Chapter 680 We Defeat Doomsday!
Prayer is a custom among the Dagos.
When everyone encounters happy things, such as a good hunting harvest, finding a lot of fruit, or the birth of a new child, people will worship the gods to thank the gods for their good luck.
When encountering disasters and pains, such as someone dying, the tree village being destroyed by the energy of death and monsters, or someone suffering from a disease, everyone goes to the statue to pray.
As a hunter, Sydney always follows experience.
Hunting should never be done on a whim. Every step and response is a rule learned by the blood of predecessors.
but.
It is also true that the [God of Many Faces] no longer protects the Dagos people.
Without miracles, without divine power, without crows patrolling the sky, the world is getting worse and worse.
Dagos is like a rotten fruit. First, cracks appeared in the earth, and then it was gradually torn apart. The flesh inside came out and turned into dry tendrils. Then the entire outer shell completely cracked and fell off.
Even so, the Dagos worshiped the Many-Faced God.
Too much time has passed, and people have forgotten how gods protect their people. Perhaps this situation is the norm and a test of some kind.
But in Resurrection City, after hearing the epics and miracles of the Yao people, Xue Li realized that this was not the case.
It turns out that gods can do so many things: they can enlighten their followers with wisdom, they can send gifts from temples, they can create civilization wonders, they can send apostles to deal with worldly affairs, they can give people hope and hope to become prophets, heroes, apostles and even gods. Opportunities...all of this made Xue Li extremely envious.
Alas, the God of many faces.
she thought.
Presumably there are also strengths and weaknesses among the gods.
The Thousand-faced God is weaker than Yao, so he cannot be as omnipresent and omnipotent as Yao.
Standing in the temple, Xue Li felt as if she was enveloped by something, and an incomprehensible existence was staring at her - like stars in the sky. They are always watching everyone in the sky.
The will of God Yao came and asked many things about Xue Li through the apostle Maocao.
"How many people are there in Dagos?"
"I don't know the exact number of people. There is not always contact between the tree villages. According to Granny Qiao, there were tens of thousands of people alive in the trees before, but I don't know about them underground."
"How long has it been since the Cataclysm?"
"It is said that the magic tree in our village was just an ordinary tree many years ago. After the magic well erupted, it became like a mountain. It will prevent other monsters from getting close to the trunk. There are tree patterns on the fallen trunk, and each circle A complete tree pattern lasts 50 years, which is equivalent to the lifetime of most Dagos people."
Xue Li recalled: "Grandma Qiao counted more than a hundred circles of tree patterns before, and a hundred generations of people have lived in the village."
Maocao asked again: "Is the magic well born naturally in this world, or was it built the day after tomorrow?"
"It's always there."
Xue Li remembers the story clearly, but it is difficult to grasp complex things. She gets dizzy as soon as she hears it. Even if she tries hard to remember it, she will soon forget it. She felt that this should be a protective measure of the body, just like when a person is about to slip, the body will subconsciously balance itself.
I am inherently incompatible with these complex things, so my body is rejecting them.
What hunters need is experience and physical strength. A mind that is too complex will affect the body's ability to react quickly.
"Dagos gained the favor of the gods because of the existence of the magic well. I heard that we were very strong in ancient times."
Subsequently, Maocao raised many questions.
Then there was a sudden silence.
The cat-man apostle knelt on the ground motionless.
After a long time, it slowly stood up: "According to the oracle of Lord Yao, we will launch an emergency rescue of Dagos."
Xue Li suspected that she had heard wrongly.
She asked cautiously: "God Yao...want to help the Dagos people?"
"To be precise, it's to rescue the entire world of Dagoth."
Cat Man corrected him and warned: "During this period, please do not move around. We may come to you at any time to confirm the local situation in Dagos. During this period, my assistant Xiaozhi will serve as a special liaison officer to keep in touch with you." inseparable."
