After putting away the amulet, Lu Zhengkang returned the same way and entered the Antler Station.
The stag beetle was summoned, and this time he came quickly and anxiously, "Let's leave this place quickly, it's filled with bad smells."
Lu Zhengkang sat on the seat, and the deer-horned insect set off immediately.
As the altitude rose and they gradually left the range enveloped by the radiant will, the two insects each breathed a sigh of relief.
Arriving at Dirtmouth successfully, the uneasy feeling that was hanging on my back completely disappeared.
Lu Zhengkang left his seat, and the deer-horned insect seemed to hear the bell calling him, turned back to the tunnel without stopping, and continued to set off.
Looking around, the station here is very good. Although there is only one platform, the capacity seems to be pretty good. It is underground, the exit is above ground, and there is an elevator to go up and down.
After taking a small elevator to the surface, there was a notice board next to the exit, which read current affairs news from a long time ago. Lu Zhengkang took a few glances and left the station.
The cool wind blew from the boundless fields, refreshing people's spirits. Lu Zhengkang raised his head and let the sky of this world come into view for the first time.
But the result was a huge disappointment.
Gloomy, dark.
There is no bright moon, no stars, only darkness.
The world without light looks cold and terrifying, and the gloomy sky is comparable to the deep sea. Those who cannot hope to penetrate this thick curtain will eventually be swallowed by despair.
No wonder radiation is revered as sacred, simply because it is light and the sun!
Lu Zhengkang didn't dare to look at this lightless dark sky, it was too scary. At this time, he even missed the light pollution that once enveloped the city.
What is more helpless than personal loneliness is the loneliness of the world.
What is it that blocks the starlight? Or is it that the stars in the universe have been extinguished?
Lu Zhengkang only hoped that the clouds were blocking the light. As long as the stars still existed, there was still hope of clearing the clouds and seeing the blue sky.
At this time, an older man walked up to Lu Zhengkang and said, "Unfamiliar face, are you also a warrior? It seems that you have just come out of the ruins, so you must be very tired." His tone was slow and mellow, and you could hear it.
Looks very kind.
Lu Zhengkang looked at the visitor. This was his old friend in the game, the Elder Worm, an ordinary insect who had gone through extraordinary vicissitudes. He was hunched over, with a long cloak hanging to the ground, fluttering in the wind, and a pair of worms on his head.
The horns were severely worn, there were deep wrinkles at the corners of the mouth, and the eyes were dim, and it was obvious that he had not been around for a long time.
"Hello, I am a warrior from Crossroads. I am here to look for Master Sly."
Elder Zhong was a little surprised, "Crossroads? I heard from Kefani that very bad things happened there recently. It must have been a hard journey for you, right?"
Lu Zhengkang had a conversation with him, and then asked where Sly's shop was. After learning the location, he left.
Ditmouth was once really prosperous, with larger buildings than the buildings near Natti's cabin, and the houses were tall and spacious.
But the same thing is that this place has also completely declined.
There was no need for Lu Zhengkang to specifically ask for Sly's address. There were not many houses with lights on here, only two or three in total.
There was a sign hanging outside Sly's shop, which read "Sly Grocery Store", "Managed with Integrity", etc. The door was open and Lu Zhengkang entered.
Sly stood behind a small, stone-like counter. His big eyes were wide open and a pair of antennae on his head were shaking slightly. He looked very energetic.
The room is very bright, with sundries placed everywhere. There are many bottles and cans on the cabinets beside the wall. There are some statue models on the table, which are very exquisite and cute. There are several masks hanging on the wall, as well as a large
The surprisingly old bone nail is a mere decoration, not Sly's special weapon.
In the game, when entering the God's Residence Challenge Temple, many players will be beaten beyond recognition by Sly holding a large bone nail.
What’s interesting is that before he was beaten, many players had always thought that he was a greedy profiteer. Even after learning about Sly’s title of Bone Nail Sage, they still thought that he was just a short man who picked generals... until he was beaten to the point where his own mother was stunned.
I couldn't recognize him, he was like a big brother, my master, and I regretted my mean mouth.
The "notorious" Slai hesitated for a moment when he saw Lu Zhengkang, mainly because the mask on his face was weird, but he was still keen enough to recognize Lu Zhengkang, "Oh! My friend, you are here, I
I’ve always wanted to see you again. It seems like you’re doing well, and your bone nails are very beautiful... How about, take a look at my shop, do you want to buy something?”
Lu Zhengkang knew that Sly used Geo as his power, and this weird concept had penetrated into every aspect of him, so he planned to tease him, "Oh, Sly, my good friend, dear Bone Sage, don't you plan to give yourself
Can your savior give me a discount?”
Sly shuddered when he heard the preferential price, "No! Geo's transaction is fair and just, and there is absolutely no chance of mixed feelings!" He spoke very righteously and tried hard to dispel Lu Zhengkang's "terrible" bargaining idea.
.
"But you set the price yourself, how can this be considered fair and just? Otherwise, we can discuss it and come up with a suitable price, which will be fair."
Sly shouted: "Impossible! There is no way to negotiate the price with the buyer! We will never bargain in our store!" He muttered, "Oh my God, if only all the customers were as neat and tidy as that little white guy.
Well, he never complains about expensive things."
Lu Zhengkang thought to himself, of course the little knight can't speak without a mouth. He shook his head with a smile and got down to business, "Master, I'm not here to buy anything from you this time. I wonder if you've noticed that the crossroads has been infected by the plague.
.”
"Yes, I didn't want to go there before, and I don't want to get any closer now."
"The crisis is coming. I implore you to help take care of this egg. It has been infected by the plague and is now dormant. It cannot withstand too many bumps and winds. After thinking about it, I still think you are the most trustworthy keeper.
.”
"Where are the parents of this egg?"
"Their condition is not suitable for caring for the eggs, and I'm afraid the guilt in their hearts will force them to break the egg shells."
"Then you need me to keep this egg safe? No problem..."
"No, it's more than that. In fact, I need to hire you for a period of time. Geo won't be a problem. The merchants on the crossroads are rich enough."
"It will cost you a fortune to hire me. At least to satisfy me, tell me what you need me to do first."
"I need you to escort this egg, and those merchant bugs, to the deep nest."
When Sly heard this, he directly denied it, "No, it's absolutely impossible!"
