Section 156: Set sail

In a desperate situation, Needle Jin's heart is still full of doubts.

"They don't have a heart core, but they do, why? What is the reason for this?"

"What is the cause of the formation of the heart nucleus? Is it poisoning? Is it because of the severity of one's own injury, and there is a lot of fire poison in one's body? Or is it luck, will, or strength, luck, and a combination of injuries. ”

In addition to the doubts, there are many fears in the heart of the needle: "Will one day I also become this beast man?

"Is it true that my heart is not affected by the heart core?"

As Needle Gold continued to reflect, the fear in his heart grew deeper and deeper.

"No, I'm afraid I'm deeply affected!"

"I used to be worried and jealous about the heart core, but after being forced by the situation and using it more often, I began to accept it unconsciously. By now, I have relied on it deeply. Halfway through, if I hadn't been introspective, I'm afraid I would have been obsessed with it. ”

"Whenever I use my heart core and transform into a monster, my temperament seems to become arrogant, and I despise all beings who are weaker than me from the bottom of my heart. Absorption and transformation. I've become so immersed in this power that I'm losing control of myself. ”

"My actions, my thoughts, have actually drifted off the course of the Templars!"

"I seem to ...... All the time...... Depraved?!"

"God, my Lord, the Great Holy Emperor. Respond to me, have mercy, save me. Here is Thy lost Lamb......"

Needle Gold once again half-knelt on the deck, facing the direction of the Shengming Continent, bowing his head and praying.

As with all previous prayers, the result was still unanswered.

And this prayer is also different from the night prayer in the recent period.

There was no longer the slightest peace and solace in the heart of the needle.

Because he realized his own depravity, he also realized a possibility - the reason why the Emperor Shengming did not respond to himself was that he was already degenerate?

"Am I a despised fallen knight?"

"What the hell am I going to do?"

"Should I confess? Tell my companion that I'm a mutant too, and I'm actually ...... Beastly monsters?"

"No, I can't do that. ”

As the leader, Needle Kim knows very well that the current situation of the team is very dangerous, and the collapse is likely to be within the moment. There was hope that a new ship would go to sea, but now everyone is in a desperate situation.

"Even if I'm degenerate and no longer a Templar, even if I'm actually a beastly transformed monster, I should play the role of this leader. ”

They needed leaders, they needed Templars, they needed support, they needed new hope.

Even the needle gold himself has no support, there is no hope.

That's the burden a leader should bear!

Gradually, he felt like he was out of breath.

After all kinds of hardships, his state of mind has changed many times, and it is no longer what it used to be. However, this heavy feeling that made him unable to breathe hit again.

Once again, he realized his naivety.

His fear comes not only from his surroundings, but also about his own future, and not only from the safety of his companions.

Right now...... He is also afraid of himself!

"What if at some point, I become a complete beast, lose my mind, and hurt other people?"

"I might even kill the beard, blue-green algae or even purple pedicle with my own hands, what should I do if something like this happens?"

"Can I control the changes?"

"For a short time, it seems like yes. It's like I have a heart core, and the heart core should allow me to control the mutation perfectly...... Right?"

There was no way for the needle gold to skyrocket, and he couldn't even determine how the heart core was formed.

Perhaps, he is not far from complete furious beasthood, not far from complete madness. Maybe in a few days, next time?

"Perhaps, I am not the only one who has such a hidden danger. ”

"There are others, too! These beastly and violent companions are just the first batch. Next, there is a second batch, a third batch...... Even the last survivor will be reduced to one of the monsters seen on this island. They will hate all outsiders, and they will only think that they are a demonic beast, with no humanity and no memory. ”

How cruel this picture of the future is, it makes Needle Gold feel chills every time he thinks about it.

He suddenly thought again, "Wait, could it be because of my amnesia?"

"Why did the beastly companion fall into madness? Perhaps it was the inherent memory, the violent conflict and contradiction between the original memory and the own life form, which could not be accepted, and therefore became crazy. ”

"Why am I the only one who can control the mutation? I am the only one who has the heart core? Maybe amnesia is the main factor. ”

"It is precisely because I have amnesia, but I insist on my faith and the way of knighthood, that I have not been violently clashed between the two, and I have preserved my humanity to the greatest extent. ”

"How does the Lord of the Island make people beasts? Maybe the environment he transforms is a constant loss of humanity. After a long time here, our humanity will be eroded by animal nature and gradually devoured. The higher the degree of devouring, the deeper the animality. In the end, he completely lost his humanity and was fully covered by animal nature, so that he went completely crazy?"

