Just like that, after some chaos, the Shali clan was completely dispersed.
Some mobs fled back to their respective villages, or fled to the city in the sky, relying on scavenging and looting to survive.
The territory of the Shali clan has turned into a mess.
Most of the men, women, and children stayed in "Xiasha Village" and accepted the jurisdiction of Lao Mao.
Lu Yuan is naturally not idle here. Even if he can't move, he can still fabricate some "clones" to help find the bodies of extraordinary creatures - in fact, as long as the clones don't leave the Tree of Life too far, they can still come back to Yun.
As long as it can be used multiple times, the cost is not high.
Each corpse of an extraordinary creature weighs several tons, and its meat has high energy, which can effectively alleviate the food crisis.
The principle of "whoever has breasts is a mother" is common to every civilization.
Gradually, Lu Yuan's authority penetrated into the hearts of many disaster victims.
This is a very precious opportunity. The cohesion of people's hearts is itself a very difficult thing.
Only disaster can reveal a person's true heart.
And Lao Mao also selected some people with relatively good morals and fairly good abilities.
If the culture is lower, there will be no problem. Morality is more important.
"Humanity's 18th civilization..." it murmured to itself.
…
…
…
Just as the Shali clan was rebuilding, another change occurred in another corner of the desert!
Golden sand dunes, rolling heat waves, almost extinct life.
Near the huge tree remains, there are only a bunch of insects fighting fiercely and constantly evolving!
This step may have been repeated for thousands of years.
In the heart of the uppermost tree, there is a golden tumor that is constantly swelling and shrinking, making a roaring sound like thunder.
It is the mother insect of the insect tide!
The most core link in the [worm] disaster.
He is also the most powerful one among the insects.
"puff!"
On this day, with a long roar, the sarcoma suddenly burst open.
Golden juice splashes onto the dry desert.
A humanoid creature slowly emerged from the sarcoma. It was three meters long and had metallic-spotted wings behind its back.
Compared with other bugs, the female bug is not that big and not that ferocious. Instead, it has a strange and soft beauty similar to the Green Man.
The moment it appeared, all insects surrendered.
Those insects that were fighting, being disemboweled, or resting were all crawling in the sand dunes, not daring to move.
There is no sound at all!
The female insect seemed to have its own will and thinking, and did not care about these insects.
It opened its huge mouth and began to eat the tumor where it was born.
After eating, I wiped the juice from my mouth gracefully.
Its wings vibrated regularly, as if calling for something.
Soon, a group of insects with huge air bags emerged from the ground.
They are huge, each one has a diameter of several hundred meters, like an aircraft carrier!
The air bag is like a hot air balloon. In just a few hours, it expanded to a diameter of several hundred meters and rose from the ground!
The female worm let out a sharp cry, and the most powerful worms boarded the hot-air balloon-like spacecraft and headed into the distance.
The remaining hot air balloon seemed to have a very clear organization. It used a rope like spider silk to hang up the remaining remains of the poppy tree and left with the mother insect.
A large wave of bugs on the ground flapped their wings in unison and rushed towards the mother bug. The endless number formed a black whirlwind.
Those that cannot fly are also crawling quickly on the ground.
The [Insect] disaster officially begins at this moment!
Their first stop is the majestic...City in the Sky!
…
…
At this moment, Lu Yuan was bragging and chatting with Miss Conch.
The huge soul power in the poppy tree has been completely drained by him!
But the strange thing is that the "Ascension Ceremony" is not over yet...
It's like a bug is stuck, it's stuck there.
If the conch is taken out, the poppy trees will riot.
Faced with this situation, Lu Yuan still couldn't think of a good way and could only wait for the time being. After all, the poppy tree is also a life. It has been doing useless work and will fall into a state of exhaustion sooner or later.
It's not like I'm completely idle. I continue to practice Eternal Fire, study mathematics, learn glyphs, etc. My days are pretty much the same as usual.
Oh, by the way, there is one more task now.
Fabricating a "doppelgänger" to fetch water for the Shali people and protect them from robbers - those robbers are really annoying. They run away when they see Lu Yuan, which has become the biggest problem.
