The last building on earth

This is a very huge hall, ten meters high, more than twenty meters wide, and thirty to forty meters long. The layout inside is very simple, not as good as the three-story building he had in Insect Town.

There is a stone table placed at the entrance, with a vase on the table containing some glowing flowers.

There is a huge round glass vessel placed in the center of the hall. This glass vessel is four to five meters high and about two meters in diameter. Most of it is filled with liquid that looks a bit muddy.

There was something soaking in the liquid at this moment. Wang Xuan took a look at it and his heart was slightly shocked.

The liquid that soaked the glassware looked like a half-human, half-octopus monster. It had half a human face, and the other half was an octopus face. It was covered with huge octopus tentacles. It looked indescribably weird and ugly.

Around this giant glass vessel, there are eight stone seats carved from blue stone. Five of the stone seats have people sitting on them. These people are all wrapped in black robes, and their faces are not exposed. Come.

Wang Xuan guessed that they should be wearing heavy armor under their black robes, so from the outside, these five people looked bloated.

Wang Xuan found it hard to believe that someone would like to sit on this hard and cold stone seat.

It was completely different from the meeting he had imagined. The strange scene in front of him made him feel inexplicably uneasy. Whether it was the half-human, half-octopus monster soaked in the glass vessel, or the five people sitting on the blue stone seat wrapped in The people in the black robes gave him a strong aura of danger.

In this world, the super-state power will no longer be suppressed. The aura of the super-state strongman is completely released, covering the hall, intertwining with each other, making the air here feel vaguely stalemate.

Qiang Ru Wang Xuan walked in and felt as if a big stone suddenly pressed on his heart, which seemed indescribably heavy.

"Elder, Wang Xuan is here." Xu Jian's voice sounded. He looked very respectful and bowed to the half-human, half-octopus monster placed in the central glass vessel.

"Wang Xuan..."

A vague voice came over, and Wang Xuan immediately discovered that the voice came from the glass vessel facing him.

Although this monster is soaked in water, it can still make intermittent sounds. This should be one of its special abilities.

Wang Xuan didn't expect that this half-human, half-octopus monster turned out to be the elder in Xu Jian's mouth? Judging from Xu Jian's reaction, this elder is obviously an important figure in "Xuan City".

"The elder's hatching beast has backlash. Now it can only be suppressed by soaking in this specially prepared potion."

Xu Jian seemed to know what Wang Xuan was thinking and was busy explaining.

Hearing Xu Jian's explanation, Wang Xuan let out a sigh of relief. He had always had doubts about the hatchling beast. He felt that the hatching beast's awakening consciousness was getting stronger and stronger, and it was very likely to backlash in the future. Looking at the elder in front of him, Apparently, his suspicion was true. When the hatchling beast grew and evolved to a certain level, it might turn into a half-human, half-monster like the elder.

"Are you scared by my appearance..." In the glass vessel, the body of the elder soaked in it floated slightly, and soon the half-human, half-octopus head emerged from the soaked potion, with a half-human face full of It's wrinkles. It's obvious that he is no longer young, and the other half of the octopus face is constantly shaking, looking a bit ferocious. Looking at his half human mouth, it opens and closes slightly, making an old sound. Wang Xuan's scalp is slightly hairy. Damn, I feel an indescribable weird feeling in my heart.

"No."

Wang Xuan forced out a smile and said, "Will the hatchling beasts grow back to bite us humans later on?"

He thought of Gu Manyao, Zhao Lei, Meng Lian, Cheng Aiguo and the others, and even Tang Ruoyu.

I have assimilated with the monsters, so I don’t need to worry about being backlashed by the monsters, but what about them?

"If you want to grow to perfection... you need to awaken the hatching beast. The awakened hatching beast is a huge hidden danger and may backfire at any time..."

The elder's voice was faintly hoarse. On the blue stone seats around the glass vessel, the five figures wrapped in black robes were all sitting there quietly.

"The stronger the strength...the more serious the backlash..."

When the elder said this, he suddenly said: "All five of you, let him see..."

The five people sitting on the blue stone seat suddenly stood up from the blue stone seat after hearing the elder's words. They tore off the black robes wrapped around their bodies and exposed their bodies underneath.

Wang Xuan was shocked when he saw them.

Of these five people, one of them had thick black hair all over his body and looked like a black ape. We could only barely tell from his facial features that he was still a human being.

One has two snow-white fangs growing out of his mouth, horns on his forehead, half of his body has turned into rock, and the other is a woman whose head and face are covered with strange sarcomas, and green juice is slowly seeping out of the sarcomas.

It can be said that although their physical changes are not as serious as those of the elders soaked in the potion, they all look like half humans and half monsters.

Only now did Wang Xuan understand why they had completely wrapped themselves in black robes. They had all suffered severe backlash from the hatchling beasts and turned into terrifying figures.

"Is it easy to get backlash after entering the super state?"

Wang Xuan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He thought that none of the powerful people he saw before had no backlash, but now that he entered the third level of the world, he saw this terrifying backlash.

"That's right... especially when one enters the super state, the stronger the person is, the stronger the hatching beast will be, and the easier it is for backlash to occur."

