Dean came to the passage outside the cave. He picked a few sturdy giant worms and strung them with a knife. These giant worms were still gently struggling. They hadn't died yet. Their vitality was tenacious.
Dean wiped them clean and sliced them. Each slice was as thin as a piece of bacon. He handed it to Aisha.
Amelie, who was sitting on the opposite side, watched this scene nervously until Haisha opened her red lips slightly and put the piece of wild worm meat in her mouth. She chewed and swallowed it, and then heaved a sigh of relief.
If she didn't eat the worm, it would eat her.
Dean stopped after feeding her a piece. He carefully watched her changes. After all, being willing to eat and being able to eat were two different things. Aisha didn't have the bloodline of the Aragami. It was hard to guarantee that nothing would happen to her.
After a few hours of observation, Aisha was still sitting quietly without any reaction. Dean touched her hands and feet. Her temperature didn't change. He couldn't help but wonder if the amount wasn't enough?
He fed her a few more pieces. At this time, he also felt hungry. He rummaged through the backpack. The dry food inside had been eaten up. There were only two bottles of high-purity water left. He could only drink a few mouthfuls of water to alleviate his hunger. He glanced at Amelie.
Amelie's body trembled. She felt like a little sheep being bitten by a viper. She would be entangled and swallowed at any time. Her heart was sad. Was she going to become Dean's food? Was there any meaning to his sacrifice?
She curled up and bent her head down, and brooded sorrowfully.
Dean didn't know day and night in the dark cave. After a few hours, Dean saw that Aisha still didn't have any reaction. His heart was relieved for the time being. At least the worm wouldn't have any adverse effect on her. As for strengthening her physique, Dean didn't dare to ask for extravagant hopes. As long as it could help her recover from her injuries as soon as possible. After all, it was inevitable that there would be a bitter fight when they left the Earth Dragon Cave. He wasn't afraid of the great priest's own strength. But he was afraid that she would use some high-tech weapons such as laser guns.
His eyes flashed a trace of coldness as he thought of this.
"When I leave, should I take you with me or leave you here?" Dean rested next to Aisha while talking to Amelie.
Hearing this, Amili's body trembled slightly. Without raising her head, she said in a low voice, "If you don't bring me out, you won't be able to leave."
"So you're willing to be my hostage?"
"I'm just reminding you out of goodwill," Amelie said calmly, holding back her anger.
"So you know what they'll do to me outside?" Dean looked at her: "Do you think it's a good idea to use you as a hostage? Look at you. You are so young and haven't seen the outside world. Will your people remember your contributions once they migrate to the God's Wall?"
Amelie's expression changed slightly. She raised her head and glared at him angrily. "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Nonsense?" Dean indifferently said: "I don't think so. Do you think that I'll deceive you? In fact, from the start, I wanted to tell you the location of the divine wall so that you could move there. Unfortunately, you didn't believe me, and things have escalated to this point. Don't question why I'm being so kind. In fact, strictly speaking, I'm not being kind. It's just that as a person of the divine wall, I don't think that outsiders invading my homeland is a kind of invasion. Therefore, I welcome you all to come. After all, there is strength in numbers, right? "
"If you migrate to the wall it will only promote the prosperity and development of the wall. So why wouldn't I be happy? Unfortunately you've been here for a long time. The local resources are scarce so you think that other places are the same. I'm sorry to tell you that the wall can feed tens of millions of people. It's self-sufficient so you don't have to worry about resources. As long as you are diligent you will have food. "Dean said confidently.
Amelie was in a trance. She knew some of the situation inside the wall from the secrets of the clan. Dean's words not only included what she knew but also the environment inside the wall. She slowly recovered and looked at Dean: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"I've said it from the beginning but trust is mutual. I don't believe you. You don't have the conditions and are so barren and desolate. But you still don't believe me. To be honest, what is there to conspire about? Even if there is, isn't it worth it to use your things in exchange for the future of the clan? Unfortunately, you followed a foolish leader … "Dudian shrugged.
Amelie's face slightly changed: "Don't say bad things about the great priest!"
