Chapter 921 Don’t Try to Save the World
"Miss Chuchu, are you interested in this kind of ore?"

Ji Hong already knew Chuchu's name during the previous conversation. He raised his hand and pointed to the northeast. "Outside the basin of the tribe, less than three miles away, there is a natural cave. We picked up these boiling stones there."

"So you call it boiling stone. This stone is a rare mineral produced by the movement of the earth veins. It can only be found in..."

Chuchu paused here. She wanted to say that it can only be produced in a world with a high basic energy level and a large enough space density, but Ji Hong couldn't understand this. "In short, it is a very rare ore."

"If you're interested, I can ask Emily to take you there later. It's not too far from the tribe and is generally safe."

Ji Hong said with a smile, and seemed to like Chu Chu very much, which involved the difference in charm.

"Thank you so much. I'm worried about not having the right materials for his new equipment. If I can find high-quality ore, there will be a way."

Chu Chu said that she couldn't explain it to Ji Hong in too much detail.

But according to her understanding of the "habits" of minerals, the Sunny Star Mine will not appear on the surface. It is all buried deep underground. Due to its density, it is difficult to be erupted by volcanoes when the earth's crust moves.

It’s not to say that it is absolutely impossible for it to appear on the ground, but it is a bit unrealistic to say that it can be picked up by the people of the tribe.

Chuchu felt that there was something wrong with this, and the Sunny Star Mine also had several associated minerals, which were also rare materials. She wanted to go over and see if any of them could be used.

"Chu, is mining so interesting? Haven't you dug enough in the company's mining area before?"

Nia interrupted and said that he didn't understand what Chuchu wanted to do. He felt that without the company's factory, there was no way Chuchu could make the equipment by herself.

"Tsk, big guy, I told you you are ignorant. The company's mining area has been dug for many years, and only some low-quality slag is left. Moreover, in terms of rarity and quality, it can't be compared with the ore here."

Chuchu pointed to the Sunny Star Ore under the table and said, "Have you ever seen this kind of stone in the city before?"

Nia shook her head. “I always heat food with an induction cooker and never drink hot water.”

"That's it. If you just use the heat in this stone to boil water, you can't use it up even in 100 million years. Even though it can be found everywhere in the tribe, it's a rare commodity."

Chu Chu said that if this kind of stone is used for forging, it can be used as the core energy material of the equipment to maximize its driving power.

"Let's talk about mining later. I'll go with you after I'm done."

Lu Li interrupted Chu Chu's interest and looked at Ji Hong again, "Elder Ji, did the Sword Keeper say anything else after that?"

Ji Hong shook his head. "The Sword Keeper is usually like a sculpture, and I won't enter that place unless it involves sacrifice or life and death."

"Can I go see him again?"

Lu Li asked, he was a little confused and wanted the sword keeper to explain.

"Okay, but don't hold your hopes too high. The Sword Keeper may not respond."

Ji Hong stood up and motioned for Lu Li and others to follow.

He himself was curious about how the Sword Keeper would react if he saw more humans with extraordinary powers.

Soon, with Nia's curiosity buzzing, they arrived at the cave, passed through the tunnel, and saw the throne room.

"Is this stone statue the sword keeper you mentioned? He doesn't look that strong. I think he will break into pieces if I shoot him with my gun."

Nia looked curiously at the Sword Keeper kneeling in front of the throne, wondering what was so special about this guy.

"Nya, shut your mouth, you can't even sweep the dust off him."

Lu Li said speechlessly, and walked towards the sword keeper again, and said respectfully: "Senior, I found a scroll in Sex and the City. Do you think it is like this?"

He took out the scroll that Nia gave him and handed it to the Sword Keeper. Although he was sure that this was the scroll the Sword Keeper was talking about, he still wanted to ask the other party to take a look at it, mainly because he wanted to get more information from the Sword Keeper.

Over the past month, he has been constantly hunting monsters in Sex and the City with Aizen. Compared to when he first entered the world, his strength is a world apart, but Lu Li still cannot see through the attributes of the Sword Keeper, which shows how terrifying his strength is.