Ash is an upright little bear. It has round eyes and a short mouth, and a round body with yellow and white stripes on its surface. It carries a bag on its back and looks very naive.
"Please give me more advice." Little Bear bowed slightly politely.
Sydney also bowed to it.
After leaving the temple, Xue Li couldn't help but ask Xiaozhi: "Does Yao really want to rescue Dagos?"
"Of course, Kami is not joking."
"But... why?"
"Many years ago, the Yao God defeated the gods in order to rescue the 'Bailing Tribe' and saved the tribal world. The world of Yunzhong Temple was once on the verge of destruction, but the Yao people built a sand city there and completed many incredible inventions. As a reward to Shacheng and the local people, Lord Yaoshen restored that world, and now Yunzhong Temple is turning into a new world full of life. "
Xiaozhi grinned and said, "Lord Yao Shen appreciates the hard-working and persevering ethnic group. No matter how late the start is, no matter how poor the conditions are, as long as they develop and live in a down-to-earth manner, Lord Yao Shen likes this kind of ethnic group."
"The people of Dagos are also satisfied with these two points, which probably makes Lord Yao Shen willing to take action despite his busy schedule."
"Actually, from my point of view, you are also amazing. In a world that is being destroyed, you still maintain trust and help each other, without becoming crazy or robbing each other. This is a very admirable thing. "
"Really?"
Xue Li's eyes lit up.
"Really. Like the abyss, before Yao God came, all the forces were fighting each other, and wars continued. There were also the peripheral Zhulu Kingdom and the Ghost Realm, which also hated each other and almost died together. This was still a situation with little external pressure. Down."
The little bear blinked: "I'm curious too. Like a powerful hunter, shouldn't he rule other people? Shouldn't he monopolize all food, water and a safe environment?"
Xue Li thought for a long time.
She didn't know why.
Maybe I can't understand such a complicated thing. It's just that the old people are like this, and the children follow suit, as if all this is a natural thing, helping the weak and helping each other, the strong do more things, and get everyone's respect and love.
Xue Li didn't think about things she couldn't figure out.
She turned excitedly and asked about the rescue.
"Is Master Yao planning to descend on Dagos and directly cover that place with his divine power?"
Little Bear waved his hand: "This kind of trivial matter must be handled by the Yao civilization. Lord Yao Shen is very busy."
"Is this a small matter?"
Xue Li was anxious: "Those monsters are terrifying! There are many strong men around the magic tree, and even the large monsters further away, even the war bows engraved with [Rune Runes] cannot cause harm to them. If the gods hadn't come, It's simply impossible to solve them."
"..."
Little Bear spread his hands: "Didn't you say that? Those monsters may have the power of gods, but if ordinary gods are concerned, the army of the Yao civilization is enough to deal with them."
"In the past, the Resurrection Kingdom was the main force in the battles between gods and gods. Demigods and gods have already wiped out a lot of them..."
"Don't worry about small things like that. It's just about saving a world. As long as the coordinates are determined and there is a statue of Lord Yao over there, it won't be a problem. Of course, the civilization of the Yao people cannot solve it, and the gods of Lord Yao will also take action. Among the top ten gods, there is a god-level existence, don’t worry.”
These are completely beyond Sydney's understanding.
She couldn't figure out how a mortal body could fight against the gods who controlled the world.
Little Bear asked in turn: "That [Myth of Stars], you and Mia may be the first partners of the Yao tribe to complete [When Stars Shine] together. Is there any secret in it?"
"You mean the star exchange?"
"Yes, that's it."
Sydney thinks.
My mind is so clear!
Everything is clear, as clear as the texture of tree bark seen under the bright sun. It is indeed Mia’s head! It’s so useful!
I really want to take this head back to my hometown.
Various thoughts appeared in Xue Li's mind, and she said: "When I am not hunting, I will look at the stars. When I was a child, I would count the stars. When I grow up, I will feel that there seems to be a certain connection between the stars and the ground. The stars are dim, and the magic well is dim. Becoming more horrific and rampant, if the stars shined, the whole world might be a better place."
