"Why don't you eat?"

With three strokes, Gu Ling sucked a purple salo fruit until only a skin as thin as a cicada's wings and a core the size of a finger were left.

The little girl was satisfied and her cheeks were red, as if she was tipsy.

She patted her belly and asked Meng Chao.

"...I'm used to eating synthetic food that tastes like wax. This is the first time I've eaten such a natural delicacy. My taste buds are so stimulated that I can't bear it."

Meng Chao said, "How about I eat slowly and listen to you talk about the history of Taoyuan Town while eating?"

"also."

Gu Ling waved and picked another purple salo fruit from the stretched vine.

By the way, gently pick a leaf with a jagged edge from the branch of the vine, and roll the leaf up carefully, like a hollow straw.

She gently poked the "straw" into the Zisaro fruit, as if holding a pure natural drink, took a sip, held her head and thought for a while, "That was a long time ago, and I have never experienced it personally.

, I heard it all from grandpa, where should I start? By the way, let’s start with the destruction of the earth.”

"Wait, what?"

Meng Chao's cerebral cortex, heart muscles and peristaltic intestines froze almost simultaneously.

He confirmed in a ghost-like voice, "What did you say, the destruction of the earth?"

"That's right, oh, that's wrong, it's not the destruction of the earth. I heard that the earth is a very big place, a thousand or ten thousand times bigger than Taoyuan Town. How can human power destroy it? Just

It’s nothing more than the destruction of human civilization on Earth.”

Gu Ling said nonchalantly, as if introducing common sense known to women and children, "It is precisely because the earth's civilization is about to destroy itself that our Taoyuan Town and your Dragon City escaped at the critical moment. Isn't it like this?"

"is that so?"

Meng Chao's heart stirred up a huge storm.

He always thought that Dragon City was a passive travel.

He was influenced or even controlled by some mysterious force, and he traveled to another world in a daze.

From what Gu Ling said, at least the people in Taoyuan believed that they were actively traveling through time and escaping from the earth!

"Then did your grandfather tell you how the earth's civilization was destroyed?" Meng Chao excitedly held Gu Ling's wrist.

The little girl said "Oh!" with a look of pain on her face, and the purple salo fruit almost fell to the ground.

Hearing her cry, the surrounding green tide and sea of ​​flowers suddenly made a sound of "chi-liu-chi-liu, chi-liu-chiliu".

Countless vines and pythons hidden in the vines all straightened up towards Meng Chao, opening a bloody mouth with interlocking canine teeth at the end, and hostility spewed out.

"sorry."

Meng Chao hurriedly stopped and apologized, "I'm too excited, Miss Gu Ling."

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I'm thick-skinned and I'm used to being beaten in the jungle."

Gu Ling waved his hand and let all the vines and pythons return to their original positions. He took another sip of purple salo juice and looked at Meng Chao curiously, "So you visitors to Dragon City don't know the fact that the earth's civilization has been destroyed?

It's no wonder that you still consider yourself 'Earthlings'.

"Let me think about what grandpa said, what is the name of that thing? By the way, nuclear weapons, thermonuclear war, nuclear dust has enveloped the entire world, boundless darkness and extreme cold, which will last for at least ten years.

Years later, in that kind of environment that is more terrifying than hell, it is impossible for the civilization of the earth to continue."

"..."

Meng Chao took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and asked, "If you really escaped from the earth at the critical moment, how did your grandfather know that the nuclear winter would last for at least ten years?"

"Because before we escaped, a thermonuclear war had already broken out. It seemed that countless nuclear weapons were flying into the sky, which was impossible to intercept and defend. And based on the number of nuclear weapons, nuclear winter would definitely last for a long, long time and kill everyone.

Intelligent life living on the surface of the earth has destroyed the entire civilization of the earth."

Gu Ling said, "Grandpa told me that only a very few very lucky towns can escape from the earth before destruction comes, and Taoyuan Town is one of them!"

"I see, you didn't see it with your own eyes, you just speculated..."

Meng Chao composed himself and said, "It seems that I must meet your grandfather when I have the opportunity and ask him about the 'destruction of the earth'.

"Forget it, let's not mention this for now. Let's talk about what happened after you traveled here. I think Taoyuan Town is not large in size and has not too many people. Life in the early days of time traveling must have been very difficult?"

"Indeed, although this place we named 'Peach Blossom Spring' is a legendary paradise with beautiful mountains and clear waters, singing birds and fragrant flowers, and rich resources, the Taoyuan people who just migrated here still encountered many difficulties."

Gu Ling said, "But grandpa told me that we can only blame others, but ourselves, because the Taoyuan people who just came here still cling to the earth's civilization and want to fight against the entire nature and destroy it."

This becomes a second earth.

