Hao Ren was a little surprised that Noobie had suddenly revealed a new talent, but not to the extent that it was unbelievable. What could be more unbelievable than Noobie's existence? A Malevolence with a muddled brain, Raven 12345's teachings for more than a month, and inextricably linked to Vivian. Hao Ren would not be surprised if Noobie suddenly transformed into a 100,000-volt electric mouse with a lightning tail in front of everyone.
Hao Ren and Vivian had studied Noobie's attributes as a summoning unit and identified three characteristics of Noobie. The first was that she was still a Noobie. Even if she had established a deeper connection with Vivian, her biggest move was still biubiubiu. The second characteristic was that Noobie was as brainless as usual. She would not listen to any instructions except for feeding. The third characteristic was better than the first two. If Noobie reintegrated into Vivian's body, her scent would be completely concealed. It was a useless setting, but at least not as annoying as the first and second characteristics.
"Argh!" Noobie was impatient. When she realized that Hao Ren was not going to feed her, she quickly showed signs of resistance. She screamed threateningly before turning back into a cloud of blood mist and returned to Vivian's body.
"She is a little angry," Vivian said with a shrug. "I can feel that she is a little frustrated because she thinks that she should be able to scare you."
"She already has such a complex emotional response?" Hao Ren looked at Vivian in surprise, and then he was even more surprised. "You can feel her emotions?"
"I can feel it when I return to my body. It's a vague and subtle feeling, as if some of her emotions are being shared," Vivian said with a frown. "It's a little like when I first absorbed the Malevolence into my body, but there is no sense of 'digestion and absorption.' Noobie is still a completely independent individual. It's incredible. She is really growing. "
Hao Ren thought for a moment. "In my opinion, this is mostly a good sign. Maybe we can see this little one saying good morning to everyone when we wake up. "
"Let's hope that day comes." Vivian smiled and turned her attention back to the book in her hand.
She was reading an old book that looked like a hero's biography. The book was placed on the same level as other folk history books. It was obviously not a verified biography, but some kind of heroic novel that was a mixture of legends, myths, exaggerations, and embellishments. But the more such a thing was, the easier it was for the content to be connected to the infamous dangerous places that ordinary people could not come into contact with. such as the Great Pit.
Of course, the information found in this kind of book must be very different from reality, and it was unreliable to use it as a source of information. But for Hao Ren, his priority now was not to find out the truth of the official history, but to at least understand the concept of the Great Pit and the like.
This was the seventh book that Vivian had picked up. The book mentioned many places and seemingly famous historical events, of course, including the Great Pit. In fact, it was easier than Hao Ren expected to find written information about the Great Pit in this library. Almost all the history, geography books, and a considerable number of heroic biographies had related words.
The Great Pit seemed to be a famous place. Historians and geographers had solemnly recorded it in their books with awe, and heroes throughout the ages were particularly fond of exploring the Great Pit. Just like most fantasy stories' protagonists had to kill a dragon (of course, some had recently proposed to a dragon) before they could claim to be protagonists, in the legends of this world, the basic requirement to become a hero was to go to the Great Pit and explore it.
But Hao Ren could easily see through the phenomenon.
The more the protagonists took turns to defeat something in the novel, the more daunting the corresponding prototype would be in reality. For example, 90% of the brave men would become barbecued meat when they challenged a dragon. In this world, few people would dare to enter the Great Pit. It was definitely a dangerous place.
"According to the records in these books," Lily picked out all the books about the Great Pit and placed them on the table, one by one, along with other useful information found by others, "The Great Pit does not refer to a mine or a specific underground cave, but a group of underground pores that spreads across the entire continent and may even extend into the endless ocean."
