The cells on both sides of the narrow corridor were empty, and a cold wind was blowing everywhere. Every ten meters or so, there was a tall warden standing guard. When he brushed past them, Klodo took a few glances. His pupils shrank slightly when he saw the indifferent and emotionless eyes.
Silence, a deathly silence!
This prison was like a dead zone. He couldn't feel the warmth of a living person!
"Where are the prisoners that were brought in?" Klot felt a chill in his heart. He followed behind Yarlin and the marine with the rank of lieutenant colonel. Only their footsteps echoed in the prison.
"This prison isn't a dead zone. It's alive!" If Lippa could know what Klot was thinking, he would definitely sneer and answer him like that.
After staying in a dark environment for so long, Lippa's entire person exuded a gloomy aura from inside out. His understanding and adherence to justice had also quietly changed. After all, as a person who began to feel apathetic to life, his worldview and mentality had already begun to distort.
"Do you want to go in?" Lippa stopped at the innermost cell and reached out to open the lock. He seemed to be asking Yarlin, but in fact, his eyes were faintly looking at Klot.
Klot looked at Lippa in confusion. He felt that the other party's eyes were full of deep meaning. This person gave him a very bad feeling. He was lifeless like a living dead person who stayed in a group of corpses.
"Of course, show Klot around," Yarlin said.
"My name is Lippa!" Lippa pushed open the cell door, turned his head and glanced at Klot. He added in his heart, "Hey, if you can survive, you'll probably have to stay with me."
"Klot!"
Klot spat out his name. His eyes suspiciously looked at the narrow and cramped cell. He didn't know what was there to see. Then he saw Lippa walk over to the metal bed and lift up the metal plate below. A dark hole that looked like a monster's slowly opening mouth was revealed in his vision.
"What is this?" Klaus felt a chill in his heart. The layer of black fungus on the ground was clearly alive.
Lippa gritted his teeth and walked in front. His body seemed to have sunk into a quagmire as he slowly sank into the black hole and disappeared. Yarlin glanced at Klaus and said indifferently, "Keep up!"
Klaur took a deep breath and suppressed the fear in his heart. When he stepped into the black hole, it was as if he was stepping on a slippery living thing. The living thing supported his weight as it slowly sank into the darkness. The fungus blanket above slowly closed, and no light could penetrate it.
It was as if he was passing through the tunnel of some creature, or as if he was sinking into a dark tunnel deep underground. After an unknown amount of time, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a terrifying and enormous nest appeared in front of him.
"Welcome to the broodmother!" Yarlin answered the question in Klaus' heart. "This is my biggest secret. You're the second person who has the honor of visiting this place!"
"Broodmother!" This was the first time Lippa had heard the true name of this prison.
"Broodmother!" Klaus was shocked. His biological instincts made him shudder inexplicably when facing this strange nest. It was as if a lowly reptile had accidentally intruded into the nest of a monster at the top of the food chain.
Subconsciously adjusting his spectacles, Klaus squeezed out a bitter smile and asked, "What's a broodmother?"
"It's the literal meaning. If you want to know where it came from?" Yarlin and the rest were still being supported as they moved forward into the labyrinth of tunnels inside the broodmother. He slowly turned his body and grinned, revealing his white teeth. "Oh, if I say it's a part of my body, would you believe me?"
Who are you trying to fool?
Lippa and Klaus both had such expressions. They thought Yarlin wasn't willing to say more and didn't pursue the matter. However, they didn't think that this might be the truth of the matter.
The truth was always not believed by others. This could be Yarlin's frustration ….
As they traversed through the labyrinth, Klaus' heart was filled with shock and horror. His normal world view made it impossible for him to guess what this strange and gigantic nest was. Instead, he felt a chill creeping in from all directions and the creeping fungus carpet. Occasionally, roots flowed through the fungus carpet like roots, causing his hair to stand on end.
"This nest is alive!"
The limited information was pieced together in his mind, and Krow came up with an absurd and horrifying answer. He could not believe that such a large and intricate nest could be a living thing. The three of them were now walking in the esophagus of some kind of monster. Once the nest woke up, what would be waiting for them?
Would they be devoured and decomposed into nutrients?
In any case, he didn't believe Yarlin's words. However, he could only brace himself and follow. At least from the looks of it, Yarlin was connected to the broodmother. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to reach such depths unscathed. Furthermore, the fungus carpet beneath their feet was guiding them.
Apart from horror, there was also a restlessness that he couldn't explain. Curiosity and spying, or perhaps something else, caused his eyes to shine brighter and brighter.
"We're here!" Lippa swallowed his saliva, his voice trembling unconsciously. Even though this wasn't the first time he came to the broodmother's core, his heart would still tremble intensely every time.
Klaur carefully observed the area before him. It was a spacious black area covered in a carpet of fungus. The surrounding area was overflowing with dark colors. The tree roots that he occasionally saw on the way here were indeed everywhere here. They were like blood vessels that were embedded in the surface of the body and spread out in the carpet of fungus.
"Danger, extreme danger!"
A strong sense of vigilance welled up in his heart. Klaus's inner intuition was even stronger. He felt as if there was a cold and strange gaze staring at him from the darkness. Once he made any move that was perceived as a threat, the monster in the darkness would suddenly reveal its face and kill him immediately. Although he didn't think that he could pose any threat to such a behemoth, perhaps he could only scratch an itch?
"Aren't you curious about where the pirates who were locked up in prison went?" Yarlin narrowed his eyes. Standing in the broodmother's core, he was like the king of his own kingdom. He looked at Klaus and said in a chilling tone, "They're all here!"
Snap!
Amidst the crisp sound of fingers snapping, strange holes appeared on the ground, and the things hidden below were exposed. There was a huge Biochemical Pool, and countless Conversion Chambers that were connected together like neatly arranged coffins.
Drip … Drip … Drip …
Liquid slowly poured into the biochemical pool. The milky white liquid always reminded people of the tissue fluid in the human body. Klaus looked at the densely packed conversion chambers in front of him with incomparable shock. Then, he saw the 'coffin doors' open one by one …
