When I first learned of Wagner's whereabouts, I was still puzzled by his choice: why did this genius mad pharmacist, who was determined to spread these dangerous and lethal toxins throughout the continent, stay away from densely populated downtowns? Come to this inaccessible glacier and snowfield? How will he spread these toxins?
But it didn¡¯t take long for me to understand his purpose:
Morning River!
Yes, the Chenxi River is the river with the broadest basin on the Falvey continent. Its nearly two thousand miles of long waterway flows through countless forests, pastures, plains, and basins, crossing the territory of more than ten countries, and nurturing millions of different people. Mainland residents of different races and origins gave birth to the splendid Falvi culture. This ancient and beautiful river is the most important bloodline of the Falvi Continent, the river of life and the source of history for the civilization of the entire continent.
However, if I am unfortunate enough to guess that Wagner, a crazed lunatic, can find a way to completely pollute the source of the Dawn River with the destructive toxins in his hands, turning the entire river into a poisonous stream that breeds endless death, then this river will carry The gentle river water that carries the civilization and history of the entire continent will turn into an evil dragon that no one can resist overnight, easily destroying the ecosystem of the entire continent, ruthlessly submerging and swallowing all the creatures it encounters along the way. Until it turns into a pile of withered bones, even unable to die.
Therefore, when I heard the sound of gurgling water from the broken rock formations, my heart immediately tightened. Following the sound, I saw a huge rock protruding from the mountain wall not far away.
What is very different from the dark gray shale that can be seen everywhere in the entire mountain peak is that this rock is reddish brown in color, thick at the bottom and pointed at the top, taking on the shape of a water drop, with some high-temperature burns on the edges. traces of passing. This is definitely not like the rocks originally produced in the Kokla Mountains, but more like - I know this sounds really weird, but I did have this absurd idea at this moment - a rock that flew from the sky. The huge boulder fell into the Kokla Mountain, plunged into the mountain wall, and was buried deep in it.
How could I have such a stupid idea? Immediately, I sneered at my ridiculous idea. This is already the tallest mountain range in the entire continent. How could there be such a huge rock falling from a higher place than it? ? Where does it come from? How did it come about? Could it be that the stars in the sky have fallen to the earth This idea is so ridiculous, even ignorant children will laugh at my random thoughts.
No matter where this weird-shaped giant rock came from, under the inclination of this rock, a hidden cave was suddenly exposed - even though I knew this was impossible, I still couldn't help but think, This cave really looks like a crack left by a rock falling from a high altitude and smashing through the mountain wall - the sound of running water I heard was vaguely coming from this cave.
"I have to go in and take a look" I pointed to the entrance of the cave and said to my comrades, " maybe the mission I want to complete is here."
My comrades followed my advice - with the blessing of the Supreme God - they made a wise decision, for which billions of creatures on the entire continent should be forever grateful to them - and of course, me.
Just standing at the entrance of the cave, I felt a moist warmth. There was no snow at the entrance of the cave, but a large layer of ice. This piece of ice, which is unknown how thick it is, is cold and delicate. It seems that it has been here since the birth of the world and has never melted.
Because the cave is covered with ice everywhere, the sunlight shines into the depths of the cave through layers of refraction, so although the view in the cave is not very good, we can barely see the surrounding environment clearly.
The walls of the cave are covered with ice edges of varying lengths and thicknesses. Some have turned into a hard white color and are tightly cemented with the surrounding rocks. They are as thin and sharp as spears, while others seem to be forming. Melting, and a few drops of water dripping down from time to time. The further we walked in, the moister the air we breathed became. Some tiny ice edges fell from the rock wall from time to time, and the "squeaking" sound kept going back and forth in the cave, getting louder and louder. It was thrilling to watch, as if the entire cave would collapse at any moment.
I walked with fear, fearing that if my feet were a little heavier, it would trigger a catastrophic landslide. But my friends didn¡¯t seem to have such worries. They watched the strange scenery in the cave along the way, and from time to time they made loud exclamations of admiration:
"The scenery here is so beautiful!" Xian Ge Yayi looked around in surprise, her eyes almost going beyond the rims of her glasses.
"The scenery here is good" Yangjia said angrily, "but the scenery on the hillside is also very good"??bright. "
"What do you know?" Fei Yin also interjected and joked, "The scenery under the snowdrifts is more beautiful. Some people are so fascinated that they are reluctant to lift their heads"
The Elf Marksman, who suffers from severe fear of heights, was dragged up to the Kokla Pass by one foot from the Yangtze River Delta and I. Thank God, the Kokla Pass is a more rugged mountainous area, full of huge and rugged rocks. The icicles and icicles blocked our line of sight - mainly Xiange Yayi's - so that he would not be frightened by the height difference. Only then did this useless guy, who had only screamed in terror and flopped on the ground along the way, regain his senses. Learn to walk upright.