"They set fire to the mountain, burning all the spiritual plants into lumps of charcoal.

"He is also greedy and kills monsters wantonly. Even though his belly is full, he still cruelly harvests the raw materials from the monsters to build the so-called civilization.

"They also want to exploit the spar veins contained in the surrounding mountains on a large scale. Just like in the earth era, they will build those black smoke and rumbling machines, and use those evil machines to continue to devour the harmonious and beautiful world - such devouring

, never ending.

"As they continue to cultivate farmland, expand towns, mine crystals and develop so-called 'civilization', gradually some of them master the cultivation methods and most of the resources, becoming more and more powerful and expanded.

The gap with others continues to widen.

"Thus, the evil elements of the people on earth squirmed out from the depths of the bone marrow of these strong men.

“They proclaimed themselves ‘leaders, generals, supreme commanders, and pioneers number one,’ and decorated themselves with various high-sounding titles.

"With power that no one can contend with, they not only extend their unsatisfactory grasp on the surrounding nature, but also on those weaker compatriots.

“On the surface, they are promoting the banner of ‘rebuilding earth civilization in Peach Blossom Spring’.

"Actually, they are all extremely selfish guys. They just want to devour the flesh and blood of their compatriots and spiritual beasts to make themselves and their descendants stronger and stronger.

“Actually, at that time, many people in Taoyuan were tired of the endless reclamation and conquest, and just wanted to live a relaxed, happy and carefree life in Taohuayuan.

"After all, the products here are abundant. Just gathering, fishing and hunting a very small number of low-level spiritual beasts is enough to provide food and clothing. Why is it necessary to go deep into the jungle and fight to the death with high-level spiritual beasts?

"But those guys who call themselves 'leaders' always have a set of principles.

"We can't just sit here and wait for death." "The devastated earth is still waiting for us to go back and start from scratch." "Indulging in the most rudimentary gathering, fishing and hunting will set our civilization back thousands of years." "No."

Re-develop industry and technological civilization. If we encounter a powerful enemy, we will have no power to fight back...

"In short, these 'leaders, generals, supreme commanders, pioneers No. 1' use these slogans to force the innocent townspeople to continue to advance into the depths of the jungle, and engage in an incomparable fight with the spiritual beasts who have no grievances or grudges.

Brutal fighting.

"However, even if the townspeople worked hard and paid an extremely heavy price to harvest a large number of materials for high-level spiritual beasts; or even if they risked their lives to dig out crystal stones containing violent spiritual energy from the depths of the mines, these benefits would

It will not fall into everyone's hands, it will only be plundered by the 'leaders', helping them and their descendants become more and more powerful and difficult to overthrow, even if it is just a restriction.

"Grandpa said that not long after these guys emerged as monkeys, their true colors became more and more exposed. They are simply a hundred times worse than the strong men in the earth age.

"After all, the earth has no spiritual power. No matter how big the gap between people is, at least there will not be much difference in combat effectiveness. Even the most domineering tyrant can be eliminated with a bullet. Therefore, how powerful the earth's powerful people are when they act.

They all have some scruples and are willing to establish a set of game rules that are at least nominally fair and just to assist their rule.

"But in this land full of spiritual energy, the strong ones not only have money and power, but also have fighting power that is ten times or a hundred times that of ordinary people. Ordinary people are simply unable to compete with them and can only act like low-level spiritual beasts.

Let them fish and eat.

"The result is that more and more ordinary townspeople are discovering that the never-ending war for survival is constantly destroying them and the spiritual beasts.

"Those powerful men who are at the top are becoming stronger, richer and more violent.

"It is said to be 'rebuilding civilization', but what is really being rebuilt is only the families and forces of these powerful people. Even if Taoyuan Town expands ten times in size, advances its technology for hundreds of years, and possesses more destructive weapons, ordinary townspeople will still remain the same.

Not much benefit to be gained!”

Gu Ling said this in one breath, and his mouth went dry.

She lowered her head and took a big sip.

But he sucked the core of the purple saro into a straw made of rolled leaves.

"Pooh!"

The little girl spat hard, and the fruit core shot out like a bullet and flew away.

Meng Chao listened with rapt attention and asked: "What happened next?"

"Later, these damn guys finally got the punishment they deserved."

Gu Ling tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "It seems that one year, there was a long period of heavy rain, and flash floods and mudslides submerged the most important spar veins near Taoyuan Town.

"The strength of those strong people must be maintained by swallowing crystal stones and constantly practicing. Without the nourishment of crystal stones and spiritual energy for ten and a half months, they gradually weakened.

"This is the best opportunity. Ordinary townspeople can no longer stand the deception and enslavement of the strong. Especially the low-level warriors who fight against the spirit beasts in the depths of the jungle have long secretly formed alliances with the spirit beasts. Everyone.
