Chapter 373 The Rotten Sand Tower United Kingdom (Part 1)
The geographical structure of Star Curtain Land is located on an extended peninsula of Stormwind Continent.
This vast peninsula, connected to the main body of Stormwind Continent, is not only blocked by the death storm on the vast Furnace Desert, but also has a vast night land ruled by blood-born fairies.
These two, on the one hand, prevent the horror deep in the continent from spreading to the Land of Star Curtain; on the other hand, they also make human beings lose the ability to explore the vast Storm Continent, thinking that it is the center of the world.
in this way.
Human civilization in this powerful star screen extending on the peninsula has long been accustomed to ignoring the surrounding lower civilizations struggling to survive.
This kind of behavior is no different from how those high-level civilizations deep in the continent treat the surrounding low-level civilizations.
…
The United Kingdom of Rotten Sand Tower is located in the vast Furnace Desert, a dark area that has not yet been explored by humans and blood-born elves.
The weak wind eye that was once naturally formed here has expanded several times in area through the efforts of the God of Decay, supporting a larger wind eye settlement and establishing a powerful kingdom.
In this way, the story of the Moluo tribe and humans begins here.
The Moluo people are generally about 70cm tall and look like mushrooms with soft tentacles.
Although in appearance and description, this group seems to be somewhat similar to the Gulan goblins, the two are completely different species.
The Gulan Fairies evolved from a marine creature, while the Muluo Tribe are advanced intelligent life forms derived from fungi.
For the vast majority of the Moluo tribe, the source of all history is the great God of Decay.
Different ethnic groups face different living environments, and the resulting cultures and languages are also very different, and the resulting ways of thinking are also very different.
For example, the name of the god of decay.
For humans in the Land of Star Curtain, the word rot means fermentation, mildew, etc., and is a derogatory word.
But for this civilization of intelligent fungal species born in the arid environment of the furnace desert that is extremely short of water, decay represents the source of life, the foundation of food, and the basis for species derivation.
This is a harsh environment that ordinary humans in Star Curtain Land can never imagine.
Luo Nai was born at the bottom of the Moluo tribe.
Like most of the Muluo people, he is a devout believer in the God of Decay.
It's another ordinary morning.
In the underground cave room, he used his soft tentacles to dip some precious water dew from the clay pot and smeared it on the body surface. The skin quickly absorbed the water and secreted a mysterious oily film-like substance. A layer of mucous membrane forms on the body surface to lock in the water in the body.
This is the talent that every Muluo tribe has evolved in a long-term dehydration environment.
Taking a deep breath, he opened the door of the underground cave.
"Damn sun!"
The sunlight on the horizon in the early morning was not dazzling, but it still made it feel uncomfortable.
Cursing the evil sun, he furled the gathering sail that had been hung on the roof all night.
This collection sail is a thin cuticle material that seems to be spliced by countless cicada wings. It is hung at a special angle to form a subtle arc to welcome the night breeze.
With Naraku's cautious movements, the dewdrops on the sail gradually merged into one, forming a precious stream of water that fell into the clay pot.
Staring at the increasingly filled water in the clay pot, the green eyes on his mushroom-topped face showed great satisfaction.
Praise the god of decay!
The low-class Muluo people in remote areas rely on this kind of collecting sail to survive by collecting the negligible moisture in the night air.
"Naraku, I heard that you were able to summon the light of the great God of Decay a few days ago?"
Summoning divine light is the basis for becoming a clergy for humans in the Land of Star Curtain.
Similar to the former Lei Luo, after a long period of devout prayer, he was able to summon a glimmer of divine light, but it could only soothe his emotions, dispel darkness, and bring warmth.
"Uncle Huisha!"
This is Naraku's neighbor.
Naraku looked at the old mushroom.
His damaged and scarce mucous membrane could no longer form a complete sealing film on the body surface.
This is a symbol of the Moruo people's old age and weakness.
The holes in the mucous membrane will cause serious water loss in the body and require more water to maintain life. In this case, if there is not enough water supply, once the water is exhausted, it will dry up and die.
Naraku wanted to give him some water.
But in the end, the deep desire for water in his heart prevented him from speaking.
He calmly plugged the cork of the clay pot and responded with a smile: "Yes, a few days ago, I was able to successfully summon divine light, and I plan to go to the Seventeenth Sand Tower City to study in a few days! "
The old man's eyes showed some blessings and some disappointment, and he slowly left.
He didn't ask for water.
And without water, it would be difficult for him to survive the dry season until the short rainy season arrives.
Right.
Water is the most precious thing in the Moluo Kingdom and the most common currency in the Scrub Kingdom. Who is willing to give it to others for no reason?
…
A few days later.
Naraku carried the clay pot and set foot on the road to Sand Tower City.
While rushing under the scorching sun, he must ensure that he carries enough water, otherwise he will die of dehydration on the way.
This layer of mucous membrane on the body not only locks in moisture in the body, but also has the effect of reflecting sunlight, which greatly reduces the temperature of the body in the sun. Therefore, only the healthiest and strongest Moluo people can travel all the way to the desert. Tacheng.
Needless to say, there were hardships and hardships along the way.
In just seven days, it was almost a narrow escape for Naraku, which completely transformed his soul, and he finally arrived near the Seventeenth Sand Tower City, which was the closest to him.
"so many people?"
Of course, this so-called person is just a term used by people of the same race.
Naraku, who had some signs of burns on his body, stared at the countless mushrooms gathering in front of the huge sand tower more than 100 meters high, and opened his mouth.
"Water...give me some water."
A Moluo fell in the desert. His body had begun to wither and dehydrate. He stretched out his tentacles weakly towards Naraku and begged sadly.
The desert was ruthless, and Naraku ignored the supplicant.
He took a deep breath of dry air, exhaled the hot and sultry air that was almost boiling in his body, and continued walking forward.
The water in his clay pot was also finished yesterday.
The last step of the journey was entirely dependent on will. He couldn't even remember how he arrived at the sand tower, and he passed out.
After several days of treatment, Naraku's body burns recovered, but several permanent black spots were left on his head.
But for the Moluo tribe, this is a huge honor.
Only warriors who have passed the assessment can obtain black spots after special treatment by the Angel of Decay. This black spot will make him have more powerful vitality.
"Congratulations, you passed the test and became a qualified warrior of the United Kingdom. Now you can learn two powers here, blight and rot. Which one do you choose?"
asked a Muluo tribe member floating in mid-air.
It was clearly a scorching sun outside, but the temperature inside the sand tower was very cool. Naraku was very puzzled by this, but at this moment, he had no extra time to think about such boring things.
"What's the difference between the two powers?"
"Choose to wither, and you will become a great kingdom warrior, follow the great King of Sand Tower, go to the Eternal Tree Oasis, conquer the aliens there, open up a new territory, and gain unlimited possibilities! And if you choose to rot, you will continue to stay in here."
"I choose to rot!"
After a moment of hesitation, Naraku finally responded.
