Chapter 594: A Desperate Discovery
There was silence, and no one spoke along the way, and the picture he had just seen kept echoing in his mind.
They clutched the storage equipment on their waists or in their arms, and looked at one of the statues, all of which were the kind of existence they had just seen, and this kind of vibration could not be calmed down no matter what.
And there is no doubt that after this experience, this team has completely changed.
It's not a change in the mission, it's an attitude towards this mission.
At first, their attitude was to complete the task and protect the works even if they died.
And now.
Although this has not changed, the course of the mission has completely changed.
They chose to protect the works to the death because they knew the value of the works and the importance of their mission.
But after knowing how strong the Chaos Beasts were after these works were activated, the process completely changed while they completed their tasks in a golden area.
Joke!
This kind of chaos beast, even if it is only activated, as long as it exists, let alone some ant-like star beasts, even if it is a star ancestor, I am afraid that it will not be able to escape its devouring, right?
And in this case, do they still need to be as careful as before?
Not at all!
Of course, this is on the premise that they will not be exposed, that is, they will not encounter too many enemies.
And in this case, there is simply no need for them to be careful.
At the very least, they can be a little bolder, and at the same time, it can also make them get things done a little faster.
This point was tacitly approved by Xu Yuan.
Although they are still cautious in normal times, if they are within the range of the predetermined activation position, they don't need to be so careful, and even because they have encountered a group of star beasts several times, they are even more fearless and directly use the power of the chaos beasts to wipe them out.
This made the crowd more than twice as fast.
After all, if they are careful, it means that they are slow and need to explore and dodge step by step, but in this situation, their speed is completely up.
As a result, the usual situation of activating a maximum of about three statues a year is also directly doubled.
Everything is in order.
There may have been some special circumstances along the way, and even extremely dangerous situations, but with the Chaos Beast as the hole card, the entire team only lost two people, and in the blink of an eye, eighteen years have passed.
Eighteen years, plus the previous moments, more than twenty years have passed, which is not a long time for the people who are martial artists, and perhaps in the eyes of some of them, this is even just a few retreats and meditations.
However, that was cultivation, and it was obviously incomparable to this situation.
In a strange and dangerous foreign land, this in itself is a kind of long-term and highly tense day, and in the past eighteen years, they have been busy almost all the time, busy completing tasks, occasionally repairing, and at most a few days, usually either wandering around dangerous places, or on the way to complete tasks, and even fighting.
In this case, for everyone, eighteen years is enough to make them physically and mentally exhausted.
At this time, the group of people had already been disgraced, as if they were already savages.
There is no way, although they can solve other aspects of hygiene or something, but in terms of clothing, they are not so prepared, many people even just brought a change of clothes at the beginning, they have no storage equipment, and it is very good to be able to carry such a set.
And this makes them have to say that they have to find other ways, after all, it is impossible to be naked, right?
At this time, these disciples of the Taiqing Sect were dressed in some clothes sewn from animal skins, weren't they like savages?
"Take an inventory, how much is missing. Xu Yuan, who looked tired, led a group of disciples to a death star, and after carefully inquiring to make sure that there was no danger, he immediately ordered to ask.
"I still have two ...... here"
"Back to the third elder, I still have five ...... here"
"I have four ...... here"
"Three ......"
After careful calculation, Xu Yuan got the answer.
In the past twenty years, except for a few that were accidentally lost, they have activated a total of about seventy Chaos Beast sculptures, and the remaining ones are sixty-three.
Xu Yuan was very satisfied with this result, he had been nervous all these years, but at this time, he rarely showed a smile: "Everyone, good, to this extent, in fact, our task has been completed, because according to the task given to us by the sect, it is enough to have these activations." ”
From the very beginning, their task was not to complete the activation of all the sculptures.
Half, this is the most basic criterion for completing the task.
After all, even Xiao Tie has to calculate the loss of this.
And now, they've done it.
However, the crowd was not very excited.
"Great, we're relieved. A disciple of the Taiqing Sect let out a big sigh and smiled heartily.
"Yes, over the years, we have been afraid that we will not be able to complete the task assigned by Master Xiao, and we will have no shame to face his old man, but now that it has finally been completed, we don't have to worry about it this time. ”
"That being said, we can't be too happy, isn't there so much more?"
"yes, there are so many ......"
You know, they've been doing more than just to get things done.
And over the years, they have seen too much in this strange world, especially the star beasts, as time goes by, they have more and more understanding of this side of the world, and after they have more and more understanding of the star beasts of this world, their mood at this time is definitely not good.
The situation of all the disciples is similar, and there is a touch of perseverance in the solemnity.
"Third Elder, although I don't know why Master Xiao asked us to complete this task, or rather, we can't imagine his old man's thoughts at all, but what I have seen here over the years, all of us are simple, I think you also know ......."
A young man with a resolute face half-sat on a rock and looked at the Third Elder Xu Yuan: "Although we have basically never had direct contact with these star beasts, I have found a lot along the way. ”
He looked at the other fellow disciples.
"Maybe you've already noticed it, right? This world, although it is not smaller than the world we are in, but you have found that there is not a single star of life in this world. ”
"What does this mean?"
"Ten days ago, we just passed by a place that is suspected to be a star of life, but what is the result?"
“......”
Everyone was silent.
The scene from ten days ago still lingers in their minds.
This is also how many times they have encountered this situation over the years.
Whenever they judged that it was a life star, they excitedly inquired, but most of the results were disappointed......
Or, even, frightened?
That's right!
Afraid!
Because, those life stars they discovered, the earth is life stars, or rather, it used to be!
