Chapter Forty-Three: The Return of Melancholy
Chapter 43: The Return of Melancholy
After learning about the important role of [Tombstone Moss] for the human beings in this world, Zhang Shen had an urge to do something, but unfortunately, his strength was limited, and it was impossible to meddle in a battle of that level.
Zhang Shen also tried to pry the blue phoenix and they shot, but the latter was unmoved.
According to Zihao, they only need to hand over the [Tombstone Moss] to Lu Chengfeng. Even if Lu Chengfeng failed to bring things back to the human city after the most difficult time, their "credit" and their "contribution" to this world have also been recorded, and what happens next has nothing to do with them.
Because, this war is destined to [Tombstone Moss] will enter the sight of human beings and attract more storms.
Although Blue Phoenix and the others felt guilty about their actions, they were only guilty of guilt.
In this regard, Zhang Shen also had nothing to say.
Although the group of nine people was moving aimlessly, in fact, they were still instinctively moving in the direction of Luoxia City.
Along the way, Zhang Shen learned a lot of things about the "Guardian Space" from Zihao and the others, especially some common sense things.
It's just that although the Blue Phoenix is quite strong in Zhang Shen's opinion, their level is actually limited, and this one has only experienced four worlds, and from their words, Zhang Shen learned that they encountered a very strong "betrayer" in the last world, and the guardians who entered the world died eighty or ninety percent, and the Blue Phoenix was lucky and escaped, and they also got the dying gift of a strong man named "Su Xin".
As for what the "betrayer" was, they couldn't say very clearly, but they only knew that the Dao was the opposite of the guardian.
It is precisely because the level of Blue Phoenix and the others is not high, so what they can tell is only common sense.
After several people's descriptions, a colorful and grand world appeared in the minds of Zhang Shen and the four people, making their blood boil, and for a while, the sadness was diluted a lot.
In the meantime, Zihao also revealed an important news.
Since the selection of people by the "Great Will" is purely random, there are not only people from the Xia Kingdom in the guardian space, but also people from other countries and continents, all kinds of people. What's even more entangled is that there are still "old-timers" in the Republic of China and even the Ming and Qing dynasties in the space! Although there are not many "old antiques" that can live for so long, almost all of them are strong and have their own unique methods.
It is precisely because of the mix of people of various countries, all colors, and all faiths that the guardian space is not so beautiful, and such a thing as "standing in line" is inevitable.
According to Zi Hao, the space is roughly divided into seven potential force zones: Yanhuang, Northern Europe (including Russia), North America (including Australia), South America, South Asia (including Japan), Africa, and Central Asia.
Zihao, they are all from the Xia Kingdom, and they naturally belong to "Yanhuang". However, this is only the most rough division, and in fact, there are a lot of messy teams in each potential area, and no one can dominate the potential area.
It is undeniable that everyone has more or less "hero dreams" in their hearts, so with the strength to be a hero, few people are willing to surrender to each other, which also leads to the vast majority of small groups of several people in the space. However, there are too few people to respond to danger. As a result, all sorts of alliances have emerged in space.
Zihao and the others belong to a subordinate team of a medium-sized organization called "Zhengming" in the "Dengdao Alliance" (referred to as "Dengdao") in "Yanhuang", and have not yet concluded a team contract. The so-called "affiliated squads" are those teams that are not strong enough to form or join the alliance and hope to take advantage of the alliance's convenience. In fact, "Zhengming" and Blue Phoenix do not have a direct affiliation with their "Sky Blue" team, and the relationship between the two is relatively loose.
The meaning that flows from Zihao's words is that he hopes that Zhang Shen and them will also become a subsidiary team of "Contention", and they will have a good response to large-scale tasks in the future.
In this regard, Zhang Shen and the three of them looked at each other a few times, and said that they would give a reply when the time came, as for Ouyang Tianqi, it seemed that he had the intention of becoming a lone wanderer, which made the Blue Phoenix and the others very surprised.
Stop-and-go, talking, laughing, and laughing, before you knew it, it was 9:40 in the morning.
The "return" is just over an hour away.
Blue Phoenix suddenly stopped, her face changed sharply, and an inexplicable mysterious aura appeared from her.
