Chapter 404 404...Hohohoho, subtle chapter name
Crescent Valley.
The basin that once nourished Crescent Village has now become a disaster for the village, with droughts and frequent sandstorms. Moreover, the scenery is too single. In addition to yellow sand and yellow sand, there are also some dry river valley sections that hide some monsters.
The huge sand dunes are boundless at first glance, as if the sky is made of sand! Sandstorms may come anytime and anywhere... In such a harsh environment, three people stood quietly between the river from the exit of the Crescent Village to the Crescent Valley, staring at the yellow sand in the sky. The heat and wind and sand could not shake their bodies.
"That...Shi Najun? Do you mind if I ask you a question?"
Naiyazi looked at the witch beside her, and then asked carefully at the monster in Qingyi, no longer as arrogant as before, Pei Chen was puzzled.
But there is no way to do this. As long as you think of the true body of the demon clan or the form of the innate god exposed by this guy yesterday, even the little evil god like Naiyazi, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, will feel numb on his scalp.
Just a snake is like a river that is as wide as a snake;
The nine-tailed world-destroying tails can be easily annihilated in a material plane;
It is like a giant mountain and rock god who can hold the universe and starry sky with his shoulders in myths and legends...
No matter which one is Pei Chen's future, or which one is the future Pei Chen, they have shown a path, an evolutionary path and power route that is destined to reach the peak of at least six stars. Even if what they saw at that time was just an illusion, it was very realistic and really shocked Naiyazi, so that she always treats Pei Chen intentionally or unintentionally as an existence of that level...
After all, she is not the real Nayaratotip now!
Just be careful and careful, no matter how careful you are, it is not an exaggeration to be careful—
Of course, this is also what Kikyo requires. As long as Pei Chen himself does not realize it, try not to expose what happened yesterday. This principle is like the ghost phenomena that remain in the world after death and that they do not realize anything. Once exposed, they will no longer deceive themselves, and such phenomena will naturally be destroyed...
The consequence is naturally the dog.
On the contrary, if you don’t know anything, you may live longer and nourish your life. Is it a classic way of death or it’s called ‘You know too much’? The witch is very suspicious that it is because Pei Chen’s three completely different wills have been confronting and checking and balancing each other, so it has not caused any substantial damage to him...at least not now.
He even didn't know what happened to him yesterday. This was both a good and a bad thing. As long as it was not revealed for the time being, the external will that lie dormant in his body should not change before the complete decision of the outcome. However, once it was revealed, it is very likely that the external will in his body would rebel immediately...
"What's the matter?" Pei Chen glanced at Nayako and asked back. I wonder if it was an illusion. Since he lost his mind once yesterday, both Nayako and Kikyo looked at him with a look of something wrong. Then again, isn't the great achievement of magic skills worth celebrating? Why is it so strange to unfold?
He even had a nervous self-examination, thinking that something was wrong with him...but he found nothing, and it was possible that he could not find out at all, unless he returned to the infinite space to do a comprehensive inspection.
"That...what is the ultimate form of your bloodline evolution?"
Naiyako chose a tactful question, and for some reason, the blue eyes were full of anticipation, so she was waiting for him to answer.
Pei Chen thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "Who knows, I can't see clearly what that thing is, and any factors may lead to changes in the direction of evolution before it is born... But the goal in the early and mid-stage period should be Bashe. Well, that is, to cultivate snakes. First find a way to strengthen the life template to that level, and then consider the issue of the ultimate form!"
"...Ba Snake?" Naiyako's voice raised slightly, as if she had thought of something, and shrank her head slightly.
"Yes, Cuban snakes, eating elephants and moving mountains... At that time, I can hold the mountains and seas, and hide in the abyss and shrink the ground!" Pei Chen seemed to be in high spirits, and happily discussed with the silver-haired and blue-eyed girl. "I feel that this is the real power. It can easily push mountains and fill the seas and draw rivers into lands, and they are all their essential powers, not magical formations and other means of suspicion of tricks..."
Although the witch who was quietly surveying the terrain and observing the environment did not interrupt, she looked at Pei Chen with a look of surprise. Isn’t this nonsense? If you can even carry thousands of mountains and cross the boundless sea, if that is not the real power... what concept can be classified as real power?!
...
...
The geographical location of several people is at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, west of Crescent Village.
The old village chief and a few elderly people in the village looked at Pei Chen and the others in anticipation behind the three of them, because the three of them said they could see if there was any way to save the dry river valley and rectify the problem of Crescent Village from the root.
