“I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I seem to be able to sense a kind of power in these animal mummies.
This is a quite mysterious feeling, as if I can travel through time and communicate with these genetic beasts from the past. "
Unexpectedly, Aaron, who had always been taciturn, suddenly expressed his views on this.
Feeling power on a pile of mummies sounds a bit like the inexplicable agitation of ancient power, which is very consistent with the characteristics of the temple here.
This sense of inexplicable power made Bai Ning first think of the bond between souls.
In other words, these mummies actually have their own powerful souls sealed. The beasts that injected genetic medicine in the Gene Temple before actually only devoured these mummies with powerful soul power.
In this way, while strengthening one's own strength, one's own soul will also fall into a state of stress, so that it will eventually explode and die.
However, this is the Gene Temple, why is it connected to the soul?
Furthermore, after the death of a living organism, the soul will leave the body immediately. What is the principle of these mummies that can imprison the soul, and what is the reason for imprisoning the soul?
Many questions lingered in Bai Ning's mind, and it was extremely difficult to understand them clearly.
“The correlation between the Gene Temple and the Soul Temple may not exist in isolation.
These animal mummies may be some very representative genetic masterpieces, but they may also be containers used to imprison specific souls.
The difference between the souls of humans and animals may be the fundamental reason why the Soviets failed in the biochemical beast project. "
Bai Ning's response seems to be stating the connection between the body and the soul, but even if this guess is correct, what impact will it have on the current overall situation?
"So, if Aaron holds these animal mummies, can he also gain their corresponding abilities?"
Jiang Yingxue's next words seemed like a joke, but they did represent her way of thinking about animal mummies.
“Things like the soul are too illusory for us, let alone this top-notch research result that combines the body.
If we can connect to the management core here, we may be able to get a glimpse of it. "
After Bai Ning finished speaking, he raised his legs and walked directly towards the central column. He seemed to be bored with the current topic.
The three-person team entered the central area of the temple. This area seemed very clean. Except for the white totem pole in the center, there was nothing else around.
After walking around for a whole time, Bai Ning didn't find any animal mummies missing from the display stand. It seemed that the wild beasts that had gone crazy did not gain strength by devouring animal mummies.
Everything in this temple has been explored, and the only thing that can cause animals to go crazy is the white pillar in front of them.
Based on various previous experiences, this white pillar must be quite dangerous. If it is not handled properly, it will probably burn to death like those crazy animals.
Seeing Bai Ning standing motionless in the distance, Jiang Yingxue didn't know what to say.
At present, all language is lacking and all past experience is useless.
Facing this towering totem in front of you, you can't give any description or question. You can only stand quietly like Bai Ning, silently admiring what you can see in front of you.
"You connected the black pillars through the crystal core. Do you think this behavior is still effective?"
For a long time, Bai Ning still looked dazed, and Jiang Yingxue finally couldn't help but strike up a conversation.
These words may be just to advance the situation on the field, or just to break the embarrassment in the field, or they may be meaningless.
Anyway, Jiang Yingxue spoke, but Bai Ning was still not big enough.
It was as if his consciousness had been captured by the white pillar and he was trapped in another level of consciousness.
For Bai Ning at this time, he seemed to feel instinctively that there was nothing he could do about the white pillar in front of him.
This white pillar seemed to pose no threat, and there was no barrier between them, but Bai Ning firmly believed that it was dangerous.
There is no cannon fodder here, and it is difficult to conduct trial and error, so we can only weigh it quietly.
Just like when he stood in front of the descending tunnel leading to the ancient ruins, the decision to jump down was very decisive and revealed absolute madness, but this was the product of Bai Ning's decisive decision.
Gambling is an attitude as well as a means.
Now that Bai Ning is a chess piece at the core of the illusion, it is easy to make a big gamble, but how to get a chance of survival for himself in this kind of game is the most difficult problem at the moment.
"Bring a mummy of an animal nearby and throw it towards the white pillar."
Unexpectedly, Bai Ning would come up with such a slightly unbelievable solution after being silent for a long time.
What kind of impact can this mummy of an animal that has been left for who knows how many years have on the white pillars?
Although she didn't quite understand it, Jiang Yingxue was still very much looking forward to the outcome of the interaction between the animal mummies and the white pillars.
