Chapter 76: Ancient God, Expulsion, Worry-free Melody
The majestic tree of dreams, the root of the void that grows in reverse, where the King of Nightmares hangs upside down.
Green was tightened and pierced by the black roots, and flames were pouring out of him, like scarlet blood, entering the tree roots and pouring into the black eggs.
Lu Zhengkang tasted the taste of fire carefully. It was distinct from the void, but it could ignite the energy of the soul.
The total consciousness builds a tall torch next to the root of the void, injects flames, and infuses soul energy.
"Teng!"
The fire was soaring into the sky, red and bright like flowers, illuminating half of the dream.
The moment the flame was lit, Lu Zhengkang's dream world shook, as if some kind of power was coming.
A giant whale swimming in dreams, a divided dream world, a scarlet realm.
Wherever the flames burn, the scarlet will will manifest.
A beating heart appears above the torch.
Dream words emerged.
"Nightmares reward those who run for fire!"
"Draw power and knowledge from the scarlet!"
"Say what you want and the nightmare will be satisfied!"
A suspended platform appeared under the heart. A certain sub-consciousness stood on the platform, raised his head and shouted: "What is the secret of the Crystal Mountain Peak?"
The heart beat twice, a little blood leaked out, and dripped onto the conscious body.
Memories pour in.
…
The sky is filled with stars and three bright moons. The night sky here is clean and beautiful.
From the cracks in the earth, black mist rises, flies into the sky, and blocks the stars.
The light disappeared from the earth.
But it's not completely extinct.
Light is stored in crystals.
Flame burning produces light.
Biological respiration lights up fluorescently.
Thunder has light.
Bright blood has light.
These lights were worshiped by the insects on the ground and turned into gods.
Radiation was born in the crystal.
Scarlet was born from the flames.
Powerful bugs such as the White Lady have their own light and are revered.
The God of Thunder and the God of Falling Rain, their figures are blurred.
Blue blood, the blood of life, the original is the supreme.
There is more than one light in the crystal. The brightest and most transparent one is the radiation, but there are also those that are dimmed by refraction, such as the split light, the source of the radiation.
If you split the light and accumulate it, you can breed the radiant light.
Therefore, the crystal will never die and the radiation will never die.
The efforts of Lu Zhengkang and the little knight only gave the insect kingdom temporary stability.
…
The flame goes out and the scarlet will leaves.
Root of the Void releases Green.
The bat was stunned for a long time, and then hurriedly tried to escape from Lu Zhengkang's dream.
The seal did not stop him, and Green left as easily as he had entered inexplicably.
In reality, thin red smoke poured out of Lu Zhengkang's head and gathered in one place, but what appeared was not Green, but Little Green.
His strength has been drained too much and he really can't maintain his mature form.
Little Green screamed and looked very unwilling. Lu Zhengkang went up and grabbed his head.
Green shook twice and didn't dare to move.
It is certainly useful for Lu Zhengkang to keep Green.
In the dream, the general consciousness extinguishes the flame because it is afraid that being affected by the Scarlet Will, one's dream world may be dragged into the Scarlet Dream.
But he didn't want to give up the scarlet knowledge, so he had to leave a kindling so that he could light the torch again when needed.
Green is this kind of fire. As one of the people of Scarlet, his mind is very good, but his strength is not strong enough.
Lu Zhengkang found Bloom while carrying Little Green, "Let's go, let's end all this."
Bloom looked at him in surprise, and then stared at little Green for a while. Green made an angry yak sound, still like a kitten.
"You did it. Well, let's set off before they react." He flattened the insect instrument and tied it to his waist. Then he went behind the curtain and took out a torch stake, and made a gesture to signal the departure.
.
They sneaked out of the troupe and came to Whistling Cliffs. In that cave, the fire was burning.
Bloom sighed: "What we want to harvest will desecrate this dark and silent kingdom, so in fact we are the blasphemers, and you," he looked at Lu Zhengkang, "are the protectors of the kingdom. Let us
Let's end this."
He pointed to the iron platform on the ground, "Destroy this anchor point, this pillar, and banish the troupe!" Then he stabbed the end of the torch stake into the iron platform.
Bang!
Light burst out, the iron platform cracked, explosive flames spurted out, and sparks flew everywhere. Lu Zhengkang slashed at the flames with his sword, as if he was cutting a wooden stake, until the invisible resistance shattered, and the scarlet fire pillar was released, rushing
Into the sky.
When the insects in the troupe saw the pillar of fire, they laughed slyly, got back into the tent, and smoke rose.
When the pillar of fire receded, the smoke dispersed, and the troupe disappeared.
On Lu Zhengkang's side, there was a burst of bright light, and he was knocked away by the shock wave. When he managed to stand still, the light fell silent, the place returned to darkness, the torch pile went out, and the iron platform disappeared.
Bloom disappeared, replaced by an insect without a mask. His arms were thin, his face was fair, and his horns were short and cute. However, the red scarf showed that this insect was actually Bloom, but he was just trying to break away from Green.
Bound Bloom.
At this time, Little Green was lying on the ground pretending to be dead. Lu Zhengkang walked over, picked him up, and placed him on his cylindrical head.
Bloom stood up unsteadily, and the first thing he did was touch the insect instrument at his waist. After confirming that it was intact, he sighed comfortably, and then he saw Lu Zhengkang.
"Ah, hello! My friend, it's so nice to see you in this darkness. My name is Akiko! I am a traveling musician."
"Oh, okay, Akiko, do you remember what just happened?"
"Uh, I don't know. I may have some amnesia. Can you take me away from here? I want to go to a populated town... I have walked too far and want to stop and have a rest."
He stared at Lu Zhengkang with his black bean-like eyes, "Isn't this an embarrassing thought? Or if you are too busy, I can go find the town myself."
"Let's go, we're leaving now."
Lu Zhengkang returned to Dirtmouth with Mingzi.
After the troupe left, the place returned to a quiet and desolate scene, but with a more peaceful temperament.
Akiko was very happy to see the strange insect, and went to chat with the insect elder.
Lu Zhengkang sat down on the bench and looked sideways at the crystal mountain peaks that reached the dome.
Isn't Radiant dead?
There is another ancient god, Split Light.
This time the road is particularly difficult.
But Lu Zhengkang knew that he was longing for this adventure with all his heart.
He was stunned.
The music of the accordion lingered in my ears.
Mingzi walked up to him, holding the insect instrument in his hand, "What's wrong, friend, are you unhappy? Listen to the beautiful melody... Oh, by the way," he stopped playing and took out his left hand from his big scarf.
A talisman was handed to Lu Zhengkang.
Carefree melody.
A token of friendship.
Contains a song of protection that may protect the bearer from harm.
Lu Zhengkang put it away carefully, "Thank you..."
He was about to say a few more words when suddenly, a familiar breath came from the underground crossroads.
It's Nati and Paya, their transformation is complete.
