Chapter 288: Fighting again and again despite repeated failures, full of spirit
It has been a month since he returned to the Kingdom of God, and the scenes of the three days in Sand City keep appearing in Bingdu's mind.
He sat on a rocky outcrop on the Hill of Pillars.
From this position you can see two disaster beasts in the distance.
The fire buffalo, which brought drought with it, was chewing hay, and the surroundings were dry and barren; the jungle monitor lizard, which could stir up wind and rain, was lying in a quagmire, with puddles and mud everywhere with it as the center.
Sand walkers Yanjiu and Nonglei were feeding the disaster beasts with bamboo shoots and fish respectively.
Such scenes are common on the Pillar Mountain.
The tribes from the two great kingdoms would come nearby to watch the competition between the sand walkers. Although Nong Lei was always beaten by Yan Jiu and could not fight back, he kept fighting despite repeated defeats and was very spirited.
Just seeing him desperately fighting back against a strong opponent even though he couldn't win would make people feel very excited.
After going to the Sand City and seeing the two Sand Walkers fighting, Bingdu had a different feeling.
Why do the extraordinary people of the Yao clan keep challenging their limits and refuse to stop? Because there are many talented people in the clan, and if they stop for a moment, they will not be able to keep up with the times.
Every strong person is used to living with pressure.
But in the ghost world, such a lifestyle is unimaginable.
Ghouls spend most of their time sleeping underground. They are not very smart and have a casual nature. They will only go crazy when they are whipped and their survival is in danger.
When encountering those extraordinary people from the Yao clan, the zombies have almost no chance of winning.
Bian Du recalled the scene he saw outside the Sand City.
He had witnessed with his own eyes a battle between an extraordinary person and a cloud-transforming monk.
Both parties are trapped in clouds and fog. This is the deployment of the duel ability of the Cloud Monk. It will be a one-on-one life-and-death fight, and only the winner can leave alive.
Soon the clouds and mist dissipated, and the extraordinary man was covered in blood, barely standing, and the lingering white mist quickly merged into his body.
But he was so badly injured that he just raised one hand before falling to the ground and dying.
The funeral poison can be seen very clearly.
The Yao tribe member raised his injured arm and clenched his fist to declare his victory and glory. Even though he knew he would die soon, this extraordinary person still had a smile on his face, as if he didn't care.
The sight of funeral poison gave me a chill down my spine.
The Yao clan has such terrifying enterprising spirit and sharpness that they are worthy of the civilization created by the powerful gods.
Ghosts are another pain of funeral drugs.
In the Sand City, the ghosts give full play to their respective strengths.
Ghost scholars pass on their knowledge to other groups through oral presentation and debate, and preserve and circulate it through books.
Another part of the ghosts wear [Ghost Armor]. Relying on this sophisticated armor, they can move and touch various objects as if they were alive, and participate in research and production in various fields, just like living people.
And in the ghost world.
The ghosts used the black tombstones as their homes and formed small groups. Apart from requiring the ghosts to be proficient in using ghost fire, the two apostles had no other requirements for them.
Couldn't ask for more.
Ghosts themselves find it difficult to use physical tools, cannot participate in digging and construction, nor can they fish, cut wood, and smelt.
Apostle Blo made many attempts to make better use of this large group, but unfortunately all failed.
In the ghost world, ghosts are like a group of free-range wild people. They play with slugs, tinker with mud and wood, collect bones, love to argue and tell jokes about death, and sleep in when they have nothing to do... This is the current situation.
From this sharp contrast, Bingdu felt a sense of powerlessness.
It wasn't that the ghosts in the ghost world were deliberately lazy, but they simply couldn't do it at this stage. Both the two apostles and the ghosts tried their best.
This is the most painful thing for funeral poison.
The same ethnic group has completely different abilities and mental outlooks in the Phantom World and the Sand City.
The gap between the two sides is so big that it is unbearable to look at.
