Barrier of Light

In front of him was a huge black queen bird-wing butterfly that almost filled the hanging cave of the underground palace.

Queen Butterfly!

And the number of compound eyes in the millions means that...she is the real owner of this underground area. The "light-hating" and "deep diving" attributes of this entire group should have been inherited from the Queen Butterfly. !

"Rumble--"

Even though Gu Shen had a "Pure Land", he almost lost his spirit under this sudden and violent attack!

In the Pure Land Divine Realm.

Li Qingci, Tie Wu and others looked solemn.

This is the place directly next to Gu Shen's spiritual sea... If Gu Shen's spirit appears abnormal, the Pure Land will be affected immediately. The previous time the divine thoughts from the Storm God Seat poured in like a sea, and the Pure Land was almost submerged!

But fortunately, the pure land world only trembles for a moment——

With his strong ability to wake up mentally, Gu Shen quickly realized that he had been tricked.

He bit the tip of his tongue, seizing the moment of clarity.

He took out the jade ring, put on the ghost veil, and then pulled out the iron knife. Under this terrifying and fierce attack, he was even about to pull out the "foot of truth" soaked in the miraculous silver...

But Bai Xiu is still here, and the ruler will not be used if it can be used.

Gu Shen threw out all his tools except the ruler and slashed with a knife!

"boom!!!"

This sword exploded in the cave!

The nearly 100-meter-long sword energy, wrapped in the "Great Cold", slashed through the cave, penetrating the stone pillars of the cave, penetrating butterfly eggs, and penetrating the densely packed millions of birds glaring at Gu Shen. Compound eyes...

next moment.

The world will be pure.

Gu Shen's eyes were scarlet, and he had not yet recovered from the mental shock just now. The cave world was silent for dozens of seconds. He retracted his fingers, took off his veil, then hammered the knife with both hands, and exhaled turbid air with a gloomy expression...

In front of him was a mountain of corpses split into two.

"...The target is dead." Chu Ling said.

died.

Just die?

Gu Shen frowned, feeling that something was wrong... The moment the Butterfly Queen appeared, his spirit tensed instantly. This terrifying extraordinary creature brought unprecedented pressure to him.

But he never expected... Queen Butterfly was cut open with just one strike.

Not far away, thunder was loud and crackling.

It was obviously the movement just now that attracted Baixiu's attention. Xiaoxiu flew to the end of the cave at lightning speed, and then saw this scene. He first looked at the female butterfly that was much larger than the king of butterflies in surprise.

Those millions of compound eyes... even Baixiu felt the pressure.

He came in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, Gu Shen was safe and sound. He was already running as fast as he could, but when he came over, he only had time to see such a corpse.

Then he glanced at Gu Shen with a complicated expression.

"Did you chop him to death?"

"Hmm... that should be it..."

Gu Shen smiled bitterly, "There must be something wrong with this guy, otherwise he wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow."

On body shape.

She is much bigger than the male butterfly king... The entire underground butterfly cave is reproduced by her. With such a huge body, even if the physical combat power is limited, she should at least be able to withstand beatings.

"You only cut once?"

Bai Xiu narrowed his eyes and suddenly said: "It has more than one injury on its body."

Gu Shen calmed down and recovered from the mental attack just now.

"one two three four……"

He noticed it too.

The Queen Butterfly, who was cut into two by herself, had numerous lacerations on her body and was still bleeding. These were not made by herself. There was only one blade that contained the "Pure Land" killing intent, but if you look closely, you will find that, In fact, this knife cannot be regarded as a real "fatal injury".

Because there are countless injuries on Queen Butterfly's body, they are as numerous as her compound eyes.

"..."

This scene made both Gu Shen and Bai Xiu fall into silence.

They knew exactly what the discovery meant.

The size of Queen Butterfly is not the top "existence" in the Sangzhou Cave ecosystem.

"Is this caused by other supernatural beings?"

Gu Shen's voice was hoarse, "So the Queen's Birdwing Butterflies came to the outer edge of Area F because they were forced... They failed in the struggle inland of Sangzhou Cave, and the weak ones had no choice but to migrate..."

"I don't know what creature caused these dense wounds."

Bai Xiu said: "If your inference is true, then if you push inward on the north bank of Sangzhou Cave, there is a high probability that there will be creatures more terrifying than the 'Queen's Birdwing Butterfly'."

Gu Shen thought of another possibility: "Maybe it's not in the sky because a more threatening extraordinary species was born in the sky."

"It is said that there are close to one hundred thousand 'natives' living inside Sangzhou Cave. During this extraordinary awakening experiment, the Church of Storms released all authority and even allowed [Deep Sea] to spiritually link the entire island."

