Chapter 644 Confluence (7)

Going down the canyon for a while, the surrounding fog is getting heavier, and it should have entered the fog zone that we looked at from above.I couldn't observe the situation below through the fog before, but now I looked down, only to find that there was a river with white waves rushing below.

The river rushes from the top of the canyon. It is hard to see the depth, and it is not very wide. However, because of the large drop and too many rocks, the waves are very high. , all give people a sense of majesty, I have no doubt that as long as a person's foot is put into the river, the whole person will be overturned in the water.

Weird.

The end of the hanging ladder seems to be just above the river?
Every time the worms go up and down, is it possible that they have to wade into the water?It is impossible for rafts or people to pass through such a fierce current. What is the purpose of Zong Nu's design?
Just as I was curious, the sound of a signal whistle came faintly from above, indicating the frequency of the inquiry, so I stopped and held the whistle to give a temporary safety signal, and then continued down.

When I went all the way to the end, I finally found out that there was a cave here. I thought the Zerg were going to wade through the water, but it was I who saw it. About ten meters above the river surface, there was a man-made cave.

The cave is not deep, I can see it from the rope. The depth of the cave is only about three meters. I turned a corner directly in it, followed the trend of the cliff, all the way up, it seems to be for wading, but A road carved out of the cliff.

Where does this road lead?

I didn't go in, I just followed the trend of the cliff and looked up, but the drop was too big, the water above was turbulent, and the waves splashed, blocking people's sight.

It seems that it is not far from the location of the insect slaves. I wonder how many insect slaves are still living in this place?Thinking about it, there shouldn't be too many, after all, in this age, it's hard to hide anything completely.

Because this is a canyon forest, it used to be a paradise for poachers. If the protection of wild animals had not been emphasized in recent years, it would be difficult for the ecology to recover. In such an environment, if the number of insect slaves grows, then they are Impossible to hide.

Immediately, I blew the signal whistle to signal the rest of the people to come down. After a while, everyone gathered in the cave, their heads bald, and their legs trembled. I haven't seen this kid so useless, could it be that he was so frightened by the high priest later, completely scared out of his wits?
The old man observed the cave, went inside again, and turned on the light along the corner. The straight flashlight shot out, and he could see the bryophytes growing in the cave due to the moisture, and the plants were densely covered with the whole cave. It turns out that this road is rarely traveled.

The old man said: "There are not many signs of moving around, which is in our favor, indicating that there should not be many Zong slaves left."

No. [-] said: "That's good. Those worm slaves have amazing physical abilities and are too fast. If there are too many of them, they will be really difficult to deal with." Judging from the situation, the number of insect slaves is not just as simple as a small number, I am afraid that there are already so few that they are about to run out.

The bald head said: "Could it be that this road has been abandoned, maybe it's because they took another route? I think we still have to prepare for the worst. After all, according to the information we have, the number of Zong slaves before There are still many, and the ancients did not have contraceptive measures, so there should only be more and more offspring, there is no special situation, the number should not suddenly decrease, or even end, right?"

The old man glanced at him, with admiration in his eyes, and said, "Your question is on point. I heard the high priest revealed some other questions about Zong Nu."

other questions?

The bald head and Daxun, the bald head and Daxun, all looked serious. To some extent, the insect mark is more like a Gu that can be passed down from generation to generation and is only controlled by the high priest. As long as you get close to the high priest, you can be manipulated by the high priest, just like Nineteen, and once controlled by the high priest in real time, the insect slave will be like a puppet whose soul has been taken away, and it will be difficult to return to its original state.

This is what we know about the origin and problems of Zongnu, and it was told by the old man.

But now, he actually said that there are other problems?

Is there anything worse than being turned into a puppet?

The three of us frowned, stared at the old man, and beckoned him to explain.

The old man didn't show off his tricks, and said: "Chongnuyin invades the human body, just like a latent virus. Although it is latent, it does not mean that it will have no effect on the human body before the onset of the disease. Fact In fact, it is more difficult for worm slaves to reproduce. This may be because the worm mark will affect fertility, and the combination of worm slaves and worm slaves will amplify this effect. The legend of men and women. The insect slaves capture normal men and women in their prime, which can slightly increase their fertility."

I immediately understood, and said: "As time goes by, the surrounding villages are gradually declining, and the population is migrating. The insect slaves have no source of normal partners and can only combine with the insect slaves, so the population is gradually decreasing?"

The old man said: "At present, the situation should be like this."

I felt quite strange, and said: "There is a question that I have never understood. I don't know if the high priest has mentioned it to you. The ancestors of these insect slaves here are the ones who stole the sky stone and the treasure map. That person also The worm slave, and the high priest was still alive at that time, why did it fail to control the worm slave? Why did it give the worm slave a chance to rebel? And... Before the worm slave is controlled by the high priest, it will not have the same relationship with normal people The difference is too big, these insect slaves can actually leave this place and live in the outside world, but why do they prefer to perish gradually instead of trying to live outside?"

The old man said: "The first question is also what I am curious about. I have asked the high priest, but he is not willing to answer me. As for the second question, it is up to us to find the truth. There must be a reason for the insect slaves who have stayed here and refused to leave, perhaps it has something to do with that treasure map."

Hearing this, the bald head hissed, and said, "Hey, tell me, what the hell is that treasure map? The high priest is already awesome enough, and the constant resurrection is almost equivalent to immortality, but It is still so obsessed with that 'treasure map', I simply can't imagine how attractive that treasure map must be to make it take the risk to come here."

After all, although the high priest is awesome, his situation is here. Now his body is an ordinary child's body, and it is probably because of his body that the power of the sky stone he can mobilize is limited. fainted.

In this case, the High Priest is strong if he says he is strong, or weak if he says he is weak. He personally followed us into this place, which is not without risk.

With the ability of the high priest and everything he has, what kind of temptation is it worth doing?
This is indeed unimaginable.
