Chapter 327 Are you awake?

As long as you are alive, you need light and fire.

This is the well-known survival rule of the Lantern Race.

The lamp kite was dug out from the ground and the crystal was lit, that's what the senior lamp clan told him.

"Use fire, never forget fire."

Deng Yuan was still in a daze at the time and didn't understand anything.

It feels as if it has forgotten a lot of things, and it seems that everything around it is familiar, but in the end it all turns into indescribable confusion and disorder.

"Don't worry, every lamp family came here like this."

The senior is holding a bright lantern floating in the air, and carrying an iron pickaxe. The crystal on top of it is shimmering. This is the way the Lanterns express their smiles: "When I woke up, I felt a splitting headache at first, and then I seemed to forget Everything, then begins to be delusional with its own existence."

"It's okay, get up, the fog beast will come soon."

This senior named Deng Gu was digging materials underground, and finally found Deng Yuan.

Deng Yuan was puzzled. According to the common sense of the Lantern Clan, the Lantern Clan has always been attacked and killed by ferocious fog beasts. Why wasn't he dragged out and eaten by the fog beasts while he was sleeping?

It is easier to deal with a sleeper who will not resist than to hunt an active lamp family.

"Who knows?"

Denggu said: "There are many strange things in Fog Harbor. Why are there so many black fogs? Why do they never dissipate? Why do fog beasts attack the Lanterns? Why are they afraid of lights...Why do we exist?"

"no one knows."

"But there is one thing the Lanterns need to know, look forward."

The crystal above its head changes from dark to dark according to the voice: "Survive first."

In this way, like other awakened Lanterns, Dengyuan followed Denggu and entered a short period of learning and recovery.

During this stage, Deng Yuan learned a lot.

The life of the lamp family is mainly divided into two parts: finding and making lamps, and everything revolves around these two cores.

Search, looking for various materials and the same kind sleeping in the ground.

The population of the Lantern Clan has always been very small, and now it is less than 3,000. According to the dictation of the Lantern Clan elders, when the Lantern Clan was at its peak, their number reached tens of thousands.

That was when the **** [Firefly God] was still there, and the oracle sometimes came with iron and fire falling from the sky, bringing new guidance and hope to the Lantern Clan.

At this time, the apostle who is burning all over his body will also interpret the lamp family.

It's a pity that as the gods disappeared in the world pot, the oracle never appeared again, and the fog beasts became more unscrupulous, and hanging lanterns became the key to survival.

There must be enough materials to make a hanging lamp, and the kerosene or solid fuel inside must be replenished regularly.

The number of Lanterns is decreasing, partly due to the attack of fog beasts, and partly due to natural death.

The bright light of the crystal above the head comes from the self-burning of the lamp family.

There is a long life ridge in the body of the lamp family. This life ridge is the core protected by the outer metal shell. The life ridge allows the lamp family to think, communicate, and create.

But the life ridge will burn slowly and illuminate the crystal lamp, which is also the proof that the lamp family is still alive.

With continuous consumption, this pillar of life will eventually collapse into fly ash, and the Lantern Race will also die.

Deng Yuan was still very curious.

If the life ridge in the crystal is extinguished and a lamp family is buried deep underground again, will it be possible to continue to survive for a long time without being attacked by fog beasts?

This approach seems to work.

After Deng Gu heard Deng Yuan's words, the light in the crystal dimmed a bit: "You are partly right."

"If you extinguish the life ridge and fall into a deep sleep, it will indeed not attract fog beasts. They will only attack the lamp family with burning characteristics..."

But that doesn't mean it's safe.

It paused for a moment: "After sleeping, the biggest enemy of the Lantern Race will become one of our own."

"Why is the population of the Lantern Clan less and less? The external threat is the fog beast, and the internal reason is the hunting within the Lantern Clan. This kind of hunting will not be exposed to the public environment, and it is stealthy and fast."

