At this time, Xu Guxin finally understood why Xu Yusheng trusted Gao Tianhu so much. He could come all the way just to say, "I'll take you home." Such a leader is indeed trustworthy and worthy of giving his life. .
"By the way, boss, I can survive thanks to the rescue of the human brothers on this planet. This is the human brother Xu Guxin who saved me." Xu Yusheng wiped away his tears and pointed at Xu Guxin and introduced.
"I am Gao Tianhu from the human race on Earth. Thank you very much for saving my compatriots." Gao Tianhu said with sincere gratitude after saluting Xu Guxin.
"My name is Xu Guxin, the human vanguard captain of the Flame City on the Sky Spider Planet. Since we are all human beings, we should help." Xu Guxin replied to Gao Tianhu.
"Boss, another group of mutated creatures are surrounding us from all directions. We have to leave here quickly." Gao Tianhu received the report from the battleship in his headset.
"Let's talk somewhere else. Those strange mutant creatures are here again." Gao Tianhu said to Xu Guxin.
"Then let's take you to take refuge in our outpost first, and then at night I will take you to meet the lord of our Xu Guxin City." Xu Guxin said while leading the way.
"Okay, but before that, I will send my compatriots back for treatment." Gao Tianhu asked Mo Lin's team to return to the battleship to wait, and took Xu Yusheng back to the battleship to treat his broken arm. Mo Lin took the team and Xu Yusheng took off and disappeared in mid-air.
"Brothers Tianhu, why have they disappeared? Is there a wormhole in the sky?" Xu Guxin asked with wide eyes looking at the disappearing mecha.
"We just entered my battleship. Now you can take us to the outpost you just mentioned. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time." Gao Tianhu reminded, after all, mutant creatures have begun to slowly surround us.
"Come with me!" Xu Guxin turned around and left with Gao Tianhu and others, heading to the human outpost in Lieyan City.
"We are safe here, and those mutant creatures will not chase us." Xu Guxin said with a sigh of relief after entering the base, and then removed his armor.
"Brother Lone Heart, what's going on with the creatures on this Sky Spider Planet? They seem to have undergone strange mutations, and I just saw that some creatures have evolved into half-human forms." Gao Tianhu and others He also removed his armor, but it only touched his head.
"I didn't expect brother Tianhu to look so young." Xu Guxin said in surprise after seeing Gao Tianhu's true appearance. He originally thought that Gao Tianlin would be a middle-aged man in his thirties like himself, but he didn't expect that his partner looked like Like an eighteen or nineteen year old.
"Brother Gu Xin, this is a joke. According to the calculation of our earth, I am already twenty-six years old this year and already a Ben San person." Gao Tianhu felt that he was not young anymore. Many years had passed since he participated in the battle. .
"Let's first talk about where those strange mutated creatures came from!" Gao Tianhu changed the topic and said. He originally thought that this planet was full of enemies, but he didn't expect that there were still human beings surviving. How did these people get here? On a planet, or are they the same as the human race on earth, coming from the same place?
"That's because this group of creatures existed before our ancestors came to this planet. It is said that our ancestors said that when they first arrived on the Spider Planet, the Spider Clan here had just risen, and the technology was very backward. They are no match for our ancestors. After a great purge, these spider people disappeared."
"It wasn't until seven hundred years ago that a large number of Spider Stars suddenly appeared from the other side of the sea. They also possessed a large number of human technological weapons and brought with them hundreds of millions of mutated creatures. Among them, like the black ones that attacked you this time, Humanoid creatures appeared the most at that time, and later on, mutant creatures were everywhere on the Spider Planet, fighting with us humans, causing our living environment to get worse and worse." Hearing Gao Tianlin's answer, Xu Guxin didn't feel at ease I knew how to proceed. Fortunately, Gao Tianhu changed the topic in time.
"How could an ancient creature that has existed for so long evolve into a human form?" Gao Tianhu wondered again. After all, this is really strange. If all intelligent creatures eventually evolve into human form, does that mean that The human race is targeted by various races because the other race was targeted by humans before they evolved.
"I don't know the specifics. I just know that these creatures only started to evolve towards humans after humans arrived on the Spider Planet. However, for thousands of years, I have never seen any mutated creatures completely evolve into humans. There are more or less strange special diagnoses. The most powerful Spider Star people are not as powerful as our human race in terms of intelligence, but their reproductive ability is particularly strong." Xu Guxin shook his head and said, after all, since he was sensible, He just kept training to make himself stronger. His father told him about the creatures on the Sky Spider Planet. Even his father didn't know much about these things.
