Chapter 146 From Birth to Death
"Is this the scorpion man..."

?It seems that a layer of dark curtain has been covered down in the night, making people breathless.In the semi-underground stone room, the paintbrush in the hand of the [-]th student paused slightly, and then walked again.

While he was telling the story of the life of the Peking Man, I don't know when he silently took out his drawings and brushes and started painting. However, the Eighteen Painters did not give any answer to Xiang Dongliu's seemingly self-questioning question. respond.

After a long while, after Xiang Dongliu had finally digested everything that Shibahuasheng said, he couldn't help asking a formal question, "There are... two more questions!"

"First of all, why do the eggs with great potential that are bred at dawn breed ordinary earthworms, while the eggs at sunset breed executioners, who have considerable strength comparable to the second level? Where are the worms?" Xiang Dongliu paused and continued to ask.

"Moreover, why are one-third of the stone houses in the city of giant stones empty? Where did the gnats who originally lived here go? Their final destination is..."

"Good question!" After the Eighteenth Painter replied these three words, he didn't respond to Xiang Dongliu immediately.Instead, he continued to lower his head and look at the painting on his sketch, as if he was thinking of words.

"The mental method I practiced - there is a saying in the Heaven, Earth, Yin and Yang Dale Fu that can barely be explained... The way of the sky, make up for what is lacking and damage what is more. The gnats born from the eggs of the morning sun belong to those with great potential Yes. But the way of heaven is fair, and the way of heaven determines that there can be no perfect things to appear. It is impossible for the gnats to reproduce at the dawn of time to have extraordinary power as soon as they are born. They need to be like the rising sun. Accumulate heat little by little, and reach the hottest time of the day in the afternoon. The same is true for the ordinary gnats born from the eggs of the morning sun, and they also need to accumulate a little bit of energy until they are fully mature. Fully empathetic Only the gnats have extraordinary powers that are unmatched by executioners and ordinary people."

"And the gnats born from the eggs of the setting sun are short of the upper limit of their ability to accumulate strength. It's like the sunset on the west mountain. It's already the eve of the heat disappearing, and only the last brilliance is left. The gnats born from the eggs of the setting sun Humans are born with much greater strength than ordinary gnats that come out of eggs in the morning light. You don't have to wait until they are fully mature, as long as you grow up a little, you will have decent strength. After eating for a few days, you will be controlled by gnats in the state of young children. After completing the rations, you will have the strength of the second level..."

"So, among all the rations for the earthworms, the ones that have just emerged from the embryonic egg state and failed to gestate and rotate the ration are mostly embryonic eggs that were born in the morning light. After all... alas~"

Outlined by the pen, the eighteenth painter has already completely outlined and depicted with the brush what he said about the life of the scorpion man...
The painting style of eighteen painters is realistic, and the artistic conception is lifelike, but it also has a "romantic" side. However, this "romantic" is not romantic, but it has a taste of "magic realism".It clearly depicts the gnat man from life to death, and shows a depressive and extremely dark demeanor throughout... By the way, from life to death, there is still a "final chapter of death" missing...

"Moreover, I will answer your second question now." The eighteenth painter continued, but the brush in his hand continued to move.

"You just asked me about their final destination. Let me tell you another thing first. That is why the three generations of Xiyuan chose to be here 'ignorant of the world', and have been here all the time to make things difficult for this innocent man. .”

"I said that the ordinary gnats in the city of boulders reproduced from the eggs at dawn, and they have huge potential. So where did this hidden potential go? In fact...they don't The obvious potential is in their huge heads."

"In the head?! This, how do you say this?" Xiang Dongliu was surprised. He had never thought about why the heads of the earthworms he saw were all as big as buckets. Now according to the painter, he just now Realized that it seemed that the head of an ordinary worm was a round bigger than that of an executioner.

"Ordinary scorpions have a normal head since birth, and the head-to-body ratio of a young child will not look too big. But the dark river surrounding this city of megaliths is very strange, giving ordinary scorpions unknown potential power."

"As they grow up day by day, a black spar will slowly be produced in their heads. There is a very strange power in the spar. 'Forbearance' will not change until the end of life of ordinary scorpion people, but as long as the dark river-like spar is taken out from the head of ordinary scorpion people, it only needs to be bumped slightly Then there will be a huge spiritual power riot, and it will produce impressive power."

"And the stone building that imprisoned me that I blew up today was a small black spar that Xiyuan gave me. I just 'triggered' it with some of my self-defense gadgets, but the resulting The power caused a stone building built with huge stones to collapse completely. The power is really huge, and we must be amazed by it."

"And the sign that ordinary mature black spar can be taken out from the head of an ordinary scorpion is that at the moment when an ordinary scorpion becomes an 'adult', a touch of algae-like aquatic plants will grow on the top of the head, presenting a spiral shape."

"At that time, the gnats with algae-like grass on their heads will be discovered and caught by the executioners. After they are assembled, they will be pressed to the high platform in the north of the city of giant stones and executed among them. The method of execution is to put Those ordinary gnats were stuffed into the powerful torches invented by the three generations of Xiyuan's ancestors and grandchildren, and they were all shot out to the place where the seedling breeders raised gnat eggs, where there would be special dissecting black spar Existence. Therefore, the short life of ordinary gnats comes to an end..."

"噫~呵~曲······" After finishing speaking, the eighteen painters let out a long sigh.He put down the paintbrush in his hand that was still running at high speed just now.In Xiang Dongliu's eyes, the drawings one after another are also presented.

As far as the drawing style is concerned, it is indeed realistic and depressing, and has nothing in common with the invincible sunshine shown by the [-]th painter.But I have to admit that the drawing is really lifelike, so real that it feels unreal as if it is involuntarily brought into it.

It seems that I am the life of all those people who don't understand, let alone sad or happy.What else is there but paleness.