The power she chose inherits from the "Blind Sisterhood" leader "Blind Eye" Akara from the "Diablo" world, and has a series of abilities such as "Foresight", "Prophecy", "Seeing", "Perception", etc., although the abilities are a bit chaotic and each is not very strong, but it is still very useful in the early stage.
Zhang Shen and the four of them were naturally inexplicable, but Zihao and the others were overjoyed.
Blue Phoenix is like this, it is clear that he has "seen" the "opportunity"!
I didn't expect to have such an adventure when I was leaving, Zihao became excited.
After a long time, the blue phoenix calmed down, and his tone was a little strange: "It's [Tombstone Moss] ......"
………… Divide......... Cut......... Line.........
Lu Chengfeng finally escaped.
However, he would rather die there, with his brother and so many compatriots, than to survive like he is now, being carried on his back and hiding in Tibet, which is more miserable than a lost dog.
When he thought of those brothers who had been following him until now, and of the more than 300 compatriots who came to meet him but abandoned their bodies in the wilderness and could not even save their bodies, Lu Chengfeng's heart was like a knife, and the sharp pain like the huge waves gnawed at his heart, and even the pain of breaking his hands could not be compared, not even in case!
"Okay, the zombies we are chasing have been thrown away, there is a house ahead, Lu Chengfeng, Josed, let's rest for a while." The house mentioned by Ren Xing is actually a thatched hut temporarily built by farmers in summer to guard the melon fields, which is very simple, and now there is only a rough structure left, which can barely cover the figure.
The three of them entered the hut and released plants while taking time to rest to treat wounds and replenish energy.
Lu Chengfeng's wound had healed and scabbed, but his hands were broken almost at shoulder level, and it was impossible for him to grow back.
Lu Chengfeng, who was originally tall, burly, handsome and dashing, seemed to be fifty years old in an instant, with a slumped body, blank eyes, wrinkles on his face, and half of his hair white. Let Me Go and Josed saw it in their eyes, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
Just a few hours ago, they were still envious, jealous and hateful to the man in front of them, but now......
"There were more than three hundred when I set off, and there were only three when I came back, hehe......" Josed, who was also one of the five masters of Luoxia City, suddenly let out a strange smile of unknown meaning, "Lu Chengfeng, Lu Chengfeng, this is all because of you!" ”
Ren Wuxing froze for a moment, really not understanding why Josed would say such a thing at this time. Even if you are angry in your heart and extremely unhappy with Lu Chengfeng, you shouldn't be angry at this time.
It's all this time, and he still has the heart to engage in infighting?!
"Joserd, say less!" Let me do it.
Who knows, this guy who usually has a good temper actually glared at Ren Xing, and there was an inexplicable ridicule and pity in his eyes.
"What do you want to say?" After all, Lu Chengfeng is still Lu Chengfeng, even if it falls to this point, he still looks calm, his tone is flat, and there is no trace of waves. Even, Josed felt that the other party's gaze went straight to his heart, and he saw through everything he wanted to hide.
"Humph!" Josed snorted heavily and looked away, "I heard that you were chased by zombies because you stole their things, and I really want to know what the culprit of this is that caused all this to happen, and killed more than three hundred plant control masters in Luoxia City!" ”
The corners of Lu Chengfeng's mouth curled: "You really want to know Lu Dao?" ”
"Of course!" Josed sensed something was wrong. "I feel worthless for the more than 300 compatriots who died in vain, and I want to see what kind of magic that makes zombies and you go crazy like this."
"Lao Tzu is afraid of a hair, everything is fed to them to drink, as long as Lao Tzu moves his thoughts, they will become wasters! Besides, at this point, Lao Tzu has long had no way out! Josed comforted himself in his heart.
The smile on Lu Chengfeng's face was even worse: "Since you want to see it, let's take a good look." ”
Ren Xing was confused about the conversation between these two guys, but when he saw Lu Chengfeng agreeing, he couldn't help but stretch his neck. For that "thing", he naturally couldn't help but be curious.
"I put it in the left pocket on the inside of my coat, I have lost my hands now, you can take it yourself." Lu Chengfeng made a helpless expression.
Josed's expression suddenly became hideous.
"You want to lie to me, hahaha, ridiculous!"
"Ecstasy Grass Seed, let's launch!"
