Chapter 205 Decide Your Own Destiny
"Conch, open the door!"
After calling out several times, Miss Conch, who was always talkative, did not respond at all.
Even if she was crying secretly, theoretically she should have responded. After all, she was a very polite person, so it was impossible for her to not react at all...
Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
He quickly ran to the Starry Sky Conch and tried to force open the lid.
It’s a pity that it is extremely difficult to open this thing from the outside.
He tried his best, veins popped on his forehead, but he still couldn't get it open.
Unless you use violence and smash it directly, but that might damage the soul gem of the conch.
"Fuck you, every one of them is a hassle."
"Is it so difficult to respond?"
Lu Yuan suddenly had an idea.
He tried to put the starry sky conch into the storage space.
Things with "self-awareness" cannot be stuffed into storage space.
But this time, he stuffed the big shell in easily...
This means that Miss Sazae's soul has indeed disappeared.
Lu Yuan's pupils dilated and he clenched his fists.
"She was taken away by that illusion, damn... when did it happen?"
"She...voluntarily?!"
A heart sank to the bottom of the sea.
Yes, most likely voluntarily.
Those crazy obsessions just want to continue the "Ascension Ceremony". As long as the conch is willing to go over, there is no need to continue attacking others.
After Lu Yuan thought this through, he turned around silently and came to the Tree of Life, feeling nameless anger in his heart.
In the yellow-brown sandstorm, the emerald green tree stands alone, and the vicissitudes of the city become more and more vicissitudes in the world.
In his mind, he recalled the conch's low cry.
And her father's final words: [Determine your own destiny and enjoy the freedom to be yourself, this is what our souls ultimately rest on. ]
"Is this the fate you decided?"
"To die and save us all?"
"You're such an idiot, damn it!"
The world is big and full of helplessness.
Even Lu Yuan, unable to return home, had no choice but to hang out with the villagers here...
The sandstorm got bigger at this moment, and the coarse sand blew on the face like sharp blades, bringing biting pain.
It really hurts.
Lu Yuan looked into the distance again.
The "Ascension Ceremony" is no longer possible.
As it grows older, Conch's ability to "do what it wants" has long since declined from its peak.
All that was left of the poppy tree was a patch of roots.
Only a few leftovers of the "spirit" were left.
Only some residual obsessions remain in the "Green Paradise".
Everything is no longer what it used to be.
Not only would she die, but she would die in excruciating pain—her soul would be distorted and transformed into a hideous monster.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan's rage grew stronger.
I can't stand it! ! "Did I ask you to save us? Do I need you to save us?"
Listening to the violent wind, Lu Yuan realized that he had no choice and silently put the Tree of Life back into his mind.
He realized that his mentality was gradually changing and turning into those tranquil sand dunes.
He made up his mind.
If there are enemies, kill them and rescue the people.
If there are no enemies and Conch volunteered, then scold her. No one wants to owe you a favor, so don't fucking think of sacrificing yourself!
Your father made you live a happy life, and this is how you repay him? Lu Yuan had a cold expression, sighed softly, and prepared his weapons for battle.
All the hot weapons are in the storage space. They were maintained a few days ago and should be usable.
Cold weapons, ready to use at any time.
"There are a million monsters in the middle of the city, and it's good to defeat ten thousand of them."
"But if you rescue the conch, what will happen to the Sandi tribe? Will you let them all die?"
The old cat jumped onto Lu Yuan's shoulder very calmly, just like in countless previous battles.
"I'll cut down the roots of the poppy tree. That'll be the best of both worlds." Lu Yuan said in a firm voice.
Although the immortal giant turtle didn't understand what happened, when he heard that the conch was captured, he was furious and yelled something: "That's my brother's sister."
Lu Yuan put on his best equipment and ran at high speed towards the distance.
It was a rare cloudy day in the desert. A few fish-scale-like clouds blocked the sun, bringing a rare coolness to the vast land.
"Comrade, do you hear me? Comrade!" While running, Lu Yuan picked up the eyeball and initiated telepathy.
"Hear—see—" A very slow voice came from the other side.
"I'm going to take part in a dangerous battle. If I don't call you for a long time, it means I've already lost and there's no need to worry about me."
"Pangu Continent is inherently risky, anything can happen."
"Survival and death, I have already prepared myself mentally."
Lu Yuan ignored the other party's slow inquiry and hung up the phone.
The closer he got to a life-and-death crisis, the clearer his mind became.
He moved faster and faster, running wildly through the ruins.
