Extraordinary Puppeteer

Chapter 187 The Evolution of Underground Ecology
Angela nodded, she also knew all about the [Moth Slough] ceremony.

When the ritual is started, all life within the range will evolve under the influence of the chef's power. This evolution is completely random, and there is a certain chance of being deformed into an evil thing.

The arranger can't avoid the erosive influence of the chef's power, and must hold the scale charm to avoid it, which is equivalent to a proof of identity so that the ceremony will not erode itself.

"After a while, the underground waterway in the old factory area will become very lively. The killer, the witch, the guard, and the ghost will go down to take action. I, the sharp blade, and you will guard the entrance of the temporary stronghold to ensure the safety of the retreat route."

After listening to Carlin's arrangement, Angela nodded in agreement, and then the temporary stronghold fell into silence.

20 meters below the temporary stronghold.

This is a wide underground cavity, 10 meters high and about 100 meters in diameter.

In the center is a strange big tree with twisted and twisted roots, only six thick branches, without any leaves, and the bark looks like moth wings covered with dense scales.

The big tree shook from time to time, the fluorescence emitted by the moth scales fluctuated slightly, and several pieces of sage stones embedded in the trunk were shining brightly.

This is the pupa tree for the [Moth Molt] ceremony.

Beside the pupa tree, a giant snake as thick as three buckets was taking a nap. The giant snake exuded a powerful aura, which made people feel a sense of oppression at the upper reaches of the food chain.

The strange thing is that their skin is also covered with dense moth scales.

On the side were six brown moths that had been magnified countless times and were more than four meters long. They were like hardworking bees, shuttling back and forth between a mountain of corpses piled up by evil things and a pupa tree.

One after another, the corpses of the evil creatures were thrown towards the pupa tree. When the corpses landed on the ground, the tentacles-like roots directly inserted into the corpses, continuously absorbing rich nutrients.

Connor and Hannibal stood in front of the trunk of the big tree, watching corpses being sucked up by the chrysalis tree one after another. Six professional spirit moths flew to the tips of the six branches and hung upside down on the branches.

Hannibal, who was usually serious and unsmiling, also showed a slightly excited expression at this time, and Connor even showed his excitement on his face.

As time passed by every minute and every second, until noon after several hours, all the evil things used as fertilizer were absorbed by the pupa tree.

At this time, Connor took a deep breath and said, "It's time to start, let's start the ceremony directly."

"I hope everything goes well. We can only choose to perform the ceremony deep underground and try to avoid alarming others."

The reason why they took so much effort to plant the pupa tree in the ground was that they were worried that there would be too much movement when starting up.

[Moth Slough] is not as unknown as [Su Sheng]. Almost no one knew about the [Su Sheng] ceremony before the Ace family incident.

[Moth Molt] When activated, the image of the chef will be projected from the outside world, and there will definitely be a large number of extraordinary people who will recognize this ritual.

Although the fruit of evolution is not as safe as the power of new life, there are also many coveters.

At that time, a large number of extraordinary people will frantically search for the pupa tree like sharks smelling blood.

Hannibal took a deep breath, suppressed the trace of worry in his heart, and began to recite the obscure ancient Tyrannian mantra.

Accompanied by the chanting of the mantra, the six spirit moths pupated into six pupae at a speed visible to the naked eye, hanging on the branches and shaking gently.

The root system of the pupa tree began to shrink slowly, and a large amount of essence nutrients were transported to the pupae.

Countless powder-like light spots sprinkled from the surface as the chrysalis swayed, floating in the air.

The light spot merged directly after touching the rock wall of the underground cavity, and spread rapidly in the ground.

Soon Karin's temporary stronghold was filled with dots of light.

And they were just waiting for something quietly, and didn't dig a hole down immediately.

At this time, the spot of light accidentally touched the small bugs hidden in the soil, and all the creatures that absorbed the spot of light turned into pupae in an instant.

The chrysalis beats like a heart.

I saw the chrysalis of a small earthworm burst open, and turned into a beetle with an earthworm tail on its lower body, and its body also swelled to a height of five centimeters.

But in the next moment, this little beetle was about to be squeezed into a ball of meat paste by countless mud and sandstones. At this critical moment, the survival instinct drove the beetle to pupate again.

In addition to this humble earthworm, countless lives buried deep in the ground have also evolved.

But not every life is like an earthworm. After the first pupation, it became unsuitable for the underground environment and started the second pupation before dying.

After countless life evolutions, they suddenly changed their forms, became unsuitable for the underground environment, and were directly squeezed into a ball of meat sauce by the terrifying pressure of the formation.
In addition to the soil, there are also mice inhabiting the sewers, and ants that have opened up ant nests, and one life after another has begun to evolve rapidly.

The evolution of life is being staged in the underground where no one pays attention to at ordinary times.

In this way, some of the lives in the underground ecological environment successfully evolved to the next stage, some were directly crushed into meat paste by the pressure of the formation, and a small part were spiritually collapsed and deformed into evil things during the disordered evolution.

Numerous creatures that absorbed the chef's power turned into chrysalis jumping and growing surgingly.

Carlin also felt the movement around him, and frowned, but still didn't move.

At this time, the outside sky also began to change.

The bright light suddenly pierced through the misty city of steam, causing pedestrians on the street to stop and look up.

Charlotte, who was walking on the streets of the East District on the upper reaches of the Lamu River, was thinking about something, and looked up at the sky, and her pupils shrank suddenly.

At some point, a huge pattern appeared in the sky.

A chef wearing a tall hat holds a lighted alcohol lamp in his left hand. The flame burns the crucible held in his right hand, and a moth chrysalis is quietly lying in the crucible.

The light from the alcohol lamp directly pierced through the fog in the capital of steam, making everyone's visibility extremely clear.

When Charlotte saw it, she jumped up like a cat with fried fur, and ran towards the secret service headquarters.

"Chef? Moth chrysalis?

Someone arranged a [moth slough] ceremony in the capital of steam! "

At the same time, there was a mouse nest in the sewer of the old factory area.

A large number of moth pupae burst open with a bang.

Mutated mice the size of a calf crawled out of the broken moth pupae one after another, and their eyes shone dark red in the dark sewer.

"Squeak-cheep-cheep-"

A rustling sound came from the mouths of this group of mutated mice.

A yellow-skinned mouse with electric arcs all over its body stood out from the group of mice, with a professional-level aura emerging from its body, it squeaked and roared at the other mutant mice.

In an instant, dozens of mutated mice scattered in all directions with a bang, and quickly shuttled through the complex network of underground water pipes.

In another place, ants the size of a colony of wolf dogs also began to spread in the sewer, and their range of activities suddenly became countless times larger than before.

After the evolution of life, the demand for food is also greater, and these evolved social creatures need to find more food to satisfy the same evolved appetite.
