Chapter 222 Dragon?
Yin Shan stayed at the base for a week. After arranging everything, he took Guan Yunhua and A Cang on their journey to Kunlun Mountain.
I thought Kunlun Mountain was still as mysterious and majestic as it was before the apocalypse. But when the mother and daughter arrived, looking at the icy snow before them, with no trace of mountainous land, Yin Shan couldn't help but ask, "A Cang, are you lost?"
Ah Cang shook his head: "No, I'm sure it's here, but..."
Yin Shan closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, and suddenly, a huge head entered Yin Shan's perception. The head seemed to sense something, and the sudden roar made Yin Shan's eyes go black.
Guan Yunhua also heard the roar and said in disbelief: "This is not an ordinary roar, why is it a bit..."
Yin Shan covered his head and said seriously, "It sounds a bit like a dragon's roar, but...are there really dragons?"
As the dragon roared, the ground began to tremble under their feet, and a huge crack appeared before their eyes. A Cang immediately took the mother and daughter and ran back to avoid being dragged into the abyss.
But everything seemed too late, and the two men and the wolf still fell into the crack.
When the wind and snow subsided, the ground returned to normal, but Yin Shan and the other two disappeared on the spot.
The severe pain continued to stimulate the nerves of Yin Shan and Guan Yunhua. They were fully aware of what was happening in the outside world, but they could not wake up or even enter the space through their consciousness. Ah Cang licked anxiously, trying to wake them up.
"Are you the little wolf?"
The deep voice, as if it had gone through many vicissitudes of life, echoed in A Cang's ears.
Ah Cang nodded subconsciously, but did not stop trying to wake the two of them up.
The deep voice seemed to chuckle: "Tell me, why did you bring them here?"
Ah Cang came back to his senses: "It's you?"
"It's me, Little Wolf, long time no see."
Ah Cang said excitedly: "Can you save my master and grandma?"
"It seems something is missing. Think carefully and tell me why you brought them here. Otherwise, I won't wake them up."
A Cang calmed down, staring at the darkness in front of him with his wolf eyes, and wandered around Yin Shan and the others.
The voice seemed very patient, waiting for Ah Cang to recall, but there was no intention of reminding him at all.
As time passed, Ah Cang finally seemed to recall: "They are the only force that can contend with Taotie..."
"Little guy, how do you know they are the ones you are looking for?"
Ah Cang said: "I don't know, but I'm sure it's them!"
The old voice seemed to laugh, and then Yin Shan and her daughter woke up.
Yin Shan first glanced at his mother and found that she was fine. Then he looked at A Cang and said, "A Cang, you are not hurt, are you?"
Ah Cang shook his head, rubbed Yin Shan's head, and said, "Master, this is it. This is where Ah Cang gained power."
After hearing this, Yin Shan didn't feel relieved. Instead, his expression grew serious. "If I'm not mistaken, that huge dragon head is you, right?"
The dragon head smiled and said, "It seems that Ah Cang made the right choice. Since you fell into the abyss, you have been conscious and clear-headed. You were able to guess that I was the dragon head you sensed before. Not bad, not bad, child, do you want to sit down and listen to the old dragon tell a story?"
Yin Shan said, "Let me guess. It seems that you are the creator of Zero Dimension. Or, is it related to Kunlun Mountain?"
The leader said: "It is indeed related to Kunlun Mountain. Zero Dimension and Kunlun Mountain were originally one.
Kunlun Mountain seems to be lifeless, but in fact, it can be called the spirit of all things. It protects this land, but not over-protects it.
Because it needs to expend its strength to suppress Taotie."
Yin Shan was puzzled. "Taotie? Are you talking about that unknown creature? The one without blood, seemingly lifeless?"
The dragon head was relieved: "Yes, you should have met each other before. Taotie has a strong reproductive capacity and cannot be tamed."
Yin Shan interrupted, "Wait, you said it can't be tamed? But I hatched a Taotie in my base, and it seems to regard Su Xin as its mother."
The dragon head said seriously, "Girl, before the Taotie is one year old, you can raise it as a pet or study it, but after the Taotie is one year old, the genetic bloodline in its bones will make it eat its mother or siblings to gain strength.