The wind and sand blew on the armor, making a "ding-dang-dang" sound.
He would definitely not be a match for the millions of flower buds in the city center, even with cannons.
So he found a manhole cover and crawled in. It was a little damp inside and some crustaceans were crawling around in the sewer.
According to the people of Sarawak, these insects are bred by a supernatural being called "Mother Worm". These insects are highly poisonous and even pollute the water source of the sewer.
In the dark environment, Lu Yuan did not slow down, but just moved forward in a certain direction along the sewer.
He always kept in mind the map drawn by the Sarawak people.
He saw the huge queen insect.
A fat, long insect covered with tentacles, like a queen termite, with a total body length of more than ten meters, occupied the corner of the mushroom.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
A pair of ferocious compound eyes stared at them, and a sharp roar came from its mouth.
"Get out of here!"
Lu Yuan’s donkey head mask glowed with a scarlet light.
He raised the black iron sword in his hand, bent his right leg and took a bow step, making a preparatory movement for a chop - he would really launch an attack in the next second, and in the form of teleportation, bursting out with all his strength, to kill this guy as quickly as possible.
The old cat also spit out the machine gun in his mouth, his eyes cold.
Perhaps frightened by the terrifying murderous aura of this group of people, the queen insect cried twice and actually retreated.
This insect may have evolved subtle intelligence and did not cause trouble for this group of almost crazy travelers.
Or maybe, its soul has just returned to its place and it is a little weak.
It ran away.
"You're lucky!"
"Splash, splash," they waded through the winding sewer.
A while passed.
Lu Yuan saw a jade pendant covered with algae on the floor. On it was a kind-looking human-shaped statue, which might be a god believed in by the Green Civilization.
It was washed down the drain for a long, long time.
"Please protect me, God whose name you don't know. I am going to save the last people of your civilization."
"If she dies, the Green Civilization will truly perish."
"If she survives, she may be able to reproduce."
The jade pendant couldn't speak, it just remained silent.
It was hung in front of Lu Yuan's chest, swaying and colliding with the armor, just as it had witnessed the final demise of civilization thousands of years ago. It was always silent.
Finally, Lu Yuan saw the flower buds in the sewer.
Bright and attractive.
The constant beating of the flower buds resonated with his heart, as if trying to pull his soul out alive. The strange hallucination appeared in Lu Yuan's mind again.
Fortunately, there are no living creatures among these buds.
They live in sewers. As the strong ones of green civilization, it is impossible for them to choose flower buds in sewers as their shelter.
These things should have been reproduced later.
"Light curtain!" Lu Yuan whispered in his heart.
A layer of dark red light appeared on the surface of the skin.
The defensive performance of the fourth-level eternal fire seed was enough to resist the violent resonance force.
He gritted his teeth and pushed aside a few flower buds, trying not to hurt them.
"Brother, if a fight really breaks out, let Master Turtle be the meat shield."
"You saved people, just run away." The immortal giant turtle exhaled heavily from his nose, and bloodshot eyes appeared. "Master Turtle will not die, at most he will just sleep."
"I understand, thanks brother."
Lu Yuan nodded, poked open the manhole cover above his head, and stuck his head out.
There were wriggling flower buds everywhere, and the density of the enemies reached a level that made one's scalp numb. Countless flower buds were resonating back and forth, and Lu Yuan once again heard the mysterious voice of "The Ascension Ceremony is about to begin."
If no one stops it this time, it’s really going to start!
His eyes widened.
I saw the huge poppy tree hundreds of meters away! In the gray mist, only a wooden stake was left of the poppy tree, but it still looked so magnificent, emitting a terrifying aura that made people tremble.
Its original trunk had been torn apart by itself, and the injured part had been tanned reddish-brown by the sun over the past thousands of years.
But even if the upper body disappeared, the remaining wooden stake was still over a hundred meters high and maintained extremely vigorous vitality.
Countless branches forked out, blocking the sky.
Those millions of flower buds are extensions of that giant creature.
Compared with the one in the illusion, the poppy tree looks more ferocious and less elegant.
The overwhelming forked branches made Lu Yuan feel a little scared. All the properties of the tree could not be discerned. He could only see a name - [Poppy Tree·Demon].
He had no idea how to fight this behemoth.
All attacks are just tickling. Even a few nuclear bombs may not be able to destroy this unimaginable super life.
Fortunately, his mission was just to rescue Miss Conch. Killing the horrible monster from the previous era was simply an impossible task.
