The stone dagger finally stopped when it was about to hit the carotid artery.
Only then did Aluluo recover from his dizziness. When he saw Ning Tao's stone dagger already on his neck, his whole body froze. His eyes were full of shock, unwillingness, and confusion.
He obviously couldn't understand that he was so strong, so he was defeated by a skinny human god? In this real world, magic power does not exist, and strong body and strength are king. But looking horizontally, vertically, or even upside down, he is much stronger than Ning Tao.
However, the reality is cruel, and no one who looks strong is strong.
In the ditch, Bi Mingzhu clenched her pearly pink fists tightly and shouted excitedly: "Kill him!"
In this situation, it would be easy for Ning Tao to kill Aluluo, but he did not do that. He removed the stone dagger from Aluluo's neck, then took a step back and said, "Let's go."
Aluluo was stunned for a moment, then turned over and got up from the ground, still looking a little confused. Just before Ning Tao spoke, he thought he was dead, but he didn't expect Ning Tao to let him go instead of killing him.
Ning Tao took another step back. He was too close to this guy and he didn't feel safe. Moreover, he was not sure whether Aluluo would attack him again. The reason why he didn't want to kill Aluluo was because he felt that this orc god was not bad. At least he didn't attack him when they first met. In this real world where people eat people, this is already quite good. It’s so valuable. He didn't want to kill an orc god who looked fierce but was actually not bad. After all, his other identity was a natural middleman between good and evil.
"You... why don't you kill me?" Aluluo said.
Ning Tao said: "Why should I kill you?"
"Why did you lie to me?" There was obvious anger in Aluluo's eyes.
Ning Tao said calmly: "Do you think I'm lying to you?"
Aluluo snorted coldly: "Isn't it? The Holy Mountain was originally in this direction, but you actually told me that it was in the opposite direction!"
Ning Tao said: "Yes, I did it on purpose, but I did it for your own good."
Aluluo was stunned for a moment: "For my own good?"
Ning Tao raised his finger and pointed to the other side of the valley: "Crossing this mountain, there are murderous gangs everywhere. There are several gangs of dozens of people. Along the way, I also met many people who wanted to kill me. I think you are a simple god who doesn't want you to be killed by them, so I pointed you in the opposite direction. Yes, I lied to you, but it was a white lie. I lied to you, then I have nothing to say.”
Aluluo was still there, looking confused.
He had a feeling that although he didn't know whether what the Son-in-Chief God said was true or false, he saw that the way the Son-in-Chief God spoke and the look in his eyes at that moment were so sincere and touching.
"You can go, but I still suggest you go in the opposite direction." Ning Tao said: "If you climb over this holy mountain, that is the real killing place. If you are discovered, you can come back even if you want to." It’s impossible.”
"No matter what, I'm going to have a look. If you lie to me, if you don't kill me, we'll be even. Next time we meet, I won't attack you. If someone hits you, I will help you. That's it." Aluluo turned and left, heading over the Holy Mountain towards the Holy Palace.
Ning Tao wanted to persuade him again, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Is it safe to go in the opposite direction
If it doesn't exist, that's just a self-deception. This is a real world where people eat people. Even if Aluro keeps walking in the opposite direction, he still has to kill other seeds and eat other seeds to survive. If he didn't, he would die too. In the face of such a real world, is escape useful? Moreover, there is at least one hope if we go to the Holy Palace.
Ning Tao watched Al Luo disappear into the blood mist before looking away, and then walked towards the place where Bi Mingzhu was hiding. Before he could cross the first trench, Bi Mingzhu had already crossed two trenches and came to his side. .
"Laosong, why don't you kill him? He was so fierce just now. If you fall into his hands, he will definitely kill you." Bi Mingzhu said.
Ning Tao said: "He is actually not bad. We met before. He did not attack me, but I showed him the way and pointed him in the opposite direction."
"So that's it." Bi Mingzhu smiled, and then got into Ning Tao's arms, "I really didn't expect you to be so bad."
Ning Tao smiled and said, "Is this bad? I did it for his own good and didn't want him to be eaten by others."
"But he still went in the direction of the Holy Palace. You let him go, but those people will never let him go." Bi Mingzhu said.
Ning Tao sighed: "That is also his own choice. Let's go and visit the waterhole you mentioned."
Bi Mingzhu did not leave his arms, looking at him with the standard gaze of a husband: "You are willing to let go of even an enemy. You are so kind. I am so touched."
Ning Tao: "..."
He was also very touched.
Bi Mingzhu seemed to have noticed something, her ears turned red, and she hurriedly let go of Ning Tao: "Well, let's go."