"When you were in the ultimate state, you were able to kill the three messengers of Rakshasa City in a row. Although in the second level world, the power of the super state will be suppressed, it is extremely rare that you can kill them. Now you have entered the super state. The super state must be stronger than the ordinary super state..."

"So, the possibility of backlash in you... will be far greater than that of the average person."

After hearing what the elder said, Wang Xuan already understood. It seemed that they were afraid of backlash.

"Is there no way to avoid this backlash?"

"There is no way. If you want to obtain the powerful power of the hatching beast, this is the price we need to pay. Of course, if your willpower is strong enough, it is possible to backfire the hatching beast, but this situation is very rare... most people It’s hard to fight a hatchling.”

"So, if we choose not to evolve...and not let the hatchlings grow further, can we avoid it?"

"As long as the hatching beast is hatched, if humans deliberately do not hunt monsters and prevent them from becoming powerful, its existence requires energy to maintain life. If it cannot absorb external energy, it will slowly It absorbs the energy of the host as nutrition, and eventually sucks the host into a mummy. Of course, it cannot escape death, and the final result is to die together."

Hearing what the elder said, Wang Xuan shuddered. This does not mean that as long as the hatching beast is hatched, the final result will either grow and be swallowed by the hatching beast with a high probability, or it will not grow and will eventually be sucked by the hatching beast. Use up all the nutrients in your body and die together with the hatchling beast.

"What the hell is this hatchling beast? How can it be so scary..." Wang Xuan murmured, thinking of the day when he was trapped in the underground parking lot and attacked by scale monsters. In order to survive, they could only kill these monsters. Then get white scales.

If they get enough scales, they will naturally hatch the hatchling beast. It can be said that if they want to survive, there is no other way except hatching the hatchling beast.

At this moment, a thought flashed through his mind. Could it be that the real purpose of the existence of this mysterious building was to cultivate hatching beasts? So what is the real role of humans like them? They are just used as parasitic mothers for hatching beasts?

This feeling made Wang Xuan feel very uncomfortable, like a piece of lead weighing on him.

"There must be a way... There must be a way to solve this problem..." Wang Xuan whispered softly, his hands slowly clenched into fists.

He would never tolerate Gu Manyao and Zhao Lei being eventually devoured by his own hatchlings and turned into monsters.

"It is said that somewhere in this third layer of the world, there is a plant growing, which can solve the hidden danger of being bitten by the hatchling beast. Unfortunately, no one knows the specific location of this plant. I have tried my best to find out. Can’t get it.”

The elder who was soaked in the potion suddenly sighed, his tone full of helplessness.

Wang Xuan was refreshed and immediately raised his head and said, "Is there a plant in this world that can solve this hidden danger?"

The elder nodded slightly and said: "I also accidentally found a notebook that was lost by someone in a corner of Xuancheng. There are records about this in it. You should have seen it when you entered here. Are the plants too lush and exaggerated? Even this mysterious city is almost completely covered."

Wang Xuan nodded and said: "Yes, this third level world is simply a primitive forest."

"According to the notes, this world was once barren. Later, a sapling was left here, and it evolved into a world of primitive forests. In the notes, this sapling was called the Tree of Source. , is the origin of all flowers, trees, and other plants. Where this sapling was left to take root, there is a plant growing. Of course, no one knows what this plant is like. They only know that it is the essence of this sapling. As a result, this plant bears a kind of fruit. As long as a human eats this fruit, it can erase the soul consciousness of the hatching beast in the body and turn it into pure soul energy, which can be absorbed by the human soul. This human will interact with the hatching beast. When the beast is truly assimilated, it not only possesses all the power of the hatched beast, but also no longer has to worry about being counterattacked by the hatched beast."

When Wang Xuan heard this, his heart moved. His current state was exactly what the elder said. He and the monster had assimilated and were indistinguishable from each other.

I never thought that there would be such a magical fruit in this world. After eating it, humans and their hatched beasts can achieve the effect of assimilation.

"Of course, this is just what is recorded in the notes. Whether it is true or not, I don't know..."

There was endless regret in the elder's tone.

Wang Xuan couldn't help but said: "Since the origin of this fruit is described in detail in this note, doesn't it say a word about its whereabouts?"

"I mentioned it. It was mentioned above that this kind of plant may exist at the source of this world, but it doesn't make much difference whether it is mentioned or not..."

The elder shook his head as he spoke, apparently thinking that although this sentence mentioned the whereabouts of the plant, it actually didn't mean much.

"The source of existence in this world..." Wang Xuan whispered softly. This third-level world seems vast and boundless, and all that can be seen are towering trees. So, where is its source?

Xu Jian said: "We once suspected that the so-called source of the world might be the place with the most lush trees in the world. Based on this method, we were able to determine the approximate location, but we were unable to enter."

"Why?" Wang Xuan looked at him.

Xu Jian said: "Because the more lush the trees are, the more likely it is that there is huge danger hidden. Even a super strong person will find it difficult to penetrate deep. Wang Xuan, you didn't know until you came here that the dangers in this world are far greater than you imagine." Relatively speaking, the area we are currently in is much less dangerous because it is close to the safe area around the elevator, so all cities including Xuancheng are in this place."

