Chapter 1137 Brain Core Cavity
Different from the version in mythology, Nidhogg actually went crazy while chewing the roots of the World Tree. After that, the black dragon turned into a monster that only knew destruction and killing. It was none other than a nerve line of the eldest son.
Its nest is located just above the node of a part of the eldest son's brain tissue. This unlucky guy chose to build his nest on top of a super powerful spiritual energy transmitter, which was doomed from the beginning to have a difficult end. Even if Nidhogg doesn't touch the vines and origin blood spreading from the ground, sooner or later he will go crazy listening to the murmur of his eldest son in his dream.
Hao Ren left Anthony and Yzaks' father and daughter waiting on the surface, and then led the others into the huge crypt under Nidhogg's body.
This was not the first time that he had been in close contact with the deep organs of his eldest son, so the discomfort caused by that weird and depressing environment was not as strong as before. He was able to calm down as he advanced in the crypt, and While observing the surroundings, he introduced Galadra to his research results on this super demigod creature.
"The large tentacles of the eldest son can sometimes reach several kilometers in width, but small tentacles such as nerve bundles may only be a few meters in diameter or even smaller. I estimate that this crypt leads directly to the brain tissue, so the ones here are basically nerves. Lines," Hao Ren pointed at the winding vines or tentacles growing on the walls of the cave, while paying attention to the road under his feet, "The eldest son's nerve conduction method is very strange and does not completely follow the laws of the universe. Part of his nerve conduction even At super-light speed, a nerve impulse can be sent to all tentacle ends instantly."
Galadra nodded slightly: "Because it is quite huge."
"Yes, it is quite huge. A mature eldest son can live in symbiosis with the planet. He can drill through the mantle and crust of the entire planet, and soak the core in the core to absorb nutrients. Such a huge body, if there is no super-light speed He can't even think because of the neural activity." Hao Ren shrugged, "But I still want to say one thing: the conventional eldest son does not have the ability to carry a huge mass object into hyperspace. Their mission is to maintain the ecology. System, Yggdrasil is a rather strange individual."
"Pay attention to your surroundings," Vivian warned aloud. She had already smelled the surging breath of the source blood, and she had a very dangerous feeling. "If you find any tentacles moving, please tell me immediately."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Nangong Wuyue exclaimed next to her: "Ah! It seemed like there was a tentacle around me that just retracted all of a sudden!"
The siren girl's exclamation immediately shocked everyone. Nangong Sanba immediately raised his crossbow: "Where is it..."
Nangong Wuyue's whole snake balled up, but it trembled for a few seconds and then suddenly let go: "Well, I seem to have made a mistake. That was my own tail just now..."
"You must have poured that sip of dish soap into your brain!" Hao Ren was immediately glared at by this cowardly sea snake, and slapped him on the tail, "I told you to be more careful, not to scare yourself!"
The interruption by the siren girl made the atmosphere in the team a bit tense. Walking in a closed crypt was frustrating enough, but this crypt was also filled with tentacle-like plant vines, which made it even more tense. Make the atmosphere extremely depressing, and finally there is a siren beside you who is always startled and will turn himself into an Orochimaru to scare people... To be honest, Hao Ren is the only one who has been scared so far. When I sing, I have the same voice as May.
But he was soon frightened a second time.
He found that the ground under his feet suddenly opened with countless cracks, and the entire cave collapsed instantly. The rock formations below seemed to suddenly disappear. Everyone followed and fell into the endless abyss. At the end of the abyss, there was a man emanating from the sky. The molten earth's core emits blazing light!
This sudden change made Hao Ren's brain freeze for a moment. He almost reflexively wanted to scream out, but at the moment when his body was out of balance, he felt a clear current suddenly surged into his spiritual world, and he was hazy. In his vision, he saw the smile of Raven 12345 flashing by. The goddess sister grinned at him, showing eight big white teeth, and raised her thumb: "I support you."
All the hallucinations disappeared, and Hao Ren felt a real touch in his hand. He suddenly woke up and found that he was holding Lily's tail tightly: this should be a conditioned reflex of the body's imbalance just now.
Lily, on the other hand, stared blankly ahead with her eyes wide open, her sight completely unfocused. Not only Lily was like this, but Nangong Sanba and Nangong Wuyue were also the same. Only Vivian turned her head slowly and looked here dimly: "Illusion."
