Chapter 161: A Conversation with Yao
Thundered......
With a blinding flash of lightning streaked across the sky, it began to rain at some point. No icy cold rain flowed down Lu Lie's neck into his clothes and pants. My whole body started to become slippery and slimy, and it felt very uncomfortable, like I had been soaking in a pool of stagnant water for a long time.
He woke up from his dream. He looked up and looked at the howling wind and the mist, two indescribably large clusters of light slowly descending, the light so dazzling that it seemed as if tens of millions of suns were rising together. Lu Lie closed his eyes, avoiding looking at it for too long and blinding it.
"Where am I?"
Lu Lie had just asked this question in his mind, and his body shuddered for no reason. He remembered it, and everything came to mind. After leaving the Lost God City, he climbed all the way to the bronze wall with Li Yuan, Yang Wei and others, and on the way they were chased by an unspeakable monster, Li Yuan jumped down and tried to stop the monster, but it was obvious that he failed. Next, it's your turn to wait for someone......
However, at this moment of life and death, how did you sleep? How long did you sleep?
The only thing worth confirming is that this nightmare is not over. On the contrary, it is on the verge of reaching its highest peak.
In the dark storm, two huge clusters of light gradually descended on the top of the bronze wall where Lu Lie and the others were. Those two clusters of light were Yao's eyes, so there was no doubt that even if Lu Lie couldn't see the whole picture of this giant at all in this storm, he could still imagine that the giant at this moment was like a huge python, lying on this bronze wall, lowering his head and looking curiously at his three mortals hanging on the bronze wall.
As it got closer, closer and closer, the dazzling light became more and more dazzling, to the point where even closing the eyes felt unbearable. Lu Lie couldn't help but cover his eyelids with one hand. He felt a warm liquid run down the corners of his eyes. It's like rain falling from the sky, and it's like blood being squeezed out of your own eyeballs.
"My eyes...... I'm probably going to be blind. ”
Lu Lie thought weakly.
Maybe it was because he couldn't see, Lu Lie felt that his ears were much sharper. In the symphony of countless storms and storms, he could barely hear the nearby man-eaters roaring, "Animal-...... Come on!...... When you lower your head, that's the best time I can blind you...... If you don't believe me, just give it a try...... Lao Tzu doesn't care if you are Yao or what kind of giant tree god cult...... If you want to kill Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will kill you first!"
Thundered...... There was a low rumbling sound in the sky, like thunder, like the suppressed laughter of humans. At that moment, a trace of surprise flashed in Lu Lie's heart: this giant used to laugh too? He also has human feelings, and he also expresses feelings of ridicule, amusement, and pity?
Something even more surprising happened to Lu Lie, and the giant spoke. Although his voice can hardly be defined as a human one...... It was as loud as thunder, awkward, and rough, but Lu Lie could indeed hear the meaning of every word and every pause contained in it.
"Ugly look...... Mortals deserve to compete with me......"
The giant slowly lowered his head from mid-air, and a loud sound rumbled in Lu Lie's ears. That word by word hit Lu Lie's eardrum alive like a nail. Lu Lie felt that the dazzling light in front of him dimmed slightly, probably the giant in the air narrowed his eyes slightly. With this, Lu Lie endured the pain and discomfort and opened his eyes, but the merciless cold rain hit his eye sockets, and he had to close his eyes again.
As if thinking that the three little men did not understand, the giant repeated in mid-air, word by word, "ugly, fragile...... Are mortals worthy to compete with me......"
Lu Lie laughed, tears and rain flowed down his eyes. Facing the heavy rain all over the sky, Lu Lie closed his eyes, tore open his clothes and exposed his chest, letting himself be drenched.
"Mortal?" Lu Lie exclaimed, thinking about the direction of the imaginary giant, "Weren't you also a mortal hundreds of years ago?
There was silence for a moment in the darkness, except for the sound of the rain pounding against the eternal bronze walls. Suddenly, countless tidal waves of laughter sounded from all directions, as if they were about to drown Lu Lie in the center, and as if they were drilling out of the depths of Lu Lie's brain, trying to drill a hole in his skull.
Mixed with the countless mockings, the giant's laughter was low, terrifying, like thunder.
"Monster?" the giant pointed to himself, "You say I'm a monster?"
"Isn't it?"
"It's you, it's you, who are really monsters! I really want to show you a mirror and show you your own ugly appearance! slender limbs and neck, that huge, blood-ridden head, disproportionate facial features...... To me, you are disgusting like arthropods crawling on the ground, living in dark, damp soil...... Yes, I used to be one of you, but as a human I felt a deep disgust and disgust for myself! disgusting, disgusting, disgusting, like a spider realizing how ugly she was. Now I am the one who is constantly evolving towards the supreme and perfect biological form!"
Lu Lie's mind moved, he closed his eyes, and continued to roar: "Since you accuse us of being inferior creatures, what kind of form do you think the most perfect creatures are?"
The laughter from all sides surged up again, as if Lu Lie had asked a stupid question. The laughter was maddening, with a hint of inducing humanity to perdition.
"That's why I'm not going to kill you, see for yourself. "Just keep climbing and never stopping." Go to the top of the tree and see what perfection is and what is supreme. It's the land of the gods, and it's the home I've been waiting for for hundreds of years......"
The rain grew heavier, and the entire bronze wall began to shake violently. Lu Lie felt that the world began to turn upside down, the sky turned into the earth, the stars fell into the abyss, and countless rains converged into a great river that never stopped leading to the end of time and space. Carrying Lu Lie, he rushed to the unknown front. Before Lu Lie lost his last consciousness, the only thing he heard in his mind was "the kingdom of the gods......
