Phoenix Feather Dedicated to the Admiral

The voice appeared strangely, but it disappeared quickly, without even leaving much memory, as light as a dream.

Qi Mo frowned and looked around, but found no suspicious figure.He wasn't sure whether the voice was speaking to the people in the sanctuary or to him, so Qi Mo's immediate judgment was to ignore it.

There are no soldiers guarding the resting place. As the holy place of Zerg, this situation is obviously abnormal.

Qi Mo had asked Klein for his opinion on arriving at the resting place ahead of schedule. In the afternoon, Her Majesty seemed to have something on her mind with a heavy look on her face. She didn't ask him the reason, and actually agreed directly.

However, she told Qi Mo a few words not to let other people know.

According to Klein, the building carrying the sacred tree is very simple, and the so-called sacred tree is nothing more than an ordinary huge tree.If Qi Mo wants to see it, he can check for her to see if there is any abnormality - after all, with her identity, it's not easy to appear there suddenly.

At the same time, she jokingly said to him: "Remember what you want to see, so that if something happens on the day of the sacrifice, you won't be able to see it later."

This gave Qi Mo a strange feeling—as if Klein didn't care about the sacred tree.

Even Qi Mo felt that this idea was extremely absurd.

Now he is standing in front of the resting place, reaching out his hand to touch the light leaking from the door, and the black and white double doors slowly opened—out of reverence for faith, those Zerg would not easily approach here.

He reached out and called out his ether.The snow ball was stimulated by the light from the sanctuary to narrow its eyes, and it shrank cautiously into Qi Mo's arms.

According to the restrictions of the sanctuary itself, the second soul is not allowed to enter, otherwise it cannot enter.

A transparent, thin box expanded from the gap of the door by the size of a thumb, and Qi Mo put the snow ball into the transparent box.He patted the little guy's head.

The snow pompom rubbed against his palm, and closed his eyes obediently and quietly.The box was transferred to the upper floors outside the sanctuary wall, and it could be retrieved when Qi Mo left.

Qi Mo walked into the resting place, and everything went smoothly beyond imagination.

Different from the dark night scene outside, the resting place is bright everywhere, with a tall dome covering the top in a circular arc shape, and a curved path mixed with flowing water to lead people forward step by step.Qi Mo went all the way along the path, and the more he went forward, the more strange he felt.

Until two forks appeared in front of him.

Qi Mo slowly frowned—as if Klein hadn't mentioned to him that there was such a thing as a "forked road" in the resting place.

Besides, as a single building, he has already gone a long way inside, isn't the resting place a bit...too deep?

……

In the main bedroom of the hive, Klein was snuggling in Alai's arms, his eyes half-opened as if he was thinking about something, and there was a little light in his crimson pupils.

She couldn't sleep at all, her heart was beating harder than ever.The tail thorn was still buried in her body, she moved her body and gently got rid of Alai's restraint.After ingesting the tail fluid for as long as two interstellar hours, she has been able to confirm that the pregnancy was successful.

The thin quilt was covered between her chest and knees, she reached out and slowly stroked her lower abdomen, feeling the throbbing and warm life there.It was her and Alai's child—she had done it to her friend from childhood, in a way that mixed temptation and threat.

As a king, what she lacks most is a sense of security.

She and her brother from the same mother turned against each other to the point of killing each other, let alone someone who was not related by blood.

Maybe this method is a little immature and despicable, but she will kill even a little bit of possible betrayal in the cradle.She wanted to force Alai to stand by her side through this way of establishing a blood relationship.

Suddenly, a sharp warning whistle sounded, pointing directly at the resting place.

Klein sat up almost immediately, she pulled her coat and put it on simply, ignoring Alai who was behind her and ran straight to the palace door.

She stood barefoot at the door and looked at the resting place in the distance, with a serious expression.

A soldier of the Guards ran to the bottom of the stairs to salute and reported: "Your Majesty, the test subject has escaped! We have detected the same isotope in the area near the resting place."

Klein did not hesitate: "The plan is advanced, all exits of the capital are closed, and the entire field of vision of the main star is blocked!"

"Obey!" The soldiers of the guards took the order and left.

Alai stood behind her and pressed her shoulder: "Klein, do you still want to go to the asylum?"

"I want it, and I'm going right away." Klein squeezed his coat tightly with his fingers, "I thought they would wait until tomorrow when I was here, but I didn't expect them to act in advance. Originally, when Qi Mo arrived there, he could help Our self-defense is a testimony, but now we can’t do it anymore, we must first ensure the safety of the General of the Star Federation’s lair in the East Ring.”

"I see." Alai nodded, "I'll go with you."

"No." Klein turned his head and looked at Alai seriously, "Commander Sanok, I order you to stay in the brood and make timely response according to the enemy's situation."

