When Ange landed on the Eternal Road, a skinny insect was startled and slowly crawled away with six limbs.
Ange tilted his head and looked at it in confusion.
Negris and several other people in the hearse of the Great Sage drove over and landed next to Ange.
"Huh? Are there bugs? Are they alive?" Nigris was shocked. The Eternal Road was hanging alone in the void. It was so small that it didn't look like it could hold air. Don't these bugs need to breathe air?
"There is air." Duroken waved the Midas Touch, and the thin air under his feet appeared. An unusually thin layer, floating as high as the waist, was almost gone by the neck.
When a few of them fell to the ground, the thin air stretched upward along their bodies due to tension, making them bulge higher than other places.
"If it were a living creature, it would have to lie on the ground to breathe. However, such thin air cannot support large creatures, unless they do not need to breathe..." Negris said.
Except for Anthony who needs to breathe, no one else here needs these. Looking at the eternal road with no end in sight, Anthony suddenly became entangled.
It's okay to not breathe for a short period of time, but if you don't breathe for a long time, you need to change your life form. He doubts that he will be able to make it to the end.
"How about I go back first? The church still has a lot of things to deal with." Anthony said.
Ange nodded and took out a teleportation scroll and gave it to him.
"No, I still have it here." Anthony took out a teleportation scroll, tore it open, and teleported away in a flash of light.
Only Ange, Nigris, the Great Sage, Duroken and the little sapling were left there. Not even the little angel or the little zombie came with them.
Ange wasn't going to take them with him. He glanced at the little bug that hadn't crawled far for a long time. After thinking about it, Ange took out an elf bean, crushed it into powder, and sprinkled a little in front of it.
The insect was frightened by the debris falling from the sky and froze there motionless.
"What kind of bug is this? It's too thin. Look at its peritoneum, which is shriveled. It seems like it hasn't eaten for a long time." Duroken observed it carefully and said.
"Then how did it survive?" asked Negris.
"Maybe he was sleeping just now? He was woken up by us. In places like this where food is scarce, most creatures have the habit of sleeping to reduce energy consumption as much as possible." Duroken said.
While they were discussing, the frozen insect finally moved. It didn't have such a complicated idea. After being frozen for a while, it discovered that what fell was food, so it immediately bit it and began to chew it.
The effect of elf beans is very obvious. After a few mouthfuls, the insects will be full and the peritoneum will swell up like air. When you are full, you will have strength. The insects spread their limbs and disappear after a while.
"It's running pretty fast." Nigris was surprised, knowing that Ganqing's previous slowness was just because he was hungry.
"Every place has its own ecology. In such a harsh environment, the species that can survive must have special abilities. Everyone, please be careful." Duroken said.
As the group walked forward, they encountered some strange creatures from time to time, most of which were low-level bugs. Although bugs were more adapted to the environment here.
"Do you feel that the air is getting thicker and thicker?" the great sage suddenly said.
Duroken quickly waved the golden rod and immediately found the air floating above their heads.
"Why is this happening?" Negris said in confusion: "The thickness and width of Eternal Road have not increased along the way. It is impossible to have such uneven thickness unless there is a source of air in front."
Hearing this, Ange immediately took big strides and accelerated forward. He ran forward for perhaps dozens of kilometers. Finally, he found some faint light in front of him, and he could clearly feel the resistance of the air. The air here was already dense. So much so that you can feel the resistance.
A wide plane appeared in front, covered with green crops, and some light was projected onto it.
The Eternal Road passes through this plane, and the roads at both ends are densely packed with various creatures. Each of these creatures occupies different areas and is orderly.
"Is this the farm boundary? Where does the air come from?" Duroken exclaimed.
The farm boundary is an independent space boundary. It cuts off other planes, and the ecological environment also belongs to other planes. Because things need to be grown, there must be air, sunlight and water.
However, after the barrier is arranged, there is no independent partition. The air will float out from inside and diffuse along the Eternal Road, so the closer to the farm barrier, the richer the air will be.
The air in the Palace of Rest comes from this way, but the space of the Palace of Rest is limited, and it will not change after it is diffused to balance the inside and outside.
However, the Eternal Road is in the void. Its long and thin shape does not have enough gravity to attract the air, and it is constantly lost. The further away from the farm boundary, the thinner the air becomes.
As a result, the land near the farm has become a treasure trove for all creatures to compete for, not only for air, but also for food.
Their arrival caused a commotion among the creatures on this side of the farm. Everyone did not pay attention to the commotion, but instead observed it carefully.
"Most of them are herbivores. Are those Fire Rabbits? The color of their hair is so dim? Isn't their hair fiery red?" Nigris was surprised.
