"There are no roads."
Pushing open the incomplete door, the originally smooth heavy armor was now covered with dust and scars. Eluma slowly took off her breastplate and put it aside, revealing her long black skirt. She put the long sword aside, and then walked to the bed that was fixed by wires. She looked at Zhou Li on the bed, with a trace of worry in her eyes. "All the passages have collapsed. Those rocks are connected to the earth veins. It is difficult for me to get through." .”
"It doesn't matter."
Zhou Li shook his head on the bed. The bandages on his body had been washed until they faded. In order to save Eluma, Zhou Li directly released all the power in the Holy Tree Crown, which resulted in the Holy Tree Crown being unable to heal Zhou Li's wounds. The life energy of this strange underground dead city is extremely scarce, and the charging time of the Holy Tree Crown is appallingly slow.
At first, Eluma tried to use her healing power to repair Zhou Li's injuries, but because she had been crowned the Black Emperor, her original power was completely unusable, and the Black Emperor did not have the ability to heal the injuries of others. Therefore, Zhou Li's dozens of wounds could only be treated simply with gauze and some medicines from the city. But both of them knew that Zhou Li's most fatal injury was his internal organs that were about to shatter. Once his internal organs are shattered, Zhou Li will die immediately.
As the favored ones of the gods, both Zhou Li and Eluma possess the ability to be almost immortal. Whether it was the Holy Tree Crown or Eluma's healing constitution, they allowed them to recover quickly from the previous battle. But this time, the Holy Tree Crown was exhausted and replenished slowly, and Eluma's healing constitution was also swallowed up by the Black Emperor. If Eluma hadn't found the medicine through her accumulated medical experience in previous lives, Zhou Li might have died of an injury like massive hemorrhage.
The most terrible thing is that Zhou and Li can't remember why they appeared in this underground dead city, nor do they know where this city is. They only remembered that they came to find the authority of the Black Emperor. When they regained consciousness again, Eluma became the Black Emperor, and Zhou Li was also seriously injured. Although they killed the monster that attacked them, they are now trapped in this area.
This private house was a complete house that Eluma had been looking for for a long time. This city must have been uninhabited for a long time. Almost all the houses had collapsed, as if the city had been abandoned for thousands of years. But there is still good news. Eluma found a vegetable field in the southeast corner of the underground city. Perhaps because no one was picking it, the vegetable field was lush and leafy. Coupled with the river running through the entire city, Zhou Li The supplies with Eluma are quite abundant.
Be lucky in misfortune.
Looking at the wounds on Zhou Li's body, a trace of worry flashed in Eluma's eyes. It has now been twelve days since the great change that day, but Zhou Li's injury has not improved at all. She knew that these herbs she carefully prepared were just ordinary plants in the end, and would not have much effect on Zhou Li's horrific injuries. The reason why Zhou Li can survive till now is all due to his own physical quality.
"no need to worry."
Seeing what Eluma was worried about, Zhou Li smiled and said softly: "There will be a solution."
"Um."
Eluma pursed her lips, stretched out her hand, and gently held Zhou Li's hand. Feeling the slightly cold touch on her palm, she only felt the confusion and sadness deep in her heart. Obviously she has been working hard and survived reincarnation after reincarnation alone, but she doesn't know why, her ending is always accompanied by regrets and pain.
Disappointment...
Eluma felt as if something was missing in her heart. When she thought of this word, a warm figure seemed to flash across her eyes. But before she could see clearly, the figure disappeared in front of her eyes, as if everything was an illusion. Eluma was stunned. There was a little confusion in her eyes, but she didn't know what to do.
The two fell into silence, but there was no awkwardness. In other words, they are used to each other's presence and can feel at ease and calm even without communication.
Time passed slowly. There was no distinction between day and night in this underground ruin. Eluma and Zhou Li could only rely on an ordinary quartz clock to calculate time. When she saw the hour hand pointing to six o'clock, Eluma stood up and said to Zhou Li, "I'm going to cook first. You must tell me if you want to go to the ground."
