Chapter 182 The first day in the Sky City, it’s so good
Next, the friends took turns teaching the new Parlu "chicken snake", and the cries of "clucking" kept coming.
Lu Yuan found a cellar between several stones and got in.
In the narrow square room, the sun penetrated the cracks in the door for the first time in a long time, and the dust shone brightly.
As soon as he entered, he was slightly startled.
A dry mummy lay peacefully on the bed, tilting its head and looking at him with empty eyes.
Lu Yuan swallowed, held his breath, and waited for several seconds.
“I found the treasure of the museum so quickly!”
He took a stick and poked it carefully, but the other party didn't move or pretend to be dead.
After studying the mummy carefully, I found that it looked very much like a human being.
He is about 1.7 meters tall, has blue hair, smooth skin and no hair, and slightly pointed ears. He looks a bit like an elf in a fantasy novel.
She was dressed in gorgeous silk and had gold bracelets on her wrists.
Even though she is just a mummy, she actually looks like a beautiful woman...
This appearance is so much like a human that Lu Yuan can't help but feel doubtful...
He saw another picture on the wall, which was a family portrait of an unknown civilization.
There were five people in total. It was hazy and hard to see clearly.
They were smiling at him.
There is a unique beauty of time.
"A race that looks similar to humans."
This mysterious phenomenon of convergent evolution can only be attributed to the fact that everyone has a common ancestor.
Just like there are wolves on the earth, there are also wolves in Pangea.
It is said that the common ancestor of human beings is an ancient ape named "Lucy", who lived about 3.2 million years ago - which seems very magical.
Just like "Adam and Eve" in religious legends, human beings actually have a common ancestor.
"Isn't it nice to look like a human?" The old cat jumped in from the cellar entrance and said thoughtfully, "It fits your aesthetic concept. Maybe there is no reproductive isolation."
"Even if I'm hungry, I can't be so perverted..."
Lu Yuan said angrily: "This is a mummy that has been dead for ten thousand years. Are you crazy?"
…
This place seemed to be a small bedroom. After searching for a long time, except for some bottles and jars, I found no valid information.
Lu Yuan didn't want to transport the mummy rashly. If its skin was filled with bugs, the scene would be terrifying...
I could only walk to the surface. After spending some time, I found another room and got in.
It's quite refreshing and dry here, and there aren't any living things.
Maybe it was a large sacrificial hall?
There are lighting tools installed on the ceiling, but there is no energy and cannot be lit.
The walls are carved with exquisite but vague murals: On a certain magical day, a graceful priest danced a mysterious dance.
They put palm branches on their chests and used their beautiful tambourines to interpret their beliefs.
In a distant place, where the earth meets the sky, there is a big tree shining brightly. The white doves carry back the graceful branches from there, allowing the city to rise from the ground and all things to be happy.
Lu Yuan thought of the "demon" that escaped, that is, the big tree on the mural. I don't know what happened, causing this powerful civilization to fall, and even the "demon" escaped.
"Miss Conch, do you have any memories of this place?"
The conch looked at the mural curiously.
A long time passed.
【I don’t know, I instinctively don’t like this city very much.】
【But I have no memory of this.】
She said gloomily: "But if you like it, it's okay. I will get used to it. It's better than the desert outside."
"Do you... want to be resurrected?" Lu Yuan tried to ask.
He has accumulated 5 fruits of life.
After eating the corpses of so many visions, the Tree of Life has finally grown a little.
【I don’t want to be resurrected...Isn’t it good to be like this now?】
[Furthermore, Mr. Lu, my divine attributes are too high. The fruit of life you are currently cultivating may not be able to help me reshape my body. 】
[I may not even be an intelligent life here...]
Miss Conch, who didn't know her identity or origin, was a little nervous.
She sighed and said quietly: "What if... I am a tank?"
Lu Yuan almost spit out nosebleeds: "Who taught you these words?!"
【Master Turtle, it said it was a heavy tank.】
【Maybe I am a turtle too?】
When Mr. Turtle heard them chatting, he blew out his breath: "Isn't the tank bad? Isn't the turtle bad?"
