Chapter 539: Third Floor: Holy Grail Fruit Forest
During the descent, Tang San asked Zhou Qing: "Regarding the mutant, Brother Qing, have you already made some guesses?"
"Kind of."
Zhou Qing looked at Li Ke's light green eyes and expressed his guess, "If organisms want to survive, they must adapt to the environment."
"It's like the law of the jungle. In the past, people believed that the strong prey on the weak, but this is only an appearance. The true essence is that only the fittest survive."
"Just like the Weeping Corpse Bird we encountered before, it is not affected by the Ascension Curse. This must be related to its body structure. The holes on its chest and back not only allow it to imitate the calls of other creatures, but also perhaps allow it to coordinate with the environmental aura of the Abyss Ruins during the ascension process..."
Based on this inference, Zhou Qing believes that the humans living here should also evolve their bodies to adapt to the ruins of the abyss.
The alienated body is the result of this type of human body's transformation towards adapting to the abyss environment.
Moreover, compared to other creatures, humans actually have two choices.
First, after descending and no longer going up, the body will naturally not undergo alienation. As long as it finds the growth laws of animals and plants, it will be enough to survive.
The second is that after going down, you will rise again and be cursed by the rising curse, which is the influence of the aura of each layer of the environment.
This influence, in essence, forces the human body's aura to adapt to the environment's aura. It is a quick process, but the process of changing the body is extremely painful.
If you can’t hold on, you’ll die.
Even if you hold on, it doesn't guarantee success, as it may lead to the collapse of your body shape, which means that the alienated body will look extremely disharmonious.
And in this process of ascension and alienation, it is also the process of the martial soul and the physical body in the human body completing the fusion.
Abyss people cannot awaken their martial spirits?
Perhaps it is just that they cannot awaken their martial souls within the range covered by the aura of these abyss ruins, but this does not mean that they do not have martial souls.
Therefore, during the ascent, influenced by the environmental aura, the human body's aura must be forced to adapt to the outside world, so that the unawakened martial soul in the body is also forcibly awakened in this process, and even produces a deeper level of fusion with the human body.
After all, in addition to those with orc-like appearance, the City Lord Tianming also said that there are types of mutated bodies that are similar to soul guide devices.
That type might be the owner of a weapon spirit, but during this alienation process, it should have undergone a deeper fusion with the flesh and blood of the human body, appearing in the form of a possessed body rather than appearing in the hands.
"If the martial soul misses the awakening time, the soul palace that nurtures the martial soul will be wrinkled, and even cause the unawakened martial soul to die in the womb."
Romantina was puzzled. "Is it because the environment here is special that even if people here don't awaken their martial spirits at the age of six, their martial spirits won't lose their spirituality? Or is it that the time it takes for their spirituality to disappear is much longer than in the outside world?"
"It's possible. After all, the faces of the residents of Abyss Town are all quite round. Even the elderly have very few wrinkles on their faces. They all have childlike faces."
Zhou Qing guessed, "Perhaps this kind of influence not only affects their appearance, but also allows their unawakened martial spirits to retain their corresponding vitality for a long time."
Xiao Wu also agreed.
In her heart, the residents of this town of Abis all have very strong emotions. She likes them if she likes them and hates them if she hates them.
Just like the finals of the Continental Elite Tournament was held in the center of Abyss Town, most of the Abyss people in the town did not like fighting, so they continued to do their own things and did not even discuss the topic of the Continental Elite Tournament.
Quiet and peaceful.
It can be said that the tranquility and leisure of Abis Town are completely incompatible with the hustle and bustle of the outside world during this period.
"Are you researching the effects of the Ascending Curse on the human body?"
Riko also joined the conversation. "Abyss's explorers have also been researching and have not given up yet, but the results are very limited."
"Abo said that the ascending curse is also a blessing, a blessing from the abyss. It is said that only by going down to the bottom and then climbing up without stopping can one have the power to change the world." This legend -
In Zhou Qing's opinion, this is not an exaggeration. The environmental aura of the abyss ruins is stronger layer by layer. So if there is a creature that can go from the bottom to the top in one breath and still maintain its intelligence, it may really possess extremely powerful power.
But that's only in theory.
Perhaps from the seventh floor and below, or even slightly upwards, one would be subjected to unimaginable pressure, causing the body to collapse or even explode and die.
"The power to change the world?"
Wang Sheng was half-believing and half-doubting.
After all, if an ordinary person can climb up from the sixth floor, his hard power can at least reach the Soul Saint stage. If he can climb up from a lower level, he may be even stronger.
However, according to Brother Qing's inference, the ascending curse of the abyss ruins is ineffective for people like them who are practicing aura training, or the effect will be greatly reduced, right?
Boom!
The lift dropped to the ground.
the third floor.
Arrived.
Different from the dark night of the first layer and the rainy day of the second layer, the third layer is daytime with bright sunshine, fresh air and lush vegetation.
Right around this lift platform, there are many strange broad-leaved plants.
Why is it strange?
This is because the stems of the trees in this forest are round, similar to various vases and cups with strange shapes. Under the sunlight, you can even see a few rippling waves.
The stem is hollow inside! And it contains an unknown liquid!
"This is the third floor, the Holy Grail Fruit Forest!"
Rico was very excited when she came to the third floor of the Abyss Ruins for the first time. However, she suppressed her adventurous nature and introduced the general situation of the Holy Grail Fruit Forest to Zhou Qing and others.
"Since this third layer is full of various plants similar to containers, and more than 60% of the plants will bear fruit, it is called the Holy Grail Fruit Forest."
“And within these trees bloom the hot springs.”
When they heard the word "hot spring", everyone was stunned.
Zhou Qing was the first to react, thinking that Li Ke had mistranslated, but Li Ke said firmly: "It's not a hot spring, but it's better than a hot spring! Although the water inside was rainwater at first, it's hot water now! All the plants here have small leaves on top that are similar to fish scales. At noon, they will stand up to absorb sunlight and heat themselves up."
“Why heat it up?”
Tang San didn't understand.
Most plants don't like overheated temperatures, but the plants on the third layer will use the sunlight to heat the collected rainwater...
Could it be that the characteristics of all the plants here are comparable to those of the Fiery Apricot tree in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire?
"I'm not sure. Professor Abai's knowledge about the third layer and the layers below it is not that specific. He only gives some general information."
Liko shook her head helplessly, then said excitedly, "However, Abo said that if we can soak in this kind of tree hot springs all year round, we can strengthen our bodies. But unfortunately, these hot spring waters can only play the greatest effect when they are stored in plants. They are useless if we take them out..."
