Alva looked at the jerky and felt an inexplicable longing in his heart.

She subconsciously rushed to live: "Can you eat the jerky in your hand?" ”

Chengsheng was stunned by this sentence, and then quickly reacted:

The animals and plants on this planet seem to be affected by the dark spores, so there is little edible food left.

So it's normal for Alva not to know jerky.

Chengsheng threw the jerky at Alva and said, "Taste it and see if it suits your appetite." ”

On Planet 021, where Avar is located, humanity is constantly facing the threat of dark spores and 'those creatures'.

The huge external pressure makes people have no energy to fight between each other at all.

Therefore, Avar, who grew up in this environment since he was a child, is completely defenseless against the survival and others who are also humans.

She didn't think much of it, and immediately stuffed the jerky into her mouth.

The jerky in the hands of the living hand is a special delicacy of the mother of pain, which is marinated by half-marinated and half-smoked methods, rather than simply air-dried meat, so it still retains part of the juice when it was made, and the taste is excellent.

In addition, Alva has almost never touched meat, and at this moment, chewing the jerky donated by Chengsheng, an incredible expression immediately appeared on his face: "What is this thing made of?" Where are you, from far away? ”

Chengsheng didn't respond, just spread his hands.

With his movements, several pieces of jerky inexplicably appeared in his hands again.

Cheng Huo Chong Alva repeated: "Take us to Ling's settlement, and these jerky will be given to you, and then, I have other food on me, and I can consider sending you when I go to the settlement." ”

There aren't many jerky for survival.

Alva finished the jerky in a few bites, and then without thinking, said, "Okay, I'll take you there." ”

Following Alva, the group soon came to the entrance of an underground cavern.

It can be seen that the underground cavern is surrounded by a bare area, and there are obvious traces of the fire.

Seeing this, the Mother of Pain in the team analyzed: "It is easy to understand that the trees and plants around the entrance of the cave are burned with fire - after all, dark spores can infect all animals and plants, so if you don't burn the plants near the entrance of the cave, it is very likely that you will be parasitized by dark spores, and 'those creatures' will be born." ”

"But there's one thing I don't understand," the Mother of Pain wondered, "Anyway, why do you want to live underground?" Isn't the darkness and dampness underground, and the lack of sunlight underground, more susceptible to invasion by 'those creatures'? ”

"Living underground, of course, is to grow 'crystal mushrooms'."

Seeing that the Mother of Pain and Chengsheng and the others all had confused expressions, obviously ignorant of the 'Crystal Mushroom', Alva said strangely: "What? Haven't you even heard of 'Crystal Mushrooms'? Don't you all grow 'crystal mushrooms' where you live? ”

Hearing Alva's words, the Mother of Pain and Chengsheng and the others all looked at each other and fell silent.

- The people who survived were not natives of Planet 021, and it was normal for them not to have heard of the 'Crystal Mushrooms' on Planet 021.

But in a few words, it was difficult to explain it to Alva.

Several people were silent, but the Buddha in the team rushed into the three and explained: "The 'crystal mushroom' in this little girl's mouth is actually a special fungus produced on the Black Worm Star. ”

"No, it can't be said to be from the Black Bug Star." The Buddha thought for a moment and added, "As far as I know, the 'Crystal Mushroom' was brought to the Black Worm Star by a powerful monk surnamed Su from his hometown 'Birthday Star' from the 'headquarters' of the Black Worm Star. ”

The Buddha introduced the characteristics of the 'crystal mushroom' to Cheng Huo and others: "The special mushrooms in the 'headquarters' are very magical: just plant the mushroom in the ground and avoid being exposed to the sun, and it will grow like crazy." ”

"And this mushroom does not need to be tended, nor does it need to be fertilized or watered, and the only thing to be aware of is that it must not see even a ray of sunlight until it is fully ripe, otherwise it will burrow into the ground and disappear."

"Drink!" After hearing this, the Mother of Pain sighed: "I thought that only my Xuanwu Star could solve the problem of famine and make people not starve The 'Tai Sui Meat' is amazing enough, but I didn't expect that there is similar food on the Black Worm Star. ”

She said with a hint of uncertainty: "So, the 'crystal mushroom' on planet 021 is most likely brought over from the Black Worm Star by the people from the 'headquarters'?" ”

"Probably"

The Buddha nodded in response, "The people of the 'headquarters' often come to the aid of various planets that have suffered catastrophes and humanity on them is on the verge of extinction. ”

"For example, materials, cultivation exercises, and various emergency evacuation equipment are often sent out without hesitation."

"This includes the 'Crystal Mushroom', which is dedicated to solving famine on the planets."

The Buddha finally emphasized, "I have eaten this mushroom very hard, but it really fills my stomach!" ”

Since it is the handiwork of the headquarters, Chengsheng and others will no longer ask.

The group followed Alva into the underground cavern.

