Chapter 327 Are You Awake?

As long as you are alive, you need light and fire.

This is the well-known survival code of the lamp tribe.

The Deng Yuan was dug out of the ground and lit up the crystal. This is what the senior Deng Clan told him.

"Use fire, and never forget fire."

Deng Yuan was still in a daze at the time and didn't understand anything.

It felt as if it had forgotten a lot of things and seemed familiar with everything around it, but in the end these all turned into indescribable confusion and disorder.

"Don't worry, every lamp clan comes here this way."

The senior held a bright lantern floating in the air and carried an iron pickaxe. The crystal on the top of its head shimmered. This was the way the lantern people expressed their smile: "When I woke up, I felt a splitting headache at first, and then I seemed to have forgotten Everything then begins to be confused by its own existence.”

"It's okay, get up, the fog beast will be here soon."

This senior named Deng Gu dug materials underground and found Deng Kite.

Deng Yuan felt puzzled. According to the common sense of the lamp clan, the lamp clan has been facing attacks and killings by ferocious fog beasts. Why was he not dragged out and eaten by the fog beasts when he was sleeping?

It's easier to deal with a sleeper that won't resist than to hunt an active lantern.

"Who knows?"

Deng Gu said: "There are many strange things in Fog Harbor. Why is there so much black fog? Why do they never dissipate? Why do the fog beasts attack the Deng tribe? Why are they afraid of the lights... Why do we exist?"

"no one knows."

"But there is one thing the Deng Clan must know: look forward."

The crystal on its head changes in brightness and darkness with the voice: "Survive first."

In this way, like other awakened Deng clan, Deng Yuan followed Deng Gu and entered a short period of learning and recovery.

At this stage, Deng Yuan learned a lot.

The life of the lantern people is mainly divided into two parts: searching and making lanterns, and everything revolves around these two cores.

Search for various materials and similar materials sleeping underground.

The population of the Deng Clan has always been small, less than three thousand people now. According to the oral accounts of the elders of the Deng Clan, their number reached tens of thousands when the Deng Clan was at its peak.

That was when the god [Firefly God] was still there, and the oracle would sometimes come with the iron and fire falling from the sky, bringing new guidance and hope to the lamp clan.

At this time, the apostle whose body is burning with fire will also interpret the lamp clan.

Unfortunately, as the gods disappeared in the world pot, the oracle never appeared again, the fog beasts became more unscrupulous, and the hanging lamp became the key to survival.

There must be enough materials to make a hanging lamp, and the kerosene or solid fuel inside must be replenished regularly.

The number of lanterns is constantly decreasing, partly due to attacks by fog beasts, and partly due to natural death.

The light of the crystal above the head comes from the self-burning of the lamp clan.

There is a long ridge of life in the body of the lantern tribe. This ridge of life is the core protected by the outer metal shell. The ridge of life allows the lantern tribe to think, communicate, and create.

But the Life Spine will burn slowly and illuminate the crystal lamp, which is also proof that the lamp clan is still alive.

With continuous consumption, this pillar of life will eventually collapse into fly ash, and the lamp tribe will also die.

Deng Yuan was still very curious.

If the life spine in the crystal is extinguished and a lamp clan is buried deep underground again, will it be possible to survive for a long time without being attacked by the fog beast?

This approach seems feasible.

After Deng Gu listened to Deng Yuan's words, the light in the crystal dimmed a little: "You are partly right."

"If you extinguish the Life Spine and fall into a deep sleep, it will indeed not attract the fog beasts. They will only attack the lamp tribe with burning characteristics..."

"But that doesn't mean it's safe."

It paused for a moment: "After falling asleep, the biggest enemy of the Deng Clan will become one of our own."

"Why is the population of the Deng tribe getting smaller and smaller? The external threat is the fog beast, and the internal reason is the hunting within the Deng tribe. This kind of hunting will not be exposed to the public environment, it is secretive and fast."

