Volume 2 Frontier Chapter 2 Forest Path

Mu Chen took Jiayue through the entire Jietu Department, and when he was about to reach the exit of the camp, a piece of corpses appeared in front of him again, Mu Chen walked in front of him with some hesitation, Jiayue saw his hesitant pace and quickened his pace to overtake him, and continued to move forward without hesitation in the pile of corpses.

"Don't you have anything to ask me?" After the two of them walked out of the Boundary Map Department, Mu Chen asked.

"No, I've seen them on the way here. ”

"Are you not moved at all when you see so many of your people killed?"

"They will be resurrected. ”

"Hmm, resurrection, how do you know?" Mu Chen pulled Jiayue in front of him.

"Loosen up, you don't have to care about my feelings, we are naturally hostile, if you don't kill them, they will kill you too. Jiayue understood that because she had some scruples about Mu Chen, she also knew that this was the fate of the two races, and no one could be blamed.

"You... Are you, like Chunyue, having seen me kill your people and resurrect them?"

"No, I guess. ”

"Guess?"

"You broke into the Atlas alone, slaughtered the entire tribe, and wandered the camp in search of survivors, which is not something a newcomer would do. You also easily took Chunyue away without alarming anyone, then you should also know the terrain of our tribe well, you are so familiar with the two major tribes of the wasteland, it can't be that someone invited you here, right?" She was sure that this was not the first time he had come to the Boundary Map Department, and she also guessed that the Chake tribe to which she belonged was likely to have been slaughtered as well, and since both tribes had been washed in blood, how to explain the living tribesmen would only make sense if they came back from the dead.

"Look down on you, you're so smart. Mu Chen smiled awkwardly.

"I just don't understand one thing, how come I have never heard of you after so many people died, it stands to reason that if there was such a powerful enemy in the wasteland, it should have spread a long time ago, how could there be no news at all. ”

"Because you have no memory, you will be resurrected after being killed by me, but you will not leave any impression on me. ”

"Well, that's why you're searching for the live and leaving no witnesses. Jiayue happily accepted this answer, without doubting or asking.

"Speaking of which, I also have a question, where is the tree of life of your tribe? I have been to all three tribes, but I have never seen them. ”

"I don't know where the tree of life is, each tribe has one, but the specific location is unknown, the tree of life is a sacred tree, related to the life and death of the entire tribe, no one is allowed to approach, and the location has always been kept secret. ”

"I've trodden every inch of the wasteland, and I've searched carefully, but I've never seen a tree of life. ”

"No way, the wasteland is so big, you must have missed something, if not, how were we born and how were we resurrected?"

"I haven't figured this out, after I challenged the Queen of the Wasteland, I occasionally encountered such a scene, your tribe came out of the nest of the demonic beast, and the demonic beast did not attack him. I followed curiously, and his eyes were misty and languishing, as if he had been cast under some kind of spell, and he didn't come back to his senses until he entered the camp, looking overwhelmed and remembering nothing. ”

"What do you mean, are we..."

"I can't say the specifics, when we see Chunyue, we'll ask her well, she has participated in the whole process, what should she know. Mu Chen just guessed that the resurrection of the wastelanders had some kind of connection with the demonic beasts, but it had not been confirmed, and if this topic continued, it would only become more confusing and might lead to a quarrel, so he quickly stopped Jiayue and stopped discussing the matter.

The two walked back and forth, Jiayue still had doubts about the resurrection method of the wasteland people mentioned by Mu Chen, but she was not the kind of character who stalked and got to the bottom of it, since Mu Chen interrupted her, she stopped asking and silently followed behind him.

The two of them had already left the boundary map department some distance, and beyond that was the junction between the human continent and the wasteland, and it was also the only gap in the lofty mountains and mountains on this natural dividing line, Mu Chen and the black dragon did not meet here, so he summoned the griffin to prepare to fly.

"Is it a long distance and still need to fly?"

"If we don't go from here, we'll go to the mountains over there to meet Junyue. Mu Chen mounted a griffin and pointed to the mountains to the west.

"You can't fly over the mountains on the border. ”

"It's not to fly over, it's to find a mountain path and walk through there. Mu Chen explained as he stretched out his hand to pull Jiayue up.

The mountains and mountains on the border cannot be crossed, and even if there are some small roads in the high-altitude areas, the mountain roads are rugged and the monsters are rampant, and it is not easy to pass. And now she actually had to pass through the mountains, which Jiayue couldn't understand, but she still rode a griffin and flew into the sky with Mu Chen.

"Are you sure you're here? Are we going to fight all the way through the mountains infested with high-level demonic beasts?" Jia Yue has been traveling in the wasteland for three years, and although she has never entered the border mountains, she knows a thing or two about it.