"Growing up, I have seen fewer and fewer stars in the sky, and I feel very sad."
"One night, a star suddenly flickered. I saw a very strange world in the sky. It was full of bones. Then I came here in a daze. But after I came here, I found that The Resurrection Kingdom is different from the Bone World. It is very... prosperous."
Scenes from the past appeared in Xue Li's mind, and she learned the local people's vocabulary.
"Oh, what you see through [Star Flash] is the Resurrection Kingdom hundreds of years ago."
The little bear looked thoughtful, and scratched the fur on his face with his paws: "The starlight is refracted by the stars in different worlds, and it takes a lot of time to finally reach the two worlds. What you see is many years." The scene before.”
Sydney couldn't help but think.
Dagos, who was in danger, wondered what Mia was doing and whether she had enough to eat.
…
Mia sneezed.
Winter comes without warning.
The village in the trees was covered with heavy snow, and everything became white.
When it snows, the children in Resurrection City will run out excitedly to have snowball fights, but the children in Shucun don't run around.
They are helping the adults clear the snow, putting part of the clean snow into jars to use as a source of water, and collecting fallen branches and leaves from the trees to use as heating fuel. People get hungry easily in winter, and the daylight hours are very short, so you need to cherish your daytime and physical strength.
Mia and old Jero are opening the magic bottle.
Granny Qiao warned from the side: "Don't damage the card slots and four poles above, they must be used to fix it."
"Don't open it in a hurry, listen to the sound outside first. If you hear a steady whirring sound, it means it's normal inside. If you hear noise or popping sounds, you have to be careful..."
Mia looked at the magic bottle in front of her.
The most important treasure of Shucun is a large bronze funnel with a diameter as long as a person's open arms, and a large urn attached to the bottom.
The surface of the magic bottle is engraved with complex runes, with a total of 800 runes connected into a whole, like a dense ancient document.
Mia tried to decipher the runes but couldn't.
Because the runes on the magic bottle cannot determine the starting point, it seems that the top, bottom, left and right can be connected to each other and complete the combination. The seemingly primitive and simple rune records are so complex and sophisticated that one person's mind cannot decipher them in a short time.
There are two magic bottles in the entire tree village, and they look exactly the same. The magic horns used by hunters, the cutting knives used by old people, and the ropes, small wooden wheels, and carrying boots used daily all need the magic energy of the magic bottle to be charged to make up for the lack of manpower.
"One, two, three, up!"
Old Jello and Mia held the iron rod in their left and right hands, pushing the bronze cover on the magic bottle left and right. With a hissing sound, a large amount of mist sprayed out from inside, bringing a metallic tremor that made people tinnitus.
This step is not only to open the cover, but also to stop the charging state of the magic bottle.
The magic bottle is a refined use of the magic well. It can absorb the magic energy floating in the air and absorb it into the bottle, but it cannot lock them permanently.
However, a large amount of magic energy can do a lot of things.
This simple and easy-to-use device is the lifeline of survival for each village.
Mia saw that there was a circle of copper hangers in the magic bottle.
Various props that need to be charged are fixed inside and charged with magic energy. It's just that different props need to be hung at different heights, and the time consumption is also very different. If the time is too short, the charging will not take effect, and if the time is too long, the props will be deformed and damaged. These are all very clear experience summaries and records.
Mia held a long-handled wooden hook, found the right angle, and hooked a pair of magic horns wrapped with hemp rope. She carefully dragged it out and placed it on the copper cover.
The magic horns that left the magic bottle still had wisps of black air lingering on the surface.
Old Jello next to him put on thick gloves, wrapped the magic horns tightly with cloth, and put them in a wooden box.
Then Mia hooked out three rolls of rope, three hooks, and a pair of carrying boots in succession.
"Close the lid." Grandma Qiao shouted.
