Chapter 4120: The Thing Born

"Get ready."

After the lid was closed, Xia De summoned moonlight to illuminate the narrow space. He and Jia Lin were face to face, but he could hardly see the pores on Jia Lin's face—the dragon girl's skin was very good.

Jia Lin of course also saw that Xia De was looking at her face; she was a little embarrassed, but still cast spells with everyone to protect the coffin.

Miss Feilian's doll was very small, so it was squeezed between Xia De and Jia Lin. The cat was turned into a toy; Xia De hoped it wouldn't come out to make trouble at such a time.

"Let's go!"

The coffin parked by the blood pool fell into the blood pool. Below was not a pipe at all, but a boundless sea of blood. Therefore, the coffin did not touch any solid object after falling, and it kept rotating during the descent, and it took a long time before it was controlled by Miss Feilian to float steadily in the sea of blood.

The four people in the coffin were unlucky; everyone collided with each other. Xia De's nose and Jia Lin's nose collided several times, and the two even almost kissed in the shaking; Xia De felt his mouth really touched Jia Lin's side face.

The pink dragon girl was shy and angry in her dizziness. The shyness was of course because of the repeated contact with Xia De, and the anger was because of another companion:

"Linor! Don't hold my tail!"

"But I can't stabilize myself, Madame Gustav, grab me!"

In short, after the coffin stabilized slightly, Xia De and Jia Lin were almost hugging each other. The witch lady of the Fifth Era was very courageous; Jia Lin took the opportunity to kiss Xia De on the side face during the final vibration, and then shouted before Xia De could react:

"Everyone, check quickly if there are any leaks!"

"Jia Lin is interesting, right?"

The doll lady on Xia De's chest asked Xia De with a smile, and the dragon girl's ears turned red immediately.

When the coffin was "sailing" in the boundless sea of blood, there was almost no vibration, but the people in the coffin could judge that they were indeed tracking the trace of the fourth furnace by the loudness of the crying sound.

The "journey" was not as dangerous as imagined. This seemingly ordinary metal coffin, under the effects of many protective spells, did not allow the blood-colored liquid outside to affect the people inside.

The four people squeezed together would exchange a few words at first, but soon everyone returned to silence, quietly waiting for the final moment to arrive. It's just that not everyone had nothing to do. Jia Lin stared at Xia De's face in the moonlight, and then truly kissed him. After the two separated, she blinked at Xia De; the general meaning was that it felt very good.

Perhaps it was only ten seconds, or perhaps after dozens of minutes of waiting, the doll lady said softly:

"Found it."

The feeling of the coffin rising rapidly was particularly obvious at this moment, but soon there was bumping in the rising feeling, and then the whole coffin rotated again.

Clang~

And at the moment everyone felt that the coffin officially left the liquid, the coffin that had endured too much pressure finally fell apart. Everyone squeezed together was thrown out, but fortunately, when everyone stood up, they found that the distance between each other was not far.

"This is..."

Under their feet was blood-colored liquid with a depth that could barely submerge their shoes, thin red mist diffused around, and there was an extremely rich fishy smell in the air, but looking up, they couldn't see how much height was left above their heads.

Looking around, it was also boundless; they could only see the liquid attached to the flat ground, extending to where the field of vision could no longer see.

"This place is so like the 【Creation Delivery Room】."

Xia De thought in his heart, while Miss Breadwei looked at the ground:

"Where did we float up from? There are no depressions or holes in the ground nearby..."

No one could answer this question, but everyone could guess that they had floated up from the shallow liquid under their feet. As for the coffin, it had now disintegrated into hundreds of fragments like being blown up from the inside by a steam bomb, and most of the fragments had turned from metal material to flesh and blood material under the erosion of the red liquid, and were currently wriggling in the red liquid.

Even Xia De's 【Breath of Time】 could not piece them back together.

The liquid surface under their feet rippled again soon, and then there was another slight earthquake. After detaching from the coffin, the crying sound that was originally dizzying became much weaker, but the witches observing the surrounding situation still quickly found the target's trace:

"Over there!"

Jia Lin pointed to the left, and red flames were clearly visible in the depths of the thin mist.

"Let's go."

The old witch said, and Miss Feilian also sat back on Xia De's shoulder:

"Be careful, let's go."

Huge metal fragments were messily inserted not far ahead. The brass-colored metal had obvious melting traces, and the sparks on some metal surfaces were still bright in the mist. Although the runes on the surface had almost all been burned, everyone could be sure that these metal fragments were the fragments of the "Life Furnace."

