Chapter 326 Are you awake?

As long as you are alive, you need light and fire.

This is the well-known survival code of the lantern tribe.

The Deng Yuan was dug out of the ground and lit up the crystal. This is what the senior Deng Clan told him.

"Use fire, and never forget it."

Deng Yuan was still in a daze at that time and didn't understand anything.

It felt as if it had forgotten many things and seemed familiar with everything around it, but in the end these turned into indescribable confusion and disorder.

"Don't worry, every lamp clan comes here this way."

The senior held a bright lantern floating in the air and carried an iron pickaxe. The crystal on the top of its head shimmered. This was the way the lantern people expressed their smile: "When I woke up, I felt a splitting headache at first, and then I seemed to have forgotten

Everything then begins to be confused by its own existence.”

"It's okay, get up, the fog beast will come soon."

This senior named Deng Gu dug materials underground and finally found Deng Kite.

Deng Yuan was puzzled. According to the common sense of the Deng Clan, the Deng Clan has been facing attacks and killings from ferocious fog beasts. Why was he not dragged out and eaten by the fog beasts while he was sleeping?

It's easier to deal with a sleeper who won't resist than to hunt down a bunch of active lanterns.

"Who knows?"

Deng Gu said: "There are many strange things in Fog Harbor. Why is there so much black fog? Why do they never dissipate? Why do fog beasts attack the lamp tribe? Why are they afraid of lamps... Why do we exist?"

"no one knows."

"But there is one thing the Deng Clan must know: look forward."

The crystal on its head changes in brightness and darkness with the voice: "Survive first."

In this way, like other awakened Deng Clan, Deng Yuan followed Deng Gu and entered a short period of learning and recovery.

At this stage, Deng Yuan learned a lot.

The life of the lantern people is mainly divided into two parts: searching and making lanterns, and everything revolves around these two cores.

Search for various materials and similar materials sleeping underground.

The population of the Deng Clan has always been small, less than three thousand people now. According to the oral accounts of the Deng Clan elders, when the Deng Clan was at its peak, their number reached tens of thousands.

That was when the god [Firefly God] was still there, and the oracle would sometimes come with the iron and fire falling from the sky, bringing new guidance and hope to the lamp tribe.

At this time, the apostle, whose whole body is burning with fire, will also interpret the lamp clan.

Unfortunately, as the gods disappeared in the world pot, the oracle never appeared again, the fog beasts became more unscrupulous, and the hanging lamp became the key to survival.

There must be enough materials to make a hanging lamp, and the kerosene or solid fuel inside must be replenished regularly.

The number of lanterns is constantly decreasing, partly due to attacks by fog beasts, and partly due to natural death.

The light of the crystal above the head comes from the self-burning of the lamp clan.

There is a long ridge of life in the body of the lamp people. This life ridge is the core protected by the external metal shell. The life ridge allows the lamp people to think, communicate and create.

But the Life Ridge will burn slowly and illuminate the crystal lamp, which is also proof that the lamp clan is still alive.

With continuous consumption, this pillar of life will eventually collapse into fly ash, and the lamp tribe will also die.

Deng Yuan is still very curious.

If the life ridge in the crystal is extinguished and a lamp clan is buried deep underground again, will it be possible to survive for a long time without being attacked by the fog beast?

This approach seems feasible.

After Deng Gu listened to Deng Yuan's words, the light in the crystal dimmed a little: "You are partly right."

"If you extinguish the life crest and fall into a deep sleep, it will indeed not attract the fog beasts. They will only attack the lamp tribe with burning characteristics..."

"But that doesn't mean it's safe."

It paused for a moment: "After sleeping, the biggest enemy of the Deng Clan will become one of our own."

"Why is the population of the Deng tribe getting smaller and smaller? The external threat is the fog beast, and the internal reason is the hunting within the Deng tribe. This kind of hunting will not be exposed to the public environment, it is secretive and fast."

