The desert, that is a very scary existence.
Ye Wushuang knew that if a person walks in the desert without water or food, it only takes three days and life will pass without a trace. In the desert, the temperature is usually high during the day, but the temperature at night is low. People like Ye Wushuang who don't carry anything alone can definitely not last a long time in the desert.
After crossing the river, Ye Wushuang found that the giant pythons entered the water one after another. The little golden snake, which had never been seen before, coiled around the head of a giant python and swam in its direction with the group of snakes. Ye Wushuang didn't have much choice now, he didn't even know what direction he was in. After boarding the shore, although the front was just an endless desert, he could only keep going forward.
What made him even more strange was that Ye Wushuang thought that he should be able to use the mecha after crossing the sea of taboos, but when he summoned Hengguang for a while, he found that the mecha did not respond to his call at all.
The python still followed him inseparably. It might be a bit wrong to say that you can't leave it, but those pythons are indeed always the same, like a ghost in the boots, following Ye Wushuang's body at such a distance. If he walked elsewhere, a few pythons would immediately move forward quickly, pushing him to the original trajectory, and then slowly following him as before.
After such a situation happened several times, Ye Wushuang gradually understood that he would definitely encounter something very strange later on.
But after three days of doing this, the situation was the same as before, and nothing special happened. Ye Wushuang was extremely dry, hungry, and even before his eyes, there were all kinds of hallucinations that would only appear under extremely unbearable circumstances.
This desert is not a place where people live at all. No matter who it is, without food or water, I am afraid that they will gradually starve to death, and then be buried by the wind and sand, without any traces of bones.
Ye Wushuang even wondered if those pythons were playing a cat and mouse game, driving themselves into the desert, and then letting themselves struggle in despair, but couldn't resist dying. As a result, it seems that every creature that likes cruelty and killing is a very favorite game.
Will this be the case
Ye Wushuang didn't know, he could only go on like this, hoping that the reality would not develop like this. He was also betting that the pythons worked so hard, definitely not just to torture themselves.
The wind has blown away most of the water in Ye Wushuang's body. He was like an originally fresh and shiny fish, from the initial roundness and plumpness, to the irresistible shriveling and wilting after being exposed to the sun. Gradually, he was no longer able to expand his speed with just one pair of legs as he did at the beginning, and even using his limbs together, his current speed was far less than one-tenth of the previous one.
"I, I'm going to die." Ye Wushuang raised his head and looked at the suspended star, his eyes hurt because of the blazing light. After thinking that he had finally made a mistake in his judgment, he could only turn over with difficulty and lay on his back in the desert, breathing faintly. In the loss of water molecules, the strength of the body has long been pumped and there is not much left, but after a rest, he saw that the giant pythons were still following him in the distance, but they had to turn over and continue to crawl slowly towards him. Crawl before.
"Swish!" Not long after continuing to move forward, Ye Wushuang suddenly felt where his body was, and suddenly there was a feeling of collapse. Although he still had an extremely sensitive consciousness at this time, his physical condition did not rush him to make any movements. It was almost just a flash of thought, and along with the piles of yellow sand in the cave, he kept sinking downward.
It was almost impossible to reach the depth of the bottom. With the fall of the yellow sand, Ye Wushuang found that he had quickly entered a pipe. The abnormally slippery inside of the pipe made him unable to stop his figure. This feeling made him feel unusually uncomfortable. The situation of sliding downwards was like going straight to the eighteenth floor of hell. It made him feel both terrified and really helpless.
"Boom!" After a period of dullness, Ye Wushuang suddenly found himself on a soft cushion. After this muffled sound, the yellow sand that followed him also rustled down, making him unable to open his eyes for a while to see where he was now.
When the yellow sand fell near, Ye Wushuang was afraid that the pythons would follow him. After looking up at the pipe for a long time, he confirmed that the pythons were not followed before he could move his eyes to see the surroundings.
From this look, he was stunned.
This is a large space with stone-like walls on all four sides. Although the stone walls seem to be covered with a layer of mottled marks because of their age, this still does not damage the shape of the entire space.
Like a palace, there are rooms on both sides of this space that seem to be countless, and at the end of these rooms, there is this seemingly wide hall. After Ye Wushuang kept walking, he quickly arrived in the hall and looked around. He found that the hall was empty and there were not many furnishings at all. The only place with stone tables and stools was not attractive. Human place.
However, since something exists, Ye Wushuang still wants to take a look after all.
Moving his steps, he quickly walked to the stone tables and stools, but when he reached out to touch these things, the whole hall suddenly became bright and translucent, and even the stone walls, ceilings and floors looked like stone. The things glowed with fluorescent light. It was almost just a moment of effort, and the slightly dim place that was originally underground became visible.
"Welcome to the lost country!"
When a voice sounded, Ye Wushuang was shocked, but when he turned his head and wanted to carefully distinguish the source of the voice, he felt that the voice seemed to come from all directions, making him unpredictable.
