C1394 forest of repose
In the afternoon of the second day, they reached the end of the plains. In front of them was a vast primitive forest. Xia Lei saw a giant tree at the edge of the forest. It had a diameter of at least thirty meters, and its canopy was opened like a giant umbrella, covering an area of over a thousand meters. The tree trunk was covered in moss and vines, which made the size of the tree even larger. Xia Lei had never seen such a huge tree before, but this kind of tree could be found everywhere in the forest, and it was not the largest one either.
This forest must have existed for millions of years, Xia Lei guessed.
"This is the Peace Forest, the place where humans are forbidden to enter." Lan Ji'er said: "Are you sure you want to go in? If you regret it now, you can still go back. "
"Regret?" Xia Lei laughed, "I will not regret this."
"You might die inside. No one can come out alive."
Xia Lei replied, "Didn't you also come out alive?"
Lan Ji'er said: "I am different from you. I am the Ahimis, and this is our land."
"Alright, lead the way." Xia Lei had never even thought of going back. Entering Peace Forest was indeed dangerous, and he might even die there, but he was not afraid. Furthermore, he had a companion that even Lan Ji'er did not know about, and that was the Lan Long, Ri Hua.
"Well, come with me. Lan Ji'er took the lead and walked towards the Peace Forest, "However, I must tell you, if you die, don't expect me to retrieve your corpse for you."
Xia Lei only laughed as he followed Lan Ji'er into the forest.
The moment he entered the forest, Xia Lei had a strange feeling; it was as if he had walked into another world. And at the edge of the forest, there seemed to be an invisible barrier, and he had just passed through that barrier.
Suddenly, the branding power awakened, recovering bit by bit. The awakening of the branding power gave Xia Lei a big shock, he could not help but stop and observe the sudden change in his body.
"What are you standing there for? Do you regret it? " Lan Ji'er turned his head to look at Xia Lei.
Xia Lei suddenly retreated.
"You?" Lan Ji'er suddenly laughed, "Coward! "You're not much, you can go back now, you can go back to your eight little girls and enjoy your life."
However, Xia Lei acted as if he did not hear her voice. His expression was extremely serious, but his eyes were still filled with surprise and joy. If Peace Forest was not affected by Lan Yue's influence and his branding power's energy could be used normally, then it shouldn't be too difficult for him to enter and exit the Peace Forest. Furthermore, the awakening of the branding power meant that his abilities had returned, and the return of his abilities helped him to find the answer!
However, just as he was about to leave the Peace Forest, the energy of the branding power suddenly went back to slumber. This time, he had come to a conclusion from his attempt. Peace Forest bringing along a energy field, it was not restricted by the blue moon in the sky!
Xia Lei's heart was filled with surprise, "Could this be because of that energy tree? Or could it be that this place contains a large number of spiritual ore and the energy released by them has formed a natural energy field, which is just right to cancel Lan Yue's energy field? "
"Coward." Lan Ji'er disdainfully glanced at Xia Lei, then turned and left.
Xia Lei chased after him, "Wait for me."
"Why did you come in again? Aren't you a little too repetitive? " Lan Ji'er's mouth was unforgiving.
Xia Lei laughed, "I wasn't afraid to go back just now, I was just testing to see how I feel."
"Test your feelings?" Lan Ji'er looked at Xia Lei strangely.
Xia Lei said: "Yes, when you entered the Peace Forest, did you have any strange feeling, as if you suddenly felt a bubble bubble?"
"What's a soap bubble?"
"Hmm, let me put it another way. It's like a bubble of saliva. Do you have that feeling?" Xia Lei looked at Lan Ji'er with anticipation.
"You're sick." Lan Ji'er shifted her gaze away and continued walking forward.
Xia Lei chased after her, "Don't be like this, tell me, this is very important to me."
Lan Ji'er said: "It doesn't feel like I'm squeezing in a bubble or bubbling with water, but rather, it feels like I'm returning home, it's a very intimate feeling."
Xia Lei still had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, but gave up when the words came to his mouth. After all, Lan Ji'er was not someone who had undergone a complete evolution in her body. She did not even have a branding power in her body, so how could she feel the feeling of being squeezed into a energy field? The feeling of familiarity she spoke of was just a normal feeling of leaving home and returning home. There was nothing to be curious about.
As his footsteps went deeper, Xia Lei discovered that the branding power energy in his body was being affected by Lan Yue, and after a journey of approximately two kilometers, it had completely disappeared. Furthermore, his branding power energy had also completely returned, and had activated all of the abilities in his body.1
Perspective, micro vision, remote vision, scanning, even better hearing than a hound. With the return of these abilities, his control of his surroundings had reached the limit. He could see insects crawling up the trunk of a tree a thousand meters away, and he could hear birds chirping hundreds of meters away. He could see the pores on Lan Ji'er's skin, as well as the liquid inside them. The liquid was obviously not sweat, but rather sticky. The material of the membrane.
