Chapter 41: On the Road
When Lu Lie was woken up, it was already three days later.
It seemed that under the Kun Thunder Beast, there were countless noisy voices around him, and those voices were all suppressed to the extreme, but they contained many complex feelings of anger, surprise, fear, and despair. Even the Kunlei Beast, this huge giant beast, its body was trembling slightly, and it didn't know what it was afraid of or excited about.
Lu Lie opened his eyes in a daze, and he saw that Li Yuan was not far from him, sitting cross-legged on the ground, leaving only a lonely and emaciated back. Lu Lie moved his somewhat numb limbs a little, and the sound that made it alarmed Li Yuan in front. He turned his head, looked at Lu Lie, put his finger on his lips, and made a silent gesture.
Lu Lie didn't know what was going on outside, he just looked at Li Yuan with curious eyes, as if asking: What happened?
Li Yuan lowered his voice and said softly, "In the depths of the Yellow Spring Country, the Protoss encountered a terrible enemy. Now, they're fighting beneath the Kun Thunder Beast. ”
Lu Lie was stunned: "What kind of enemy is that? ”
He wondered what was going on outside the Kun Thunder Beast. He couldn't see the scene below, but from his vantage point, he could only hear the voices of the Protoss, but he couldn't hear any sounds from the enemies fighting them.
"No, I don't recommend that you go down and help. Even, I don't recommend that you see that scene of the battlefield, it may be harmful to your body and mind. Li Yuan said, "Just sit here and wait quietly." The Protoss can handle these things well. And all we can do is wait. ”
Gradually, the sound of the golden iron horse outside the giant beast slowly faded away.
The cries of countless Protoss also ceased, as if all the enemies who fought them had been destroyed.
Lu Lie, who was sitting on the back of the Kun Thunder Beast, felt that the Kun Thunder Beast stood up from the ground again and moved forward again.
Gradually, Lu Lie fell into a deep sleep again.
From beginning to end, he didn't poke his head out to look at the outside world. He didn't know what the monsters were fighting the Protoss were.
......
and he slept in silence for three days. Lu Lie was so tired, too tired, he dreamed of countless old people in his dreams, Su Wen, Yang Wei, Cannibal Owl, Rose Tiger, Little Dream, Santou, and the places he had been to along the way, the City of Lost Gods, the Void Walkway, the Land on the Tree, the Cloud Ruins Port, the Bronze Altar, and the Top of the Giant Tree.
Life is like a long climb, and no one can be freed. And at the end of that climb, the only reward for the tree climber is death.
The only thing worth celebrating, and fortunately, is that Lu Lie's current climb is almost at the end of his life.
Lu Lie was woken up from his slumber again, and this time it was not the sound from the outside that woke him up, but a faint stench. It smelled like eggs and pork that had been laid for ten days under the scorching sun, and like the smell of countless flies laying eggs. It's not particularly smoky, but it's definitely not pleasant. Lu Lie first dreamed in a dream that he was climbing on top of a giant tree alone, and every time he almost climbed to the top of the tree that was close at hand, countless flies and black pressures passed over his head, and countless unknown filth fell beside him. He smelled the real smell, felt fear in his heart, let go of his grip on the tree wall, and fell off the cliff, watching his destination disappear before his eyes.
He tasted such falls and fears in reincarnation again and again, and the more times he came, Lu Lie also began to have doubts. He gradually realized that he was dreaming, and then he woke up from the dream.
Lu Lie was the first to open his eyes, and what he saw was still Li Yuan's back. Only this time the other party stood up and stood on the edge of the back of the Kunlei Beast, frowning and looking down, not knowing what he was pondering in his heart.
The Kun Thundermon stopped moving forward again. Lu Lie could feel it, because the earth was no longer jolting, and the blue stars in the sky were no longer moving backwards.
"What happened?"
Lu Lie asked.
"After going deep into the forbidden area of the Yellow Springs Country, the team that protected us from the Protoss was attacked by a group of even more terrifying dead creatures, they were all wiped out, and even the Kunlei Beast was killed by those creatures. ”
"We're stuck here, we can't move forward, we can't go back. ”
After getting Li Yuan's reply, this was obviously terrible and sensational news, but I don't know why, Lu Lie's heart couldn't help but feel a little tired.
He didn't even bother to stand up and walked over to the back of the Kun Thunder Beast to see what the dead creatures that were attacking the Protoss were.
"Those creatures won't come up and attack us for the time being, will they?" Lu Lie just asked this question.
"Not yet. Li Yuan said, "These Protoss are very trustworthy, and they desperately hit these monsters before they die, causing them to temporarily retreat. Moreover, the Kun Thunder Beast also activated an enchantment before it died to protect us hiding on its back, even if these dead creatures returned, they would not be able to break these barriers for a while. ”
"Looks like these guys really gambled everything to get out of here. Lu Lie sighed.
He then asked, "So what are we going to do now?" ”
"No," Li Yuan said, "this is no longer a forbidden area of death where human strength can live. A piece of grass, a piece of wood, and even a stone under our feet are deadly poisons for us humans. The moment we get off the back of the Kun Thunder Beast, we're afraid we're going to die. ”
"The only thing we can do now is wait. ”
"Oh. Lu Lie said perfunctorily. I don't know if I agree with Li Yuan's point of view, or if I just want to end the conversation.
He closed his eyes and fell back into a deep slumber.
After a while, Li Yuan retracted his gaze from the distance of Huangquan Kingdom. He turned his head and looked at Lu Lie's sleeping appearance. A hint of apology slipped through Li Yuan's eyes: "I'm sorry, Lu Lie." ”
"I lied to you. ”
"All of this, from the very beginning, was a hoax. And at the center of this scam is you. ”
"And now, it's time to put an end to this scam. You have no use and will cease to exist in this world. ”
"I will always remember that time in the giant tree, though. You, Lu Lie, will always be my best friend. ”