Lu Li even suspected that the Sword Keeper could destroy an entire city single-handedly, but he didn't understand why it was just kneeling here in a daze.

After a long time, just when Lu Li thought that the Sword Keeper didn't want to pay attention to them, the Sword Keeper's voice came from everyone's ears.

"The era is about to end. You need to speed up. I can already feel the power of the curse approaching."

The Sword Keeper's voice this time was much clearer and more coherent than before, which showed that he was not a person who spoke haltingly. The last communication was only because he had not spoken for too long.

"The power of the curse? What is the sign of the end of the era?"

Lu Li asked doubtfully. Ji Hong, who was standing next to him, was also very nervous when he heard the Sword Keeper's words, because this might involve the final life and death of the Human Alliance Tribe.

"Gray fog will cover the sun, black smoke will cover the stars, numbers will jump in the long dark night, life will be erased, and human nature will end."

The Sword Keeper said, "The gods have awakened and put out the last flame."

"Senior, are the gods you are talking about the ones worshipped by the city-state? For example, the God of Desire?"

Lu Li asked curiously.

However, the Sword Keeper shook off the dust on his body, "I don't know who the God of Desire is."

"You don't even know the God of Desire? Isn't he a superhuman who knows everything about the past and present?"

Nia couldn't help but speak up, "Millervis, the God of Desire, is the guy who stands at the top of the weird creatures."

"Millervis..."

The Sword Keeper chewed on the name and said, "I have never heard of this name. He must be an unknown person."

Nia was speechless, and his worldview collapsed a little. This was mainly because the tribe he saw was free and peaceful, but also very weak, and this mysterious sword keeper didn't even know the main god of Desire City, one of the six city-states.

Lu Li raised his hand, signaling Nia not to interrupt, and he asked respectfully: "Senior, will Weird change its name? It is possible that it is called differently now than before."

"The name of God is the source of part of their power, and it will not change easily. Millervis may be a new god born in the Sixth Era. I have never heard of him."

The sword keeper spoke calmly.

Aizen came over and said, "Senior, why don't I tell you the information we have investigated and tell you the names of the main gods that the six city-states currently believe in, and see if you know any."

Lu Li didn't understand what was the point of Aizen's doing this, but he still stepped aside, wanting to see what surprises the omnipotent super brain could bring him. Next, Aizen reported the names of the ancient gods believed in by the six city-states one by one. These were all investigated by them through the company's system in the city. Because the six cities were connected to the mainland, the top leaders of each party knew about each other's existence, and the neighboring cities would have trade exchanges.

However, after listening to the sword, the Sword Keeper pondered for a moment and then asked, "Are there already six such large city-states?"

Lu Li and the others looked at each other in bewilderment, thinking that the night watchman's answer was irrelevant, but Aizen seemed to be thinking about something. "Senior, in your memory, aren't there so many city-states outside?"

"I don't know...it's been so long, I can't tell anymore."

The Sword Keeper's voice was filled with deep sorrow. "But I will not make mistakes in remembering the names of the gods. I have imprinted every name deep in my soul. I have no impression of the six ancient gods you just mentioned."

"Hey, bro."

Nia nudged Lu Li gently, and said in what she thought was a quiet voice, "Why do I feel like this Sword Keeper has lost his mind? Has he been shut himself off for too long and doesn't even know what the world has become?"

Lu Li was somewhat speechless, because although what Nia said was unclear, it did make sense. The Sword Keeper might have been a otaku for too long and had no idea what the outside world was like.

At first, the Sword Keeper told him that nine scrolls were lost outside, but he didn't know when that happened.

It was a miracle of luck that he was able to get a scroll from Nia. To be honest, it was impossible to find this thing.

Previously, Lu Li had wanted to ask the Sword Keeper where these scrolls were lost so that he could go to the corresponding city-states to look for them. But now it seems that the Sword Keeper doesn’t even know the ancient gods worshipped by the outside city-states.

Even if the Sword Keeper was not senile, it was just that too many years had passed and the gods who ruled the city-state had been replaced. How could he possibly find all those scrolls that had been lost for who knows how long?
"Senior, when the era ends, will all the humans in the city-state die out?"

