Chapter 454 The Stone Statue Project (5000-Word Chapter)

"Here, the prison you just entered is actually a trial site for cultivating stone-like creatures." Changyin said with a heavy voice, "You should have seen the experimental creatures in the underground warehouse, right? They are in the experimental stage, underground creatures that have not yet fully become stone creatures."

Xu Xin narrowed her eyes slightly.

Is that really the case?

The entire underground prison is, in fact, a breeding ground for petrified creatures.

"Grow stone creatures here?" Ji Zhaoyang frowned slightly, "The stone creatures we encountered before were all cultivated underground?"

Others, however, were less surprised because they had already heard the speculation.

They all turned to look at Xu Xin.

"You guessed it right, Brother Xin!" Wang Lei said with admiration.

"I didn't expect it to be so!" Wen Guixin sighed.

Instead, Ji Zhaoyang looked at them in surprise: "You guys...what did you encounter underground?"

"The following things are a bit complicated, and I will explain to you later."

Xu Xin continued to look at Chang Yin, and said, "So, what is the situation now, and what relationship do you have with this prison in the underground world?"

Chang Yin was a little hesitant, but he still said: "How should I put it, I... can be said to be a researcher in this underground prison. In fact, I provided the petrochemical technology. It can be said that you met someone near the teleportation array. Everything about the stone statues comes from me."

"What?!" Zhao Xiaochuan exclaimed.

"The technology you provided?!" Wang Lei was also a little unbelievable.

"... Those stone statues outside are all your handwriting?" Wen Guixin's eyes couldn't stop being shocked.

Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang also looked at each other, and both could see the surprise in each other's eyes.

In fact, the two had already had such speculations, but it was too shocking to say such things from their own mouths.

"Well... I can't say that I made it all, but..." Changyin touched his chin with his hand and made a sound of stones rubbing against each other. "In layman's terms, only I own the core technology. It can be said that These statues would not have been possible without me."

"So..." Xu Xin frowned slightly, and looked at him, "Are you the mastermind of this matter?"

"Of course not." Chang Yin made a sigh, of course, his stone body had no breath for him to sigh, "I was arrested here forcibly to conduct experiments for them. "

Then, he began to explain the current situation of the few of them, and what kind of place this place is.

Following his explanation, the faces of the people present gradually became serious.

The origin of the creatures in the underground world is basically exactly the same as what they deduced before.

These creatures, because the bloodline of the giant beast is stronger than the mutation of the bloodstripe, caused them to awaken their own consciousness, making it impossible for the "bloodstripe clan" to control them.

Therefore, they simply threw these huge guys into the ground.

This incident happened forty-eight years ago.

That is, before the first survivors appeared.

In this way, the prototype of the underground world was born.

This group of underground creatures has been a group of mutated creatures from the very beginning, and they are also mutated creatures that have the bloodline of giant beasts and have mutated blood patterns.

These two variations coexist and conflict with each other.

This also caused this group of creatures living underground to be particularly genetically unstable.

During the initial period of time, this group of creatures was undergoing individual mutations almost every day!

That's right, it's not group variation due to reproduction, but individual variation!

Not only the genes in the body are changing crazily, but even the body shape and traits are changing rapidly.

The same creature, the appearance of the day before and the day after, may be completely different!

And the whole underground world, at that time, was very chaotic.

Incomparably chaotic.

Every day, there is genocide, and every day, new species are born.

And in this process, the "Bloodstriped Clan" is still pouring new bloodstriped monsters into this underground world.

The underground world is undergoing earth-shaking changes every day.

This process lasted for ten years.

That's right, when the first survivors came to this world, the underground world was still a complete mess!

Of course, the entire underground world has finally stabilized after more than ten years, after the Bloodstripe Clan no longer put new Bloodstriped monsters into it.

In this way, after nearly fifty years of evolution, the underground world that they see now, which looks a little strange and has a relatively stable ecology, has emerged.

"This underground world is formed in this way? Doesn't the logic make sense for you to say that?"

Zhao Xiaochuan said with some doubts: "Just because they are disobedient, such an underground world was dug underground and put them in? This...is it too troublesome? It's nothing to look for!"

"That's right!" Wang Lei nodded and said, "This underground world is so deep, if you want to transfer the creatures down, you have to subdue them first, right? Then killing them is easy, right? If that's the case, why bother to go through so much effort? How about getting them down?"

"I don't kill them because they are still useful, right?" Lou Fei'er speculated, and then glanced at Xu Xin.

She has a deep understanding of this.

