Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Heartbeat of the Earth
"The earth is beating. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"What did you say?"
"It's jumping."
Long looked at the ground under his feet and said softly.
They had already retreated to the same path, and according to Long, although the bugs were not aggressive, they were just lying there, and no one could think of going there, so they had to choose another path.
At this time, Long said something like this.
"I feel like there's something underground..... Jump again. Long said again, this time no longer in a skeptical tone, but in an affirmative tone.
Wu Mo picked up Ai Yixia again and asked, "Have you ever felt like this before?" β
"Nope."
"So, what kind of beating is it?" Wu Mo continued to ask as he walked.
"It's like .....," Long said slowly, pressing his gray hand to his chest, "like a heartbeat." β
Knock Knock...... Knock knock.......
There seems to be a strong and powerful heart under the black backbone of the mountains of this land, and the undercurrent channel under the earth is the artery that connects the heart, and with the entry of the water, the heart is filled with something like blood, first relaxing, and then contracting, with this powerful contraction, the beating of a heart is completed, and a large amount of water is compressed and squeezed out, just like blood flows from the heart throughout the body.
This is what Long perceives, the earth beneath his feet.
It's just that this heart is too huge, too big to be unimaginable.
Wu Mo felt that although this statement was a bit fantastical, it was not unacceptable, because he had also read about similar phenomena in geography, but it was not so exaggerated.
"Hmmm......"
Wu Mo felt that there was some movement behind him.
I didn't sleep well this night, even if I barely opened my eyelids, I could only see some milky white halos, and everything in my vision was blurry.
When I woke up, I felt very uncomfortable, but it was much better than before, and the pain in my body was relieved by half.
"Stop......." her voice was weak, soft.
"Well, you're awake?!"
Wu Mo paused, he felt that she was struggling a little on his back, and it seemed that she wanted to get down and go by herself.
"Hmm...... Let me down. β
"Well, don't force it."
Aisha didn't reply to his words, fell to the ground, and then subconsciously touched his waist and found that his sword was gone.
Long walked up to her and handed Yinguang to her.
She smiled at Long, took the sword, pinned it back to her waist, and carefully touched the hilt as if it had been carved out of a craft, holding it tightly as if she were hand-to-hand with an old friend.
"Let's not go anymore, we can't get out." She seemed to have regained a little energy after getting the sword.
"Why?"
It wasn't Wu Mo who asked her, but Long.
Wu Mo and Ai Yixia's eyes were focused on Long's body.
Long said with some concern, "Just now...... I saw a few words on the ground. Say...... What is false, do not believe. β
"That's what I wrote." Aisha replied very directly.
Long finally couldn't help it and asked, "What do you mean?!" β
"She should be trying to say that the valley we see in front of us is fake, or that we have been in a huge illusion."
When Ai Yixia heard Wu Mo's answer, she smiled casually, and then said, "Your understanding is a little biased, but it's about the same." β
Long was still in the dark, looking at the two of them in confusion, and suddenly found that he couldn't seem to intervene in their topic.
"Deviation?!" Wu Mo asked puzzled.
Ai Yixia leaned down, grabbed a stone from the ground, and said, "Xiao Fang, you say, is this stone alive or dead?" Or does it have life? β
"If it makes sense, no." Wu Mo said, "But it doesn't seem to be possible to infer it according to common sense here." β
As soon as Ai Yixia wanted to say something, Long took over, "It's really alive, and its heart is beating." β
"I don't know if it has a heart," Aisha didn't know what Long meant, she had her own opinion, "but at least it moves, maybe it's alive, and I'm more inclined to be changing." β
"And how do you know?!" Wu Mo interjected, "Or, what evidence is there?" As soon as his words fell, he reacted.
The proof, of course, is this valley.
Wu Mo hadn't been online for a while, so he didn't know much about the geography, originally when Ai Yixia came into this valley, they were still walking on the 'Heavenly Block' road, if it went well, they would be able to reach the Polar Night Region in another month, which is the land under their feet now.
It's only been a week now, and they're already here, so how did they get here?
They didn't move, it only means that the ground under their feet is moving.
It's this land, it's moving here, and it's very fast, but they can't perceive its changes in this array.
"The words I left before, false, don't believe it, it means don't believe what we see in front of us, and don't try to leave a mark, the valley we see is the same, but once we leave the place, it changes, and then, we can never go back to the same place. This may be the reason why no matter how you walk here, you will walk back to that water valley. β
"And this kind of thing?!"
"Actually, I only found out when I looked back and saw the shot you released, you sucked all the flames of the surrounding valley at that moment, it was very bright, and I realized that the original road that I walked with Long is gone, I dare to promise, we will never go back to that swamp if we go back."
"Huh..... It's kind of interesting...... So, against us is the land itself? β
"It should be."
"And what was it that fought with you just now?"
This question stopped her, and Aiisha fell into deep thought again, not knowing how to answer.
"Maybe there's something strange in this valley, I don't know what it is." Unable to think of it, she had to reply, "But I'm sure that kind of thing will imitate us, no, it's a clone." β
"Our skills, our tactics, and even our thoughts........" Ai Yixia is only a little scared now, the duel with the white shadow just now is like a duel with herself in the mirror, as if there are two parallel people in a world, one real and one illusory, and the real her almost died in the illusory her.
