Chapter 287: Fighting after repeated defeats, very energetic
It has been a month since I returned to the Kingdom of God, and the scenes from the three days in Shacheng keep popping up in my mind.
He was sitting on a stone hill on Mount of Pillars.
From this position, you can see two disaster beasts in the distance.
The fire bison, which has its own drought, is chewing hay, and the surrounding area is dry and barren; the jungle monitor, which can stir up wind and rain, is lying in a mire. With it as the center, there are puddles and mud puddles everywhere.
Sandwalkers Yanjiu and Nonglei were carrying bamboo shoots and fish meat respectively, and were feeding the beasts.
On the Mountain of Pillars, such scenes are very common.
Various ethnic groups from the two major divine kingdoms would come nearby to watch the competition between the Sand Walkers - although Nong Lei was always beaten by Yan Jiu and was unable to fight back, he was defeated and fought repeatedly and was very energetic.
Just seeing him fight back against a strong opponent despite being defeated makes people feel more inspired.
After going to Sand City and seeing two Sand Walkers fighting each other, Funeral Poison had a different feeling.
Why do the extraordinary people of the Yao tribe keep challenging their limits and refuse to stop?
Because there are many talented people in the ethnic group, if you stop for a moment, you will not be able to keep up with the times.
Every strong person is accustomed to dealing with pressure.
In the ghost world, such a lifestyle is unimaginable.
Ghouls spend most of their time sleeping underground. They are dim-witted and have a loose nature. They will only become violent when they are whipped and endanger their own survival.
When encountering the extraordinary beings of the Yao tribe, it is almost impossible for the ghouls to stand a chance of winning.
Funeral Poison recalled the scene he saw outside Shacheng.
He had witnessed with his own eyes an extraordinary person fighting with a monk who transformed into clouds.
The two sides are trapped in the clouds and mist. This is the duel ability of Monk Huayun. They will be involved in a one-on-one fight to the death. Only the winner can leave alive.
Soon after, the clouds and mist dissipated. The extraordinary man was covered in blood and could barely stand. The lingering white mist quickly integrated into his body.
But he was too seriously injured and he just raised one hand before falling to the ground and dying.
The funeral poison can be seen clearly.
The Yao people raised their injured arms and clenched their fists to declare their victory and glory. Even though he knew he was about to die soon, this extraordinary man still had a smile on his face, as if he didn't care.
The sight of Funeral Poison made my back feel cold.
The Yao people have such terrifying enterprising spirit and vigor, and are worthy of the civilization created by powerful gods.
Ghosts are another pain point of funeral poison.
In Sand City, the ghosts give full play to their respective strengths.
Ghost scholars impart their knowledge to other groups through oral narration and debate, and preserve and circulate it through books.
Another part of the ghosts wear [ghost armor]. Relying on this sophisticated armor, they can move and touch various objects as they did in life, and participate in research and production in various fields, no different from living people.
And in the ghost world.
The ghosts use the black tombstone as their residence and form small groups. Apart from requiring the ghosts to be proficient in using ghost fire, the two apostles have no other requirements for them.
Can't ask for more.
The ghost itself has difficulty using physical tools, cannot participate in excavation and construction, and cannot fish, cut, or smelt.
Apostle Blow made many attempts to make better use of this large group, but unfortunately they all failed.
In the ghost world, ghosts are like a group of freed savages. They play with slugs, mess with mud and wood, collect bones, love to argue and tell death jokes, and sleep in when they have nothing to do... This is the current situation.
From this sharp contrast, Mingdu felt helpless.
It's not that the ghosts in the ghost world are deliberately lazy, it's just that they simply can't do it at this stage. Both the two apostles and the ghosts have tried their best.
This is the most painful thing about funerals.
The same ethnic group, in the ghost world and in Sand City, has completely different abilities and mental outlook.
The gap between the two sides is so big that people can't bear to look at it.
Just as Xian Du was thinking gloomily, someone next to him greeted him.