Just like that, it was the sixth month in the blink of an eye.
"Actually... I don't want to be a civilized leader."
"But there is no way..."
"Am I considered a prince now?"
Lu Yuan's tone was lazy.
The little flower flashed for a moment, not knowing what to express.
"I'm just a salty fish. If I return to human civilization, I'll just lie down and be done with it."
"Well, the king sounds too old. It would be nice to be a prince."
The little flower flashed again.
"What kind of political system should be implemented? They don't have much education... they can't understand things that are too complicated."
"Let me state in advance that I have no interest in dictatorship..."
"Because there are many dangers in traveling in Pangu Continent, and I don't want to bear all the responsibility on myself."
Lu Yuan thought of the four major natural disasters. It was impossible for one person to protect everything.
The collective strength must be brought into play.
However, when he thought of those uneducated villagers... he couldn't help but feel dejected.
Conch has been listening silently.
She didn't have any special ideas, she just listened and shouted a few words "Prince Lu".
Today, Conch has slowly accepted his identity.
She is indeed not a sinner of civilization.
Her parents are not sinners either.
Even, from a certain angle, is she really the former princess of the green civilization? (Of course, Lu Yuan has been deceiving her.)
This kind of life is pretty good now. I study knowledge every day and chat with Lu Yuan for a while.
Although it is a bit monotonous and boring, it is still passable... She has a character with little desire, so it is good to have someone to accompany her.
Just thinking about it, suddenly the sky changed color, a black cloud blocked the sun in the sky, and the earth was covered in shadow.
A strong murderous intention is coming!
"Fuck!"
When Lu Yuan saw the dark clouds, he couldn't help but cursed himself as "poisonous milk".
Speaking of natural disasters, natural disasters are here?!
…
…
It is 30 kilometers away from Sky City.
Many farmers are working hard.
Only by experiencing despair can we know the value of hope.
The crisis of genocide has always lingered in the hearts of every Sari people. In less than six years, from the original 20 villages with a population of 70,000, the number of casualties to 10,000, and only the last village!
The mortality rate is over 85%!
What a pain!
Fortunately, in the past six months, the Sky City has calmed down, and there has been no further riot in the poppy tree.
Human beings have strong adaptability. No matter what happens, the living people must live well.
Under Lao Mao's explanation, everyone knew that it was "Elder Lu" and Ms. Conch who temporarily appeased the monster in the center of the city.
They were naturally grateful and spent half a year safely despite the anxiety...
There haven't been many deaths in the past six months.
Hope is slowly returning to people's hearts.
In addition to farming, there is also an additional task, learning cultural classes!
Laomao doesn't require them to learn very advanced things, but no matter what, they still have to graduate from elementary school, right?
At this moment, several soldiers standing guard at the village gate suddenly cheered.
"It's raining! It's going to rain!"
"It's raining!"
"Elder Cat, what is this?!"
The old cat jumped on the roof of the roof, and the lenses in its pupils adjusted their focus.
Then its expression changed drastically: "Quick! Ring the big bell! Quick!"
What kind of dark cloud is here?
But...worms!!
A swarm of bugs in unimaginable numbers!
The old cat quickly thought of the swarm of insects he had seen in the desert, and murmured to himself: "Have the female worms hatched yet? So quickly?"
"Dang-dang-dang!" the big bell in the village rang.
When the men, women, old and young saw the insect wave coming, their expressions changed drastically.
There are more than 10,000 people, but they may not be able to defeat ten insects.
Everyone couldn't help but show a look of despair.
The old cat said in a deep voice: "Don't be in a daze, harvest all the food immediately!"
"Then hide in the cellar! The insect tide may not be coming towards us!"
"I will ask you to come out when it is completely safe."
"Also, warriors who are capable of fighting, follow me! Take up arms and defend your homeland!"
In fact, there is no other way. Those bugs can fly. Even if you want to evacuate at this moment, you will not be able to escape very far before you will be overtaken.
What's more, they were surrounded by desert, where could they flee to?