Therefore, you cannot have any hesitation. This is the nature of Taotie. Your friends will be in danger.
Taotie's weakness lies in its abdomen, but they can absorb natural energy to attack or defend, so your normal abilities have no effect on them.
The only ones who can restrain Taotie are those who have reached level 100 or are plant-type. Of course, you can also kill Taotie through other means, but it is very difficult, which I believe you have already experienced.
Kunlun Mountain has been suppressing the Taotie for thousands of years and not allowing them to enter the human world.
But in the end, the end of the world came, and the land became one again, escaping the suppression of Kunlun Mountain.
Girl, if you want to completely end the apocalypse, you must destroy the Taotie."
Yin Shan frowned and said, "Only eliminate the Taotie? Do you know that now we have to face not only the Taotie, but also artificially created mutants.
I can’t do it in a short period of time. Even defending the base and ensuring the survival of the troops is beyond my ability.”
The dragon head explained, "The Taotie have an extremely high reproductive capacity. If you can't eliminate them immediately, the situation you will face in the future will be even more difficult."
Yin Shan smiled and said, "Since Ah Cang brought us here, mother and daughter, then I think you must have a way to solve my predicament, right?"
The dragon head laughed and said, "That's true, but once I do this, you won't be facing the same number of Taotie as you have now, girl, you have to think carefully.
Do you want full ownership of Zero Degree Dimension, or do you want to use your existing strength, relying on the suppression of Kunlun Mountain, to eliminate the Taotie?"
Yin Shan frowned: "What's the difference?"
"The Zero Degree Space system mall has been remodeled based on your modern lifestyle. You can only exchange points for the items you need.
With full ownership, you have the option to create whatever you think is beneficial.
You gain points through so-called tasks, which actually accumulates power for Zero Degree Space, and it will then give you feedback.
You who possess plant-related abilities should understand this better than I do, right?"
Yin Shan nodded and said, "But since Zero Dimension chose me and gave me all kinds of superpowers, can this be understood as meaning that the possession of superpowers can be controlled through human intervention?"
The dragon head smiled bitterly. "So you haven't realized yet? This isn't human intervention, it's the intervention of Heaven. Your biggest trump card is that you have two lives."
Your superpowers were bestowed by Heaven. It's just that Zero Degree Space has prematurely stimulated your superpowers. This is a collaboration between Kunlun Mountain and Heaven. If the continent loses its vitality, the power of Heaven will weaken and gradually disappear.
Tiandao made the wrong choice the first time. Su Xin, who was also experiencing pain, lacked what Tiandao needed, so Tiandao took back her power.
Instead, I chose you, but this situation of choosing the wrong person almost exhausted the power of Heaven.
If you fail, I don't need to explain the consequences, right?"
Yin Shan's eyes darkened. "So, you're saying I have no choice? Are you suggesting that I still harbor hope, that if I die in this life, I can still rise again?"
The dragon head said in a rather embarrassed voice: "Well, but this is the nature of you humans, isn't it?"
Yin Shan sneered, "If I were like everyone else, would Heaven and you still choose me? You both chose me, not Heaven alone.
You have tried your best to provide me with all the conveniences to make it easier for me to do things. I am really grateful, but please don't forget that.
Although I am an executor, I have flesh and blood and relatives. Even if A Cang didn't bring me here, I would still wipe out the Taotie and mutants.
Fight until death!
Am I right, the spirit of the zero-degree space?"
As Yin Shan finished speaking, the darkness around them was no longer there. They felt as if they were in a large hall. If Yin Shan had to describe it, it would be a scene of vicissitudes...
And in front of Yin Shan was the huge head that she had sensed before.
Yin Shan was slightly stunned: "Have you...always existed like this?"
Only a head, no body, unable to move...
The leader said: "Well, it has existed for who knows how long..."
Guan Yunhua said distressedly: "Aren't you hungry? Don't you want to eat? There are so many delicious foods outside, and you haven't tried them! You are so pitiful!"
The dragon head was startled, then smiled and said, "I conserved my strength and didn't give you the Zero Degree Space completely because I needed to retain most of my strength to confirm that we made the best choice in this last chance.