Deng Gu said in a cold tone: "The lanterns that do not burn are the best ready-made materials. No one will notice or care about the disappearance of a non-luminous lantern."

"Even if it is a normal dying lamp clan, the body will be coveted by many of the same kind. They are waiting for the day when the deceased's life spine is completely turned into ashes...Without the deterrence of the Firefly God, many lamp clans are even more unscrupulous, and those guys even directly

Hunting the same kind. Anyway, no one will see it because of the black mist."

"Why haven't we given birth to a great master for many years? This is also one of the reasons. The lamp clan is constantly declining and dying."

Deng Yuan shuddered after hearing this.

Likes are also enemies.

At this time, it also understood why most of the lantern tribe lived alone, because the same kind itself was a potential enemy and competitor.

The lantern tribe has gone from being a glorious family of god-given lantern makers in the past, servants of God whose mission was to create the sun, to a barbaric tribe where order is constantly collapsing. The root cause is the failure of the oracle and the fire of faith in the gods.

Swallowed by the world pot.

Deng Yuan boldly asked: "Then why did you wake me up instead of using me as material..."

"Of course I've thought about it."

The crystals in the Valley of Lights flicker rhythmically.

This means its attitude is serious and formal.

"But I won't do that."

"I was once a sleeping lamp clan, and I was helped by an elder of the lamp clan. When several lamp clan apostles dismembered me, it attracted the fog beasts and scared those guys away."

"I will never forget the person who lit the fire for me, and I will continue to pass the fire on."

Deng Yuan felt excited after hearing this.

There are still upright and brave people in the clan.

"But it's funny."

The crystal in Deng Valley shimmered, and he said with a smile: "The elder's name is Deng Cheng. He told me honestly that his hanging lantern was broken, so when he saw the Deng clan here, he came to ask for help. As a result,

Everyone was scared away."

"It's not a great rescuer, but it saved me and ignited my fire. This is what the Lantern Tribe should be like in my mind."

"We can be weak and fearful, but we should also have courage and perseverance. Just like the great masters in the past, creating the sun and dispelling the black fog, that is what we should do for ourselves and all the lamp people."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The crystal of Denggu burns like a flame, and it shows the burning color of the heart without hesitation.

The Kite named itself "Kite". It heard that there is a tool called a kite that can fly into the sky and soar above the fog. The kite can freely overlook the earth and escape from the heavy power of the ground.

It wants to create a new kind of sky lantern.

The sky lantern must not only provide lighting, but also lead the lantern tribe all the way through the sea of ​​fog where the fog beasts gather, and fly to unknown distances, no matter what is waiting there.

Deng Yuan spent all his energy on making sky lanterns.

It collects various materials and resources above and below ground, uses craftsmanship and techniques passed down orally by past masters, and makes a large number of new attempts.

Sky lanterns are essentially an advanced version of hanging lanterns, but their scale and volume are hundreds of times that of the former.

To ensure the battery life of the sky lantern, it is best to use high-grade material Almighty Stone as a support, which can ensure that both kerosene and solid fuel can be fully utilized, reducing consumption and enhancing brightness.

Deng Yuan has received help from many Deng clans, including advice on resources and technology, including even those who hunt their own kind.

It has been many years since anyone has tried to make a sky lantern. Just keeping the hanging lanterns lit and alive is difficult enough.

At this time, Deng Yuan realized that the Deng clan itself was also complex.

Darkness and light, filth and idealism, fighting spirit and negativity, these contradictory things coexist in the lantern people.

After many years, the sky lanterns once again shined in the sky. All the lantern clans once again looked up at their heads. Under the bright and dazzling light, the crystals above their heads shone with joyful fire.

What is different from the past is that this time the sky lanterns can also fly with lantern kites.

The sky lantern flew higher and higher, as if being held up by invisible hands, it shot straight to the top of the black clouds.

The crystal of this master of the lantern tribe was dim enough. He sat in a small wooden bucket connected to the sky lantern, watching the sky lantern rise slowly, breaking through the black mist, and entering a place that had never existed before.