"Do not worry."
Zhou Li nodded. He was not a pushy person. He knew that his body was on the verge of collapse and he still went to the ground alone. After taking a reluctant look at the boy on the bed, Eluma walked to the kitchen nearby and began to cook the vegetables she took from the vegetable patch.
It can be said that Eluma's wilderness survival experience in the previous reincarnations has been fully accumulated, and it is to the point where Mr. Bei is respected as a master when he comes. After all, ordinary people cannot chisel stones into bowls and stoves with bare hands, then hold two stones with one hand and wipe out the fire, and then use magic energy to ignite the firewood.
Wow.
Looking at the fire in her hands, Eluma counted silently in her mind for a few seconds, and then lit the stove in front of her. About ten minutes later, Eluma trotted up to Zhou Li carrying two stone bowls. She pulled out the repaired wooden table beside her, put the bowl on it, pinched her earlobes, then picked up one of the bowls and sat next to Zhou Li, took some out with a spoon, blew on it carefully for a long time, and made sure After the temperature was neither hot nor cold, he gently fed the vegetable soup to Zhou Li.
Reluctantly, Zhou Li ate half a bowl of boiled vegetables. In order to supplement Zhou Li's nutrition, Eluma chopped up all the extremely rare Morgan vegetables and put them in Zhou Li's bowl. What I ate was only ordinary vegetables that were bland and tasteless. Neither of them said anything, Eluma just took it as a matter of course, while Zhou Li found it difficult to think about these issues due to pain and injuries.
Eluma put the stone bowl away, walked to the side and washed it in the pool she dug with her long sword. After placing the clean stone bowl on the table, Eluma walked to Zhou Li, sat aside, held his hand, closed her eyes and began to recharge her batteries.
Tonight, Eluma was going to a cave she had spotted. Although Eluma had already explored that cave, she knew there was no way to the outside world. But Eluma decided to try again. If the signal could be sent out to let others know the location of herself and Zhou Li, it would be a way to get out of trouble.
Zhou Li didn't say anything, just looked at the ceiling quietly, feeling the warm breath of the girl next to him. After an unknown amount of time, Eluma stretched out her other hand and gently squeezed the back of Zhou Li's hand. Then she stood up and put on her armor, her calm voice reassuring.
"I'll be back in three hours."
Eluma would make an appointment with Zhou Li every time she went out, because at this time Zhou Li was already a little confused about time, his injuries were too severe, and he was not even fully awake a lot of the time. Therefore, Eluma would make an appointment with him every time before leaving so that he would not worry.
Wear heavy armor and wear a long sword at your waist. Feeling the surging black mist in her body, Eluma took a deep breath, leaving a cloud of black mist behind before leaving this shabby child's room.
Soon, Eluma came to the ruins where they had appeared inexplicably before. Based on the shape of these ruins, she could easily determine that this was once a fortress-like castle. It should have suffered some kind of strong external impact that caused the entire building to collapse. They had appeared here inexplicably before and killed the monster named Moon Dancer.
Thinking of this, Eluma's heart was filled with a haze unconsciously. She didn't know why, as a messenger of the gods, Moon Dancer would attack herself and Zhou Li. This sudden attack caused some bad guesses to occupy Eluma's mind. She began to doubt whether what she had done before was correct.
But this doubt only lasted for a while, because she knew that saving the world by herself was definitely not wrong. The people you love and those who love you all live in this world, and there are many kind people in this world. Therefore, saving is definitely not wrong.
Thinking of this, Eluma unconsciously glanced at Moon Dancer's body that had turned to ashes. After using the Black Emperor's black mist to melt away the Moon Dancer, only a pool of white ash remained of the originally ferocious monster. Because Zhou Li was seriously injured and Moon Dancer's body was useless, Eluma did not come back to see Moon Dancer's body.
However, with such a casual glance, a pale golden figure appeared in Eluma's peripheral vision.
who is it?