[What if I am a worm?] She gave up on herself.
"If you were a bug, people would vote you out."
The old cat also stretched out its furry paws: "You may be the rat king."
[It's so evil... I actually had expectations for you scum, I'm really stupid.] She was in a bad mood, sulking there, [I'm just a worm! I'm the rat king!]
Lu Yuan had to give a piece of shiny gold and a picked-up sky sapphire to coax this little garbage man who loved to pick up garbage.
"Ahem, friends, please use this room as a temporary base for now. Let's rest here for now. Let me know if you need anything."
"I'll go out and take a walk around to find a more suitable room for you. Then I can fully respect your privacy."
He took the evil, charming and wild wolf and wandered around the surrounding area.
The old wolf looked very excited, his big tail wagging like an electric fan.
It was actually here, smelling the scent of the same kind, and its heart, which had been dull for a long time, was about to move.
"There are wolves in this place?!" Lu Yuan was disgusted and pinched his nose.
To be honest, this oasis is actually not small. The upper and lower floors cover almost 2,000 square kilometers in total.
It is almost the size of a county-level city.
It's not surprising that wolves exist here.
"Then go ahead, don't die, and bring back some new pallu." Lu Yuan patted its butt.
This guy crossed his legs, peed, made a mark here, and disappeared into the ruins.
It was a smart, battle-hardened old creature, so Lu Yuan actually had nothing to worry about.
He groped alone.
Not long after, I found something familiar...the carvings on the wall!
But these things were so worn that even with Lu Yuan's current carving skills, he couldn't see clearly what they were.
"Maybe it's the 'Solid' glyph... the most basic thing."
Then, he found another red gemstone, which shone brightly in the sun.
[The man-made crystal stone, the spiritual energy in it, can assist in the cultivation of extraordinary fire, now damaged. (Inferior quality, man-made wonder)]
"This thing seems a bit awesome..."
An extraordinary and miraculous object that can penetrate deep into the folk and is specially used for spiritual practice subtly proves the power and wealth of this civilization.
It feels so good, there are treasures everywhere and trash everywhere!
His "explorer's eyes" are like a vicious dog smelling fresh liver, beating and shining brightly.
There are countless pieces of gold, silver, and metal debris.
Even though most of the things exposed on the surface are incomplete, there are still many buildings in a city, and the materials stored inside are considered to be "worth picking up".
In three hours, I picked up a scrapped bookcase with more than 20 books on it. The papers were stuck together. I wonder if it is possible to repair it...
I picked up a pair of shoes and a rope woven from some kind of branches and straw sandals.
Found sewer centipedes, sewer snails and other bugs, as well as 14 antelopes, armadillos, pheasants, birds and other creatures - Lu Yuanman liked seeing these wild animals, which means that there is a fairly stable ecosystem here.
Live long term.
I picked up a long bow, but the bowstring was completely broken - this weapon perfectly matched Lu Yuan's imagination of "elves".
I picked up an item similar to a bra...um...gold?
Picked up...a dozen pottery containers.
I also picked up several mummies, can they be considered a type of treasure?
After searching several rooms in succession, Lu Yuan took a deep breath.
“There’s nothing to pick up in civilian housing.”
"If you want to pick it up, you have to pick something big!"
It was getting late, and Lu Yuan was a little tired, so he returned to the room.
He handed these books to Miss Conch, took out a blanket, and lay on it to rest.
It's nice to have a shelter from the wind and rain.
There was a feeling of exhaustion in my heart.
Human happiness indeed comes from contrast.
At this moment, no big goals have been accomplished.
Just lying down comfortably with a fluffy blanket actually gave me a sincere feeling of happiness.
“It’s a great first day in Sky City.”
[I can understand the text above...] Conch said in a clear voice.
"Well, you say."
[This is actually a whole series of novels called I Picked Up Trash in Pangea, which seems very interesting.]
