Last Totem Novel - Chapter 96
Chapter 96 Hope
While his consciousness was blurry and he was half asleep, he seemed to see You Ge staring at him, as if he saw Ye Xin Ling staring at him, as if he saw Mu Yu Ling Lan staring at him again after many years …
“Little scum, what are your plans in the future?” “Little scumbag, can I send you to school?” “When you were at school, big sister would often visit you and study with you, okay?”
‘”Master, are you satisfied with Xin Ling’s service?” “I can drive, handle food, relax my master’s mood, tidy up the room, and warm the bed.” “Master, are you satisfied with Xin Ling’s service?” “Master, are you awake?”
“You … are you an iron slag?” “How do you prove it?” “Your arrogance has already proved your identity. You are iron slag.”
After a while, he seemed to see the scroll from the temple, and whispered in his ear …
“Wrong, dirty, evil existence.” “They’re not humans, they shouldn’t exist!”
“Hello, friend from afar …” “To commemorate this forgotten history.”
“Unfortunately, the Temple of Glory is no longer here …”
“Please take a look for me and see if there is a legendary temple there.” “Is there … is there any hope for us …”
In the deepest depths of his heart, there seemed to be a voice telling him that he could not die. There were still many people waiting for him to live, and he could not give up just like that. He suddenly woke up and struggled to get up, but his body was unconscious.
Looking at the vast and silent sea, he once again fell into despair.
Could it be that this is the end …
No! He roared as his heart ignited with raging flames. He struggled violently and finally propped up his numb body.
However, all of this was in vain. The only remaining bit of strength was slowly flowing away. He couldn’t see any hope, not even fantasies. In this vast sea, who could save him?
Perhaps, it’s really going to end …
He gave up lazily and allowed his body to fall. At this moment, a metal pendant slid out of his collar.
He lay on the ice-cold raft and gently opened the pendant. The corners of the lips of the people in the photos curled up slightly, just like the enchanting and charming smiles of the past. Between his eyebrows, there was a faint look of contempt and a meaningful provocation.
Looking at her silently, he suddenly missed the days of Tieshan Town and the warm embrace.
He gently stroked the photo. If he would regret it, then at this moment, he did regret it.
All of a sudden, he seemed to have touched a bulge, and it was somewhere in an evil place. Thus, he smacked his lips and pressed down.
With a “pa-pa-pa” sound, Lena’s photo popped up, revealing the interior of the pendant.
A crimson serum was lying there quietly.
He took it out with trembling hands. The crimson serum was shining brightly in the dawn. What flowed inside was the legendary fire of life. This small branch was a priceless treasure refined from hundreds of sand worm eggs with a market value of tens of thousands of gold. He clearly knew that this must be the last hope she had given him in exchange for her mother’s relic, the elven stone ring.
“Next time, I’ll save you!” He roared and used his last bit of strength to clench the serum and stab it into his chest.
In an instant, a warm current spread from his chest to his limbs and bones. Like a phoenix’s nirvana, surging power surged into his ice-cold body. He slowly crawled up, his chest filled with a dull aura that was about to erupt. He couldn’t help but roar into the sky.
At the same time, the insect shell naturally appeared, and its segmental limbs flew out uncontrollably. Immediately after, the damaged insect shell peeled off one layer after another, and a layer of newly born shell with thick fur grew out at a speed visible to the naked eye. As for the five newly born knuckles, they gradually changed colors. From a pale yellow color, they gradually turned into a deep red color, and then from a deep red color, they turned into a dark black color …
“Alice, scan your body.”
[Yes, my captain]
Along with the girl’s mechanical synthesis, the red comet shot out five beams of red, yellow, blue, green, and white light that swept back and forth on Tie Zha’s body. Bright red light comes from the iris scanner, orange yellow light from the alpha radiometer, light blue light from the coordinate locator, light green light from the three-dimensional image generator, and milky white light from the gene scanner.
[Captain, your adrenaline levels are picking up rapidly and your muscles are getting finer.]
[According to the Knights Templar’s combat strength evaluation criteria, your overall quality has reached the Golden Beginner Stage]
“Alice, move forward at full speed!”
[Yes, my captain]
As soon as he finished speaking, the twelve airbags of the red comet activated at the same time. High-pressure gas sprayed out, and the small raft rode through the wind and waves, rapidly advancing forward!
A tremendous wind pressure descended on his face. Tie Zha placed his hands in front of his chest and stood at the forefront of the raft. He looked towards the far north.
A few days later …
The outline of land gradually appeared in the north. It was an icy world. There were ice everywhere, no snow, no mud, no traces of life, only endless glaciers.
He stepped on the motorcycle, twisted the accelerator, and flew to the end of the world, the last stop on his journey.
A month later …
In this world of ice, the iron slag finally reached the coordinates recorded in the scroll.
It was already evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the frozen world. He climbed up a high ground and looked up. On the distant horizon, above the thousand-year-old glacier, a lofty ancient temple towered in a place filled with clouds and mist.
He forcefully twisted the accelerator and rushed towards the glacier where the temple was located.
A moment later, he climbed up the glacier.
However, there was only a desolate ruin waiting for him.
Rocks were everywhere in front of him, and there were collapsed stone houses everywhere. These mottled stones seemed to tell of the ruthlessness of time. At the end of the ruins, at the highest point of the glacier, was a temple that had more than half collapsed …
The journey of ten thousand kilometers had been extremely difficult, and what awaited him was actually this scene.
Looking at the collapsed temple, he took a deep breath. In an instant, disappointment, loneliness, exhaustion, and all sorts of negative emotions surged into his heart.
At this point, there was no food, no fuel, and no supplies to survive. He hadn’t eaten for many days, so he could only eat some ice to replenish his moisture.
He sat like this, staring at the ruins of the temple without moving for a long time.
Although more than half of the temple in front of him had collapsed, it was still magnificent and dignified. He was like an old man who had experienced a hundred generations of vicissitudes, standing on a tall glacier with a walking stick, staring at the vast earth.
If you can’t go back, just bury it here …
After an unknown amount of time, night fell.
He stood up and was about to leave, but in the depths of the ruins, in the collapsed temple, he saw a faint flame …