"Then you haven't thought about killing all these alien creatures?" Gao Tianhu asked curiously, but after asking, he discovered the problem. If he could kill them all, the humans here would not hide anymore.
"Why have I never thought that all the humans on the Spider Planet went out to fight against the Spiders and the non-mutated creatures? Many humans died in that battle. I thought that all the mutant creatures had been killed. The Spiders The Stars also disappeared again, but just a few decades later more mutant creatures appeared, and the Spider Stars appeared together. Those Spider Stars that appeared later became more powerful and smarter each time. As a result, our human race suffered increasing losses in subsequent wars."
Hearing this, Gao Tianhu frowned, since those mutated creatures and the Spider Stars were so powerful: "Then how did you survive?"
"This is strange to say. There are only a few lands on the Spider Planet that the mutant creatures from the Spider Planet will never set foot on, and the Spider Planet people will not take the initiative to attack our city, so our seniors They settled on those continents, and their ancestors have survived for generations.”
"It's really strange. Is there something in these continents or underground that these mutated creatures are afraid of?" Gao Tianhu became even more confused after hearing this. This is not like there is something that scares the creatures on the Sky Spider Planet, but more like It is a thing that once existed on the earth. It is said that some poison makers emphasize that poisonous insects must be gathered on May 5th of the lunar calendar (that is, the Dragon Boat Festival). This is influenced by the traditional concept that the poisonous gas is the most abundant on May 5th. . "Gu, more often than the Dragon Boat Festival, are used to make medicine when the yang energy is at its peak, so it can cause illness and death." Also: "Using snakes, insects, and centipedes to control it, if it cannot be rescued, a It can kill if you touch it.”
The legendary method of raising gu is similar to the one or two mentioned in "Tongzhi". Recorded in "Tongzhi". One hundred species of insects were needed, but the barbarians only wanted twelve species. Before cultivating gu, the main hall should be cleaned cleanly, the whole family, young and old, should take a bath, burn incense and light candles in front of the ancestral shrine, and pray silently to the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth. Then, dig a big pit in the center of the main hall and bury a large vat in it. The vat should be one with a large mouth and belly so that it can be easily covered. Moreover, the smaller the mouth, the less visible the situation in the vat is, and the easier it is for people to be frightened of the things in the vat, and to be in awe due to fear. The mouth of the tank must be as level as the soil. Wait until the fifth day of the fifth lunar month (Duanyang Festival), go to the field to catch any twelve kinds of reptiles and come back and ask E whether the reptiles caught on the Dragon Boat Festival can be grown into Gu), put them in the tank, and then close the lid. These reptiles are usually venomous snakes, eels, centipedes, frogs, scorpions, earthworms, big green caterpillars, mantises... In short, we don't want any flying creatures, nor do we want any creatures that can run on four legs, only some poisonous reptiles. After putting these twelve kinds of reptiles into the tank, the owner and his whole family should pray once every night after going to bed and once a day before getting up. Pray continuously for a year without stopping for one day. Moreover, when cultivating gu and praying, you must not let outsiders know. If outsiders find out, the voodoo he has raised will be taken away by the wizard using magical methods and used by the wizard, and the owner's whole family will die. Even if it is not taken away by the wizard, it will harm the owner after becoming a Gu. Over the course of a year, the reptiles devoured each other in the tank. The more poisonous ones ate the less poisonous ones, the stronger ones devoured the weaker ones, and in the end there was only one left. After eating the other eleven, this reptile changed its shape and color. . There are many types according to legends. There are two main types: one is called "Dragon Gu", which looks similar to a dragon and is probably transformed into long reptiles such as poisonous snakes and centipedes. One is called "Qilin Gu", which is similar in shape to "Qilin Gu". It is probably transformed into short-bodied reptiles such as frogs and lizards.
After a year, when the poison has developed, the owner digs out the tank and hides it in a secret room with no air or light. It is said that the voodoo likes to eat lard scrambled eggs, rice, etc. After three or four years of breeding, the voodoo will be about one foot long. The owner will choose an auspicious day to open the cylinder cover and let the voodoo fly out on its own. After Gu leaves home, sometimes it can turn into a ball of fire and hover in the woods in the mountains. Sometimes it can turn into a black shadow and go between houses in the village. The time when Gu's magic power is greatest is at dusk. Every time Gu comes home, he still lives in the tank. On the day it eats a human being, the owner does not need to feed it. It is said that the advantage of raising voodoo is not that the voodoo directly steals the treasures outside like a thief and brings them back for the owner to use, but that the voodoo's aura can be used to make everything the owner does smoothly. If the owner wants to do business, he can make a lot of money by borrowing the aura of Chong Gu. If the owner wants to be promoted, he can rise to the top with the help of Gu's spiritual energy. On the other hand, if by accident, the person who has been poisoned by the poison finds out and asks a specialized wizard to remove the poison, the owner of the poison will be in trouble and his whole family will die.
