Big Devil: Starting from refining flying zombies

This golden mask from the ancient Mamba Dynasty has a rather strange shape, with the overall proportion being wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.

Among them, the two holes opened for the eyes are in the shape of an inverted triangle, and they are particularly exaggerated and huge.

Around the eye sockets, you can see that the craftsman used embossing techniques to embellish lines in the shapes of ears of wheat and olive branches.

Perhaps it is due to the immature technology of refining gold in ancient times.

The luster of the gold mask is not as dazzling as many accessories in the gold shop, but instead looks a bit dull.

It seems to be a ritual vessel used for sacrifice, and it is filled with the flavor of primitive nature worship.

But it is such an ancient cultural relic that should have been sent to the Federal Museum for people to view.

But it has the ability to ignore the laws of nature and control plant germination, growth, mutation and maturity at will!

The natives of the Earth-Star Federation like Fabio may not be able to truly understand the greatest value of this contained object.

Because no matter how hard he tried, the only plant materials he could use were ordinary species.

So what if it can grow and mutate at will.

The upper limit is naturally there. Any monk in the foundation-building stage of Tianlan Continent can ignore Fabio's tricks.

If the Golden Mask fell into Liang Xiao's hands, it would be completely different.

There are countless spiritual plants in the Tianlan Continent and even immortal treasures similar to the Tianyuan Fruit Tree.

They often take thousands of years to grow slowly, and consume a huge amount of cultivation resources.

Therefore, treasures or magical techniques that can accelerate the growth of plants are extremely rare in the entire world of cultivation.

If a low-level casual cultivator gets the opportunity to obtain such a treasure.

It can even become the foundation for his enlightenment, and it will not be difficult to help him cross several powerful levels in the world of cultivation.

After all, if a cultivator wants to improve his cultivation rapidly, it is the simplest, most direct and effective way to obtain additional benefits from heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

"The characteristics of this contained object are so critical that it must be mastered at all costs!"

When Liang Xiao looked at the golden mask in Fabio's hand, his eyes flashed.

I even had the idea of ​​​​taking it away directly.

But Fabio was unusually calm.

He allowed Liang Xiao and Boris to look at the contained object, and even placed it directly on the table in front of the three of them.

Liang Xiao also understood this scene when he saw Fabio's confidence.

The characteristics of this contained object are not that simple.

After all, things like contained objects are basically the product of a combination of several abnormal properties.

"Hey? Hey...Help, my hands are moving out of control!"

At this moment, Boris was shocked to find that an invisible force bound his whole body.

Like a puppet with strings, he reached out and touched the golden mask on the table.

As a result, Boris' stubby fingers were just about to touch the golden mask, but they somehow missed the mark.

The fingers directly penetrated the golden mask through the entire palm, as if this prehistoric mask was just a false holographic phantom.

In Liang Xiao's perception, this golden mask does have a real sense of reality.

Even when Fabio put it on the table, it made a moderate knocking sound, which was obviously heavy.

"You don't need to test it. I have become the host of this contained object."

"No one can touch it before my life comes to an end. Just like a ghost mask, this is one of the characteristics of the unsolved containment object."

Fabio saw this scene happening in front of him but did not angrily scold Boris for being careless.

Instead, he turned his head to look at Liang Xiao and let out a hoarse laugh.

He had just seen that Boris' strange behavior was clearly under the control of Liang Xiao. After all, the latter did not deliberately hide anything.

"You have to give it a try. It would be a shame if you fooled me out of thin air!"

Liang Xiao withdrew his fingers that kept flying out the zhenqi threads with a nonchalant expression. He rubbed his chin instead, stared at Fabio with squinted eyes and said:

"But you are really brave, and you actually directly stated the conditions for unbinding. Although it is impossible to fight against the ghost-like characteristics of the Golden Mask, it is quite difficult to end your life. Something to look forward to.”

Fabio let out a deep laugh after hearing this, and said, "I have to mention another characteristic effect of this golden mask. If used well, this can be enough to destroy the world."

