After I Transmigrated as a Mermaid, I Transmigrated Back

Chapter 98 Towards Destiny (5)Complement

Others might attribute all the effect of breaking the barrier to the golden fish scales, but Zhu Wei wanted more. He said to the last team member: "Wait a minute, let Zhao Xiaokui pull you out."

What is this, control variable test?

Zhao Xiaokui's heart was OS, but he did not hesitate in his actions, and he extended his hand to the players inside, following the order.

Without the golden fish scales, the team member who stayed in the barrier last walked out more cautiously than the first team member who was pulled out, but unexpectedly, he still managed to walk out.

"I'm out?" He said in a strange way.

Now everyone is outside, Zhao Xiaokui looks at Zhu Wei, "Anyway?"

Zhu Wei hesitated for a moment, not knowing where the cult members are a threat, and it is also a threat to block their barrier at any time. He thought about it, and finally felt that it is more important to solve the immediate matter first. If you can’t touch it Know the law of that invisible barrier. If you encounter a cult member, you will be trapped in this way if you can't say it.

"How did you find that we were missing?" Zhu Wei asked.

Zhao Xiaokui replied: "After we explored the opposite palace, we continued to explore two more, and found that you hadn't come out yet, and felt something was wrong, so we went back and looked at it."

Zhu Wei asked thoughtfully: "Are the three palaces you explored and the patterns of the structure the same as here?"

Zhao Xiaokui gave a positive answer.

"Since it's the same, it doesn't make sense that there is only a barrier here, but this barrier was only met by us, but you did not. Is there a certain relationship between this barrier and distance?"

Zhao Xiaokui said: "Otherwise I will go out first, and you will try again. Is the barrier still there?"

Zhu Wei nodded, "Yes."

So Zhao Xiaokui retreated outside the palace, leaving everyone else behind.

A team member stepped into the place where he was previously trapped under Zhu Wei's sign. After entering, he turned around and reached out to the air. Unsurprisingly, he touched a transparent wall of air. He raised his eyes, showing surprise. expression.

Zhao Xiaokui was quickly called back by the informant.

"The existence of this barrier does seem to be related to you. After you left the palace, the barrier reappeared." He looked at Zhao Xiaokui, who frowned and thought, looking at the surrounding environment, "Did you feel anything wrong?"

Zhao Xiaokui frowned.

"I feel very familiar, don't count. I always feel that this place is like I've been here." Of course, she feels familiar. The mermaid kingdom in the deep sea world is exactly the same as the structure and layout here. It's like the same construction company, "Could this be the reason?"

"Have you been to sea before?" Zhu Wei suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

"No." Zhao Xiaokui replied affirmatively, "Before today, I have never seen—"

While speaking, her eyes suddenly widened, obviously thinking of something.

Zhu Wei did not urge, Zhao Xiaokui frowned after thinking for a moment, "I have never seen the sea, but I was born in a small town hospital by the sea. My grandma said that the night I was born, although there was no wind, But there was a big wave in the sea."

"That's it. It seems that twenty years ago, this ruin or the ruins related to this ruin had a trace of opening."

Zhao Xiaokui had never heard of this meaning before, and wondered: "Why?"

"Have you heard of Transcendent Infestation?"

Of course Zhao Xiaokui knows the extraordinary infection.

Just like nuclear radiation, extraordinary energy itself is also a kind of high-energy radiation energy, which will cause certain damage and changes to the human body.

Some people who resist the past will become extraordinary, and some people will not resist the past, and their bodily functions will be as if they were infected by nuclear radiation, with strange mutations, rapid depletion of vitality and even death.

"You mean, I am not blocked by the ruins because I have been infested by the supernatural power of this ruin?"

"Yes, I don't know if you know one thing, that is, the offspring of the transcendent, it may not necessarily become the transcendent?"

Zhao Xiaokui nodded, indicating that he knew about it.

"This is a very strange thing. It stands to reason that after becoming a transcendent, our genes and even the level of life have changed. If we can give birth to offspring, the offspring should also inherit the awakened transcendent ability in us. , Why would you give birth to ordinary offspring?” Zhu Wei knew that although Zhao Xiaokui was not low-level, he did not have a long time to join Nightcrawler, and he did not understand much in-depth knowledge, so he broke it and explained to her, “This The problem has always plagued China and even the extraordinary people of the entire world. In the end, we came to a generally accepted conclusion that the extraordinary ability in our body does not actually come from heredity, but from infection."

"We don't have the possibility of becoming transcendents, or that the possibility is very low. It is the transcendent energy escaping from the ruins that infects our body, which makes us embark on the path of transcendents."

Zhao Xiaokui nodded thoughtfully.

What Zhu Wei said was indeed a statement she had never heard before.

Her thinking was limited by the deep-sea world, and indeed she hadn't thought about the issue he mentioned.

