Extraordinary Puppet Master

Angela nodded, she also knew all the contents of the [Moth Sloughing] ceremony.

When the ritual is activated, all life within the range will be affected by the chef's power and evolve. This evolution is completely random, and there is a certain chance of it deforming into evil things.

The arranger cannot avoid the corrosive influence of the chef's power. He must hold the scale charm to avoid it. It is equivalent to a proof of identity to prevent the ritual from corroding him.

"The underground waterway in the old factory area will become very lively in a while. 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.

Twenty meters below the temporary stronghold.

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

In the center is a strange big tree with winding roots, only six thick branches, and no leaves. The bark looks like moth wings and is covered with dense scales.

The big tree shook from time to time, the fluorescence emitted by the moth scales rippled slightly, and several Philosopher's Stones embedded in the trunk shone brightly.

This is the pupa tree of the [Moth Sloughing] ceremony.

Next to the pupa tree, a giant snake as thick as three buckets was taking a nap. The giant snake exuded a powerful aura, making people feel a sense of oppression from the upper reaches of the food chain.

Strangely, their skin is also covered with dense moth scales.

On the side were six brown moths that were magnified countless times and were over four meters in length. They were like industrious little bees, shuttling back and forth between a mountain of corpses and a chrysalis tree made of evil things.

One after another, the evil corpses were thrown towards the chrysalis tree. When the corpses fell to the ground, the tentacle-like roots penetrated directly into the corpses, continuously absorbing rich nutrients.

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

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

As time passed by, and several hours later until noon, all the evil substances 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 to avoid disturbing other people."

The reason why they went to such trouble to plant the pupa tree in the ground was because they were worried about making too much noise when starting.

[Moth Slough] is not as unknown as [Resuscitation]. Before the Ace family incident, almost no one knew about the [Resuscitation] ritual.

When [Moth Slough] is activated, the chef's pattern will be projected in the outside world, and a large number of extraordinary people will definitely recognize this ritual.

Although the fruits of evolution are not as safe as the power of new life, there are still many people who covet them.

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

Hannibal took a deep breath, suppressed the worry in his heart, and began to recite obscure ancient Tyrannic incantations.

Along with the chanting of the mantra, six spiritual moths pupated into six insect pupae at a speed visible to the naked eye, hanging on the branches and shaking gently.

The root system of the pupa tree begins to slowly shrink, and a large amount of essence nutrients are transported to the pupa.

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

The light point touches the underground cavity rock wall and merges directly into it, spreading rapidly in the earth.

Soon, Carlin's temporary stronghold was also filled with dots of light.

And they were just waiting for something quietly and did not dig down immediately.

At this time, the light spot accidentally touched the small insects hidden in the soil. In an instant, all the creatures that absorbed the light spot turned into insect chrysalis.

The chrysalis beats like a heart.

I saw a small earthworm's chrysalis split open and turned into a beetle with an earthworm's tail as its lower body, and its body also swelled to five centimeters in height.

But the next moment, the little beetle was about to be squeezed into a ball of meat paste by countless soil and sand. At this critical moment, driven by the survival instinct, the beetle pupated again.

In addition to this humble earthworm, countless lives buried deep underground have also evolved.

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

Countless beings evolved and suddenly adapted their forms and became unable to adapt to the underground environment. They were directly squeezed into a ball of meat paste by the terrifying formation pressure.

In addition to the soil, there are also rats that live in sewers and ants that have opened up ant nests. One life after another begins to evolve rapidly.

Scenes of the evolution of life are taking place underground where no one usually pays attention.

In this way, some of the life 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 of the life collapsed and transformed into evil things during the disordered evolution.

Countless creatures that absorbed the chef's power turned into chrysalis, beating and growing.

Karin also felt the movement around him and frowned, but still made no move.

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

Bright light suddenly pierced the foggy Steam City area, causing pedestrians on the street to stop and look up.

While walking on the streets of the East District upstream of the Ram River, Charlotte, who was thinking about something, also looked up at the sky, and her pupils suddenly shrank.

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

A chef wearing a high hat held a lit alcohol lamp in his left hand. The flame burned the crucible held in his right hand. A moth pupa was lying quietly in the crucible.

The light emitted by the alcohol lamp directly pierced the fog of the steam city, making everyone's visibility extremely clear.

After seeing this, Charlotte jumped up like a cat with explosive fur and ran towards the Secret Service headquarters.

"Chef? Chrysalis?

Someone arranged the [Moth Sloughing] ceremony in the Steam City! "

At the same time, there was a rat's nest in the sewers of the old factory area.

A large number of moth pupae exploded with a bang.

One after another, mutated mice the size of calves crawled out of the broken moth pupae, their eyes glowing dark red in the dark sewer.

"Squeak-squeak-squeak-"

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

A yellow-skinned mouse with electric arcs all over its body stood out among the rats, with a professional-level aura emerging from its body. It squeaked and roared at the other mutated rats.

In an instant, dozens of mutated rats scattered in all directions, quickly shuttled through the complex network of underground water pipes.

Elsewhere, a nest of ants the size of wolfdogs 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 has also become greater. These evolved social creatures need to find more food to satisfy their similarly evolved appetites.
