Chapter 348: The Scrivener's Scheming
The Swire technology, which was fueled by the body and life energy of dragons, really made Lu Xiu excited for a while. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In Xuelin Village, the villagers' homes can only use firewood for cooking, and the lighting is only torches and oil lamps. Thinking of the glorious times of the Old World, the boy looked forward to the journey to the ruins.
What's more, Zhuang Dusk spared no effort to explain on the way that as long as the fierce treasure in the ruins was properly handled, the crisis in the hunting ground would be solved, and the dragonmen would be able to find their companions more efficiently - the action of killing two birds with one stone, of course, no one would refuse.
"All in all, the exploration that consumed the entire precious Beacon Stone paid off on the same day," Baibei said, "The Stone has given a stronger reaction than the high-level dragon species, and based on the intelligence available, it is speculated that this may be the largest relic we have ever unearthed." β
"Is it all just speculation?" Lu Xiu sensed the uncertainty in Bai Bei's words.
"Stupid, it's good to have a guess, do you know how difficult it is to unearth a historical site in the New World?" Lu Yingying said angrily.
When the New World began to enter the field of vision of civilization, it was already the early Middle Ages, and countless wanderers, explorers, and careerists who were displaced in the First Man-Dragon War poured in, which gave this land the breath of human beings, and almost all the ruins that could be excavated on this continent were left at that time. Most of them were early human walled cities and villages that were destroyed in the struggle against the monsters of the New World, but because the civilization was in a period of depression at that time, it was rare to see the technological products that make today's humans shine, and at most they were only used by archaeological scriveners to supplement the historical timeline.
"But this time is different, the wreck may be carrying a large number of ancient scientific and technological products, or maybe just an alloy fragment, which can bring a leap forward in the current technology." Lu Yingying's eyes were already full of little stars, "It may not only be the largest ruins, but it may even be the earliest batch of ruins in the New World, and its value is immeasurable." β
"Hehe, we're not sure how much it's worth." Zhuang Dusk seemed to be taboo about something, and quickly changed the topic. He shook his head and said, "However, the abnormal movement of the monsters on the hunting ground may be caused by the newly leaked murderous creatures in the ruins, and if it is allowed to wreak havoc here, the monsters of the entire swamp will probably be driven away, and the ecology of the hunting grounds in the south of the continent may be affected." β
"It's really ...... that the scientific and technological products of thousands of years ago can achieve this level of effect" Lu Yingying sighed half of her emotion, and her eyes suddenly became slightly suspicious, "Strange ......"
"Did you think of anything?" Bai Bei raised the glowing metal rod in his hand a little higher, the fog near here was already much weaker than the road ahead, and the man in white could see things two hundred meters away under the illumination of the light.
"Uh...... It's nothing," the girl's eyes rolled, and her voice lowered, "I haven't drunk much water today......"
Although the little scholar's voice was small, it was enough for Zhuang Du to hear it, and the latter asked a little embarrassedly, "Miss Lu, do you want to ...... Belch...... A small solution? β
The girl glanced at the young man in black, but quickly turned her head away, and said in a muttered voice, "Hmm." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Xiao Xie is Xiao Jie, what are you pulling me to do?" Lu Xiu said with a look of disgust. The two were behind a small bush more than 100 meters away from the seniors, Lu Yingying didn't know what they were thinking, and refused the request of the two seniors to protect them, but they just dragged themselves to accompany them - obviously they are all men, even if they are really afraid of the sneak attack of monsters, they should be called Baibei seniors.