Immediately afterwards, Liang Xiao knew the reason why Fabio was able to let the Illuminati tolerate him getting away with it, and even became a veteran member of the Chosen Group with not much strength.

If the alienated plants that were spawned by the Golden Mask were released into nature, they could be combined with ordinary plants and continue to reproduce the next generation of plants.

But this kind of transmission is like some kind of supernatural genetic virus. The control of the alienated plant is still in Fabio, who is the host of the Golden Mask.

As long as he has a thought, he can cause all the plants reproduced by those alienated plants to fall into a situation similar to genetic collapse.

What's even more coincidental is that before Fabio was involved in the containment circle, he was a botanist affiliated with the Academy of Agricultural Sciences of the Earth-Star Federation.

Therefore, he has enough platform and opportunity to alienate the plant seeds cultivated as the first generation of improved crops by the Earth-Star Federation.

By the time Fabio entered the public eye as a containment carrier, it was already too late.

You must know that Fabio has now used the Golden Mask to master as many as seventy-seven different types of plants.

Many of them can affect some plant species worldwide - such as cereals, legumes, and tubers.

Coupled with sixteen years of iteration, grafting, and hybridization of alienated plants, the scope that can be affected is extremely huge.

Nowadays, almost all conventional crops are grown within the natural range of the Earth-Star Federation.

Tracing its origin, one can find a certain batch of alienated seeds.

Even if the Illuminati tried their best to find seeds that were not contaminated by the properties of the Golden Mask and would not let Fabio get stuck in his neck, it was completely impossible.

It can be said that once Fabio started causing trouble.

There are as many as seventy-seven different species of plants around the world, which will begin to move toward unstoppable mass extinction at the same time.

Regardless of the horrific damage a mass extinction of plant species on this scale can cause to the ecosystem.

As far as the most direct consequence is concerned, the Earth-Star Federation will fall into an era of great famine in an absolute sense.

The billions of people living on this planet now consume astronomical amounts of food every day.

Agricultural crops serve as staple foods in most areas.

If one day we lose most of the crops that can serve as staple food, the remaining poultry, meat and aquatic products alone will definitely not be enough to distribute to billions of people. Don’t expect that fish farms and ranches equipped with modern farming technology can save the world.

Because after the social order is completely destroyed and collapsed, there is simply not enough time and external conditions to maintain production.

And the most critical point is that animals need to eat.

Raising chickens and ducks requires grains and corn, fish, shrimp and seafood require algae, and cattle and sheep for meat also need to eat grass.

The ecosphere can actually be thought of as a food chain.

Plants are the most basic producers. If they disappear out of thin air, their effect will be no less than draining fuel from the bottom of the cauldron.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration that Fabio's ability can destroy the world. At least it is more than enough to destroy the human civilization of the Earth Star Federation.

"The reason why the Golden Kingdom of Ancient Mamba, recorded in ancient epics, disappeared into the dust of history, apart from violent volcanic activity, is also suspected to be related to a sudden famine."

"Some people of later generations made subjective assumptions and thought that the ancient Mamba people were indolent and did not want to work, so they were condemned by God and punished by God. But all this is just a fantasy."

"Because there are no real gods in this world. Even if there are, the moral likes and dislikes of mere humans are too insignificant."

"The so-called Great Famine is probably just what the ancient Mamba who mastered the Golden Mask did by using the effect of the contained object."

"Although I'm not a bad person, I won't deliberately create famine and make the entire world go to hell."

"But I am not a good person in the absolute sense. No matter who wants to take action against me, I will not hesitate to press the button of species destruction."

"Even those big figures in the Earth-Star Federation who are at the pinnacle of power, or containment carriers like you who use containment to become extraordinary, probably don't want to live in a desolate and dilapidated world."

Fabio let out a series of weird laughter at Liang Xiao. Boris trembled as he listened, nervously watching the two big guys in front of him playing a game.

Liang Xiao was silent for a while, noncommittal to Fabio's rather certain words.

