Colliding Sinkholes and People Who Don't Collide
In a short span of time, the world has changed dramatically. Even if Nagos hadn't been held back by Ren Yisheng, he still wouldn't have been able to keep up with the changes in this world.
They sprinted into the resting area, and none of them felt exhausted. Instead, they felt increasingly relaxed, their bodies filled with a fresh and natural aura.
The closer you get to the lake where it holds water, the stronger the fragrance becomes.
Just like abundant oxygen, a high concentration of oxygen can enhance bodily functions, but the more abundant the concentration, the harder it is for people to adapt.
Naggus charged toward the source of the strong odor. He could see Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Anran standing about three zhang away from a boulder, but as he continued to run forward, he felt as if his body was about to float away.
This is clearly not a normal bodily change, but rather a problem with his perception and consciousness.
Even though Naggs blocked his breath, his skin was still bathed in this aura.
Naggus felt he could only get close to the massive rock that hadn't been moved when the altar was being built if he could be completely covered in an airtight protective suit and wear a breathing mask.
"The Secret Stone of Qinmeng!"
Naggus clenched his teeth, making a grinding sound.
His face showed both ecstasy and disappointment.
Joy comes from enjoying the conditions, while disappointment comes from the fact that this area does not belong to him.
Given the character of Zhang Xuezhou and others, Naggus had no doubt that this place would inevitably be opened up in the future.
Aside from other benefits, many injured Sequence Holder would go to great lengths to come here for treatment.
No one can guarantee they won't get hurt in the future, which makes this small world a rope binding many Sequence Holder, including even the British Alliance State.
This is a drawback of the development of elite Gene Sequence. This small world cannot accommodate billions of people in the world, but it can accommodate elite Sequence Holder from all over the world.
Whoever controls this place has the power to guide the Sequence Holder.
There's no such thing as "possessing a treasure is a crime." This isn't just because Zhang Xuezhou and the others were honest; the Scarlet Alliance State also have the ability to protect it. And the only way to freely enter and leave this place is for Zhang Xuezhou to acquire the 'fast and slow' domain in the future.
Naggus vaguely sensed signs that the world was moving towards a utopian state.
His power will be constantly weakened, which is bad, but the continuous development of integration may allow him to enjoy better conditions, which is good.
For Naggus, this was bound to be a time of uncertainty and uncertainty.
"Ren Yisheng, let's quickly find a place to bury him. That thing over there is very useful; I feel your method has increased the chances of success by at least three percent!"
Chimmon Hagrid's call interrupted Nagos's thoughts.
Dozens of meters away, Chimon Haig seemed poised to pursue derivative fields through the extreme methods described by Badun.
Zhang Xuezhou once said that here, one could eat as much air as one wanted, and now that the environment is even better, it is indeed difficult to starve to death in such an environment.
Everyone's circumstances are different. Naggus doesn't agree that being on the verge of death makes it possible to enter the Ninth Sequence, but he thinks it's worth a try.
"You guys keep digging, I'll dig one up and give it a try!"
Sensing Ren Yisheng's gaze, Nags gave an awkward laugh, then gestured his choice.
As one of the three Eighth Sequence in this small world, he had better follow suit whenever the others chose to do something, to avoid any awkwardness later.
Naggus quickly expressed his wishes, and only then did he hear Ren Yisheng respond to Chimon Haig, who then indicated that he wanted to try digging a hole nearby.
"Mr. Ren, aren't you going to ask about Zhang Xuezhou?"
Having reunited, Naggs couldn't help but ask a question.
"What should I ask him?" Ren Yisheng asked.
"For example, how did things suddenly change here? I feel that the stone is very abnormal; it suddenly became a very special treasure," Naggus said earnestly.
"I also feel something's wrong, but it's changed, what can you do?" Ren Yisheng replied, "Are you thinking of changing it back?"
"I don't want to change back!"
"That settles it!"
Nags shook his head, while Ren Yisheng muttered a sarcastic remark, seemingly showing no desire for knowledge whatsoever.
Of course, Nags also had to admit that asking questions wouldn't change anything.
He thought of Zhang Xuezhou, who had been locked up in the guard room years ago, and then looked at the figure near the boulder, ultimately setting that comparison aside.
He inherited the No. 1 Sinkhole, bringing with him the destructive power of the apocalyptic fragments; Zhang Xuezhou inherited the Sinkhole No. 2, which brought him healing power.
Like a thunderbolt striking the earth, the people and objects in the two sinkholes kept colliding and merging, which also triggered a series of events.
Fortunately, he and Zhang Xuezhou got along peacefully, and could even be considered to have a good relationship.
"It's a pity that things changed so quickly after old Badun left; he didn't get to enjoy any of this good fortune," Naggs said.
"You'd better have some leverage over him before he gets back," Ren Yisheng warned. "We can sit down and get along peacefully, but you can't be sure he doesn't have other ideas!"
"Is Badun a decent person?" Naggs asked hesitantly.
"Then you should ask other people why they don't trust Badun," Ren Yisheng said.
"Chimon Hagrid, you were spared by Badun back then, don't you trust Badun either?"
Naggus asked Chim Hagrid, who was not far away, but Chim Hagrid kept digging holes and did not respond.
Only after being asked again did Chimmon Hagrid impatiently raise his head.
"You only remember his great kindness to me, but you never thought about how I was left with nothing and exiled to Qinmeng, and how he even went to Huli Port every year to check on me," Chimon Haig complained. "Badun's generosity was based on his control of the overall situation. If I hadn't given up everything from the Aomeijia Alliance, do you think I would have been let go, or that I would have survived for more than ten years!"
"What you said sends a chill down my spine," Naggus said.
"Your own character is no different. Just think about how you treat others and you'll understand," Chimmon Hagrid retorted. "Let alone these Mystic Stones, Badun seemed a bit off when he looked at that stone that could breed insects. If he hadn't been unable to profit from it, he wouldn't have left so easily."
"If you don't trust Badun, why did you trust Ren Yisheng?" Naggs asked.
"I don't Ren Yisheng," Chimman Hagrid said. "I only trust Little Zhang. Little Zhang is a businessman, and his Lineage values mutual benefit. As long as I'm still useful, he won't kill me. And people Ren Yisheng will listen to Little Zhang's opinions!"
"Cut!"
After being criticized by Chimmon Hagrid, Ren Yisheng couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of filth.
But Ren Yisheng must admit the truth that Chim Hager said: the character of people like Ren Yisheng, Naggs, Badun, and Chim Hager is actually no different.
The fact that everyone was able to connect and help each other was inseparable from Zhang Xuezhou's role as a go-between.
Zhang Xuezhou's character is far from perfect, and he does not possess the saintly virtues portrayed in legends. However, Zhang Xuezhou has seen much and has a broader perspective than others. He does not want to fight in his own little corner, but rather wants to unite various forces to move forward together, even those he is wary of, such as Badun.
This means that Zhang Xuezhou either sees a broader world and doesn't care about the seemingly precious but actually trivial gains and losses of the present, or he senses potential risks and therefore needs to unite forces.
On this point, Ren Yisheng would obviously cooperate.
