Chapter 31
"I am indeed afraid that I will receive news of their death one day," Liu Ji sighed, "but, more importantly, when I met them, I felt alive again."
As he said, Liu Ji turned his head and looked at Misa: "I am different from you. You are guarding this desert for the whole world and for the last wishes of your lover, but I, to be honest, when I was a potato for those years, I was simply because I couldn't survive in the wild. It would be more comfortable to become a potato buried in the ground and enjoy the sun than to starve."
"I even thought that I might be happy to be a potato," Liu Ji said, "but I found out that I was wrong. When you told me that I had been a potato for thousands of years, I was in a trance. Think about it, thousands of years! As a human being, I have been a potato for thousands of years. I have only lived for twenty years. Compared with that, I should be more like a potato in my self-perception.
But what is the result? I still think I am a person.
The thousand years of time, to me, are like a long sleep, comfortable, lazy, but meaningless.
If possible, I really don’t want to spend my days aimlessly and numbly. "
"Well... so, now that you put it that way, I can understand," Misa nodded, "Then, in that case, why don’t you leave with them?"
"Easy to say," Liu Ji rolled his eyes, "How can an ordinary young man like me who can’t even tie a chicken fight a humanoid self-propelled atomic bomb?"
"No, I didn’t tell you to go and fight him now, are you that scared?" Misa’s expression was subtle "I also said that you have no obligation to save the world. After all, the world doesn't care who rules it, but it took that guy a thousand years to rule half of the world. Now he hasn't even discovered that there is a new world on the other side of the desert. If you avoid him all the way, theoretically you can wander around outside until your companions die of old age."
"But you also said that they have such a big hatred for him, and they will fight him one day," Liu Ji sighed, "If they fight, won't they be finished?"
"Why must they be finished?" Misa asked in confusion, "I just asked them, can't you turn into whatever you eat? Your race has such a magical talent. Hasn't there been someone as awesome as him in the world before you?"
"Ah?" Liu Ji was stunned, "Wait a minute, wait ... Wait, what racial talent?"
"Hmm? That's your racial talent," Mass blinked, "You can transform into whatever you eat. That half-demon girl told me that you swallowed a pure water element alive, and then watched you transform into an element for a moment."
"Ah? This, isn't right?" Liu Ji said in astonishment, "Isn't this the ability given to me by that summoning spell?"
"Huh? That spell doesn't give you any abilities except a blessing?" Mass was also a little confused, "You mean this ability is not your racial talent?"
"I...not? People in my world are very ordinary," Liu Ji said blankly, "There was no magic in the world I stayed in before."
The two stared at each other for a long time without saying anything.
The silence lasted for a while. Misa thought for a moment and said, "Well, okay, let's not worry about where your ability comes from. In this way, you can become a water element. There is plenty of water here. Why don't you give it a try?"