Families who raise Gu must not only serve them religiously on a daily basis, but also perform a grand sacrifice to the Gu on the 24th of the sixth lunar month every year. This ceremony lasts for three days, that is, the 24th, 25th, and 26th. During these three days, the host must use a fresh pig, a chicken, and a sheep every day. When the stars were in the sky, the whole family moved the pigs, goats and chickens into the secret room where they were raised, and fell down to pray. After praying, they chopped the pigs, goats and chickens into pieces and put them into the vat. It is said that Gu has a large appetite and high magic power. During the ceremony, outsiders are not allowed to participate, and information must not be leaked, otherwise their property and life will be in danger. In addition to the method of gathering insects to bite each other, various special poisonous poisons also have special manufacturing methods.
According to the literature records on earth, some people have systematically analyzed the poisonous insects into cat poisonous poisonous insects, spider poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous insects, and spider poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous insects. , swollen voodoo, epilepsy voodoo, yin snake voodoo, raw snake voodoo, etc.
Gao Tianhu suspected that this was the so-called Spider Star, or other alien races where humans and mutated creatures were cultivating gu.
"We were suspicious at first, and then we searched every corner and found nothing strange that could make this group of creatures afraid. Not to mention creatures or things that make the other party afraid, there are not even many ordinary creatures. "Xu Guxin said helplessly after finding a recliner and lying down.
After listening to Xu Guxin's answer, Gao Tianhu became more certain about one thing. The creatures on the Sky Spider Planet are very intelligent and can actually play with the human race and other races: "Maybe they are not. What are you afraid of and what are you waiting for?”
"What are you waiting for? Brother Tianhu, how do you say this?" Xu Guxin felt that Gao Tianlin was much younger than herself, so she still told her brother to speak smoothly.
"There is a tribe of people on our planet. The art of raising gu is spread among their tribe. This is to put a group of worms into a container and let them kill each other. Then the remaining worm becomes a gu. Now on the Sky Spider Planet It's like a container, and you and the creatures on the Sky Spider Planet are like raised voodoo insects." Although Gao Tianhu told Xu Guxin again the various methods and types of voodoo making.
"Brother Tianhu, are you saying that someone is controlling all of this? And our human race and those mutated creatures were actually deliberately controlled by the other party to create this situation?" Xu Guxin suddenly jumped up from the chair and asked, if we really want to fight with As Gao Tianhu said, it would be too scary. He has lived for so many years and has been monitored all the time.
"It is very possible that the controller is not an alien race, but..." Gao Tianhu did not continue. After all, this is too ridiculous. It is ridiculous that mutated creatures or alien races actually know the art of cultivating gu.
"It's us humans. It seems that what grandpa said before he died was right." Xu Guxin sat down on the ground.
"Last words?" Gao Tianhu asked curiously. Could it be that he was not the only one to discover these.
"Before my grandfather died, he once had a conversation with me. He asked me to take our family members to find an opportunity to escape from the Spider Planet. He also told me that everything on the Spider Planet was a conspiracy, and it was all the conspiracy of that mysterious man. .”
"How did your grandfather know that this was a conspiracy, and who is the mysterious person? Is he one of your human race?"
"Brother Tianhu, you may not understand it when you first arrive on Earth. Every time we fight with those mutant creatures, a large number of soldiers will die in battle. Every time the bodies of the tribesmen who die in battle will be dragged away by the mutant creatures, a battle many years ago, My grandfather was knocked unconscious by a shell during the battle, but he did not die. He was later taken away by mutant creatures. After that, he was sent to a strange cave lair, where he saw a weird mystery. Humans are sucking human brains and are gradually evolving into more powerful species. Later, my grandfather escaped, but everyone didn’t believe this. They thought my grandfather was frightened and went crazy. Now I know that what my grandfather saw was all It's true." Xu Guxin said helplessly.
