Chapter 337: All the way to the sun
It's still gray all around, I feel like hell, it traps my heart, I was full of joy to come here, but now I can't wait to get out, I feel like Lao Hei is outside, he's not dead yet, he's looking for me, he needs me!
I searched around the ancient battlefield like crazy, countless blades were kicked down by me, I ran to the wolf smoke that would never be extinguished, looking for all possible exits in the smoke, I knew I must be wrong, but there was a force that forced me to do so, if I did nothing, I would have gone mad myself.
Slowly, I got farther and farther away from the big horned worm, he didn't seem to find it, he still lowered his head and didn't say a word, I never looked back, ran towards the sun that was not like the sun, there may be hope, through that sun, it may be another world, didn't it say that the light represents new life, maybe you can get a new life by going there, what is new life I don't know, but it must be more hopeful than the big horned worm trapped here waiting for that lump of wood, why I suddenly lost confidence in the big hornworm, I don't know, or because I never believed in him.
The sun seemed far away, a place that could never be reached, but as I kept running towards it, it was getting closer and closer, as if in front of my eyes, and I could reach out and touch the round ruddy luster.
The temperature around me was getting higher and higher, and black wolf smoke was burning all around me, and even the earth was burning, and I almost couldn't breathe when I was running, and I wanted to stop and catch my breath, but my body refused to be commanded by me, and my legs became a mechanical uncommanding state, and it kept carrying me towards the center of the flames.
The heat formed a substance in front of my eyes, the air flickered like a mirage rising from a charred asphalt road, I passed through a picture that I had never seen before, there were cities in the picture, those cities were very strange, but unfortunately I didn't even have time to look at them, they just passed me, like the scenery outside the train, what the hell was going on, I didn't have time to think, because the heat was too high, my eyes became blurred, and if I continued like this, I would definitely be grilled into a steak, or directly ignited, and finally turned into ashes.
My hair crackled in the air, my skin began to ache excruciatingly, and I looked up, only to see the last glimpse of the sunset, and my whole body suddenly burned.
I closed my eyes in fear and felt the unbearable pain from the flames on my body.
I don't know when a hand was on my shoulder, it was very soft, constantly shaking my body, and I felt like a burning charcoal fire, being played with between the palms of the master of this battlefield.
"What are you doing?" The sound of the bighorn worm came, and the pain in my body disappeared immediately, and I opened my eyes in confusion.
The surroundings turned out to be back to where I and the bighorn worm had landed, the sun was still far away, out of sight, there was no fire and no pain, and I stood stupidly on a raised hill with a spear in my hand.
"Me?"
The bighorn insect patted my arm: "I thought you were asleep, no matter how you shouted, you won't wake up." After he finished speaking, he said to himself: "It's amazing, you can fall asleep while standing." β
I looked around blankly, desolate, a little more weird than when I first came here, was I just having a dream, why is there that sun in the dream, is the old black voice also fake?
The light of the sun is not strong, I looked at it until a large area of black appeared in front of me, I hurriedly looked away, I did have a dream, but I have been packing up the weapons on the ancient battlefield, why did I suddenly fall asleep, maybe I was too tired, so is the dream giving me a hint of something, maybe that sun is the real exit, and because we are too far away, so we never thought to try to run towards it.
I shook my head, noncommittal, but I was afraid that before we reached the sun, we would suddenly turn into a fire like in a dream, burning forever in this ancient battlefield.
The flames will not burn people, but will only make people suffer endlessly, I thought, and looked at the bighorn worm, who still looked at me with a curious expression.
I took the spear from the ground and threw it into the pile of weapons I had gathered on the ground; "Have you come up with any good ideas?"
The bighorn worm shook his clothes, and the compass hung on his clothes, and said with a smile: "The compass is completely out of order when it arrives here, and it is impossible to judge the direction, let alone open the cross-point crossing to another dimensional world again, so I can be sure that the two of us are trapped here, but if your friend or something finds it, we still have a chance to survive." β
"Well, now it's all about finding food." I looked at the vast yellow sand and the wolf smoke in the distance, where to find food in such a desolate place.
The bighorn worm was a little surprised: "What? Do you want to settle here? β
I spread my hands: "What else?" We don't have a choice, we don't know how long we're going to be trapped here, we may not be able to get out for the rest of our lives, and if we don't find something to eat, we'll starve to death in a few days. β
The bighorn worm shook his head: "There isn't even a single bug here, how can there be food." β
"But there was a civilization here, a war of tens of thousands or even millions of people." I pointed to the desolate ancient battlefield: "Look at it, this endless battlefield is the best proof that since they can survive, then we can definitely do it too." "I don't know where to find food, but I'm sure I'll find it if I keep walking.
Who knew that the bighorn insect directly splashed me with a basin of cold water: "Don't be naΓ―ve, don't forget that this is a gap in space, and the people who can cross here are either already immortals, or almost immortals, those immortals can survive sleeping in the open, so they don't necessarily need food, maybe they can live for several years by eating some sand, although I think you may be a half-baked immortal now, but maybe you can live for a long time if you eat some mud and sand, I am a mortal in the flesh, and I will definitely die without eating for three or five days." β
I was stunned: "Don't be funny, when do you still say such frustrating words, if you don't look for it, how do you know if there is a civilization, if there is no civilization, where do these weapons come from?" Of course, it may have been brought by these people when they crossed over, but they all have to be found, right? Full of hope that you will be able to live longer, so if you give up at the beginning, how will you live in the future? β
The bighorn insect looked at me and was stunned for a while, then pulled out a machete from the ground and put it on his shoulder: "Well, you're right, how do you know what the result is if you don't look for it, let's go, let's cross this battlefield, maybe we will be able to find more things, if I really find a civilization, I don't have to go to outer space, wouldn't it be good to stay here, it's comparable to a paradise." β
I grabbed the spear again, swept it to test its power, and then walked towards the ancient battlefield: "Have you ever seen a battlefield in someone's paradise, don't think too much, you are bound to be sad if you think too much." β
The bighorn worm followed me, without saying a word, and I didn't have the heart to talk to him, I always felt that Lao Hei was here, right next to me, and he was looking at me with those black eyes, but he couldn't say or do it, so he could only watch me go down helplessly.
I'm sure he's here.