"Don't be verbose, bring the kettle." Although the girl's face was full of crimson with shame, she couldn't help but untie the kettle on Lu Xiu's body, shook most of the pot of water inside, and squatted down with Lu Xiu on her back, "Lower your voice, at this distance, I'm not sure if the two of them will hear it." β
"Bai Bei and the stake seniors?" Driven by the girl, the little dragon man also lowered his voice, "What are you afraid of them hearing?" β
"They have a problem." The little scribe unscrewed the lid of the kettle and poured the water on the ground, muffling the voices of the two of them, "I've always felt this way, and it was just confirmed. β
"They're bad guys?" Da Ma scratched his head, "No, the two seniors only instructed me in martial arts all the way, so I don't look like a bad guy." β
"Dumb meat!" Lu Yingying said in a humble voice, "Just for you, they will guide you in martial arts for three days and three nights, and you will not become a threat to themβdon't you think the timing of these two people's appearance is too coincidental?" β
If you talk about doubts, Lu Xiu does have some in his heart. The two seniors rushed to the rescue when they were at their most dangerous, and they did not hesitate to help the two children, and they also carried a lot of valuable hunting ground information, but they were vague about their origins. During this journey, the two of them seemed to be involved in all the decisions, but when they thought about it, they found that the two teenagers had been led by their noses all the time, and accepted all their proposals under the guidance of the two.
But Lu Xiu grew up in the simple Xuelin Village, and always treated his companions with the greatest kindness, it is a fact that the two of them saved their lives, and the information they put forward seemed to be true and credible, and the young man did not know what to suspect.
"Fierce Treasure." The girl spat out two words, "I was also confused by their words before, until the fool named Wooden Stake uttered his guess about the Murderous Treasure - from the primeval times to the present, there has never been a technology in the world that can drive away monsters indiscriminately, and they are lying." β
"Civilization was so advanced at that time, how could you be sure that you couldn't make such a thing?" Luciu looked back at the girl.
"Don't look back! It will be discovered! Lu Yingying turned around and put a foot on Lu Xiu's calf, "Why do you think the Human Dragon War broke out?" Humans need land and resources, but they can only get it by slaughtering monsters. If there was a way to drive away all the monsters in an area without bloodshed, the primeval era would never pass. β
Even if the key technology can't completely subvert the course of history, it is enough to bring enough impact to it, and Lu Yingying, who is familiar with these theories, even saw the clue: "It is impossible for the technology of 10,000 years ago to affect all the monsters in this area, and there must be other reasons for the change in the swamp." I guess that's where they lied to usβthe cause of the change that they don't want to mention must be dangerous for them, and I guess they're even going to use us as a shield in the event of danger. β
"It can't be such an exaggeration, can it?" Lu Xiu's mouth was dry for a while.
"I'm an expert in this field, do you trust them or do you trust me?" The girl kicked him again.
Seeing that the girl looked determined, Lu Xiu also believed ninety percent, and he hurriedly said, "That's ...... Let's run away now. β
The water in the kettle had been drained, and Lu Yingying lowered her voice, "No, the glow stick in the masked man's hand may also have the function of guiding the way, not to mention whether we can escape the pursuit of the two powerful hunters, that is, we have escaped, we have lost our sense of direction, and we are unable to move an inch in this quagmire-filled inner swamp." β
"What then?" The boy ran out of ideas.
"Let's go back and follow them all the way to the ruins and see what tricks come our way." The little scribe was silent for a few seconds, then decided, "But be very careful, and don't act rashly until you have figured out why they took the trouble to take us through the inner marsh." β
Lu Xiu scratched his head, he didn't even know what it meant to be "rash": "Wouldn't this be dangerous?" β
"My original intention when I left the team was to explore the shipwreck, this journey is always dangerous and abnormal, what is the difference between taking one mortal risk and two?" In the face of the truth, however, the little scribe showed great courage and composure.
"Anyway, it's just the same as it was just now." Lu Xiu didn't know how to answer, but secretly made up his mind to "no matter what, at least protect the girl in front of you", nodded in response.
"Ah, bugs!" The girl suddenly screamed softly for no apparent reason.
"Where?" The little dragon man hurriedly turned around to look for it.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Tell the two of them to be alone, nothing will go wrong, right?" Zhuang Du looked at the fog in the distance with some concern, and only two vague figures could be seen from here.
"They are all half-grown children, even if they are a little careful, what waves can they afford?" There is nothing to say about Baibei.
"Ahh Suddenly, the girl's voice pierced through the haze and reached the ears of the two, "What are you doing?" Look back, you pervert! β
"Heh," the corners of Zhuang Duan's mouth grinned, "that kid looks dumbfounded, but his mind is quite lively." β