In the deep-sea world, the offspring of a mermaid must be a mermaid, and the offspring of an angel must be an angel. The more extraordinary humans, such as wizards and knights, the higher their level, the more difficult it is to give birth, but the same is true. The more talented the offspring of, the rarer parents with extremely talented parents give birth to the situation where they are unable to cultivate.

But in the human world, it is quite common for the descendants of the extraordinary to be unable to awaken extraordinary energy.

Even if you can awaken, the energy of awakening and parents are mostly not in the same direction.

This is simply an incredible thing.

In the middle, there must be a mutation in a certain gene. It is normal for a similar situation to appear once, just like albinism in animals, but it appears strange again and again.

Zhao Xiaokui suddenly realized, "That is to say, the extraordinary power in us is not inherited, but a mutation that occurs after being infected by an extraordinary power, and this genetic mutation is unstable and it is difficult to pass on to the next generation. ,is it?"

"Yes, the theory is that all of our awakened transcendents should have a connection with a certain ruin."

When Zhu Wei said these words, Zhao Xiaokui's spirituality suddenly felt a sense of inexplicability.

In the dark, it seemed that there was a hand that pushed her in this direction.

Guan Huimin is missing, the escaped cultist... even a little further, the evil god parasite who squeezed her body...

She didn't tell anyone how she felt. Instead, she glanced over the patterns over and over again, not missing the details of the corners and corners, and kept thinking about this relic, what did she want to tell her?

What is the meaning and function of her existence, her experience, and everything?

"Okay, continue searching. Next, we try not to separate, but keep a certain distance when searching. Not everyone can be trapped in the same place. Even if Zhao Xiaokui is there, we can't relax our vigilance. When entering the palace, at least two people will guard. Outside, you know?"

"Yes!"

...

Search all the way.

Next, they were more careful and vigilant, and they did not encounter any more accidents.

But again, nothing was discovered.

The discovery here refers not only to the relics themselves, but also to the traces of cultists.

Except for the occasional messy ground and slightly changing dust, which proved that someone did appear here not long ago, they did not see a single person, nor did they encounter any traces of life, those who fled into the ruins. The heretical cultists disappeared as weird, and they didn’t see people or dead bodies.

This is more frightening than being attacked as soon as you enter, or seeing a few corpses.

Where did the cultists go?

After searching the high priest’s palace, he still didn’t find anything useful and didn’t encounter any danger again. Zhao Xiaokui said, “Will they leave this place? Do you know how big the ruins are?”

"Probably not." Zhu Wei said, "Don't look at us after entering this ruin. It feels like the ocean is all around, as if it is boundless. In fact, the ruins have a fixed range. If we look around, we are likely to go. After a long distance, I came back to this place again. Of course, it’s not impossible that this ruin is wider than what we saw, but that’s not something our vanguard team can explore. We searched it and found it enough. , The next thing is to let people from the army come in for professional exploration."

After confirming the safety of the entire Mermaid City, the team members immediately relaxed.

The passage has been closed, and if you want to open it, you have to wait another day. Fortunately, they all brought food, so they don’t have to worry about hunger.

The team members who led the task took photos in groups of five to five, and collected various information. Zhao Xiaokui and Zhu Wei swam to the top of the entire Mermaid City, overlooking the entire King City, ready to support any sudden situation.

They were flying high, and not far from them, there was a tall mermaid statue.

Zhao Xiaokui looked around, but after not finding any major problems, he flew towards the mermaid statue with some curiosity.

The mermaid statue in the deep-sea world looks like a statue, but it is actually the body of a mermaid king after death. The existence of this body makes non-mermaid creatures who want to get close to the mermaid must obtain permission from the mermaid, otherwise they will directly Suffering from different levels of life stages, it can be regarded as the mermaid clan in addition to the two protective barriers inside and outside, the third layer of protection.

Just looking at the material, the mermaid statue in this ruin is exactly the same as the deep-sea world, but strangely, there is no deep-sea mermaid's corpse that once brought Zhao Xiaokui's huge sense of oppression. Zhu Wei and ordinary team members have been straightforward many times. Seeing even pointing at the statue, she did not suffer any harm, which made her unavoidably curious, what exactly is this statue made of?

Is it a crystal in the deep sea?

Such a big piece should be quite expensive, right?

Zhu Wei saw her swimming towards the mermaid statue, followed by swimming, looking at the huge statue and saying: "She is so beautiful, isn't she?"

"Huh?" After taking a closer look at the mermaid statue, Zhu Wei subconsciously glanced in Zhao Xiaokui's direction.

No one of them discovered just now that Zhao Xiaokui's ears are actually exactly the same as those of this statue.

Before he thought about this discovery, Zhao Xiaokui's hand had touched the translucent body of the mermaid statue.

then--

Passed through.