Soon, all the villagers began to harvest grain frantically in the fields, and hid in the cellars at the last moment.
Only the old cat was hiding in the corner, observing silently.
Most of the bugs headed towards the Sky City. Only a few seemed to be unable to fly. They passed by the village and stopped.
"Now, we can only rely on ourselves."
A black machine gun appeared from its mouth, calling to the soldiers around it...
…
…
Lu Yuan also observed the swarm of insects in the sky filled with murderous intent, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
That overwhelming amount...
This ghost place is really not a good place!
He prayed in his heart that these insects would not care about the Shali clan. He suppressed the tension in his heart and said, "Conch, the insects are coming to find you. What should I do?"
"Mom, do you still know me?"
【I'm...a little scared.】
[Mom... must be dead... Mom...]
This was no time for joking. The vines of the Tree of Life gently pulled out the conch's soul gem from the golden flower.
The "Ascension Ceremony" was interrupted, and the poppy tree rioted again!
Before it could counterattack, Lu Yuan activated the alien space and disappeared from the spot.
The incoming insect swarm has obviously set its sights on the poppy tree and its millions of flower buds!
The furious poppy tree also noticed the insect tide in the sky and thought it was the insect tide that disturbed the "ascension ceremony".
Under the control of the terrifying obsession of "becoming a god", the monsters in the bud crawled out one by one.
No hesitation.
The two sides are like dry firewood, igniting at the drop of a hat!
Countless monsters glowing red and bugs falling from the sky were fighting together, like two tides crashing into each other.
In an instant, various limbs exploded.
Blood, acid, and various miscellaneous internal organs were spread all over the floor.
This ferocious and bloody scene made Lu Yuan feel terrified.
For a while, he couldn't tell who won and who lost.
There are a lot of bugs, more than ten million, maybe ten or twenty times more than monsters!
But there is a poppy tree in the Sky City, which has the ability to attack with the soul. The ability of the field is like ripples of water. With a gentle sweep, a large number of insects fall unconscious on the ground!
During this crazy fight, Lu Yuan saw the balloon-like "bug spacecraft" flying slowly from the distance in the sky.
A humanoid creature fell from the sky.
There are alloy-like wings on its back. According to the detection of the Pioneer Eye, its attribute values ​​​​are all "???"
This is obviously the core of the [worm] disaster - the mother worm!
[It's mom...] Conch became anxious.
After calling once, she stopped calling.
The appearance of the female insect has a strange evil nature, and the bright red shell with spots is like the most dangerous mushroom in the forest.
There are thousands of densely packed teeth in the mouth.
"Conch is no longer the same species." Lu Yuan sighed in a low voice.
"You'd better not have your hopes too high, otherwise you'll only be disappointed."
【I know...】
The mother insect seemed to possess subtle wisdom. After flying to the White Jade Square, her pair of compound eyes quietly looked at the golden flowers and poppy trees.
There was fierce fighting all around, purple mist was evaporating, and acid was splashing everywhere, but it nimbly dodged it.
The death of a large number of insects seems to be an insignificant matter to it.
It found the body of "Di" and picked it up with its two carapace claws.
Watching silently.
looking at...
Then, he held the corpse to his mouth, smelled it, and saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth.
[Mom... that's dad...] Conch couldn't help shouting.
Lu Yuan was upset, he should find an opportunity to cremate "Di".
As a result, [Insect] has now obtained it.
If his father's body was eaten, Conch would be sad for a while.
.
But the next second, the female insect actually overcame her desire to eat.
It dropped this body.
It just stood aside, silently in a daze.
A pair of black compound eyes looked at the corpse, revealing complicated emotions.
It's hard to imagine that an insect can have emotions.
Even, it exuded the same emotional fluctuations as the field.
You died like this...
Die in battle in a glorious and silent homeland.
In this way, he died for many, many years.
And I,
But still alive.
I am no longer the person I used to be.
Every day, every night, every moment, I think about revenge.
I am no longer a green person.
Revenge swallowed me up and turned me into a [worm].
The first moment I saw you,
I actually want to eat you.
I... am no longer the person I used to be.
Chapter completed!