"Who?!" Ye Wushuang yelled, but there was a buzzing echo.
"Young man, don't be impulsive, you just want to see me. However, after seeing me, don't be surprised!" The voice rang again, and Ye Wushuang quickly unfolded his figure and swept towards the left wall. Go, this time he heard it correctly, the voice came from the wall on the left.
"boom!"
Before Ye Wushuang could grab the left wall, the wall suddenly swayed to both sides like a retractable door, and the scene in front of Ye Wushuang could not help but set it for a while, and then stepped towards it. Stepped back a few steps.
Countless entangled and interspersed glass-like long tubes are connected at one end in a large vessel like a melting furnace. The other end is connected to the body of a shriveled person. It is said to be a human body, but the thick transparent tube behind it is inserted straight into the back. If it is a human, if the body is broken like this, there will be life there. If it is a human, then this person is too scary. Some.
With the shriveled body, the muscles of the whole body are completely gone. It seems that there is only a piece of skin that wraps the bones of the whole body. You can even clearly find that under the skin, the size of the bones. shape. It is more appropriate to say that this is a corpse, it is more appropriate to say that it is a skeleton, but this skeleton-like corpse can still speak like a human!
How can Ye Wushuang not be shocked by such a situation!
"Young man, I'm surprised." The extremely dry person, seeing Ye Wushuang's expression, immediately moved the corner of his mouth and smiled. But in Ye Wushuang's eyes, this smile was many times uglier than any embarrassing expression.
However, Ye Wushuang was a person from the magical world after all. He was used to seeing skeletons and other things. After the initial shock, he no longer had any extra emotions.
The withered person calmed down when he saw Ye Wushuang's look, and immediately gave Ye Wushuang a complimentary smile, and then looked around, he sighed slightly and said: "How many years have passed, no one has come here anymore? Here, the long years have almost cut off the vitality of my whole body, but I still survived tenaciously. It’s good to be alive. Even like me, the meaning of survival is far better than being silent. A lot of it."
Ye Wushuang licked his dry to cracked lips, tried to accumulate two saliva, swallowed and moisturized his throat, before he asked in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?"
"Who am I?" The withered man suddenly smiled like a wry smile, then looked at Ye Wushuang, and suddenly hugged his head like crazy and said: "Who am I, who am I, who am I? , The long years, have I even forgotten my name?"
Ye Wushuang was stunned for a moment, quite a bit who didn't know how to communicate with this person, and the guy who had forgotten his name really made him speechless. Looking at the dry body, he tried his best to ask in the loudest voice: "Excuse me, do you have water here?"
Seeing that the withered man was still at a loss, he had to shout again: "Water, water to drink, do you have it?"
"Water?" The withered man's dazed color faded, and he looked at Ye Wushuang in doubt. After hesitating for a while, he suddenly beckoned. An arm-like thing made entirely of steel was like a horse. Shot at him. In Ye Wushuang's astonishment, the steel arm stopped in front of the withered man, and Ye Wushuang noticed sharply that there was a glass in the fist of the steel arm.
"Water is it!" The dry man suddenly smiled, then reached out his hand to take the glass from the big steel hand, and handed it to Ye Wushuang. He looked at the blood-red liquid in the glass and said: "If you don't mind If so, just drink it, it can temporarily stop your hunger and thirst."
"What is this?" Ye Wushuang frowned. He smelled the faint blood coming from the cup. Although he asked like this, in his heart, he had already judged that this should be blood. .
"This is blood. The most nutritious thing, for a long time, I rely on him to survive." The withered person smiled and handed the cup to Ye Wushuang again, as if it was a devilish temptation. Generally, he said in a very soft voice: "Drink it, drink it, and after drinking it, you will become vigorous again. Survival is more important than anything else."
Ye Wushuang looked at the dry person, and then at the blood-red color rippling in the cup. After a little hesitation, he resolutely picked up the cup and drank the blood in the cup cleanly.
Survival is more important than anything!
Ye Wushuang understood the meaning of this sentence better than anyone else. On Lan Lin star, as long as he encounters something edible, he will swallow his stomach without hesitation to replenish his stamina. Although this kind of life was far away from him after coming to Earth, he found that his original habits on Lan Lin still remained intact after being in such an environment again.
"Very good, very good!" The withered man took the glass that Ye Wushuang handed back, and after a few good voices, he looked at Ye Wushuang with a smile.
Ye Wushuang was a little surprised. Why did this old man suddenly feel the heat in his chest when he looked like this, a scorching airflow, as if left out of thin air, with an irresistible force, using his chest as the origin, to his whole body Violent raging everywhere!
