Chapter 178 Picking up epic trash? !
Just thinking this, Lu Yuan slowly crawled in the sand for two kilometers.
The density of insects has reached the point where they can be seen everywhere.
A small screwworm happened to crawl over. It did not notice the tender and delicious Lu Yuan, but just treated Lu Yuan as a soft bed and lay down on him directly.
How could there be such soft sand? The little screwworm rolled over in happiness.
"Damn it, you have no shame." Lu Yuan felt deeply uncomfortable when in close contact with this thing. Fortunately, he was wearing protective clothing so there was no flesh touching flesh.
He picked up two straws from the ground, poked the damn bug, and threw the other straw at the other bugs.
This seems to be a serious provocation.
Suddenly, the other party was furious! The two sides wrestled together.
"Fortunately, these guys haven't evolved intelligence, otherwise they would have been dead after crawling around here for ten blocks."
After climbing to a distance of about one kilometer from the conch, Lu Yuan took out a small crossbow from the storage space, installed a barb on it, aimed in the direction, and fired it out with a "whoosh".
The barb cut through the space and accurately tied up the conch.
As if it could tell that Lu Yuan was trying to save it, the conch remained motionless and made no sound, allowing Lu Yuan to pull it.
Lu Yuan returned the same way, climbed out carefully, put the conch on his tricycle, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
…
At this time, the immortal giant turtle also recovered from its stone state and said happily: "Brother, where did you get the seafood? It smells so good!"
Lu Yuan glanced at it with disdain. In fact, the conch had no fragrance at all, only the stench of insect gastric juice.
[Big stupid turtle...you are not dead?] the voice said tremblingly.
I clearly saw the turtle being bitten to death by insects, but then it came back to life, and it seemed like it was relieved.
"So it's you, caught by my brother. Haha, today's a snack!" The turtle walked forward and took a threatening bite.
Then it stayed where it was, its indestructible teeth almost breaking.
Lu Yuan knocked on the conch shell. "Mr. or Ms., please open the door and check the water meter."
He had to identify what this thing was.
Otherwise, it would be better to cook it and recycle this starry sky conch.
[Wait...wait a minute, please move me to a cool place, I don't want to be exposed to the sun. ]
It seemed that it knew that the group of people outside were wary of each other, and after hesitating for a long time, it opened the lid of the conch.
A small vine emerged, with a light blue gem tied to it. It sparkled brightly in the sunlight and was very beautiful.
[An unknown alien, for unknown reasons, can only be preserved in the form of a soul in a strange object that can accommodate souls. ]
[Shape: 1.5]
【Air: 18.1】
[God: 33.9]
【ability:??】
[Extraordinary Level: Level 1]
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment. What kind of three-dimensional distribution is this? In particular, the divine attribute of 33.9 is really exaggerated to the point of being outrageous.
You should know that he only has 16 points of divine attribute now.
The two innate abilities of eternal fire and complete spiritualization can raise the upper limit of some "gods"...
In addition, long-term consumption of "Soul Infant Fruit" can also improve it slightly.
But it is hard to say what the upper limit is.
Before the soul completely solidifies, being a "God" at around 20-25 points should be a remarkable achievement.
33.9 God, it's really exaggerated! Only after the soul solidifies, Lu Yuan can catch up with this attribute value. Before the soul solidifies, there is basically no hope.
He looked again at the moving green vines.
[Sea Soul Grass, a magical plant with soul affinity. Many animals use Sea Soul Grass to replace their limbs after losing them. ]
[Due to its special soul characteristics, sea soul grass is an important trading target between intelligent civilizations. ]
[It is now on the verge of extinction due to overfishing. ]
The emerald green vine showed off its soul gem, then shrank back with a whoosh.
[See? I can't stay in the sun for a long time, sir. Thank you for saving me.] The other party said politely.
"What's your name? Why do you look like this? Which civilization are you from?" Lu Yuan asked a series of questions.
【I… don’t… have a name. 】
[I was born in this conch, and only became conscious in the last few years. Then those insects flew over and ate me, and I fell into a long hibernation.]