If she hadn't been useful back then, the grass on the grave would be three feet high now.

"You're right." Chang Yin nodded, "It's because they are unwilling to kill these creatures."

He went on to explain.

"At that time, these outsiders were surprised to find that if a creature with the bloodline of a giant beast had a bloodline mutation, its strength would far exceed that of an ordinary bloodline creature at the same level."

Xu Xin nodded.

really. Bloodline mutation can enhance the strength of a creature, but it is only based on the strength of the creature itself. If the creature itself is weak, no matter how advanced the blood streak mutation is, it won't be much stronger.

He knew this early on.

During the hunting activities, the combat power of the mid-level mutated wild cat he summoned through the altar was beaten by an ordinary tiger.

It can be said that the ability of the creature itself is the basic value, and the mutation of the blood pattern is to multiply the basic value.

And this multiple is related to the level of blood streak mutation.

A rabbit with a base value of 1, with a 100-fold boost, can't beat a tiger with a base value of 200.

But if the tiger's ability is increased by a hundred times...

That would be ridiculously strong!

Therefore, if the main body is a creature like a giant beast, and then the blood pattern is mutated to increase its strength, it is true that it is impossible to imagine its strength!

"So, if they can control the bloodline of the giant beast, then the strength of their clan will be greatly improved."

Chang Yin continued to explain.

If this kind of thing can really be realized, then this is their biggest gain on this planet.

However, they soon discovered that the blood of the giant beast not only increases the speed of biological strength, but also greatly improves the mental strength, which is an all-round increase in physical ability.

One of the reasons why they control the blood-striped creatures is that after the blood-striped creatures mutate, their mental power will be greatly reduced, which is easier to control.

However, the bloodline of giant beasts can increase their reduced mental strength again, which makes it difficult to control mutant creatures with strong bloodlines of giant beasts.

Even if successfully controlled at a young age, it easily slips out of their grasp as an adult.

However, the Bloodstripe Clan did not give up because of this.

After another period of cultivation, they discovered the biggest difference between the bloodline of the giant beast and the variation of the bloodline: heredity.

"The bloodline of giant beasts can be inherited through inheritance, but bloodline mutations cannot." Changyin pointed to Lou Feier who was sitting beside her and said, "For example, although she has a bloodline mutation, her offspring will not be affected at all. Any influence is still ordinary human beings."

"Oh?" Lou Fei'er was taken aback, "Is that so?"

"I've discovered this a long time ago." Xu Xin nodded and said, "The mutation of the blood pattern will not be inherited."

The simplest example is the three pangolins he tamed.

Aifei is a mutated creature, but those two little guys don't have a single bloodline mutation on their bodies.

Changyin nodded: "However, the bloodline of giant beasts can be inherited. This is good news for the bloodstriped clan who want to breed bloodstriped giant beasts. Therefore, this underground world plan was born."

"They created this new underground world, put giant beasts with rich blood into this underground world, and let them mutate and develop by themselves, which is what I said before."

It turns out that this is how the world was born...

but……

"How did you know about this?" Xu Xin looked at him and asked, "You didn't know about this when we met last time. Moreover, how does this relate to what you are doing now? ?”

Even though he asked this question, he probably already guessed the result.

Moreover, Chang Yin explained everything to them in such a detailed manner, it is very likely that they need their help.

"Of course it is related." Changyin answered Xu Xin's second question. He thought of something and smiled a little tiredly, "I just said that the Bloodstripe Clan put these creatures into this world for the sake of Control the blood-striped giant beast and enhance the ability of their family?"

"The blood-striped behemoth is like an extremely powerful genetic warrior. If it can be controlled, it will increase the strength of the entire race. Therefore, although this alien 'blood-striped family' must have invaded countless planets, but for our The world, our planet, they are very focused."

"Their original plan was to let these behemoths continue to mutate in this underground world, and while they introduced new species in the underground world, they would also capture some mutated species in the underground world for experiments."

"They want to see if giant beasts with strong bodies but weak spirits can be mutated in the underground world for them to enslave. Of course, at the same time, they are also experimenting with giant beasts in various ways. This underground world , is only part of the experiment."

After saying this, Chang Yin paused slightly, allowing the few people present to digest what he said.

The few people present, especially the few people except Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang, felt that they had received too much information, and they all looked shocked and puzzled.

Even Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang, who had been in contact with the underground world for a long time and had various speculations, fell into silence, their heads running rapidly, integrating all kinds of previous information.

"...So, the stone creature is also part of this plan." Xu Xin said.

