Chapter 435 New Mythology and Old Mythology
The cave is located at a depth of about 150,000 meters underground.
There was a flow of magma from the ground, like a tide, surging and making a "splashing" sound.
The stone rock wall vibrated gently, sometimes soft, sometimes contracting.
Lu Yuan closed his eyes and carefully distinguished, and felt an unimaginable surge of power, like a roar like a drum. However, ordinary people could not hear this sound, it was a kind of idealistic fluctuation, with a very low frequency, beating only once an hour.
Boom! Boom! This time he was really shocked. This was not a cave... but the heart of a living creature!
The underground tunnel they just traveled through was actually just a... blood vessel! In other words, the rail train traveled thousands of kilometers along the blood vessel before entering the heart.
"There really is a dead body here..."
"The corpse of an ancient giant monster?" He was genuinely shocked.
"Commander-in-chief, stop being in a daze, we're here!"
Lu Yuan quickly came back to his senses and suppressed his doubts. The underground people might know some information, or maybe they were just living their lives in a daze...
This is not the place to talk. It won’t be too late to discuss it when we return to the base camp.
"Dear guests, we have entered the cave, please get off the car."
Oshima Ko saluted in front of the train door.
Lu Yuan followed the crowd and got off the train.
What comes into view is an extra-large railway station with extensive railway tracks connecting the entire "Dongtian".
It can be seen that the high-speed train technology here is very advanced.
There are also various gear-shaped decorative items, which shows that the gear civilization has had a profound influence on this place.
The air was a little hot, perhaps 40 degrees Celsius, after all, there was red magma below - well, whether it was magma or not was unknown.
At the edge of the "cave", there is a layer of very strange, transparent substance like jelly. They slowly wriggle, causing the volume of the "cave" to slowly expand.
There were even a few "suns" hanging in the sky, as big as fists and very bright, illuminating the entire underground - they were an extraordinary object called "Sun Stone".
Excellent level, quite rare.
As for the leaders of the 12 races of the Underground Alliance, they were already waiting patiently. The honor guards played wonderful musical instruments and welcomed the human diplomatic team with a unique ceremony.
The girl from the Dark Steel Civilization was dancing gracefully. The females of this race were really similar to the Green Girls, except that their skin was a little darker, which was quite in line with the aesthetic standards of humans.
"Hello, human friends!"
"I am the chairman of the alliance, Tiekui. Here, I sincerely welcome you all." The bearded creature in the lead took off his hat and introduced the leaders of these races one by one.
They are the Dark Steel Civilization, the Slant-Eyed People, the Minotaur, the Lizard People, the Snake People, the Cave People... Well, this reminded him of some "dungeon computer games" on Earth.
These ox-headed and horse-faced monsters stared at humans and greeted them with bared teeth.
"Hello, everyone."
"I am the great leader of human civilization, Lu Yuan."
Lu Yuan bowed slightly: "Since the patient is dying, every second is worth cherishing...so there is no need to make the reception ceremony too complicated, just take us directly to the patient."
"If it's cured, it won't be too late for us to celebrate."
"If it can't be cured, please don't blame me."
What he said made sense. The underground alliance hesitated for a moment and agreed with Lu Yuan's suggestion.
So the train started again, carrying everyone and eight mecha puppets to the center of the cave.
Here, there is a very large park, about the size of 10 playgrounds.
The altar in the center is made of white jade. Countless gears form a complex whole. The overall structure is vigorous and majestic, and the gears are arranged in a well-arranged density, giving off a complex and exquisite artistic charm.
Of course, this is not the most important thing.
There is a smaller "cave" below the altar! The ancient insects hid in this small cave.
"The proportion of time spent in the small cave is one percent of that in the outside world. It has been hiding in it and suffering for a long time." Chairman Tie Kui sighed.
"How did it get injured?" Lu Yuan asked.
"It might be... a disaster from the last era. It was already injured before we met it. As for what happened, it has always refused to say."
This is consistent with people's reasoning.
"I'll wake it up right away...but every time it wakes up, it consumes some of its life energy. I'm worried..."