Since the 'creatures' on planet 021 are not disembodied and are not blocked by doors or walls when they move, there is no gate at the entrance to the underground cavern, and only two guards are left to guard it.

After the group entered the underground cave, as far as the eye could see, the cave was almost densely planted with strange mushrooms that emitted a shimmering light.

Come to think of it, this is what the Buddha just said about the 'crystal mushroom'.

In addition to the mushroom cultivation area, there is also a huge statue of a monk in the very center of this underground cavern.

Seeing the survivors of countless settlements, worshipping the statue, Cheng Sheng said curiously: "In your settlement, there are actually cultivators?" ”

"What is a cultivator?" Alva looked puzzled.

Cheng Huo thought for a while and said, "That's it. Forget it, I can't explain it to you for a while, so you can tell who asked you to build this statue. ”

"It's the village chief."

Alva pointed to the one-year-old man directly below the statue and said, "And the crystal mushroom I just told you about, which was also discovered by the village chief first. ”

The village chief.

The four of them looked in the direction Alva was pointing.

Meanwhile.

Directly below the giant statue, he may have felt the gaze of the Chengsheng group, and the old man also looked at the Chengsheng group.

At the moment of eye contact with the group of survivors, the old man seemed to feel something.

He was shocked, and immediately walked quickly to Chengsheng and the others, and said tentatively: "I don't know. What do the four Taoist friends call them? ”

"What a monk!"

Seeing the old man say the word 'Taoist friend', even if he survived, he showed a look of understanding.

He introduced himself: "In the Lower Xuanwu Star Transformation Divine Period, the monk survived, and I have seen Daoist friends!" ”

Subsequently, the Buddha, the Thunder, and the Mother of Pain also followed closely to greet the old man.

Maybe it's because I saw the four people who were also monks, and because I saw the same kind.

There was a clear hint of excitement in the old man's tone.

He bowed his hand and saluted back: "Below, Diao Zhiming, a monk of the Longxing Transformation Divine Period, has seen four Taoist friends. ”

- Since Planet 021 has been completely contaminated by unspeakable creatures, not only can the monk not use the 'power of emotions' during his stay, but even the divine consciousness in his body cannot be developed in the slightest.

Therefore, the group only saw that the old man was suspected of being a monk, but did not know his specific cultivation.

In the same way, the old man could not see the depth of the four people.

Therefore, when the two sides meet, they will each report their own cultivation.

As for whether what both sides said is true or not, this has to be judged by their own abilities.

After a few brief greetings, the Buddha was curious: "Dare to ask Diao Daoyou, how did you run away to this planet and become the village chief of this survivor settlement?" ”

"It's a long story."

Diao Daoyou smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "About twenty years ago, I took over a mission from the 'headquarters' of the Black Worm Star, and then the general content of the mission was to come to this T5A-0213 planet and collect 'dark spores' from the planet. ”

It is no coincidence that Diao Zhiming, a monk in the Transformation Period, is also a member of the 'Headquarters', and took over the mission of the 'Headquarters' to come to Planet 021.

The Milky Way is not small, but it is not too big.

It may be difficult for the primordial infancy monks on different planets to meet each other in their lifetimes, after all, the primordial infancy and below cultivators do not have the means to cross the galaxy.

But the monks of the incarnation period have divine sense.

With his divine sense, the Avatar Monk's understanding of the 'power of emotions' and the Left Path of the Side Gate was much higher than that of the Yuan Infant Monk.

Therefore, the cultivators of the Transformation Stage often only need to work hard, no more than ten years at most, to easily arrange the 'Six Paths of Reincarnation Teleportation Array', and use this to cross the star field to find an opportunity to break through to a higher realm.

Therefore, looking at the entire galaxy, there is a certain chance that the monks of the Transformation Stage on different planets can meet together.

And because the galaxies in the A ring to the U ring of the Milky Way have been affected by unspeakable creatures, and have fallen one after another.

So today, in the entire galaxy, the area that can be inhabited by humans is actually less than about one-fifth of the original.

In this way, the monks of the Transformation Stage who were forced to the edge of the galaxy were more likely to meet together.

The monks of the different incarnation stages exchanged information with each other, and soon became aware of the existence of the 'headquarters'.

Therefore, for thousands of years, more and more Avatar Stage monks, and even Merge Stage monks, have gone to the Black Worm Star.

They either join the 'HQ' directly, get the status of the staff, and do things for them.

Or as a mercenary, as a free man, he takes a task from the 'headquarters' in exchange for cultivation resources.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Diao Zhiming is also a person from the 'headquarters' during the transformation period.

Underground caverns directly below the giant statues.

Diao Zhiming, a monk in the Transformation Period, continued to rush to Chenghuo and waited: "After all, when I came to Planet 021, it was more than ten years ago. At that time, the pollution on the planet was not as serious as it is now, so even if I came to this planet alone and didn't find help, I still managed to collect enough 'dark spores' without any help. ”

The Buddha continued Diao Zhiming's words: "Then when you were about to teleport back to the Black Worm Star, you suddenly found that you couldn't go back. ”

"Because there is a purple-black weird mushroom on this planet, they will grow like crazy and fill the entrance of the teleportation array until the entire entrance is completely blocked."