Vivian also said what she had concluded. "Under this continent called L 'Haronne, there are countless crisscrossing holes, like a beehive. That is the Great Pit. Their distribution is not uniform, and their depth is not constant. In the fertile land of the east of the mainland, the Great Pit was buried so deep that the locals were almost unaffected by it. However, in the extreme north, within the scope of the ten ancient kingdoms of the north, the Great Pit was very close to the surface. It was said that some shallow tunnels were directly connected to the human mining tunnels. Occasionally, there would be terrible accidents of miners falling into the Great Pit when they dug through the 'rock top' when they were mining. It is also because of this that the north of the continent is now the most desolate place in the world. It is too unsuitable for human survival. "
Y 'zaks chimed in. "The Great Pit is a terrible thing in this world because it is not only filled with highly toxic or corrosive gases, but there are also monsters coming out of it from time to time. There are also some strange things that humans can't understand and can't fight. I found an unofficial history book that recorded that a kingdom in the north had to dig an underground shelter because of the war, but accidentally dug through the rock roof of the Great Pit. As a result, a shadow of nothingness came out of the ground, and the whole kingdom, along with all the invading armies, was swallowed by the night. When the next morning came, the kingdom became a whole black forest. The place seems to be very famous even now. It is said that almost no one who went in came out alive. "
When Hao Ren heard Lily and Vivian's description, he could not help but think of the First Born living in the depths of the planet. When he heard the words "the kingdom was swallowed by the black forest" and "incomprehensible and undefeatable strange things", he was even more convinced. He frowned. "It is a very familiar situation. A big hole in the ground, and monsters coming out of the hole. Is this another First Born?"
"I don't think so," Vivian said. "First of all, this is the Umbral Realm, near the divine kingdom of the goddess of creation. Let's not talk about why this place is like this. In short, the address can't be wrong. According to the information we have, the goddess of creation did not plant the Seed of Origin so close to the divine kingdom. Those seeds were used when she explored the deep space, and they were scattered far away. So, there should be no First Born in the Umbral Realm. Secondly, we have found a lot of information about the Great Pit, but there is no mention of the First Born. Whether it is the huge tentacles buried in the ground, the beating organs in the cave, or the lifeblood, there is no mention of it. The First Born can't be hidden. It is so huge, and it moves under the crust of the entire planet. It is impossible that there is no trace of it, right? "
Vivian's words made sense. Hao Ren could not help but nod in agreement. "So, what else did you find? Anything about the Great Pit? "
"Yes, a scholar named Ronzel wrote a book dedicated to the Great Pit. Although it seems that his research results are not recognized in the relevant field, he still mentioned a lot of interesting discoveries." Nangong Sanba held up an old book he found. "The scholar claimed that he once followed a mysterious old man to practice the druid path, and during a process of communicating with the spirit of nature, his soul left his body and strayed into the Great Pit. He said that he saw a lot of man-made traces in the Great Pit, including ancient writings, relics, and even magnificent ancient ruins. So, he thought that the Great Pit was actually a refuge built by the civilization of the last era to avoid the 'natural disaster on earth.' The reason why the Great Pit was spread all over the world was that the ancient civilization was extremely developed and was able to build such a miracle. The monsters coming out of the Great Pit may be the guards left by the ancient civilization, or even the ancient humans who had mutated and gone crazy underground. "
Speaking of this, Y 'zaks could not help but laugh. "This imaginative scholar even calculated the scale of the' natural disaster on earth 'encountered by the ancient civilization based on the damage of the monsters and toxic substances coming out of the Great Pit. In the second half of the book, he also discussed in detail the evacuation plan of a contemporary civilization that encountered the same natural disaster."
Lily, who had been listening attentively since the beginning, could not help but interrupt, "Hey, hey, hey, this setting is super exciting!"
"Exciting doesn't necessarily mean persuasive," Y 'zaks said, shaking his head. "Although this' scholar 'has a good imagination, unfortunately, four-fifths of his book is full of conjectures and legends. In the only cited part, he even cited a fairy tale. This led to almost everyone criticizing his theory, and even his book was classified as an absurd novel."
"But based on our vision and the information we have, his conjecture is not unreasonable." Hao Ren looked at everyone and said seriously, "This world fell here with the divine kingdom of the goddess of creation. So, the ancient civilization and the natural disaster on earth mentioned by the scholar named Ronzel are likely to be true. The conjecture that the Great Pit was the refuge of the ancient civilization may also be true. If the civilization of the last generation of this world really escaped the impact of the explosion of the divine kingdom by relying on some kind of underground facility and rebuilt today's ecosystem on the surface, then many things can be explained."
Vivian nodded. "A lousy scholar, but a keen intuition. This kind of thing is not uncommon. Perhaps this Ronzel is just not good at writing a convincing thesis."
Lily picked up the book that Y 'zaks brought and waved it in the air. "If what this book says is true, the so-called Great Pit is worth exploring."