"Maybe it's because there's not enough light. The number of Flame Rabbits is the largest. What are those next to them? Flea monsters? Why are they so small? Aren't they meat eaters? How can they get along well with the Flame Rabbits when they are crowded together?" Durokan said.
"Wait a minute, look what's wrapped on the road of eternity there? It's such a big snake, no way, such a big snake can survive here?" Nigris exclaimed.
I saw a bulge closest to the farm. After it moved, a snake head actually lifted up.
The width of Eternal Road is about fifty or sixty meters, and the thickness is only four or five meters. In other words, the circumference is only about one hundred and thirty at most. This snake has wrapped Eternal Road more than a circle, which means that its circumference is about 130 meters. The body length is almost two hundred meters.
What's inconsistent with its body length is that its diameter is only about three meters. If it weren't for a snake's head, it would be more like an earthworm.
The giant snake raised its head and opened its mouth toward Ange, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth. This was even more unlike a snake. Snakes eat by swallowing and do not need so many teeth.
"It's not like a snake, it's more like an earthworm. It's baring its teeth at us. What should we do?" Negris asked.
Duroken rolled up his sleeves and said, "Let me do a magic trick for everyone." After saying that, he rushed forward.
Those flea monsters and flaming rabbits didn't know why, but they didn't dare to attack him. They allowed Duroken to rush in front of the giant snake and smash it violently, beating the giant snake all over its head and back. He was dragged back alive.
Nigris was dumbfounded: "You call this magic? Are you so strong? Can you drag a two-hundred-meter-long giant snake?"
Duroken said matter-of-factly: "I've already hit people with my fists, doesn't it count as magic? You can do it too. There's no gravity here, so you can drag it."
The King of Alchemy punching someone with his fist can indeed be called magic.
Ange went up and lifted it up, directly lifting the giant snake head in front of him.
There was fear in the eyes of the giant snake. Oh my God, a little thing beat it until it was dizzy. Now another little thing lifted it up. The strength of the opponent's hands made it feel like no matter how hard it struggled, it was in vain. Who have you provoked?
"Can you speak?" Ange asked.
The giant snake nodded quickly, but its forgotten chin was lifted by Ange. When it nodded, its head did not move, but its body arched up.
Ange let go of it and looked at Negris.
At this glance, Nigris knew that it was time to come on stage. He flapped the pages of the book and flew in front of the giant snake and asked: "Are you an earthworm?"
Negris had previously sealed the blank godhead and had not had time to go back. At this moment, he was still in the shape of the Book of Brass. When he saw a book talking, the giant snake was also confused: "What is an earthworm?"
"Have you never seen earthworms? There are no earthworms here? Those long and thin creatures that arch in the soil." Nigris opened a blank page and showed earthworms on it.
"Oh, these are called earthworms? There are some there, and Yantu often digs them up to eat." After saying this, the giant snake realized: "You called me a little bug?!"
The giant snake opened its mouth angrily, and Duroken immediately jumped up and slapped it on the head, making it dizzy again.
The giant snake lowered its head and said reluctantly: "I am a little insect..."
"Who did you learn Human Common Language from?" Nigris asked again.
The giant snake said blankly: "Learn? I've known it since I was a child."
"No one teaches you. You know it from a young age. Bloodline inheritance or soul infusion? Judging from your appearance, it doesn't look like bloodline inheritance. Someone probably instilled it into you. How long have you lived?" Negris asked.
The giant snake asked in confusion: "What does how long mean?"
After some communication, Negris discovered that the giant snake had no concept of time and lifespan. Finally, Durokan had to instill the concept of time into it before it calculated: "It has lived for eleven hundred years."
"That was probably instilled into it by His Majesty. Have you seen this kind of creature?" A black crystal skeleton appeared in the pages of the book.
The giant snake shook his head.
"Oh, you don't know anything about me. What's the use of you?" Nigris complained in disappointment, unable to get the information he wanted most.
"Forget it, tell me why you stay here, and you can live in peace. Why don't you eat all those flea monsters and flaming rabbits?" Negris asked.
The giant snake couldn't help but rolled its eyes, and everyone could see a look of contempt in its eyes. It was obvious that Negris asked a stupid question.
"If you eat it all, there will be nothing left. I will starve to death." The giant snake reluctantly answered this stupid question.
"Aren't you hungry now?" Nigris asked.
"Hungry, endure it, sleep." The giant snake responded.
After some conversation, everyone finally figured out the reason why these carnivorous and vegetarian animals coexist harmoniously.
The flaming rabbit eats the grass growing in the farm boundary, and the flea monster eats the rabbit, but they eat it very sparingly every time, basically choosing the old, weak, sick and disabled to eat.
As a result, these flea monsters were all malnourished, but because their numbers were several orders of magnitude smaller than rabbits, they managed to maintain the stability of the group while sparing food.
