I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones
Page 379
It feels to Lu Jian, as if the sonar is exploring something.
Suddenly, the tremor of the earth resonated with the tremor of the pillar.
The next moment, Lu Jian saw that the nearby sand began to undulate, as if something was about to come out, and it was about to come under the sun.
"The big one is coming?"
Lu Jian asked subconsciously.
Immediately afterwards, something broke out of the ground. It was a huge worm. Its body was dark yellow in gravel, and its skin was rough, but it gave off a soft and unnatural feeling. According to Lu Jian's visual inspection, this worm was at least larger than It is 20 meters long and nearly one meter in diameter. Its mouthparts are like lampreys, and it is full of fine teeth. There are many gravels between these teeth. It seems that it swallows gravel for a living.
As soon as the bug got out, Lu Jian saw that Shu Su pulled out the knife on his back.
The knife in the young man's hand looked as if it had been carved from the bones of some kind of creature, it was dull all over, only the edge was glowing.
The crystals on his arm lit up at the same time, like the faint blue glow of stars making the surroundings even darker.
The boy rushed towards the big bug with a knife.
Only then did Lu Jian know why his name was Setsuna.
Not because he seized the future, but because he was too fast.
Raising the knife with the hand and falling, at a speed that cannot be captured by the naked eye, the simple knife sank into the rough skin surface of the worm, drawing a long opening, and the huge worm twitched because of this, but the fine teeth could not catch it. to the target.
In Lu Jian's [True Vision], Shan Mo's actions were broken down, and only then did Lu Jian realize that with the crystallization on his arm lighting up, Shan Mo's whole body seemed to have entered a special state, and his whole body glowed blue. Within this light, his movements were accelerated, or in other words, the movements of everything other than him were slowed down, which gave Setsuna a gap to easily avoid the worm attack.
If this child appeared in Lu Yi's world, he would probably be able to get the title of Flash or Quicksilver.
The worm's wound gushed out a pale juice, and the juice fell into the sand, and soon soaked the ground, turning the sand into a deep black.
Then, the singer pulled the neckline, revealing the necklace-like crystal at the throat, and then opened his mouth, and began to sing loudly.
She is using a language that Lu Yi doesn't understand, or maybe it's meaningless words at all. Although she sings a cappella, she can hear the melodious melody. In this singing, it seems that all the despair and haze are swept away. And empty, refreshing, happy mood.
Accompanied by the singing, the worm's wound showed signs of deterioration, and more white and greasy juice sprayed out from the wound, as if the singing had pulled the wound open and pulled out more flesh and blood from it.
The big gray worm kept struggling, trying to get back to the ground, but Shuang Xin didn't know when she came to the side of the worm.
Regardless of the filthiness of the flesh and blood, she directly inserted her hand into the torn wound.
A chill bloomed from Frost Heart's palm and spread along with the wound.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the bug was frozen.
The cold frost covered the surface of the bug, and the splashed juice solidified in mid-air, and a gorgeous flower bloomed on the desert.
At this time, the morning in the wilderness really came, the sun shone from the other side of the horizon, and the ice crystals reflected the light, shining brightly.
click-
Frost Heart pulled her hand out from the frozen insect corpse, and she could see that her palm was red, which was the trace of slight frostbite.
Lu Jian also knows why she is called Shuangxin.
Her heart is probably like a piece of frost.
"Hurry up, we will set off with enough water supplies."
Shuang Xin said, and at the same time pulled out the black pillar.
"This thing can emit a sound of a certain frequency to attract this kind of worms, and these worms have the water we need in their bodies."
Seeing Lu Jian's puzzled look, Shuang Xin shook the pillar in her hand.
"Get water from them?"
Lu Jian looked at the frozen monster body fluids, feeling a little disgusted.
"Don't worry, these bugs have water storage bags in their bodies. They collect the water in them by chewing the sand, so they have a lot of clean water in their bodies, which can be used for human consumption as long as they are boiled."
Frostheart explained that she had already taken out the pickaxe from her backpack, knocked open the frozen worms, and took out the huge ice cubes with the other two.
When the ice was chipped off, the temperature had risen a lot, and the frozen worms were gradually melting.
They only took part of the water, and counting the rest, it was enough for a week's reserve, and the rest gradually sank into the desert and disappeared.
"Something has to be left for other creatures."
Shuang Xin looked at the disappearing corpse and muttered to herself.
===487. A city without windows===
"The ecology here is like this."
"Every creature has its own place in this desert, and as long as it is not overhunted, it can always continue."
