Chapter 468: The Truth, the Key

Deep in the blood realm, in a dark and eerie cell.

Tick ​​tock!

A drop of water fell along the stalactites hanging from the ceiling into the shallow layer of dirty water below, making a sound.

Panbala didn't know how long he had been unconscious. He finally woke up a little when he heard the noise. He slowly opened his eyes and felt his mouth was very dry. His two arms were stretched out, and his palms seemed to be pierced by something sharp and nailed to the wall. Waves of tingling pain continued to come. He subconsciously wanted to struggle -

"hiss!"

The expression on Panbala's face suddenly froze, and the blood and flesh all over his body seemed to be boiling.

In severe pain, his body bulged and the chains wrapped around his body rattled. It took a long time before they slowly calmed down.

It was obvious that some extremely sophisticated restriction had been placed on him. Thinking of the horrific scene he saw in the blood world before he fainted, Panbala's restless heart slowly fell into fear.

He had no intention of escaping, so he simply observed the surroundings. The cell was in a bad condition, with blackened blood stained on the walls, rusty hooks hanging from the ceiling, and several skull-shaped oil lamps emitting strange light. Directly opposite was a heavy door, with two fully armed dragon guards guarding the door, like two imposing sculptures.

Bhanbala opened his mouth and was about to ask something.

Then the two dragon guards suddenly moved, and the door was slowly opened with the sound of stones rubbing against each other.

The corridor outside was dark and deep, and the darkness that seemed to be real dispersed slightly, and then a burly figure walked towards them slowly.

This person is Su Heng.

Beside him, there were two young and beautiful girls. The one wearing a red dress and having an expressionless face was Li Hongxiu, while the one with a slightly nervous look on her face was Lilith.

Su Heng stood in the cell with a swagger. He waved his hand and asked the two dragon guards to leave the room.

His eyes fell on Bhanbala.

The corner of this guy's mouth twitched, and it seemed that he was trying to force a smile.

But he failed. Out of great fear, the expression on Panbala's face was uglier than crying.

Seeing this reaction, Su Heng was immediately amused. "I've heard some news about you before, and I thought you were something extraordinary. I didn't expect that you were just this good. I'm really disappointed."

clap clap!

Su Heng patted his face and said with a click of the tongue, "How should I put it? I still prefer your unruly look before."

"My Lord, you are joking." Panbala smiled very reluctantly and said shamelessly, "Before, I was blind and ignorant. Now, if you can give me a chance, I want to turn over a new leaf and become a good person."

This guy behaved very spinelessly.

Su Heng sneered, "Stop talking so smoothly. You should know my origins."

"Whatever you want to know, I will tell you everything I know." Panbala was very happy. After seeing Su Heng's mental projection, he knew that it was useless to resist such a being. In this case, he might as well tell you everything he knew, so that he could suffer less and maybe even have a chance to survive.

In fact, there are different classes among the group of adventers, such as Panbala, who has been excluded for a long time and is responsible for observing execution and handling special situations.

Without a doubt, they are at the bottom of this group.

The more work you do, the greater the risk.

But there is no corresponding status and remuneration.

The Adventers are also human beings, or in other words, they are the "real people", so naturally there will be some psychological imbalances.

With all these reasons combined, Panbala decided to completely betray his superior without much hesitation.

Seeing Panbala's cooperative attitude, Su Heng was a little disappointed. After integrating the Heart of the Insect Swarm, Su Heng figured out hundreds of tortures on the way here, several of which were both very ornamental and practical. I originally thought I could try it on this guy, but now it seems that I can't use it for the time being.

"Oh..." Su Heng sighed softly.

A sense of warning suddenly flashed through Panbala's mind, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Sir?" he asked tentatively with a forced smile on his face.

"Where should I start?" Su Heng looked down and saw the anxious and hesitant expression on Lilith's face. "First, tell me why you came here. And Lilith, she has always wanted to figure out where she came from."

"If my guess is correct, Lilith should be the offspring of some powerful adventuring being and human beings." Panbala said immediately.

"Can the Advent and humans reproduce?"

"Normally speaking, they can't. Although they look the same, they are actually two completely different species." Panbala answered. Su Heng nodded.

He had dissected Lilith before.

The difference between Lilith and ordinary humans is much greater than the difference between humans and dogs.

