Chapter 436 A Rare Person Through the Ages
Lu Yao directly incorporated [Tianzhui Island] into the ring group of the whirlpool world, anchoring the world with the Tree of Silvanus.
[Do you want to connect this world to the Tree of Sylvanus? 】
[It is expected to consume 971 points of faith]
After completing this set of standard procedures, Lu Yao directly checked the backend of Tianzhui Island.
…
[Tianchui Island]—Gravel World—Abandoned—The 4179th Era is in Progress
…
[Introduction] and [Development History] only have records and descriptions after the 1143rd era. Before that, they were all blank, without a single word.
Lu Yao estimated.
The most likely possibility is that this part of the information was deliberately deleted by someone who set sail.
There is very little water on Tianchui Island, and there is only one kind of life called [Moai], which is a stone man made of the earth element. Only earth elemental creatures like them can exist without relying on water sources.
Although it is named an island, it is extremely short of water, which makes it very strange.
In the rules of this world, a large number of entries related to [water] are missing and destroyed - this kind of destruction is different from the clean and neat style of erasing historical records.
For example, the natural phenomenon [Fog] exists on Tianchui Island, but [Rain] is completely chaotic and collapsed, unable to function at all. The description and definition of [Hail] are very complete, but because of other water-related entries was damaged, preventing it from actually landing.
If it is man-made targeted destruction of this world, [water] can be completely wiped out.
But it's not.
Lu Yao speculated that Tianchui Island should have encountered some kind of disaster, which caused a large number of world rules to collapse, and the one that was most affected was water.
There are very few water-related rules left in the entire world, and it is difficult for the water element to continue to transform.
In addition to the local [Moai], there was also a visitor to Tianzhui Island.
This visitor is described as a "wonderful man of the ages" on the world's backstage, but that's all. There are no more detailed descriptions and records.
Lu Yao thought, he would have to trouble Song Shiyi again.
It's not good to bother her like this. It would be nice if I could get a committee database account. Of course, this can only be thought about at the moment.
A sentence recorded in the world encyclopedia may be a long natural evolution at the level of the entire world. To know more about Tianchui Island, you have to enter it personally.
Fortunately, now that we have the Yellow Turban Lux, it is very convenient to do this.
Soon, Lu Yao and Isabel entered Tiansui Island together.
…
Arriving at Tianchui Island, Lu Yao's first feeling was desolation.
Everything as far as the eye can see here is filled with rocks and Gobi. The whole world is like a kingdom of stones that has dried up for a long time, leaving only a desert-like yellow color on the earth.
I don’t know whether I should call it lucky or unfortunate. Due to the breaking of a large number of rules, the rock formations here are very complete and have not been weathered by natural phenomena such as wind and rain. The original appearance is well maintained.
"Sir, it is not easy for new life to be born here."
Isabel looked around: "Even elemental life requires the movement and flow of multiple elements to give birth to new life during the movement. In time, this should be the next Yunzhong Temple."
Lu Yao noticed that there were three gray-brown stone statues on a stone platform not far ahead.
He stepped onto the stone platform.
The stone statues here have a wide square face, with eyes, nose and mouth carved using simple and rough techniques. The head occupies half of their body size, and there are no arms or legs. Their heads were raised slightly, as if looking into the distance.
Three stone statues are lined up, side by side.
Lu Yao discovered that the three stone statues were of different heights.
The stone statues on the left and right sides are tall and majestic. They are about five meters tall, which is about the same as a two-story building. The stone statue in the middle is only about three meters tall, and looks like a little brother among its kind.
Not only that, the stone statues in the middle are still alive.
…
【Moai LV14】
HP: 610/610
Mana: 1/1
Damage: 12
Defense: 12
Speed: 7
【Elf】
Elf creatures have a long lifespan, but they also grow very slowly.
【Thick skin】
【Earth Element】
…
Although it stood or squatted motionless, the simulator judged that it was alive.
Lu Yao raised his hand, and a bolt of lightning fell in front of the stone statue.
The ground was blasted into a black mass, and white smoke rose.
The stone man who was originally a stone statue immediately got up and ran away.
Although the Moai race are stone people, their bodies are not well-proportioned. Compared with their overly heavy and huge heads, their arms and legs are a bit short. It's shoulders swayed from side to side as it ran, as if it couldn't bear the weight of its head, and its posture was somewhat joyful.
Of course, it could also be that the moai in front of me looks like this.
Soon, the stone man was driven back by Isabel.