Baixiu said coldly: "However, judging from the evolutionary results of these things, how terrible must it be to eliminate the 'Queen's Birdwing Butterfly'? They won't swallow up the entire island, right?"

"probably not."

Gu Shen shook his head: "Every year [Deep Sea] submits an announcement to the Five Continents Council. The latest report mentions that the mortality rate of the aboriginal people in Sangzhou Cave is less than one in ten thousand... Aboriginal people like Vyas regularly Will return to the cave, I can only say that the 'Queen's Birdwing Butterfly' is hiding very well, underground creatures, trying their best to reproduce. If it weren't for this 'accident', they would still be able to stay dormant for a long time."

After mutation.

The Queen's Birdwing Butterfly feeds mainly on "essence".

This is also the fundamental logic behind the Awakening Act proposed by [Deep Sea]... If more and more creatures gain extraordinary power, then there will be fewer and fewer disordered sources floating in the void.

As the free source material decreases, the number of inland black spots will naturally decrease.

In the long run, the crisis of order collapse can be greatly delayed.

only.

[Deep Sea] Is the decision made really correct?

These things devour the "source essence" to grow... When they reach a certain scale, won't they become another kind of disaster?

Perhaps compared with the catastrophe of human annihilation, these things are not so terrible. No matter how much this so-called "Queen's Birdwing Butterfly" grows, there is an upper limit. The male butterfly can grow up to sixty meters, which is probably the limit.

As for female butterflies, there must be limits.

If it were a butterfly swarm of this level before us... a top level four person, leading the team alone, would be able to kill it.

But what if it was higher?

"The idea of ​​the main system may be to transfer the 'danger' that cannot be eliminated by non-gods." Chu Ling said calmly: "The threat of extraordinary beings can be resolved by extraordinary beings. But the crisis of the 'black spot' , basically only the apostles can understand it.”

"Only by going deep into Sangzhou Cave can we investigate the real reason for the migration of the 'Queen's Birdwing Butterfly' group."

Gu Shen looked at the Queen Butterfly in front of him and said calmly: "Now... the mission is basically completed, let's return to the ground."

Fire and lightning have burned down the cave.

The queen's birdwing butterfly's nest here was completely destroyed.

Both of them obtained a certain amount of sefirah.

There is no point in staying any longer.

…

…

"Sorry, it will take ten days for the test results of the group samples. If you want to know the specific information of the 'Butterfly Swarm' and its extraordinary characteristics, you must wait patiently..."

"Also, Mr. Gu, with all due respect, you really shouldn't kill the 'Butterfly Queen' when the situation can be controlled. This may be of great help to the experiment..."

"What? You brought an eye..."

On the outer wall, Adam's expression changed several times.

When he learned that Gu Shen and Bai Xiu had burned down the Queen's Bird Wing Die Underground Palace, he felt huge regret on his face.

This underground palace must contain a lot of information!

It’s just that Adam doesn’t know…

Gu Shen and Bai Xiu both collected butterfly egg essence underground alone, so the underground palace must be burned. Even if Gu Shen didn't burn it, Bai Xiu would burn it.

After the corpses were destroyed and no traces were left, even if the extraordinary people from the Holy City Research Institute dived in to investigate, they would not be able to find any traces.

Fortunately...

Before Gu Shen left, he cut off the compound eyes of the "Butterfly Queen".

Before he left, he used the Pure Land to freeze part of the Queen Butterfly's body, and used his authority to throw it into the Pure Land realm... This compound eye was just a part of the body.

The local palace was destroyed.

Every part of Queen Butterfly's body is cherished.

If there is only one eye left...then this eye is the most precious!

The compound eye, which was about the size of an apple, was frozen into a lump of ice, suspended in Gu Shen's palm.

It can be seen that Adam is a researcher who is obsessed with experiments.

"It's really a compound eye... Oh my God! That's great!" After hearing the news, he immediately smiled and subconsciously wanted to take the "Queen of Butterfly's Compound Eyes" from Gu Shen.

However, Gu Shen smiled and took a step back.

"Sorry, Mr. Adam..."

He said calmly: "This is my 'trophy'."

Adam was startled.

He asked anxiously: "Do the extraordinary people of Dongzhou need this compound eye for research, but you didn't even send a research team... Even if you send it back to Dongzhou and wait for the results, it won't be done as fast as here, so why not leave it to me. "

Gu Shen just looked at him with a smile.

Shen Li elbowed the idiot and reminded him faintly: "How can there be a free lunch in the world?"

"Yes... I didn't think it through. Mr. Gu, what do you want?" Adam said sincerely: "Set a condition, and I will be satisfied if it can be met."

Ten minutes later.

