Chapter 32: Giving Up
I only felt a flower in front of me, and before I could close my eyes, there was a slight change in my vision.
The reason why this change is very small is mainly that after teleporting, the scene has not changed much, especially Qing'er and Xue Jiao in the distance still maintain their original posture and look forward, the position of the stars around them has not moved at all, and the terrain is still the same, which makes Wang Lung feel very puzzled, if there is no change at all, it is not right, to there are two points that Wang Lung pays special attention to.
One is the position he is in now, Wang Lung clearly remembers that when he teleported, it was through the prohibition under Lu Ke's feet, but after the teleportation, his position moved back a distance, which was consistent with the spatial position where he first teleported to Lu Ke;
Looking at the strange and familiar environment, Wang Lung had a suspicion in his mind, looked around a few times, and did not find any enemies, where is the keeper here, he has not seen it for a while, and carefully looked at the stone closest to him, Wang Lung intuition This level may have a lot to do with these scattered stones, is it a maze?
In the midst of doubt, Wang Lung walked forward cautiously, Qing'er and Xue Jiao's figures were still in the distance, Wang Lung resisted the urge not to look at them, and tried his best to leave his heartfelt feelings behind, in fact, he also understood that without Guò experience, looking at Qing'er and Xue Jiao was like looking at Mei to quench her thirst, useless, and it would disturb his mind.
Wang Lung walked very slowly. Step by step, he moved to the front of the stone and stopped in front of the nearest football-sized stone. He didn't immediately crouch down to take a closer look, but turned his head to look around. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he leaned over and touched the stone under his feet, but before he could reach the stone, his fingers had not yet touched the stone, and there was a rumbling sound in his ears, and the stone under his feet seemed to come to life, rolling and running into the distance.
Not only the stone under Wang Lung's feet, but all the stones that could be seen as far as the eye could see, those countless stones frantically converged towards the center, as if something was pulling them.
Wang Lung froze in place and stared at it in a daze. His eyes glanced at both sides from time to time, and the stones in the distance were piled up one by one after arriving at the center, and it was not clear what they were going to pile up at first, but after only a few breaths, Wang Lung felt a hint of familiarity.
They were two legs, and although the joints at the ankles and knees were almost absent, they were certainly two legs judging by the shape of the stones. And as time passed, Wang Lung confirmed his guess even more, those stones were indeed piling up a stone man similar to the human race on their own, but Wang Lung didn't understand it for a while. What is the purpose of this combination of stone people?
When the last stone fell on top of the stone man's head, a stone-skinned giant appeared in front of Wang Lung, composed entirely of stones. He is nearly ten feet tall, and his limbs and head are all complete. Only the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth seemed empty, and the stone giant had made his own journey. It has remained in place without moving, and there is no trace of life in its empty eyes.
Wang Lung looked at the stone giant that appeared in front of him in surprise, and really couldn't think of the significance of those stones forming this giant, the two stood opposite each other, and no one moved in the past ten minutes.
Wang Lung couldn't hold his breath at first, mainly because he didn't understand what happened in front of him, what the stone giant represented, and shook his body slightly to see how the stone giant reacted, but Wang Lung soon found that the stone man didn't feel any movement from him, and kept his body standstill.
With a slight condensation on his brows, Wang Lung finally made up his mind to take a step forward, staring at each other with his eyes dead as the step fell.
Hey, there was still no reaction, another step, no reaction, another step, or the same, Wang Lung took more than a dozen steps in a row, and the stone giant still didn't react at all, Wang Lung couldn't help pinching his chin and speculating.
After a long time, Wang Lung shook his head, he really couldn't guess what was going on with the stone giant in front of him, the only thing that could be confirmed was that this giant was the key to passing this level, but he didn't know too well how to pass the level.
Why did a stone giant with no life react before it touched the scattered stones, it was definitely not as it seemed on the surface, there must be something greasy in it, so it was better to be cautious and not act rashly.
looked around again, still the same, in addition to Qing'er and Xue Jiao's figures, there was only this lifeless stone giant nearby, Wang Lung pursed his lips, and raised his steps again, after taking this step, there was a sudden clicking sound in his ears, this sound came abruptly, so that Wang Lung couldn't help but stop the next step he wanted to take.
Glancing around, he didn't see any abnormal movement, and there was no accurate source of the clicking sound just now, staring at the stone giant in front of him, he still didn't react as before, did he have auditory hallucinations?