The Underground Alliance always has to prepare for the worst. They are willing to pay for the medical expenses, but the patient's family members don't want to see the patient die on the operating table.
"Mr. Tie Kui, even if we can't cure it, we can still give it some life energy." Lu Yuan patted the "Greedy Demon" beside him, "It's easy to let it live a little longer."
"The name of this robot is 'Greedy Demon'. It is a healing robot that I specially developed. Its level is close to immortal level."
"As long as you continue to provide it with spiritual energy, even if you only have a head left and all other organs are destroyed, it can still keep you alive until your spiritual energy is completely consumed."
Suddenly, an emerald green vine stretched out, accompanied by a rich vitality.
Under the light, even a faint rainbow was formed.
Tie Kui, Oshima Gang and a group of people behind them looked at the ordinary-looking wooden man and were all surprised and suspicious. It is true that you cannot judge a book by its cover.
Almost immortal! And he is called "Greedy Devil"! What does this mean? You know, in the idealistic world, names cannot be chosen randomly.
If the name and function do not match, it will affect the effect of the item to a certain extent!
Greedy Demon God... How greedy is he?! They don't even know if the medical expenses they prepared are enough?
Besides, the name Demon God... sounds quite resonant...
"We naturally believe in your skills...Haha, you can create a legendary item with low-quality insect shells...This one you carefully crafted is even more powerful." Chairman Tie Kui rubbed his hands and said a few polite words, "As for the medical expenses, we plan to sell this legendary equipment."
"Whether it works or not, this is the only thing we can sell."
The subtext of this sentence is: This is all the medical expenses, and we really can’t afford any more.
Lu Yuan also understood the other party's difficulties. He turned around and saw a dark golden axe.
Well, it seems that the master craftsman Lu Lun can only make axes.
The quality of this legendary sword is similar to that of the "Earth-Splitting Axe", with approximately 2300 spiritual charms, which makes it a slightly lower-middle level sword among the legendary swords.
However, this time, Lu Lun and a dozen other craftsmen did not return underground.
Communication between craftsmen requires a lot of time, and a short period of half a year is obviously not enough. In addition, the social atmosphere in Green City is quite good, and these craftsmen are quite happy and reluctant to leave. Therefore, the Underground Alliance decided to let them continue their studies for a while, learn more things, and not just make axes all day long. It would be useless if a war really broke out.
"Brother Lu, if you like this axe, just take it! Just do our best. Even if we kill you, we won't commit medical blackmail. Believe in our credit... Anyway, we, the Minotaur clan, will not go to war with humans." The Minotaur shouted from the side.
Tie Kui's body couldn't help but tremble, and he subconsciously wanted to scold the cow.
Then he reacted and held back his breath: "Damn it, I should have put a gag on the minotaur earlier."
Lu Yuan was bragging to Lao Niu: "Chief Niu, you are putting a lot of pressure on us when you say that... We humans love peace and value credibility. When did we ever say we would start a war?"
"Don't be scared to death when you see the ancient insects later! My alliance is really not weak!" said the Tauren proudly.
"Okay, okay, then we can look forward to it..."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Several soldiers walked up to the altar and manipulated a bunch of gears.
Immediately afterwards, countless gears began to rotate, a rumbling sound was heard, and the entire ground began to vibrate slightly.
After a few minutes, part of the ground collapsed, revealing a large pit.
A rotten smell came towards them, and all the underground people felt a "click" in their hearts. The smell was stronger than before, which meant that the ancient insect was not in good condition. Even the cow that had been talking nonsense was stunned.
"Everyone stand back, we are going to pull the ancient insect out."
The rumbling sound became louder and louder, and a huge creature completely black with a faint glow was lifted up from the small cave.
Even if people have psychological expectations in their hearts, when they see the real thing, their scalp still tingles...
What is this thing? A... real small mountain! It is really a huge creature comparable to a green mountain. It may be 1.4 kilometers long and 600 to 700 meters high. It may weigh tens of millions of tons, or even hundreds of millions of tons.
