Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 604 Dream Eater Tapir

It may be to prevent small animals such as flying insects from entering indiscriminately. The passage is deliberately designed to bend and bend, and there is no law at all.

The plants created by Kong Zhe with the power of the stars are not infinitely stretchable, and if they are too far away from him, they will lose contact with the plants.

Following the fat man's bubbles, he walked through the dark passage for nearly 10 minutes. Just when Kong Zhe was about to lose his hold, he finally felt a ray of light coming from ahead.

"It's the end!"

Kong Zhe was refreshed, and hurriedly urged the branches to extend towards the bright place.

However, when I got closer, I found that this is not the end of the pipeline, but there is a small break in the pipeline, so the light from the outside can be revealed.

But since there is already light, it means that the end is definitely not far away.

Kong Zhe controlled the branch to protrude from the hole. The buds at the top of the branch grew rapidly and unfolded, revealing an eyeball, turning around, looking around, and sending what it saw back to Kong Zhe's mind. middle.

What came into view was an empty cave, with more than a dozen torches on the wall illuminating the deep cave.There are forty or fifty rabbitmen in this cave at the moment, except for a few rabbitmen standing guard at the entrance of the cave, the rest of the rabbitmen are busy with their own affairs.

Kong Zhe noticed at a glance the dozens of iron barrels stacked by the wall, which were full of white and black fruits.

In addition, there is an old rabbit person standing out in the center of the entire hole.

The rabbit man had a long beard, was wearing a large mage robe, and was holding a staff in his hand. He set up a cauldron in front of him, and the raging flames burned the brown rice in the cauldron. The green liquid boiled, bubbling and bubbling from time to time.

The rabbit man chanted strange sentences, and kept jumping around the cauldron.

Escalators were placed on both sides of the cauldron, and more than a dozen rabbit men and women lined up on both sides.

Every time the old rabbitman swung his staff, a rabbitman or a rabbit girl would take off her clothes, reveal her white fur, climb up the escalator to the top of the cauldron, and then jump down without fear.

Although I don't know what the liquid in the pot is, but just by the way it keeps bubbling, I can tell that the temperature is comparable to that of a frying pan. Kong Zheguang's scalp tingles when he looks at it, but after those rabbitmen jump in, not only will there be no harm. Screaming, but showing a relief-like expression.

However, this is not the most important thing. What really made Kong Zhe's eyes widen was that after those rabbitmen jumped into the pot, after about ten seconds, they would spit out a few fruits from the small mouth under the cauldron. Fall into the two iron buckets below.The bunny man drops black fruit, and the rabbit girl drops white fruit.

Kong Zhe suddenly felt a little nauseous, the fruits they ate were all produced with the flesh and blood of these rabbitmen!

But then he realized another problem, according to the rabbitman's way of death, shouldn't the rabbitman on this island die long ago?How come there are so many?

Kong Zhe's doubts soon found the answer in this cave.In the southwest corner of the cave, there is a specially cultivated vegetable field.There are plenty of radishes planted inside.

Or... It couldn't be called a radish either. Except for the cluster of white branches and leaves at the top, the part of the radish protruding from the ground was comparable to the size of a basketball. He had never seen such a big radish.

These radishes grow very fast. Kong Zhe watched a small sprout grow up at a speed visible to the naked eye. It became a normal plant size in just half a minute. At this speed, it may be directly harvested overnight. .

Several rabbitmen were also patrolling around the vegetable field, and when they saw that the radishes had fully grown, they would dig through the surrounding soil and pull out the radishes.

The part of the radish buried under the soil is much larger than it looks, and even with the muscle strength of the rabbitmen, it takes two rabbitmen to pull it out.

Then, what they pulled out was not a radish, no, it should be said that it looked like a radish, but this 1.5-meter-long radish began to change rapidly as soon as it came into contact with the air. A cluster of white leaves jumped apart, turning into two long rabbits.

In just ten seconds, this carrot completely transformed into a rabbitman with strong muscles.After the rabbitman appeared, he shook off the dirt on his fur, then walked to the cauldron, picked up the clothes dropped by the rabbitman who had just jumped into the cauldron, and put them on himself. bunny man.

Kong Zhe looked at this scene solemnly. These rabbitmen seemed to have enough knowledge or memory just after they were born. After putting on their clothes, they immediately went to work, and their words and deeds did not feel any jerky.

No wonder he hasn't seen the rabbitmen eating in the past two days. It seems that the lifespan of these rabbitmen is not very long. From planting radishes to growing into rabbitmen, the rabbitmen may only work for a few days, or even only work for a day. These rabbitmen have already aged, and then jumped into the pot and turned into fruit that can make people dream. The number of people maintains a balance.