"Brother Funeral Poison, I'm sorry, there was an insect plague in a bamboo forest before. We went over temporarily to rescue, which delayed a little time."
The person who came was a short reed man with a reed tassel in his head. He had a short body like a child. He was Lu Shan.
"I just came, it's okay."
Funeral Poison waved his hand: "Business matters are important."
It's amazing to say.
Before going to Shacheng, Xiandu regarded the two envoys from the Zhulu Kingdom as competitors and stayed on guard and vigilance. But after being shattered by everything in Shacheng, Xiandu chose to cooperate with Lushan.
Although the formal cooperation only lasted three days, Lushan showed his extraordinary wisdom and acumen, which in many places made the funeral director feel inferior.
Lushan has a gentle personality and is not resistant to making friends and sharing knowledge.
The funeral director also reciprocated his love. The two parties were frank and frank, and a wonderful friendship was formed within a few days.
This kind of friendship is based on mutual recognition of abilities and cooperation with consistent interests. In addition, it is also inseparable from mutual appreciation of both parties.
Before leaving Shacheng, the two made an appointment to meet at Pillar Mountain a month later to exchange follow-up experiences.
"The situation in the ghost world is difficult to describe."
Xingdu looked in the direction of the Kingdom of God: "I told Lord Apostle Buluo what I saw in Shacheng in detail..."
After listening patiently, Bullo just said, thank you for your hard work. Please keep the Shacheng matter a secret for as long as possible.
Then there was no more content.
The entire Kingdom of God was peaceful and calm, as if there was no difference from before. The ghouls were still sleeping lazily, and the ghosts continued to enjoy their boring afterlife.
Funeral Ji asked him worriedly: "Brother Du, why didn't the Kingdom of God respond at all? Shouldn't those constructions and tools in Shacheng follow suit immediately?"
"Whether it's a ghost or a ghoul, we can all learn from the Yao clan... Now, it's like pretending not to see or hear. How could it be like this?"
Funeral Poison understands the reason.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t.
The ghost world is composed of funeral clans, ghouls and ghosts. This civilization structure is very different from that of Sand City.
Sand City is home to various extraordinary races, including elves, squirrels, tree men and other forest elemental creatures, as well as the Wuji tribe, sandworms, and a large number of ghosts who live with sand and gravel.
Without ghost lighthouses, ghost armors, and a complete and mature civilization foundation, it is impossible to imitate the Yao people.
It's just like the lack of core materials, no matter how skilled the undertaker is, he can't make a black tombstone.
The ghost world can only accept the huge gap in existence with a calm and restrained attitude, lay a good foundation first, and start by sifting out the intellectuals of each race.
If you don't observe and understand thoroughly enough, you will mistakenly think that the ghost world has given up chasing.
"...That's just the way it is."
Tell the truth truthfully.
After witnessing the advanced culture and wonderful creations displayed by the Yao people in Shacheng, his thoughts changed dramatically from before.
The world outside is wonderful, but the world outside is helpless.
If you want to try your best to catch up and touch places like Shacheng, you must let go of the past either-or thinking, look to the farther goal, and face yourself in a down-to-earth manner.
Otherwise, what's the point of just focusing on what you can see, even if you can overwhelm the Bamboo Reed Kingdom?
If Yao didn't nod his head, the outcome of the battle between gods would be completely meaningless.
Xian Du also frankly told Bu Luo about his relationship with Lu Shan, and the apostle superior expressed his approval.
"In the long run, the ghost world and the Zhulu Kingdom will cooperate again, and this day should not wait too long. You can feel free to do it boldly and try it."
When Lushan heard the description of the funeral poison, his face was filled with shock.
Because in Zhulu Country, the situation is exactly the opposite.
After learning the detailed information about Shacheng, Apostle Zhunan immediately made a series of mobilizations: expanding the scale of bamboo forests and further improving the quality of bamboo shoots, vigorously promoting the further development of bamboo, finding and cultivating wild species, and developing animal husbandry. People must take action.