"That's right." Chang Yin nodded.

"After decades of hard work, they found nothing, but they didn't want to give up such a powerful behemoth sample, so...they decided to find another way. They just focused on me, on...the stone creature .”

Chang Yin's words became slightly heavy.

"They actually discovered me a long time ago, and discovered that I have the ability to petrify living beings and still survive. Therefore, they deceived our family and lured our family into this underground place to complete their plan."

"Plan? What plan?" Wang Lei was at a loss and confused.

Because for him, who has never heard of the underground world before this event, the amount of information is really too large, and he hasn't digested it yet.

"If the blood-streaked mutated monsters cannot be controlled, then just let them petrify, and then control the petrified creatures, because the petrified creatures will also have greatly reduced mental power."

As Chang Yin said, he opened his hand, glanced at the palm of his hand, then clenched his fist, and looked up at Xu Xin: "You know why we were unconscious and unable to understand when you first met us? action?"

"...Need to regain mental strength?" Xu Xin guessed as she touched Ke Ke's little head, which was sleeping soundly on her lap.

"That's right." Changyin nodded, "If we don't fall into a long dormancy and stay awake all the time, our mental strength is very weak."

"Then are you now..." Xu Xin frowned slightly.

"My current mental strength is much weaker than before." Chang Yin said a little tiredly, "If this continues, maybe I will be completely controlled by them."

Is that really the case...

No wonder, no wonder he always made Xu Xin feel a little tired.

It turned out that the mental strength was much weaker.

"This is their plan around my ability."

Chang Yin looked at the people around him and said, "The underground prison you explored today is actually my... laboratory. I'm actually the warden there, but..."

He smiled wryly: "It's just that he has no real power. Even bringing you out of it will be done secretly."

"Then... you just helped them with the experiment?" Zhao Xiaochuan was a little surprised, "Did you not resist?"

"Resist? Huh..." There was a sound of rocks rubbing against Chang Yin's mouth, obviously clenching his teeth, "If it's just me, I don't care, but they imprisoned Xue Lan and Xiao Hong, and still Threatening me with the lives of two people, what else can I do?"

Several people around were silent.

Xu Xin thought for a while.

Chang Yin told him last time that he used to be a human being in this world, an aborigine of this world.

It was only later, after the first batch of survivors entered his dungeon, that he had some unhappiness with the first batch of survivors, and then he became what he is now.

As for the details, he did not say at the time. However, Xu Xin still remembers his extremely hateful expression at that time.

So... How did their family become stone statues?

Wasn't his petrification because of the Bloodstripe Clan?

On the contrary, his abilities were being spied on by the Bloodstripe Clan?

In other words, the petrification ability is a third kind of power besides the bloodline and bloodline mutation of giant beasts?

Where did it come from?

Also, the altar with the mutated creature stone statue in the hilly resource area...

Does it have anything to do with Changyin's stone statue ability?

Who is the god enshrined in the altar?

This situation seems a bit messy.

Xu Xin opened his mouth, and finally sighed: "Didn't expect you to be such an important role in the plan of the Bloodstripe Clan."

Chang Yin calmed down, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "It's not that important. Perhaps, this part of the plan I'm in charge of is just a small plan that doesn't matter, and a dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor. After all... At present, the pilot of this plan should be the only one here."

He pointed to the direction of the prison, and then smiled helplessly: "However, you guys are really lucky, you just happen to be in this position."

"The underground prison we experimented with was originally connected to the energy supply device above through vines to absorb energy. As a result, your activities on the ground suddenly changed the landscape, and the device was directly pushed above the ground."

He shook his head: "At that time, this prison could barely hold down the giant beast below."

"Wait, what happened to the layers of stone statues in the teleportation array?" Wen Guixin asked, "You seem to have said that you can control those stone statues at night, right?"

"Those stone statues on the top of the snow mountain are actually the first batch of experimental petrified creatures." Chang Yin explained.

"In the beginning, they didn't ask me to attack giant beasts, but to petrify ordinary creatures, low-level, mid-level, and high-level normal mutant creatures. They may want to see if the strength of petrified creatures has declined or improved. .”

"As for why the first batch of test items went to the ground, I don't know. They were taken away by a group of hairy blood-striped monkeys long after they petrified."

Changyin was obviously dissatisfied with the furry monster, and when he said the blood-striped monkey, his tone was obviously a little bit more serious.

But then, the corner of his stone mouth curved up: "However, they may not have thought that I secretly did some tricks on the stone statue."

Happy chapter!