Dean glanced at her: "Although I don't know how she will deal with me. Maybe she will kill me together with you so that I won't return to the wall and bring more people to attack you. But her worries are unnecessary. Because of this she will put you in vain. In any case I will tell her the coordinates of the wall. I hope she won't be so stubborn."
Amelie's eyes flickered.
Dean saw that her mind was stirred. He knew that his goal had been achieved. He didn't say much but looked around. There was nothing here except for the remains of the Aragami. There was no excrement produced by the worms. It made him feel strange. Did they only eat and didn't vomit? Soon he thought of another thing: "Didn't you know that these worms are so afraid of fire?"
Amelie frowned as she heard the trace of contempt in Dean's tone: "Of course we know. More than two hundred years ago our villagers came here with torches and torches. They used the flames to kill the worms. But later the appearance of the flames alarmed the monster in the deepest part of the cave. That monster is the crystal worm we just met. It killed all the people who entered the cave."
"Later on no one dared to light a fire after entering the cave. There were several times when someone accidentally lit a fire. It alarmed the worm and brought more trouble. So we made a rule that no one is allowed to bring a fire when entering the cave."
Dean suddenly realized that the flames would alarm the crystal worm. No wonder they didn't use fire to attack even though they knew that there was such a big weakness. Indeed, with the strength of the villagers, even if they brought torches they would be dead if they encountered the worm. The scene of the crystal worm freezing the flames was still fresh in his mind.
This scene violated the scientific concept in his heart. It was incredible that the flames were frozen. But when his chest was frozen, he felt a trace of strangeness. Although the temperature of the white gas was extremely low, but it couldn't freeze the flames. It was like a sticky net that wrapped the flames. He didn't know how to describe it. It was an attack that he had never seen before. It seemed to be freezing, but it wasn't.
He even suspected that the crystal worm wasn't a creature from the earth. It was one of the monsters that appeared during the doomsday!
Dean pondered for a long time but still couldn't find the answer. After a long time, Dean thought of another thing and asked Amelie: "Did you put the remains of the Aragami here?"
Amelie looked at the huge remains of the Aragami and shook her head: "Our ancestors put it here. Unfortunately, the worms invaded and occupied this place. So we couldn't enter."
"Where did these worms come from?"
"I don't know. They suddenly appeared one day."
"Suddenly appeared?" Dean frowned. He felt that there were many doubtful points in her words. He asked again: "You are the offspring of the Aragami. Since the worm likes your blood then it should also like the corpse of the Aragami. So why is it still intact?"
Amelie looked at him and said: "The Aragami is the supreme god. After death, no worm can invade them. What's so strange about that?"
Dean was speechless. Was she trying to use myths to explain the science?
Since he couldn't get an answer from Amelie, he didn't bother to ask anymore. With Amelie's age, she probably didn't know much. All the secrets should be hidden in the old woman's mind. Unfortunately, he couldn't pry her mouth open.
Suddenly, he thought of something and asked: "How would you migrate to the wall if I told you the coordinates of the wall? It's far away. Even if I came alone, I almost died several times. There are so many of you. What's the difference between you and the fireflies in the wild? Wouldn't you die faster if you go out?"
Amelie knew that Dean was trying to get information from her. She lowered her head and ignored him.
Dean saw that she didn't say anything, so his eyes turned: "Do you have something that can safely send all of you to a faraway place? Shouldn't it be a large object? Don't tell me it's the thing above your village? "
Amelie was shocked. She didn't expect Dean to guess it.
Dean's eyes lit up as he saw her trembling body. He didn't think that he would guess it right.
The village was illuminated by lights which indicated that there was an energy source. From the size and breadth of the light inlaid, Dean had long suspected that there was a large aircraft above the village. From the remains of the Aragami, it could be inferred that the aircraft wasn't made by the earth. It could be the spaceship of the aliens that invaded the earth! If that was the case, then Amelie obviously had the authority to control the spaceship!
"It seems that the harvest is bigger than I imagined." Dean's eyes lit up. The value of an alien aircraft was much higher than the remains of the Aragami. Moreover, the aircraft had energy!
