Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

"What does this mean?"

Chen Ye observed the shape of the luck halo above his head and fell into brief contemplation.

From the color point of view, black and yellow represent wealth, black represents disaster, and sky blue symbolizes creation.

Three different auras form an image at the same time...

Does it mean that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and wealth and honor are found in danger?

For a moment, Chen Ye couldn't tell whether this was good or bad.

If there are only black and yellow intertwined, it can be understood as "a business that requires taking risks."

But there happened to be a blue halo coming over.

Those who didn’t know thought they were going to do some kind of “three-body exercise”…

This makes the phenomenon of luck, which was originally difficult to analyze, even more complicated.

However, Chen Ye knew that the blue color had other symbolic meanings besides creation——

The sea!

Whether it is the son of Poseidon or Miss Squirrel Fish, the aura is embellished with blue light.

Chen Ye tried to analyze it from another angle:

“This blue color does not necessarily represent creation.”

"Maybe it's someone related to the blue aura of luck, or maybe it's the location..."

"There is a place that has a strong connection with the azure halo!"

Xijiang!

Chen Ye suddenly realized that this location was closely related to the "blue" aura.

You might have some luck if you go here.

He left a few sugar-roasted chestnuts on the spot and placed them next to the old man Erhu's bed. He left from the west gate of the Xining alley and quickly headed to Xijiang Park.

It was noon, but thick clouds blocked the sun. Although there was no thick fog like yesterday, the whole city was still shrouded in gloomy weather.

When passing by the pedestrian street, there seemed to be fewer shops open next to it.

It's almost impossible to find a few open stores.

But what surprised Chen Ye was...

On the only way to Xijiang Park, a row of barbecue stalls are open for business, with billowing black smoke rising from the grills.

However.

Compared with yesterday, these barbecue stalls actually had a lot more numb-looking customers queuing up to buy barbecue.

Compared with the desolation along the way before.

The excitement here seems even more bizarre.

Chen Ye opened the Eye of Luck and found that these guests were surrounded by black mist, and frowned slightly.

This made him instinctively take a few steps away from the barbecue stall.

Passing by this place, speed up and run through it.

He quickly threw the barbecue stall a hundred meters away.

"It seems like nothing happened..."

Seeing that the halo of luck above his head had not changed, Chen Ye muttered in his heart, how could anyone be willing to queue up for such a terrible barbecue?

Such an uncharacteristic thing made Chen Ye pay more attention to avoid violating any strange rules.

Even if there is no danger warning in the luck halo...

When I came to Xijiang, the environment became much safer.

Follow the cobblestone flower garden path and walk all the way downstream.

When passing the embankment, the barren and empty downstream appears in front of us.

However, just when Chen Ye's eyes fell on the river, his pupils shrank slightly!

The giant bloody eyes have become four!

As the dead white eyelids blinked, turbid ripples appeared on a pool of ink-colored water like stagnant water.

It was as if there was a huge wooden stick stirring up the entire mushy river surface and pushing it around.

The rate of water pollution is accelerating...

The black mist lingering on the river became thicker than before.

Chen Ye stopped in the distance, instead of approaching the downstream area rashly, he retreated to the position of the dam.

When I passed several Poseidon descendants along the way...

He immediately opened the Eyes of Luck and observed the color of the aura on the opponent's body.

As expected, the black and red evil aura became more intense than before!

That blackness is like an endless abyss. Once you fall into it, you will never recover.

You can think of it all...

This aura must be related to disaster!

At a glance, most of the children of Poseidon have similar auras.

Even compared to the last time, many of the children of Poseidon who were not that serious have auras that are more serious now.

On the contrary, for some players who come to work, the situation is not so obvious, but it is not optimistic either.

"I need to ask about the specific situation..."

Chen Ye instinctively felt that the situation downstream was not as good as imagined.

He took off his human skin mask and repainted an amiable face to prevent other players from recognizing him as the 'Forbidden Creed' from the lower reaches of the Xijiang River.

Then, he found a son of Poseidon who had a younger face and seemed easier to talk to. He stopped him and asked:

"This respected storm citizen..."

Chen Ye used the plot dialogue commonly used in games to address the other party...

as expected.

When he heard "People of the Storm", the young descendant of Poseidon turned his head and hammered his chest with his right hand.

"The storm is with you, traveler, and you may call me Eloy."

Chen Ye smiled. He knew that by using the correct communication method, he had gained the other party's initial approval.

He pointed in the direction of the downstream and asked with a slightly anxious tone: "I want to know what happened there. Why does the water over there... look so weird?"

Eloy said with disdain: "Oh, it's just a spreading pollution."

"pollute?"

"Yes..." Eloi recalled the stories of the elders in the clan, and then explained to Chen Ye: "That is an unknown sea area, connecting this city of destiny."

"You should know that the seas in this world are all interconnected. When one place is polluted, it will cross the ocean and drift to the entire sea area."

"With the purification ability of the sea, conventional pollution will not have any impact, even if it is only a little bit superficial."

"But this pollution will continue to spread and be a little more serious than expected."

Is it just a little more serious?

Chen Ye frowned slightly in his heart. According to the other party's explanation, it turned out to be from another sea area.

And connected to the City of Destiny...what does this mean?

Before Chen Ye could ask, Eloi said proudly:

"Heh, but these things are not serious problems for our Poseidon clan."

"We have the blessing of the Dragon God! We have great power given by God! We have a magnificent dam!"

"These contaminations cannot break through our defenses, they are so insignificant!"

Seeing Eloy showing such a confident look, Chen Ye took back the words he had just spoken, not wanting to hurt the other party's self-confidence, so as not to cause unnecessary disputes.

"May the storm be with you."

“May the storm be with you.”

Chen Ye hammered his chest with his right hand, bowed slightly, and said goodbye to Eloy in the way that a descendant of Poseidon would.

He returned to the lower reaches of the Xijiang River and looked far into the direction of the estuary.

Thick black clouds accumulated in the sky over there, as if there was no sunshine all year round.

If you look at it with the Eye of Luck, you will find that the evil energy over there is even stronger, as if it has enveloped the whole world, and even the sky is about to collapse!

"Is it really that simple..."

Recalling the confident smile of the Poseidon's heir, Chen Ye mocked silently.

The next second.

He took out the suona tied around his waist, spun it in place against the storm, and started playing.
