Chapter 176 Not only did you not save me, you also wanted to eat me?! (Please give me a monthly ticket at the beginning of the month!)
The voice sounded very polite, yet a little timid and trembling.
It was as if he was a patient with social phobia, and it took him a long time to come up with these words.
【Travelers, can you save me? 】
Lu Yuan swallowed his saliva, his expression changed slightly: "Did you hear a strange sound?"
"I heard you. Retreat quickly." The old cat said expressionlessly.
[Travelers, I...I was eaten by a bug on the tree, can you...save me? ]
【I am trapped here.】
This scene seems familiar?
Lu Yuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a fat white caterpillar lying on a tree making the magical sound.
Lu Yuan exclaimed: "Perhaps, every [Demon] will choose to fabricate similar lies? Or perhaps, I have a special physique that attracts [Demons]?"
You have to know that his tricycle has the "Hide" engraving, and the one who can discover their group must be a species with higher divine attributes.
Lu Yuan quickened the pace of pedaling the tricycle.
"The wind is strong, hurry up!"
The tricycle started to run away.
The devil, who possesses a high level of intelligence, is truly terrifying.
Lu Yuan didn't want to get entangled with these guys. Having a mirror demon was already troublesome enough, and if there was another one, he was afraid that he would not be able to handle it.
[I…I’m not a demon? ! !] The clear voice began to get anxious, stumbling over it, [When I woke up, I found myself embedded in a tree!]
[I may have been eaten by this big tree. After it died, a group of insects came.]
【Then I was eaten by bugs again.】
[I might also be the offspring of this tree? In that case, who am I? Why am I here?]
[This is really weird... Can you guys save me? I'm in the worm's belly! Please save me, please! It's boring if I stay here forever!]
This voice began to mutter non-stop like a chatterbox, and then began to struggle with the ultimate question of life: "Who am I?"
It began to get excited and felt the joy of communication on its own.
From a timid voice at the beginning, he turned into a chatterbox within a few minutes.
"Could it be a newly born [demon]?"
"Does the [monster] have wisdom?"
"It depends on the species," said the old cat. "Some have it, some don't. But even if they do, their intelligence won't be very high."
It pursed its lips and looked at the Immortal Giant Turtle.
"So, if I kill the monster with a cannon, can I achieve a milestone in civilization?!" Lu Yuan stopped the tricycle and said excitedly.
The old cat snorted coldly, "You'd better be careful. You know how cunning the devil is. He's just talking nonsense and trying to trick you."
"But there seems to be some truth in its tone."
"[Demons] can disguise their personalities, just like the researcher from the Dalai Empire. Didn't you discover it before the real answer was revealed?"
"Well, that's right. You can never be too careful." Lu Yuan wiped the sand off his forehead.
The Immortal Giant Turtle shouted, "Are you a researcher from the Dalai Empire?"
[I... So I am a researcher? Do you know me? ]
"Of course I know you!" The Immortal Giant Turtle said bluntly, "You're a bug!"
[You, you, you...you are the bug! But I am not a bug! ]
"I am a turtle! You are a bug!" The immortal giant turtle spoke loudly and confidently.
The greedy demon Lu Yuan was already feeling very uncomfortable because he saw the corpse of the strange creature but didn't dare to pick it up.
Now there is a little trash who can talk, which makes Lu Yuan feel even more uncomfortable.
The old cat's amber eyes stared at the direction where the sound came from: "This situation does not seem like a demon."
"Why?"
The old cat said: "Intelligent species can pretend to be unintelligent, and they can also pretend to be wronged."
"But smart people must follow logic. There are so many bugs around. Can't the demon just find a bug to possess and run away?"
“That makes sense.”
"But it shouldn't be a demon. I've never heard of demons being able to reproduce, otherwise they would have taken over the world long ago. So I think..." The old cat's eyes flashed, and he came to the final conclusion. His chubby cat face came to a serious conclusion, "Grandpa Turtle is right. It's a giant insect that has become a spirit and can talk. It tricked you into coming over and wants to eat you."