"Not bad." Diao Zhiming, a cultivator in the Transformation Period, nodded and said, "Come to think of it, after the four Daoists came to Planet 021, they have already tried to summon the teleportation array, and they have failed just like me. ”

"Hmm." The Buddha replied and waited for the other party to follow.

Diao Zhiming continued: "Then I should be regarded as the kind of person who is more rational, or has more determined willpower." ”

"After knowing that I couldn't go back, I used a little trick to take out the 'crystal mushroom' to the people in this settlement, and then naturally became their village head."

"Those crystal mushrooms, sure enough, you brought them." The Buddha's face was abrupt.

He looked at the huge statue of the monk beside him and said, "What about this statue?" What do you mean by having the villagers build this statue? ”

"Could it be that you are a monk who specializes in absorbing the 'power of faith' and uses faith and emotions as the main cultivation system?"

"Thinking too much."

Diao Zhiming shook his head and said: "It is extremely rare for a monk to specialize in the 'power of faith', and there is no one in ten thousand who can break through to the stage of transformation as far as I know, on the entire Black Worm Star, there is only one named Little Black Black Beetle, and the adult surnamed Su, who uses the 'Power of Faith' as the main cultivation system. ”

The Buddha didn't understand: "That Taoist friend built this statue for"

Diao Zhiming said: "The 021 planet where we are located has completely fallen due to the pollution of unspeakable creatures, and the unspeakable creatures on it are extremely active. ”

"Therefore, no matter what the monks and others do, even if they only carefully absorb the slightest bit of emotional power, they will immediately attract the indescribable attention of the natives."

"So monks can't practice on this planet at all."

"But I can't practice, I can't sit and dare nothing, I can't sit and wait for death, can I?"

Diao Zhiming said: "So I couldn't practice, so I simply resorted to some means, and promised some benefits to the natives in the settlement, so that they could build this giant monk statue for me according to my own body." ”

"In this way, I can use this monk statue to continuously collect the 'emotional power' generated by the natives in the settlement."

Diao Zhiming explained: "The monk statue is not a human being, it is just a dead thing, so no matter how much 'emotional power' it absorbs, no matter how loud the movement is, it will not attract the attention of the unspeakable creature. ”

"After a long time and accumulation, one day in the future, when there are enough 'emotional powers' in the statue, and even a trace of true spirit is born, I can use this statue to break through to the merger period in one fell swoop."

"Although I haven't cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Transformation Stage yet, and it's not yet time to break through, I'm now trapped on Planet 021, and I can't make an inch of progress in my cultivation, so I can't take care of that much."

"I plan to wait for the statue to give birth to a true spirit, and then I will try to forcibly break through with the existing mid-stage cultivation of the gods."

"If you fail, it's a big deal or you die."

"And if it can be successful. At that time, if I have the Merge Period cultivation, I may be able to find a way to leave this planet. ”

Cultivating the true spirit through the statue and breaking through the bottleneck by fusing the true spirit in the statue is the most common breakthrough method for monks who take the road of 'turning gods into gods'.

So Cheng Huo and the others didn't feel strange when they heard it.

After listening to Diao Zhiming's method of breaking the game, the Buddha followed: "If Taoist friends can really break through to the merger period, I really know the method of breaking the game." ”

Seeing Diao Zhiming looking at him and listening to him, the Buddha continued: "Isn't the 'Six Reincarnation Teleportation Array' that can be arranged by a monk in the Transformation Stage be able to travel through different galaxies. ”

"Then I heard from the seniors of the 'Headquarters' that the Merger Stage Monk can summon the Void Passage and travel between different planets in the same galaxy."

"Of course, the Void Passage is what we call among the monks, and those researchers from the planet of technological civilization are more accustomed to calling the Void Passage 'wormhole'."

"Let's get down to business"

The Buddha continued: "I have had the privilege of seeing the Void Passage summoned by my predecessors during the Merge Period, and the difference between it and the 'Six Paths of Reincarnation Teleportation Array' is that the Void Passage is created by the monk by simulating the rotation and gravitational pull of the stars through two different streams of energy. ”

"In short: the Void Passage does not have an entity, it is not a teleportation array, but only a channel composed of energy, so the purple-black mushrooms on Planet 021 cannot grow on the Void Channel."

Speaking of this, the Buddha took the opportunity to say the 'method of breaking the game' that he had in mind: "So it is not surprising that the monks of the Merge Period should be unrestricted from summoning the Void Passage on this planet. ”

"We can first ask the Merge Stage Monk to summon the Void Channel, first transfer to other planets in the galaxy, and then summon the 'Six Reincarnation Teleportation Array' on other planets, and then return to the Black Worm Star!"