The two hunters closed the magic bottle again.
The props filled with magic energy were distributed to the people in need.
After leaving the magic bottle, the magic energy of various props will gradually evaporate and disappear, so they will only be taken out when needed.
However, there are some special cases.
For example, hunters will have several pairs of magic horns, one pair to be fixed on both sides of the bowstring of the war bow, and one pair to be kept on the body for standby. The magic horns that have completed the charging need to be debugged with the war bow. The hunters test-fired to ensure that the power of the runes could be exerted when the strings were pulled.
After the busy work, people gathered in the big house where Grandma Qiao was. This was where the villagers had dinner together. There were only 33 people in the whole village, and they all burned fires to keep warm and cook soup and food, which saved fuel.
"Sydney, the method you proposed is really useful. Using that ruler to make standard measurements, no longer using knuckles and knots, it is much more convenient."
Old Jello held the wooden bowl and exhaled white air and said, "But I still don't understand how you measured the space of the magic bottle and how many props can be placed."
"That's a more complicated problem... It's geometry."
"Geometry? Is it also the revelation you got from Yao Shen?"
"Yes."
Mia drank the broth in the container.
There was only a little oil in the wooden bowl, with tender leaves and dried fruits floating on it, and a little salt, and the taste was bland. Fortunately, she was not picky about food.
The salt on the tree was quite strange, and it would be enriched in some depressions on the trunk. Once the weather gets hot, it's time for villagers to collect salt everywhere.
This is a bit like the seaside, where salt appears after the seawater depression is exposed to the sun.
Grandma Qiao said that the gushing of magic wells in various places caused a large amount of seawater to be washed into water mist in the sky, which is equivalent to a small part of the ocean in the sky. This is why the tree house smells fishy.
In the big house, everyone drinks soup with tree fruits and talks about some trivial jokes in daily life.
Even though this world is hanging on an extremely dangerous cliff, the locals still remain optimistic.
Otherwise, they can't survive.
Mia couldn't help thinking that the recent death aura has increased significantly, and with some monsters circling around the magic tree, it seems that the deterrence and vitality of the magic tree are rapidly declining. Although it is impossible to quantify the data of this increase, the trend is very clear.
The seemingly solid defense line may be torn apart at any time. At that time, no matter how far you migrate upwards, you can't escape the full invasion of monsters.
The only way now is to hope that Lord Yaoshen can see this world as soon as possible.
Mia finally convinced Grandma Qiao and put the [Magic Bottle] as a sacrifice in front of the statue of God Yao against all odds.
But this sacrifice has remained in place until now.
A child at the door suddenly said excitedly: "The snow outside has stopped, the snow has stopped! The snow has stopped in the air!"
Mia felt strange: "Stopped in the air?"
The child nodded: "The snow has stopped in the air, and many of them are not moving."
People whispered to each other, this situation has never been seen before.
Mia pushed the door open and ran out, she saw that some of the snowflakes in the sky were really frozen in the air.
"Ah! The snow is going to stop, is it the power of the gods?"
"Is Lord Yao here?"
The villagers who witnessed this phenomenon were excited.
Mia felt bad.
She observed the sky intently and found that the snowflakes were not falling, but they were floating very slowly, as if something was preventing them from falling normally.
The higher the altitude, the more obvious this phenomenon is. The snow at higher altitudes seemed to be frozen in the sky, with no signs of falling at all.
As they approached the trees, the speed of the snowflakes returned to normal.
"That thing in the sky... is a mirror?" Old Jello said in surprise.
Mia also noticed that the top of the clouds and snow became smooth and transparent, and the colorful colors of the ground were reflected on the sky.
For the first time, she saw the scene overlooking the ground from the sky, and she could see huge trees lined up one after another, and the dense and numerous branches and leaves formed a sky-high jungle.
