Chapter 66: Ancient Legends (6)
Let's not talk about how to get water and food for the rest of their lives if they live on this completely empty land.
The current expeditionary force just wants to get off the tree and go home. They don't want to live in this weird place for the rest of their lives.
You know, under the tree, they also have parents, wives, and countless people waiting for the triumph of others.
The reason why they risked their lives to go up the tree was to find the legendary ultimate paradise at the top of the tree. But now the expeditionary force's operation has proven to be a complete failure. It is impossible for them to reach the top of the tree.
Then they had lost their reason to stay in the tree. Now, there are less than 5,000 survivors left, and the only thing on their minds is to go home.
Get off the tree and get out of this hellish place as far away as possible. It's better never to come back.
But Yao had a whim, what kind of country to build here. Not to mention the feasibility of various aspects, this proposal alone is enough to set off civil strife in the Third Expeditionary Force.
However, in the face of the anger of the crowd, Yao just gave an order indifferently: if you don't want to stay here, you can leave on your own.
But once out of the land. will never be allowed to come back.
On the first day, more than half of them left.
The next day, nearly a thousand more quietly fled.
On the third day, Mitou's mother couldn't bear it anymore. Although Yao said that it was all voluntary to stay. But Yao is a wise and brutal old man. She feared that she would suffer some terrible retribution if she left so openly. and a few of Yao's cronies and secret magicians, while he was sleeping, quietly slipped away.
Before Santou's mother left, she took one last look back, and there were only a few hundred people who were still with Yao at the moment.
And so ends the story.
After listening to this long story, Lu Lie and the others did not speak for a long time, immersed in that long and mysterious world. For a time, only the blood wind raging outside the mansion remained.
The vanishing expeditionary force, the human who turned into a wolf, the brutal old man, and finally entered the giant tree......
Anyway, it sounds more like a legend than history.
After a long time, Li Yuan jumped up dissatisfied: "And then? It's just gone? What is that cannibalistic blood light in the air, did your mother leave the giant tree, what is Yao's final ending, and, most importantly, did the expeditionary force that followed Yao stay in the giant tree build a new country?"
"You didn't mention any of that. Are you telling me that this inexplicable thing is the end?"
The three heads said indifferently: "Haven't you already seen their final outcome with your own eyes. ”
"What...... What do you mean?"
The three heads replied, "When the expeditionary force was far away from Yao, they thought that the nightmare was over and they would soon be able to descend from the tree. However, what awaited them in the giant tree was the attack of all kinds of strange creatures, wave after wave, causing heavy losses to the fugitives. If so, then what else can they live with......
"However, the survivors who left Yao found that no matter how they returned the way they came, or they chose other forks in the road, no matter how many roads they walked......, they could not find the exit!
"It's an alien space...... Lu Lie interrupted him, "This alien dimension wasn't artificially created, but originally existed inside this giant tree. ”
"I don't know what you call that. Anyway, it seems that you understand what I mean. ”
Lu Lie looked at him with a bright gaze: "But you haven't answered me yet." Your mother, and so many others, what is their final end. ”
The three heads replied, "Most of the detached ones died on the road. After a long journey, the remaining ones finally realized that they were destined to leave this place. In desperation, my mother and hundreds of other survivors had no choice but to turn around and look for Yao's station, begging for his forgiveness and shelter. ”
Lu Lie frowned, he knew that things were not so simple. Because Yao had clearly emphasized before: once you leave this land, you will never be allowed to return.
Li Yuan hated this three-headed weirdo the most. I couldn't help shaking him at the moment: "I'm damn." If you say that you will die if you say it is complete, you will die! ”
Mitou closed his eyes, as if caught in a long memory: "When my mother and the survivors returned to the land, they found that Yao and his hundreds of followers were gone.
Since then, after these hundreds of years, there has been no news of Yao. What remained in front of my mother's eyes was a huge city rising from the ground, and in the middle of the city, there was a group of palaces towering to the top of the mountain. Well, this is the place now. The city you are in was built by Yao and his followers hundreds of years ago. ”
Hearing this, Li Yuan's eyes bulged out, and he jumped up and waved his huge fist: "Stinky boy, you are talking nonsense again." It's only been a long time since you left, and there are only more than 100 people in Yao, how can you build such a big city? What's more, this city is so big, there is no problem for tens of thousands of people to live, and they only have hundreds of people, so why are they building so many houses and streets?"
Lu Lie pressed Li Yuan: "If you don't want to listen, don't listen, don't keep interrupting." ”
He knew that the three heads were not talking nonsense. It's not just time that is confused in this world, it's also space. The survivors of the expeditionary force may have only been roaming the Giant Tree for a few days, but for Yao's followers, decades, if not centuries, may have passed.
What's more, this Yao Ke is a once-in-a-century genius mystic, which can be compared to the likes of Su Wen. That being the case, whatever miracles he has created are not to be doubted.
Li Yuan puffed up his anger and ran back to his house.
Lu Lie looked at the three heads: "Then where did your mother and the other survivors go in the end?" ”
Santou smiled bitterly: "Where else can I go?" Although I have no choice but to settle down in this city where Yao left. It was here that I was born to her. ”
Lu Lie was a little confused, "There is no water here, and there is no field to grow crops, how can you have so many people to settle down for a long time." ”
The three heads replied, "Don't you understand?" From the beginning, Yao knew that it would be impossible for them to reach the top of the tree. His destination was never the top of the tree, but here!
"My mother didn't understand this at first. But when she had stayed here for a long time, she was amazed to find that she didn't have to eat, sleep, or even feel fatigue, hunger, thirst, pain, and all other human feelings.
"We even stopped aging. Even if you are seriously injured, if you are shot through the stomach and your head is cut off, nothing will happen.
"As long as the physical body is not completely destroyed, we can achieve true eternal life.
"This is the man-made Huangquan Kingdom created by Yao. ”
