Chapter 284 Weird Locusts
After being baptized by a giant whale, the cruise ship arrived at the port of an island.
When getting off the boat, everyone put on their cloaks and hung their masks on their heads.
Including Mu Hua and his entourage, everyone covered their figures, as if they were a group of monks participating in a mysterious ceremony, setting foot on this island of exile that the Alan demons regarded as their ancestral home.
In the atmosphere filled with ritual atmosphere, the young men and women felt a little depressed and uneasy inexplicably.
Outside the harbor, on a road that goes straight deep into the island, people are like wandering souls on pilgrimage, marching toward the interior of the island along the trajectory outlined by the moonlight grass on the roadside without anyone guiding them.
A silent island, a kind of eerie silence. Mu Hua frowned. There were no birds chirping or animals breathing.
Except for the rustling of leaves, it seemed that everything was quiet, but Mu Hua always felt like he was being spied on.
Observing the surroundings, it seemed that some of the people in the group felt something strange. Out of caution, Mu Hua gave the three of them "false information" one by one.
"Don't worry, the Court of Exile has always been guarded by ghosts and gods. This should be the gaze of ghosts and gods." After noticing Mu Hua's movements, many people in the crowd used magic to block prying eyes, and Tina whispered to Mu Hua.
Ghosts and gods are not undead creatures, nor can they be regarded as monsters. They are the names given to a type of strong people in the human race.
They have the combat power to compete with the king, but they lack the power and credibility that the king has.
Ghosts and gods always have a side that is difficult for mortals to fight against.
They truly touch upon original sin.
Not only can they detect emotional energy like monsters, but they can also absorb some kind of original sin from the emotional energy and use it in unknown ways.
Mu Hua didn't have much idea about this. His general understanding was that "human beings who can ingest original sin will eventually transform into ghosts and gods." ’
"Ghosts and gods, are these locusts under his control? Has he transformed into gluttony?" The occasional insects on the grass and trees on the roadside caught Mu Hua's attention.
The size of locusts is not exaggerated. The larger ones are barely as long as an adult's hand.
Their dark brown color is mixed with some blue-gray spots.
Although they didn't look very conspicuous, Mu Hua still felt a faint sense of threat from their darker teeth and jaws.
The crowd marched all the way, and as the crowd went deeper, more and more such locusts appeared on the roadside.
They have a faint aura of magic on their bodies, and they observe everyone with their compound eyes.
When some curious young people went to catch them, they didn't resist at all. When they were not attacked, the young people often let them go under the advice of the demons around them.
The mage caught a locust in his hand. It was heavy in his hand. The locust was as long as his hand and weighed forty or fifty kilograms.
The wings are tough, but can be torn without much force.
If they are fanned quickly, their wings may be able to scratch people's skin like paper, but in terms of toughness, they should not be too lethal.
Mu Hua tore off half of the locust's wings. The locust in his hand still curled up its limbs and did not resist, nor did it kick Mu Hua's palm with its legs and feet covered with sharp barbs.
These locusts have fragile bodies, with the strength of their limbs and feet close to the bones of ordinary people, and their bodies are only as strong as ordinary cowhide at most.
However, the big jaws on their heads were hard and sharp. When they were pulled apart, the sharp edges of the teeth caused a slight pain to the fingers, but Mu Hua actually did not break it.
"Is the main attack method gnawing? But the threat shouldn't be too big, right?" Mu Hua frowned and thought as he threw the locusts back to the side of the road.
It was related to the original sin and involved locusts. Mu Hua would habitually think of gluttony, but Tina gave him an unexpected reply.
"It is said that His Highness should be the ruler of the color field. If a man looks directly at him, his orientation will be distorted. If you see him, try not to look at him for a long time." Tina didn't know the details, but still solemnly reminded Mu Hua.
"he?"
"he."
"Color field?" Mu Hua was surprised.
"Yes, color field." Tina answered affirmatively.
"..." Mu Hua was silent. He seemed to suddenly admire this big man who was best not to meet.
The essence of color field is reproduction, which means redemption, and charm is just its subsidiary ability.
Mu Hua suddenly remembered what he mentioned on Monday. Gluttony demons are usually powerful individually, while color field demons often have bug-related abilities.
The color field demons here do not refer to a demon race, but demons who have the blood of original sin and have touched the power of original sin.
The so-called power does not seem to refer to skill magic. Just like the ghosts and gods in the mouth of humans, the power of original sin will cause some natural phenomena that bend the rules to appear around them.
Mu Hua originally believed that his blood of rage was equivalent to the blood of original sin, but let alone original sin, he could not even sense emotional energy.