This unexpected discovery made him suddenly understand why Ahimis did not wear underwear, their pores would release that kind of sticky substance. the substance of the membrane, which then forms the sticky substance. Mask, if you're wearing underwear... In his mind, he suddenly recalled the scene of Lan Ji'er furiously grabbing onto a piece of cloth that was stuck on a certain place.
Along the way, Xia Lei also saw the bones of many humans. Their corpses no longer had any tissue, only white bones. Their belongings were mostly decayed, but some could still identify the age of production and manufacturers.
Xia Lei found a leather bag beside one of the bones. The purse was buried in the dirt, except for the straps. He had seen the strap of the purse, and then he had looked at the ground and found a purse in the dirt. The tape snapped when he tried to pull it out. He used his saber to pull out his leather bag.
The leather bag inside the dirt was preserved fairly well because it didn't have any direct contact with the air. The zipper was made of aluminum, and it wasn't rusted at all. He shook off the dirt on the zipper, which was still unzipping.
Opening his purse, he found a camera, a notebook, a pen, and some small items, such as a knife to trim the armor, and a leather wallet. The wallet was bulging and seemed to hold a lot of stuff.
Xia Lei opened his wallet to see what was inside. There was an ID card with information about the deceased: Kante, citizen of District 1, born on August 3, 1418, with the address of Building 78, 23 Pacific Street, Holy City.
There was still some blood type, height, weight and other information on the ID card, but Xia Lei was no longer interested in that trivial piece of information. What interested him was the date of birth of this citizen called Kante, and he thought to himself, "This person named Kante was born in the new century, year 1018. The era of the Saint Ray? Or was it the era after the death of Saint Ray? Or was it the era before the Saint Ray?
Of the three possibilities, the last one had the least possible existence. The first and second one had the greatest possibility, but no matter which one was the correct answer. And it was precisely this simple ABC multiple choice that had baffled Xia Lei. He held Kante's identity card and asked Lan Ji'er: "Have you seen this type of identity card before?"
Lan Ji'er glanced at it, "No, that should be something very ancient. Humans nowadays do not use these things."
"New century 1018 years, what era is this?" Xia Lei asked again.
A hint of disdain surfaced on the corner of Lan Ji'er's mouth, "1018 years of the new century, that is a concept that you humans have set for yourself, right? We do not have an age, we Ahimis do not have the concept of time. In our Ahimis's opinion, time does not exist. We believe in the existence of reincarnation. "
"You don't believe in reincarnation? What reincarnation? " Xia Lei was suddenly intrigued.
Lan Ji'er said: "You will die here, and be reborn in another place."
Xia Lei was startled, "What does that mean?"
Lan Ji'er said: "Go and ask the elders of our clan, if they can accept your words. I can't answer that question because I don't understand it either. "
Xia Lei nodded his head, "I'll go back and ask."
Lan Ji'er said, "But you must be careful, the people in your clan do not like you humans. I heard from my clan's elders that the humans of the Saint Ray era are very detestable, digging up minerals and black oil everywhere to destroy the environment. One by one your cities spring up like mushrooms after rain, but the sky is no longer blue and the rivers are no longer clear. "But it's good now. You guys are almost finished. Everything is normal now."
Xia Lei laughed bitterly, "There are good people too, and not everyone is a bad person. Just like me, I am a good person. I won't hurt you. I'll save you when you're in danger, right? "
Lan Ji'er said: "No, I am not targeting you, nor are I targeting you humans. All of you are actually quite pitiful. You think you have conquered this world, but now you have become food for the blue moon man, and have been hunted and killed like animals by the blue moon man. However, what I don't understand is that you are all at the point of destruction, and are still unable to unite against the blue moon man. Instead, you all kill each other, find the time to seek benefits, and enjoy your last bit of insanity. I know you want to solve some doubts and become the hero who will save the world, but I think you're wasting your time. "
Xia Lei could not dislike her because of what Lan Ji'er said, because what she said was the truth.
"I don't want to be a hero. I just want to solve some of the puzzles in my heart, find the answers, and then go home." Xia Lei said.
"Where is your home?"
"Far away." Xia Lei continued to rummage through his wallet.
Lan Ji'er smirked, she was obviously not satisfied with Xia Lei's words that were obviously deceiving her.
Xia Lei found a few coins in his wallet, but because it had been there for such a long time, the color and patterns, as well as the numbers on the coins had all disappeared, leaving behind only the piece of paper that would rot from a single touch. The money was full of bacteria, and even in the soil they multiplied and destroyed the parasitic objects.
"Are you going or not? What's so good about dead people's things? " Lan Ji'er said.
"Let's go." Xia Lei saw that his wallet and identity card were placed on "Kante's" body, then he took the camera and notebook from the bag. As he walked, he rebelled against the notebook.
Adventurers all liked to write diaries, and this Kante was no exception. Opening the notebook, Xia Lei saw the contents inside, but his heart sank, because he could no longer make out the words clearly.