Kong Zhe controlled the branches to retract into the passage. He had seen the rabbitman's way of life clearly, and now there was only one last question left: What are those dream bubbles for?
The rabbitman's birth to death is indeed a precise cycle, and the precision is a little too much, it's almost like someone is manipulating it behind the scenes.

This whole cycle has no meaning for the race of rabbitmen. At least according to the information that Kong Zhe has obtained now, the rabbitmen are just constantly being born, working and then dying. They don’t even consume food. There is no benefit to them, which obviously does not make sense. It is impossible for any race to be willing to turn its entire life into a puppet of work.They must have gotten something in this cycle.

And when it comes to the products created by their work, it is undoubtedly the bubbles produced by human dreams.

At first, Kong Zhe thought that these bunny people depended on air bubbles to survive, but now it seems that it is obviously not the case, they don't even need to eat, so where did these air bubbles go in the end?
In the pipeline, clusters of white bubbles poured in, and the speed of production seemed to be stronger than before. Kong Zhe controlled the branches to follow the trajectory of the bubbles.The distance this time was very short, only a dozen meters away, and after two consecutive turns, Kong Zhe finally saw the entrance of the cave.

This time it's the real hole.

The branch poked its head out of the hole quietly, and its eyes rolled quickly, looking at the surrounding environment.

This should still belong to the cave just now, but because it is located in a hidden corner, Kong Zhe didn't find it just now.

On the opposite side of the pipe opening, there is another pipe, and the two pipes are separated by a barbed wire.

From the mouth of the pipe on the opposite side, clusters of black air bubbles gushed out continuously.

The air bubbles on both sides continued to gather at the mouth of the pipe, until the number accumulated to a certain level, with enough buoyancy, a group of air bubbles on both sides flew upwards, passed through the barbed wire, and merged in front of a smooth stone wall.

The black and white bubbles gradually merged into a large group of gray bubbles. Just when Kong Zhe wanted to control the plants to see clearly, a big mouth suddenly opened on the stone wall and swallowed the bubbles in front of him in one gulp.

"what?"

Kong Zhe's eyes widened, and he moved closer subconsciously.As another group of gray bubbles formed, the mountain wall opened its mouth again to swallow the bubbles.

Kong Zhe was sure this time, he read it right, he really ate it.The mountain wall is like a human face, and it is still chewing and swallowing after eating and soaking.

"This... this stone is actually alive?"

Kong Zhe was surprised, he obviously didn't feel any breath of life from these rocks, but the mountain wall in front of him was indeed doing movements that only living beings could make.

what is the problem?

"what?"

At this time, Suzanne's voice came, with obvious doubts in the voice.

Kong Zhe was taken aback, Suzanne resided in his consciousness, and he could see what he saw through his spirit.

Kong Zhe knew that Susanna was much more knowledgeable than him, so he hurriedly asked, "What? Do you know her? What is this?"

"No, it's not that I know each other... Hehe, so it's so... Interesting!"

Susanna murmured, as if she had figured something out, she suddenly laughed.

Seeing that Kong Zhe still had a confused expression on his face, Susanna explained: "There are not many things that feed on dreams in this world. Dreams seem to be illusory, but they contain the most original wishes and thoughts of living beings. The energy on the spiritual level can indeed be used as food, but it is definitely not easy to digest, and it will eat itself back if it is not done well. What's more, it eats the two most extreme dreams of human beings. Among the creatures I know, There's only one way to do what's in front of you."

"What creature?"

"Nightmare-eating tapir!"

Susanna spit out a word that was not unfamiliar.

Kong Zhe was stunned. As for the dream-eating tapir, he had heard the name in some ancient myths and legends.But... that's a legend on Earth, right? Is it the same thing that Susanna was talking about?

As if sensing the doubts in his heart, Susanna smiled: "It's not the kind on your earth. The dream-eating tapir I'm talking about refers to an ancient mythical beast on the World of Warcraft, which existed tens of thousands of years ago... But since there is some connection between the World of Warcraft and the earth, maybe the legends on your earth are the evolution of the World of Warcraft."

Susanna shook her head, and her tone became more solemn: "Anyway, I'm afraid there is only one explanation for the current situation, and if this is really a nightmare, then you have to be careful, this kind of creature is very scary , Even a young nightmare-eating tapir has strength beyond that of legendary heroes, not to mention an adult, it can make you sleep forever forever if it just blows at you."
