Chapter 15: The Road Upon Us (Part 1)
Early the next morning.
The sun slowly rose from the east, and the early morning sunlight sprinkled on the Star Dou Great Forest, through the dense branches and leaves, forming a small beam of light, shining on the misty and swirling forest, the breeze blew, but it stopped in a dead place.
The earth grew from muddy yellow, and the trees began to become a little strange, the branches were twisted, there were no living creatures, and there was a rotten smell everywhere, like hell. It's a completely different place from the forest, and it's hard to imagine that there is such a scene in the forest.
Between the forest mist, a figure slowly walked in this psychedelia, stepping on the ground, making a slight sound, floating in the forest mist.
There were no birdsong around, let alone the shadow of beasts, only traces left by the hasty escape of soul beasts nearby, indicating how urgent the past was that had happened before.
He is used to it, he has long been accustomed to it, living alone, walking alone, cultivating alone, although this kind of life is boring, but it makes people know what it means to be lonely and free. Life is nothing more than to be born and to live, although life in the forest is difficult, the spices are eaten and the clothes are worn, but so what?
If there is no seasoning, then find a substitute plant by yourself, the clothes are worn, and you can't wear them at all, so you can sew them with animal skins and wear them as clothes, it doesn't matter, anyway, there is no one in the forest, even if he is naked.
But the only thing he had was a little shame stopped him.
The path he's taking now is the one he's explored, the same path he's encountered with the Burst Owl.
Today, he is no longer afraid, with his current quality, when he encounters the thousand-year-old soul beast again, he also has a certain ability to fight back, instead of just relying on nuclear radiation to grind him to death, although he is still very weak in terms of his current level 20 soul power, but the cultivation in the past three years is not a decoration, and the power of self-preservation, he has already mastered it.
The reason why he took this path was very simple, he wanted to see the bones of the corpse before, he wanted to know what had happened, someone actually broke into the forest alone, although there were many soul beasts here, and it was also the closest to the city, but this was not a reason for a person to come here to obtain a soul ring.
Maybe he thought about it, he was not alone, but so what, with the strength of that Burst Owl Bear, if he didn't have a certain level of soul power, he would be sent to death when he met him. And soul beasts that are stronger than the Burst Owl Bear abound, and he once wanted to go over and look through them, but he felt that the depths of the forest were still too dangerous, and there was no need to venture deeper.
But at this moment, the time has come, if he doesn't set off into the depths to obtain the soul ring, I'm afraid he will have to drink the water of the forest lake for several more days. Although the nuclear radiation in it has nothing to do with him, after all, he is the source of radiation, how can something emanating from him hurt him.
The most important thing is that it is too dirty, he blocked the tributaries, which is equivalent to the lake in the forest has become a stagnant pool with no place to circulate, tsk, as long as you drink it for a few days, the smell can be wrapped around your body for more than a month.
As for the water to drink during this time?
Don't ask about this kind of thing, it hurts your feelings.
"How long will it take? Why does this fog always linger, and if you go the wrong way, it will be over. Uchiha looked at the faint mist around him, a little annoyed for a moment. The forest is no threat to him, he is just afraid that he will waste time by taking the wrong path, and when the time comes, he will have to turn back, which makes people angry when he thinks about it.
There is no way, his radiation can't dispel the aura, and just keep walking, the last thing he lacks is time, it's a big deal to take your time. After figuring this out and comforting himself, the boy moved on.
Soon he came to a boulder, surrounded by rancid plants, and a large pool of black earth, darker than the surrounding color, which looked rather strange.
"Is this where I almost died?"
Uchiha uranium put his hand on the boulder, touched it all the way, and stayed in the position where he had hit it for a while, and now he can still recall the extremely dangerous scene in his mind, the sudden attack, was knocked more than ten meters away, rolled and hit the boulder, and finally passed out in pain.
If it weren't for the Burst Owl Bear who died under the radiation first, I'm afraid he wouldn't have seen the sun the next day.
If it weren't for his whim, he protected the side of the machete to his neck and head, I'm afraid that the slap at that time would not simply slap him away, but directly smash his head, slap his neck, and die on the spot.
"Intuition saved my life, although the bear is full of suspicions until now, but I don't have a place to check it now, alas~"
With a sigh, the boy continued to look at the deep, black ground where the Burst Owl had fallen.
"There's nothing to look at, I'm lucky to survive."
After a few moments, the boy continued his journey.
This place is the place where he crossed life and death, his past, and his past.
And he continues to move forward, which means that he is no longer bound by the past, farewell to the past, he wants to move forward and go further!
Soon, an hour and a half later, he was in front of the hollow of the tree.
With the arrival of noon, the surrounding fog has dissipated at some point, leaving only a hazy moisture still lingering on the surrounding vegetation, indicating that he has been here.
After three years, this tree hole was even more dilapidated than he had ever seen, but the hole was very large, and it seemed that some soul beast had tried to scratch it, if nothing else, it should be for the meat inside.
That is, he may not find anything.
With this question in mind, the boy first set three traps around him, fearing that he would repeat the surprise attack, and then used a torch to illuminate the situation in the hollow of the tree.
The remains of half-humanoid bones, torn leather armor scattered around, and long swords that had long been bent, everything seemed so normal, it was a soul master who died here.
After a while, the boy dragged the skeleton out, the bones were very loose, and there was a pit when he pinched it, which was very different from the bones of normal people, you must know that even if a person dies for ten years, the bones will not be like this, they are all hard.
"Is there anything going on?"
Muttering to himself, the boy continued to look around, trying to find some clues, such as documents, letters, badges, clothing, etc., and even he looked at the end of the long sword to see if there were any marks.
It's a pity, the surroundings are too damaged, there is nothing effective for him to sort out what is going on, the leather armor has rotted under the erosion of nature, the long sword is even more rusty, there is nothing in the lower body, it is cut off from the lumbar vertebrae, it should be something very large from the opening, and the waist is gone in one bite. But it's strange, why only eat half of it?
If you can swallow half of your body, isn't it easy to swallow the other half?
The teenager suddenly found that something was not right!