Alai exerted a little force on Klein's shoulder, but in the end, he chose to let go.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

……

Not long after Qi Mo entered the resting place, a person walked out from the shadow of the trees next to the black and white building.He went to the door and tried to enter there without leaving the ether, but was rejected by the door.

Lan Xiyu stepped back in silence and flashed back into the shadows again, took off the silver band that tied her hair and twisted it on her little finger: "Fuyue."

"exist."

"The troops preparing to mine the starstone are on standby, and the target is the main star."

"Boss, because the goal is to mine minerals, so this time most of our past fleets are logistics fleets, and their combat capabilities are very weak."

"We don't need to fight head-on, we just need to let them see Fei Ye going to battle." Lan Xiyu said, "They don't know about Fei Ye's sending troops, so they won't act rashly in the central area."

"...Leader, are you near the resting place now?" Fu Yue's voice suddenly became a little lower.

Lan Xiyu frowned: "What's wrong?"

"The troops stationed in the airspace of the central area just reported that the main star's field of vision has been blocked and controlled. Is there something wrong with you?" Fuyue speeded up her speech, "Is there any movement in the brood? I will let you know immediately. The garrison army sent a unit to meet you."

"No..." Lan Xiyu suddenly stopped in the middle of her words.

"leader?"

Communication was suddenly cut off.

A sharp thorn pierced the place where he was standing just now. If he hadn't reacted quickly, his shoulder should have been injured and bleeding at this moment.

Lan Xiyu looked forward coldly.

Standing in front of him was a young girl wearing a knee-length white skirt and a long hair ribbon on her head.A little yellowish liquid slipped off her exposed skin, like a newborn baby leaving its mother's body.

But what attracted Lan Xiyu's attention was not the girl herself, but the comprehensive ether behind her.

It was a swollen sea urchin, but what floated around the sea urchin were not soft tentacles, but long, sharp spines.The sharp thorn that attacked him just now was slowly withdrawing, and the sea urchin turned around to prepare for the next attack.

Lan Xiyu drew his gun and aimed at the girl and made a feint. Before the bullet was ejected, the sea urchin quickly stood in front of the girl and swelled even bigger. Injury self by all reflections.

He lowered his eyes slightly and walked out slowly from the shadow of the tree.

This time, he saw clearly the girl's transformed body—the fins combined with aquatic ether were hidden in the girl's elbows, and the strengthened sea urchin was more aggressive.

But... if you only strengthen the ether...

Lan Xiyu narrowed her eyes.

The swollen sea urchin suddenly shrank tightly as if being pinched by a giant palm.It struggled violently to get out of control, but was controlled by an invisible force and could not break free.

The girl hugged her body with trembling arms, squatting down as if forced by some force.There was no light in her eyes, and her whole figure was like a mechanical puppet with a broken thread.

"Erode", talent "erosion".As long as there is ether in the body of the person in front of him, no matter how powerful that person is, he will not be able to show his attacking posture in front of Lan Xiyu's talent.

He walked up to the girl.

Lan Xiyu didn't know her name, nor where she came from.He only saw that she was an experimental subject that was not completely successful, and even said that she was a "failed product" that was put on the table and tried.

The girl tried her best to resist the power of "corrosion" and wanted to raise her head.

"boom!"

The splashed blood drew an arc in the air, and the girl's movements stopped for a second.There was a clear bullet hole on her forehead, and as her body fell slowly, the sea urchin ether also turned into smoke and dissipated in the air.

Lan Xiyu continued to move forward, put the gun back into her waist.

He stopped near the main entrance of the resting place, and heard footsteps running in all directions.

Lan Xiyu sighed silently in her heart.

——Qi Mo should really be stopped.Otherwise, at this time, he would not have to worry about how to get rid of these guys, but could directly take Qi Mo out of this place of right and wrong.

Lan Xiyu looked up at the high resting place.

I don't know where Qi Mo is now.

Suddenly, Lan Xiyu's pupils tightened.

Under the radiance of the main star Shuangyue, a young man stood on the dome of the resting place.Zerg blade horns were implanted on his head, and there was a deadly and dangerous smell around him.

Lan Xiyu felt Qi Mo's anger at this moment—where did these experimental subjects come from?When did it start?How many more?

He looked up at the snow pompom placed in the box by the resting place. The little guy was isolated from the outside world and was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed.

Lan Xiyu drew his gun again with a cold face, aiming at the experimental subject standing on the top, close to the snow ball.

……

Before the fork in the road, Qi Mo chose the white one.

His heart subconsciously drove him in a warm and bright direction.

However, the deeper he went on the road, the more he found that, except for the white part where the footsteps were stepping on, the rest of the surrounding area was pitch black.