"Okay, don't mention this matter yet," Wu Mo no longer asked this question, but said, "We have to go out, I'm afraid what we have to face is not the problem of the terrain will change and what clone attacks, I basically agree with the view that the terrain here will change, but there is something more peculiar, the land here will not only be deformed, it seems to be ...... It also expands and contracts. β
"Telescoping?!"
"Hmm." Wu Mo nodded affirmatively.
Long seemed to remember something, and said, "You asked me just now, can you hear the sound, can you see the insects, is this because of this?!" β
Wu Mo nodded again.
"Bug ........."
Hearing the word bug, Ai Yixia's expression was a little unnatural, because Wu Mo said next to him, "It's super terrifying, it's a big black bug, and it's still a big group....... Turkey flavor, crunchy! Remove the claws and ......."
That's enough...... Is it so scary?
Yes, Long remembered, she couldn't see the insects or hear the sound before, but after taking a step forward, everything was different, not only the sound was overwhelming in her ears, but her vision was also covered with the black ground larvae.
That dense sound won't travel very far, but it must be at least a dozen meters away to dissipate.
Of course, Long doesn't feel that taking a step is equivalent to a distance of more than ten meters, at least he has to intuitively feel that, but it can be explained that walking on the road here, it seems to be a step, but in fact, this step is equivalent to ten meters, or even more, why?
Because the land here is retractable.
If it's just that the terrain is changing, it's still reluctantly acceptable.
If the ground is stretchable, sometimes one step is equivalent to ten steps, or a thousand steps and only one step is actually walked, that is not very scary.
But if the terrain changes at the same time as the latter, then it's not the usual complex.
Ai Yixia remembered the previous fight with Ah Qi.
She thought that she had walked thousands of miles, and she thought that she had reached the end of the earth, but in fact, she never left the palm of Ah Qi's hand.
Perhaps, right now they are standing in the palm of someone's hand, and the struggles they have made are nothing more than ridiculous, lowly, stupid in the eyes of that person!
There was a chill down her spine.
Wu Mo is the same.
He remembered a story he had read before, the famous turkey theory.
There was a flock of turkeys on the farm, and the farmer went back every day at 11 o'clock to feed them, so one of the great scholars in that flock of turkeys, after a year of observation, came up with a great law, "Every day at 11 o'clock, food must fall from the sky." Its theory became the dogma of all the turkeys on the farm.
However, after that day passed, all the turkeys were taken away and used as food.
It's not that the turkey scholar's theory is wrong, but the turkey world is too small, the morning fungus doesn't know the obscurity, and the cockroach doesn't know the spring and autumn.
Now, the three of them are the same, groping their way through this strange valley, where there are endless rules, and their horizons are only so big.
If the land is really alive, then they are now just a flock of turkeys trapped on the land.
On the other side of the mountain, Long Yi was still resting in the Boundary Sky, but he had already gone all out to urge the Boundary Sky to rush to the Polar Night Zone on the mainland at an extremely fast speed.
He was depleting his strength, a month ago he had exhausted nearly eighty percent of his cultivation to become a divine medicine, and today his physical strength was only half recovered.
In fact, he is still secretly grateful to the hero who ruled the country, don't look at him saying that he is here to ask for debts, in fact, he is still here to protect them, Long Yi knows that he also has some enemies, if the fat man is not there, he will run into some trouble.
But the hero ruling the country is always like this, and he has helped him a lot, but he always doesn't say anything, it's much harder than a boiled duck's mouth, and of course he doesn't get any more benefits from himself.
The more powerful the person, the fewer friends there are, the dragon looks down on many juniors, and there are only three in the Bafang ruling country, and he can still look at it, a big reason is that he has lived too long, before the fat city lord criticized him and said, "Where do you know how to govern the country, you are a lone ranger." In fact, it's not that he doesn't understand, how can a person who has lived for 5,000 years still have things that he doesn't understand, he just doesn't want to quarrel with him, if he is talking a lot and making that dead fat man speechless, it will be too hurtful.
The reason for having fewer friends is that they are too strong, the more they stand at the top of the world, and the longer they live, the fewer people they can communicate with, because they have long understood the truth of others, and others do not understand the truth they say, because they are too naΓ―ve, their vision is too narrow, and the summer insects cannot speak.
You can't really understand how much competition there is in society with a group of kids who are less than eight years old, because they haven't seen it at all.
In front of Long Yi, all of humanity today is like a group of children who are less than eight years old. Including the fat city lord, the difference is that he is a fairly sensible, slightly older child.
But even so, he was still pursuing a higher realm, because the stronger he was, the more he felt how small he was in front of that realm, and even he felt that even those demon gods back then probably hadn't really stepped into that level.
Long Yi looked at the distant side, the land shrouded by the darkness of the eternal night, there was the polar night region, Aiyisha they couldn't see the outside world, naturally they couldn't see that countless streams were all flowing towards that dark area, countless creatures were rushing towards that valley, maybe now the countless dark rivers underground had changed their tracks and converged there.
The gods fluctuate, and all things make a pilgrimage.
He said silently.
"To the true God, we are nothing but worms."
Then he changed his mind and said.
"However, God's past is just a worm."