[You you you... I am a bug?] That voice sounded like it was the first time it had been wronged and was about to cry.
"Very good, that makes sense!" Lu Yuan stepped on the tricycle. He looked at the sandworms fighting in the distance and felt a little sad.
I finally found something that could talk, but it turned out to be a bug...
Although I am not the president of the Appearance Association, I can't stand the company of giant cockroaches.
It doesn’t matter if you have a nice voice.
It’s better for us not to meet each other.
The crisp voice was a little anxious: [I am not a bug? I was just eaten by a bug... Eh? Who am I? Anyway, I am definitely not a bug. ]
【All I know is that I am very smart. 】
[You see, in just a few days, I have learned your language...]
[Smart things all look beautiful. I look like... like what? ]
[I have no way to describe it, because here, I have only seen big trees and insects. I don't know the shapes of other creatures, so I have no way to describe it.]
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment.
Yes, this guy was actually speaking Chinese, and he almost ignored it just now.
"So, this thing has been eavesdropping all along?"
In fact, even Lao Mao spoke Chinese haltingly at first, but gradually became fluent later on.
This guy learned it after just a few days of eavesdropping. He must be extremely intelligent.
Is this true or false?
Why are you arguing with the immortal giant turtle?
His mind raced: "Where are you and how can I get you out?"
[I have been eaten by a bug. You can save me by killing the bug.]
"Which bug?"
[The big meatworm with a fat belly was hanging on the tree to rest. It had 72 green legs and a red tumor on its back.]
【Be careful, it will release poisonous gas. 】
[Dear traveler, are you willing to rescue me now? ]
[You are the kindest person in the world, please save the poor little thing that was eaten...]
【It's just a simple task. 】
Amidst the clear and pleasant praises, Lu Yuan rode his tricycle, waved his hand, and left without any sympathy.
"Bye, I was just asking."
"That doesn't mean I'm going to rescue you."
As the leader of the 18th human civilization and the king of garbage pickers, he has received so much praise that he has long been immune to these beggars.
The tires left two long scratches in the desert.
Gone...
Really gone...
"Why don't you catch the talking one and eat it?" The turtle said excitedly, "That guy is so stupid. I feel I am outsmarted by him."
"I'll wait until I find the Sky City and have time to deal with this guy."
“Steamed or braised?”
(Shh, it must be eavesdropping.) Lu Yuan said this, but in fact he wanted to observe patiently for a while.
Now is the age of technology, so there is no need to rush up and fight insects hand-to-hand.
The big meatworm was hanging so obviously on the tree that if it was not killed, it would be crippled if not killed by a cannonball.
In this dry desert, once you get injured, you will be hunted crazily by other insects.
So, it's not difficult to rescue that guy...
But because he had been deceived by the devil, Lu Yuan appeared to be very cautious.
He would rather observe for a while than act rashly.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The voice became more and more anxious: [I, I, I... I begged you so much... Not only did you not save me, you even wanted to eat me. You are really a bunch of... big... big... bad guys! ]
It was my first time swearing, and I stumbled a lot.
But this abusive language is not only harmless, but also somewhat funny.
The immortal giant turtle showed no mercy and hurled out his famous curse formula like a machine gun.
He defeated the opponent in one fell swoop.
[You...you useless...a piece of trash...if you have the guts, come and save me. Let me teach you a lesson!]
The Undying Giant Turtle actually only knew those three tricks, and began its Zaun greeting: "Wahahaha, Savadi Barbara!"
The two sides roared at each other from a distance. The Immortal Giant Turtle felt that he was far ahead in terms of swearing. His voice became louder and louder, waking up more insects.
[You...you are a turtle without morals! I have never heard such dirty words...you are the worst...worst turtle in the world!]
"Wa ...
Perhaps because the sound was too loud, the insects gnawing on the surrounding trees began to move one by one, forming a swarm of insects.
The ferocious murderous intent became more and more intense.
Countless insects began to search for enemies around them.
An overwhelming swarm of insects rushed over, forming a violent gale.