"And every time, I stick to my principles and bottom line, which is the victory of human nature over animal nature. This victory, accumulated, gave me a heart core, allowing me to rationally manipulate the mutation, while others couldn't. ”

"If this speculation is true, then I carefully check the absorption of my companions after the beast transformation, will I absorb their beast nature and let them come to their senses?"

"No, my heart core absorbs blood. The companions after the beast transformation are a mixture of the bloodline of the Warcraft and the bloodline of the human race. I'll absorb all these bloodlines!"

"Those demonic bloodlines, in fact, I have them now. There is no human bloodline, and the addition of these bloodlines will not stabilize my human nature, will it prolong the time I am away from complete madness?"

Thinking of this, Needlegold's body trembled violently, and his face turned pale.

"Damn it!"

"What the hell is wrong with me?"

"I actually want to attack my companions, attack the Terrans?!"

However, another voice sounded in the heart of the needle.

"Don't limit your movements anymore. You should be bolder, we're in a desperate situation now, and we're going to tie ourselves down until death finally comes, and it's too late! You can't do it all over again, can you?"

"Besides, it's not like you're going to kill the living with your own hands. It's just that you absorb those dead companions, they are going to be buried anyway, they have no other value at all, they are completely wasted!"

"Hurry up, it'll be too late if you don't do it. Not long after these people died, you can absorb the transformation now, and you will benefit far more than if you did it later!"

"Don't forget your family, you are also thinking about other people. If it weren't for these people, you could have changed and escaped from the island on your own. ”

"It's because of them that you're here, aren't you?"

"Don't stick to something unnecessary, think about it, how many times have you regretted it? What did you think about the time you were almost killed by a gun scorpion?

"Do you want the tragedy to happen again?"

"This time it's the old boatwright, and next time, cyanobacteria, cangbeard, or purple di!?"

"No, don't say it again! Don't say it again!!" Needle Gold was in agony, and he went from half-kneeling to kneeling, and he bowed his head deeply, and buried his face in the palms of his hands.

His thoughts were so flooded that he suspected that he had fallen, and most of the self-confidence that had supported him had dissipated.

He began to lose his senses.

He couldn't tell which of the thoughts he thought of himself were the counsel of reason and which were the temptations of depravity!

The needle gold was in a state of unprecedented shaking and confusion.

The next moment, it was really shaken.

Thundered!

In the midst of a huge roar, the heavens and the earth shook.

Again, the earth shakes!

The survivors who had fallen asleep screamed in horror and ran desperately out of the cabin.

The earthquake has struck again, and the scale is even bigger than the last one!

Right before people's eyes, the ground cracked.

As the island moved, the cracks grew larger and wider, extending from the direction of the volcano, cracking directly into the beach and forming an estuary.

The sea water is pouring in, and the water is surging.

It took more than two dozen breaths for the earthquake to subside.

A brand new river appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and people were shocked and speechless when they looked at the spacious river.

After a long time, the frightened people gradually reacted.

The finch fan knelt directly on the ground and cried in a low voice: "Can we really hold on? Can we really get out of here?"

No one could answer her question, not even the needle was silent.

"Even if we can hold on, I'm afraid this island won't last long!"

The crowd was desperate, and there was a gloom among the survivors.

"Perhaps, I have another solution here. Zidi said suddenly.

These words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Zidi's face showed hesitation.

"Tell me, what are you hesitating about at this time?" Black Roll urged.

Zidi took a deep breath and suddenly pointed to the volcano: "We can go to the most central area, where there may be hope of survival!"

Almost everyone stared, suspecting that they had misheard.

The beard, needle gold, and mane were flustered for a moment, and then they all reacted and groaned silently.

Zidi continued: "Remember what we analyzed? This island has an owner, he must be a great power! He has transformed this island, transformed the monsters, and even manipulated the weather. He seems to be cultivating biological weapons here, but whether it is a forbidden environment, or controlling the weather or forcing teleportation, a magic circle is needed. ”

"On this island, there must be the center of the magic array, or simply the mage tower. ”

"As long as we capture the center, there is hope of escape. ”

"Please, how can we be an opponent of the Lord of the Island?" He stared blankly at the cracked river, then at the erupting volcano, and then at the dark and heavy volcanic clouds overhead.