Only she knew how moved she was, but Laosong's move could be seen at a glance. She could help Laosong calm down, but now was obviously not the time.
The two were on the road again, running hand in hand through the valley, running through patches of blood-colored grass and leaping over trenches.
The combination of the God of Delivery and the Goddess of Liberty is like an off-road vehicle, turning on its bright headlights to disperse the thick fog and sprinting through complex terrain.
After a while, at a certain point Bi Mingzhu said: "Lao Sang, we have reached the central area. Do you see any difference when you look at the ground?"
Ning Tao stopped and looked down at the ground under his feet.
He and Bi Mingzhu stood on a trench, and the ground beneath their feet extended forward in a slope shape. The slope was so smooth that not even a bloody grass grew. And the color is also darker, with a slight purple gradient color change, the deeper you go down, the darker it becomes.
At first glance, although he could not see further, Ning Tao felt that the center of the valley was a large hemispherical crater, as if it had been struck by a meteorite.
I really don’t know what happened here. There is such a big crater, but there is no meteorite visible.
"Mingzhu, can you see the pool?" Ning Tao asked.
Bi Mingzhu looked around: "You can't see it here yet. In this blood mist, I can only see a few hundred meters away, but I found that the color gets darker as you go down. I think the pool in the center should be black." ”
Ning Tao imagined it and said, "Maybe it's not a pool, but an abyss."
"Abyss?" A trace of worry flashed through Bi Mingzhu's green eyes.
"Let's go, let's get off
Go and take a look. Follow me closely and don't wander around. "Ning Tao took Bi Mingzhu's hand and went down to the "crater".
Sure enough, the color gets darker as you go down. After a while, the blood is no longer visible, and the purple becomes darker and darker, until it turns black in the end.
The ground also changed. It was soil at first, then rocks. When it was close to the center, the ground under the feet strangely turned into ground that looked like entangled tree roots. The black "roots" are crisscrossing each other, layer upon layer, extending forward. Some are very thick, almost like a human arm. Some are very thin, like wool for knitting a sweater.
Ning Tao walked a few steps on this "root" ground and then stopped. This place was really weird. An uneasy feeling arose in his heart, but there were clearly no enemies lurking here, and he couldn't figure out where the source of his uneasiness was.
"What are these?" Bi Mingzhu broke the silence between the two.
Ning Tao shook his head: "I don't know either."
Bi Mingzhu squatted down, reached out and grabbed a "root" as thick as wool, and then pulled it up hard.
Ning Tao suddenly realized something and hurriedly shouted: "No!"
But it was already too late, Bi Mingzhu had already pulled up the "root". The thin tree roots looked very strong, but they could not withstand the damage of the Statue of Liberty, and were actually torn apart alive.
Ning Tao instinctively grabbed Bi Mingzhu's hand and prepared to pull her away.
But nothing happened.
No trap was activated, and the thousands of tree roots under their feet did not wake up, entangle their feet or anything. This place is as dead as the past time and space hundreds of millions of years ago, so quiet that there is not even a sound.
Bi Mingzhu was originally calm, but when Ning Tao held her hand, she became nervous: "Lao Sang, what's going on?"
Ning Tao let go of Bi Mingzhu's hand: "It's nothing, I'm just worried about what trap you will activate this time."
"No." Bi Mingzhu looked left and right.
Ning Tao was speechless at her reaction. Are you too late to realize this
But he didn't say anything more. He also tore off a thin tree root from the ground and held it in his hand to watch.
"What is this?" Bi Mingzhu came over.
Ning Tao looked at it carefully, grinded it with his fingers, and then said: "I thought it was a tree root just now, but it wasn't. I think it is like... a fiber."
"Fiber?" Bi Mingzhu handed the "fiber" in her hand to her eyes and looked at it carefully, but judging from her reaction, she obviously didn't believe what kind of fiber it was.
Ning Tao said again: "The fibers I'm talking about are not the fibers on clothes, but the fibers on cables. Do you know cables?"
Bi Mingzhu was stunned for a moment: "I know, in the world I dominate, many civilizations can use electric energy. Civilized Meizhen people can emit light themselves, so there is no need to generate electricity, but I have seen cables, but they don't look like Ah. The first cables I have seen are only as thick as an arm, but you are talking about the fiber inside the cable. How thick is it? Also, when you put it this way, are we in the same cable? "
Ning Tao was a little sure at first, but when she said that, he was not sure anymore.
That's true. If these were cables in front of him, wouldn't he and Bi Mingzhu be inside a cable now, or on the cross section of a cable that penetrated the ring-shaped sacred mountain
unimaginable.