"Bang!"
The keratinous fist hit the face of the thin earthwalker boy.
He staggered back two steps and fell to the ground.
"Chicken, you should know how much money you owe us," the sturdy earth walker clenched his fists, his eyes narrowed into a slit and full of arrogance, "The boss has raised you for so many years, and every meal is a crystal. You joined the club at the age of six and have eaten for twelve years. Calculate how many crystals you owe the boss."
"Bah! I haven't been eating and not working for so many years!" The earth walker boy called Chicken said, and got up and wanted to run, but was kicked back to the ground by another earth walker who blocked his other side at some point.
"The work you do is only worth a shack to sleep in," the sturdy land walker clenched his right fist and hammered it rhythmically on the palm of his left hand, "The boss kindly gave you food and raised your child, but you actually went to join the army for nothing!?"
"What's wrong with joining the army! Every land walker should fight bravely to defend their homeland!" Chicken shouted loudly, "My parents, grandparents, they are all great soldiers who sacrificed for their race! I want to be like them!"
"Well, you want to go! Then you should pay back the money you owe to the boss first," the sturdy land walker pulled up his collar, "You don't want to pay back the money, and you want to run away, which makes it difficult for me, your big brother, to deal with it?"
"Bah! Whose big brother are you! Fuck you! You bastards!" Chicken said, punching the face of the muscular man who looked twice his size.
Although there was a difference in size, the Earth Walker was born with strong upper limb strength. This punch at close range still made the sturdy Earth Walker's head buzz.
Then, he was naturally enraged.
The sturdy Earth Walker shook his head and shouted with a voice that was almost squeezed out of his teeth: "You bastard, you dare to fight back, right? Today I must let you know what it means to respect your elders! Brothers! Beat him up!"
After that, he threw the chicken to the ground and kicked him on the head.
However, with a "duang" sound, his foot seemed to have hit a hard rock surface, and his knee joints were almost bruised by the unexpected impact.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, although we have met countless unlucky people before, you are really the toughest one I have ever seen." The Miffy tribe member carrying a huge book slowly walked over and cleared his throat. He looked around and asked, "By the way, I just heard you talking about crystal stones. Do you mean those shiny things on both sides of the road? Do you have any on your body? If so, please give me some."
48. Come on, brother, a whole plate of hard food
Roads of water slowly rise from the pond, floating, flowing, and constantly gathering in the air.
Not long after, a human-shaped liquid collection appeared above the pool. Judging from its curious movements, it seemed to be looking at itself.
By the pool, Mass looked at the wonderful scenery in the sky, and his mouth opened wide unknowingly.
"Oh my god, it really works..." he murmured, "And the magic concentration of this water element, hell...could it be said that the accumulation of growing as a plant for a thousand years will be reflected in the changes?"
Yes, this humanoid liquid floating in the air is Liu Ji who turned into a water elemental elf.
At this moment, he was experiencing a wonderful feeling that he had never experienced before. It was a magical experience in which his spirit seemed to be connected to the world, and all authority related to water gave him the green light.
With just a thought, he can control the water molecules around him to do anything he can understand.
Um……
That's what he said, but this understanding seems to be related to the use of magic. In this regard, he is too new, like a new programmer who has just learned programming for two days, and can only look at a super computer. Confused.
Now, all he can do is condense water and control water flow.
But he can do these two things to the extreme.
He even felt that with just one thought, he could drain all the moisture from this area and condense it together.
But he definitely can't do this, otherwise the plants in this area may wither.
After experiencing this wonderful feeling for a while, he suddenly remembered that the mass was still waiting for him below. He lowered his head... Oh, there was no need to lower his head. In this state, he could feel all the information around him without using his eyes.
He could feel that Mass was looking up at him at this moment, as if testing whether he could see him, shaking his right hand from time to time.
Liu Ji flew to his side, and with a thought, he transformed back into his human form.
"How do you feel?" Mass casually threw Liu Ji's clothes to him.
"It feels amazing," Liu Ji described his feelings just now while putting his clothes on his body.
"Well, that's it," Mass nodded as he listened, "Your ability is indeed miraculous. In all my years of living, this is the first time I've seen someone turn into an elemental spirit."
"Really? It's a pity that I haven't learned magic yet, so I can't do much as an elemental elf." Liu Ji scratched his head, "But it should be able to be used for running away?"
"Well, indeed, no one will be able to find you if you get into the water," Mass nodded, "By the way, since you can eat water elemental elves, can you eat other elemental elves?"
"I haven't eaten this..." Liu Ji blinked, "But what other elemental elves are there?"
"There are only four basic elemental spirits, earth, fire, water, and wind, and the others are all derived from them," Mass touched his chin, "But thinking about it this way, it feels like the other three are really not easy to talk about, right?"
"Ah ha, yes, I can't chew rocks," Liu Ji spread his hands.
"Well... that's not necessarily the case," Miss smiled slightly, "Come on, come with me, I'll show you something."

on the ground.
Yayin slowly raised her staff. Following her movements, a rock wall broke out of the ground, and then continued to rise. In a few minutes, a wall nearly ten meters high was completed.
Putting down her staff and looking at the perfect city wall, she sighed softly.
"What's wrong, are you tired?" Ao Sa put two fleshy cat paws on her shoulders and squeezed them for her, "How about taking a rest?"
"No, I'm not tired," Yayin said, but then sighed, "Do you think Liu Jiji will stay here or come with us?"
"Well..." Ao Sa smiled bitterly, "How should I put it, do you want him to come with us?"
"No, that's not bad," Yayin shrugged. "We don't even have the same language as him, and following our group of people who need to travel around the world in the future is not a good choice for anyone, right?"
"However, he may not necessarily stay here," Osa said. "After all, this long desert will be boring if you stay here for a long time."
"Maybe..." Yayin said, "But there's nothing to worry about. He never called me teacher from the beginning to the end. Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part."
"No, not at all. I can see that he is very serious when studying with you," Ao Sa said. "After talking to Mr. Mass, didn't he go to you as soon as possible? This If I really don’t take you seriously, why should I forget about you when I meet someone who speaks the same language?”
"Tsk, I know, of course I know, I just don't want myself to have too much hope..." Yayin shook her head and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it, let's continue, repair this city sooner, we can also I don’t know what other people’s conditions are like now, so don’t run into any danger..."