A low roar suddenly sounded in the cave, and Galadra shouted two powerful words in dragon language: "Duva-Zada!"
The powerful Dragon Power swept everything with a crushing force. Lily and Nangong brother and sister woke up instantly. After Nangong Sanba woke up, he was still a little confused about the situation. He raised his crossbow and held his neck while shouting angrily in a certain direction: "You evil demons. Why don’t the heretics retreat quickly! I said surrender is surrender! I, Nangong Sanba, have always been upright and upright...ah, why are you all back?"
"It's an hallucination," Hao Ren said with lingering fear. "The eldest son may have mumbled something in his sleep just now... Fortunately, Galadra and I are also demigods and can withstand this mental shock. It should be fine now."
Lily tugged on Hao Ren's sleeve: "Landlord, landlord..."
Hao Ren glanced at the husky girl: "What?"
"I think the hallucination hasn't faded yet," Lily said carefully, with tears still in the corners of her eyes, "I don't know why, but my tail feels very painful!"
Hao Ren broke into a cold sweat on the spot and said, "...This is because you have a weak brain and hallucinations remain for a long time. It will definitely stop hurting after a while!"
"oh."
Although this hallucination intrusion did not cause any substantial damage, everyone was still more vigilant when they continued to move forward, and Hao Ren had a faint sense of danger in his heart.
He understands part of the eldest son's physiological characteristics - he knows that although the eldest son can use powerful spiritual power to interfere with the minds of mortals and drag ordinary people into its twisted dreams, the area around its brain core should be safe, because the eldest son has There are a plurality of brain nuclei, and these brain nuclei can only work in cooperation with each other. There is a precisely coordinated thought wave transmission between them. Due to the self-protection mechanism common to all living things, this vital and sophisticated thinking organ should be completely closed, not only physically, but also mentally.
In other words, under normal circumstances, the eldest son will never directly use his brain nuclei to carry out mental attacks on the outside world. This may interrupt the coordination between multiple brain nuclei. The main way for it to release mental power is from the large ganglion. The tentacles extending out are specialized mental wave releasing organs.
Hallucinations occurred near the brain core, and Hao Ren came up with a theory: some of Yggdrasil's organs seemed to be losing control.
His heart suddenly thumped: Is this the mechanism by which a normal eldest son (like Drom) transforms into a crazy eldest son (the Destroyer)? !
"This should be the cavity you mentioned," Galadra's voice interrupted Hao Ren's thinking. It turned out that the team had reached the end of the deep vine crypt. In front of it was a wide hemispherical cavity, "Ahead. The biological tissue looks like some kind of core, is it a brain nucleus?"
Hao Ren looked up and saw a sunken structure in the center of the wide hemispherical cavity. The sunken area was filled with slowly squirming red liquid, and in this pool of source blood, there was soaked a dozen meters high, Countless tentacles extend from the biological tissue that emits a faint red light, extending all the way into the stone walls surrounding the cavity.
This scene was very familiar to him. He had seen it in the big crypt of Horleta.
"What you see is not the brain nucleus itself, but a large node, but some of the large nodes are the containers of the brain nucleus, and that organ is hidden under the red-glowing connective skin."
As he spoke, Hao Ren walked forward and stopped half a meter away from the Pool of Origin Blood. He observed carefully and confirmed that there was indeed a brain core inside this large node: just inside this group of creatures At the base of the tissue, an irregular connective grid is flashing red light regularly. Under the red light, a vague spherical shadow can be seen, and the data terminal reads a powerful mental signal from there.
"Is this thing controlling the activities of Yggdrasil?" Galadra looked at the strange organ called the "brain core" curiously, "It's really wonderful..."
"This is one of the brain nuclei. The eldest son in the mature stage will have several to more than a dozen brain nuclei. These brain nuclei are connected together to form a complete brain, but each brain nucleus can also perform complete tasks independently. thinking activities.”
"Is this the source of corruption?" Nangong Sanba touched his chin, "Remove it surgically? Then other normal brain nuclei can take over the tentacles of the corrupt part, and Yugudora Hill should be able to wake up. "
There was nothing wrong with Nangong Sanba's analysis, but Hao Ren looked carefully and shook his head: "No, there's something wrong here - this is a healthy organ!"