But, for some reason, all these stars are barren!
What a shocking scene was that?
They all remembered it vividly at this time, and the fragmented ruins on it could vaguely be seen that the original stars were indeed life stars, with some traces of life, and they were not star beasts.
But what about now?
The stars were completely deserted, there was no life, and everything, including vegetation and even the stars themselves, had withered......
If this happened in their own world, they wouldn't behave like this, but this kind of thing happening in this side of the world made them feel extremely uneasy.
This happened in their world, most of the time because of some special reason, it was the law of the Heavenly Dao, not man-made, they might sigh, but they were not frightened.
But it's happening in this world.
Moreover, it is not only one life star that is like this, so it is worth their scrutiny.
In fact, after discovering the anomaly over the years, they have begun to pay attention to this aspect intentionally or unintentionally.
Even in their hearts, they thought that it would be best if they could meet a place similar to the Great World, so that their guess could be confirmed.
After all, the vast world is vast and boundless, and it is not comparable to a single star of life.
As long as you explore such a place, the answer will be completely clear.
But unfortunately, they didn't find anything like that.
Everyone was silent.
After a long while, Xu Yuan opened his mouth and sighed: "So, what do you mean?"
The others looked at each other.
"Third Elder, go on, at least, and make sure of this one thing, otherwise, all of us will not be reconciled, even if we return now, we will not be able to sleep. ”
"That's right, Third Elder, anyway, we are already familiar with this place now, and when it comes to danger, the meaning has been reduced a lot, and besides, it's too embarrassing to bring these sculptures back like this, although the required number of tasks has been completed, but that's just a basic standard, right?"
"I agree. It's better to find a side of the continent ......"
A group of people have expressed their positions, and their attitude has been surprisingly consistent, that is, to continue!
Xu Yuan groaned, and after half an hour, he gave the answer: "Then continue!"
In fact, Xu Yuan himself was also very unwilling.
In the case of discovering the more serious threat posed by the Star Beast Clan, if he didn't find out the truth and truth, he wouldn't be able to sleep!
The thought of whether these terrible enemies would become the same situation as they were if they took over the world they were in was a chill down his spine!
So, after some repairs, everyone set off again.
And this time, they have less pressure and responsibility from the task, but they have another kind of pressure, and this pressure makes them a little breathless.
If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, no one would have been able to understand their feelings, the fear.
A family, a sect, and even a world are all built on the basis of the land of life itself.
Even if it is a Dao chakra, it can have an eternal lifespan that can be called an eternal life.
But what would happen if there was no place for life?
They didn't dare to think about it.
A month later, above a star suspected to be the star of life.
"Sure enough......" Xu Yuan looked at everything in front of him with an extremely ugly face.
Everyone's face is very ugly.
Many people let their perceptions out, expecting to discover miracles.
But the results are chilling.
This star is exactly the same as the previous situation.
Barren, utterly barren, in a piece of wind and sand, not to mention the fluctuations of the 'life' of the planet itself, not even a drop of water, a single withered weed, there is not a single plant!
There is no doubt that this is a complete death star, even more barren than an ordinary death star!
Xu Yuan squatted down and picked up a handful of sand from the ground, these sands, small and dry, were the same as the air above the stars, giving people a suffocating heat and indifference.
"Third Elder, what did you find?" everyone looked at Xu Yuan expectantly.
Xu Yuan shook his head slightly, sighing silently: "Alas." ”
It's all in plain sight.
At this moment, everyone's mood can be imagined.
And this point made them even more sure of their guesses.
"Star beasts, they all deserve to die!" a Taiqing Sect disciple roared in a low voice with a hideous face.
"Yes, damn it!" said another, who was equally uncomfortable, "this is a bunch of crazy predators, who will not let go of not only life, but even the land of life!"
"Didn't we already know this?"
Oh, yes!
Didn't they already know about it?
After all, after fighting against the Star Beast Clan for so long, what the Star Beast Clan was like, how could they not know?
It's just that at that time, the Star Beast Clan had not yet succeeded, and many of the things inside had not yet been discovered.
But think about it.
You must know that the number of star beasts is extremely large.
Why don't they occupy those barren areas, but instead attack the Terrans?
Also, you must know that the star beast is divided into countless branches, among them, there are many branches that devour life, devour stars, and even devour various minerals as growth nutrition.
If they pay a little attention to this, it is not difficult to find that the current situation is not unexpected at all.
The Star Beast clan is a complete predator.
And the target of their predation is not only life, but also all the resources that can be used!
The crowd gritted their teeth and clenched their fists.
At this time, they can't wait to kill these chilling enemies now, and they don't want to leave even one.
However, they knew better that they simply did not have the ability.
Because the more they witnessed all this, the more they understood the horror of these star beasts.
You know, before invading the world they are in, these guys don't know how many worlds they have destroyed, and in this case, how powerful is this race?
Not to mention the more, just take the world in front of them, this race that has devoured all the resources of this world is no longer what they can imagine!
At this time, there was a thought in everyone's mind.
That is, they really know too little about the Star Beast Clan!
At the same time, for the other world, their homeland, all of them, very heavy......
They don't think that this invasion has won them.
Because of that level of invasion, at this time, they understood that it was simply an existence similar to an advance team of the Star Beast Clan, and they would not think that this time the Human Race would win, the Star Beast Clan would give up, for this kind of greedy race that was almost infinite, smelling the smell of meat, how could it be easy to give up?
In the past, the Star Beasts were able to open portals to their world, but now they can't?
This is an extremely funny and self-deceptive ridiculous judgment......