Except for these trees standing high up, the ground is covered with a vast sea of black dead air. They are as turbulent as the ocean, with whirlpools and waves. Dense monsters are flying and soaring in it. In front of the boundless sea of dead air, they are like gravel.
Below, there are gushers and floods of magic wells, and strange mirrors appear in the air.
The situation is extremely dangerous.
The fear of facing unknown giants makes Mia's fingers tremble and her heartbeat accelerates.
Calm down, calm down.
Math will not lie, use math to deal with problems.
She desperately concentrated her attention to make this originally slow brain work as much as possible.
A mirror-like object appeared at the top of the sky, which was affecting the speed of snowfall, making the highest point almost solidified and stagnant. And this situation has not happened before, which means that it appeared gradually...
In other words, it is sinking further into this world-or Dagus is approaching the mirror.
In summary, it can be proved that the survivable height range is further compressed.
Mia told everyone her conclusion: "... The current situation is no longer something that we can solve with human power. As you can see, there is no real way out in the world."
The villagers were no longer as optimistic as before, and everyone looked unhappy.
"We must jump out of the existing framework and jump out of the human field."
Mia looked at everyone: "When mathematics and human power have done their best, we need to believe in theology and Lord Yao."
Some people questioned: "Is it really useful? It's impossible."
"After the catastrophe, no god ever came to Dagus, and the Thousand-Faced God abandoned this place... God Yao didn't even accept the sacrifice, how could he help us?"
"God is untrustworthy."
"We have to run, whether up or down!"
When death was approaching, Mia saw the truest side of everyone.
They don't believe in God, because God doesn't believe in them either.
This made Mia feel relieved.
This is normal.
Lord Yao's oracle said that it is necessary to allow and accept that some people don't believe in God, because this is a fact that can be observed. The only difference is whether it is expressed or not.
In the heyday of Dagus, the gods descended to the world with their might, and people revered and loved them.
In Dagus, where the end of the world is approaching, the gods have long gone for thousands of years. If people still worship gods fanatically... then one of the equations of gods and humans in the past and present must be a misunderstanding.
Mia said: "I suggest that everyone live together. The monsters under the tree may impact here at any time, and the magic mirror in the sky may collapse completely at any time. We unite, at least we can help each other."
This advocacy was recognized and agreed by the villagers.
Everyone got busy and brought their important supplies here.
After the busy work, the villagers gathered together and continued to drink the broth, but they could no longer talk and joke with each other as before.
The destruction of the world has never been so clear and real.
Many people wanted to make some noise, but whether it was coughing, laughing, or sniffing, it only made the suffocation of the end of the world worse.
Bang bang bang——
A dull and powerful knock came from the door.
The villagers all looked at the door.
Through the gap, they could see some kind of body outside. A strong stench rushed into the house, accompanied by some vague and strong roars.
It was a monster. Under the pressure of the magic mirror, they finally rushed up the magic tree.
The villagers held knives and wooden spears, the hunters held war bows, and the children also picked up their short bows. Everyone was ready to defend this last fortress at all costs.
Mia felt her body tense uncontrollably, her hands and feet were hot, and Xueli's body felt extreme danger. It had a beast-like sharpness.
Calm down, calm down.
Mia held the war bow tightly with both hands.
Bang!
The door was finally opened by the huge force from outside.
A bird monster the size of a small house rushed in, knocking over the stove, the water tank behind, the wooden cabinet and the tool rack on the wall, making a mess of the house. Although people were holding weapons, their first reaction was to scatter in fear and hide everywhere.
The monster lay on the ground motionless, with several holes in its head, and thick black blood gushed out of the wounds, dragging a black blood belt on the ground.
Its eyes were empty and it was motionless.
Several figures were projected from the door frame, and several black warriors holding rose weapons [Black Magic] in both hands looked inside. They were covered with a layer of black armor that fit their body lines, covering them from head to toe, carrying a long box-shaped weapon box, and there were only layers of armor patterns on their faces, and no facial features could be seen.