If others said this, the old village chief and the old man Su in the village would definitely swear their saliva without hesitation and drive them out as charlatans who want to cheat and eat and drink. Moreover, ordinary charlatans have to have some vision to make things easier. Such a charlatan who cannot let go of such a poor village will starve to death.
But the three people in front of me are different.
The three of them came to the village spotlessly with a violent sandstorm last night. And the young man in the lead suppressed the village under the power of nature just by stomping his feet. The dunes and wind and sand that were about to fly into the sky, and even the dust storm around him suddenly stopped under this kick, as if the storm cyclone had been trampled...
Since the Crescent Valley dried up, the people in Crescent Village have been accustomed to frequent wind and sand attacks over the years. Although the sandstorm last night was rare and terrible, it was only rare and not unprecedented. However, the people in the village never thought that the terrible sandstorm would be like this and suppressed by a person's foot. It was simple and direct and made people "dummy" on the spot. The so-called powerful miracle.
This easy power to suppress the sandstorm and calm the earth's energy was like the legendary god. If it weren't for the wrong gender, almost everyone in the village would have knelt down as the legendary mother of the earth, the old village chief was so excited that he trembled.
This old man who always trembled with crutches when walking. When the witch's face changed slightly and thought about whether to be first aid, he suddenly showed that the strength and agility that people of his age should have except for not being in line with the slightest degree of strength and agility that people of his age should have. He rushed over and grabbed Pei Chen's clothes tightly, and asked the "God" to give this poor village a blessing...
Then Kikyo and Naiyako both received a prompt that they triggered a side mission, requiring the environment near the Crescent Valley to be restored to an oasis before the Qionghua mission ascends to the ascension, and to relieve the crisis of Crescent Village. The reward is very generous, with a total of 400,000 survival points and a B-level brilliant gem... Perhaps there is a lot of favorable feelings among the residents of Crescent Village?!
Of course, the Crescent Village is now poor and unrestrained. It seems that even if it wins the reputation of relationships to the level of [reverence], it probably has no substantial benefits. However, the previous survival points and glorious gem rewards cannot be denied. The team lacks the most now. And Kikyo refuses to obtain her own capital by killing plot creatures. Only the points obtained by such a normal task path can she use them without any grudges.
"The earth dried up, the river water was lost, the trees died... Almost only the earth energy was left, more than 90% of it... Except for the existence of wind spirit and earth spirit, the remaining one achievement was only dry and hot fire..." Kikyo closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then shook his head in disappointment. This was the last earth vein near the village.
There is no water vapor, and the thunder spirit lives in the nine heavens. There is no rain or snow all year round, and even dark clouds cannot gather. Apart from the sandstorm, the scorching sun, the earth energy in this place is so unbalanced and chaotic, even more extreme than the Yan Emperor Shennong Cave. In the eyes of the witch, this place is no longer saved, and it can only allow nature to change the creation of heaven and earth to gradually transform, and human power cannot restore the sky.
Kikyo looked at Pei Chen and asked for his opinion.
Although she has some mastery of the five spirits and has a very high degree of control, after all, Pei Chen's qualifications are not bad at all. Even Baili Tusu thinks that it is a pity for him to not be an orthodox person to practice immortals and seek Taoism. Moreover, yesterday this guy inexplicably completely refined the earth spirit bead, and now his mastery and understanding of the power of the earth spirit has greatly improved to the level of gods and demons.
After all, the five spirits are not as fast as one specialist. In terms of soil erosion and earth qi imbalance, Pei Chen is more professional now. As for Naiyazi, the power system is completely incompatible, and it is even impossible to use the elemental attributes at the material level to divide her camps, so it is better to be a melon-eating crowd who knows the truth.
As expected, he rubbed his eyebrows, then wiped his nose, and said, "My opinion is not much different from yours, but I just feel that this place has not reached the level of completely hopelessness... As long as you grasp the key direction of the earth's veins and regulate the earth's qi, it should be able to alleviate the problem symptoms in this place..."
The witch looked at him quietly and did not interrupt him, because she knew that there must be something else - although she mastered the power of the earth spirit bead, she could not fully understand such a strongest power in such a short time, otherwise the last earth spirit god would not have appeared yesterday.