Just as Bingdu was thinking with a gloomy face, someone next to him greeted him.
"Brother Bingdu, I'm sorry, there was an insect plague in the bamboo forest. We went there to rescue them, which delayed us a little."
The person who came was a short reed farmer with a reed ear on his head and a small body like a child. It was Lushan.
"I just got here too, it's okay."
Bing Du waved his hand: "Business is more important."
It's amazing.
Before going to Sand City, Bingdu regarded the two envoys from Zhulu Kingdom as competitors and remained cautious and vigilant. However, after everything in Sand City shattered his existing cognition, Bingdu chose to cooperate with Lushan.
Although the official cooperation lasted only three days, Lushan demonstrated his extraordinary wisdom and sharpness, leaving Bingdu feeling inferior in many aspects.
Lushan has a gentle personality and is not averse to making friends and sharing knowledge.
Bingdu also reciprocated his kindness, and the two sides spoke to each other openly and frankly, and a wonderful friendship was formed in a few days.
This kind of friendship is based on both mutual recognition of abilities and cooperation with common interests. In addition, it is inseparable from mutual appreciation.
Before leaving Sand City, the two agreed to meet at Pillar Mountain in a month to exchange follow-up experiences.
"The situation in the ghost world is hard to describe."
Bingdu looked in the direction of the Kingdom of God: "I told Apostle Lord Buluo in detail what I saw and heard in Sand City..."
After listening patiently, Buluo just said, "Thank you for your hard work. Keep the matter of Sand City secret for as long as possible."
And then there was no further news.
The entire kingdom of God was peaceful and calm, as if nothing had changed from before. The ghouls were still lazily sleeping, and the ghosts were continuing to entertain themselves in their boring afterlife.
Funeral Season asked him worriedly: "Brother Du, why didn't the Kingdom of God react at all? Shouldn't the construction and tools of Sand City be followed immediately?"
"Whether it's a ghost or a ghoul, we can all learn from the Yao Clan... Now it's like they're pretending not to see or hear anything. How could this be?"
Bingdu understood the reason.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t.
The ghost world is composed of the funeral clan, ghouls and ghosts. This civilization structure is very different from that of the Sand City.
The Sand City has various extraordinary races, including forest elemental creatures such as elves, shrews, and tree people, as well as the Uji people who live with sand and stones, sandworms, and a large number of ghosts.
Without a ghost lighthouse, ghost armor, and a complete and mature civilization foundation, it would be impossible to imitate the Yao clan.
It's like lack of core materials, no matter how skilled the undertakers are, they can't make a black tombstone.
The ghost world can only accept the huge gap in existence with a calm and restrained attitude, lay a solid foundation first, and start by screening out the intelligent people from each race.
If one does not observe and understand thoroughly enough, one may mistakenly believe that the ghost world has given up the pursuit.
“…That’s the situation.”
Tell the truth about the funeral poison.
After witnessing the advanced culture and wonderful creations displayed by the Yao people in Sand City, his thoughts have changed dramatically compared to before.
The world outside is wonderful, but also helpless.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
If you want to try your best to catch up and touch a place like Sand City, you must let go of the either-or thinking of the past, look to more distant goals, and face yourself down to earth.
Otherwise, if we only care about what we can see, what is the point even if we can defeat Zhulu Kingdom? If God Yao does not nod, the outcome of the war between gods is meaningless.
Bian Du also honestly told Buluo about his relationship with Lushan, and the apostle superior expressed his approval.
"In the long run, the Ghost Realm and Zhulu Kingdom will cooperate again, and this day should not be too long. Don't worry, go for it and give it a try."
After hearing Bingdu's description, Lushan's face was full of shock.
Because in Zhulu Kingdom, the situation is exactly the opposite.
After learning the detailed intelligence of Sand City, Apostle Zhunan immediately made a series of mobilizations: expand the scale of bamboo forests and further improve the quality of bamboo shoots, vigorously promote the further development of bamboo materials, find and cultivate wild species, develop animal husbandry, and all bamboo people and reed people must take action.