Wang Lung shook his head helplessly, and took another step, but he didn't hear any sound after this step fell, Wang Lung took a few more steps, and it was still the same as before, and the surroundings were lifeless, except for the sound of Wang Lung landing, there was no change in the slightest, and the clicking sound just now was also thrown away by Wang Lung.
Time passed little by little, when Wang Lung walked to a distance of only about fifty meters from the stone giant, the lifeless giant finally reacted, two red rays of light appeared in the stone giant's eye sockets, its empty nostrils erupted cold dust, the red light of the giant's eyes suddenly lit up, the head of the grinding disc shook a few times, and a dull sound came from the stone giant's mouth, which shocked Wang Long's heart.
Wang Lung looked at the stone giant in front of him in astonishment, the originally lifeless giant seemed to be injected with vitality in an instant, and the body formed by the accumulation of stones all over the body was suddenly closely connected at the moment when it came to life, if you didn't look closely, you couldn't see the slightest gap, and the skin of the stone gradually turned from grayish white to dark yellow, and there were red threads as light as filaments all over the body. It was as if blood was flowing through it, and the rough and active skin was terrifying.
The name of a group suddenly appeared in Wang Lung's mind. Looking at the agile stone giant in front of him, Wang Lung finally knew who the other party was. It is a special life structure, a rock-like life form, the body can be broken into countless stones scattered on the ground, this is the best camouflage, when the prey enters the stone group, it is also the best time for the rock blaster to hunt.
In the vast universe, there are all kinds of life, humans, monsters, gods, plants, ores, and the blasting rock clan is just one of them, and the biggest feature of this clan is that it is composed of various ores. Before it had a life form, it was a huge rock, which was restricted by various conditions before it evolved into a life form, and the countless red threads in its body were coagulated by absorbing the blood of other lifeforms.
Rock-based life is rarer than plant-based life, and once they possess spirit and intelligence, they hate all other forms of life, but they look at plant life differently. Perhaps in the view of rocky life, plant life is as rare as them or has the same root and origin nature, but except for plant life, other life needs to be caught by it. There is only one end, death.
The appearance of the Rock Blasting Clan gave Wang Lung a bad premonition, although he didn't know where this premonition came from. But he knew that he had come to a dangerous area, only fifty meters away from the Rock Blasters. It is within the best range of the opponent's hunting, if you meet the opponent in other places. Wang Lung could also escape from this place first, but unfortunately, now that he is in the stage of refinement, he can only fight hard.
"Human, you just broke my body apart?" the voice of the Rock Blaster appeared in Wang Lung's ears like thunder.
Hearing what the other party said, Wang Lung couldn't help but be stunned, how did he say this, he had just come here, and he was only meeting the other party for the first time, and he didn't make a move at all, how could he break up the other party's body?
Just when Wang Lung was surprised, the voice sounded again: "Hmph, don't quibble, it must be you, you actually attacked me and made me angry, since you dare to appear in front of me, then go and die!"
Without giving Wang Lung the slightest chance to explain, the Rock Blaster let out a loud shout, raised his right leg angrily and stepped on Wang Lung.
Wang Lung only felt that a mountain peak was flying above his head, and the big feet of the rock blasting giant fell, Wang Lung's heart tightened, and he quickly dodged to the side, and when his body just settled, there was a roar in his ears, which was the sound of the big feet of the rock blasting giant falling to the ground.
A cold snort came into Wang Lung's ears, and before Wang Lung could react, a huge black cloud suddenly appeared in his location, and he didn't know which part of the body of the rock blasting giant was, Wang Lung just raised his eyes and swept it, and he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.
Mixed with the sound of the wind howling, the left hand of the rock blasting giant scribbled towards Wang Lung's location like a sea fishing for the moon, and Wang Lung didn't have time to react, so he had to raise his sword to resist this palm.
When a crisp sound sounded, Wang Lung only felt the tiger's mouth tingle, and the battle knife stabbed on the palm of the rock blasting giant only splashed a little spark, and there was no feeling of penetration at all, and the force of the shock instantly pushed Wang Lung, and his body involuntarily retreated.
Wang Lung's eardrums seemed to have been hit by a sledgehammer, and before he could regain his taste, he felt that his whole body was slapped to the ground by a mountain, and a mouthful of blood spurted out instantly, and then Wang Lung felt difficult to breathe, and his body could not move at all.
