Chapter 877 Tombstone Express

Luca came back to his senses and found that he was still sliding on the ground.

This kind of sliding was very strange, just like walking on the ice and being pushed by someone, and the silver ground under his feet was so smooth that it felt a little scared.

At this time, he prostrated himself on the ground and could only barely raise his head and look into the distance.

The ground rose and fell before, and the rising ground waves pushed him all the way from the entrance of the vortex to the distance.

He slid all the way from the passage, and he felt that his chest and knees were a little hot, but he didn't stop.

It was like lard sliding on an iron plate.

This was a slippery silver world.

Luca desperately grabbed the ground with both hands, and finally stopped sliding gradually.

He looked back and found that he was far away from where he came from, so far that he could only see the long horizon, and he couldn't find the space tunnel perpendicular to the ground at all.

Fortunately, the direction could still be calibrated.

There were scratches on the ground, although they were very shallow, they could still be seen.

Luca tried to prop up his body and walked towards where he came from.

As it walked, it felt its body was heavier than ever before, as if it was carrying a piece of iron all over its body.

As a Talos, it had a strong physique and strength, but it couldn't walk here for long before its bones began to weaken, its hands and feet became uncontrollable, and it had to stop to rest.

This is a smooth and heavy world.

The weight of the body alone was overwhelming.

When Luca rested, he saw that the sky here was cloudless and completely white, like some kind of empty curtain.

The sun here did not rise from the east and set in the west like in the Yao clan world.

They suddenly appeared in the air, as if they had been extinguished before and then suddenly turned on. So every time Luca raised his head, he saw the sun appear in a different position.

It gave people a feeling that there were many suns in this world.

Maybe it was true.

In order to confirm this, Luca began to observe carefully. He saw that sometimes there were two suns in the sky, sometimes ten, sometimes six, and sometimes dozens, like glowing eyes.

The strangest thing was that every time he raised his head, the sun appeared in a different place. It was as if the sun would disappear as long as he stared at it.

This was a smooth, heavy world with many suns.

Luca embarked on a long journey home.

During this process, he clearly felt that his movements were getting slower and slower. His own characteristics and abilities were completely unusable here, and he was only supported by the strength of his body.

His body became more and more stiff, and silver spots began to appear on his body. Those tiny silver dots were like some kind of moldy metal - but would metal mold?

He didn't know.

Luca could only pray in his heart.

"Lord Yao, please bless me so that I can reunite with everyone safely!"

Although the waves on the ground did not appear again, returning to the starting point seemed a long way off.

Luca didn't know how long he had walked, and there seemed to be no changes ahead. What was even more terrifying was that the traces on the ground began to dim, and the path and coordinates back were gradually disappearing.

He panicked and tried to speed up his pace.

But his body didn't obey.

He sat on the ground to let his body recover a little - his body fever was getting worse and worse, as if he was being roasted by fire. This is a hot world, and it can feel it now.

The sun above its head appears and leaves, as if it is watching this outsider.

In a daze, Luca saw a hole in the ground not far away. The edge of the hole was very smooth, and it was a perfect circle in the geometric sense.

Luca had never seen such a round hole in his life.

It immediately thought that there should be something in the hole, and it must have been dug out by people.

Now it is exhausted and urgently needs a place to rest for a while. Even if it is a little water or oil to cool down the body, it will be great.

Luca crawled to the edge of the hole and knocked on the wall.

"Is there anyone?"

Bang bang bang——

The sound was transmitted deep underground.

There was a circle of black powder paint or rammed earth on the edge of the hole, and the hole was tilted downward, which was obviously convenient for entry and exit. There were also stairs or handholds on the wall of the cave.

"Hey, hey, hey?" It shouted with difficulty.

No one answered.

Luca walked in carefully, and there was something like a metal rope below. As soon as it grabbed the thing, the rope brought it down, making Luca a little nervous.

The metal rope sank slowly and evenly, entering the ground.

The walls along the way were all covered with black paint, like some kind of fine coal ash. Strangely, after entering here, the burning sensation in the body suddenly dissipated for the most part.

It seems that there is something wrong with the sun outside.

While Luca was thinking, he had already come to the underground.

The underground space was very small, with only a black stone tablet. The stone tablet was half a person tall, and the surface was painted with the same black paint.

There were many star symbols engraved on the tablet, and many lines connecting those stars. This made Luca couldn't help but think, could it be that the number and trajectory of the stars in the sky were engraved on this tablet?

In front of the tablet was a gray metal block of some kind, only the size of a palm.

Luca hadn't done anything yet, but a strange shadow appeared on the tablet, just like the Yao clan wonder [Red Coral Mirage].

Luca watched carefully.

A strange face appeared on the black monument. Its head was square with two cylindrical horns on it. The neck of this strange creature was soft and slender, and its body was not visible.

Its face has three round holes, like eyes and mouth.

"%￥￥……*x-on:#……"

After a burst of noise and strange sounds came from the stone tablet, it gradually turned into an understandable voice.