Almost no need to think about it, Ye Wushuang knew that this must be a problem in that cup of blood. The whole body suddenly felt hot and hard to be immediately, and Ye Wushuang three tore off the clothes that had become cloth strips on his body, and lay down on the ground, in order to absorb some cold air on the floor made of stone. But when he lay on the ground, he found that the stones on the ground also had burning heat.
Under the impact of the two phases, he immediately felt a burning pain all over his body.
In almost an instant, Ye Wushuang's whole body was covered with a strange red color, and his whole body was in severe pain. Although he could thump for a while before, but after a few days, he did not eat or drink, and his body resisted. After he couldn't help himself, he could only lie on the ground quietly, breathing faintly like a dead fish.
The burning pain, in this case, did not cut half a point, but it became more and more intense. The sensation arising from the inside of the body, Ye Wushuang had no way to eliminate it, he could only clenched his teeth tightly. anti. But gradually, after this intense pain aggravated, Ye Wushuang discovered that his consciousness had actually begun to show a tendency to gradually loosen up!
Seeing that Ye Wushuang was so different, the withered man couldn't help but smile. This made Ye Wushuang almost want to jump up and kill him, if he can jump up. However, after that, the dry man said something that made Ye Wushuang a little relieved.
"Take it slowly. As long as you don't pass out, you can discover the benefits."
"Benefits, what are the benefits?" Ye Wushuang was successfully attracted to his attention, but when his attention shifted, he suddenly realized that the pain in his body had begun to recede slowly. After gritting his teeth for a long time, when Ye Wushuang was sure that there was nothing unusual about him, he suddenly jumped from the ground.
With this leap, Ye Wushuang discovered his own difference.
This leap was actually nearly half the height of the full-mile upwards in normal days. And this jump was nothing but a move by Ye Wushuang at will.
"Yes, you should be stronger." The dry man said the right words at the right time. When Ye Wuchang cast his doubtful gaze in both directions, he just moved his lips and smiled: "The blood of the Golden Scale Snake King is an extremely precious existence. Many years ago, I worked hard to cultivate such a small snake, and now finally It came in handy. It seems that God wants me to be in the Lin family and have a chance to avenge my grievances."
The withered man suddenly laughed wildly, and the whole hall was full of his laughter echoing.
Ye Wushuang couldn't figure it out. This person was obviously dying, but he was full of breath when he laughed, which was really strange.
The withered man laughed for a long time, and suddenly put away his expression again, causing Ye Wushuang to smile slightly: "Young man, would you like to hear me tell a story?"
"Listen to the story?" Ye Wushuang curled his lips in disdain. When he was about to say that he was not interested, the dry man, regardless of whether he wanted it or not, began to speak for himself.
"Many years ago, I was an avid scientific researcher. At that time, the earth was still at a very backward level of technological civilization. But because of the emergence of such a great person as me, the destiny of the earth began to undergo earth-shaking changes. "
"What, because of you, the earth has undergone earth-shaking changes?" Ye Wushuang was really surprised. After blinking his eyes twice, he asked strangely: "Tell me, after you have you, what has appeared on the earth? what?"
"Young people, old people speak, you should listen respectfully, rather than casually asking questions." The withered person smiled slightly, and then went on to say: "In those days, apart from some close-range surveys, the people on the earth Human beings, a large part of their lives, can only live on the earth, and can never understand the vastness of the starry sky, the endless mystery of the universe. And because of my appearance, all this has changed, the first space on earth that can be implemented The jumping spaceship was born under my great wisdom."
"What, you created the spaceship?" Ye Wushuang was surprised and immediately became interested. Although he didn't read much, he also knew that the spaceship has epoch-making significance for the human beings on the earth. .
And the person in front of him was the creator of the spaceship, and Ye Wushuang immediately paid a lot of respect, but when he moved closer to the withered person, he suddenly opened his eyes and asked: "Impossible, the birth of the spacecraft, it is not known how long is the history, how is it possible, if you really created the spacecraft, how could you still be alive now."
The withered person touched the corners of his mouth, and smiled ugly again: "Yes, I am alive now, but haven't you seen it... Young man... I am alive and I die... There is no big difference at all."
"Naturally, there is a difference." Ye Wushuang looked at the withered person suspiciously, and found that when he was talking here, the transparent glass tube seemed to be continuously pumping some kind of liquid into his body, as if It's this kind of thing that looks greenish, sustaining the life of this dry man.
In great surprise, his previous unbelief was eliminated a lot. After a little stunned, Ye Wushuang asked again in confusion, "Is it really the spaceship you created?"
"Yes!" The withered man seemed to be quite arrogant in reply, but not long after, he sighed and said: "Not only did I invent the spaceship, my other greatest invention was the birth of the mecha! "
"What!?" Ye Wushuang immediately felt his scalp numb, and when his head was buzzing, he still couldn't believe it and asked: "Then what's your name!"
"I already remembered it." After the withered person smiled slightly, he said faintly: "My name should be called-Ye-Zhong-Guang!"