In fact, Fabio's famine threat cannot be said to have no effect on Liang at all, it can only be said to be dispensable.

After all, this guy is not from the Terrain Federation.

Liang Xiao's level of consideration was completely different from what Fabio had imagined.

He, a treasure hunter who smuggled in, had to say how much he cared about the lives and deaths of the civilians in this world.

If you think about it, you know it's impossible.

But other containment objects in this world are of extremely high value, and falling into absolute chaos is not a good thing.

After all, the Illuminati still controls the world-killing switch.

If that thing gets out of control.

The human civilization of the Earth-Star Federation simply cannot wait for the finale where all members starve to death, and will explode into the sky in advance.

Therefore, Fabio's threat theory can be regarded as false.

For the time being, Liang Xiao gave up the idea of ​​directly taking away the Golden Mask.

After all, if you take this containment object, you will have to consider giving up the containment of the out-of-control world. It is completely fishing for the best and killing the goose to get the eggs.

And because of the Omega-level containment object "Juliet".

The Martial God clone cannot return to the Tianlan Continent yet, and will probably be left to live in other low-level apocalyptic worlds in the future.

"The benefits of containing an out-of-control world are indeed great, but the risks are really not controllable. It's really a double-edged sword!"

Liang Xiao thought in his heart and shook his head helplessly.

But the Golden Mask was so important that he couldn't give up. Even if the option of directly snatching it away was shelved, he still had other ways.

"Fabio, you said you can only control seventy-seven different types of plants, and now you have no more times."

"This limitation should not be the characteristics of Golden Mask's contained objects, but your own limitations."

Liang Xiao suddenly spoke up and asked this question, causing Fabio to be slightly startled, as if he didn't expect that the former could guess this.

"Why do you think so? The characteristics of contained objects are very complicated. Sometimes there is no logic or reason at all." Fabio probed quietly, wondering if Liang Xiao really saw it. What.

"Although the characteristics of the contained objects are irregular, the abnormal phenomena caused by them are traceable."

"It seems you need me to be more precise."

"Then let me make it clear that in the human body, the total number of complete organ systems is - seventy-eight."

"And except for the brain that controls the human nerve center, which is still human, the rest of your body has turned into a plant form."

"This is equivalent to the alienation of all the remaining seventy-seven organ systems. Doesn't this mean anything?"

"I have to suspect that this is the negative price to pay for using the Golden Mask."

Liang Xiao's eyes were shining with wisdom at this moment. He raised his hand and pointed at Fabio, and said slowly: "So you lied before, and you still have the last chance to mutate the plant."

Although Fabio's big tree body couldn't see any change in expression, the surrounding aura had obviously changed.

After a moment, he said with a slightly mocking tone:

"Actually, there is no difference. So what if I still have one chance left?"

"Because after using it this time, my brain will be transformed into wood, which means I will die immediately. Then everything will be meaningless to me."

Liang Xiao was not anxious when he saw this scene. Instead, he said to Fabio thoughtfully: "Is it really meaningless? Why not put a price on your remaining life? I can promise to buy it at a premium."

You must know that in the mortal world view, life is valuable, but it has a length.

If time were used for simple replacement, it would be incredible that a normal human being could successfully live to be 120 years old.

Moreover, life is priceless is an extremely one-sided statement.

When they were young, people would exchange their lives for knowledge, honor or happiness; when they were young, people would like to exchange their lives for positions, money and partners...

So think about it from another perspective.

For many people, there are things in life that are heavier and more expensive than life that can be exchanged.

And Liang Xiao had seen countless people, and he had long seen that the man in front of him was mentally exhausted under his calm surface.

He seems to have some lingering obsessions.

But for Liang Xiao now, there are very few problems that can stump him in this world.

If we can rely on a wave of interest exchange to successfully obtain the Golden Mask from Fabio.

That was an extremely cost-effective thing for Liang Xiao, and he wouldn't mind making a guest appearance as a devil who instigates mortals to sell their souls. (End of chapter)