"So these flea monsters go to the main plane and eat freely, so they grow taller and stronger? Then what do you eat?" Negris asked.
"I eat them, flea monsters? What are fleas?" The giant snake looked back at the flea monsters. Obviously, they have no names here.
Duroken was shocked: "Is such a little flea monster enough to stuff your teeth? Can you be full after eating this?"
The giant snake shook its head pitifully: "No, just eat two and then go to bed. I'm hungry."
It turns out that they rely on hibernation to delay hunger. If they eat a few times, they go to sleep to minimize their life metabolism. When they wake up next time, the number of flea monsters will be restored.
But isn’t it too frustrating to live like this? Just like you can only eat one meal a day, and you can only eat one bite at each meal, many people will go crazy with hunger, and it is difficult to control themselves from eating the flea monster and the flaming rabbit in one go.
But the giant snake is under control, and so is the flea monster, because those who cannot be controlled are now gone. In an environment where food is extremely scarce, it must have experienced extremely tragic elimination to achieve the current balance. .
Ange flipped his hand and pulled out a handful of elf beans and handed it to the giant snake. He didn't have much other food now, but elf beans were the most important.
"Give it to me?" the giant snake asked in surprise.
Ange nodded, he was a skeleton accustomed to equal exchange.
He threw the beans into the giant snake's half-open mouth. The half-open mouth was already bigger than the basin, and Ange could throw it in with his eyes closed.
The giant snake bit it in one bite and didn't feel what it bit. It didn't know what etiquette was. It slapped its mouth and said: "Either you don't give it, or you give me more, it's not enough to fill the gap between the teeth..."
Before he finished speaking, the giant snake felt a steady stream of warmth surge inside his body, and a sense of fullness that he had never felt before filled his body. The hunger he had been enduring all the time was actually surging under the surge of this warm current. Disappeared without a trace.
Soon, the giant snake burped and felt full.
Ange had calculated the size of it before throwing it. If he threw a few more balls, it would be crushed to death.
"This...I...burp, I'm so full. What kind of treasure is this?" The giant snake was so excited that it was incoherent.
Is it difficult to imagine how a giant snake that has been hungry for more than a thousand years feels when it is full for the first time? It’s unimaginable because no one wants to eat here.
"Elf beans," said Nigris.
"Is there more? Can you give me some more? I've never been full. I feel full of strength now." The giant snake said excitedly.
"No, just answer a few questions. I'll give you a handful. That's enough. Okay, you can go back to sleep. We're leaving." Nigris said.
How can this be done? After finally having a chance to eat, the giant snake seemed to be anxious about something, and almost couldn't help but want to take action. However, the strength of these people in front of him was too terrifying. In the end, the giant snake resisted the urge, and his eyes Then he asked: "Where are you going?"
"The end of the road," said Negris.
"Ride me, ride me, and I will take you there. As long as you ensure that I have enough to eat, I will carry you to the end of the void." The giant snake said quickly.
"No, let's walk over." Nigris didn't want to bring a guy with such a big appetite. The handful of fairy beans just now was enough for the big cat to eat for a long time.
"Walk there? Do you know how long this road is? A yellow lizard man once came here. He said it would take three thousand years to reach the end of this road." The giant snake used the time unit it had just learned.
Three thousand years? ! If you walk 20 kilometers a day, there are 365 days in a year, and you can cover more than 20 million kilometers in three thousand years.
This number is too outrageous. Even at a 10% discount, it is still more than two million kilometers. One percent is still 200,000 kilometers. How long will it take your feet?
"How is that possible? Are you kidding me? Your nonsense is too outrageous." Nigris shouted, and then asked as if he remembered something: "Is this the kind of lizard man you are talking about?"
Negris opened the pages of the book, revealing the appearance of the Oron mage Galigu.
"Yes, that's it." said the giant snake.
Nigris was a little unsure. If it was the Oron Space Mage, then its statement might be true. How many kilometers long is this road really?
Everyone looked at each other for a few moments, then the great sage summoned the hearse and started galloping.
"Come on, big snake, catch up. We will ride you when we catch up." Nigris shouted to the giant snake behind him.
The giant snake chased until it was almost vomiting bile, but it still watched the hearse go away in despair. In the end, it had to stop and went back cursing.
On the tenth day, the great sage could no longer hold on, so Ange took over the driving of the hearse. The hearse ran like this for two months and finally reached the end of the eternal road.
From a distance, everyone could clearly see a black crystal skeleton standing at the end. It was walking forward, frozen there, and no soul fluctuations could be felt on its body.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
"King! King! What's wrong with you? Wake up, you don't want to die! King!"
Duroken and the Great Sage rushed to the black crystal skeleton and cried excitedly.
"Who is crying over there? It's so noisy. Do you have any sense of justice?" An angry voice suddenly sounded.
