Become a god from scratch

Chapter 70 What a shame! It’s so ugly!
"Those doomsday theorists have been mocked by others online, and some even say they are suffering from paranoia... But if those things just now were to get out, it would definitely reverse their reputation."

Somehow, Lin Xuan remembered the online minorities he had met when he first learned about the Old Earth World on the Internet.

Their theory is that the exclusiveness of the "bridge" may not last forever, and one day the "bridge" will become a real gap.

By then, the entire Earth Origin Star will face its doomsday.

When Lin Xuan saw this statement for the first time, he did not find it funny, but simply regarded it as a minority opinion.

But to say that I really believe it is certainly impossible.

After all, there is no shortage of doomsday theorists in every world. In the absence of clear evidence, the most he can do is watch the fun.

However, the experience just now, as well as the conversations with Vice President Pei and other tutors, made Lin Xuan realize that the statement might not be groundless.

Taiyuan Bridge is one of the ten earliest stable "bridges" in Taixia. Although it may not be the oldest "bridge" on Diyuan Star, it is definitely one of the oldest.

Lin Xuan had indeed never seen any other "bridges", but from what Xing Yan said, the vortex entrances of the Sanshui Bridge he had seen were less than one-fifth the size of the Taiyuan Bridge entrance, and there were far fewer garrisons.

"Does this mean that the longer the 'bridge' exists, the more changes it will undergo, and even bring about some unknown dangers?"

Lin Xuan temporarily buried this guess in his heart.

It is not difficult to hear from Li Guosheng’s previous training that when they become Spark students, they will definitely be exposed to more and more secrets.

Otherwise, there would be no need to bring them to Taiyuan Base for special training.

……

Half an hour later.

The four groups of students have followed their respective instructors and temporarily parted ways.

Lin Xuan and the others naturally followed Vice President Pei.

Under the leadership of Vice President Pei, Lin Xuan and his team quickly left the Taiyuan Camp on the Old Earth World side through a small path and walked down the mountain.

Along the way, Lin Xuan saw quite a few upright signs.

Most of these signs are rather simple, being just an upright wooden or stone sign with some names or even nicknames engraved on it.

"Teacher, these are..."

As children speak without restraint, Lin Xuan directly asked Vice President Pei.

When the other team members heard Lin Xuan ask, they all looked at Vice President Pei. They were obviously very curious about this, but they had not yet figured out how to ask.

"Tombstone, this is just a small part."

Vice Dean Pei glanced at the wooden and stone plaques, and his tone was heavy. "In the early days of land reclamation, too many people stayed here forever. At that time, there was no condition for them to return to their hometowns. We could only build tombstones for them here, and this is only the part where the bodies were found."

tombstone?

After hearing this, Lin Xuan fell silent.

He actually guessed at first that these were tombstones, but he was not sure because there were too many of them and they looked too simple.

After getting confirmation from Vice President Pei, I couldn't help feeling heavy in my heart.

It is not difficult to hear from Vice President Pei’s words that these tombstones scattered all over the mountains may only be a part of the victims of land reclamation, and there are many more whose bodies cannot be found at all.

Also, don't forget that this is only near the Taiyuan Bridge.

After the official opening up period, although there were not as many "bridges" in Taixia as there are today, there were definitely more than ten.

The number of pioneers who died in the area near Taiyuan Bridge was less than one-tenth of the total number.

Perhaps because he felt the atmosphere was a bit depressing, Vice President Pei suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Do you know why I brought you here?"

The attention of the three groups was immediately drawn, but no one could guess the reason.

Vice President Pei wanted to ease the atmosphere, so he didn't intend to keep it a secret. "Although every 'bridge' that appeared on the Earth Origin Star leads to this Old Earth World, the places they lead to are random, and the area we are in right now is basically a barren land in the Old Earth World."

"No wonder there are so few people here. I remember that when I went to the other side of Sanshui Bridge, a small town had been built." Xing Yan said suddenly.

Vice Dean Pei glanced at Xing Yan and suddenly asked, "You are from the Xing family of Tianhai, right... Who is Xing Taisen to you?"

Xing Yan was flattered and said, "It's my father!"

"Well, you look more honest than your father. Keep it up."

Vice President Pei made a casual comment and continued, "If I remember correctly, the Three Waters Bridge should have appeared only twenty years ago. The other side seems to lead to the 'Canglan Territory'?"

"Yes!" Xing Yan nodded repeatedly.

"Although Canglan Territory is not a central area here, it is not particularly remote either. It is normal to build a small town here..."

Vice Dean Pei pondered, "But it's different here. The area we are in is called 'Forgotten Wasteland'. If we want to get to the civilized area of ​​the Old World from here, even at my speed, it will take at least half a year, and that's assuming there are no unexpected situations along the way."

"Since this place is so remote, why did so many people sacrifice their lives?" asked Chen Donghuang.

"In the early days of land reclamation, no one knew anything about this world. Much of the information we take for granted now was based on the sacrifices of our pioneers," sighed Vice President Pei.

Vice President Pei’s words also touched the hearts of the students in Group 3.

