Chapter 30: The Void Beast
"Here...... Where is it?"
Lu Lie hooked his little finger in pain.
"This is the belly of the Void Beast. Hehe, little brother, you also listened to the words of those three-fart freaks and touched that little hill, so you were eaten here. ”
In the darkness, there was a sigh from an old voice.
Lu Lie asked casually, but he didn't expect someone in the darkness to answer him. But there was really a voice that answered Lu Lie's question.
Anyway, at this point, the situation couldn't get any worse. Lu Lie only thought he was dead, so instead of being very afraid of this voice, he asked instead: "Who are you? Why are you trapped here like me? What is the Void Beast? If Lao Tzu is really eaten by it, why hasn't he died yet? This Void Beast's belly is also a little too big. ”
This time, the old voice in the darkness was silent for a long time before sighing faintly: "You have so many questions, why are you 100,000?"
It wasn't until he heard this voice for the second time that Lu Lie suddenly felt a little familiar. As if I've heard this guy somewhere. But for a moment he couldn't remember where it was. Such thoughts had been tormenting him faintly, as uncomfortable as a fishbone stuck in his throat.
Lu Lie thought for a moment and asked, "Are you a human or a ghost?"
As soon as he asked this sentence, he regretted it a little, isn't this a nonsense? Sure enough, the man's disdainful sneer came from the other side of the darkness: "Boy, after you were swallowed here, you won't be scared stupid." If I were a ghost, wouldn't this be a netherworld, a world of the dead, and you wouldn't be a living person either. ”
Lu Lie sneered: "I'm sorry, I've heard too many inhuman creatures talk about people recently, and I've become a little suspicious." ”
Suddenly, a lightning-like thought flashed through Lu Lie's heart, and he seemed to know who this old man was. In order to prevent himself from recognizing the wrong person, Lu Lie also deliberately asked stupidly: "Old man, did the expeditionary force of the Giant Tree God Sect really survive only Yao alone?"
The old voice was visibly flurry in the darkness, and when it spoke again, its voice became a little trembling: "Huh...... Hey, how do you know about the Cult of the Great Tree? Are you from that world too...... No, this is the Borderlands, a world connected to millions of universes, how can there be such a coincidence in this world......"
Hearing this, Lu Lie had already determined the identity of this person. He lay on the ground and laughed: "Old man, I'm afraid you've forgotten me." Oh no, it's more correct to say that I know you, but you've never met me. Yes, one of the survivors of the Giant Tree God Cult on the giant tree back then, an old scientist who hid under the Lost God City and studied the formula of Hundred Years Yao. ”
Yes, the old man who was trapped in the belly of the Void Beast with Lu Lie at this moment was the old man that Li Yuan met in the cave after Lu Lie and his party fell off the suspension bridge in the Maze God Palace and fell into the Valley of Ten Thousand Corpses. Although Lu Lie had never really "seen" this old man (he had only met him in a dream), through the ability of the Eye of a Thousand Worlds of the Green Ant that had not yet fallen, Lu Lie had already had a preliminary understanding of this old man who had been in retreat in the Lost God City for a hundred years.
It's just that I don't know why, this old man is studying and studying in the Lost God City, how did he also be transported to this borderless land?
Could it be that he also climbed to the top of the giant tree after himself, and followed him to the top of the giant tree?
But how is this possible? Lu Lie has been climbing on top of the giant tree for several years, and he knows better than anyone how many monsters and dangers there are in the giant tree. If it weren't for the fact that he had many gods, the time giants given by Li Yuan, and the characters of the gods on his back, Lu Lie would not have been able to climb to the top of the tree without one of them. And what would a thin old man who had lived for hundreds of years? The probability of him climbing to the top of a giant tree on his own was about the same as the probability of a rabbit eating a whale.
What's more, according to the lifespan of a normal person, after a few hundred years, no matter how long a person is, he will only become a white bone. The reason why the old scientist has been able to survive until now is because he lives in the artificial Yellow Spring Kingdom built by Yao, and as soon as he leaves there, he will turn into a white bone.
All of this proves that old scientists shouldn't be here.
But he did it.
"Who are you?" Although Lu Lie was lying on the ground unable to move, his momentum was still not inferior to others, and he said sharply, "You can't be that old scientist! The real old scientist must be at the bottom of the Lost God City, still studying his worthless-fart Dafa." You know who he is, and you disguise yourself as him, and appear here, what is it for?"
"Who are you?" the old voice asked tremblingly, "I've been at the bottom of the Lost God City for hundreds of years, and over the years, only three adventurers have stumbled into my caves. But two of the three adventurers, whom I have seen with my own eyes, are dead...... There is also a man named Li Yuan who is not dead. But his voice, the way he speaks, is completely different from yours. Why do you know who I am? You should answer me, who are you?"
"Not true. The old scientist sat on the ground in the dark, "Are you too...... One of the expeditionary forces of the Cult of the Giant Tree for hundreds of years, a contemporary of mine? isn't right...... No way, the people of that era should all be dead. Even those who are alive and still alive in the City of Lost Gods have become unconscious walking corpses under the invasion of evil energy...... You can't be the person you were back then......"
Seeing that the old scientist's guess is getting more and more outrageous. Lu Lie deceived him before, but instead confirmed that this old man and the stupid old man sitting at the bottom of the Lost God City were the same person, and this time it should not be some kind of demon and monster illusion.
He simply opened the skylight and said brightly: "The person you said is called Li Yuan, is he sixteen or seventeen years old, tall and thin, but he talks and acts like a child...... Tell you, you know him, and I know him. Not only that, but I was also his companion, personally accompanying him on a journey through the giant tree, and finally watching him jump into the endless Yellow Spring.
"As for why I knew about the existence of this old thing of yours, it's very simple. I'm a Shikigami and have the ability to see other places. The scene of your meeting with Li Yuan in the cave a few years ago was clearly seen by me at that time. ”
