Chapter 415

The sky is falling apart.That's how people describe the battle.

Mountains collapsed like leaky skins.The evil beasts ran away like crazy, completely forgetting to hunt.After the collapse of the Pillar of the Extreme North, the Sea of ​​Stars also fell in all directions, sinking into the deepest part of the ice ocean.Since then, there has been no difference between day and night, and the sky is always as red as blood.The vegetation is scorched and withered, and the birds and animals are in panic all day long.The pungent stench emanating from the river and sea has killed fish schools, and there is no clean water source on land.Every time a pillar of heaven is pushed down, the world will be destroyed more and more.

She sat upright in the boat, listening to the howling of the wind.

—In the kingdom of the Usurper, the soul is drawn by spiders.The old man once said so.In that country, there are several large rivers that connect to the Sea of ​​Nightmare, and the boats of the extraditionists float on the river, and they are also specially made to look like spiders.It is believed that the tentacle can fool the nightmare, so that the living can reach the other side safely.They would make thin, flexible feet for the boat to glide on the water.Such a boat is so ingeniously constructed that it takes the most skilled shipwright to make it, and the best boatman is needed to steer such a boat.They come and go on the river, making a lot of money, but the things that sneak from the sea of ​​nightmares often bring them terrible disasters.

Only the best boatmen can make long trips on that kind of river.They have the richest experience, dexterous reaching and keen judgment, but—the old man asked her this—what is the most important thing?
The melting sky sinks from all directions, a red iron pot that holds the world in place.In the final battle, Muller Kakun and Lisrelello fell one after another.Sleeping beside the southern Tianzhu, Slamber has a body like a hill, the heads of three giant deep-sea worms, and thick arms like thousands of flying dragons.He was conceived by Wingolas selecting a dozen of the most ferocious demonic beasts, and at the same time added the blood of the wise Aitulaite, and was nurtured and raised from the womb of the female sky whale.

This monster, which is neither god nor beast, has been howling and crying endlessly since its birth, and the sound is enough to kill any mortal who hears it.He could have been blessed with wisdom, but the king demanded that he be kept in ignorance.That's because he was born to guard the Tianzhu, if he was smart and sensitive, he would be full of pain instead.So Wingolas locked him in the huge ravine beside the pillar, let him sleep for a long time, and fed him with evil beasts only once every thousand years.

He sleeps from the beginning of the world until the end of the world.When the spear-point diamond hit the sky pillar, the collapse of the canyon woke him up.Slamber's three giant worm heads howled, and thousands of boneless arms suddenly protruded from the ground to the clouds, hitting Mule Kakun and crushing him to pieces.His younger sister, Lisrello, avoided it vigilantly.She exhaled poisonous smoke, which corroded the long arm that killed Mule Kakun, and was stunned by Slamber's scream, and fell towards the three giant mouths in the canyon.Slamber chewed her up and swallowed her.Only her elder brother, Dongwage, was left, the most agile of the quadruplets. He hovered far away in the higher clouds, following his master to dodge.

—The best boatman is no match for the treacherous course.said the old man.The best boatman is the one who knows where not to go.Never be fooled by money and complacency, only go where they are sure.Their experience is rich, but they have to maintain the sensitivity and caution of novices.

The lotus leaf boat jolted in the blazing tide.The pitch-black mountains on both sides of the strait fell with the wind, and the current became more and more turbulent.She was thinking about the dream she had just had.It was also a dream about boating: with childhood friends, starting from the green mountains, crossing canyons and mountain passes, and finally flowing into the lake under the sunset.Flying insects hover like evening smoke, and cold silver stars flicker at the fingertips of friends.It was a very unusual thing—and the owner of the dream didn't know it.

She looked down and landed on the front of the lotus boat.The boatman fell asleep halfway through, lying on his back sprawled, snoring intermittently.He rested his hand on the side of the hub, allowing the flowing water to bring the boat to the finish line.The fire fell from the sky, and the mountains turned to ashes, but the boatman didn't realize it, and complained and babbled in his deep sleep.

"Eat!" she heard the boatman say viciously.

Her hair swayed slightly.A small piece of light green sticky mass slowly crawled through her hair, and finally landed on the pinna of her ear.The little thing stretched many tough filaments inside, from which it made a speaking sound.

"Well," it said, "he's so optimistic."