The uncomfortable feeling only lasted for a moment before disappearing, Wang Lung regained his freedom, his breathing and vision were no longer hindered in the slightest, and just when the stuffy breath in his heart had not yet been spit out, he only felt that his body was suddenly pinched by a huge pincer, and his whole body was squeezed very uncomfortably.
Wang Lung squinted and found that he was caught by the two fingers of the Rock Blaster Giant, and was being sent to the Rock Blaster by the other party.
Seeing the red light in the other party's eyes getting closer and closer, Wang Lung wanted to break free of the fingers of the rock blasting giant, but found that no matter how he struggled, it was useless at all, and most of his body was caught by the other party.
"Hey, your flesh and skin are strong, but your cultivation is too weak, how can you scatter my body with your current strength?"
Wang Lung struggled with his body, and when he saw that it was useless, he said, "How do I know, you let go of me." ”
"Let go of you? Hmph, why should I let you go, since you have come here, no matter if you have experienced or have another purpose, if you meet me, there will only be one end. Speaking of this, the Rock Blasting Giant pressed his fingers slightly, wanting to pinch and explode Wang Lung's body.
When the rock life destroys other life, it will blow up the opponent's body, take and apply blood to the body so that it can absorb itself, this Wang Lung knows, after the disagreement with the rock blasting giant, Wang Lung knows that he must flee quickly.
Perhaps his life was threatened, Wang Lung burst out with great strength in an instant, and the war knife in his hand slashed at the fingers of the rock blasting giant, and a crisp sound accompanied by the roar of the rock blasting giant came into Wang Lung's ears, and at the moment when he felt his body falling freely, Wang Lung simply ignored the other party's anger, and quickly jumped away the moment he landed.
This is a madman, for the rock blasting giant, Wang Lung only has this one idea, and a madman has no reason to talk about, since the other party is the one who guards the pass, then only by defeating the other party can you get through.
Feeling the pain on his body, Wang Lung gritted his teeth and wanted to swing his knife to attack, but his movements suddenly stopped with the changes around him, and a hundred meters away from the center of the rock blasting giant, a white circle of light suddenly appeared, and the circle of light appeared very abruptly, I don't know what it meant.
"Damn!" "Rock Blaster cursed: "Human, you have also seen it, that aperture is the forbidden area for you and me, within the aperture, I can kill you without any scruples, outside the aperture, I will be restricted, I will not use any attack on you, I am the gatekeeper, if you want to pass my level, there is only one condition, either you die or I die." ”
Wang Lung finally understood what the aperture represented, fortunately there was this aperture stored in Zài, otherwise he really didn't know how to survive the confrontation with this rock blasting giant, just when he was rejoicing, the rock explosion giant's attack had already fallen above his head.
Time passed little by little, the battle between Wang Lung and the Rock Blasting Giant was carried out in a strange form, it was an absolute ravage, no matter what means Wang Lung used, under the attack of the Rock Blasting Giant, Wang Lung would definitely not last three seconds, and he would be caught by the other party, if it weren't for his body, I am afraid that he would have died a long time ago.
Ravaged, ravaged without resistance, every time Wang Lung felt that he was about to die, he would use the technique of shrinking the ground into inches to escape beyond the circle of light, lying on the ground and waiting for the injury to recover on its own.
The cracked flesh and the wounds of the broken internal organs made Wang Lung suffer in pain every moment, and this situation lasted for a month, Wang Lung did not know how many times he went in and out of the aperture, and there was only one result, that is, he was ravaged.
Every time he recovers his injuries outside the aperture, Wang Lung will rack his brains to think about how to kill the rock blasting giant, but his means are too few, and his strength is too low.
Looking at Qing'er and Xue Jiao in the distance, Wang Lung helplessly left tears of remorse, nearly three months of ravaging have made Wang Lung lose all confidence, and if he continues, he will fall on the way, he doesn't want to die, and he doesn't want to give up, but there is no other choice, at least he can still live if he gives up, although this is the last level of the experience, but Wang Lung can only accept this humiliating choice and give up!
I don't know if I know my fate, Wang Lung sighed, his heart was much more relaxed, and he turned around and walked towards the teleportation array under his feet, which was the teleportation array when he came, and stepping into it meant giving up, and it meant that this experience ended in failure!
PS: At the end of this volume, the next volume will be the last volume of this book, which will reveal the secrets that the whole Wang Lung wants to know. (To be continued......)
