Chapter 8: The Ancients
Those dozens of fungus were tortured and killed by the sand-bodied people like this, and there was no room for resistance, even the action of escaping was ......
Why didn't you run away?!
It stands to reason that creatures like them who have become spirits are absolutely instinctive to seek good fortune and avoid evil.
Knowing that he is invincible and still playing with the sand-bodied person does not look like he wants to kill the sand man.
If they are chased and killed by the sand-bodied people, they are forced to fight for their lives when they are cornered, but they do not have that momentum, but seem to have other purposes.
Defector?
The meaning of this title is not small...... Could it be that those disciples have anything to do with the sand-bodied ones?? It's the same as the brain monster, it's in the relationship between following and being followed??
Just when I was confused, the ground suddenly trembled.
Although I didn't know what was going on underground, my gut told me that the source of all this tremor was in that huge crater.
With the tremor of the earth, the raging wind in the sky slowly stopped, and countless yellow sand that was swept into the sky fell like this.
The sound of rattling sounded like it was raining.
At this time, the silent sand-body man opened his mouth without warning.
"The Ancients.......
When these three words came out, the amplitude of the ground tremors became more and more intense, and a lot of green light gradually appeared in the bottomless pit.
At the same time, the edge of the crater began to collapse downward, and the entrance of the hole was rapidly expanded four or five times, and the light that seemed to be condensed by life force became more and more dazzling.
After a while, a giant covered in dark green flames crawled out of the pit unhurriedly.
It wasn't until it came out of the pit that it held the ground with its hands and slowly straightened up.
It was a humanoid creature, and no matter how you looked at it, its limbs and torso were very similar to those of a human, except that the surface of its body was covered in a layer of green flames, and I couldn't see what was going on.
"The Ancients......." I murmured, staring at the giant motionlessly, not the slightest fear in my heart, but an inexplicable sense of intimacy, like meeting an old friend and relative who had been reunited for a long time, and the mood was indescribably relaxed.
It turns out that this is the Ancients....... They were the ones who drove the old creatures of the Sandboers, the Black Robe King, out of this world........
But are they really them???
Why does it look like it's not a deterrent at all?
This ancient man has the same physique as the sand-bodied person, but his body is much burlier, perhaps because the constantly surging and churning flames have a visual fattening effect, and he looks quite strong.
Other than that, I don't feel like this ancient is threatening, like a big green tree that grows naturally, and it doesn't pose a threat to anything in the outside world.......
Doesn't that look too weak? It's very different from what I imagined to be an ancient!!
Compared to the Sandman, it is simply a harmless green fire giant......
Just when I was a little disappointed in the Ancients, this giant surrounded by flames opened its mouth coldly, and the voice it spoke in the same voice that had just introduced me to the "Disciple Fungus".
That's right! I'm sure it's it!
"Sand-bodied...... Calamity King......." The Ancient muttered, "You have chased ......."
"You and your people will be ......buried by us," the Sandman said word by word, his tone so calm that he couldn't feel the change in his mood at all.
"When you are in ashes...... We're still the same...... Your kingdom will never come......."
Hearing the Sand Body's words, the Ancient Man raised his hand, as if looking at his palm.
Even if I can't see its eyes, I can still feel the complex gaze.
"Nowadays.... The world is a desert....... And we are the oasis......." muttered the Ancient, every word smelling visceral, sounding not provocative at all: "It will be buried...... It's you lost people in the desert......."
As he spoke, the Ancient Man slowly spread out his hands, spread his arms, and raised them flat.
The flames burning on its arms also began to condense at this time, and they all seemed to turn into dark green liquids, which kept sliding down its arms and falling into the yellow sand.
The yellow sand that comes into contact with these liquids will change almost instantaneously.
At first, it turns pale green, and then a moss-like patch grows on the surface, and the peculiar smell of the plant can be smelled from a long distance.
This vision of the yellow sand turning into an "oasis" did not stop soon, but began to spread wildly like an infectious disease.
In just a few seconds, the yellow sand within a radius of one kilometer, with the ancients as the center, has been turned into an oasis.
And this change is spreading faster and faster, and it is quite implicit that it wants to occupy the entire desert.
"This is not you......." the Sandboo whispered, but his tone was not as calm as before, with some slight changes.
It seems to be ...... Murderous?
"This place belongs to me....... The desert is my empire........"
When the Sandman said this, the wind that had only stopped for a short time began to howl and rage again.
But this time, the wind did not sweep away the sand, not even one or two, and I could feel the gust of wind blowing from above.......
With the appearance of this gust of wind, the strange changes made by the ancients also showed signs of being blocked.
The oasis is spreading more and more slowly, but it is undeniable that it has not really stopped, it has just become much slower.
"My Empire....... Never die....... It's in every piece of gravel........"
The moment the Sand-Bodyed Man said this, it pounced directly on the Ancient, and at that time, the flames on the Ancient's body began to intensify and the green light emitted by the flames began to become dazzling.
When the Sand-Bodyed Man collided with the Ancient, the green light suddenly brightened countless times, and all I could see was these lights, and nothing else could be seen.
When I closed my eyes, rubbed them vigorously and opened them again, I realized that my position had changed again.
I was no longer in the middle of the sand, but on a cliff by the sea.
Behind him are mountains stretching for thousands of miles, and in front of him is the deep black sea that stretches as far as the eye can see.
The Sand Body, the Black Robe King, the Brain Monster, Beigong, the Erbi Body.......
Many of the monsters I have seen or heard from the mouth of Wu Immortal Buddha are the monsters of the old days...... They are all standing in the sea, or suspended above the surface.
To be honest, I couldn't see them clearly because they were far away from me and could only be identified by the blurred back.
All the creatures of the old days were heading to the depths of the ocean, far from land, and not far behind them were hundreds of giants enveloped in green flames.
It's the ancients....... They're chasing the creatures of the past!!
I remember both the Sandman and the Black-robed King mentioning "that war", and it was a war between the old creatures and the Ancients, and the old creatures were on the losing side, and the winners were the Ancients.
However, I also vaguely remember that they mentioned that the relationship between the Sand Body and the Ancient One seems to be more delicate, unlike the Black Robe King, who was forcibly driven away.......
I looked at the scene in front of me, and my consciousness, which had just awakened a lot, suddenly became blurry, and I felt like I was about to wake up.
"Little brother."
The sixth master's voice appeared very suddenly, and it sounded in my ears without warning, and his tone seemed to be quite nervous, with a sense of urgency.
"Brother Shen!! Hurry up and open your eyes!! Your flesh is going to be ruined!! ”
Hearing this, I shook my head vigorously, trying to get out of this state.
But no matter what I did, even if I pumped my own big mouth, I couldn't return to the real world, and I was still in this state of not knowing whether it was a dream or an illusion.
The old creatures were getting farther and farther away from me, and it seemed that they had run to the other side of the ocean, and I couldn't see them anymore.
And the ancients who were chasing after the creatures of the old days also stopped, raised their heads and looked up, not knowing what they were looking at.
I didn't think much of it, and subconsciously followed their gaze.
It's true.
I've never seen so many stars.
"Fuck! Wake up for Lao Tzu!! ”
"Bang!"