As the group moved forward rapidly in the mist, the number of scattered fragments became more and more, so everyone realized that there was not only one furnace wreck here, and the wrecks of the four furnaces ignited by everyone were highly likely all scattered around here.

"The bottoms of the four furnace rooms are all connected here? Is this the core of the entire factory?"

It's just that unlike the small furnace obtained after everyone defeated the evil thing 【Life】 before, these metals inserted obliquely into the ground had lost all supernatural characteristics, and their mission had been completed.

As everyone continued to move further forward, the number of metal fragments on the ground was greater, the volume was smaller, and they were denser.

The halfling girl could almost hear her own heart beating thump, thump, thump~ at this moment, but soon she realized that this was not an illusion; she really heard her own heartbeat.

The thump, thump, thump~ heartbeat sound even seemed to have an echo here, but the fact was that the heartbeat speed of the four people was gradually tending to be consistent, until it overlapped with the huge heartbeat sound coming from not far ahead.

The firelight in the mist became completely clear, and a huge red blood cocoon like a hill attached with life flames appeared before everyone. And as the flames burned, the volume of the blood cocoon was constantly shrinking.

The surface of the blood cocoon was also becoming thin and transparent, making the humanoid life curled up in it clearer and clearer. Its heartbeat seemed to represent the heartbeat of "life" itself, and its breathing frequency seemed to be the optimal breathing frequency that all life should have.

Xia De, who was watching this thing, could only use "sacred" to describe the thing wrapped in the blood cocoon. There was no need to have any understanding of the other party; anyone could know that the other party's name was "life" itself.

The final answer of the 【Filthy Blood Factory】 was very simple. Even if the task requirement was 【Assist the Old God "One-Armed Prince" to complete the birth of new life】, then the final born thing was an evil thing named "Life."

"I... can't do it."

Unknowingly, everyone had stopped, and Jia Lin looked at the blood cocoon in front of her with a confused expression:

"I know that before it breaks out of the cocoon, it is the best opportunity to defeat it, but I can't do this. This is life, and who can hurt a life that has not yet been born? It is so fragile, so young, so pure."

The halfling girl holding a small shield covered her forehead:

"I also know that we should do it, but I can't bear to do it. Thinking that I am going to hurt it, I feel like I am going to kill the children who come to my bakery to buy bread every day in the town with my own hands."

Even the twelfth-tier Madame Gustav did not make a move with a painful expression:

"I know it has mental pollution ability, and I also know that the effect of this mental pollution ability is to make us unable to bear to hurt it, but I... I can't do it. I am still a human, I have a conscience, I have morality, I don't want to give these up, so I can't do it.

Life, this is the true evil thing named 【Life】. It's too perfect, too fragile. No, I can't do it, absolutely not."

Xia De frowned and stared at the blood cocoon:

"Miss Feilian, can you do it?"

The petite witch shook her head with regret:

"If my main body were here, clenching my teeth should be no problem, but I can't do it now; I can't bear to do it either. What about you?"

"This is the third 【Life】 evil thing I have encountered. It is purer and more powerful than the first two I encountered. This form is the complete body, right?"

"When I encountered the second 【Life】 in my era, the great witch beside me said that her mother believed that the evil thing 【Life】 was like cancer in the human body (4092). Now it seems that this statement is really accurate."

Xia De didn't know if there was a disease called "cancer" in the Fifth Era, so he used the word from the Sixth Era to express this disease:

"It can swallow the life force of normal living organisms, let itself reproduce infinitely, and there is no limit at all; it can disguise itself as a normal life, making those Ring Mages or witches who should have strangled it unable to do it even if they identify it."

"This kind of evil thing is named 【Life】; the original namer really has a bad taste. But normal life seems to be like this, using every means to try to absorb nutrients from the world to reproduce, trying to avoid death. Speaking of which, the ancient people's understanding of this kind of evil thing is very accurate."

The evil thing named 【Life】 and true life, in the Outsider's view, have similarities. But now is not the time to think about these philosophical questions. Miss Feilian wanted to ask Xia De if he could do it, and Xia De gave an affirmative answer with action:

"Moonlight Slash!"

The scarlet moonlight hit the shell of the blood cocoon, but failed to shatter it. Immediately after, the thunder spear pierced through, but it only left a small piece of charred black on the surface of the blood cocoon. The black shadow ball had no effect, and the extreme cold frost could not cool the temperature of the life fire. ===== CHAPTER 4121 =====