No wonder the scenery in front of him made him so excited: when he closed his eyes, he was still in the frigid tundra zone, and when he opened his eyes, he saw karst landforms. This strong difference in scenery is very novel to everyone. of. For those of us who witnessed the entire journey, the impact was not that great.
Probably remembering the embarrassment Xian Ge Yayi had on the way, Yan Zhen couldn't help but burst into laughter. The ridiculed elf marksman touched his pointed ears in embarrassment, lowered his head with shame and anger, and said quietly:
"After all, I am also a patient"
"Shhh" They were talking lively, and I suddenly lowered my voice to stop the noise and pointed to the front of the cave.
The dark walls in the depths of the cave were suddenly covered with mottled light marks. Red and blue light waves were irregularly flickering, scattering and flickering with the ice, illuminating the entire cave in a strange and bizarre light, emitting a ray of light. A spooky and eerie atmosphere. As the light traces swallowed, a hollow and stiff voice sounded low, spitting out countless chaotic and complicated syllables, echoing on the cave walls. I didn¡¯t understand a word of what they represented, but every syllable instinctively made me feel disgusted and evil, as if an invisible and cold claw scratched my heart, making me sick all over. Goosebumps.
Ominous dark clouds shrouded my mind, and I felt my left chest twitching. I gently took out my shield and sword, and quickened my pace and rushed forward. Fei Yin and the others also noticed the abnormality of the situation, stopped making noise and followed my footsteps.
As soon as I turned a corner, a tall figure came into view. His torso was wrapped in a huge cloak, and even his head was hidden deep in the hood, with only two palms sticking out of the clothes. His hands were stiff blue-grey, with no trace of blood. Some places were corroded and broken, and a little dark yellow pus flowed out from time to time.
His arms were stretched out flat, his hands were spread wide, and his neck was tilted upward, like a huge bat with wings spread. In front of him, a pentagonal magic circle was suspended out of thin air, alternately emitting red and indigo light. In the middle of the magic circle, there is a bottle of blue-gray potion inlaid - who would have imagined that this potion, which is made of the cheapest crystal fragments and has very low gloss and transparency, only requires five. Silver coins can buy a dozen old bottles that are sealed with a moldy rubber stopper. What they contain may be the most dangerous and terrifying thing that has ever appeared in this world since the creation of the gods. ?
A mad genius scientist with an extremely twisted psychology, and a bottle of toxin that is so poisonous that you cannot imagine. If all this is not enough to destroy your tenacious nerves and plunge you into desperate panic, then hey, try this: There is also a river here.
Yes, a river!
Perhaps your eyes will tell you that this is by no means a river, at most it is just a clear and shallow stream. It slowly flows out from the west side of the mountain wall and flows to the east side along the sloping mountain. This quiet flow has been going on for who knows how many thousands of years. The thin flow of water has polished the ground hundreds of millions of times, and finally washed out a short channel on the hard rock - in fact, saying it is a channel is too exaggerated. , its deepest part barely covered the calf, and its shallowest part couldn't even get the feet wet. This water trace, which is no more than ten steps long, is just a short section of an underground undercurrent that occasionally emerges from the surface.
However, this is indeed a river - not only a river, but the longest and largest river in the entire continent. If my guess is correct, this may be the earliest part of the Dawn River that emerges from the earth. Two thousand miles of majestic mountains and rivers, five thousand years of splendor, and the source of blood for hundreds of millions of creatures all stem from this short stream. the first step.
Now will the demise of the world also start from here?
"Wagner" I stared at the distorted face and roared in a low voice. I don¡¯t know whether it was because of anger or despair, but I felt cold all over my body. The biting coldness was like a sharp ice edge, piercing directly into my heart and lungs. My blood seems to have stopped flowing, and all the colors and things around me have lost their image, exceptThis ugly back figure was so clearly reflected in my pupils.
Am I late? My heart is as heavy as ice - is his ritual of spreading poison complete? Is everything irreversible? Could this world, which has been lavished with infinite kindness and care from the Creator God, be destroyed so easily by the hands of a madman?
This is all my fault!
I couldn¡¯t help but fall into deep self-blame: I wasted too much time along the way and allowed him to escape my pursuit again and again. Many times, I even saw his back, but in the end I still let him escape. I lost too many opportunities at the bridge, at the ferry, and even on the way up the snow-capped mountains. I could have prevented this from happening a long time ago, if I had tried harder and harder!
The thing is, when you do it, you always think that you have worked hard enough; but at the last moment, you will always find that you have never worked hard enough. Many irreparable regrets in the world often originate from this. And from now on, I don¡¯t know if I will have more opportunities to regret
The groaning sound gradually became deeper. He took off his hood and turned around slowly.
"Ah" Fei Yin couldn't help but screamed softly, and subconsciously took two steps closer behind me.