Eluma was stunned, but she quickly reacted and flashed from the black mist to the figure at an imperceptible speed. However, when she appeared at the position where the figure stayed, the originally clear existence suddenly disappeared like mist.
Staring blankly at the empty ground, Eluma began to wonder if she had eaten too much vegetables and was hallucinating. But it was not like she had never starved to death before. She knew that what she just saw was definitely not an illusion. There must be a figure here.
At this time, Eluma was very vigilant. How could there be any so-called human figure in this almost dead underground ruins. You know, according to Eluma's observations, this city has not been inhabited for at least a thousand years. If it can appear, then this figure is most likely not human.
【Go to...men...tears】
For some reason, just when Eluma was about to search for that figure, strange yet familiar words suddenly came to her ears. She had never heard the voice's owner speak, but for some reason, the moment the voice sounded, Eluma felt her heart suddenly freeze for half a second.
It's like, there's a piece missing.
"Who are you?"
Eluma's right hand rested on the hilt of the sword, her body leaned forward slightly, and black mist filled her side. She looked at everything around her with vigilance and shouted: "What on earth are you going to do?!"
【Gaia...Gaia's Cry...Hui...Gate】
The voice sounded again, and this time, the owner of the voice seemed to be in a hurry. As if she was reminding him of something, she spoke again after disappearing briefly.
[Deep cave...under the castle...get out of here]
After saying the last words, the voice fell into silence. Somehow, even though nothing happened, Eluma knew that this sound would never sound again.
Doubts and confusion emerged in Eluma's heart, and she didn't know whether she should trust this voice. It was obvious that this voice was guiding him to the deep cave under the ruins of the castle. But the problem is that neither Black Mist nor Eluma herself sensed that there was a so-called deep cave under the castle.
Eluma frowned, her right hand still resting on the sword, but the vigilance on her face was a little less, replaced by one of contemplation.
Tears... Tears of Gaia.
Eluma knows that this world has its own consciousness, and the name of consciousness is Gaia. But Eluma simply couldn't understand what Gaia's Tears were.
Will the world also shed tears?
Just when Eluma felt helpless and was about to leave this place, she caught a glimpse of that figure again from the corner of her eye.
who is it?
He didn't rush to see the other person's face, nor did he shout loudly. For some reason, after seeing the figure slowly climbing to the top of the castle, Eluma's eyes were full of hesitation and doubt. She stretched out her hand to stop the golden figure, but she couldn't speak.
For some reason, Eluma felt a tight feeling in her chest when the golden figure disappeared at the end of the castle. She covered her chest and opened her eyes wide, as if she had lost something precious at this moment. But Eluma could sense that Zhou Li's life had not disappeared, so what exactly was it that disappeared?
Clear and crystal tears fell slowly, and as the tears shattered on the ground, black mist began to spread along the six-pointed star pattern on the ground. Soon, Eluma noticed this change.
A door.
When the black mist spread completely, a blue door appeared in front of Eluma. To be precise, it should be a bottomless blue abyss. Eluma stared blankly at the abyss beneath her feet, knowing that she could leave here with just one thought.
but···
Without any hesitation, Eluma turned around and ran towards the city. Even though she knew that this portal would not appear for long, once the time limit expired, she would most likely be trapped in this strange space forever. However, Eluma still chose to look back.
She chose to leave here with her lover.
*********************
[Divinity of Life·Revival of All Things]
As the delicate green buds slowly climbed up Zhou Li's body, countless halos of life spread throughout Zhou Li's body. Looking at the sleeping boy on the stretcher, Liras put away his hands, took a deep breath, and said thankfully: "Although these herbs of yours are very rough, they did save his life. It was just a little bit, in half a day at most, Zhou Li The heart and lung function will completely stop."
Eluma on the side looked at Zhou Li who was sleeping soundly, and the long-lasting worry in her eyes finally disappeared a little. She breathed a long sigh of relief and was about to say something when a drop of crystal flowed out of the corner of her eyes again unconsciously.
Snap.
