Chapter 160: Have You Experienced the Feeling of Being Alive?
At last, Lu Yuan formally apologized and explained the causes and consequences, and only then did he earn her forgiveness.
"So it was a full-spirit state, the world really is magical."
"Only your big brother would have noticed something like this."
"Then you better change back... otherwise you won't find a girlfriend! I've been scared silly by you. Which girl would accept you in this state?" The girl covered her face, her gaze peeking through her fingers, secretly observing that perverse swallowing.
The scene was bizarrely creepy.
But she couldn't help wanting to watch.
"Hahaha, I'm trying to figure it out. Can't a big tree find a girlfriend?"
"Maybe foreigners would accept it. After all, foreigners do marry sheep." Lu Qingqing said with a laugh, "And can you not talk sideways? You look like a plank of wood."
"Fine, I'll find you an alien sister-in-law."
"Aliens are fine too, but find a good-looking one." Lu Qingqing, frightened by him, pleaded desperately, "Like those enchanting demons and angels on your computer, I can accept those. Too creepy won't do."
Old Lu muttered inwardly: My mental state is very good; I'm absolutely a normal person!
"Then you better study hard, we'll chat again next time."
After hanging up the video call, Lu Yuan sighed deeply.
His current happiness had reached some kind of peak.
Every leaf on the tree trembled slightly.
"It feels awesome."
"The meaning of life is to bully others... my life philosophy is indeed correct."
The Cannibal Flower spat out the orange cat: "So, how does it feel to be alive?"
"To actually... experience it."
Old Cat said shakily.
Its chubby body kept twitching.
This indeed was a whole new experience, absolutely unprecedented!
Making the Holy King scream in terror, that feeling... was too wonderful!
It could only be described as incomparable!
Old Cat rolled wildly on the ground.
This was the Holy, fur-petting King.
Even Great Warrior Cat Mama hadn't done such perverse acts in her life!
But this time, it, Old Cat, indulged along with the others, bullying the Holy King.
A sense of unspeakable pleasure arose deep inside.
Old Cat was terrified to find that it had started to become perverse...
It couldn't resist this perversion because… that was the joy of living.
It had no sense of touch, taste, or smell, and could not enjoy the pleasures of life.
But this time, it was thrilled, addicted and unable to extricate itself.
"So, tell me, what is the purpose of life?" Lu Yuan emphasized heavily.
"To... bully the Holy King," Old Cat trembled violently, showing severe AI malfunction.
"Good, you're teachable," Lu Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
The Cannibal Flower also nodded.
Only the turtle and the dog were clueless: What are you guys enjoying?
...
Without even stopping for his sister's screams, Lu Yuan and his party immediately embarked on the journey to the volcano.
The process was fairly quick; the volcano was just beside this big river, a few days by speedboat was all it took.
That's the benefit of having transportation.
A journey that previously took months was shortened to just five days.
The climate here was extremely hot, much like Flame Mountain.
The air temperature reached 40 degrees Celsius, with only a few drought-resistant plants tenaciously living on the surface.
Along the way, one could see rats, snakes, and various drought-resistant insects.
Big Tree Lu Yuan walked slowly. Each step made a rustling noise of the leaves.
In order to move a bit faster, he fertilized many Cannibal Flower vines, using these vines to support his entire body.
The moving speed reached 10 kilometers per hour.
Although still not comparable to the running speed of humans, it was passably adequate.
"It's so damn hot."
The volcano under the night sky appeared even more majestic, its altitude around 1500 meters, with dark red lava bubbling at the mouth, the vast heat like a dormant red dragon on the land.
"Gurgle," the smell of sulfur incessantly escaped from the volcano.
Feeling the scorching air, getting any closer would set this tree on fire.
And both the Undying Giant Turtle and Old Wolf were clearly uncomfortable, the temperature too hot, sapping their energy.
"What's next? How can I fuse abilities?" Lu Yuan was utterly confused. Approaching the volcano, the Extraordinary Spark remained very calm, showing no reaction.
As for the Eternal Body... it was just a passive ability, it wouldn't stick out or show any reaction either.
"Why don't you scoop up some lava and scald yourself?" Old Cat shook its head, its pupils reflecting the bright red lava. Explore more stories with empire
Lu Yuan was silent, imagining himself being scalded to the point of bursting open, he felt like he had experienced such a scene before...
That's right, when he fought with the Demon Shadow Illumination, the whole room turned into lava!
But at that time, his adrenaline was surging, suppressing the pain.
"I don't think it's that simple... If lava could work, I would have already evolved in that chamber, by then I already possessed the Eternal Body and Extraordinary Spark."
"Maybe natural lava is somehow different from man-made lava?" Old Cat said.
"You have a point, but I still feel it's not that simple..."
That damn Mirror Demon only provided vague information.
It didn't mention any specific details.
This made things quite uncomfortable.
Lu Yuan didn't want to trade with the Mirror Demon over such a minor issue.
He preferred to spend a bit more time figuring things out on his own.
Lu Yuan led the team around the volcano several times, looking for a hot spring or geothermal site to study.