Even Lin Xuan, who had lived two lives, couldn't help but feel a sense of awe, because both worlds had these heroes who sacrificed their lives for their country.

It is precisely because of the sacrifices of these ancestors that many things that seem to be taken for granted today are possible.

"...Wait, if this is a remote place with few people in the Old World, then how did these victims die?"

While Lin Xuan was full of admiration, he quickly thought of another question that made him terrified when he thought about it carefully.

Of course, there are more smart people in the three groups than just Lin Xuan.

People like Xie Yi and Chen Donghuang also quickly thought of this and started asking about it.

Vice President Pei said meaningfully: "Although this place is far away from the civilized area of ​​the old land, it does not mean that there are no intelligent species here. On the contrary, there are even some legendary life forms from the Earth Origin Star... such as ogres, or some half-human, half-beast monsters, etc."

"No wonder."

When Lin Xuan heard this, he suddenly understood.

Previously, when Li Guosheng was popularizing the time when the Old Earth world existed, he mentioned that many legends on the Earth Origin Star were even related to the Old Earth.

When those people from the Earth Origin Star who had accidentally visited the Old Land returned to the Earth Origin Star by chance, they also left records on the Earth Origin Star in various ways.

Many stories that were considered ghost stories at the time may have counterparts in the old land.

However, Lin Xuan did not expect that he and others would have the opportunity to see these "monsters and ghosts" that only existed in legends so soon.

"But you don't have to worry too much, because we have swept all kinds of intelligent species around here countless times. The big guys who really cause trouble are no longer there, and now only small shrimps are left."

Vice President Pei comforted.

"Teacher, are you talking about those little shrimps?"

Feeling the strong malice, Lin Xuan pointed at two heads with green faces and fangs and saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths sticking out from both sides of a big tree.

These two heads were at least three times as big as an ordinary adult's head, and were four or five meters above the ground. They were currently peeking at everyone from behind a big tree on the side of the three groups, with greed on their faces!
Since the two heads did not make any sound from beginning to end, and the three groups of people were concentrating on listening to Vice President Pei's speech, they did not pay much attention to the surrounding situation.

Lin Xuan was able to detect the existence of these two heads because [Evil Thoughts] is a passive ability that will be automatically triggered once it senses malicious intent.

"Hmm? You're pretty alert, little guy."

Vice President Pei smiled.

Looking at Vice President Pei's reaction, how could Lin Xuan not see that this top martial artist had also discovered those two heads a long time ago, and maybe even earlier than him.

But others were not so calm.

Several little girls and younger boys in the group screamed after seeing the two ferocious big heads:

"what!!"

"What a thing, it's so ugly!"

"Teacher, I want to go home..." These two big heads made the little kids who usually look like little adults finally show their youthful side.

Vice Dean Pei laughed without grace: "It's impossible to go home. That ugly thing is just a common low-level two-headed ogre. I believe you can easily deal with it."

Following Vice President Pei's introduction, the two ferocious big heads appeared from behind the big tree, holding a huge wooden stick as a weapon.

They indeed had the same body, and with a height of nearly five meters, this two-headed ogre brought a great sense of oppression to the three groups of people!
Although this is only a visual impact, and not as direct as Vice President Pei's martial arts realm experience, it is still scary enough.

Even Lin Xuan, a fake child with an adult's soul, had never seen such a scene and swallowed subconsciously.

"Gudong!"

"I'll meet this ugly thing!"

Chen Donghuang, who failed in the election for team leader with Xie Yi, was persuaded by Li Zhi to ease the relationship with Xie Yi. However, this did not affect his desire to regain his face in front of everyone.

Seeing that many team members were frightened, the older man immediately stepped forward.

But he took a step forward towards the two-headed ogre, then bent his legs slightly, and flew out like an arrow!

The speed is so fast that it is only slightly inferior to Lin Xuan who now possesses [Divine Movement] and [True Meaning Dragon Step Lv.3].

"So fast!"

Chen Donghuang's speed immediately amazed some team members.

However, Lin Xuan frowned slightly: "Are you being a little too arrogant?"

He had noticed Chen Donghuang's methods during the assessment.

Although there are many mechanical energy users who are good at close combat, and their improvement speed in the early stages is much easier than that of martial artists.

But Chen Donghuang is not a melee-type mechanical energy user, or in other words, he is not the kind of mechanical energy user who only focuses on melee combat.

Without knowing the specific strength of the two-headed ogre, Chen Donghuang chose close combat, which he was not best at, which was definitely a bit impulsive.

However, Lin Xuan could understand it, because close combat often brings the greatest visual impact.

Chen Donghuang probably also wanted to take this opportunity to regain some face.

"it should be no problem?"

Lin Xuan didn't dislike Chen Donghuang. Even though this little guy was a little bit scheming, he was just trying to save face and his nature wasn't bad.

But in the next moment, both heads of the two-headed ogre showed a fierce smile, and suddenly swung the huge wooden club in his hand -

Bang!
Chen Donghuang, who didn't even get close to the two-headed ogre, was hit by a stick and fell heavily to the ground!
"..."