Aizen asked again at this time.

"I don't know. I will just stay here and preserve the true flame."

The Sword Keeper's answer once again disappointed everyone.

"Senior, can the method you taught us lead us through the disasters of this era?"

Aizen asked again.

This time the Sword Keeper's reaction was obvious. He shook his head and a large pile of dust fell. "Only the King can defeat the gods."

Aizen felt that the sword guardian's words this time were vague and reserved. His expression remained normal, but his heart became heavy.

He seriously suspected that the method passed down by the Sword Keeper was flawed. They could grow and become stronger in a short period of time, but the power gained in this way would ultimately not be able to defeat the ancient gods who dominated the world.

And he didn't know why the Sword Keeper was so obsessed with the so-called king. It was obvious that he himself had considerable power and could try to lead mankind to glory again.

While thinking, Aizen walked towards the throne and placed his hand on the hilt of the sword. The sword keeper's eyes seemed to change slightly.

The next moment, Aizen exerted his strength, but the ancient sword did not move at all.

"It seems we can't ask any more questions, Brother Lu. We can only rely on our own strength."

Aizen loosened his hand, walked down, and passed by the silent sword keeper.

"I only believe in my own stats and combat skills. As long as I eat enough monsters, one day I can even kill a god."

Lu Li said, turning around and pulling Chu Chu away. He felt that he could not get any more help from the confused Sword Keeper.

Just as they turned around, the Sword Keeper spoke again: "With hopeful faith, we will eventually welcome back the great Human King. Finding him is the only hope left in this era."

"I won't go looking for someone without any basis. If I had the time, I would have already reached the top myself."

Lu Li said, "Senior, if you really want the last humans in the tribe to survive, you should open your eyes and see the world instead of kneeling here forever."

Lu Li led a few people to the tunnel entrance, "I admire your loyalty, but such loyalty to the deceased is not as good as inheriting his legacy."

After saying that, they left the forbidden area of ​​the tribe. In the empty hall, only the sword keeper continued to kneel under the throne, guarding the rusty and corroded sword alone.

After walking out of the forbidden area, Nia couldn't help but said, "I say, what on earth are we doing? Isn't that guy very strong? I thought you were going to take him with you to kill monsters."

"He has become numb over such a long period of time. It is up to us to save the world."

Lu Li said.

"God of Desire raised by Biaozi, I can't do such a noble thing, saving the world? Brother, you must be crazy, why does this world need you to save it?"

Nia said, "Is it the meat people in the ranch or the zombies on the street? No one deserves to be saved, and no one wants to be saved. I am just an asshole. I just want to vent my bloodthirsty desire before I die. If I die on the way to kill monsters, that is the ending I deserve."

He was tall and patted Lu Li's shoulder with his big hand. "So don't even think about saving the world. If there is a time when you really need to save the world, it should be before the world becomes like this. In my opinion, the world has already been destroyed."

"From the moment your mother sold you?"

Lu Li asked back.

"That has nothing to do with it."

Nia said expressionlessly, walking forward on her own, "I just think that anyone who throws away everything and succumbs to weirdness deserves to die."

Nia walked into the woods. His tall figure looked a little hunched, like a defeated bear. He reached into his chest twice, then remembered that he had no more love grass cigarettes, and he couldn't help but curse himself again.

…………

"Oh my God, this is not a mining area at all!"

Chu Chu stood on a high place in the cave, looking down and exclaiming in amazement.

Lu Li picked up a piece of Sunny Star Ore from under his feet, "What is this place? I think it's a rich mine."

Lu Li didn't know how to mine, but he could see all kinds of rare minerals everywhere, including Sunny Star ore that could be picked up and used. This kind of ore would emit heat as long as it was under a certain pressure.

Ji Hong just put the teapot on it, and the heat energy emitted by the stone under pressure would boil the water, so the people in the tribe called it boiling pressure stone.

These stones are considered high-quality immortal-grade ores, and they can be seen everywhere here. Lu Li thinks this is a manifestation of rich mineral resources.