Like an ostrich, it put away its arms and legs and returned to the state of a stone statue looking into the distance, trying to deceive the powerful enemy in this way.
Lu Yao was amused and walked up to it: "Can you talk?"
"..."
Seeing that the other party was still pretending to be dead, Lu Yao raised his index finger, and another bolt of lightning fell behind Moai, making it tremble with fear.
"Has the original intention spoken now?"
"..."
Lu Yao was a little unhappy.
How about pretending to leave it alone?
A bolt of lightning fell on the moai, causing it to tremble and run away, only to be driven back again by Isabel riding a wand.
"Last warning, speak nicely."
Lu Yao said seriously.
Isabel seemed to want to say something, but her lips didn't move in the end.
The stone man struck by lightning suddenly knelt on the ground, showing a universal gesture of submission.
Lu Yao suddenly thought.
Is there a possibility that the Moai race can't speak?
The World Encyclopedia doesn't seem to mention that they can speak.
After trying again, Lu Yao was sure.
It really can't speak.
It's all a misunderstanding.
So, how to communicate?
On the other side of the simulator, players can directly read the thoughts of pixel life through the dialog box, but they can't talk directly. But the agent can descend to the world of the virtual universe, and the dialogue is possible, but the power of the god is restricted by the agent's body.
Lu Yao closed his eyes and checked the encyclopedia of Tianzhui Island.
[Moai] [Type] [Appearance] [Life Habits]...
Found it.
Lu Yao opened his eyes and touched the gray-brown body of the stone man in front of him.
Both parties immediately entered a wonderful state of vibration communication.
This is the way Moai communicates, physical touch.
"What's your name?"
"No name."
"Then how do the Moai call each other?"
"Use body parts to call each other. If you touch with your left hand, you call it the left hand. If you touch with your right hand, you call it the right hand. If you touch the back, you call it the back."
"Then you're called Fourteen."
"Yes."
"Are you a god?"
"I guess so."
"God! God! God! Strong!"
...
The Moai tribe expresses clearly, but they don't have those complex and delicate emotions. They can only be straightforward.
This has reduced a lot of trouble for Lu Yao.
Fourteen said that the two stone statues next to it were the elders who once took care of it, but they have gradually stopped moving over the long years, and have completely lost their life and vibration.
Moai cannot complete self-reproduction, and their number has been decreasing.
In the past, there were a total of 120,000 Moai on Tianzhui Island, but they all died over time. Up to now, there are only 400 Moai that can still move in the whole world.
The mission of Moai is to wait for the arrival of ships and the sea.
"The ship and the sea will come here, and then we will need Moai. We will move the things on the ship and wait for other ships and the next sea."
Fourteen said: "We wait, we look, the ship and the sea will come back."
Lu Yao roughly understood.
This day, the fallen island is more like a temporary port built by a god, or a transfer warehouse. When the ship and the sea arrive, these Moai as workers will participate in the labor of carrying.
But for some reason, the ship and the sea never appeared here again.
Lu Yao asked it: "Is there no god here?"
"There is a god!"
Fourteen said: "He is the amazing [Eternal Wonder], He is the friend of Moai, He is a powerful god!"
Another ancient wonder.
Lu Yao asked it what kind of god this was, but Fourteen couldn't answer. It didn't have direct contact with [Eternal Wonder], and heard it from other Moai.
And the Moai who had contacted this god have all turned into stone statues.
Fourteen suddenly said: "The [Eternal Wonder] left a stone slab! He recorded the Moai on the stone slab!"
Lu Yao was overjoyed and asked it to lead the way.
Fourteen switched to stone man mode, and it kept walking at a constant speed all the way, but it looked more like its legs were wading through the stones on the ground.
It led Lu Yao and Isabel across a hill that looked like a terraced field and arrived at a place surrounded by hundreds of stone statues. These Moai were all dead, and the stone statues were still looking into the distance, waiting for the ship and the sea.
The stone statues surrounded an extremely large stone slab in the middle. There were many black symbols left on the stone slab. These symbols were densely packed, and the surface of the stone slab was covered with tiny characters, like some kind of seal.
Lu Yao was stunned.
How come these symbols and words are Chinese?
The stone slab is full of traditional Chinese characters, written in the ancient way from right to left and from top to bottom.
Lu Yao looked at the rightmost row.
"Diary of a Tour of the Falling Island"
...
He hurriedly found the last line again.
The signature is "Written by Xu Hongzu Xiake of Jiangyin".
Lu Yao was shocked.
[A rare person in history] turned out to be the famous ancient traveler, Xu Xiake?
