Chapter 123 The Culprit Behind the Disaster?
Da da da…
On the jolting horseback... oh no, on the jolting back of a human, Zhang Liuye slowly recounted:
"In order to carry out the [Star Return Project]..."
"At the beginning of each era, three observers descend from the heavens as [messengers of the gods]..."
"One is a messenger of the god of order and power..."
"He is the executor of the Star Return Project, responsible for planting the seeds of fire and protecting them until they are completely extinguished..."
"One is a messenger of the god of justice and judgment..."
"He is responsible for assisting and overseeing the implementation of the plan, and also for bringing equality and judgment to the world..."
"And there is another messenger of the god of freedom and creation, who is responsible for bringing change and hope to this world..."
"The three inspectors each have their own duties...they depend on each other...and check and balance each other..."
Hearing this, Lü Fengxian had a general idea of what was going on.
Simply put, apart from the [messenger of freedom and creation], the other two messengers are not [messengers of the gods] to people today, but rather [messengers of demons].
The "Star Return Project" allows people from an ancient civilization to reappear in the world using contemporary people as vessels. For "them," it is indeed a spark, but for "us," it is... a Damocles' sword that is always hanging over our heads.
It could fall behind at any time.
Presumably, one or two of the divine messengers may have developed their own thoughts, fallen in love with the current humans, and thus obstructed the [Star Return Project].
Otherwise, why has the plan been delayed for so long?
"Is there any other information?" Lü Fengxian asked.
"..." Zhang Liuye narrowed his eyes slightly, pouting his lips, seemingly trying his best to retrieve fragments of his memory. After stammering for a while, he finally spoke, "Uh... I can't remember..."
"No... it's you..."
Lu Fengxian didn't know what to say either, and after hesitating for a long time, she finally spoke, "You've been humming and puffing for so long and this is all you came up with?"
"I just can't remember, what can I do?"
After saying that, Zhang Liuye patted Lü Fengxian's face, making a "pia pia" sound. "Hey, I'm hungry, take me to get something to eat! Is this how you treat your unmarried wife...?"
“I’m not called ‘Hey,’ I have a name!”
As she spoke, Lü Fengxian used her face to strike Zhang Liuye's delicate hand.
"There's not even a chicken feather in this vast desert, where am I supposed to find food for you? Can't you just hang in there?"
After a pause, she said softly, "If all else fails... how about you take a couple of pills to tide you over? I have plenty of pills..."
"yawn……"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Liuye yawned, looking like he was about to fall asleep.
"I don't want to eat pills, I want to eat delicious food..."
"Ha~"
"Wake me up when dinner's ready, I'm going to take a nap, haha~"
"Hey!" Lü Fengxian shouted urgently, her shoulders shaking violently as she tried to stop the sleeping god on her back from falling asleep. Her voice was filled with anxiety, "Please, please don't fall asleep..."
Zhang Liuye: (_ _). ゜zzz
"It's over..."
In an instant, Lü Fengxian felt utterly hopeless.
"If some blind beast or some brainless desert bandit comes along and alerts the [Bull Demon King], wouldn't he beat me to death too?"
It's obvious that he has developed PTSD from the Bull Demon King.
Da da da…
On the silent desert at dusk, Timo ran towards the rendezvous point, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun.
call--
High in the sky behind, Hu Yanwei quietly followed.
"Brother Lü, who has lost his memory..."
"A strange, god-level ancestor..."
"And there's a silly red pony..."
"What on earth is going to do..."
call-
"The divine sense of this ancestor is too sharp... I can't keep up too closely..."
Immediately, it deliberately slowed down its flight speed, following at a distance without losing sight of the other aircraft.
This follow was driven purely by curiosity.
I'm really itching to find out what they're up to.
at the same time…
On a towering, mountain-like sand dune at the border of Sand Sculpture City.
Huff... huff...
The atmosphere here is exceptionally bleak.
The fleeing group stopped here to rest; some huddled together for warmth, while others were alone.
"So thirsty...and so hungry..." a little fox murmured softly.
"Be patient, just a little longer," her mother gently stroked her, soothing her with a soft voice, "That merman warrior and our tribe's young chieftain have already gone to fetch water..."
The Merfolk warriors naturally refer to the Blue Carp.
The young chieftain is Bai Moxuan, the young chieftain of the White Fox tribe. Their White Fox tribe is the chieftain's clan of the entire fox tribe, so the young chieftain is naturally equivalent to the young chieftain.
whoosh-
Something seems to be flying towards us.
"Huh?" The fox mother looked up.
"!!ah!!"
They discovered that a Star Soul was rapidly approaching, and instinctively protected the child beside them.
It was Ao Bing.
They went to the designated meeting place but found it empty. After searching for a long time, they learned from Lan Li that they had to move the location because of the desert bandits.
"Uncle Li is really something, moving to a new location without even saying hello..."
Before Lan Kun could even mentally curse him, his thoughts were interrupted by a sudden scream.
"Don't be afraid! It's me..."
Before the mecha even landed, Lan Kun directly disintegrated, landing in a heroic pose.