He was submerged in the darkness, and at the same time fell toward the darkness.

Finally, he stopped at the end of the darkness.

Qi Mo slowly opened his eyes.

In the darkness, it seemed like a drop of water had dizzy the ink pool, and faintly bright spots appeared.In that sporadic light, he saw an illusory painting.

A tall black gold stele stands on the ground, behind the stele is a bright red moon.The red moonlight created Fei Ye, and "Qi Mo" sat on the stone tablet as the owner, with the majestic sea of ​​stars where Hulan was stationed behind him.

He remembered that he seemed to have heard someone mention this stele somewhere.

By the way... When the leader Fei Ye who was burned to death was tortured in the Starry Sky Tower a few months ago, that person once mentioned Fei Ye's black gold monument.But he had never actually seen the stele, so it was impossible to imagine such a clear and real picture out of thin air.

He sat on Fei Ye's landmark?And still in the attitude of the owner?

There is nothing more ridiculous than this.

Not to mention whether Yehuang would allow this kind of thing to happen, he himself would not be willing to stay on the land of the rebels.

Qi Mo frowned - but this wasn't the most discordant feeling the picture gave him.

He stretched out his hand to touch it, but the illusory picture rippled and disappeared suddenly.Before it disappeared completely, Qi Mo finally realized what confuses him the most.

The "Qi Mo" in the picture occupies the Hulan residence alone, but there is no figure of Lan Xiyu on it.

The ominous premonition in his heart intensified, and finally he simply pulled out his sword and cut off the black water curtain.

The water curtain poured down, the blackness receded like a tide, and the light shone from the darkness—he saw something hidden in the mist.

It was a pure white field, and in an unreachable space, a huge tree with the thickness of ten people hugging each other appeared in front of him.

Qi Mo faintly sensed the abnormality of the entire resting place—just in Klein's understated tone, this place shouldn't be so complicated and dangerous.Otherwise, Klein would never agree to let him come alone.

As if sensing the approach of humans, the sacred tree stretched its branches and swayed gently in the absence of wind.

"It's the human who came to see me for the last time..." The deep voice sounded again.

Qi Mo walked a few meters away from the tree and stopped: "There has never been a record of the sacred tree speaking before."

"Hehe..." The branches swayed, "I'm about to die, so what if I talk about it for a while?"

Qi Mo frowned: "Why are you emphasizing that you are going to die?"

"My children are going to kill me. One Feng hopes to use me to bring down the current king, and the other hopes that I will no longer be an obstacle to her stable throne."

"You seem very relieved." Qi Mo's tone was cold.

"Paving the way to the Supreme Hall for my children is the most gratifying thing for me." The holy tree said slowly, "Human, why are you coming to see me? You should know what is about to happen here, right? .”

"Can't you see the past and the future?" Qi Mo stared at the trunk, "Then you should know why I am standing here. In addition, I don't believe in fate, so your prophecies don't matter to me." kick in."

"I hope you can maintain this point of view until the end." The holy tree stretched out a branch and handed it to Qi Mo, "Human, you'd better give me the stone on your body, or one day you will regret today's decision. "

The stone on the body?

Qi Mo frowned and thought for a moment before realizing that the tree might be referring to the Soul Deed Stone.

"I won't hand over the soul contract stone to you. Who knows which side you are on?" Qi Mo said, "If you really want to help me, maybe you can tell me the source of those experimental subjects."

"You don't trust me. Even if I tell you, you will only doubt the authenticity of my words. But I can tell you that your father is indeed still alive."

Qi Mo suddenly fell silent.

"He tampered with my memory."

"Do you want to know the real past?" The holy tree stretched out more and more branches and came to Qi Mo, with steaming voice in his voice, "Come on, give me the soul deed stone, that thing is not harmful to you profit."

Qi Mo slowly put his hand on the sword: "Why do you always mention the Soul Deed Stone to me?"

As soon as the words fell, countless branches stretched out from the holy tree suddenly attacked him.

Qi Mo instantly drew his sword and cut off all those branches!

He jumped back and stared at the holy tree sharply: "It turns out that the most dangerous is not Toke's troops, but you."

The holy tree didn't speak any more, and its huge body instantly swelled several times, and it was dyed with golden light everywhere.Its branches grow sharp spikes, and some of them are twisted into ropes that soften and dance in the air.

Those who are accustomed to sitting at the top are already immersed in the admiration and admiration of others, and they cannot accept the ending of falling from the top of the cloud or even death.

It saw the ending, but it was not reconciled.

Ambition is not built in a day. Once you have tasted the sweet fruit, you will want more.

Survival is the foundation, and greed is the nature.

Since Klein can think of "the only king", why can't the holy tree expect "the only faith"?