She was still sitting upright, looking straight ahead, secretly paying attention to every bit of news coming from the wind.

The life picked up from the volcano.Although it grows in the dark underground all year round, and has a natural and cruel predator temperament, it is noisier than any pet she has ever raised.A small part of it lay in her ear, connected to the back of the boatman's head by a filament, and sometimes whispered to her the thoughts in the boatman's mind.But dreams were an impenetrable barrier for the thing, so it could no longer tell her.

"I wonder what he's dreaming about," said the makeshift pet she picked up. "He's having an angry dream. How strange that now he can smell his breath from death, but he's still angry about eating."

She doesn't answer.The temporary pet was used to it, too, and perhaps it communicated with obsidian in the same way in the volcanic cave.It rolled slowly and carefully between the pinnae of her ear, wanting to attract attention without expressing disrespect to its owner.This kind of natural cunning seems to be out of the world, in order to play people like the boatman around.She knew that this thing was very intelligent, able to accurately judge the situation, and would not delay hunting because of thinking about endless things.Its slimy-looking body is actually quite agile.It's not the storm-like swiftness of the flying dragon, but the sudden attack of the dragon-hunting lizard, from stillness to berserk without even blinking an eye.Even Feilong is easy to be bitten when he is careless.

She trained the baby mutalisks to be alert with the dragon lizards, and few mutalisks survived the first attack.Tayeki has been bitten, as have Muller Kakun and Lislelo. The violent Stonburn was only bitten off the tip of his claws, biting the entire nest of dragon lizards into pieces, and crushing all the eggs in the nest. .She scolded him and beat him, with little effect.

Only Dongwage was not bitten once.His strength is not as good as Mule Kakun's, and his tameness is not as good as Lisleiro's, and he has the rare timidity of a flying dragon in his temperament.But his timidity made him always pay attention to his surroundings, and at the same time he was the most agile among the quadruplets.When facing Slamber, he showed unprecedented tenacity in his life. He used his master's storm to dive again and again, drilled through the densely packed long arms, and bit Slamber's fragile neck.He was bruised only once, and all the scales and flesh were gone from his back, scratching out twelve of Slamber's eyes before he bled to death.The blind troll swung his arms violently in rage, smashing Dongwage and one of his own heads into a pulp.The ignorant thing didn't understand why it was so badly fate, and when his soul-ripping howls drowned out the wind, the point of the spear, hot as the sun, fell from the top of his head.Slamber melted, flesh and bones fused with the earth and stone of the canyon forever.Many years later, the canyon will be full of gem-like flowers, all grown out of his body.

That is the final battle.Those who survived rumored so.There shouldn't have been so many survivors, but she spread mercy in the name of the king, guiding all kinds of creatures to the sanctuary.The sanctuary is in Mulunen, in the bottomless cave at the deepest point of the mountain, surrounded by layers of shadows covered by rocks.She did not know where the cavern ultimately led, but the omens of the hellfire could not spread there.It was the place the old man had told her about, and there they had met when the Willows were destroyed.

Before the "last battle" took place, the old man sat on the stone at the entrance of the cave and waited for her.With a smile on his face, he raised his left hand to her.At his fingertips he held a cotton rope with a ampule hanging from each end of the rope.Both bottles are half filled with water, and a small model sailboat floats on the water.Both ships are black and very similar in appearance.On the left side, there are layers of patterns resembling dragon scales, while the sail on the right is decorated in the shape of feathers.

"I think these two are more suitable for you," said the old man. "The mount will be similar to the temper of the owner. The ship is not so sensitive, but of course the more similar the better. Which one do you like more?"

She looked and tapped the bottle on the left.

"You chose Youyin," said the old man.He handed her the bottle, and together they watched the little sailboat heave in the water.Then she was full of thoughts, and told the old man that she would go to the mountain of Slambor to take back the last light of creation.

"Go." The old man said calmly.

So she set off.After killing Slambo, all the light of creation poured into the tip of her spear, and the diamond at the tip of the spear was already indestructible.Had it not been for the light she had collected earlier, she would have had no hope of defeating Slamber, and when the last light had been collected, the jewel fell from the point of the spear, as the king had said.Her most powerful, and only weapon, had done its job, and could never be used again.

She took the jewel and went alone to the Hall of Eternity.