It looks down below.

The black mist formed an isolated black ocean under the wooden bucket. They were thick and dense, isolating the higher sky from below. And above the black mist, there was a huge luminous body shining with boundless glow.

.

Deng Yuan stared blankly at the golden heart of light.

It turns out that the sun is still there, but it is above the black fog and is cut off from the lantern clan by the sea of ​​fog below. The clouds are white and the surroundings are full of light.

The original appearance of the world made Deng Yuan feel excited.

I must tell you, I must tell you, this world is full of light and heat!

As long as the black fog is dispersed, everything will be fine!

But how to go back?

This is a journey that I have never thought about returning, because when the lantern kite was tied to the sky lantern, it had no such intention. It had run out of fuel and the lantern had dried up, and there was no way to return.

Just as it was thinking hard, the entire sky lantern was suddenly pulled by an indescribable force and entered a strange and bizarre world.

The Deng Yuan fell into a kind of suffocation for a while, as if it had returned to its original state of sleep.

Are you going to die?

This is the feeling of death. I am really unwilling and unwilling.

The world became shaky, and became like a piece of sawdust falling into the sea of ​​clouds, constantly swaying and falling with the waves.

The violent shock caused by the impact made Deng Yuan suddenly come back to his senses.

It looks at its hands first.

The thread was still tightly wrapped in his hand.

Then the sky lantern is still there and I’m back! Back to Fog Harbor!

Very good!

Deng Yuan struggled to get up, but found that her body didn't obey her orders at all.

The body was severely damaged, and the metal structure of his arms and legs were even in pieces.

"Are you awake?"

A man wrapped in silver armor looked down at the lantern kite on the ground.

"Who are you?"

Deng Yuan had never seen such a person before, and the surroundings were even brighter. The light was so dazzling and unreal that the ground was filled with precious pure gravel.

There were several strange creatures around the armored man. Some of them were small and had tails, and some were very tall. They were wrapped in some kind of cloth... They were whispering, but Deng Yuan couldn't understand what they said at all.

.

Only the man in armor can understand his own words.

"What place is this?" Deng Yuan endured the pain and asked.

"This is Yunzhong Temple, the place where Lord Yao shines. The place where you fell now is outside Shacheng."

The other party's voice seemed very happy: "I didn't expect to see the Deng Clan in this way. You must have suffered a lot to come here, right?"

Deng Yuan was shocked: "You know the Deng Clan, are there any Deng Clan here?"

"Yes, I am."

The armored man patted his chest, making a metallic sound.

"My name is Deng Cheng, but I have been dead for many years. I am lucky enough to be taken into the world of Lord Yao."

Light ride?

Deng Yuan suspected that all this was an illusion at the time of death: "Do you know Deng Valley?"

"Denggu seems to have some impression."

The other party seemed to be lost in memories: "Ah, I remembered it. It was a lantern clan I once lit and awakened. Do you know it? Is it still okay?"

"It has been dead for a long time..."

Deng Yuan said with some melancholy.

"The brightness of the crystal is not enough, you are very weak now." The person who claimed to be a lamp rider observed it and said: "Come, put it on the steam carriage and send it back to Shacheng for repair and treatment."

"I know you have a lot of questions now. Let's do it one by one. You should take a rest first and don't burn yourself too much."

Deng Yuan said calmly: "My life spine has been burned out and I will die soon."

The other party said: "This place is full of fire and light. You are still alive and well, and you will continue to live."

"How can it be."

"nothing is impossible."

Deng Cheng said in a firm and confident tone: "I said, this is the world illuminated by Yao God. In Shacheng, death is just another beginning."

"What's more, there are omnipotent stones and magic oil here, which can help the life ridge continue to burn. Don't worry, you won't die!"

Everything seems like a dream.

Deng Yuan looked overhead.

The light of the golden sun spreads all over the world. There is no darkness or fog beast here, and the gods are still there.