Deng Gu said in a cold tone: "The lamp clan that does not burn is the best ready-made material. No one will notice or care about the disappearance of a lamp clan that does not emit light."

"Even if it is a normally dying Deng Clan, the body will be coveted by many of the same kind. They are waiting for the day when the life spine of the deceased is completely turned into ashes...Without the deterrence of the Firefly God, many Deng Clan are even more unscrupulous, and those guys even directly Hunting the same kind. Anyway, no one will see it because of the black fog."

"Why haven't we given birth to a giant for many years? This is also one of the reasons. The lamp tribe is constantly declining and dying."

Deng Yuan shuddered after hearing this.

Likes are also enemies.

It also understood at this time why the lamp tribe mostly lived alone, because the same kind itself was a potential enemy and competitor.

The lantern clan has gone from a glorious clan of god-given lantern makers in the past, craftsmen and servants of the god whose mission was to create the sun, to a barbaric tribe where the order is constantly collapsing. The root cause is that the oracle does not appear, and the fire of faith in the god Swallowed by the world pot.

Deng Yuan boldly asked: "Then why did you wake me up instead of using me as material..."

"Of course I thought about it."

The crystals in the Valley of Lights flicker rhythmically.

This means it has a serious and formal attitude.

"But I won't do that."

"I was once a sleeping lamp clan and was helped by an elder of the lamp clan. It attracted the fog beasts when several lamp clan apostles dismembered me and scared those guys away."

"I will never forget the person who lit the fire for me, and I will continue to pass on the fire."

Deng Yuan was excited when he heard this.

There are still upright and brave people in the tribe.

"But it's funny."

The crystal of the lamp valley flickered, and said with a smile: "The elder is called Deng Cheng. It told me honestly that its hanging lamp was broken, so it saw the lamp tribe here and came to ask for help. As a result, everyone was scared away."

"It is not a great rescuer, but it saved me and lit the fire for me. This is what I think the lamp tribe should be like."

"We can be weak and afraid, but we should also have courage and persistence. Just like the masters in the past, create the sun and dispel the black fog. That is what we should do for ourselves and all the lamp tribes."

The crystal of the lamp valley burned like a flame, and it showed the burning color of its heart without hesitation.

Deng Yuan named himself [Yuan]. It heard that there is a tool called Yuan that can fly into the sky and soar above the fog. Yuan can freely overlook the earth and break away from the heavy power of the ground.

It wanted to create a brand new sky lantern.

Sky lanterns should not only provide illumination, but also lead the Lantern Clan through the sea of ​​fog where fog beasts gather and fly to the unknown distance, no matter what is waiting there.

Lantern Kite put all his energy into making sky lanterns.

It collected various materials and resources on the ground and underground, followed the craftsmanship and technology passed down by the masters in the past, and made a lot of new attempts.

Sky lanterns are essentially the advancement of hanging lanterns, but their scale and volume are hundreds of times that of the former.

To ensure the endurance of sky lanterns, it is best to use the advanced material omnipotent stone as support, which can ensure that both kerosene and solid fuel can be fully utilized, reduce consumption and enhance brightness.

Lantern Kite has received help from many Lantern Clan members, including suggestions on resources and technical processes, and even those who hunt their own kind.

For many years, no one has tried to make sky lanterns. It is difficult enough to just keep the hanging lanterns lit and alive.

At this time, Lantern Kite realized that the Lantern Clan itself is also complicated.

Darkness and light, filth and ideals, fighting spirit and negativity, these contradictory things exist in the Lantern Clan at the same time.

After many years, the sky lanterns shine in the sky again, and all the Lantern Clan members look up again. Under the bright and dazzling light, the crystals above their heads flicker with joyful flames.

Unlike in the past, this time the sky lanterns can also fly with Lantern Kite.

The sky lanterns fly higher and higher, as if lifted by invisible hands, rushing straight to the top of the black clouds.

The crystal of this Lantern Clan master is dim enough. It sits in a small wooden bucket connected to the sky lantern, watching the sky lantern slowly rise, break through the black fog, and enter a place it has never been.

