Chapter 877: Tombstone Express
Lukka came back to his senses and found himself still gliding on the ground.
It's a weird ride, like being pushed while walking on the ice, and the silver ground beneath its feet is so smooth that it scares a little.
At this time, it could only barely raise its head and look into the distance.
The ground had risen and fallen before, and the rising waves had pushed it all the way from the entrance to the whirlpool.
Sliding all the way from the other side of the passage, it felt like its chest and knees were a little hot, and it didn't stop.
It's like lard sliding on an iron plate.
It's a slippery silver world.
Luka gripped the ground with both hands, and finally stopped sliding.
When it looked back, it saw that it was far away, so far away that it could only see the long horizon, and it could not find the spatial tunnel perpendicular to the ground.
Fortunately, the direction can still be calibrated.
There were scratches left on the ground, which were very shallow, but still visible.
Lukka struggled to brace himself and walked towards where he had come.
As it walked, it felt like its body was heavier than it had ever been, as if it was carrying an iron block on its back.
As a Taros, he has a great physique and strength, but after walking here, he begins to weaken his bones, his hands and feet do not obey his command, and he must stop to rest.
It's a smooth and heavy world.
The weight of the body alone is overwhelming.
Luca saw during his break that the sky was cloudless and completely white, like some kind of empty curtain.
The sun here does not rise in the east and set in the west like in the Yao world.
They appeared out of nowhere in the air, as if they had gone out and then turned on. So every time Lukka looked up and saw the sun in a different position.
It gives the feeling that there are many suns in this world.
It may be so.
Lukka, in order to confirm this, began to take a closer look. It sees that sometimes there are two suns in the sky, sometimes ten, sometimes six, sometimes dozens, like glowing eyes.
The strangest thing is that every time it raises its head, the sun appears in a different place. It's like if you just stare at it, and the sun before will disappear.
It's a smooth, heavy world with lots of sun.
Lukka embarks on a long journey home.
In the process, it clearly felt that its movements were becoming more and more sluggish. Here your own characteristics and abilities are completely unusable, and you just rely on the strength of your body to support it.
The body became more and more stiff, and silver marks began to appear on the surface of the body. Those little silver dots were like some kind of moldy metal - but would the metal be moldy?
It doesn't know.
Lukka could only pray in his heart.
"Lord Yaoshen, please bless me so that I can join you safely!"
Although the waves on the ground did not reappear, it seemed far away to return to the original ground.
Luca didn't know how long he had been walking, and nothing seemed to have changed in front of him. What's even more terrifying is that the traces on the ground are beginning to fade, and the path and coordinates to go back are gradually disappearing.
It panicked and couldn't help but try to speed up its pace.
But the body did not listen to the call.
It sat on the ground and let its body recover a littleβits body was getting hotter and worse, as if it was being roasted by fire. It's a hot world, and now it can feel it.
The sun above his head appeared and left, as if he was watching himself as an outsider.
In a daze, Luca saw a hole in the ground not far away. The edge of that hole is very smooth and perfectly rounded in a geometric sense.
Lukka had never seen a hole that round in his life.
It immediately occurred to it that there should be something in the hole, which must have been dug by someone.
Now it's exhausted and desperately needs a place to rest. Even if it's a little water, a little oil, it's good to cool down your body.
Lukka climbed to the edge of the cave and knocked on the wall.
"Anyone?"
Bang Bang
The sound travels all the way to the depths of the ground.
The edge of the cave is surrounded by black stucco or rammed earth, and the hole slopes downward, apparently for easy access and exit. There are also stairs or grippers on the walls of the caves.
"Hey, hey, hey?" It shouted with difficulty.
No one answered.
Lukka cautiously walked in, and there was something resembling a metal rope underneath. As soon as it grabbed the thing, the rope pulled it down, making Lukka a little nervous.
The metal rope sinks slowly and evenly into the ground.
The walls around the trail were all covered in that black paint, like some kind of fine soot. The strange thing is that after entering here, the burning sensation in the body suddenly dissipated most of it.
It looks like there's something wrong with the sun outside.
Lukka's thoughts, he has come to the ground.
The underground space is small, with only a black stone monument. The stele is half a man tall and has the same black powder paint on the surface.
The stele is carved with many symbols of stars, and there are many lines connecting those stars. This made Luca can't help but think, could it be that what is engraved on this monument is the number and trajectory of stars in the sky?
In front of the stele is a gray piece of some kind of metal, only the size of a palm.
Lukka hadn't done anything, but a strange shadow appeared on the stele, like a Yao Wonder's [Red Coral Mirage].
Lukka watched carefully.
A strange face appeared on the black tablet, its head was square, and two pillared cylindrical horns grew on its head, and the strange creature had a soft, slender neck that could not be seen.
Its face has three round holes, like eyes and a mouth.
β%οΏ₯οΏ₯β¦β¦*@#β¦β¦β
After a burst of noise and strange sounds came from the stone tablet, it gradually turned into an intelligible sound.