"When I first came to the wasteland, in order to bypass the boundary map department, I almost walked all the nearby mountains, and there was a path below the mountainside, and there were no magical beasts, so you could pass directly. ”

"Why do you want to live in the Borderlands, how long have you been in the Wasteland?"

"Come to the wasteland for three years, and the first year is always going back and forth between the border and the boundary map department. At that time, the Boundary Map Department was too strong for me to win, so I always challenged with confidence, and then returned with scars and failures, and now I think about it, I really worked hard. Mu Chen looked back at Jiayue and smiled bitterly.

"It turns out that you also had a fledgling and youthful time, and I thought you were born so strong. ”

"I never thought that there were so many strong enemies in the wasteland separated by a mountain from the human continent, and it was not green to talk about, but I couldn't lose for my dreams. ”

"Dream, what dream, it's your dream to slaughter the people of the wasteland?" Although Jiayue knew that he would not come to the wasteland for the sake of killing, the bloodbathed boundary map was still vivid, so he followed his emotions and complained sarcastically.

"I went to the wasteland for the world behind the wasteland king, and I dare not say that the slaughter of the wasteland people was forced, but there is really nothing to be done. ”

"Have you seen the King of the Wasteland?" Jiayue was a little surprised.

"It's here, grab me, and you're ready to land. Jiayue grabbed Mu Chen's clothes with both hands, not panicking at all.

The griffons descended slowly towards the mountainside, and from above, there was nothing but dense woods, and the lush trees were so dense that there was no path in sight, and the griffons hovering with their wings flapping quickly did not even have a place to stay.

"Go over there. Mu Chen guided it towards a boulder in the distance.

The boulder was embedded in the woods to expose the upper half, just right for the griffin to land, and after falling smoothly, Mu Chen looked around, found the right direction and jumped down with Jiayue.

Walking into the woods, the dappled sunlight shines on the ground through the dense branches and leaves, and there is really a road, if you don't walk through the forest yourself, you really can't find it.

"You've flown before, so I'm not in a hurry and have experience. ”

"Of course, we are responsible for protecting the king, and the air can be both defensive and reconnaissance, and flying must be trained regularly. ”

"Yes, why can't Chunyue, when I took her to fly, it should be the first time to look at her, and I was very excited. ”

"Although she is a mid-level barren layer, she is not responsible for this. Can you see the pure moon through this forest?"

"Well, you'll see it through the woods and down the mountain. ”

"I've heard that the mountains on the border can't fly, but didn't they fly in just now? Why don't you keep going along the treetops, it's not much faster. ”

"I've tried this method a long time ago, the inability to fly here has nothing to do with the fact that the mountain peaks are too high and the natural environment is too poor, there is no way to get close at all, the place where I landed just now is the closest position that the griffon can reach, and then it will be blocked by strong winds, and all the birds are shielded from the outside and cannot pass. ”

"I said that no matter how high the mountain is, there is a valley, why no one flies from the valley, it turns out that it is blocked by the invisible wind. ”

"The mountains on the border seem to be enchanted, flying is blocked by strong winds, and climbing to high altitudes above the mountainside will encounter high-level magical beasts and harsh natural environments, and I tried all the methods to find this path by mistake. ”

"Then why didn't you go over here and insist on fighting with the Boundary Map Department?"

"It's useless, the Boundary Map Department will patrol all the valleys and passes, and even if I cross the entire mountain range safely, they will already be waiting for me on the other side. ”

"Did you just say that you had a year to travel back and forth between the border and the Boundary Map Department, and finally entered the wasteland from here?"

"No, from the front of the Boundary Chart. ”

"Front, you can go from being unable to defeat to slaughtering an entire tribe in a year?"

"It should have been a massacre at the time, and there was resentment in my heart at that time. ”

"This..."Jia Yue was speechless for a moment, looking at Mu Chen in astonishment, the two of them were moving forward at a constant speed along the path, but after hearing his answer, her pace was disordered, and she distanced herself from Mu Chen slightly.

"What's wrong?" Mu Chen saw that she didn't follow, so he turned around and asked.

"No... Nothing, keep walking. Jiayue knew that he was powerful, but she didn't know that he had gone from an arrogant challenger with no chance of winning and no depth to a lone ranger who crushed the entire tribe in the wasteland in just one year, whether it was due to his outstanding talents or his immovable faith, either of which amazed her.

She stabilized her mind and took two quick steps to catch up, she still had a grudge against Mu Chen before, although she knew that he took Chunyue away with good intentions, and she also felt his honesty along the way, but after all, they belonged to two worlds and were hostile to each other. And now, she clearly realized the insurmountable gap in strength between them, and could only hope that she was right to follow him, except for trust, other ideas have long lost their meaning.
