As soon as the three-eyed monkey died, the beast tide collapsed immediately.
The giant turtle continued to drive north at a steady pace. Gui Laosan led the caravan escort and rummaged through the objects left by the bald men for a long time, but failed to find anything useful, so he put the matter aside for the time being.
Ji Hao squats on the city wall closest to the giant turtle's head every day, enjoying the scenery and chatting with the giant turtle.
The Starry Sky Turtle, who had lived for an unknown number of years, was a talker. After getting to know Ji Hao for two days, he began to talk to Ji Hao about the interesting things he had encountered in his long life.
Starting from his hometown, the bottomless abyss deep in the northern wilderness, the giant turtle described to Ji Hao that in the boundless dark abyss, countless huge aquatic life forms were fighting crazily to survive and reproduce. , the cruel scene of devouring each other.
After a long period of incubation, the Starry Sky Turtle responded to the call in his bloodline, left the abyss where he was hatched, walked away in the air, signed a mutually beneficial contract with the contractor of the Turtle Spirit Caravan, and became a member of the Turtle Spirit Caravan from then on. .
For thousands of years, this giant turtle carried the city on its back, accompanying generations of members of the turtle caravan, traveling back and forth between the Central Continent and the Southern Wilderness. He has seen the terrifying flames of war in the Central Continent, the crazy killings in the void, and even the bloodiest tribal massacre in the Southern Wilderness.
In his life, he had seen too many powerful warriors and peerless beauties.
"However, the most beautiful girl in your human race, in my opinion, still lacks a tortoise shell!" The giant turtle looked up at the sky with great fascination, and sighed leisurely: "When I break through to the realm of the Witch Emperor, I will truly Now that I'm an adult starry sky turtle, I can find a turtle mother-in-law and give birth to a lot of baby turtles. The meaning of life is reproduction!"
Ji Hao listened to the Starry Sky Turtle's emotion. He smiled and shook his head: "The meaning of life is not just reproduction, right?"
The giant turtle blinked his small eyes and looked back at Ji Hao almost slyly: "Oh, oh, we don't have as many messy thoughts as you humans. We have food, drink, and we won't be killed with violence before the end of our lives. Even if we die, we can still give birth to enough offspring so that the group can multiply and grow. This is the whole meaning of our existence."
"As for..." The giant turtle hesitated, but he looked at Ji Hao's young face, blinked his eyes, lowered his voice, and muttered in a low voice: "As for the many things that you humans are pursuing, We don’t take it seriously.”
Ji Hao looked at the giant turtle in surprise: "What do we have that we value but you don't care about?"
The giant turtle was silent for a while, and then lowered his voice very low again: "For example, dignity and glory!"
Shaking his huge head, the giant tortoise, which had already reached the northernmost edge of the Southern Wilderness Continent, took one step across a large river that was hundreds of miles wide, then took two fierce steps and stepped into the boundless river. In the endless void.
Under the limbs of the giant turtle, a large hazy starlight spread out. He slowly walked in the bottomless black void as if on flat ground. Step by step, step by step, each step left starlight footprints for miles around in the void. The shining footprints would not slowly dissipate until he walked thousands of miles away.
Ji Hao looked at the giant turtle in silence. After the giant turtle ran wildly in the void for more than half an hour, he turned his head and smiled slowly at Ji Hao: "This is not a brave thing to say. But there are too many tyrannical records in our blood. The scene of a temporary existence being wiped out. The Starry Sky Turtle is not a top-notch existence. It is good that the group can continue to reproduce. "
Ji Hao simply jumped off the city wall, came to the area where the giant turtle's neck and carapace met, and gently patted the rough calluses on the giant turtle's neck.
"I can understand. Everything in heaven and earth has its own pursuit. Some people pursue eternal immortality, while others pursue brilliant but short-lived glory like shooting stars. All kinds of frost and sky compete for freedom, and all living things are born in heaven and earth. Any appeal is in line with... "
For the last sentence, Ji Hao looked at the silent and steady look of the giant turtle and uttered one word with some difficulty: "Tao!"
All kinds of frost and sky compete for freedom, all things are born between heaven and earth, and any appeal is in line with...'Tao'!
The giant turtle blinked, turned his head, and silently considered Ji Hao's words.
Ji Hao stood on the neck of the giant turtle and looked at the sudden strange scene around him in shock:
In the void, the giant turtle seemed to be walking slowly step by step, but in fact, his speed was more than ten times faster than on the Southern Wilderness Continent. In the Southern Wilderness, the giant turtle must always be careful. If he kicks too hard, he will make a big hole in the Southern Wilderness continent or collapse several mountains.
But in the void, no matter how fast the starry sky turtle runs, the boundless void can withstand his speed.
In just over half an hour, the giant tortoise has traveled nearly a million miles. The smallest piece is like sand dust, and the largest is only a few miles in size. It stretches for countless thousands of miles, like stardust in the ocean, suddenly appearing in front of the giant turtle.
The vast stardust reflects the light of countless stars above, below, left, and behind, and the colorful streams of light are gorgeous, like a colorful ocean.
Countless beautiful creatures that looked like dolphins but were hundreds of feet long, covered with light blue light and smoke, sprang up in the stardust, flicked their tails briskly, and then quickly galloped away into the distance. .
These mysterious creatures with unknown names swim in the void, just like dolphins swimming in the water. Every movement is filled with smooth melody, and it is so beautiful that it is simply shocking.
A giant beast that looked like a blue whale but was several miles long was swimming quickly on the edge of this group of strange creatures. On the back of the giant beast stood dozens of burly men several feet tall. They hold long poles, like wranglers on the grassland, controlling the direction in which those beautiful creatures swim.
Seeing the starry sky turtle approaching, a topless man laughed loudly from hundreds of miles away:
"Ah, are you friends from the caravan? We are so thirsty. Our tongues have not touched a drop of wine for more than ten years! Do you have any good wine? We have many good things here that we can exchange with you!"
Gui Laosan always appears at the right time when he is needed.
He leaned out half of his body from the sentry tower and waved his arms enthusiastically to say hello to the big men:
"Oh, oh, who did I see? Brothers of the Mu Xing clan, how are you doing recently? The last time I met your clan was a hundred and seventy years ago. Good wine stewards Enough, especially your favorite, sweet wine soaked in wild honey, you can have as much as you want!"
Hearty laughter spread throughout the void, and the beautiful creatures stopped swimming and looked over curiously.
The giant whale quickly flew towards the giant turtle, and the two quickly approached.