Moreover, the power of the five spirits is all transformed by the yin and yang energy. No spiritual power can be produced. In the end, it needs to be mutually generated, mutually restrained, mutually complementary and mutually supported... and checks and balances each other. Otherwise, a single tree cannot support it, and the witches will not believe that Pei Chen’s current realm can already use the power of earth spirit to the extent of “generating from all things”.
"Okay, Kikyo, don't look at me like this!" Pei Chen laughed awkwardly, "As you can see, because the power of water spirit has been almost completely expelled, just regulating the earth's energy is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst... Once the power I injected into is exhausted, the place will eventually return to such a harsh situation, and the gravitational force may make the harshness of the environment and the natural recovery speed worse..."
"So what?" Kikyo said calmly. She was very pity and sympathetic to the people here, but she also understood that when the human power was exhausted, it would take at least several generations or even dozens of generations to work hard for them to fight against such a powerful force alone...
Maybe the witches in their heyday could really do it. After all, the comprehensive rating has reached the level of five-star level. But now... when the remaining 180 kinds of collections are collected, the limit of unlimited space will be lifted!
"I still need the power of the Water Spirit Pearl?" the witch asked with a frown, looking at the monster in front of her suspiciously, wondering whether this guy's ultimate goal was to follow the plot and seek the Water Spirit Pearl.
"Ahem... there are also such reasons!" Pei Chen admitted calmly, "But more, if I don't have the Water Spirit Pearl, I really can't do such a thing. What you should know best is..."
Kikyo thought about it again and seemed to be the case, so she felt relieved: "Then what are you going to do? Let's decide..." She closed the scattered hair in her ears and said softly, while she glanced at the old people behind her who were extremely anxious and anxious but did not dare to walk up to disturb her easily.
Pei Chen waved his hand and made a very decisive decision: "If there is no way to cure the root cause, then treat the symptoms for the time being! At least that will make their lives easier... Let's explain the situation to them first, and then go to the river in Boxian Town tomorrow to get some clear water..."
Naiyazi blinked her big eyes a few times and asked strangely: "Why do you have to get water?"
The witch immediately understood and smiled slightly and explained to the girl: "Firstly, it is to alleviate the water difficulties of the villagers here, and secondly... it should be that they want to use the clear water as a medium to prepare to regulate the earth veins and earth energy here! After all, he cannot generate water spirits out of thin air!"
"Oh, then I understand!"
The three of them turned around and returned. The old village chief and several old men couldn't wait to surround him, smiling embarrassedly as if thinking about how to speak so as not to appear abrupt. However, Pei Chen was not in the mood to joke with these old people or tease them, so he spoke out first, and his gentle expression on his face made people feel as if they were soaked in spring breeze that they would not feel unhappy at all.
The change in the style of painting is not at all abrupt, and it is even perfect and natural, which makes the beautiful girl of evil gods unable to help but make a fuss. It feels like this guy also has the potential to become a god with thousands of faces! When needed, he can change his style of people and things anytime and anywhere.
"Is that true, even the gods, you can't do anything?..." The old village chief looked disappointed and frustrated, and his eyes became confused, as if he was recalling and remembering something. Like several other old people, his back was hunched, his face, arms, calves and even all visible skin were full of crisscrossing traces, like ravines, talking about the ruthlessness and cruelty of the knife carving of the years.
Pei Chen would be silent for a long time when he looked at them, and there would always be a little more respect in his attitude. Perhaps mortals had only been born and died for a hundred years, and the spring and autumn had not yet been seen as the spring and autumn had become ashes, but they really worked hard to live. Perhaps they were not as dazzling as the existence of ghosts and gods in the world, and even humble to the dust, but no one could look down on them.
Because of this, although Pei Chen always acts so calm, can accept everything, and can joke about anything, he never treats people or other creatures in the mission world as simple NPCs...
Moreover, if it weren't for infinite space, I'm afraid I'll be like this in the future! No, maybe there's no future at all, because only dead people can be selected by the normal arrest program in infinite space... To put it bluntly, Pei Chen still has a kind of mentality of hurting his kind, and a rabbit dies and a fox that is sad.
Most of the apostles in the space are like this. No matter how they strengthen, no matter how their life forms are promoted, their bloodlines change, their souls change, and their logical thinking, their ideas are beyond recognition, but the deepest trace of human nature and the most precious memory in their hearts will not be easily destroyed.