The smart people have already hidden themselves in another dimension, but the stupid turtle is still cursing there.
[Quickly... run away. You're running away?! ]
"Swish!" A huge sandworm jumped out from the ground, wrapped around the turtle like a python, and greeted it.
In the midst of the bright light, the tortoise’s miserable howl was heard: “Why is it always the tortoise that gets hurt!”
It turned to stone again.
…
Without mourning for the death of the immortal giant turtle for a moment, Lu Yuan, who was hiding in a different space, looked at the overwhelming swarm of insects with panic in his heart.
"What now?"
When a demon dies, all things come to life.
This corpse is just like a whale fall, forming a very unique ecosystem.
Those insects with ranks are obviously at the top of the food chain. In addition, there are a large number of small insects as big as peanuts and fists, which are at the bottom of the food chain.
These little bugs are flying all over the sky, their number is in the billions, which makes people feel a little intensive phobia.
Even the insects that have bred have multiplied to such an extent that it is hard to imagine how powerful the [monster] must have been when it was alive.
"If this big tree really died of thirst after escaping from the Sky City, then this desert may be much more vast than you imagined." The old cat suddenly said, "Looking for a needle in a haystack like this, if there is a slight deviation in the route, it may be hundreds of kilometers away."
Lu Yuan was silent: "You mean, I need a guide?"
"That's right... this guy should know some information."
"But you have to bear the specific risks yourself."
Lu Yuan pondered for a while. They had been in the arid zone for nearly seven months. (Four months of learning carving) There had not been a single drop of rain in these seven months.
Even though they tried to save water as much as possible and used renewable means, water resources were still slowly being lost.
Maybe even the city in the sky has no water! Fortunately, they have a space transmission device.
If it really doesn't work, just teleport back to the territory of the Rize civilization, replenish water, and then teleport back.
But teleporting is the last resort.
After a back and forth transmission, the Fiery Red Spirit Crystal has no more energy left.
Lu Yuan only had one "Shining Spirit Crystal" and one Fiery Red Spirit Crystal in his hand.
He couldn't accept the huge consumption caused by the back and forth transmission.
"Okay, I'll go contact that guy and give it a try."
Just like that, after waiting for a while in the alien space, the insect tide gradually subsided, and the desert became a mess, with insect claws and shells everywhere.
A new round of competition ended, and the surviving insects went back to chew on the wood.
Lu Yuan cancelled the alien space, moved the turtle that had turned into stone back onto the tricycle, and slowly rode it to a small sand dune.
[Mr. Traveler, you...you come back to save me! ]
"Do you know where the Castle in the Sky is?"
[What city... I... I only know the general direction. If you rescue me, I will tell you.] The other party said weakly, as if he was lying.
"Cough cough." Lu Yuan coughed heavily, revealing the serious expression of an older class teacher.
[Well, I don't know, sorry...but I can find it, please believe me. ]
“Are you a vision?”
[I don’t know what I am… I even learned to speak on the spur of the moment.]
Lu Yuan had a blank expression on his face, pretending to be serious.
He complained in his heart: Did he find a baby? He took out a small anti-aircraft gun from his storage space, calculated the trajectory, and aimed at the fat white bug.
"I launched the attack. If I kill you, you can't blame me."
What is death by explosion?
“…”
[No...it's okay. I have protective gear, just attack me!]
Lu Yuan took out a small anti-aircraft gun with a caliber of about 40 mm. Its effective range was 4 kilometers, which was considered to be a relatively powerful weapon he had.
In fact, he had used this thing in the territory of the Rize civilization, but he was never very accurate, so it became the old cat's exclusive toy.
Fortunately, after a sudden realization, Lu Yuan's calculation ability improved by leaps and bounds. He decided to do it himself. After all, men always like this violent weapon.
"I'm here to save you."
"The sand is so soft. Are you setting up the artillery position to shoot the shells at your own head?" shouted the old cat.
"Besides, you have to lubricate it and check its condition. My god, are you going to blow yourself up by using it directly? The barrel needs to be heated up a little. Do you understand thermal expansion and contraction?"