【Do you want me to read it out to you?】
"No, please check first to see if there is any other valid information. I have something else to do..." Lu Yuan asked the Tree of Life to spit out a small vine with a scarlet eyeball on it.
Those eyeballs were given to him by "Tado" from Rize, and he has been nourishing them with the Tree of Life.
It comes with telepathic abilities.
"Hey~Tador! Tador, can you hear me?" Lu Yuan grinned and called excitedly.
After about half an hour, there was an extremely slow response and some strange syllables.
Lu Yuan slapped his head. The time ratio between the safe zone and Pangea was different, and communication became difficult again.
So he prolonged the syllables: "We have arrived at our destination!"
It was a sign of peace.
After a long time, Tudor's slow response came from the telepathy: "Four--one!"
What four?
"Wake up~!"
Lu Yuan thought about it for a while and then suddenly realized it.
Four comrades who once fought side by side woke up from coma. (Comrades who fought against [monster].)
Yes, it has been three years since he left, and the time he spent in the safe zone was...a full 10 days.
Four more comrades woke up. He was still very happy and sincerely blessed them.
The other party said again: "Cooperation... solidity... carving... literature!"
This sentence may mean that humans and Rize people have strengthened their cooperation, and some of the simplest glyphs have been reproduced?
Then he said again: "It's difficult!"
When talking about this topic, Lu Yuanke has something to say. Not only can he reproduce the glyphs, he can also create his own!
For example, the most common and simple carving of "Sturdiness" is carved on the wall and on the shield. The shape and material have to be slightly changed to adapt to different substrates.
Human beings, Rize people, may only follow formulas step by step.
And he, Lao Lu, had an epiphany and was able to adapt to changes on his own.
This is the difference between entering the house and first peeking over the threshold.
"Conch, have you mastered the Glyph of Solidity? You have been overtaken by humans."
The smart conch with 33.9 god points snorted.
She learns slowly.
Carving is too difficult.
"A thousand years ahead of mankind!" Lu Yuan thought proudly.
It’s just that it’s obvious that he can’t convey such a difficult language. He originally wanted to give some guidance, but now he can only say: “I—too—can!”
The other party said: "Come on... come on!"
"The desert is huge."
“A lot of rubbish.”
“But it’s cool!”
The two of them just chatted for half the night.
Chatting with comrades feels good and gives a sense of accomplishment...and this information will obviously be passed to the human rear.
Chatting across time zones always has some drawbacks.
Lu Yuan felt like he was back in the 2G era, using the Internet speed of a few KB to download damn Blu-ray movies.
After making the call.
He was really tired, so he said goodbye, lay down on the blanket and closed his eyes.
I fell into a deep, deep sleep for the first time in a long time.
…
Tick, tick.
There were cold water drops falling from the ceiling onto Lu Yuan's face.
The night is dark and dark, and it seems like the darkness before dawn.
Lu Yuan shook his head, feeling that he had not yet woken up and was hazy.
He muttered something and moved the blanket.
The people of Dadong Kingdom always have a special obsession. No matter how high the temperature is or how strong they are, they always have to find something to cover their belly.
The blanket seems a bit small.
He was the only one in the spacious room, and there was a brown carpet.
There was a faint moonlight outside the window, with a faint red color.
outside the door.
A figure stood.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, the black shadow looked a little slanted.
"Who?" Lu Yuan asked warily.
There was silence all around, and the silhouettes of people continued to grow longer.
He almost fell on top of him.
Just when Lu Yuan was about to get up, another pleasant bell sounded.
"Dingle bell, dinged bell!"
This seems to be the most moving sound in the world. Just hearing it once makes even the soul feel a sense of clarity.
That figure turned out to be a beautiful girl.
She jumped in from the door.
【Sir, sir, why are you still sleeping here?】
[Don’t you know that the ascension ceremony is about to begin? 】
This girl is really pretty.
She has an oval face, delicate and beautiful facial features, fair skin, and a round face that looks quite sweet. She is wearing a green silk skirt, which gives her a unique exotic style.
Chapter completed!