[I kept hearing your conversation, and it woke me up again. 】
"Another amnesiac." Lu Yuan covered his forehead, "Then what else do you know? How did you learn to speak Chinese?"
[I... I learned it by listening. Isn't it simple? ]
"Where do you want to go? You have to have a goal in life, right?"
This question seemed to have stumped the other party.
[Where should I go? ] The other party seemed confused.
"How did your sea soul grass survive? There is no water in this place, and plants must absorb moisture to grow."
[Oh, this is the thing that helped me survive.]
The other party used vines to show a black object.
Lu Yuan took a closer look and found that it was a biological material called "super absorbent gel", which might be a part of a certain insect.
The material contains bioactive ingredients that can capture water vapor from the air. Even at 30% relative humidity (lower than the humidity in the desert at night), each gram of hydrogel material can absorb about 1.8 grams of water.
So that's how it is. This vine doesn't need much water to begin with, and this little water alone is enough to sustain its life.
[Dear sir, thank you for rescuing me from the dangerous situation. ]
So I want to give some gifts.
"This guy is quite polite."
The vines took out piece of garbage from the conch one by one.
Lu Yuan was filled with joy. Is he so generous? [King's Tooth: The remains of a candidate insect that failed in the competition for the King's Tooth. It is extremely hard and is suspected to be the remains of a Level 4 creature.]
[The remains of the queen insect: the outer shell shed after the queen insect evolves, which may contain some idealistic elements, and can deter nearby insects. (Inferior grade, extraordinary item)]
“This seems like a good thing.”
[The venom gland of the ironclad beetle, a dried venom gland, the venom is soluble in organic solvents. If you soak it in oil, you can still extract some venom. ]
There are also all sorts of miscellaneous things on insects, like wings, glands, shells, and so on.
Even the pioneer's eyes couldn't tell what it was.
Lu Yuan was very excited to pick up the trash at first, but later he sat upright and watched Teng Man throwing trash out continuously. He would be frightened for a while every time a piece of trash was thrown out.
Many things are completely useless. Should I accept them? Or not?
The number piled up into a small mountain!
He could see that these things all showed signs of corrosion.
The reason is very simple. The starry sky conch was swallowed into the worm's stomach, and the worm kept eating food, so the conch hid in the worm's stomach and quietly picked up garbage.
You are not qualified as a garbage man. You are picking up all the useless things.
While the old cat was looking at the conch, he was also looking at Lu Yuan, and his head kept twisting from side to side.
"Why are you looking at me?"
"I was wondering if the girl hiding in the conch was your half-sister. I unexpectedly met her as a fellow rubbish collector."
Lu Yuan almost rushed over and strangled it to death.
Finally, after about 7 cubic meters of garbage were thrown away, the vines stopped moving.
He sighed tiredly but cheerfully: [Huh~ I finally cleaned it up, it feels much better~]
[Now I don’t understand why I picked up all this trash. It was really hard to pick it up but not be able to throw it away.]
"Cough cough!" Lu Yuan coughed heavily.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The other person suddenly remembered that he was giving a gift, and quickly let out a soft "ah".
The entire green vine shrank back into the conch, looking extremely embarrassed.
But now he was in a dilemma, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Dear life-saving villain, these are my gifts to you."
"Help, the evil...man? The evil man?!"
【Yes... benefactor. 】
"How dare you give me some garbage that you don't even want?" The old cat started to curse. "I thought you were a man of high moral standards, but you turned out to be so stingy."
"Even the turtle is much more generous than you. It gave away a piece of its shell for no reason, but you gave away garbage."
The immortal giant turtle thought the old cat was exaggerating. The turtle raised its head proudly, with a look of arrogance on its face: "Stingy guy, drink cold water."
Then he actually spit out a piece of turtle shell from his mouth and gave it to the old cat.
This is the residue that fell off after it turned into stone. It can also be considered as material for carving, but the quality is slightly worse.
The old cat happily accepted it, turned its head and meowed quietly.