With Josed snorting coldly, Ren Xing, who was about to be on guard, suddenly felt as if someone was drilling with a drill in his head, and the severe pain made him unable to concentrate at all, and even rolled on the ground in pain, screaming loudly.
Lu Chengfeng was better than him, but he also fell to the ground with a bang, his whole face crumpled, and his mouth snorted.
This process lasted four or five minutes, and the message from Josed from the "Ecstasy Grass Seed" was almost over, and then it stopped urging. The current state of the two of them, let alone summoning plants, is a big problem at all.
"Tsk, the top ten heroes, I think it's almost a bear!" Josed sneered a few times, then kicked the road into the wind with a strong kick, rolling on the ground several times, covered in dirt and grass, and extremely embarrassed.
After confirming in the same way that he had lost the ability to resist, Josed crouched down beside Lu Chengfeng, shoved his hands into his clothes and fumbled, and soon, a smile appeared on his face.
It was a wooden box the size of a mobile phone, two fingers thick.
The treasure was in front of him, Josed couldn't help but swallow his saliva, wiped it with his sleeve, and slowly uncovered it.
The moment the lid of the box was opened, a sudden change occurred!
A burst of blue light shot out, split in two, and shot into the bodies of Josed and Let Me Go!
"It's not good, it's calculated!" Josed suddenly realized. However, he has no chance to fight back.
I could only hear a scream of "ah", and Josed bled through seven holes, fell to the ground on his back, and died!
Josed dies, his "Ecstasy Seed" fails, and Lu Chengfeng and Let Me Go struggle to get up from the ground.
Ren Xing's eyes were full of fear when he looked at Lu Chengfeng, although he lost the ability to resist just now, he saw everything in his eyes. He naturally hated a traitor like Josed, but he was even more afraid of a scheming and terrifying guy like Lu Chengfeng.
Lu Chengfeng saw it in his eyes and laughed at himself: "You and I have no grudges, what's so scary." ”
"Okay, come here, I'll remove that blue light for you, otherwise after a long time, I won't be able to do anything." Lu Chengfeng said comfortingly. He now has his hands broken, and he has to rely on this guy to return to Luoxia City, and even survive the next assassination, return to Hope City alive, and see her again.
"Okay, okay." Let me hesitate for a moment, and walk slowly over.
"Remove the blue light and put it in the right pocket inside your coat." Lu Chengfeng looked at the hesitant and let me go, and he laughed in his heart. It's really ...... that such a guy can become one of the five masters of Luoxia City
Ren Wuxing reached in with his slightly trembling right hand and touched the pocket that Lu Chengfeng said.
But—
Laugh at!!
The sound of flesh and blood being pierced by sharp weapons sounded, and Lu Chengfeng suddenly felt a pain in his heart.
He lowered his head, and a piece of "sword aloe vera" pierced his chest, completely shattering his heart.
"Lu Da Hero, you have been a hero for so long, how about giving me this position?" There is still a trace of hesitation and fear on my face, only the triumph and rampant of the success of the plan. "Send this thing back to Hope City, even if you can't become a hero, you can get a 'hero candidate' to do it! Wow ha......"
Lu Chengfeng spit out a mouthful of blood with "wow", and said intermittently: "Let me go...... I did get out of sight...... However, do you think ...... Are you winning...... Hey, hey, don't you ...... It's just a praying mantis, uh! ”
With a muffled snort, it ended the life of Lu Chengfeng, a hero.
Hearing the words of the road riding the wind, let me instinctively look backwards, but—
Burst!!
Blood splattered like a fountain.
At the last glance of my life, what I saw was my headless body and a few strangers.
………………
When Josed was in trouble, Zhang Shenjiu appeared more than ten meters away and saw everything in his eyes.
"It's a pity, we're still a step late." Zihao sighed.
"No, it's not too late. At least, for this worldly realm. The blue phoenix squatted down, picked up the wooden box, and uncovered it, and a piece of moss with a tender yellow color came into everyone's eyes.
"It is the hope of humanity in this world, let it grow up with the flesh and blood of heroes, traitors and careerists, and become a weapon to protect mankind for eternity." The blue phoenix carefully took it out and placed it at the heart of the road wind.
"I believe that this is also his wish."
……………………
Three years later, when someone discovered it, the kilometer radius was already occupied by tombstone moss, and it was full of life.
In another fifteen years, humanity completely wiped out zombies.