These animal mummies look emaciated and weightless, but they are extremely heavy when moved, and it feels like lifting an iron lump.
Fortunately, Bai Ning and Aaron's arms were strong, and they worked together to throw a mummy weighing nearly 100 kilograms with difficulty.
The result was not very good. Even if the throwing method was used, the mummy was only thrown five or six meters in the end.
The mummy appeared to be extremely hard, maintaining strong inertia and sliding on the ground for another meter or two.
Such a close distance, to be honest, too far away from the white pillar, seems to have no meaning.
Just as Bai Ning was about to look for some long objects nearby to push the mummy further, the mummy that fell on the ground suddenly started to tremble as if it was coming to life.
This is a very inexplicable shaking. It looks like the mummified body is slowly unwinding, a bit like it is coming back to life.
"What's going on? Can these mummies be resurrected?
This kind of current situation is completely contrary to biological common sense, and can even be said to be completely contrary to the law of life and death. It is absolutely impossible for the Atlantean civilization to achieve it. "
Looking at the strange scene in front of her, Jiang Yingxue felt incredible and at the same time firmly denied the first concept in her mind.
There are many ways to achieve immortality, but if it is to become a mummy and then regain vitality in an inexplicable way, this is completely unacceptable to her.
"It should be that the soul trapped in the dried corpse reacted with something.
The white pillar may be related to genetic research, but it may also have some connection with the soul through other means.
Thinking about the crazy animals before, this may be their basic appearance after coming here. "
As soon as Bai Ning finished speaking, the ground squirmed crazily, and even the mummy, whose withered body had softened, suddenly burst into flames.
This yellow flame is very familiar to Bai Ning, and is very similar to the external appearance of spontaneous combustion of the human body.
There is not much difference between yellow and bright yellow, perhaps it is a matter of soul purity.
This phenomenon directly proves the fact that there is a soul within the mummy, but it is also an absolute fact that is puzzling!
“From an offensive and defensive perspective, our souls may have been affected in the Soul Temple, so the management core will let us enter the Gene Temple.
Even more bold guesses, this place seems to be undefended for us, but in fact it is just because we will die once we enter the core area. "
Jiang Yingxue and Aaron didn't think Bai Ning was being alarmist, especially Aaron whose soul had been severely damaged. If anyone here was going to spontaneously combust, then Aaron would be the first one.
“We can’t go any further, so we have no choice but to leave.”
This is a very natural conclusion. When Jiang Yingxue expressed it, there was no hint of loss of confidence. It was just a superficial summary based on the current situation, and she was indirectly asking Bai Ning if there were any other solutions.
Just like Bai Ning's usual attitude after entering this place, Bai Ning's response to Jiang Yingxue was still silence.
The Gene Temple is the easiest place for Bai Ning and his team to obtain high-value secrets. If they are lucky, they can even obtain some forgotten ancient high-tech products.
But it just so happens that such a place that is easiest to produce results has now become the most dangerous place.
Obviously in the fourth civilization, the results here are places that the destroyers disdain to destroy.
But even this most trivial existence has become the biggest obstacle blocking Bai Ning and his party.
The gap between a civilization that has reached its peak and a nascent civilization can sometimes only make people sigh.
However, when I thought about it, since they were the last pawns at the core of the illusion and could enter the Gene Temple to cause ultimate destruction, how could they be so vulnerable?
Could it be that there is something else in this temple that Bai Ning has not noticed?
Continuing to look around, except for more undiscovered mummies of wild beasts, the heritage of this genetic temple seemed to stop there.
The management core's control over this gene temple is absolutely perfect, so why doesn't it launch a more powerful attack mechanism on Bai Ning and others?
Just relying on the range damage of a guarding white pillar, this defensive system is too passive.
Bai Ning didn't think that the management core had any tendency to underestimate the enemy and be arrogant. Based on the desperate struggle it had gathered with the beasts in the entire area, he should be able to understand the management core's determination to resist foreign enemies.
Is it because the Gene Temple itself has limited enemy response mechanisms, or is it because the core of the illusion is interfering with it?
The dazzling attacks can at least make people think about how to dodge. The strange and quiet environment is the greatest test for explorers.
