Chapter 114 Marine Hot Spring Comprehensive Sanatorium (Part 10)
The stalactites at the top were covered with a viscous pink liquid.
At first, Mingzhao thought that the top of the stalactite was some kind of round stone.
But when she activated her Clear Vision, she discovered that these stones were inscribed with:
【Deep-sea mother worm eggshell】.
The eggshells were translucent, and upon closer inspection, one could see something wriggling inside.
The pink liquid flowed down these eggs and onto the stalactites.
The entire cave was dark, except for the glowing fungi growing on the walls, which emitted a faint blue light.
In such an environment, the enormous body of the deep-sea mother worm resembles some kind of man-made, armored monster.
Below the stalactites, visit these glass containers, which are already half-filled with pink liquid.
Just then, the previously quiet mother insect suddenly changed.
Its head slowly turned, facing the direction of Mingzhao.
For some reason, the invisibility cloak was completely unable to block its senses!
It used human language, gentle and magnetic, creating an ethereal feeling in the narrow cave.
"You... are not my child. Why are you here? Are you one of the director's people?"
Mingzhao was startled and quickly retreated to the cave entrance.
At this point, the mother insect's face was fully revealed.
For some reason, Mingzhao could see a hint of kindness and compassion on its face.
"Dean?"
"Are you also here to collect those miraculous medicines? If you need them, you can take as many as you like."
The mother insect looked at her tenderly, as if she were looking at her own child.
A strange feeling welled up in Mingzhao's heart; it seemed that this mother worm really wanted to help those patients.
Perhaps she could ask it directly for the answers she wants to know.
"Why are you so eager to help... us? Aren't only those eggs your children?"
The mother insect glanced kindly at the eggs, then looked at the container that held the nutrients.
"In a sense, we were born in the same place. They suffer from pollution, and I am the 'antidote' born from that pollution."
“We are on the same path, so I can’t bear to see these children suffer.”
"In my heart, they are all equal to my children."
Mingzhao was deeply moved. This wasn't just a mother insect; she was practically a goddess!
If she hadn't witnessed those people being clearly controlled...
Having witnessed those patients who had completely lost their will and became incredibly fanatical at the mere mention of the miracle drug, Mingzhao would never believe anything the mother worm said again.
How can I obtain your protection?
Mingzhao concealed his disgust and instead showed an expression of longing.
The mother insect soothed Mingzhao with a gentle voice.
“It’s very simple. You don’t need to do anything. Just drink the nutritional supplements I’ve prepared for the child every day. You don’t even need to come in person. My servants will deliver them to you on my behalf.”
It seems the mother insect is unaware that Mingzhao has witnessed everything that happened that night.
"Is this all you need to do? I thought I'd have to come see you again tonight."
The mother insect suddenly got stuck in its shell, which made Mingzhao even more suspicious of it.
However, it quickly realized what was happening.
"Since you've seen it, I might as well be frank. My nutrients can only relieve pain and slow the spread of pollution. But to give them spiritual comfort, they must come here to listen to the voice of antiquity."
"These are the voices of praise for the ocean left by the ancestors of marine life before the ocean was polluted. They can help them forget their suffering and recall the ocean's most prosperous times."
At this point, the mother insect was already getting a little impatient.
It has been trying to persuade them for a long time. Most patients' willpower is already broken as soon as they hear its voice.
But this time, even after so much time had passed and it had used its enchanting voice to its fullest extent, the human in front of it still showed no signs of being convinced.
It scratched its head with its short limbs, looking somewhat irritated.
Mingzhao sensed the mother insect's attitude and knew she couldn't ask any more questions.
"I'll think about it some more and come back to see you next time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mingzhao used the Lingbo Weibu technique to teleport outside and ran away before the mother insect could react.
The mother insect's words sounded logical, but in reality, they were full of loopholes.
From the moment it tried to conceal the strange procession that night, Mingzhao knew it had ulterior motives.
There is another problem that has not been solved.
Those four humans were not contaminated before they went out at night.
But when Mingzhao saw them the next day, each of them had traces of contamination on them.
In other words, they didn't go to the Mother Goddess because of pollution, but rather because they stumbled upon some secret and were transformed into that form.
I don't know what they saw that led to this treatment.
If... it's because she saw the patients losing consciousness at night, does that mean she was also in danger?
Mingzhao instantly became alert.
The dean and his subordinates are clearly in a community of interest with this female insect; otherwise, why would they cooperate with it in doing so many things?
If she's right, she's in danger tonight.
Since that's the case, why not get rid of the mother insect now?
Mingzhao was able to survive in the game "Great Voyage" despite having such terrible talent and skills in his previous life.
It relies on its exceptional resilience and ability to act.
She didn't want things to get any worse.
It was already 6 p.m., and the sun would soon set. When the moon rose, the situation would only get worse.
Without further hesitation, and considering the liquid that filled the cave, Mingzhao immediately released a conductive object.
A flash of lightning, and a huge shriek echoed from the cave!
Mingzhao felt a splitting headache, and her mind was in turmoil.
Upon opening the panel, I discovered that the effects of the advanced sobering potion had worn off, and my sanity had dropped to 25.
She quickly downed the last bottle of advanced sobering potion, which made her feel a little better.
Then he quickly attached a lightning net and threw it in.
This time, the mother insect's voice disappeared.
However, Mingzhao didn't think it would be so easy to deal with.
She cautiously peeked inside and saw that the mother insect had been wrapped in a cocoon by a huge amount of filamentous mucus.
It is airtight and insulated, so no user can use lightning-related skills.
Mingzhao tried various attack methods, but the cocoon remained unharmed.
With no other option, Mingzhao took out Thor's Hammer and decided to try out this true damage skill.
Before she could even begin her attack, footsteps could be heard outside.
The footsteps were very dense, some with the rhythmic thumping of the ground at night, and others with a jumble of light, scattered footsteps.
It sounds like there are definitely a lot of people.
As usual, Mingzhao wore the invisibility cloak and walked to the cave entrance.
The patients were seen forming a long, neat line and moving rapidly toward the cave entrance.
The line was at least five times longer than what I saw at night; I couldn't even see the end of it at a glance.
In addition, all the staff on the island, including the interviewer and the security guard they had met at the beginning, all rushed over.
Mingzhao saw Mao Mao walking at the front.