"Then it makes sense. I guess it's humans who have discovered some kind of evil magic. Guys who want to gain a powerful body or eternal life are sucking the brains of humans, and then they are cultivating you. The plan is to select the brains of the last surviving powerful humans among you to suck them to achieve the final evolution. This is why he will not let those mutated creatures attack your human territory." Gao Tianhu frowned and said, It's really a very scary thing.
"In that case, are the humans on the Spider Planet being kept in captivity?" Everyone present was horrified after listening to Gao Tianhu's explanation. They did not expect that the humans, who are primates, would be reduced to being pets in captivity. .
"Although I don't want to admit it, if my guess is correct, it is like this." Gao Tianhu replied with a shrug.
"Damn it, I must kill this mysterious guy to avenge the dead tribesmen." Xu Guxin was filled with anger when he thought of the tribesmen who were captured and had their brains sucked even after death.
"Brother Guxin, don't be anxious. This mysterious man must be eliminated, but the primary goal now is to find his lair. As long as I find their lair, I will have a way to kill this mysterious guy." Gao Tianhu He said very confidently that there are not many other things on his battleship, but there are many weapons of all kinds.
"I know this. My grandfather gave me a map. It was the route map he used to escape from the lair. If you follow that route map, you should be able to find the mysterious man's lair. But I don't know. It can be 100% guaranteed that this map can really find the accurate location." Xu Guxin suddenly said in surprise, she originally wanted to keep this map as a reflection, but she didn't expect that it would come in handy now.
Gao Tianhu took the map from Xu Guxin's hand, observed it for a while, shook his head and said, "Brother Guxin, except for a mysterious man's base camp and a mutant creature's lair, this map has no other reference objects at all. Even us The current location is nowhere on the map, and the other routes are all winding lines, and you can't see anything at all." Gao Tianhu said helplessly, the map looked like it was drawn by a primary school student, except that it was rough Outside the lines, there are no terrain features at all. This makes Gao Tianhu how to find the route. According to his guess, even if the person who drew the map looked at it himself, he probably wouldn't be able to understand the map.
"It would be great if I could observe it from a high altitude. My grandfather must have noted the distinctive places when he was escaping for his life. If I could observe it from the air, I might be able to find out how to take this route." Xu Guxin just wanted to put away the map. , and was stopped by Gao Tianhu.
Gao Tianhu looked at Xu Guxin and asked: "You said that if you can observe from a high place, you can clearly identify the route on the map and the final destination, right?"
"That's of course. My grandfather has told me about this since I was a child. Moreover, there are mountains, lakes, and forests along the way. I can now memorize them all." Xu Guxin said confidently that he had been listening to his grandfather talk about this for twenty years, and his ears were almost scratched, so he could find the route even without looking at the map.
"Wait for me here for a while, and leave this matter to me to arrange." Gao Tianhu quickly got up and contacted Ishihara Ai in the battleship.
"Xiao Ai, how long will it take for you to send out all the micro-detection and scanning instruments to scan the floor plan of an area with a diameter of one thousand kilometers with my current location as the center, and then send it to me?"
Ishihara Ai, who was sitting in the command position eating ice cream, smacked his lips and said: "Boss, this is a big project. It will take at least two or three days, and it must be done without any accidents. If there is any emergency, it may It will take a week to complete.”
"Then I'll give you a week. After you complete the exploration, transmit it to me. I'll be of great use." After Gao Tianhu finished speaking, he hung up the terminal.
"It's done. In a week, we will have a map of the entire area here."
"Boss, that...that..." Luo Liansheng raised his hands and said awkwardly.
"Just say whatever you have to say, whatever you stutter about." Gao Tianhu looked at the stuttering Luo Liansheng and smiled.
"We have holographic images of most of the planet's surface."
"What? Do you have one?" Gao Tianhu and Xu Guxin shouted at the same time.
"Yes...yes, it was night when we entered this planet, so we didn't encounter any attacks at that time. Captain Xu led our team to scan the holographic image of the continent of Sky Spider Planet, and then recorded it. When we got down, Captain Xu said he would keep it to use as computer wallpaper." Luo Liansheng said timidly.
"Damn, if you didn't tell me earlier, why are you stammering here? I could still eat you! Take it out quickly." Gao Tianhu said with a smile.
"Yes!" Luo Liansheng took out a light and shadow and projected it together, and a huge holographic image of the surface of each continent of the Spider Planet appeared in the entire room.
"Brother Guxin, what are you waiting for? Come on, show it." Gao Tianhu pointed at the holographic image and said.
"Give me some time, I will definitely find it for you." Xu Guxin took the map and began to search against the holographic map one by one.
