Chapter 495 (1/2)
Like many ecological planets in the Plane of Dreams, Tannagost was born due to the sowing of the Seed of Origin. The First Born was buried in the depths of the planet, and the Tannaeans were the second batch of life from the Seed of Origin.
What happened on that planet of Holletta (the people in Becky’s hometown had not named their planet yet, so Hao Ren could only temporarily refer to it as Holletta) also happened on this planet: the First Born woke up frantically and attacked the Second Borns mercilessly. Unlike those on the planet of Holletta, the Tannaeans had significantly worse luck: the First Born they faced was not controlled by any security device. The planet’s biosphere was reshaped, and the Tannaeans who had created a glorious civilization were killed.
“Even here…” Lily already had a phobia of the First Born. She had goosebumps the moment she saw the huge tentacles. “I feel the hairs on my tail standing up!”
“Looks like what I guess is right. The First Born is a common phenomenon of the plane of Dreams. Many of eco-planets are created by the Seed of Origin, and probably all the first life created by the Seed of Origin are the First Born,” Hao Ren said, and then gulped. “The goddess of creation is really a great god… How many planets has she transformed?”
“No matter how many planets have been transformed, the point is why the First Born here has also become violent,” Vivian said and looked at the sea of tentacles, a large group of bats slowly appeared around her. “We should expand the scope of exploration.”
A large group of bats scattered in all directions, and the next second they had become a bunch of blurry dots in the sky. Lily did not forget to remind Vivian, “Do not forget to take them all back, we don’t need a Hessiana No.2.”
Vivian suddenly shivered, stared at Lily and said, “Can’t you say something nice?”
“Those tentacles seem to be dead.” Hao Ren looked at the sea of tentacles and asked, “Shall we go and have a look?”
Vivian nodded, then turned to look at Anna and said, “You have to go back first. The exploration is not just ‘dangerous’. We are going to face with an ancient creature that is far beyond your imagination, even the remains can be a huge threat.”
Anna was terrified when she saw the horrible tentacles outside the city. And now she finally stopped trying to be brave. So Hao Ren nodded to Lily and said, “You send Anna back, directly back to the entrance of the underground palace. And take this…” Hao Ren was handing over a silver-white gadget while speaking to Lily. “Put this near the crack. This is the energy sensor. If there’s any Vengeful Spirit passes through the cracks, we’ll know it.”
Lily carried Anna on her shoulder, and soon she was far away from them. Nangong Wuyue shouted to remind Lily, “Run a little slower! Control your speed! Anna is an ordinary person!!”
After Lily had successfully sent Anna away and came back to join them, they sped towards the sea of tentacles. They passed the broken buildings along the way and also saw the ruins of the protective wall. There were 15 layers of thick alloy armor on the periphery of Alamanda. Those arc-shaped armors were more than 10 meters thick. They were not only made from special materials but even molded with the base of the entire city.
However, even such a protective wall had fallen under the powerful force of the First Born.
The First Born was rooted in the earth. Part of its body was even deep underground for several kilometers or even dozens of kilometers and supported a whole piece of geological structure. Hao Ren once saw this power in Dragonspine Ridge. When the First Born woke up and stretched its body, it could easily destroy the whole area, no doubt Alamanda also suffered the same fate. The protective wall of the city itself was made of alloy, but the First Born must have created a severe earthquake under it, causing the thick armor plates to become brittle. The First Born’s tentacles were then stabbed along the fragile cracks into the city. On the outer layers of protective walls, Hao Ren saw the giant tentacles that had been pierced deeply into the armor plates. Those tentacles had died and decayed, but it was still frightening.
And at the outermost layer of the city, there were some tentacles with a special structure that meandering along the protective walls, trying to invade the inside of the city from above. These tentacles, looking like vines, had traces of scorch on them, and at the top of the inner wall, they could see a structure like a weapon fort. This was also the remnant of that terrible catastrophe. Tannaeans’ technological prowess was indeed more powerful than the mage-emperors, at least the Tannaeans was able to hurt the First Born and temporarily block it outside the gate.