Just like a puzzle with missing modules, if we combine the concept of "ghosts and gods", it is estimated that there are still some key gaps between him and Original Sin.
"If it is a color field, then these bugs should also have the ability to reproduce and proliferate. They have the breath of life, but they have no soul. If they can reproduce again, it will be like they are created out of nothing."
Catching a locust again, Mu Hua indeed found the reproductive organ from the tail of the locust. While kneading it, watching Mu Hua squeeze out some bodily fluids from the locust's genitals, the girls in Taibesha took a few steps away from Mu Hua in disgust, as if they wanted to. Cut it off with him.
Ignoring his surroundings, Mu Hua was completely aroused by these locusts.
You know, they should be considered magical creations, but how can they have biological characteristics? Even magical life has no ability to reproduce.
After catching a few more locusts, Mu Hua also found the female individual among them, and found the eggs with the rhythm of life in their bellies.
"Are these things living things?"
"But what about the soul?"
"Similar to cyborgs? No, they are obviously magical creations, but how can they reproduce?" Mu Hua looked around while muttering, but unfortunately not even the Tuesday in his body could answer his doubts.
Even though Tuesday is a different kind of demon, when it comes to original sin and ghosts and gods, Mu Hua and his gang are like illiterate people who have never been out of the mountains.
A swarm of locusts filled their heads with questions. As everyone moved forward, the road seemed to have reached the end. Looking at a black stone peak in the distance, a deep horn sound suddenly sounded in the wilderness.
"BoomBoom" The horn was followed by a heavy muffled sound, and the shaking earth made everyone stop in their tracks.
In the horrified sight of everyone, the distant mountain peaks rose from the ground.
When a huge head like a dragon's head was raised, everyone could see clearly what kind of mountain peak the black rock in the distance was. It was simply a giant turtle that looked like a hill.
Leviathan, this riding horse is a Leviathan demon that has not escaped.
This style of Leviathan has a certain tribe, and humans also call them land turtles.
Not counting the head, neck and tail, the turtle's body, which looks like a rocky peak, is more than forty meters long. It stands on all fours. Also not counting its raised head, its body is more than thirty meters tall.
Although they had long heard that the entrance to the Exiled Court was guarded by a Leviathan, when this monster actually appeared in sight, everyone was still horrified.
Since entering the Alan Kingdom, Mu Hua and other banquet-goers have not seen any strong demons, and the demon clan has not put on any display of bravery. No one even formally received these banquet-goers.
But at this time, the giant whale on the ocean and the land emperor Leviathan on this island are both promoting the strength of the demon clan.
"Mad, this is a corpse demon, right? No, it's a corpse demon hosted by the Faceless Man! How many years does it take for a faceless man to raise this level of corpse demon?" Compared to most people around him, , Mu Hua has a stronger perception of the giant turtle in the distance.
That thing contained not life, but death. It was simply a Leviathan that had been refined into a corpse demon.
As for Leviathans like the Land King Turtle, let alone corpse demons, even if they were alive, without the assistance of magic, their four legs would not be able to support their heavy and huge bodies.
The corpse demon cannot cast magic. The roaring land turtle in front of him seems to be a living thing. This guy is simply a corpse demon attached to the faceless man.
This style of corpse demon was completely beyond Mu Hua's knowledge. It was hard to say whether it was stronger or weaker than the demon dragon, but as far as Mu Hua was concerned, the method used to deal with the demon dragon would never work on it.
Even if he could make it look funny, Mu Hua couldn't do anything with the Lu Huanggui in front of him.
Mu Hua suspected that all of his current abilities combined might not be able to cause harm to this guy.
I heard that this thing usually lies on the teleportation array of the Court of Exile. This is basically a war fortress placed at the teleportation entrance.
"Give the exiles a fair death!" Amidst the majestic oath, locusts flying all over the sky formed a curtain covering the sky, as if they were a disaster that was about to sweep the world.
"Greetings to His Highness! Give the exiled a fair death!" Among the crowd, a large number of demons knelt down. The contractors looked around, but they could not see the His Highness the demon was talking about.
The contractors looked at each other in confusion. His Highness the demon said should be the ghost and god who protects the demon clan. Obviously, the big boss had no intention of showing up in front of these young people.
Among the demons who were kneeling on the ground, Tina, Barbara and a few demons just put one hand on their chests and bowed their heads in salute.
They are all demons who have become the dependents of others, but they will not kneel to anyone without the instructions of their master.
This may be regarded as an attitude of the Demon Clan towards contractors in addition to intimidation and deterrence. (End of chapter)