This extremely contrasting scene instantly made many team members speechless.

Chen Donghuang's strength is undoubtedly among the best in the three groups. After all, given his age, he is also the mechanical energy user with the fastest improvement in strength in the early stages.

When Vice President Pei said that the two-headed ogre was just an ordinary low-level ogre, the three groups of people subconsciously thought that this ugly thing just looked scary and its actual strength might not be that great.

Chen Donghuang's experience gave them a resounding slap in the face.

Some people even looked directly at Vice President Pei, with confusion written all over their small eyes, as if to say: You call this the most ordinary?
"It's indeed just an ordinary low-level ogre, but it's not so ordinary that you can easily defeat it... How do you think those pioneers died? Did they fall to death while walking?"

The smile on Vice President Pei's face had disappeared at this time, and his tone gradually became colder.

When everyone heard this, they were suddenly shocked!
Yes……

Don’t those tombstones all over the mountains explain the problem?
Even in the early days of development, when the number of extraordinary people was not so common, those who came at that time were all fully armed adult soldiers!
Even if large weapons cannot be transported here, we can always bring conventional firearms.

Even in this situation, so many people still sacrificed their lives. Where did they get the confidence that they could handle it calmly?

"I'm sorry, teacher...I was careless!"

Chen Donghuang, who was knocked back by the two-headed ogre's stick, had now crawled up from the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He was indeed injured by this blow, but he used his arms to block the stick when he was about to be hit.

His arms are loaded with 'D·M alloy skeleton', which is ranked in the top ten among the many alloys on Earth Origin Star in terms of hardness.

So even though the attack just now looked fierce, his injuries were not serious and were mostly superficial.

"You don't need to apologize to me, because this is the first lesson I'm teaching you... Try your best to survive here. I'll come pick you up in a week. I hope to see every one of you then."

Vice President Pei said this casually, and then he turned into a shadow and disappeared in front of everyone.

"???"

Obviously, no one expected that Vice President Pei would choose to leave at this juncture, and they were caught off guard.

The departure of Vice President Pei was like a signal, causing the two-headed ogre to roar and rush towards everyone!

Obviously, the reason why the two-headed ogre didn't take the initiative to attack was that he vaguely realized that Vice President Pei was not someone to be trifled with.

When Vice President Pei suddenly left, it no longer had anything to worry about and was ready to eat!
Its two big heads were smiling more ferociously at this moment, and saliva was flowing from the corners of its mouth like a waterfall!

This extremely horrifying scene frightened many people so much that they froze in place, completely forgetting what abilities they still had.

However, some people were frightened and naturally reacted quickly.

"rise!"

Xing Yan suddenly raised his arms towards the two-headed ogre!
It can be seen that his face was a little pale, and he was obviously affected by the appearance of the two-headed ogre.

But he was not scared after all, and launched an attack immediately.

With Chen Donghuang's previous experience as a lesson, he naturally did not foolishly run directly to engage in close combat with the two-headed ogre, but instead used his own magical powers.

In an instant, two huge rock hands rose from the ground and grabbed the two calves of the two-headed ogre on the left and right.

The two-headed ogre was indeed disturbed and was unable to break free from the two huge rock hands in the first place.

Xing Yan's move also awakened several supernatural beings in the group, and they all launched long-range attacks on the two-headed ogre.

Fire snakes, ice arrows, wind blades...all hit the two-headed ogre at once.

The two-headed ogre was also frightened, as if he had never experienced such an exciting scene. Unable to break free from the giant rock hand in the first place, he had to squat on the spot with his hands covering his head.

He just let the attacks of various forms hit him, and then... nothing happened.

These attacks did cause some damage to the two-headed ogre, but the extent of its injuries might not be as serious as Chen Donghuang's?

The fire snake caused a black circle to appear on its arm, which, in proportion, was like an ordinary adult being burned by cigarettes.

The ice arrow pierced a small hole in its leg, which, if calculated in proportion, was roughly equivalent to an ordinary adult being pierced by a pencil.

The wind blade was even more powerful, leaving a cut on the back of his hand that was comparable to an ordinary adult accidentally getting scratched while shaving.

After a while, the two-headed ogre let go of the hands that were holding his two heads.

It looked back and forth at the wounds on its arms and hands, its four huge eyes showing deep confusion, as if to say...

That's it?

Seeing this scene, the supernatural beings who had taken action before wished they could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Snap! Snap!
After realizing that these little guys in front of him could only do some fancy but harmless tricks, the two-headed ogre was completely relieved. He directly picked up the wooden stick that he had just thrown on the ground and smashed the big rock hand that was holding him.

When it looked at everyone again, it had already accelerated and rushed towards them, and in a flash it had arrived in front of everyone!
"Modala!"

"Kuisa!"

The two big heads of the two-headed ogre also made strange noises at this time.

Lin Xuan, who had been waiting for an opportunity, was surprised when he heard the strange cries of the two big heads.

Because at this moment a panel prompt appeared in his mind:

"You are listening to the ogre language..."