Deng Gu said in a cold tone: "Lamps that don't burn are the best ready-made materials. No one will notice and care about the disappearance of a non-luminous lamp."

"Even if it is a normal dying Lantern tribe, there will be many similar covets in the body, and they are waiting for the day when the life spine of the deceased is completely reduced to fly ash... Without the deterrence of the firefly god, many Lantern tribes are even more unscrupulous, and those guys even directly hunt The same kind. Anyway, there is a black mist covering it, and no one will see it."

"Why haven't we produced a master for many years? This is also one reason. The lamp family is constantly declining and dying."

Deng Yuan shuddered when she heard that.

The same kind is also the enemy.

It also understood at this time, why most of the lamp family lives alone, because the same kind itself is a potential enemy and competitor.

The lamp family has been reduced from the glorious god-given lamp maker family in the past to the craftsmen and servants of the gods who took the responsibility of creating the sun, to the barbaric group where the order is constantly collapsing. Swallowed by the pot of the world.

Deng Yuan boldly asked: "Then why did you wake me up instead of using me as a material..."

"Of course I would."

The crystals of the Valley of Lights flicker rhythmically.

This indicates that its attitude is serious and formal.

"But I won't do it."

"I was also a sleeping Lantern Clan, and I was helped by a Lantern Clan elder. When several Lantern Clan apostles dismembered me, it attracted fog beasts and scared those guys away."

The person who lit the fire for me, I will never forget, and I will continue to pass the fire on.

Deng Yuan was excited to hear that.

There are still brave and upright people in the clan.

"It's funny, though."

The crystal of Denggu flickered, and said with a smile: "The elder is called Dengcheng, and he told me honestly that its hanging lamp was broken, so he came to ask for help when he saw a lamp family here. Everyone was scared away."

"It wasn't a great rescuer, but it saved me and lit a fire for me. This is what the Lantern family should look like in my mind."

"We can be weak and fearful, but we should also have courage and persistence. Just like the great masters in the past, creating the sun and dispelling the black mist is what we should do for ourselves and for all the Lanterns."

The crystal of the Valley of Lights burns like a flame, and it shows the burning color of the heart without hesitation.

Dengyuan named itself , it heard that there is a thing called kite, which can fly into the sky and soar above the fog. The kite can freely look down on the ground, free from heavy ground forces.

It wants to create a new kind of sky lantern.

The sky lantern must not only be able to illuminate, but also lead the lantern family all the way through the sea of fog surrounded by fog beasts, and fly to the unknown distance, no matter what is waiting there.

Dengyuan put all her energy into making sky lanterns.

It collects all kinds of materials and resources above and below the ground, uses the skills and techniques handed down by the masters of the past, and makes a lot of new attempts.

The sky lantern is essentially an advanced version of the hanging lantern, but its scale and volume are hundreds of times that of the former.

To ensure the battery life of the sky lantern, it is best to use the advanced material Almighty Stone as a support, which can ensure that both kerosene and solid fuel can be fully utilized, reduce consumption and enhance brightness.

Deng Kite has received help from many lamp clans, including advice on resources and technical crafts, among them there are even those who hunt the same kind.

It has been many years, and no one has tried to make sky lanterns anymore. It is difficult enough to keep the hanging lights on and alive.

At this time, Deng Yuan realized that the Deng family itself is also complicated.

Darkness and light, filth and ideals, fighting spirit and negativity, these contradictory things exist in the Lantern family at the same time.

After many years, the sky lanterns shined again in the sky, and all the lantern clans looked up at the top of their heads again. Under the bright and dazzling light, the crystals above their heads shone with joyful fire.

Different from the past, the sky lanterns this time can also fly with lantern kites.

The sky lantern flew higher and higher, as if being held up by an invisible hand, it went straight to the top of the black cloud.

The crystal of the master of the Lantern Family is already dim enough. It sits in a small wooden bucket attached to the sky lantern, watching the sky lantern rise slowly, break through the black mist, and enter a place that has never been seen before.