"Then how was I born?" Lilith asked, with a look of pain on her face. She reached out and grabbed the corner of Su Heng's clothes, her knuckles slightly white. Just when the two of them were talking, a few blurry images flashed through her mind, followed by a severe pain in her brain nerves. Su Heng reached out and gently brushed her long hair, and Lilith felt a little better.

Panbala said, "It should be that some kind of forbidden transformation surgery was used. The Adventers cannot reproduce, so they can only be transformed through surgery."

"This operation seems to involve some kind of..." Su Heng's eyes lit up. The information revealed by Panbala coincided with some of his previous guesses.

“You are right!”

Panbala said hurriedly, "In addition to the transformation of the physical body, the more important thing is the perfection of the spirit. This requires genetic fluid, and genetic fluid cannot be copied. Therefore, it is absolutely a taboo among the Adventers to carry out transformation surgery privately."

Panbala sighed deeply and said, "Although I don't know the details of this matter, I can roughly guess it. It should be that a certain powerful descender had sex with a mortal woman and gave birth to a child. However, because the offspring's genes were incomplete and could not last long, they took the risk of using genetic fluid to complete it. And in order to avoid investigation within the tribe, they placed Lilith in the blood world."

"But truth cannot be hidden. As time went by, the truth of the matter was gradually exposed. I received an order to come and capture him, and then the girl knew everything that happened afterwards."

"What would happen if you really took me away?" Lilith slowly digested the truth of the matter and asked calmly.

"I'm not lying to you, sir." Panbala said, "It's possible that he will be further supplemented in the genetic fluid and become a true Adventer. But it's more likely that he will be punished, killed and refined, and the used genetic fluid will be extracted again."

"What is genetic fluid?" Li Hongxiu asked curiously.

The strength of the adventers seems to be exceptionally strong, and the key to their strength is the genetic fluid mentioned by Panbala.

"It is the highest achievement of the human federation's biological alchemy. Legend has it that it is the ultimate that human evolution can achieve." Panbala's face was full of piety. "But the human federation was destroyed ten thousand years ago. What's left are just wandering ghosts."

"So, the adventers are the remnants of the Federation?" Su Heng had previously received some information from the King of Immortality, which now corresponded to what Panbala had described.

"That's right." Panbala said, "We came to this land and expelled and slaughtered the natives. The chief used genetic technology to copy a group of humans and transformed them, hoping that they could adapt to the power of Changshengtian and use this as the foundation for rebuilding the federation. As you know, these humans who were created are your ancestors."

"Did he succeed?" Su Heng grinned. "Are these created humans satisfactory to him?"

"Obviously, not."

Bambara tried to shrug his shoulders, but he was too weak.

Even such a simple attempt failed, and instead the chains on his body clanked.

Panbala took a deep breath and said, "In the vision of the great patriarch, these new humans should be able to adapt to the pollution of Changshengtian and ensure their purity as human beings. But obviously, with the expansion of the myth battlefield, a large number of humans died, and some of those who survived by chance also became alienated. In addition, although there are practitioners, there are not many who are worthy of attention, and they cannot meet the level that the great patriarch is satisfied with."

"..."

Su Heng was silent for a while, and the atmosphere in the room seemed particularly solemn.

"If you fail to meet his requirements, then what will happen?"

Panbala showed a bitter smile on his face. He did not answer directly, but used a metaphor, "Lord Dragon, if you planted a vegetable field but neglected to take care of it, and came back after a while and found that it was full of weeds, what would you do?"

"Of course, pull out all the weeds, renovate the land, and then replant." Su Heng answered directly without thinking too much.

"good."

Panbala nodded, "I think you understand what will happen next."

"I remember you said before that at the beginning of creation, you left a backup plan on your body. Is this backup plan the key to clearing the weeds?" Su Heng asked again.

"That's right." Panbala said, "In fact, I had already started planning this matter before I came to the Blood Realm, and now it's almost done... ahem!"

He didn't have time to finish his words.

Suddenly he started coughing violently and a look of fear appeared on his face.

Dark black blood flowed out from the monk's eyes and nostrils like gurgling snakes.

In addition, his face was distorted and his eyes were red, making him look extremely hideous and painful.

Almost at the moment when the abnormality appeared, Panbala's life breath began to weaken rapidly. Except for Su Heng, everyone present was shocked by this sudden change.
