"Yes." Baimiya nodded and looked at his eyes with a surprised expression. She pointed at the Mechanical Ancient Tree and asked, "You don't mean …"
"I'm not sure. We'll have to try to find out." Li Xiang pressed his hand on the Mechanical Ancient Tree, and the golden gears in his eyes spun at high speed. Ever since his Machinery Mastery evolved, his perception and control of mechanical devices had become stronger.
After a while, the Mechanical Ancient Tree resonated with him. It was an irresistible response. Li Xiang could feel that ever since the Mechanical Ancient Tree was modified into this form, its consciousness had begun to gradually disappear. Now, it was almost only left with hunting instincts and mechanical operations.
Li Xiang sighed. Under his communication, the trunk of the Mechanical Ancient Tree slowly opened up a hole the size of a person. "Kacha Kacha" mechanical sounds could be heard from inside.
Li Xiang looked at Baimiya. She nodded and turned to Bai Jiaqi. "It should be the place you want to go."
"Leave some of your people here. Pick a few who can fight and follow us in."
Bai Jiaqi nodded. Although she did not know where the two wanted to go through this passage, the place Baimiya wanted to go must be dangerous. Those who were not strong enough would be courting death if they followed.
He immediately started making arrangements. In the end, he decided to only bring Alice and two other trial takers with decent strength. These trial takers were all members of the upper clans that were subordinate to the sixteenth branch family. Their families and clans had an inseparable relationship with the sixteenth branch family, so there was no need to worry about them rebelling.
The few of them went into the tree hole. There was another world inside the tree hole. After the mechanical tracks sent them to the end, their field of vision instantly widened.
[Warning! Trial takers have entered a forbidden area. Please leave immediately!]
The Goddess of Disaster's warning made the two of them even more certain that they had come to the right place. After the warning sounded three times, it stopped.
Bai Jiaqi and the others' faces changed slightly. Seeing Li Xiang and Baimiya unmoved, they could only bite the bullet and follow them.
"It looks like we don't have to spend so much effort looking for those xenogeneics." Baimiya looked up at the sky. There was a black hexahedron hanging upside down in the sky, but the upper and lower parts were separated. The middle was connected by a heavy chain. Above the hexahedron, there was also a huge mechanical clock. The hands on the clock were jumping around in a disorderly manner. It was different from the clock in their impression.
"What do you mean?" Li Xiang looked around. This was a mechanical city. There were all kinds of mechanical devices everywhere. In the past, such a highly mechanized city would be a high-end district filled with all kinds of nobles. However, this place was very empty. Other than them, there was no one else.
"Do you see that black hexahedron at the top?" Baimiya pointed at the strange building floating in the air. "That is where the xenogeneics are kept. The clock at the top is a clock that records the evolution of the xenogeneics. When it's time, we have to send them food. "
"Food?" Li Xiang looked at her in confusion. He seemed to understand.
"Yes." Baimiya's eyes showed a hint of excitement and fanaticism. "To raise the xenogeneics, we have to provide them with enough food. And that food is the same violent hunting xenogeneics. I said earlier that although the research on xenogeneics has always been taboo, it has never been interrupted over the years, and it has been quite effective. Why is it not changed and still exists? There must be a big shot behind it. Wessex is one of them, but this is not the only big shot behind this taboo experiment. "
"This is human." Baimiya licked her lips. She was not afraid of such a secret and exposed it in front of them.
Li Xiang and Bai Jiaqi were fine, but after Alice and the others heard it, their faces changed slightly, and they were silent.
Human xenogeneics had always been the source of fear in many people's hearts. Once those who failed the experiment went out of control, that area would be greatly affected. Even if someone from the Magic Association came to take care of it, the damage would be irreparable.
Alice's hometown was destroyed by a xenogeneic magic apprentice. Since then, she and her sister had been wandering around. In the end, the airship encountered an astral vortex and ended up in District 1 of the Subcontinent District.
Speaking of human xenogeneics, Li Xiang remembered Gui Wuqi and his son in the Black City. They seemed to have signed some kind of contract with a xenogeneic and were given flesh and blood to partially turn into xenogeneics.
In terms of strength, they had indeed improved by leaps and bounds. However, their inhuman and ghostly appearance was still fresh in people's minds.
Crimson Moon also mentioned that the so-called xenogeneics were nothing more than forcibly transplanting the flesh and blood of xenogeneics into the human body. The flesh and blood of xenogeneics had strong parasitic and devouring abilities. Over time, the chances of the body being assimilated by the xenogeneics were very high. Speaking of which, it was just a way for the xenogeneics to increase their mobile food storage.
Even so, many people still flocked to it, wanting to use it to enhance their strength.
He just didn't expect that there would be people who would openly raise xenogeneics and conduct such inhumane experiments.
Production of mechanical creatures, breeding of xenogeneics … All kinds of shocking things popped up in Li Xiang's mind. All of them had something to do with Wessex. Was the legendary number one machine man really what he appeared to be?
If those things had something to do with him, then …
Li Xiang didn't dare to think further. If someone who had mastered the most cutting-edge technology turned out to be a lunatic, it would be a disaster for the entire human race. He hoped that he was overthinking things.
"How do we get close to that building?" What Li Xiang needed at the moment was a large number of credit points. Xenogeneics or xenogeneics were good, as long as they could provide him with credit points.
Bai Jiaqi and the others could vaguely guess what those two were thinking. They didn't feel good.
"That's easy. Let's mix in with the xenogeneics and then we can go in as' food. '" Baimiya answered without hesitation. The idea was crazy, but it was quite reasonable.
Bai Jiaqi was shocked. Was this lady really going to mix in to hunt xenogeneics?
Those were xenogeneics. Ordinary xenogeneics would require a few experienced magic apprentices to deal with. It was an enemy that he didn't even dare to think about!
He couldn't sit still anymore and quickly interrupted, "We, we don't have to follow them. I'll go find cousin Haiting and the others."
"Tsk, I didn't plan to take you there." Bai Micha spat and said disdainfully, "I know, I know. When we send a Buddha, we will go all the way. He and I will take you to Bai Haiting, but they are also here. Maybe they will have the same idea."
"There are quite a lot of people with cousin Haiting. Even if they have the same goal, there will be a lot of people left." Bai Jiaqi smiled awkwardly. He was really afraid of death. At first, he just wanted to create an opportunity for Li Xiang and Fei Yujing to meet. He didn't plan to go crazy with them.
He should have realized that Li Xiang and Baimiya were together. These two were bound to do something earth-shattering. He shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess. It was better to wait for them to meet and resolve their conflict with Bai Haiting and the others. Then, he would have completed his mission and left.
"Hey, why does the signet compass show that Haiting and Yunfei are separated?" Bai Jiaqi took out the signet compass. The needle on it kept spinning, pointing in two directions.