Adam got what he wanted...the "only remaining" compound eye after the death of the Queen Butterfly.

Gu Shen and his party successfully arrived at the secret interior of the Holy City Research Institute. Top extraordinary scholars from three continents gathered here to conduct research on the "Awakening Act". A large number of data samples are analyzed here every day. .

"In the interior of Sangzhou Cave, the extraordinary link has been fully completed..."

"A total of 97,831 people, the link success rate is 99.5%..."

Gu Shen, Bai Xiu, and Shen Li looked at the information from the Holy City Research Institute and looked at each other, and they all realized something was wrong.

These data seem to be different from the public notice board uploaded to the Five Continents Council by [Deep Sea].

"Adam, the link success rate announced by [Deep Sea] is 99.9%."

Gu Shen said calmly: "Why is it 99.5% here?"

"99.9%...is the algorithm of [Deep Sea]..."

Adam is defrosting his compound eye.

He glanced at Gu Shen and said: "Under the Lion Awakening Technology, the awakening of a transcendent only takes a few minutes, and the longest is no more than an hour... But the stimulation of the [Deep Sea] to the Sangzhou Cave experimenters, Sometimes it lasts for days, dozens of days.”

"...?"

"Transcendental awakening is a matter of probability. Not everyone can 'Lion Awakening'." His tone was calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter: "If you fail, just try it again... Under this kind of stimulation , the experimenter will be in a critical state of repeatedly gaining and losing abilities, so is he an awakened person or a non-awakened person?"

"However, according to the data from the Holy City Research Institute, among two hundred people, there is only one 'lucky person', or it is more appropriate to say 'unlucky person', and the probability of five thousandths will be at the 'critical value'." Adam said lightly: " Of course, when you add up, the total number is close to 100,000, and there are 500 such people. For these people, [Deep Sea] will continue to provide stimulation. Therefore, we have 99.9% data, and we do not think this is effective. Awakening data, so in Shangcheng’s report, the link success rate is 99.5%.”

"So... what about the remaining one thousandth?"

Shen Li spoke blankly.

Adam looked at Shen Li as if he were a fool, and he slowly said: "I don't know. You can guess."

"died?"

Shen Li was stunned for two seconds and looked at Gu Shen.

The latter's eyes gave him the answer.

The answer is very simple and has already been revealed——

Dead, of course.

Being forced to awaken and repeatedly stimulated, if evolution fails, how can the spirit still remain? Gu Shen saw a whole boatload of corpses in Rhine City. Those people were the product of repeated stimulation from the [Deep Sea]!

The soul is broken and only the body remains.

For the human race, a mortality rate of one per thousand is actually quite acceptable.

only……

Is this data real?

Gu Shen has not seen the situation inside Sangzhou Cave with his own eyes.

As for the report given by [Deep Sea], he didn't believe it at all.

After the first "upgrade", the main system began to take charge of all affairs of the Five Continents... It has obviously given birth to its own "consciousness". At least it knows how to use the rules to reassure the Five Continents Council that the numbers in this report , the difference is four thousandths, but the real [Deep Sea] shouldn't even have an error of one millionth.

It knows everything!

I also know that this report... is for the top executives of Wuzhou!

"Mr. Adam, actually putting aside these data, what interests me is... the words you just used."

Gu Shen looked at the man in front of him.

"You just said 'The Lion Wakes'."

Lion Awakening is Dongzhou's technology, and this bill first came from Lu Cheng's research.

Lao Lu is dead.

The lion awakening technology was taken away by Qin Ye.

After arriving at the Tower of Source, this technology was restarted, but after so many years of secret research... its name was no longer called Lion Awakening. Central Continent scholars simply called it "Transcendent Awakening Technology".

It's really weird for a Middle-earth person to call "Lion Awakening".

"Oh? Is there anything wrong with shouting 'Lion Awakens'?"

Adam said: "This was originally developed by Dongzhou. The original name was 'Lion Awakening'... It's a pity that after 80% of the research, the creator died, so there was a dog-tailed mink from Zhongzhou Academy."

The entire laboratory is filled with extraordinary scholars from Zhongzhou College.

As soon as these words came out.

The atmosphere in the entire laboratory was very strange... but everyone was used to Adam's behavior. After a slight look of embarrassment appeared on their faces, nothing happened.

"My knowledge of 'Lion Awakening Technology' is limited, so I can't be of much help."

Adam smiled regretfully and said: "But what I know clearly is that if the original genius creator was still alive, the link success rate of extraordinary awakening would increase, and there should be no so-called five thousandths left. Maybe Not even one in a thousand.”

"Everyone can be awakened by [Deep Sea] smoothly!"