"So it was Prince Lan Kun!"
"Thank you, Prince Lan Kun, for saving us!"
"..."
Many old demons, along with their younger generations, came forward to greet them, their words of gratitude never ceasing, flowing like a machine gun.
"The Merfolk will always be friends of our Grand Canyon Tribal Alliance!"
At this moment, Lan Kun felt shy, as he had never received such compliments and gratitude before.
"There's no need for you to be so polite..."
"Please rest assured, fellow demons... I will definitely escort you back to your tribes in the Great Canyon, so please don't worry..."
After responding to each question, he asked, "By the way, where did my ancestor go?"
"Who is it?" a burly man from the Horse-faced Tribe asked.
"It's that green-haired, green-clothed guy who helped me rescue you..."
"Oh..." The burly man with the horse-faced face nodded, pointing to a roughly shaped cave not far away. "See that cave? That's where your ancestor dug it. He suddenly fell seriously ill not long ago, and he's probably still healing inside..."
"Thanks."
"No need to thank us. If anyone should be thanking you, it's us who should be thanking you for saving us."
Inside the cave.
Bear!
A campfire was burning, providing a faint light and warmth.
The firewood crackled and popped in the firelight.
"What were you thinking just now?" Song Yunxiang frowned slightly, poking at the firewood with a stick to increase its contact with oxygen and make it burn brighter.
Qinglong shrugged and said nonchalantly, "It's because of the backlash from the cultivation technique that I went into a qi deviation. What else could possibly make me act crazy?"
The sudden onset of a serious illness was solely due to the special connection between the main body and the clone.
The clone suffered such hardship that it was inevitable that the main body would suffer some backlash.
"Then why aren't you having attacks anymore?"
"The cultivation technique is working smoothly again, that's why. Who hasn't suffered a qi deviation during cultivation?"
suddenly!
Boom, boom, boom, boom…
A loud noise came from underground, and the ground shook. It was either an earthquake or an attack by a ferocious beast.
"what!"
"What's going on here?"
"earthquake!?"
"Help me!!"
"..."
The demons outside reacted in various ways, but almost all of them showed panic. Very few remained calm in the face of danger, since most of those chosen by the slave-catching team were fair-skinned and beautiful...
"what?"
Since being transformed into a host body, Lan Kun's perception of ferocious beasts has become much stronger, and he immediately discovered that it was not a natural disaster, but a beast calamity.
He immediately shouted:
"Oh no! It's a ferocious beast! Everyone scatter!"
boom! !
Just as the words were spoken, several [Domain Insects] broke through the ground.
They are like human centipedes, with each segment of their body resembling a human torso, each leg and claw resembling a human hand with five fingers, and their split mouthparts covered with human teeth.
On his forehead were two white bone plates, one facing forward and one facing backward, resembling plaster masks.
Its gaping maw seemed to be smiling.
"Star Soul General Ao Bing!"
Seeing this, Lan Kun immediately prepared to fight back, slashing down heavily with his crescent blade, engaging in a fierce battle with the domain insects. Although he was outnumbered, he had a slight advantage.
But who knew...
boom! !
Just as Ao Bing entered the fray to engage in combat, more [Domain Insect Species] began to emerge from the ground.
"Oh no! It's those ferocious beasts lurking beneath the sand!"
"Run!"
Despite being exhausted, the demons unleashed an astonishing speed in order to avoid becoming food for the ferocious beasts, as if they had activated a hidden energy source.
Swish! !
"Die!" Ao Bing killed a domain insect, then immediately jumped up, trying to rush back to his fellow demons and protect them from the ravages of the ferocious beasts.
boom!
boom! !
Two domain insects burst out of the ground, stood upright, and continuously obstructed Ao Bing.
However, these domain insects seemed oblivious to the fleeing demon race, focusing solely on targeting Ao Bing.
He allowed the demons to escape from his side.
"Everything was fine just now... but as soon as the human constructs appeared... the ferocious beasts came out..."
"Just as the Grand Elder said... civilization is the root cause of all disasters..."
A fox-woman shouted this.
The elder she mentioned was the same elder who had been constantly obstructing Bai Moxuan.
But is that really the case?
Swish! !
"Roar!!"
Suddenly, a species of terrestrial insect rushed out and blocked the path of the demon race. A smile seemed to appear on its strange face, and then it opened its blood-red maw and let out a joyful roar.
"no, do not want!"
However, the ferocious beast was devoid of human nature and bit the fox-woman into a bloody mist with a single bite. The two rows of human teeth made a loud "clang" sound when they bit together, and its smile seemed to rise even higher.
Are ferocious beasts targeting technological civilization?
It is only because civilization is strong enough to resist ferocious beasts that rumors of various beast tides and disasters naturally circulate, while the weak can only become food, so there are no stories to tell.
The ferocious beasts are not enemies of civilization, but enemies of the world!
"Ok?"
Ao Bing, who was fighting, suddenly heard a loud noise and instinctively turned around to look.
I happened to witness that bloody scene.
"Do not!!"