"I am [Yaoyuan Shou], are you from Yaoyuan? Or from somewhere else?"

"Don't worry, I'm not an illegal person, nor a fugitive, just a person who chases stars because of interest."

"I don't carry any disease in my body, and I don't have any connection or connection objects. My profession is a traveler. Do you know this profession? It is a profession of traveling everywhere and enjoying unknown journeys. It is not a suspicious profession, but it is relatively niche and poor."

"Don't you introduce yourself? Oh, it doesn't matter, I guess you are not from Yaoyuan."

Luca realized that the Yaoyuan Shou was dead. This is its tomb and epitaph.

It's just that it has some technology and power to leave its voice and appearance on the tombstone.

"I got here by mistake through a special channel. I thought it was an undeveloped space gap or a lost primitive world, but I ended up in this closed space. My signal cannot be transmitted here at all, and it will be changed and assimilated by the vibration here."

"I have drilled through many channels, but this time I drilled the wrong place."

"Life is probably like this. You can't drill the right one every time."

Luca was ready to listen to the other party's last words.

This is a kind of respect.

The Yaoyuan head on the tombstone slowly dimmed: "There is not much energy left. Remember what I said, be careful of the vibration here, each vibration will bring a different interval, the last time it was strong, the next time it will be weak."

"This is a periodic vibration. You can only go out in a weak period. In a strong period, you need to find a place to hide and use the black substance here... I call it [Black Wall], which is a protective material I extracted from deep underground here."

"Otherwise, it will be changed and assimilated by the vibration, becoming more and more synchronized with this world, and finally melted in the constant vibration of the world, becoming a part of this place, just like that silver metal..."

Luca remembered silently.

Periodic changes.

Was it strong or weak last time?

Will it return to stability or be stronger next time?

But Luca didn't have time to observe.

It had to move immediately.

The traces on the ground were getting fainter and fainter. If it vibrated again, there might not be any trace left.

At that time, he would be lost in this world forever and eventually die alone, just like the Yaoyuan head in the tomb.

Luca didn't stop.

It patted the tombstone: "Rest in peace."

Then it turned its head and walked up.

A voice suddenly came from behind.

"Wait, wait a minute, I'm not dead!"

Luca suddenly alerted and raised his fists.

"If you're not dead, why would you erect a tombstone here?"

"No, I saw you didn't speak all the time, and I thought your race couldn't speak." The other party was also very confident: "I just buried my body here to reduce consumption."

As he said, his tombstone shook slightly, and the black powder paint on it fell off, revealing the lead-gray appearance underneath. Eight gray legs were propped up under the base, just like a spider.

The tombstone moved left and right on the ground, as if showing its flexibility.

There were three holes on its tombstone, and two horns on its head were also exposed.

Although I really wanted to ask the other party about the situation.

But time is running out now.

Luca clasped his fists: "See you again if we are lucky."

Then it climbed up.

A voice came from behind: "You can go up with a hook."

Luca grabbed the hook, and sure enough, it was pulled up from below.

Back to the smooth mirror-like ground, it identified the wear marks on the ground and hurried in the direction it came from.

There was a ding-ding-ding-ding sound of metal knocking behind it.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I'll go with you."

The walking tombstone, Yao Yuanshou moved forward flexibly with eight legs.

"You have a camp nearby, right? Take me there. We can gather together and have a better chance of survival."

"..."

Luka didn't answer it. It said, "I'll take you there. You don't have a vehicle now and it's too strenuous. I can speed you up. The friction resistance here is very low. You can move long distances and at high speed with a little acceleration. Come on up and I'll take you there."

After that, its eight legs huddled together in groups of two, and the bottom became four wheels.

Luka also hesitated, jumped up and stood in front of the tombstone base to direct the direction.

Yaoyuanshou's speed was amazing. It was buzzing and running fast. The strong wind blew Luka so hard that he couldn't stand steadily.

"My speed is pretty good, right? Was the vehicle broken when you came out? In a place like this, it's better not to go too far."

"It will be safer after the next vibration cycle starts again. The assimilation will be more serious now, but it seems that you should have countermeasures?"

"Don't you know Yaoyuan? We are quite famous, but probably no one has heard of us here... I know a lot of things. I can help in your camp. You just need to help me repair my body and provide me with energy. That should be okay, right? I will also share everything I know about this place."

As they talked, the Tombstone Express sped all the way, and the vortex-shaped space channel was already seen on the horizon.

Yaoyuan was a little surprised in his voice: "You... can actually open a channel here? It's amazing."

"I'm saved this time!"

It was happy and asked cautiously: "Um, brother, you will help me, right?"

Although Luca was exhausted, he also promised: "I will help you."

The other party finally put his mind at ease.

Yao Yuanshou started to brake from a distance, leaving two shallow black marks on the ground.

Luca saw that the team members next to him disappeared without a trace.

They all went back?

That should be the case.

"Let's go."

Luca smiled a little tiredly: "Come visit us, our Yao tribe has always been hospitable, don't worry about supplies."

Then it took Yao Yuanshou into the vortex.