The entire Zhulu Kingdom is surrounded by a tense and serious environment.
Many Lu people were talking privately, wondering whether there was going to be another war or some kind of natural disaster was coming, and everyone was tense.
Lushan knew that this was the heavy pressure brought by Shacheng.
As a Lu people who are good at construction and creation, Lushan's understanding of Shacheng is far better than that of his counterpart Zhuhu.
The urban order displayed by Sand City contains amazing creativity and inventions among seemingly ordinary streets and houses.
It's like traveling on a boat.
This kind of vehicle that can travel unimpeded on the ground and underground is a weapon for any kingdom of God.
It not only expands everyone's movable space, but also enhances the city's radiation range, which is of great significance to transportation and trade.
According to the ghosts, this kind of vehicle is a backward representative of the Yao people.
In the big cities of the Yao world, the most popular thing nowadays is the steam-fired carriage. The iron-wheeled carriage driven by the heart of a copper furnace is not only faster and more stable, but can also cross complex terrain.
Lushan can only envy him.
Another example is buildings.
Almost all houses in Shacheng are built of stone, with flat roofs and narrow windows. These designs can cope with storms and yellow sand in the desert, reducing the impact of strong winds and dust accumulation.
A flat roof can dry food and clothes, dissipate heat quickly and keep you cool.
The roofs and windows of houses may seem ordinary, but they are the result of rich construction experience. Such inventions that are not easy to be discovered abound.
Lushan consulted the ghost scholar Bocha, and sure enough he learned that the Yao people had specialized engineering schools and engineers. This group was committed to building various houses and improving fortifications to cope with various harsh climates and extreme disasters.
In addition, what impressed Lushan the most was Shacheng Rose.
The sand roses arranged evenly outside the city have a metallic luster on their surface. The brown-yellow flowers are obviously plants, but they are as hard as solid stone.
These tall and shining roses are also the guards of the outer wall of the sand city.
They can shoot spikes to punish bad citizens and intruders, and their lethality is no less than that of black tombstones.
Lushan couldn't help but think.
If the Yao people continue to expand this kind of rose, they can easily create rose sentry towers all over the world, making it difficult for any enemy to gain a foothold.
It is both a building and a plant, a magnificent flower and a sharp sword.
Lushan initially thought that this kind of life was a creation of the gods.
But according to the gardener Shaq, roses were cultivated by an apostle named Pinkman - there are several varieties like sand roses.
It is natural for Zhuluguo to feel pressure and fear.
…
Lu Shan and Ming Du shared their respective experiences, and both of them were inevitably filled with emotion.
The same understanding brought about completely different reactions and disturbances from the two divine kingdoms.
This is also a reflection of the differences in the styles of the gods.
Before parting, Lu Shan asked a question: "Do you think the Kingdom of God we are in can catch up with the Yao people?"
Xiandu hesitated for a moment: "...It's very, very difficult."
He said: "But there should be hope to catch up with Shacheng. Since the Yao people invited us there, they are not afraid of us learning from it. Shacheng is just a new city built by the Yao people in the Whirlpool World... If you can go to the big cities in the Yao people's world,
You should see a bigger gap.”
Lu Shan said: "I feel that even if our generation cannot catch up, as long as we continue to catch up and make progress, the gap will be narrowed."
Seeing the opponent's high-spirited fighting spirit, Xiandu didn't want to be compared: "Of course. We have a lot of room for growth. It will be much more difficult for the Yao people to increase their speed than us."
The two of them looked straight ahead.
On Pingding Mountain not far away, young Nong Lei was punched away by Yan Jiu again. He wiped his nosebleed with the back of his hand and tried to get up.
Lushan said softly: "I believe that one day we will build our own sand city. I just don't know if you and I can wait until that day."
"Will do."
Xian Du firmly emphasized: "It will definitely happen."
