Two hundred and fifty-one. The end of the land dweller firm incident
"Have you thought of a way out?"
"What a way out."
"The strange and offensive land inhabiting the nest is also attacking you. Do you have a way to escape from the strange tide?"
"I'll lead them to the swamp."
"What about you?"
"I will find a way to come back alive."
"You know... Over the past few hundred years, the long years have made me realize that all the emotions I have ever had will change. Some are stronger, some fade, but just like reading the most emotionally touching stories, you will be happy because of the plot.
Anger, sorrow, and joy, but that has transformed into another story that will not make you feel the same..."
"I still remember my father and country, poets and guards, wars and killings, but when I recall the past I will only think of 'they are my memories', which will not make me immersed in the past and find it difficult to break free and give up on myself."
Before entering the world of merchants, Swamp Mother spoke to Lu Li. But Lu Li, who knew what Swamp Mother wanted to express, did not answer.
Return to the dim world in front of you.
Taking the initiative to enter the swamp is like throwing yourself into a trap and crawling into the mouth of a monster.
Because of this, Midnight City was swallowed up by the swamp.
Lu Li entered the other world, but the swamp also existed in the deep world. He could only skirt the swamp along the edge in a blink of an eye and reach the other end.
Lu Li hoped that Gray Mist's mother could go straight through the swamp to find him.
Gray Mist Mother did indeed do this: as if a syringe had pierced the eggshell and filled it with ink, and the floating obscurity spread in the dim world.
But repeating the same tricks as in the earth dweller's lair won't work in the swamp. The spread of gray fog is slowing down and is diluted by the dim world.
Mother Gray Mist was suppressed by the swamp.
Before the swamp retaliates, Lu Li rises to the surface to keep his distance.
Because there is a swamp across the land, the strangeness that Lu Li faced surged from the old sewers into a converging wave above the surface.
The earth dwellers were destroyed, the swamp was unable to fight, and Lu Li, who had managed to deal with the enemy perfectly, should leave.
It's just that you can't go back directly. Even those who fall asleep will leave obvious traces, as if they were wasted, which may bring disaster to the Land of Light.
But it seems like a good idea to bring disaster to other enemies.
Apart from the Dweller Trading Company and the swamps, Lu Li had no clear enemies - because they were everywhere.
The former has been destroyed, and the latter is difficult to resist even if it is weird. If it continues to lure weirdness, it will only be like a sheepdog leading sheep to wolves.
And there is no point in clearing aimlessly. The land that has uprooted the weeds will soon be overgrown with grass again.
It seems possible to clean up Midnight City, but only as if. Attracting the weirdos will only replace a batch of weirdos in Midnight City, and activating the alchemy tower requires risk - there is no longer a body for Lu Li to consume, and there is no longer a contract.
Drag the soul to hell.
And neither the threat of the swamp nor the empty Midnight City makes activating the Alchemy Tower pointless.
What if the Alchemy Tower is brought back to the Land of Light?
Lu Li thought, but before that, he used the rock layer to temporarily block the monsters from approaching and summoned the merchants to have the Land of Light quickly compile a "death list".
He will bring strange things like a plague to the enemy's territory.
While waiting, Lu Li approached a dead tree root rooted in the rock formation and gave it a human touch.
Joy and joy soon emerged, but they were only emotions belonging to the tree itself, and there was no awakening or birth of the consciousness called "World Tree".
What was revived was only a tree called the "World Tree".
After realizing this, Lu Li stopped the transmission and looked at the merchant who brought back the news.
The answer of the Land of Light is "no". The new Land of Light is only connected with the merchant houses of the earth dwellers.
And the merchant delivers the Swamp Mother's answer: "Come back alive."
Although it was not difficult for Lu Li to get rid of the weird entanglement, as long as all the humanity was dispersed, the weirdness that had lost its purpose would only linger in the place where the aura finally dissipated.
But Lu Li also wanted to do one more thing.
Lu Li, who was hiding in the underground rocks, appeared in the sky above Midnight City. The halo illuminated the earth from behind. Ignoring the activated alchemy tower, Lu Li appeared in front of the silent alchemy tower.
The person in the dream can't affect the alchemy tower, but the earth can. The ground arches and cracks, the surrounding houses collapse, the rubble rolls down, scar-like deep pits emerge on the surface, and a floating island holding up the alchemy tower slowly rises.
rising.
As the strange scream gradually became clearer, Lu Li and the alchemy tower floating next to him suddenly disappeared. A light spot vaguely appeared in the distance, and then disappeared into the darkness.
Two minutes later, Lu Li approached the dark coast of the Main Continent.
The dreamer no longer holds up the floating island, and the broken giant falls to the sea.
The soil cushioned the impact of the alchemy tower, and the huge waves gradually engulfed the top of the tower.
Throwing the Alchemy Tower on the seabed on the coast will not bring disaster to the Land of Light, and it will also make it easier to bring the Alchemy Tower back later.
Before the strange tribes and terrifying beings in the deep sea arrived, Lu Li landed on the shallows and summoned the merchant, telling him his next plan: "I am going to go to the north, to the other side of the world's Back Ridge Mountains."
The original darkness comes from the north, an unknown place that humans have not yet explored.
As long as darkness covers the earth and never disappears, mankind will never be able to get out of the land of light.
The dark water stirred up strange huge waves, encroaching on the beach layer by layer, and something approached from the bottom of the sea.
But before it surfaced, Lu Li had disappeared on the coast.
In the darkness, human nature overflows with the flickering of the land. When they fall into the soil, life emerges on the earth, forming an intermittent path of flowers and plants.
Lu Li did not hide in the other world, hoping to climb the mountain range on the back of the world with some "help", and even stop occasionally to wait for them to catch up.
The blooming green on the earth made Lu Li think about it: the souls of demons return to hell after death, and will the scattered humanity return to the world?
"The Exotic Land Development of Vegetable-Growing Skeletons"
Does the world need them?
It's a pity that these beautiful places will soon wither away again and be occupied by weirdness.
Passing through several weird nest towns, the weird ones are out in force, but are gradually left behind. And when they return, they may find that their nests have been occupied.
A few minutes later, Lu Li looked into the distance.
He should be close to the Goss Plain at the foot of the World's Back Mountains, but there are no long and steep mountains and beholder worms floating in the sky in the dark depths.
Lu Li, who realized something strange, stopped, and at this moment, a mist that could not be dispersed briefly enveloped him.
When the fog faded, Lu Li saw a painting, or rather the frame of the painting was fading away.
Painting of evil spirits astray.
Those who step into it will lose their way and move in the opposite direction without realizing it until they realize that they have lost their way——
At the same time, Lu Li heard the noise of waves crashing against the rocks.
The halo penetrated the darkness like a searchlight, illuminating the entire scene for miles around: broken reef islands spread all around.
This is not the Dorsal Mountains of the World, but the Lennon Islands.