It overlooks below.

The black fog forms an isolated black ocean under the wooden bucket. They are thick and dense, isolating the higher sky from the bottom, and above the black fog, there is a huge luminous body illuminating the boundless glow.

The Lantern Kite stares blankly at the golden heart of light.

It turned out that the sun was still there, but it was above the black fog, and the connection with the lanterns was cut off by the fog sea below. The clouds were white, and the surroundings were full of light.

The original appearance of the world made Deng Yuan excited.

I must tell everyone, I must tell everyone that this world is full of light and heat!

As long as the black fog is dispelled, everything will be fine!

But... how to go back?

This is a journey that has never been thought of returning, because when Deng Yuan was tied to the sky lantern, it had no such plan, and it was exhausted and could not return at all.

Just as it was thinking hard, the entire sky lantern was suddenly pulled by an indescribable force and entered a world of strange lights.

Deng Yuan fell into a kind of suffocation for a while, and it seemed to have returned to its original muddled sleeping state.

Is it going to die?

This is the feeling of death... I am really unwilling, I am unwilling...

The world became shaky, and it became like a piece of wood chips falling into the sea of ​​clouds, swaying constantly and falling with the waves.

The violent shock caused by the collision made Deng Yuan suddenly come back to his senses.

He first looked at his hands.

The line was still tightly wrapped in his hands.

So the sky lantern was still there... I'm back! Back to Wugang!

Great!

Deng Yuan struggled to get up, but found that his body was completely out of control.

His body was severely damaged, and the metal structure of his hands and feet were even in pieces.

"Are you awake?"

A man wrapped in silver armor looked down at Deng Yuan on the ground.

"Who are you...?"

Deng Yuan had never seen such a person before, and the surroundings were even brighter, the light was so strong that it was dazzling and unreal, and the ground was full of precious pure gravel.

There were also several strange creatures around the armored man, some of them were very small and had tails, and some were very tall, wrapped in some kind of cloth... They whispered, but Deng Yuan couldn't understand what they said at all.

Only the armored man could understand what he said.

"Where is this place?" Deng Yuan asked while enduring the pain.

"This is Yunzhong Temple, where Lord Yaoshen shines. You are now falling outside the Sand City."

The other party seemed very happy: "I didn't expect to see the Lantern Clan in this way. You must have suffered a lot to get here, right?"

Deng Yuan was shocked: "You know the Lantern Clan, are there still Lantern Clan here?"

"Yes, I am one of them."

The armored man patted his chest, making a metallic sound.

"My name is Deng Cheng, but I have been dead for many years. I am lucky enough to be taken into the world of Lord Yao."

Light ride?

Deng Yuan suspected that all this was an illusion at the time of death: "Do you know Deng Valley?"

"Denggu... seems to have some impression."

The other party seemed to be lost in memories: "Ah, I remembered it. It was a lantern clan I once lit and awakened. Do you know it? Is it still okay?"

"It has been dead for a long time..."

Deng Yuan said with some melancholy.

"The brightness of the crystal is not enough, you are very weak now." The person who claimed to be a lamp rider observed it and said: "Here, put it on the steam carriage and send it back to Shacheng for repair and treatment."

"I know you have a lot of questions now. Let's do it one by one. You should take a rest first and don't burn yourself too much."

Deng Yuan said calmly: "My spine of life has been burned out and I will die soon."

The other party said: "This place is full of fire and light. You are still alive and well, and you will continue to live."

"How can it be……"

"nothing is impossible."

Deng Cheng said in a firm and confident tone: "I said, this is the world illuminated by Yao God. In Shacheng, death is just another beginning."

"What's more, there are almighty stones and magic oil here, which can help the Life Spine continue to burn. Don't worry, you won't die!"

Everything seemed like a dream.

Deng Yuan looked overhead.

The light of the golden sun spreads across the entire world. There is no darkness or fog beasts here, and the gods are still there.