The leader said: "Are you Dagus people?"
Mia's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes!"
The black warrior who spoke said: "We are the fourth squad of the first regiment of the Yao tribe rescue army, and I am the captain Hendrick. We are building a defense line here, and this monster wanted to sneak in, but fortunately we found it in time... Sorry, the loss here, we will compensate for the original price after the battle is over."
"The rescue has arrived? So fast?" Mia was surprised.
"We're here."
Hendrick was a little surprised: "You are..."
"I'm Mia. Although it's complicated, I'm actually from the Yao tribe."
"Is it the Mia who shines with stars, the one from the United Friendship University?"
"Yes, it's me."
The armor on the skeleton captain's face spread out to both sides, revealing the hideous white bone face underneath: "I'm so glad you're okay. Our main task this time is to find you and ensure your safety. We're lucky this time."
"Put on this [Armor] first, for safety reasons."
Mia wrapped the wide amoeba around her body, and it quickly extended the armor on the surface of the body, fitting around the hunter's body, forming a flexible black armor.
She told the villagers inside about the general situation.
"... In short, please rest assured that the Yao tribe reinforcements have arrived."
Hendrick also nodded and said to the locals: "The flying dragon troops of the second regiment have begun to eliminate the monsters in the dead air on a large scale. They are blocked in the area below. The white bone earth dragons have also been deployed, and the order on the ground will be stable in a short time."
Mia looked down from the tree trunk.
In the black cloud, the white bone flying dragons spewed out red death light, sweeping down the monsters one by one, and the death air brought by the magic well seemed to have dissipated a lot.
Grandma Qiao leaned on a cane: "Excuse me, is the magic mirror in the sky the power of Lord Yao?"
"That [Virtual Mirror] is not." Hendrick said.
"The sky is collapsing..." Grandma Qiao's face was suddenly worried: "It is the punishment of the Thousand-Faced God, because we betrayed the gods of the past and followed and believed in new gods."
"Although I don't know what happened specifically, don't worry." Hendrick said casually: "The disaster here will end soon."
Grandma Qiao's face wrinkled deeper, and she said carefully: "But the magic mirror in the sky..."
A soldier came in from outside to report: "Captain, the commander has issued the latest order. The attack on the [Virtual Mirror] in the virtual universe has begun and will soon be transferred to the entire world. The commander asked us to shrink our defense to ensure the safety and property of the civilians in the tree village."
"Got it."
Hendrick said: "Pass the order down, guard the formation, and gather."
"Yes!"
One by one, the black warriors came to the tree house, pulled up a row of origami shields, and held [Black Magic] to be vigilant around.
The sky was flashing red.
Mia looked up at the sky.
High in the sky, the huge magic mirror was hit by a ball of fire from the sky, and the mirror surface suddenly became distorted and wrinkled. The whole sky and the magic mirror were ignited, turning into a magnificent sky fire that had never been seen before.
The originally solidified snow fell down again.
The magic mirror was pierced.
"This... this is..."
Grandma Qiao opened her eyes wide and her lips moved.
The villagers were stunned and looked at the sky for a long time without saying a word.
"I said, the disaster will end soon."
Hendrick said: "This world will soon be transferred to a safe area. Please return to the house immediately and be careful of bumps."
Mia greeted and comforted others while holding on to the vines next to her.
Soon, the whole world began to tremble wildly.
At the last moment, Mia asked Hendrick: "What is that magic mirror, called the virtual mirror?"
"It is a natural disaster that can touch and destroy various worlds, but don't worry, we have vortex cannons." The skeleton captain laughed: "The Yao tribe is professional in dealing with natural disasters."
Mia nodded.
Returning to the Yao Clan, she felt the certainty and confidence in her heart again.
Nothing can stop the Yao Clan.
Because we are the people of God Yao, our civilization is never afraid to face any enemy.
If the end of the world has come, then we will defeat the end of the world itself!