The entire Zhulu Kingdom was shrouded in a tense and serious environment.
Many reed people discussed privately, wondering if there would be another war or some kind of natural disaster was about to happen, and everyone was on edge.
Lushan knew that this was the heavy pressure brought by Sand City.
As a reed citizen who excels in construction and creation, Lushan's understanding of Sand City far exceeds that of his colleague Zhuhu.
The urban order displayed by the Sand City has amazing creativity and inventions among the seemingly ordinary streets and houses.
It's like sailing on the ground.
This kind of vehicle that can move freely on the ground and underground is a powerful weapon for any kingdom of God.
It not only expands everyone's movable space, but also enhances the city's radiation range, and is of great significance to transportation and trade.
According to the ghosts, this type of vehicle is a symbol of backwardness among the Yao clan.
In the big cities of the Yao Clan's world, steam carriages are now popular. The iron-wheeled carriages driven by the copper furnace heart are not only faster and more stable, but can also cross complex terrains.
Lushan could only envy.
Another example is buildings.
The houses in the sand city are almost all built of stone, with flat roofs and small windows. These designs can cope with the storms and yellow sand in the desert, and reduce the impact of strong winds and the accumulation of sand and dust.
The flat roof can be used to dry food and clothes, and it dissipates heat quickly and keeps things cool.
The roof and windows of a house may seem ordinary, but they are the result of rich construction experience. Such inventions that are difficult to discover are everywhere.
Lu Shan consulted the ghost scholar Bo Cha and learned that the Yao tribe had a special engineering school and engineers. This group was dedicated to building various houses and improving fortifications to cope with various severe climates and extreme disasters.
In addition, what impressed Lushan the most was the Shacheng Rose.
The sand roses evenly arranged outside the city have a metallic luster on their surface. The brown-yellow flowers are obviously plants, but they are as hard as rock.
These tall and shining roses also serve as the outer wall guards of the Sand City.
They can fire spikes to punish bad citizens and invaders, and their lethality is no less than that of black tombstones.
Lushan couldn't help but think.
If the Yao clan continues to expand this kind of rose, they can easily create rose sentry towers all over the world, making it difficult for any enemy to gain a foothold.
It is both a building and a plant, both a gorgeous flower and a sharp sword.
Lushan initially thought that this kind of life was created by gods.
But according to the gardener Shak, roses were cultivated by an apostle named Pinkman - there are several varieties like the sand rose.
It is natural for Zhulu Kingdom to feel pressure and fear.
…
Lushan and Biandu shared what they saw and couldn't help but feel emotional.
The same cognition brought completely different reactions and turmoil to the two great divine kingdoms.
This is also a reflection of the differences in the styles of the gods.
Before they parted, Lu Shan asked a question: "Do you think that the kingdom of God we are in can catch up with the Yao clan?"
Bingdu hesitated for a moment: "...It's very, very difficult."
He said: "But there should still be hope to catch up with Sand City. Since the Yao Clan invited us over, they are not afraid of us learning. Sand City is just a new city built by the Yao Clan in the Vortex World... If we can go to the big cities in the Yao Clan's world, we should see a bigger gap."
Lu Shan said: "I think that even if our generation cannot catch up, as long as we keep catching up and making progress, the gap will narrow."
Seeing the other party's high morale, Bingdu didn't want to be outdone: "Of course. We have a lot of room for growth. It will be much more difficult for the Yao Clan to speed up than for us."
The two looked straight ahead.
On the flat-topped mountain not far away, the young Nong Lei was knocked away by Yan Jiu's punch again. He wiped the blood from his nose with the back of his hand and struggled to get up.
Lu Shan said softly: "I believe that one day we will build our own sand city. I just don't know if you and I can wait until that day."
"Yes."
Funeral Du emphasized firmly: "It will definitely happen."
