Chapter 254: No More Confusion
The element, although it has no life itself, but also follows the laws of nature, the fire element will not wander in the water, and the wind element will not be buried under the solid ground, which is why Ye Chen did not find those fire elements before, because only under the temptation of the early morning, the fire elements who have experienced the long cold night will come out to absorb energy.
There is still a long way to go to collect 10,000 water and earth elements, not to mention that in today's dangerous world, in just a few days, Ye Chen's crisis premonition has reached its limit.
Pseudo-dragons, wurms, dragons...... In the past few days, Ye Chen's chances of encountering dragon beasts were far greater than before, and there were even countless new varieties that even he had never heard of.
But when it comes to danger, it still belongs to the overturning dragon I encountered yesterday!
As a relatively powerful member of the war dragon level, Ye Chen, who lost his spiritual power and could not summon Zhu Rong, was an existence that was absolutely invincible, at that time Ye Chen even forgot to breathe, hiding in a bush, and the sweat glands in his body stopped secreting, because he knew that even a drop of sweat fell on the ground, it could be heard by the war dragon's pair of ears that were too sharp.
Thankfully, after filling its stomach with dozens of humans trying to escape, the dragon had no interest in doing anything about rummaging the bushes and left in the other direction.
Seeing his own kind being bitten by dragon beasts, it was impossible to say that he was not angry, but Ye Chen was more about deep powerlessness and the urge to regain his lost strength faster.
But because of this time, Ye Chen noticed something.
"My heart...... Didn't beat?"
In order to avoid the sharp perception of the Heaven-Turning Dragon, Ye Chen tried his best to reduce all the functions of his body to the extreme, and his breathing was also difficult to endure, but it was logical......
It's impossible for the heart not to beat!
While a simple heartbeat may attract the attention of a dragon, isn't it too much to stop the heart beating completely?
Next, Ye Chen noticed that something was wrong.
"Empty ......?"
"No...... Not empty, my heart ...... How did it come to this?"
Without the perception of spiritual power, Ye Chen couldn't clearly know what had become in his body, but he knew that a normal person's heart would never sink into it as soon as it was pressed, and at least there were ribs in front of it!
But this part of his body seemed to be gone.
Recalling the pain that almost burst his chest a few days ago, and the power of the gray fragment in his mind that continued to transmit in the direction of his heart, Ye Chen gradually felt that there was definitely some kind of connection in it.
"Before I lost consciousness, the most impressive thing was that the Mad King's bone sword pierced my chest, and then the energy burst out, and my consciousness gradually blurred......"
"Burst ......"
"In other words, at that time, my heart no longer exists?"
"Then why will I come back to life again?"
Gray book fragments...... Disappearing Heart...... The power of the restlessness in the chest......
Even if Ye Chen, who had already noticed a little abnormality, he still couldn't find any further clues anyway, so he could only give up for the time being.
The path of collecting elements has only just begun, even if cumin is alone and loses his heart and strength, at least, alive, there is still hope, and there is still ...... Future.
Over a few mountains......
A few more rivers were crossed......
On the vast grassland, turn over the fertile soil and grab a handful of chubby, earthy and yellow earth elements......
Dive into the lake and the Yangtze River, chase with the waves and waves, and when you rush out of the water to breathe, you can catch a few water elements that are delicate and delicate......
encountered pseudo-dragons and wurms preying on humans, although he did not have the company of Zhurong and them, he also learned how to fight with his own hands, save his "kind", and also drill wood to make fire, set up a fire, and have a full meal......
If you see a dragon beast or even a higher-level dragon beast from a distance, if you can't turn around and run away immediately, then smash a pit on the spot and pile it on top with the earth element, as long as it's not too lucky, the dragon beast won't be interested in things like the earth element, because they are too hard......
As the journey of collecting elements became longer and longer, Ye Chen gradually discovered some things, such as ...... In fact, there are not many human beings in this world, but compared with the population density of the world he knows, it is dozens of times, or even more.
All human beings are surrounded by vast stone enclosures, and in each enclosure, there are forests, lakes, and rivers, at least the human beings living in them will not die because of lack of food and water.
But the more he understood, the more shocking Ye Chen felt, what is the difference between this kind of life and those domestic animals on the earth that are kept in captivity waiting to be slaughtered!
There is no doubt that there is also an existence in the dragon clan that can be compared to the human beings in the past, at least this vast stone enclosure is a huge project.