"I'm [Yaoyuan Shou], are you from Yaoyuan? Or is it from somewhere else? β
"Don't worry, I'm not an illegal, I'm not a fugitive, just someone who chases stars because of interest."
"I don't have any epidemic in my body, I don't have anyone to dock with or be docked with, and my profession is a traveler. Do you know about this profession? It is a profession that travels everywhere and enjoys the unknown, and it is by no means a suspicious profession, but it is relatively niche and poor. β
"Won't you introduce yourself? Alas, it doesn't matter, I guess you're not from Yaoyuan. β
Lukka realizes that the head of the cave is dead. This is its grave and epitaph.
It's just that it has some kind of technology and power that leaves both sound and appearance on the tombstone.
"I strayed into this place through a special passage, I thought it was some unexplored space gap, or a lost original world, but I didn't expect to come to this enclosed space. My signals are completely inaccessible in this place, and will be altered and assimilated by the vibrations here. β
"I've drilled a lot of channels, and this time I got it in the wrong place."
"Life is probably like this, you can't drill right every time."
Lukka prepares to listen to the other party's last words.
It's a form of respect.
The head of the yao yuan on the tombstone slowly dimmed: "There is not much energy left." Remember what I said, be careful of the vibrations here, each vibration brings a different interval, the last time it is strong, the next time it is weak. β
"This is the periodic vibration, you can only go out in the weak cycle, and the strong cycle needs to find a place to hide, use the black matter here...... I call it Kurogaki and it's a protective object that I extracted from deep underground. β
"Otherwise, it will be changed and assimilated by the vibrations, becoming more and more in sync with the world, and eventually melting into the constant vibrations of the world, becoming a part of this place, like that silver metal......"
Lukka silently remembered.
Periodic changes.
Was it strong or weak last time?
Will it return to stability or more intense next time?
But Luca didn't have time to observe.
It had to move immediately.
The marks on the ground have faded and faded, and if they vibrate again, they may not leave any traces.
At that time, I will be lost in this world forever, and finally die alone, like this Yaoyuan head in the grave.
Luca no longer stays.
It patted the tombstone: "Rest in peace." β
Then it turned around and walked up.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind him.
"Wait, wait, I'm not dead!"
Lukka jerked his guard and raised his fists.
"Why are you erecting a tombstone here if you're not dead?"
"No, I see that you haven't been talking, and I thought your race couldn't speak." The other party was also straightforward: "Here I just bury my body to reduce consumption." β
As he spoke, its tombstone shook slightly, and the black pink paint on top shook off, revealing a lead-gray exterior below. Eight gray legs stand up under the pedestal, like spiders.
The tombstone moves left and right on the ground, as if to show its flexibility.
It has three holes in its stele, and two horns on its head are also exposed.
Although I would like to ask the other party about the situation again.
But time is running out now.
Lukka clenched his fists: "See you soon." β
With that, it climbs up.
A voice came from behind him: "You can go up with a hook." β
Lukka grabbed the hook and pulled it up at once.
Back on the mirror-smooth ground, it made out the abrasion marks on the ground and hurried in the direction it had come.
Behind him there was another clanging sound of metal.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I'm with you."
Walking on the tombstone, Yaoyuan head walked all the way with eight legs and moved forward flexibly.
"You have a camp nearby, right? Take me there, and we come together to have a better chance of survival. β
ββ¦β¦β
Lukka didn't answer it, it said, "You send you there, you're too hard without a vehicle now, I can speed up." The friction resistance here is very low, and you can move at high speed over long distances as long as you accelerate slightly, you come up, I will take you there. β
It has eight legs in a group of two, and the bottom becomes four wheels.
Luca also hesitated, jumped on and stood in front of the tombstone pedestal, directing the direction.
The speed of the head of the cave was very impressive, it buzzed and raced, and Luka could not stand on his feet in the face of the strong wind.
"I'm not bad, right? Did you come out with a broken vehicle? In this kind of place, it's better not to go too far. β
"When the next vibrational cycle is turned on again, it will be a little safer, and the assimilation will be more serious now, but it seems that you should have a countermeasure on your side, right?"
"Don't you know? We're pretty famous, but probably no one has heard of it here...... I have a lot of things, I can help in your camp, you can help me repair my body, provide me with energy supplies. That should be fine, right? I'll also share everything I know here. β
As he spoke, the Tombstone Express raced all the way, and the swirling spatial passage was already visible on the horizon.
Yaoyuan's voice was a little surprised: "You guys...... Can you open a passage here? It's amazing. β
"I'm saved this time!"
It was happy and cautiously asked, "Well, brother, you'll help me, right?" β
Luca, although tired, also promised: "I will help you." β
The other party finally put his mind at ease.
Yaoyuan began to brake from a long distance, grinding two light black marks on the ground.
Lukka saw that the players next to him had disappeared without a trace.
They're all back?
That's how it should be.
"Let's go."
Lukka smiled a little tiredly: "Come and be a guest on our side, our Yao clan has always been hospitable, don't worry about supplies." β
Then it entered the vortex with the head of Yaoyuan.