The thin and skinny pharmacist from a few months ago had completely lost his shape: his hair had fallen out - in fact, his scalp was almost gone, revealing a large white skull; his eye sockets were even deeper - It's not because of weight loss, but because the flesh and blood around the eye sockets has completely festered; the eyeballs are suddenly embedded in the eye sockets, and there is no life in the eyes. The blackened blood veins are prominent around the pupils, and they have probably condensed into pus. Dark yellow pus gushes out of his eye sockets, flows down his cheeks, and slides down to his cheeks; his left cheek has been corroded over a large area, and black-purple gums are exposed up and down his mouth, while his right cheek still maintains a certain degree of swelling. Complete, but there are faint traces of maggots crawling under the skin of the cheek
"A woman is a woman, and she is even afraid of this" Seeing our president rarely showing signs of panic, the Yangtze River Delta did not miss this opportunity to retort.
"Who who is scared I just feel sick" Fei Yin replied angrily, but her weak tone did not sound convincing at all.
"Don't be so harsh, fear is just fear" Xian Ge Yayi also sneered, "with such a little courage, you actually had the nerve to laugh at me just now for being afraid of heights"
"I am Yan Zhen, Fei Yin is behind you" Yan Zhen looked at Wagner's face without changing his expression, and disdainfully exposed Xian Ge Yayi's old background:
"If you are really not afraid, just put on your glasses"
I couldn't join in the banter of my companions. I just envied them in despair and envied their ignorance of the end of the world: they only knew that we had to complete a difficult task, but they probably didn't understand what was happening in front of them. Don't feel hopeless. In fact, ignorance is also a great blessing in many cases. When you know more truth, you often have to bear more responsibilities and burdens, and you will be defeated by despair earlier.
"You" The mad pharmacist, who no longer knew whether he should be considered mutated or abnormal, spoke slowly. His voice was hollow and dull, having lost the elasticity it should have had as a human being. It was like the echo of a pebble dropped into a deep valley. But even so, it could not conceal the passion and ecstasy in its tone. Although his eyeballs were completely necrotic, a rich red light flashed across the scars in his eye sockets, indicating the enthusiast's mood at the moment.
"You are finally here" he said, "I very much hope that someone can share this great moment that changed the world with me. Although you don't understand the great significance of all this yet, history has given us This is your incomparable honor. I stole the secret of ultimate evolution from the selfish gods, and today, I will share 'eternity' with the entire world. Now, you may not understand the enormity of it all Meaning, but one day, people will be grateful to me, grateful to me for my generous gifts without asking for anything in return, grateful to me for my broad mind and broad wisdom, grateful to me for leading them into the land forbidden by God. And at that time, you, Will also be one of them"
"In a quarter of an hour" Wagner showed off to us excitedly, his decayed face becoming more ferocious due to his fanaticism, "the magic circle will complete its self-repair, and the billions of modified bacteria in this bottle of sacred potion will They will no longer be afraid of the cold. They will pour into this river and complete the sacred baptism of the first fish they encounter along the way. One day later, the holy water will complete the ultimate transformation of all fish schools; three days later, the first waterfowl will A lovely fish will be swallowed; five days later, a hard-working girl will arriveHe brought a bucket of water home for drinking; eight days later, a group of farmers will use river water to irrigate the banker; ten days later, the river water will be directed into a city's drainage system; eleven days later, a cat caught a cat that was transformed by the river water mice; in fifteen days, the dogs in the city will go crazy; in seventeen days, the river will flow out of the Kingdom of Winston and into the territory of Dramea Do you know, the entire River of Dawn will flow from its origin to the point where it flows into the Sea of ??Comet? need a few days? Sixty-three days! It only takes sixty-three days! Sixty-three days later, stupid and inferior signs of life will be completely wiped out from the Falvey continent. Every soul will be completely sublimated with equality and justice. A perfect world belonging to the ultimate life will come, with no racial conflicts and no bloodlines. There will be no differences and interest disputes, and there will be no wars and killings. Everything will be equal and harmonious, everything will exist forever, and every life will have endless time to learn, evolve, and create. We don't need gods! With eternity in hand, we are gods! Did you see that? In a quarter of an hour, the infinitely beautiful world has arrived. Have you seen it? In a quarter of an hour, we will say goodbye to all ugliness, despicability, and lowliness, say goodbye to all panic, fear, and death, and say goodbye to all stupidity, Dull, vulgar farewell"
" From human to god, from incomplete to perfect, from inferior to divine, from human to heaven" This madman who forced all his great wisdom and feelings to the world has been obsessed by the perfect future he described. Moved, he opened his arms and looked at us affectionately and sincerely, just like a father looking at his children lovingly, "just need to wait for a quarter of an hour"
A flash of light flashed, and the task bar in my adventure diary suddenly changed:
"Destroy the decadent fanatic Wagner within fifteen minutes, stop the spread of poison, and save the world!"
A warm current of ecstasy poured into my body. I have never felt so happy because I accepted a task. The Most High and merciful God could not bear to abandon his pious children, so he gave me a chance to make amends for my mistake. I swore I would never miss it this time.
The impatient shouts of the Yangtze River Delta came to my ears:
¡°Finally I¡¯ve finished listening to his ramblings, I¡¯ll chop him to death¡±
