Zuo Zhicheng was a little confused. If ten thousand years had passed and there were ancient beasts in the sanctuary that started to gain intelligence, use tools, and form a civilization, then it was indeed a huge potential threat.
Earth had always been the Earth of humans. Any life with intelligence that suddenly rose must be controlled as soon as possible.
Therefore, Zuo Zhicheng used the Divine Light Sword to cut open the skin and bones of the monkey monster in front of him to search for the Life Plexus.
However, after searching for a long time, he did not find any organization similar to the Life Plexus. Either the Life Plexus was hidden very well, or the Life Plexus ability came from a different system.
Thinking that the Life Plexus had evolved to the point where it could use and even create tools, then it was not impossible for it to evolve another system of invisibility.
Zuo Zhicheng put away the Divine Light Sword, opened the Mouth of the Underworld, and sent out twelve X-2000s in a row. Then, the thirteen figures moved like black lightning and headed into the depths of the artificial ecosystem.
"Spread out and investigate the situation of the entire ecosystem."
The twelve X-2000s were originally automatic machines with human-like functions built for investigation. Their programs were injected with a lot of experience in covert operations and investigation in various environments.
In particular, these trial robots were originally created for the use of ESP users. They could simulate electrical signals and communicate with them over a long distance through telepathy.
Once they discovered something, they could also transmit information through a predetermined frequency band. However, this kind of information transmission obviously had a distance requirement. After about ten kilometers, the transmission of information would be greatly limited.
However, it was enough to use in the artificial ecosystem because the ecosystem was not big, only about fifty square kilometers in total. The twelve X-2000s and Zuo Zhicheng transmitted signals to each other, and it was enough to cover the entire artificial ecosystem.
The ecosystem that had lost the care of the Ark was obviously in a terrible state. The entire world was in darkness, and most of the land was abnormally barren. There were not even many trees, which were obviously dead.
Along the way, Zuo Zhicheng saw a variety of animal skeletons casually piled up on the ground. Occasionally, he encountered a few monkey monsters. They all held a big iron rod in their hands and charged at Zuo Zhicheng, but they were all killed by Zuo Zhicheng with a single slash of his sword.
Although these monkey monsters were extremely strong and had the ability to turn invisible, they could not hide from Zuo Zhicheng's eyes.
Along the way, Zuo Zhicheng and the twelve X-2000s quickly surrounded the monkey-monster's nest.
Zuo Zhicheng had an inexplicable look in his eyes as he looked at the place that was built with bones, stones, and mud. It looked like a primitive tribe.
"The power just now was obviously not enough to stop the Ark outside. Do these monkey monsters have any other special powers?"
"The ecosystem here has been completely destroyed. How did they survive until now?"
It was useless to think too much about it. Zuo Zhicheng controlled himself and the twelve X-2000s to slowly sneak into the monkey-monster's nest.
Along the way, the monkey-monsters seemed to be used to being the masters of this world. They were completely unguarded and were easily killed by Zuo Zhicheng and the X-2000s. However, although the process was smooth and messy, the closer Zuo Zhicheng got to the center, the more oppressive and uncomfortable he felt. It was as if something evil and depraved was about to appear.
With another slash of his sword, Zuo Zhicheng cut off the head of another monkey-monster. He looked at the position of a group of red shadows in his infrared vision.
At this distance, he could clearly see what the red shadows were doing. It was a group of monkey-monsters with red hair all over their bodies. Their faces were as distorted as the other monkey-monsters, as if four or five monkey faces were forcibly pieced together. Their mouths were constantly making sounds that sounded like a woman's sneer.
In the middle of them was a burning purple flame. Zuo Zhicheng patiently watched what the monkey-monsters were doing.
He saw two monkey-monsters lifting a smaller monkey-monster from the cage behind them. Then, they carried out a series of rituals. Finally, they dug out the heart of the smaller monkey-monster and threw it into the purple flame.
Then, it was the spleen, stomach, lungs … Every part of the smaller monkey-monster's body was thrown into the purple flame one by one. Every time it was thrown into the purple flame, the flame burned more vigorously.
The monkey-monsters around them cheered in unison. Their faces were hideous and distorted like fanatics. They roared crazily like thousands of ghosts crying.
As more and more organs, flesh and blood were thrown into the flame, the purple flame suddenly expanded and contracted. Suddenly, fruits, vegetables, and raw meat fell from the sky into the monkey-monsters.
"Are you kidding me?" Zuo Zhicheng looked at this scene with his mouth agape. He originally thought that this was just a kind of feudal worship of a primitive civilization. How could such a thing happen?
Just as his mind fluctuated for a moment, he suddenly felt an invisible force enveloping him.
"Qi of True Yuan?"
If it was the previous Zuo Zhicheng, who had not experienced the use of Qi of True Yuan, or had not gone through the first stage of the Ten Earths Motionless test, he would definitely not be able to detect this sudden attack. However, he could now rely on his extraordinary senses to detect this in advance and dodge it.
Following his dodging action, a soft sound of surprise rang out behind his head.
Zuo Zhicheng turned around to look. It was a gray-haired, skinny old man who looked like a disaster victim.
"A Void Refinement Stage expert?" Zuo Zhicheng looked at the old man who suddenly appeared in front of him with some surprise and uncertainty.
The monkey-monsters seemed to have heard the noise as well. However, just when they were about to make a move, the old man shouted and the monkey-monsters left one after another.
The old man's clothes were ragged from head to toe and he looked like a beggar in the mountains. However, Zuo Zhicheng did not dare to underestimate him at all. This was because whether it was the power that the old man used just now or the blood-red aura that wrapped around him, they were all true Qi of True Yuan.
"So it's a Void Refinement Stage expert who is controlling these monkey-monsters. With your power and authority, the ark naturally can't manage this place anymore."
When the old man heard what Zuo Zhicheng said, he did not say a word. He looked at Zuo Zhicheng with a pair of blood-red eyes. After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, "Go away."
Zuo Zhicheng was stunned. A murderous, unstable, and chaotic consciousness filled with murderous intent entered his mind.
"For the sake of the shadows, I won't kill you this time. If there's a next time, I'll feed you to these monkey-monsters."
Zuo Zhicheng smiled. Although he was very curious about the purple flames and the actions of the old man in front of him, the old man's Void Refinement Stage combat strength was not to be underestimated. He was unwilling to fight with him now.
In particular, the old man in front of him seemed to be a little chaotic and neurotic. He did not want to fight with this old man even more.
Zuo Zhicheng shrugged to show that he was not hostile. Then, he slowly retreated into the shadows with the twelve X-2000s.
'I'll come here again when I'm strong enough to subdue this old man.'
Just as he was thinking about this, the old man suddenly frowned and said, "Wait."