"Bang!"
Snow threw his last straight punch.
The sturdy Earthwalker covered his crotch, whimpered and knelt on the ground, glaring at Snow with resentment on his face.
"Hehehehe! Don't look at me with that look. I didn't mean to hit you," Snow raised a brow, "My height is just like this, I can only reach that."
The sturdy Earthwalker didn't say a word, but continued to look at Snow resentfully, with two lines of hot tears even flowing out of his eyes.
"I'll take care of you, tsk," Snow sighed in displeasure, bypassing the unfortunate guy who had lost his glory, walked to the chicken that was covered in the bubble, and asked, "I heard them call you Chicken?"
"Ah, yes, hello! My name is Ji Zai," Ji Zai said, quickly kowtow to thank you, "Thank you very much for helping me! But, you'd better run away. If you hit them, the boss will come to find you." , I will hide in the future, and I will be safe when the army comes to pick me up, don’t worry about me..."
"Hey, don't say that," Snow said. With a wave of his hand, he dispelled the bubble-shaped protective shield and stretched out his hand towards the chicken. "What kind of boss is not boss? I can't stand these evil people the most in my life." So powerful... Oh, by the way, since he is the boss, isn’t he very rich?”
"Ah?" Chicken Boy was stunned, "Well, he has been oppressing us all year round, and he has indeed earned many, many gems..."
"Gem!?" Snow's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Quickly, tell me where he is, and I will go straight to eliminate the evil and gangsters without delay!"

Desert underground.
"Come on, please," Mass said, placing a pot of barbecue in front of Liu Ji.
"Eh? What is this? I'm not hungry either, right now," Liu Ji was stunned.
"I'm not giving you this to fill your stomach," Miss smiled, pointing to the small garden aside, "This is the meat of that thing."
After Liu Ji heard this, he followed Mass's finger and looked over.
This is a small breeding circle where many small animals that look like armadillos are bred.
"This was once a specialty in the desert. We call it the digging rat," said Mass. "This thing has a very magical feature...
It can digest rocks and live off the magic within. "
49. Come on, brother, take a bite
Front row thanks to Boss Shana for the three hundred blades! The boss spent money!
Although I am very grateful for everyone's tips and blades, there is no need to give them. I will add updates after the book is on the shelves. If you can continue to read it by then, it will be the greatest support for me!

Liu Ji never thought that one day he would be able to chew marble alive in his life.
When Mass put a piece of snow-white marble to his mouth, he refused in his heart.
However, probably because of the change in race, although his heart refused, his body began to move involuntarily.
Dig Mouse's eyesight was very poor. He could hardly see what was in front of him, but his keen sense of smell kept telling him: "There is a stone in front of you! You can hit it! Hurry up and hit it!"
After much hesitation, in order to test the possibility of his ability, Liu Ji opened his mouth wide and took a sip.
Um……
Why does this stone have no smell?
Oh, no, it’s not that the stone is tasteless, it seems that my tongue can’t taste it.
It makes sense when you think about it. If an animal that spends its days digging away stones and debris to eat develops a sense of taste, isn’t that torturing itself?
Just like chewing plain water ice cubes, Liu Ji swallowed the stone with a loud bang.
Then, after about a few seconds, he actually felt a different kind of impulse that was different from before.
Maybe...he could really turn into a stone.
After swallowing the last bit of stone residue in his mouth, Liu Ji took a deep breath, took two steps back, and immediately followed the impulse in his heart.
Then, he turned into a crystal clear jade stone under the astonished eyes of Mass.
But only for a second, Liu Ji suddenly changed back to his human form, sitting on the ground with dull eyes, unable to recover for a long time.
"Eh? What's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Mass shook him.
"No, it's okay, hu, it's okay," Liu Ji murmured, "Just, just for a moment, I couldn't feel anything. I couldn't even feel my own body. I had no consciousness and couldn't think. I just felt like I was dead. Same thing..."