For Ye Chen, this incident had also caused him great trouble, because when all the elements in a stone enclosure had been searched by him, it became imperative to continue searching elsewhere - unless he planned to wait here for dozens or hundreds of years, until another batch of elements that no one wanted and no one picked up gathered like before.
However, the dragons have arranged dozens of dragons and war dragons to sit on the edge of each stone paddock, in order to prevent the humans inside from having a chance to escape.
There are earth dragon species on the ground, sky dragon species, sea dragon species in lakes and rivers, and even some terrible ancient dragon species may be sleeping underground.
But things are man-made, even so, they can't stop him Ye Chen's way forward!
Although most of the humans in captivity feed on plants, through Ye Chen's observation, they also eat "meat" such as rats and insects.
He first killed a dragon beast as huge as a mountain of meat, then set it between two large trees, grilled it, and halfway through it, he withdrew and lurked, leaving only the fragrant dragon beast that was bubbling with grease and roasted.
Slowly, some people will follow the smell to find them, and when those humans find such a huge "barbecue", they will definitely be afraid, but after they find that there is no living creature around, how can they live in the face of such temptation.
But with just a few people, it is impossible to wipe out the roasting meat of the Roshan dragon beasts, so more and more humans are attracted to it, and when the gathered humans reach a certain level, the commotion caused will naturally attract those dragon beasts guarding the periphery.
With this brief opportunity, Ye Chen was able to sneak out.
Thankfully, the drakes guarding the enclosure don't seem to be allowed to eat too many humans under normal circumstances, perhaps because the other drakes won't have anything to eat.
Even so, Ye Chen's heart was still surrounded by guilt, after all, the price of escaping alone was the sacrifice of more people......
I don't know how many paddocks I have crossed, and this guilt has accumulated in the depths of Ye Chen's soul, and it is getting more and more ...... The deeper the ......
"Did I do something wrong?" Ye Chen asked himself.
"But if I don't, I won't be able to regain my strength, and I'll die!"
"But everyone else should die for you?"
"No...... Even if I don't, sooner or later they will be eaten and they will die. ”
"But at least they can live longer, and you, let them say goodbye to this world early!"
"I ......"
"That's right, they died because of you, you killed those people!"
"I killed them......"
"Do you feel the sin you have committed? Your hands are already stained with blood, not only the blood of the dragon beast, but also the blood of your kind!"
"What should I do...... What the hell am I supposed to do?"
Ye Chen's eyes were confused.
"The sins you have committed, bear them yourself, so many people have died because of you, you should use your life to atone for your sins!"
"Atonement...... ...... with my life"
"That's right, end your life of sin, if you die, no more people will die because of you, and if you die, the souls of those who have been killed by you will be laid to rest, and if you die, you will be freed from the shackles of sin!"
"But what if I refuse?"
Ye Chen's gaze became firm again at this moment.
"What?"
The heart demon didn't expect Ye Chen to answer like this, and was obviously a little stunned.
"Those who died because of me,"
"They should be happy. ”
"Crazy, you must be crazy!" the demon was a little frightened.
"Isn't it?"
"In this era, no one can control their own destiny, and the only thing they can do is to be kept in captivity like domestic animals, waiting to be slaughtered by those filthy lizards. ”
"Are they human? I don't admit it. ”
"The so-called human beings are a noble race with their own language, a combination of curiosity, creativity, the courage to take risks, and a spirit of exploration! We have our own civilization, we can create our own country, and unite to fight against species far more powerful than ourselves!"
"But that's in the past!" roared the demon, "there's no going back!"
"Then I'll create it!"
Ye Chen's eyes seemed to be burning with flames.
"Use my hands, use my strength, to change the world!"
"Impossible...... That's impossible......" The heart demon's tone weakened, and he felt Ye Chen, who seemed to turn into a round of scorching sun, and it became weaker and weaker.
"Nothing is impossible. ”
Ye Chen's tone was extremely decisive
"There were people who thought that it was impossible for people to fly in the sky. ”
"Until someone invented the airplane. ”
"Human beings, but they are the best at creating miracles!"
The demon didn't ask what an airplane was, because it was gone, and there was no room for him to exist in the face of a will that was stronger than a diamond.
Getting up, patting the dust off his body, the journey of collecting the elements continued, at least from now on, Ye Chen felt that he would not stop for anything again.
