Chapter 205 Decide your own destiny
"Conch, open the door!"
I called several times in succession, but Miss Conch, who was always talkative, had no response.
Even if she is crying secretly, she should theoretically respond. After all, her character is very polite, so there is no way she won't have any reaction...
Lu Yuan's heart "thumped".
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, and the veins popped up on his forehead, but he still couldn't get them open.
Unless you use violence to smash it directly, but that may damage the soul gem of the conch.
"What a shame, none of them are worrying."
"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 easily stuffed the big shell into it...
This means that Miss Conch’s soul has indeed disappeared.
Lu Yuan's pupils dilated and he clenched his fists.
"She was taken away by that illusion. Damn it...when did it happen?"
"She... volunteered?!"
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 passes over voluntarily, there is no need to continue attacking others.
After Lu Yuan thought about this clearly, he turned around silently and came to the tree of life, feeling nameless anger in his heart.
In the tawny wind and sand, this large 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 low cry of the conch.
And her father's last motto: "Decide your own destiny and enjoy the freedom to be yourself. This is our ultimate soul entrustment." 】
"Is this the fate you have decided?"
"To die and save us all?"
"You're such an idiot, damn!"
The world is big and full of helplessness.
Even he, Lu Yuan, cannot return home and hangs out with the villagers here. In fact, it is a helpless choice...
The sandstorm grew larger at this moment, and the rough sand blew against his face like sharp blades, causing bone-piercing pain.
It really hurts.
Lu Yuan looked into the distance again.
The "Ascension Ceremony" is no longer possible.
As he grows older, Conch's ability to "accommodate one's wishes" has long since slipped from its peak.
Only one root of the poppy tree remained.
There is only a little scrap left in the "spirit".
There are only some residual obsessions left in the "green paradise".
Everything is no longer what it once was.
Not only will she die, she will die in an extremely painful way - her soul will be distorted and transformed into a horrific monster.
Thinking of this, the rage in Lu Yuan's heart grew stronger.
I can't bear 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 took the Tree of Life back into his mind.
He realized that his mentality gradually changed and turned into the peaceful sand dunes.
He made up his mind.
If there are enemies,
Then chop down the enemy and save the people.
If there are no enemies and Conch is willing, then scold her. No one wants to owe you a favor. Don't even think about sacrificing yourself!
Your father allows you to live a happy life, and this is how you repay your father?
Lu Yuan had a cold expression, breathed a sigh of relief, and prepared weapons for combat.
The thermal weapons are all in the storage space. They were maintained just a few days ago and should be ready for use.
Cold weapons can be used at any time.
"There are a million monsters in the middle of the city, but it would be good to kill 10,000 of them."
"But if you rescue the conch, what will happen to the Shali clan? Let them all die?"
The old cat jumped onto Lu Yuan's shoulder calmly, just like in countless previous battles.
"I cut down the roots of the poppy tree. That's the best of both worlds." Lu Yuan said firmly.
Although the immortal giant turtle didn't understand what happened, when he heard that the conch had been captured, he was furious and yelled something: "That's my brother's sister."
Lu Yuan put on his best equipment and ran towards the distance at high speed.
It's a rare cloudy day in the desert. A few clouds like fish scales block the sun and bring rare coolness to the vast land.
"Comrade, do you hear that? Comrade!" While running, Lu Yuan picked up the eyeball and activated telepathy.
"Listen - see -" a very slow voice came from the other side.
"I'm going to participate in a dangerous battle. If I don't call for a long time, it means I have lost and there is no need to worry about it anymore."
"Pangaea is inherently risky, and anything can happen."
"I have been mentally prepared for survival and death."
Lu Yuan ignored the other party's slow inquiry and hung up the phone.
The closer to a life-and-death crisis, the more his mind becomes clearer.
He moved faster and faster, running wildly through the ruins.
The wind and sand blew on the armor, making a "ding-dong-dang" sound.
He was no match for a million flower buds in the center of the city, not 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 in Shali, these insects were bred by a supernatural life called "Mother Insect". 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 walked along the sewer in a certain direction.
He always remembered the map drawn by the people in Shali.
He saw the huge mother insect.
A fat, long insect covered with tentacles, like the queen of termites, with a total body length of more than ten meters, occupied the corner of the mushroom forehead.
A pair of ferocious compound eyes stared at them, and a sharp roar came out of the mouth.
"Get out!"
Lu Yuan's donkey head mask burst into a scarlet light.
He raised the black iron sword in his hand, bent his right leg and made a preparatory action to swing - he would really attack in the next second, and in the form of teleportation, bursting with all his strength, and killing 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 mother insect cried twice and actually retreated.
This insect may have evolved subtle wisdom and did not embarrass this group of almost crazy travelers.
Or perhaps, its soul just returned to its place and it was a little weak.
It ran away.
"Good luck to you!"
"Splash, splash", they waded through the water all the way, passing through the winding sewer.
After a while.
Lu Yuan saw a jade pendant covered with algae on the floor, with a kind-looking human-shaped statue on it, which might be a god believed in by the green civilization.
It was washed into the sewer for a long, long time.
"Bless me, God whose name is unknown, I am going to save the last people of your civilization."
"If she dies, the Green Civilization will really perish."
"If she lives, she may be able to reproduce the next generation."
The jade pendant could not speak, but remained silent.
It was hung on Lu Yuan's chest, swaying and colliding with the armor, just like it witnessed the final destruction of civilization thousands of years ago, it was always silent.
Finally, Lu Yuan saw the flower buds in the sewer.
Bright and moving.
The constant beating of the flower buds resonated with his heart, as if to pull his soul out alive, and the weird illusion appeared in Lu Yuan's mind again.
Fortunately, there were no creatures in these flower buds.
They lived in the sewers, and the strong men of the Green Civilization could not choose the flower buds in the 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 considered to have resisted the manic resonance force.
He gritted his teeth and pushed open a few flower buds, trying not to hurt them.
"Brother, if a fight really breaks out, let Grandpa Turtle be a meat shield."
"You saved people, just run away on your own." The immortal giant turtle exhaled heavily from his nose, and bloodshot eyes appeared in his eyes. "Grandpa Turtle will not die, at most he will just sleep."
"I understand, thank you brother."
Lu Yuan nodded, poked open the sewer manhole cover above his head, and poked his head out.
There were wriggling flower buds all around, and the density of the enemies reached a level that made people's scalps numb. Countless flower buds were resonating back and forth. Lu Yuan once again heard the mysterious voice of [The Ascension Ceremony is about to begin].
If no one stops it this time, it will really start!
He widened his eyes.
He saw the huge poppy tree hundreds of meters away!
In the gray mist, only one wooden stake remained of the poppy tree, but it still looked so magnificent, emitting a terrifying aura that made people tremble.
Its original trunk was torn apart by itself, and the injured part was 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 a hundred meters high, maintaining an extremely vigorous vitality.
Countless branches forked, blocking the sky.
The millions of flower buds were part of the extension of the behemoth.
Compared with the illusion, the poppy tree was a little more ferocious and less elegant.
The overwhelming branches and forks made Lu Yuan feel a little psychologically fearful. All the attributes could not be detected, and he could only see a name - [Poppy Tree·Demon].
He had no idea how to fight this behemoth.
All attacks were just tickling, and even a few nuclear bombs would not necessarily destroy this unimaginable super life.
Fortunately, his mission was just to rescue Miss Conch. Killing the terrifying monster from the last era was simply impossible.