Now, you may ask any questions you have. Once I transform into a spirit and return to space, these memories will disappear."
Yin Shan knew that time was running out. She didn't know how long she had been unconscious, but calculating the time, it seemed that Su Xin had been hatching the Taotie for almost a year, so she needed to hurry.
So she asked, "After level 100, there will be no further increase in strength?"
"There's no way your level will improve any further. This is the upper limit, restricted by the rules. Just like Taotie, they have excellent reproductive abilities and powerful combat capabilities, but they are destined to have no special abilities."
Guan Yunhua said, "Shanshan and I evolved in different directions: one is life, the other is destruction. We clearly share the same origin, so why is this happening?"
The leader said: "All things in the world are interdependent and mutually exclusive. Girl, you are an executor. Executors usually have extraordinary attack power, and you are a protector, so your ability is life.
But what I can reveal is that your vitality is exceptionally strong. Unless you are the executor yourself, your vitality is infinite once you have awakened."
Guan Yunhua: So I am some kind of immortal monster...
The dragon head seemed to understand Guan Yunhua's thoughts and explained, "Your vitality is endless. You will not die. Unless you spend your life to save the executor, no matter who you want to heal, it will not have any effect on you. Of course, those who have already died are not included in this scope."
The price you need to pay is that you will ultimately be terminated by the Executor."
Ah Cang suddenly shouted angrily: "You are lying! You mean, grandma can only die at the hands of the master?! That's impossible!"
The leader said, "This is the price, but if the executor is unwilling, no one can kill the survivor."
Guan Yunhua's eyes lit up: "Doesn't that mean that since I can't die, I can destroy the Taotie on my own? They can't kill me anyway!"
The leader gave a cold reminder: "Taotie is also an executor."
Guan Yunhua:??? What the hell???
Yin Shan asked, "Taotie is the executor of destruction, right?"
The leader said: "Yes, the way of destruction is the same as the way of heaven. As long as the executor dies, they will die."
Yin Shan then asked, "In other words, as long as my warriors don't die, my mother can be saved. And it doesn't require consuming vitality, only supernatural powers, right?"
The leader hummed as a response.
Yin Shan continued to ask, "Do you understand mutants?"
The dragon head said disdainfully: "They are just small fry. The executors can call on the higher-level tribes to wipe them out."
Yin Shan's eyes lit up. "High-level tribes? The kind that are willing to communicate with me in a friendly manner?"
The dragon head was at a loss for words. "The only high-level tribes are wolves, leopards, tigers, lions, eagles, and dogs. Other creatures will not obey the orders of the executor."
Yin Shan was discouraged: "I have already recovered the wolf pack and leopard pack, but their numbers are really small..."
The leader said, "You just need to recapture the tribe's king. As long as they are of the same species, the king can command them."
Yin Shan understood: "The king of the wolf pack is Ah Cang, and the king of the leopard pack is Da Hei, right?"
The dragon head said: "The one who speaks human language is the king."
Yin Shan: .....Dahei may never be able to speak human language in his life.
Guan Yunhua said: "Hanhan can already speak."
Yin Shan: ??? Why didn’t I know??? Oh yeah, Hanhan hasn’t appeared since I woke up. Where has he been?
Guan Yunhua explained: "It seemed to have sensed something and went out alone, saying it wanted to give its mother a surprise."
Yin Shan: ...are the dogs surprised?
The leader said, "I can sense everything that happens around you, but executors are naturally immune to mutants."
Yin Shan's eyes lit up: "Using my blood as an agent to make a vaccine can prevent infection?"
The leader said, "It's theoretically possible, but if the executor loses blood, it's more serious than losing an arm or a leg."
Guan Yunhua: Why do I suddenly feel that this tone is a bit similar to Hou Ting's... a bit out of tune!
Sure enough, the dragon head seemed to no longer suppress his nature and said, "Why don't you recapture the various tribes and let them go find those mutants?
I know you want the Clan to defend the base, but isn't your presence enough?
You are the king of plants after all, can't you lead those mutated plants?
Didn’t you bring a powerful weapon with you?”
Melon-eating little vine: This killing weapon is here, who dares to act rashly!