Brothers should settle accounts clearly, and friends also have personal property, so Lu Yuan will not meddle in this.
[I'm sorry, I'm too obsessed with cleaning up the trash. I'm a single-minded person like that.]
[I’ll give you this…]
A piece of emerald green branch was thrown out by the vines.
[The branches of the poppy tree still have a very small amount of vitality, and it is suspected to be a part of the [monster]. ]
This is a really good thing, maybe it can be grafted onto the Tree of Life! Lu Yuan tried it and suddenly realized that the vitality of this branch was too weak. It would take a long time to nourish it before it could be forcibly restored... As for its specific function, it is still unknown.
"This little gift is really nice. Do you have any more?"
[I can't lift it. Give me a rope. ]
Lu Yuan pulled the rope and pulled out a large piece of wood, 30 centimeters in diameter, about 2 meters long, and nearly 300 kilograms! [Part of the heartwood of the poppy tree, excellent forging material and carving material. (Legendary Natural Wonder)]
[The spiritual energy in this section of the tree's heart is a bit complicated. It may be difficult to use it perfectly. ]
Legendary?!
Lu Yuan rubbed his hands and felt his heart beating uncontrollably.
This conch seems to be a wealthy person...
However, he did not take the thing away directly.
After all, you won't need it for the time being, and snatching it away directly will really affect your favorability.
He asked the last question with great interest: "What other treasures do you have? Show them to me."
"I'm not stealing yours, I'm just looking at it!"
The other party was silent for a long time: [There is nothing good to buy... Oh, there is one thing I can't hold. Put your head in and you can see it. ]
"Brother, this is a huge conspiracy!"
"As long as you put your head in there, you will be possessed by another body!" the Immortal Giant Turtle shouted loudly.
It feels that it has become smarter and has made progress.
[Possessing a body... Even if I have the ability, I have no interest in possessing a worthless and stupid turtle. Being a turtle is not ugly, but it is not within my consideration. ]
Conch may have wanted to talk trash, but in the end he didn't go against his conscience and started talking nonsense.
The turtle was not afraid of being possessed and walked up with a swagger.
But the turtle did not have a good relationship with this new friend.
The conch was afraid that the turtle would eat it, but it was unwilling to open the lid.
Finally, Lu Yuan came up with a compromise. He summoned the Tree of Life and slowly extended a vine of the Tree of Life into it.
After cleaning up the garbage, the interior of the conch was very spacious, the size of a small room.
Apart from the heart of the poppy tree, some small "sea soul grass", and the light blue soul gem, there was almost nothing.
Then he saw a brilliant green lurking in a corner, emitting a soft light.
[The spirit of a demon concentrates most of the life essence of a demon and contains a huge amount of idealistic energy. ]
[It is an excellent material for forging and carving. ]
[As time goes by, even though the energy in the spirit has been mostly consumed, it still reaches the epic level. (Epic Level·Natural Wonder)]
This time he was really shocked.
The Tree of Life had a strong desire, as if eating this ball of green light would bring great benefits! Epic-level extraordinary items are the highest quality Lu Yuan has seen so far! One level higher than the legendary level.
This group of demon spirits was thus stored in a conch, within easy reach...
It is obvious that this guy didn't pick them up. With so many bugs, how could he be so lucky?
It was put there by a demon or some civilization...
Or maybe, this guy is the offspring of a demon? ! Lu Yuan was a little skeptical about his life, and knocked on the wall of the conch, making a "dong dong dong" sound.
The answer to this question may be buried in the dust of history.
After finding the city in the sky, maybe we can find the answer, or maybe not.
Lu Yuan was silent for a while and did not rob the "demon's spirit".
On the one hand, it was eaten by the Tree of Life, which was a waste.
The corpses of those strange creatures have not been eaten yet. Even though the "Demon's Essence" is an "epic" extraordinary item, it is impossible for the Tree of Life to ascend to heaven overnight.
On the other hand, this newcomer, without a physical body, seemed to rely on the demon's spirit to replenish his soul energy.
He might kill this "alien" by rashly robbing him.
