I rely on copies to build infrastructure

"Then can you collect its energy fragments?"

Qin Lu pointed to the high priest who was quickly heading towards the Phoenix ruins below.

"The coal ball said that she would use the blood of other members of the royal family to purify the crown prince and use people as nourishment. This is a sorcery, right?!"

He suddenly remembered what Patriarch Hauge had said before.In recent years, the royal family has produced descendants of ultra-high bloodlines, constantly breaking the federal high-purity record, but these people are surprisingly weak when they enter the duel stage, and there is obviously a huge gap between their strength and purity.

The royal family's explanation to the outside world is that the royal family's advantage is not in physical fitness and fighting, but in Qin Lu's view, the real reason lies in the artificial cultivation of the high priest.Although Zhu Miao Zhuchang looks good, but after all, it is not the power obtained after awakening, and it is just a show when it is really used.

But for such vanity, the royal family has to sacrifice the interests of other descendants every time. What they breed are not descendants, but provide nourishment for creating high-purity illusions, and they are never tired of it, without mercy.

Power is in the hands of these lunatics, it is too dangerous.

Hearing his question, Xi Ren shook his head.

"We don't like to devour the power of the same family, because each individual has his own flame, which is incompatible with each other."

Speaking of this, he suddenly felt that the young man in his arms was in a low mood, so he immediately added another sentence.

"Although it cannot be devoured, it can be eliminated, as long as I am stronger than the other party."

He stretched out his hand and pointed at the mountain that seemed to be burning in the distance.

"It's just a newborn bird cub, no matter how talented it is, there is still a newborn fire left, and I can easily smash it into pieces."

"Do you want to do it now?"

When he said this, Qin Lu had a solid foundation in his mind.

He shook his head.

"Not in a hurry."

"We can wait and see first. After all, the ceremony hasn't started yet, and we can't just listen to the briquette's side story."

Xi Ren felt indifferent.

Except for Qin Lu, he actually doesn't care much about other things in this world.

Originally, there was a voice guiding him to investigate the Phoenix ruins, but now that the answer to the mystery is the newborn fire belonging to another of the same race, he immediately lost all curiosity.

Although Huo Huo felt very kind and had an indescribably familiar feeling, it was not his own after all, and he didn't bother to snatch other people's power.

That guy's talent is very good, it's a pity that he can't survive.

Thinking of this, both of them also calmed down, and quietly followed the pilgrimage team to the ruins.

It has been an hour since entering the wasteland, and there are still three quarters of an hour before Shuoshi. Except for the sacrificial sacrificial team of the holy descendants, the rest of the awakened groups are organized according to their families and trek forward on the scorching red soil.

Their time was limited, and they had to get as close to the Phoenix ruins as possible before Shuo Shi arrived, and it was best to be able to enter the main hall.

Even if there is no way to enter, the closer you are, the more phoenix energy you can get, which is very good for personal awakening.

However, walking on the red wasteland is not an easy task.

This is a no-fly zone, and all aircraft cannot be used, nor can they rely on other powered land vehicles. The only thing they can rely on is their own feet.

In order to resist the high temperature and strong wind in the wasteland, the quasi-awakened people all wore thick and airtight protective clothing, which could retain moisture to the maximum and adjust the temperature.

But despite this, the high temperature and strong winds on the wasteland still consumed all the physical strength of the quasi-awakened ones.The water on the body surface has been evaporated, and the water that he carried with him has long been drunk. Now he is completely supported by his mind, and his walking speed is pitifully low, but every step consumes a lot of energy.

This is very different from the feeling of lava cracks. The closer to the ruins, the more unbearably high the temperature, which is a thousand times harsher than imagined.

Before entering, all the quasi-awakened ones were full of confidence, but after walking for a quarter of an hour, many of them retreated, especially when they saw a group of pretty boys walking away with ease, everyone felt even more uncomfortable.

"They...they, why are they so fast?!"

A young master of the vulture family said angrily.

"Obviously they are all short-legged raptors, so what if they are more muscular? It's not a walking chicken. I've never seen a raptor run so fast!"

His companion sneered.

"What's the use of running fast, they don't even count the Yu clan. They can't awaken in their original form, and even if they reach the Phoenix ruins, they can't become human again."

"Look at it, the original body has no protection, and it can't resist the energy of the phoenix at all. They will soon be a pool of rotten flesh and blood."

Even though they said this, the two of them were still very angry when they saw the group of tail feathers going away quickly.

Waste that cannot be saved should be eaten in the protected area and wait to die. What are you doing in the Phoenix Ruins?Make trouble for them! ?

But not everyone is dark-hearted, and some people really care about this group of returnees.

"Are you crazy?!"

When passing a group of Huang Zhen, one of the young men in heavy protective clothing suddenly shouted.

"Rossard, wake up! You are in the original form now, you have no protection, if you run so desperately in the Phoenix ruins, you will die!"

As he said that, he was about to take off his protective clothing and was about to throw it to the big black kite in the lead.

The big black kite turned around and found that it was his former good brother, so he waved his wings and made a flying gesture to him.

"Good brother, no problem! Wear your clothes well, brother is waiting for you in front!"

As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, his acquaintances were taken aback, and even stopped taking off their protective clothing.

Rossard can talk! ?

Doesn't it mean that the language function is the first to degenerate in atavism?Since he can speak, does that mean that his atavism is almost cured? !

Very good!

Although there is no precedent for returning ancestors awakening in the Phoenix ruins, seeing how energetic Rossard is, maybe he can really create miracles!

"correct."

Floating in mid-air, Qin Lu suddenly thought of something.

"The briquettes didn't mean to collect all the activated cells of the royal descendants to pave the way for the crown prince, so why haven't we done anything to the holy priest?"