In order to live, you can accept any bloodline, whether it is a werewolf, a blood clan or a adjuster... in order to evolve any route, whether it is a carbon-based, silicon-based or a ghost-like state... in order to struggle, you can do anything, whether it is a massacre of cities, destroying countries or destroying planets...
However, memory and nature have been the last bottom line to stick to.
Listening to the old village chief's whisper, Pei Chen lowered his eyes slightly, a hint of confusion and depression flashed in his eyes, and then he shook his head gently, and his eyes became firm again. Confusion and weakness should never appear on himself!!
It seemed that I had sensed something, and the two women next to me glanced at him without a trace.
"...It's been a long time ago. Crescent Village was once a beautiful oasis. A Crescent River flowed from Kunlun Mountain and feeded the entire village. There is also a forest at the source of the river. Although it is not very big, it grows particularly lush."
The old men next to them also sighed bitterly, while Pei Chen and the other two remained silent.
"...After those trees fell, the water in the Crescent River slowly dried up... Everyone regretted it. They thought of many ways to restore the water source, and even built a new altar to pray to the heaven, but it was useless... The gods were already angry..."
"In recent years, the Crescent River has completely dried up. Many people have died of serious illness due to lack of water... There are also young and strong people who leave here and want to live elsewhere, but never come back... You said it is best to migrate. We also know this, but how can the orphans and widows in the village withstand long journeys..."
"More importantly, Crescent Village is the place where our ancestors settled for generations. As the village chief, can't I even keep this homeland... I'm not willing to give up, I'm really unwilling to give up..."
The most terrifying thing is not that I have never had it, but that I suddenly lost it after I have it; the most terrifying thing is that there is no hope, but that I lost it after I have hope. As the old village chief spoke, he burst into tears, and finally burst into tears.
The other old people seemed to be infected by the old village chief's emotions, and they started to cry one after another. The old people in their seventies and eighties cried in such despair, which made people feel sad. I am afraid that even the tiger would feel compassion. Kikyo stretched out his hand to say something, but he couldn't speak in the end.
The three of them could only watch the old people crying loudly and vent their depression until they calmed down themselves.
"Sorry, I really tried my best, and I am just a demon, not a god... At most, I can only temporarily adjust the earth energy here so that it is no longer so hot and dry. If you want to change for a long time, you must need the Water Spirit Pearl. Unfortunately, it is a treasure on earth, and we have only heard of it..."
Pei Chen smiled bitterly and explained in a gentle tone, but his words were intentionally or unintentionally guiding the old village chief's thinking direction.
Although she was a little unkind, Pei Chen didn't think he had done anything wrong, and he was telling the truth. Even the witch just glared at him fiercely, her eyes full of blame, but she didn't say anything to stop him.
The old village chief wiped his tears and smiled bitterly: "If the demons are as kind-hearted as you, you will naturally be gods... This is no different for us... It's so wrong, making you laugh..." Although he didn't notice any problem in Pei Chen's words, the seeds have been planted and are waiting to take root and sprout.
After a long time of persuasion, these old people finally turned around with disappointment and gratitude, leaned on crutches or supported each other, and walked back to the village tremblingly. In the distant village, a circle of black people looked at them expectantly, but they waited for the disappointment news, and they all sighed and sighed.
However, not everyone was disappointed and frustrated. Many people had great hope for the next move of the god who claimed to be a demon, saying that he could regulate the earth's energy and suppress the earth's veins. Their requirements were really not high, just a little better, just a little...
"A very hardworking person! And he has a very thorough understanding of the essence of things..." Just as the witch was silent, Pei Chen suddenly spoke, "After that being said, is there really any essential difference between demons and immortals?"
"No..." After continuing to remain silent for a moment, Kikyo spoke just when Pei Chen thought he would not get an answer, but his voice was unquestionable, "The difference is only in people's hearts..."
"Yes, people's hearts..." The monster pinched his chin, nodded slowly, and looked at the villagers who were scattering one after another in the distance, "Super Mien, fight for Mien... Enemies become enemies, and people's hearts are changing... Not everyone can see so thoroughly as the old village chiefs!"
Naiyako, who felt that the style of the two people was obviously not right from the beginning, could no longer hold it back and decided to come out to show off her presence: "Hey? Shina Jun, what do you mean..."
"Don't you understand enough? It's because we can't really solve the problem here, and we gave them hope but it has not been realized... Now some villagers in the village are dissatisfied with us, and even hated us..." Pei Chen touched Naiyazi's little head helplessly and smiled meaningfully.
Chapter completed!