It looks down.

The black mist forms an isolated black ocean under the wooden bucket. They are thick and dense, and isolate the higher sky from below. On top of the black mist, there is a huge luminous body that is shining with boundless radiance .

Deng Yuan stared blankly at the golden heart of light.

It turned out that the sun was still there, but it was above the black fog, and was cut off from the Lantern Clan by the sea of fog below. Clouds are white and filled with light around them.

The original appearance of the world made Deng Yuan's mood agitated.

Must tell everyone, must tell everyone, this world is full of light and heat!

As long as the black mist is dispelled, everything will be fine!

But... how do I go back?

This is a journey that has never been thought of returning, because when the lantern kite was tied to the sky lantern, it had no such intention, and it was exhausted and could not return at all.

Just when it was thinking hard, the whole sky lantern was suddenly pulled by an indescribable force, and entered a strange world all the way.

Dengyuan fell into a kind of suffocation for a while, as if it had returned to the original state of sleepy sleep.

Are you dying?

This is the feeling of death... I am really unwilling, unwilling...

The world became shaky, and became like a piece of sawdust falling into the sea of clouds, swaying and falling with the waves.

The violent shock caused by the impact brought Deng Yuan back to his senses.

It looks at the hand first.

The thread is still tightly wrapped in the hand.

Then the sky lantern is still there...I'm back! Back to Fogport!

Very good!

Deng Yuan struggled to get up, but found that her body was not in control at all.

The body was severely damaged, and the hands and feet of the metal structure were even in pieces.

"Are you awake?"

A person wrapped in silver armor is looking down at the lantern kite on the ground.

"Who are you?"

Deng Yuan has never seen such a person before, and the surroundings are even brighter, the light intensity is dazzling and unreal, and the ground is full of precious pure sand and gravel.

There are several strange creatures around the armored man, some of them are small and have tails, some are tall, and their bodies are wrapped in some kind of cloth... They whispered, but Deng Yuan couldn't understand what they said.

Only the man in armor can understand his own words.

"What kind of place is this?" Deng Yuan endured the pain and asked.

"This is Yunzhong Temple, the place where Lord Yao shines. The place where you are now falling is outside Shacheng."

The voice of the other party seemed very happy: "I didn't expect to be able to see the Lantern Clan in this way. You must have suffered a lot to come here, right?"

Deng Yuan was taken aback: "You know the Lantern Race, is there a Lantern Race here?"

"Yes, I am."

The armored man patted his chest, making a metallic sound.

"My name is Deng Cheng, but I've been dead for many years. If I'm lucky, I can be taken in by Lord Yao God's world."

Light multiplication?

Deng Yuan suspected that all of this was an illusion at the time of death: "Do you know Lantern Valley?"

"Denggu... I seem to have a little impression."

The other party seems to be in a memory: "Ah, I remembered, it is a lamp family that I once lit and awakened. Do you know it? Is it okay?"

"It's been dead for a long time..."

Deng Yuan said with some melancholy.

"The brightness of the crystal is not enough, you are very weak now." The person who claimed to be a lamp rider observed it for a while: "Come on, lift it into the steam carriage and send it back to Shacheng for maintenance and treatment."

"I know you have a lot of doubts now, let's come one by one, you take a break first, don't burn yourself too much."

Deng Yuan said calmly: "My life spine has been burned out, and I will die soon."

The other party said: "This place is full of fire and light. You are still alive and will continue to live."

"How can it be"

"nothing is impossible."

Leng said in a firm and confident tone: "I said before, this is the world illuminated by God Yao. In Shacheng, death is just another beginning."

"What's more, there are omnipotent stones and magic oil here, which can assist the life ridge to continue burning. Don't worry, you won't die!"

Everything is like a dream.

Deng Kite looked overhead.

The light of the golden sun spreads all over the world. There is no darkness and fog beasts here, and the gods are still there.