Sitting on the camel worm, Shuang Xin looked at the blue sky ahead and said.
"I once had the opportunity to see the records of the city-state library and read materials about human social life before the catastrophe. At that time, the whole world was full of green trees, mountains, lakes, and plains. I can only use these words from To understand from the records of words and pictures.”
"When I saw those records, I had some longing and some heartache. What I longed for was such a beautiful world, but what hurt my heart was that the human beings at that time didn't know how to cherish and destroyed everything."
"That's why I want to study the swarm, find their weaknesses, and wipe them out completely."
Hearing Shuang Xin's words, Lu Jian remained silent.
The reason why the wasteland world has become like this may really have little to do with human beings' actions. The foreign lands under the gaze of the evil gods are doomed, and what humans do or don't do will not help.
It's all the same.
As for whether the wasteland can completely wipe out the swarms, Lu Jian is not clear. The world can finally rely on the efforts of researchers like Shuangxin to finally wipe out the swarms, and continue the desolate but vibrant present, or be completely swallowed by the swarms , squeezed dry, leaving only long yellow sand.
The four of them headed towards the location recorded on the map. About four days later, at the end of the horizon, a small ruin appeared in their field of vision.
The ruins were much smaller than the cities that Lu Jian had seen before. At a glance, they were only about the size of a regular university campus, and they looked more like facilities than cities or small towns.
I don't know if it's because of the weathering. There are no tall buildings or large open spaces in the ruins, only low houses.
And unlike ordinary ruins, the houses here don't look too damaged, as if they have been maintained by someone.
Lu Jian's [True Vision] looked over, and due to lack of understanding, he could only use it as a telescope.
Seeing this, Lu Jian was a little surprised.
Because those buildings have no windows and are completely surrounded by walls. In reality, he has only seen such configurations in some research institutes that need to be isolated.
"Where did you get the information on this location?"
Lu Jian couldn't help asking.
"The records in the library, some materials will record some special locations, and the city-state will send people to investigate, and some are ruins."
The singer answered truthfully.
"The ruins look new and questionable."
Lu Bian reminded.
"Very new?"
Shuang Xin frowned and glanced at Lu Jian.
"I have good eyesight and can see clearly. You see, those buildings have no windows, and the walls are not damaged. They don't look like ruins at all."
Lu Jian pointed.
"Does anyone live?"
Su Mo guessed.
"In this kind of place, will there be someone?"
The singer felt something was wrong.
"I don't think it's possible, maybe it's the swarm."
Lu Jian said along the way, he can't see a single bug right now, he is not sure.
"How about this, I run fast, I go to see the situation first?"
So, he made a suggestion to go and see it by himself first. If there are insect swarms, use cats and cats to finish the job. If there are no insect swarms, you can search this weird place.
"I will go with you."
Frostheart said.
Lu Yi wanted to refuse, but after thinking about Shuangxin's ability, maybe he could help when encountering a large number of bugs, so he didn't refuse again.
Singer and Setsuna stayed in the distance and garrisoned, while Lu Jian and Shuangxin rode camel bugs to the edge of the ruins.
Observing closely, Lu Jian became more certain of his previous guess. The surface of the building was only covered with a layer of light dust, and the traces of weathering were not obvious. In simple terms, there must be something taking care of it.
Another thing is that the ruins still have walls.
Ordinary cities have open roads and no walls will be built, but this place is obviously not an ordinary city building, it is more like a demarcated area.
Although they could get in through the wall, Lu Yi and Shuang Xin still found the gate.
The writing on the door is illegible and appears to have been burned.
Walking into the wall, the distribution of these buildings appears in the seriousness of land stumbling.
In his words, it is very similar to those industrial parks or university towns in his world.
The specifications of the buildings are similar, and they exist in blocks. For example, the building near the gate is like an office hall, with only two floors and a spacious entrance.
The building a little farther away is a four-story building without any windows.
Shuang Xin had just taken two steps, and was about to enter the office hall to investigate, when suddenly, a voice sounded from the street.
She and Lu Jian immediately squatted down and hid.
"...somewhat familiar."
Lu Jian looked around and saw a box moving slowly on the street covered with a layer of wind and sand.
The box is cylindrical in shape, reaching only to the waist of an ordinary person, and has a metallic texture. The lower part, except for the tracks, is a constantly rotating wheel with brushes.
This is an advanced sweeping robot.
Lu Jian is not sure if there is such a thing in his world. He has seen that kind of sweeper. This thing is like a miniature version of the sweeper. It makes the sound of the motor running, sweeps the street, and makes it clean.
