Chapter 106: Altar, Sacrificial Offerings, Predator
In the center of the Altar, six stone coffins were arranged like petals, with six sets of skeletal remains lying on top of them.
Tang Song stood to the side of the Altar, poking at one of the skeletal remains in front of him with the cane in his hand.
The front ribs of this skeleton were broken from the inside out, clearly a fatal injury caused by a parasitic Facehugger bursting out of the chest.
"Begin!"
Charles Bishop Weyland gave the order. The Black Person, Jacob, along with two Mercenaries, took out the Dinosaur Eggs from the insulated box one by one.
Jacob held a Dinosaur Egg in one hand, about to place it on the groove of the Altar.
But before he could approach the Altar, a cane extended in front of him, blocking his way.
"Mr. Tang?"
Jacob looked at the cane blocking his chest and subconsciously glanced at Charles behind him.
"Tang? What is the meaning of this?"
Tang Song turned his hand, withdrew the cane, and pointed it at a stone carving nearby that had a distinct Egyptian style.
"The stronger the Sacrificial Offering, the more formidable the monster that is parasitized. If I'm not mistaken, these in your hand are Velociraptor Eggs!"
Tang Song's gaze went past Jacob and landed on his employer.
As Charles Bishop Weyland breathed, the mist produced by his breath seemed to blur his vision. After a moment of silence in the white mist, he said, "Tang, only a sufficiently perfect ritual can open the lowest level Room. What I want is down there! I have no choice!"
Tang Song and Charles Bishop Weyland confronted each other for a moment, then Tang Song grinned, "Since that's the case, remember to settle the money for the Dinosaur Eggs with Dr. Hammond later. Dr. Hammond told me the Dinosaur Eggs were stolen, and I didn't believe it. Turns out you borrowed them!"
"As you know, I am now a Major Shareholder in the Jurassic Park Project. If the Dinosaur Eggs were to fall into the Outside world, it would directly affect the Jurassic Park brand. After all, only unique things can attract visitors, wouldn't you agree?"
"Don't worry, Tang, there will be no more Dinosaur Eggs for sale at my Auction in the future!"
Charles Bishop Weyland made a promise to Tang Song.
"I will have the finance department transfer twenty million US dollars to John later, as the cost for purchasing this batch of Dinosaur Eggs!"
Boss Tang also took a step back, clearing the way.
Jacob held a Dinosaur Egg in one hand and walked towards the Altar. As he passed Boss Tang, he glanced at Tang Song deeply from the side. In the depths of his eyes, a wolf-headed human figure seemed to flash.
"Prepare!"
Just as Jacob and several Mercenaries placed the Dinosaur Eggs on the Altar, Charles Bishop Weyland walked with heavy steps to a relief carving and pressed down the raised circular relief carving, turning it three times to the left and three times to the right.
Clicking mechanical sounds echoed. At the bottom of the Pyramid, the Alien Queen, suspended by chains, seemed to be stimulated by something. Its abdomen continuously sprayed out Alien Eggs with popping sounds.
A mechanical arm grabbed the Alien Eggs one by one and placed them into a bowl-shaped pipe. With a blast of air pressure, these Alien Eggs were directly sprayed towards the upper levels of the Pyramid! ...
In the sunken Stone Pit areas of the Altar, as cracks appeared, round Alien Eggs, like artillery shells, appeared in the grooves.
The green Alien Eggs, constantly dripping thick liquid, looked like a pile of viscous, rotten green meat eggs.
"They really captured another Alien Queen!"
Charles Bishop Weyland muttered to himself, looking at the Alien Eggs that appeared out of nowhere.
At this moment, the Mercenaries, who had long been told about the horror of the Aliens, had already retreated to the corner of the Altar's edge, their guns aimed at these Alien Eggs.
The Alien Eggs stood quietly on the Altar, looking utterly harmless. However, after only a few seconds, the head of one Alien Egg split open into a petal-shaped mouth, like a carnivorous plant opening its mouth.
From the opening, a scorpion-like Facehugger, covered in eight tentacles and with a long tail, crawled out of the Alien Egg.
It, crawling directly above the Alien Egg, wagged its flexible tail. After observing the surroundings, it did not choose the Dinosaur Eggs on the Altar. It leaped up and directly pounced towards Tang Song's face.
Storm Shadow, who had been watching Tang Song's situation from the side, flashed forward and blocked Tang Song. The Katana in his hand was drawn directly from its scabbard.
A white light flashed, accompanied by a sizzling scream. The palm-sized Facehugger was instantly split in half.
Sizzle!
The green creature blood fell onto the Ground, and the ground paved with giant stones was immediately corroded into shallow pits.
Sizzle, even the back of the blade of the Katana in Storm Shadow's hand began to smoke lightly.
Storm Shadow was quick-eyed and quick-handed. With a backhand swing, the blade of the Katana scraped against a column by the Altar, wiping off the green blood of the Facehugger stuck to the blade.
However, even with his speed, the blade was inevitably corroded with some mottled marks.
"This is Arashikage Steel!" Storm Shadow looked at the Katana in his hand with some heartache, his tone filled with regret and disbelief.
He clearly hadn't expected Arashikage Steel, which could withstand bullets, to be corroded so easily by creature blood.
"I have another batch of Adamantium. I'll have someone forge two more blades for you later!"
Tang Song looked at the several Alien Eggs that were stirring, circulating his True Essence, concealing his presence:
"I am the biggest sponsor of the Federation's Sword Forging Convention right now!"
Adamantium. Hearing Tang Song's words, Storm Shadow finally recovered from his regretful mood.
He took a strip of cloth from a Cobra Soldier nearby and wrapped it around the blade of the Katana. After wrapping it a few times, he pulled hard, wiping off the remaining Facehugger blood on the Katana.
Clang. Looking at the several Facehuggers that were stirring, Storm Shadow directly sheathed his Katana and raised the carbine in his hand, aiming at those Alien Eggs.
Charles Bishop Weyland's face, hidden beneath the bio-mask, had been observing Tang Song since the Facehugger attacked him.
Aliens are creatures that originated from the ultimate hunter cultivated by the Engineers. The youngling Facehugger, when choosing a host, often chooses the one with the strongest gene.
When faced with a batch of Velociraptor Eggs, which are considered top-tier predators, among millions of potential choices, the Facehugger actually prioritized attacking Tang Song. This made Charles Bishop Weyland feel somewhat incredible.
Admittedly, humanity is indeed far ahead of other creatures in terms of genetic evolution, but in terms of adapting to nature and hunting, humans without fangs and claws are indeed at a disadvantage compared to some large fierce beasts.
If these Alien Larvae considered Tang Song as the first attack sequence, it means that in the perception of these Facehuggers,
This Tang's genes are superior to top predators like Velociraptors.
Just as Charles Bishop Weyland was filled with surprise and uncertainty.
Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop...
Five Facehuggers simultaneously pounced out of the Alien Eggs, targeting those Dinosaur Eggs.
Clinging tightly to the Dinosaur Eggs with their eight tentacles, these Facehuggers bit a gap in the Velociraptor Eggshell, then their entire bodies drilled inside.
Immediately after, the Dinosaur Eggs began to shake violently.
"Bang!"
Charles Bishop Weyland's Mercenaries seemed startled by this scene. Their hands trembled, and they directly pulled the trigger.
A bullet grazed a Dinosaur Egg and flew past, hitting the stone wall and creating a spark.
The gunfire startled everyone.
"Don't shoot!"
Jacob quickly shouted to stop them.
The gunfire seemed to startle the Alien Larvae inside the Eggshells. Several black figures shot out of the Eggshells and scurried into the scattered Passages.