This tonnage alone is many times larger than the poppy tree and the painted skin! A...giant beetle! It is shaped like a rhinoceros beetle, with a black horn weighing millions of tons on its head, shining and majestic.
"Is this a species left over from ancient times?"
Lu Yuan couldn't help but hold his breath and looked at it carefully, while at the same time instructing his companions: "Everyone, don't use any superpowers to avoid infection with the blight."
Half of its body was as dry as wood and completely shriveled up, like a mummy whose water had evaporated.
The other half of the body was barely healthy, but only barely...
Countless black air lingered around its body, even entangled its soul.
Even opening your eyes or moving a little requires tremendous effort.
[Are you... a myth from the Ninth Era? ]
Suddenly, a voice sounded from the bottom of Lu Yuan's heart, vicissitudes and old, "I am an ancient insect. An ancient insect, the original myth of the strange [insect], and I am at the same level as you."
Lu Yuan's pupils couldn't help but dilate, and he became a little alert. "The Greedy Demon" was his trump card, but it was seen through in an instant.
"Hello, Gu Chong."
[It's still a little weak... Such a small unit probably can't even beat half a ghost. Are you here to cure me? ] The other party sighed faintly and said in a critical tone.
[The myths of later generations are getting weaker and weaker... What year of the Ninth Era is it now? ]
To be honest, Lu Yuan was a little dissatisfied when he was directly called "a little weak".
He didn't believe in his heart that the ancient insect could see through it all at a glance.
Even the extremely cunning mirror [demon] couldn't see through the "Greedy Demon". Could this huge insect be smarter than the mirror [demon]? Absolutely impossible! However, Lu Yuan was no longer an impulsive young man, and he was too lazy to argue with this poor insect: "Senior, let's not talk about these things first. How long can you hold on? My mythical puppet is specially used for treatment. It doesn't matter if its combat power is a little weak."
"I need to know how strong your vitality is and whether you can be cured."
[I may be able to hold on for a few more years...] Gu Chong said in a vicissitudes of life tone, [I have guarded this land diligently, I don't know how many years I have guarded it, but unfortunately no one knows my fame, and no one knows my difficulties.]
[I can only die slowly in the misery of desolation...]
[Even my descendants from the outside world have all betrayed me. ]
[I... only have a few years to live. ]
Lu Yuan said sympathetically, "I'm sorry, patient, please stay calm. If you only have a few years left and it really cannot be cured, do you have any last words? I can pass them on."
This is the truth. For such a huge creature, even if the Greedy Demon God madly transports life energy, how much energy will it take? A legendary axe with more than 2,000 spiritual charms is not enough to cover the medical expenses!
You can't do a business that loses money...
The atmosphere was somewhat silent.
Gu Chong seemed to be choked by him, and said faintly: [New Myth, are you planning to leave now? ]
"Old senior, I am the Greedy Demon God. I can be greedy, but I cannot cheat. With your limited vitality, there is no need for treatment. Stay in a good mood and enjoy the days ahead." Lu Yuan said sincerely, "The Underground Alliance can also save some money. We don't want that axe anymore."
"Tell me your last words."
As a result, he was stopped by Gu Chong again: [How can you be so disrespectful to the elderly and the young? Can you really cure me? ]
Lu Yuan felt that there was something wrong with this guy: "What's the point of me lying to you? The Underground Alliance gave me medical expenses! If I can't even cure the injuries of a [ghost], how can I still be called a legend?"
"But given your condition, there's really nothing I can do. Please tell me your last words so I can report back."
He turned around, called everyone, and wanted to leave.
Unexpectedly, the ancient insect changed its tone: [Wait a minute, don't leave. Grit your teeth, you can still hold on for hundreds of years, no, thousands of years... Is this vitality enough? ]
Lu Yuan was shocked in his heart, but his face was quite calm: "It seems not enough... Goodbye."
[Wait! I can still live for another 10,000 years if I grit my teeth! New Myth, how can you just abandon me? ]
Lu Yuan was speechless. It turned out that you were pretending to be in such a dying state.
These old bastards are all better at pretending to be dead than the other. No wonder they are still alive today.