"I'm afraid something has happened to the Lord of the Island!" the magic circle is obviously out of control, the volcano erupts, and the earth is cracking! No, wait, when we first got back to the beach, the weather became very unusual, either torrential rain or rain, we have never encountered it. It is likely that it was out of control at that time. ”

"Maybe a little earlier. "In our earliest days, we encountered the blue dog fox wolf, and this kind of demonic beast was dispatched alone. But by the time we encountered them in the forest, an army of Warcraft had formed around them. ”

"Controlling the Warcraft Legion is a big burden for the blue dog fox wolf. To create a strange fragrance, you need to consume mana. The blue dog fox wolf has controlled the Warcraft Legion for a long time, and must devour other Warcraft to replenish his magic energy and continue to create strange fragrances. ”

Cangsu nodded and postscripted, "And the larger the scale of the Warcraft Legion, the greater the burden on the surrounding ecological environment. These monsters all need to eat!, therefore, the blue dogs, foxes and wolves are entangled in the Warcraft Legion, which is obviously not the norm. ”

"We stayed in the small valley, and the Warcraft Legion took the initiative to attack and continue to reinforce. This kind of posture is obviously sweeping away the enemy. It's a bold guess that it's likely that the Lord of the Island has sent an order to manipulate the Blue Dogs and Foxwolves to destroy all outsiders. ”

"If he's in good shape, he'll probably just blow our breath when he destroys us, and he won't make the island so turbulent. ”

"But he didn't do that, he let the island go, and against us he just ordered these Warcraft legions to take action. ”

"This shows that he is very weak, and can only let the blue dogs and foxes fight, and he is also afraid that we will escape and expose this place. ”

"Even, most likely, he is dead. ”

"Or, he's stuck outside for some reason and can't get back in time!"

Mango nodded, "That's true." Now is the best time for us to attack the center! Delaying it will only lead to a dead end. ”

Everyone was stunned.

Kuromaki swallowed: "Then why are we rushing to the center? The volcano is erupting there, can you be sure that the center is there?"

Cangsu took out the map from his bosom: "According to the map we are currently exploring, the center is a volcanic landform. Basically, the center of the circle, or the magic tower, is in the center. ”

Zidi added, "The operation of the magic circle requires a huge amount of energy, and the Lord of the Island may draw the surrounding elements, or he may use the mana pool in the mage tower. When something goes wrong, the most turbulent place is likely to be the location of the hub or mage tower. ”

Black Roll frowned: "It's all speculation, you have no evidence!"

Mane nodded, and he smiled, "Who can take it without proof?" but that's enough to gamble, do we have any other way to go?"

The crowd was silent again.

"Nope. "We can wait for help." It's crazy to attack the middle of the island! There's a volcano erupting there, and there's a Monster Legion along the way, and we're going to die halfway through. ”

"No, we use boats. "This will save us a lot of travel and time." ”

Black Roll was stunned.

Rope's eyes lit up and he shouted, "That's right, we can repair the ship." Although we could not sail, we were in front of an inland river, and there was no wind or waves. Volcanic clouds cover us and it doesn't even rain!"

"In fact, even if we wait for help, there will be hidden dangers. Don't forget, fellow beasts who died. It is likely that we have also been eroded by the environment, and have fallen victim to the methods of the Lord of the Islands. Can such a powerful method of his be easily dissolved, can it be purified by a random priest?"

"Also, if you take the liberty of playing with us and insulting us wantonly, will this hatred be forgotten?"

"Just now, Emperor Shengming conveyed a revelation to me!"

The crowd rejoined.

"Could it be that this river was created by Emperor Shengming?"

"No wonder we didn't die a single person. ”

"The will of the gods cannot be fathomed!"

"Divine Knight......" Cangsu bowed deeply to the needle gold and sighed, "This may be your hero's path." My Needle King!"

Almost everyone present had some scalp tingling.

They seem to feel like they are witnessing history!

If the epic of heroes is sung in the future, will we also have a role?

Needle Jin looked around to make sure that people's hearts had changed, and he ordered in a firm and loud voice: "It is so decided, to repair the ships with all our might, to cremate our companions, to collect as much food, water, and weapons as possible." We will set sail and we will go to ...... The most central part of the island!"