Wang Xuan made a sound, but kept the plant and fruit in his heart, and thought for a while before saying: "Elder, I want to ask, if the elevator going up has been damaged, does it mean that we will never be able to enter higher floors? ?Will we never be able to get out?"

All along, he has been thinking deep down in his heart that one day, he must find a way to leave this building. He even suspected that it would be possible to leave when he climbed to the highest floor, but now the elevator is inaccessible. On a higher floor, the way up was cut off, which almost ended his hope.

"Want to leave this building? You need a King's Certificate. As for this King's Certificate, it is said that there is one on each floor, so whether you can leave is not directly related to whether you can enter a higher floor."

Hearing what the elder said, Wang Xuan's eyes shone brightly and he said, "Is there one for each level of this king's certificate?"

His mind immediately flashed to the North District on the first floor that day, wanting to enter it and automatically trigger the hidden mission, The Legend of the King.

Could it be said that it is really related to the king's certificate?

With my current strength, I should be able to give it a try.

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly became hot.

No matter how powerful he became, he never gave up the idea of ​​going home.

"I heard that this is the case, but I have never seen anyone get it or leave it... Of course, maybe I am just ignorant..."

The elder who was soaked in the potion seemed to have become tired when he said this, and his voice became deeper, and he said: "Wang Xuan, I want to see you because Xu Jian said a lot about you, and also mentioned the insect town. The special nature of the insect wave... He doesn't understand, but I have a feeling that the specialness of this insect wave may be directed at you, especially since you broke through to the super state in the insect wave, which further confirms my conjecture... …”

"I have great expectations for you. Xu Jian has been the leader of the Xuan Gang for so long, but he has never been able to gain momentum. I now hope that you can succeed him and serve as the leader of the Xuan Gang."

There was a trace of hesitation on Wang Xuan's face. He looked at the half-human, half-octopus elder in the glass vessel in front of him, then at Xu Jian, and the five people who had once again covered their faces with black robes.

He felt a terrifying aura on these five people, and understood that although they were back-bitten by the hatching beast, they could still maintain this state. Each of them must be extremely powerful. Maybe the elder and these five people in front of him are... The real power of this Xuancheng.

"Did you break through the super state and want to become stronger, but feel that Chong Town can no longer satisfy you? So you are not willing to be the leader of this mysterious gang?"

There was a glimmer of wisdom in the elder's remaining human eye, as if he could see through all Wang Xuan's thoughts.

The look on Wang Xuan's face became a little embarrassed. After he became a super state, he continued to stay in Insect Town. It was almost difficult to find a suitable monster for him. In this third-level world, although they said it was dangerous everywhere, they were... According to his wishes, he now needs more powerful monsters to temper himself.

"I just told you about the hatching beast's backlash, because the more powerful the person, the easier it is to be backlashed by the hatching beast. Wang Xuan, once you show signs of being backlashed, you must come to me immediately, because according to the With your previous performance, you either don't have a backlash. Once there is a backlash, it will be extremely dangerous. Your hatching beast has grown too fast and its foundation is unstable. This will be a huge hidden danger in the future. Letting you serve as the leader of the Xuan Gang is the hope. You can slow down and have more time to stabilize your foundation. Moreover, as the leader of the Xuan Gang, there is another biggest advantage, that is, you are relatively free and can enter and exit all levels freely, because after reaching the super state, there are no special circumstances and it is generally strictly prohibited. Entering other floors, violators will be severely punished, which can also be regarded as a protection for newcomers on the lower floors."

Hearing what the elder said, Wang Xuan's heart moved. This was a temptation for him.

After all, even though he had reached the super state, he still cared about everyone in Insect Town, especially the mission of the Legend of the King on the first floor, which was suspected to be related to the Proof of the King, so he wanted to give it a try.

"And becoming the leader of the Xuan Gang will not affect your coming to this third world."

After hearing this, Wang Xuan finally nodded and agreed, deciding to succeed Xu Jian as the leader of the Xuan Gang.

As for the fact that he had assimilated with the World of Warcraft and did not need to worry about backlash, he did not say it. He only selectively believed the words of the elders, Xu Jian and others in front of him, but did not fully believe them.

Because he has assimilated with the Warcraft, he has acquired a special instinct of the Warcraft. Although he still can't figure out the reason, but for some reason, the Warcraft instinct he possesses makes him wary of the people in front of him. It seems that they You can't completely believe what you say.

This vague instinctive feeling gave Wang Xuan an indescribable strange feeling in his heart, but for the time being he couldn't see where the flaw was.

"Why exactly? It seems that the instinct of Warcraft is telling me... I cannot fully believe what these people say, and I should beware of them."

Wang Xuan looked at the elder soaked in the glass vessel, and then at the five people sitting on the bluestone seat. In a daze, a strange idea suddenly occurred to him.

If the Hatchling Beast has devoured them, gained their memories, and then disguised itself as humans, then how can others know whether they are humans or whether they have become monsters possessed by the Hatchling Beast?
