So Lu Li handed the boy's body to the spider guards and asked them to bury him somewhere where he would not be disturbed.
The spider guard told Lu Li that the church in Dark Star City had a cemetery where the boy's body could be buried - to compensate for the previous unexpected attack.
After leaving the shack, Lu Li continued to wander around the city and come into contact with weird things.
This was not the only attack Lu Li had suffered before. When he was sinking to the edge of Dark Star City, a group of poor people attacked him. However, there was no conspiracy, they were purely attracted by Lu Li's aura.
Soon, the third, fourth, and fifth attacks followed.
Firewood has a fatal attraction for weirdness, which is enough to break the constraints of order on them.
The spider guards following Lu Li and their attitudes behind them are worth pondering - they ignored Lu Li's behavior, valued his safety, and ignored the weirdness of the attack.
Lu Li seemed to have transformed into a scavenger, helping Dark Star City clean up unstable factors.
——When he realized this, Lu Li, who sought help from Dark Star City, took the initiative to wander around and help this potential ally clean up the weirdness.
Finally, Lu Li, who had brought a lot of trouble to Dark Star City, was summoned by the royal city.
The Mother Goddess of Dark Star City summoned him.
Lu Li stopped, raised his eyes, and looked into the distance.
A snow-white royal city stands on the top of a dark underground mountain.
The Spider Mother Goddess is waiting quietly, on the top of the dark dark star.
…
Lu Li followed the spider guards into the royal city.
On the slope leading to the top of the mountain, the royal city is like a castle made of building blocks, sometimes sparse and sometimes dense, surrounding the mountain peak.
His breath gradually exhaled white mist.
It wasn't because of the cold that the spider silk floating in the air as densely as dust melted under his hot breath.
Lu Li didn't need to breathe, letting air circulate in his lungs was just a human habit. So he no longer exhaled the white mist because he was worried that the spider silk would become parasitic in his body.
Stepping into the dark royal city inlaid with fluorite, a halo of light appeared behind Lu Li, and he walked along the winding and quiet passages accompanied by the sound of crawling.
The dusty corridor is covered with layers of dense spider webs, which are as blurry as the complicated hieroglyphics on the reliefs. The floor tiles under your feet are also covered with white spider silk, as if you are deep into a spider nest——
Considering that the owner of Dark Star City is called the Spider Mother Goddess, and the Royal City is the residence of the Spider Mother Goddess, Lu Li is indeed stepping into the spider lair.
Through the complex sloping passage, a dark hall emerges at the end.
The spider guards stayed in the passage, and only Lu Li walked into the hall.
An oval crystal emitting cool fluorescence is embedded in the darkness deep in the hall. It is so huge that the entire wall of this vast hall that is tens of meters high and hundreds of meters wide is embedded in it.
In front of the giant crystal, Lu Li saw the Spider Princess who was cleanly washed and wearing a robe as soft as gauze.
At this time, Lu Li felt the vast gaze——
Gaze at the giant crystal behind the tiny spider princess.
That's one eye, an insignificant eye among the spider's countless complex eyes.
The spider princess standing in front of her eyes looked stiff and unnatural as she was possessed, and her low voice echoed in the dark hall.
"I see fear in your skull..."
While I was still thinking about the meaning of this sentence, the low hum sounded again.
"Who keeps talking nonsense? I cut the sin for every murderer, but the flesh on their heads and chests screams..."
"I asked for snow, but my mother gave me a plague and countless tombstones..."
"The severe cold burned me to death, and the snowflakes cooked every inch of my skin. I sat in my nest and slowly melted..."
As disorderly and unrelated whispers sounded, Lu Li realized that the Spider Mother Goddess and the Spider Princess had the same chaotic thinking.
"My memory is missing...I realize I am dead..."
"Since God left, believers have chanted long hymns loudly..."
"Believers firmly and devoutly believe in their gods. But because they have lost the whereabouts of their gods, they are lost in the eternal nothingness..."
"Blood and fire bring death and destruction..."
The disorderly ravings are occasionally interspersed with whispers that sound like proverbs, predictions, or revelations.
And Lu Li noticed that the crystal eyes were fading and becoming pale. Correspondingly, the murmuring spider girl was gradually becoming more beautiful——
For spiders, brighter colors mean more deadly poison.
"A child who does not want to leave his mother will eventually return to his mother's arms..."
Click——
A crack suddenly appeared in the gray and fragile giant eye. The crack spread and spread, densely filling the entire compound eye, and then turned into ashes in the sudden collapse.
"The Spider Goddess disappeared?"
Lu Li couldn't feel the oppression of that being. And as the spider princess, whose body seemed to be covered in paint, opened her pale eyes, similar pressure appeared again.
"Send blood into the swamp..."
The Spider Mother Goddess talked to Lu Li face-to-face for the first time.
"What do you want?"
There is no such thing as help without a reason. There is a reason for Dark Star City to help the Land of Light fight against the Swamp.
"Allow us to survive here..."
Lu Li is qualified to make decisions for this world: "I promise you."
Dark Star City is a more suitable trade partner than any ally.
The premise is that they solve the crisis and don't let the swamp engulf the world.
Lu Li approached the Spider Princess in front of the ashes, and then stopped. Because as he got closer, he was dyed with the Spider Princess's brilliant colors, and his skin and flesh collapsed like a candle.
As Lu Li kept his distance, his melted facial features returned to their original state.
An empty corridor appeared at the edge of the dark hall, and Lu Li and the poisonous spider princess left the royal city from there.
The spider princess is no longer exuding poison all the time. Wherever it passes, the rocks and sand are stained with weird and twisted colors. Above everything, it shines with weird light, constructing a twisted rainbow with indescribable colors.
.
Even if he was just close to this rainbow light, Lu Li would fall into the pain of melting his body and soul again. But in the distortion of the moment of melting, Lu Li suddenly glimpsed the true color behind the rainbow light.
Indescribable brilliant colors fill the melting turbid eyes, indescribable and beyond imagination. As mysterious as the universe and as vast as the starry sky.
The Spider Mother Goddess turns her power into colors, and carries the colors as the last bloodline spider princess.
It seems that nothing in this world can be dyed with color. Even if the dreamland is close, it will be dyed with a rainbow light in an instant, collapse and melt.
From this, Lu Li realized why the Spider Mother God wanted Lu Li to live here - because they came from the stars.
Lu Li kept his distance from the Spider Princess, walked in front of her, and left Dark Star City along the special passage.
Just as they were about to drill into the rock formation and return to the surface, the echoing bells echoed over the underground city.
Lu Li looked back at the prosperous and towering Dark Star City.
The ancient bells are ringing, and strange times are coming.