Although everyone is a black bird, the short legs of the coal balls are so abrupt that the royal family cannot fail to see them.

The royal family gave birth to a large number of bird cubs in order to pursue a higher purity of blood, and one more person would have a little more possibility of promotion. There is no reason for the priests of the holy descendants to let the briquettes go.

"Don't worry."

Xi Ren looked at the red sky.

"It's coming soon. It's not too late for you to worry when the awakening ceremony starts."

So Qin Lu had the patience to continue waiting.

The high priest's team quickly entered the main hall of the ruins, the crown prince was pushed to the center by the high priest, the remaining princes and princesses were arranged to stand around the two, and the cubs also rushed to the periphery of the ruins.

At the first hour of the new year, the scarlet sky suddenly darkened, and only the blazing flames of the Phoenix remained in the sky. Everyone seemed to have pressed the pause button, and even the perennial strong wind stopped.

But at this time, the priest of the Holy Seed moved.

He knelt down on one knee, raised the shiny scepter high with both hands, and kept muttering something.

As he chanted, the red gemstone on the top of the scepter began to shine, the brightness gradually increased, and the range gradually expanded, tending to cover the entire wasteland.

However, the priest of the holy descendants was obviously lacking in strength. Just as the wave-like red halo spread to the outside of the temple, the woman in a gorgeous white-gold robe could no longer hold on, her knees limp and she sat on the ground.

On the outskirts of the temple, the coal balls mixed in the black kite team were shrouded in a halo of light, gradually lifted, and then pulled into the main hall of the ruins in an instant.

He just filled the last empty space in the circle.

Qin Lulu heard the people behind him chuckle twice.

"Look, isn't it full of people?"

For the two bystanders in mid-air, the holy-born priest was unaware. She found the last supply and began to sing with all her concentration.

It was a strange tone, continuous high-pitched, like cicadas in the hottest summer, and it made people feel upset after listening to it for a long time.

Qin Lu was not affected, because Xi Ren had set up an isolation layer around the two of them early in the morning.

But the isolation layer can block the chirping of cicadas, but it cannot block the impact of the scene in front of me.He was shocked to see that the high priest kneeling below had grown six wings, opened them suddenly, and slowly left the ground.

About half a meter above the ground, the High Priest hovered in midair.She has four transparent wings flapping constantly to maintain the balance of her body.

The top two wings are very strange, without feathers, with protruding bones and carapace.Qin Lu, who works in the laboratory, can see clearly that these are not the wings of birds at all, but the elytra of insects!

Is the high priest not a bird, but a worm? !

The priests of the Zerg's holy descendants began to hover, constantly sowing unknown objects like fly powder.

The silver-white powder, like fine sand, fell on the heads of a group of royal children covering their heads and faces. However, the nobles who fell into a stillness did not notice it. They seemed to have lost consciousness. They just hung their heads and let a foreign race Holding a sharp knife, he cut the back of their necks one by one.

The blood gushed out and dripped on the dark red ground, and was quickly evaporated by the high temperature, leaving only light clusters one after another.These clusters of light emerged from the wound, guided by the scepter, hovered in a row in mid-air, becoming a dazzling light source in the dark world.

Black coal balls were not spared either.

Although he was in the original form, the feathers on the nape of his neck also faintly overflowed with light clusters. Seeing the light clusters being guided into the crown prince's body, Qin Lu was really anxious now.

"Stop him quickly, don't let him complete the ceremony!"

He turned his head and found that Xi Ren was still there, with no intention of making a move, and became more and more anxious.

"Hurry up!"

Qin Lu couldn't help urging.

Isn't the scene before them the same as when they were in the wasteland world! ?In a static world, the only thing that is not static is the owner of the power shards and the person who borrowed the power.

The two of them have kept their freedom of movement up to now, not imprisoned by the power of the fragments, which shows that Xiaoren is absolutely capable of solving this ceremony!

"Don't worry."

Xiaoren was very calm today.

"It's going to be all right. You have to believe that these days of hard work will not go to waste."

"What waste is not wasted?! That Zerg is stealing the activated cells of innocent people! Once the cells are phagocytized and fused, the briquettes will never be transformed into human form again!"

Qin Lu went to the room in a hurry.

Then, he felt his head being stroked by a warm hand, his chest behind him shook slightly, and he laughed happily.

"Don't worry, it's fine."

"Do you still remember what I told you before, the phagocytosis rules of activated cells?"

Qin Lu was taken aback.

Devour the rules?

His mind turned a few times quickly, and after a few seconds, his eyes brightened.

"You mean...the briquettes are now the dominant side?"

"of course."

Xi Ren nodded, with a flash of arrogance in his eyes.

"My students, how could they be swallowed by others."

"But……"

Qin Lu was not satisfied with this conclusion.

Even if the activated cells of the briquettes can swallow the crown prince, they have already been transferred to the opponent's body, and the briquettes still lose their activated cells, unless the cells can automatically return to the main body after being swallowed, how is that possible?Activated cells are cells, not intelligent life with thinking consciousness...

But before he could speak, the humming of the cicadas in his ears suddenly stopped, and the priest of the Holy See uttered a hoarse cry.

Qin Lu's eyes widened, and he looked at the main hall of the ruins in astonishment.

In the meantime, the crown prince's body devoured the light ball greedily, and his figure gradually swelled, but at a certain moment, his originally flat chest suddenly swelled up egg-sized bumps.

In less than a minute, these bumps gradually merged into a football-sized semicircle, and the crown prince's originally tall and stalwart body gradually shrank, like a balloon that was punctured, and only one piece remained. The thin outer skin, but he himself didn't notice it, and still maintained the posture before he stopped.

This this……

Qin Lu's eyes widened.

People... were hollowed out!

This... is this the power of devouring? !
