Chapter 877: Zyra joins
Three days later, the Zhuyuan crossed almost the entire ancient jungle of Kumang and headed south to a place called the Miasma Jungle.
As the name suggests, the Miasma Jungle is a lush rainforest with towering bushes that stretch as far as the eye can see, shrouded in mist all year round.
"It's all here, and I still haven't seen the monster you talked about...... Isn't it big? Sarah yawned boredly in the captain's room, and the beach chairs she had prepared were completely useless, because the further south she went, the more rainy it became, and there was no chance of sunbathing.
It was so big that they thought it would be easy to spot, but they still didn't even see the monster when they arrived in Acacia in half a day's trip.
As for how big the so-called 'big' is, even Jeno doesn't know.
"Jana, did you make a discovery?" Jeno asked.
Jana's long, floating hair swayed, symbolizing that she was sensing the unusual flow of air around her. After a moment, she shook her head, "It's still just the voice of the ordinary beasts. โ
"Fly further south and you'll definitely see it. It eats plants and animals along the way, and if we find something like a firebreak in the forest, we can surely find the monster by flying back. โ
Jeno told Cana to keep an eye on her surroundings while Sarah took control of the boat and continued to fly south.
After entering the miasma jungle, a feeling of suffocation came over me.
The ground was littered with solid rattan and thick-skinned vegetation that could not be cleaved, and the floating ship saved them from being unable to move forward, but the transpiring fog silently enveloped them.
They couldn't breathe airโonly a heavy, damp fog that stung them so much that they couldn't open their mouths or open their eyes.
"Beware of the miasma." Keen to detect the anomaly in the air, she saw that Sarah couldn't even touch the astrolabe, and immediately swept away the fog that shrouded the Abyss.
"Ascend height." Fearing hives on her delicate skin, Sarah manipulated the astrolabe to raise the ship and carry everyone to the upper end of the mist.
"It's not much better than drowning." She muttered.
Through the thick fog, the forest below had become hazy and impossible to see, and even if they were on the firebreak that the monster had gnawed on, they were now almost invisible.
Jana is sensitive to the flow of air, the air currents that can be disturbed by moving creatures, and if she were to search for a still pathway, she might not be able to find it.
A sense of worry haunted Jeno's mind, and he knew that the longer the void creatures active in the material realm dragged on, the more difficult it would be to solve them, and they had to be eliminated as soon as possible.
He couldn't wait any longer for the Abyss to aimlessly encounter the creature, so he returned to his room alone, took out the Blade of the Ruined King, slitted his wrist and used blood as a key, opening the door to the underworld.
The space opened like a zipper, and a black mist poured out from the other side of the portal, and the black mist was filled with the scent of flowers.
"Zyra, come out." Jeno stood outside the door and shouted at the black mist inside the door, not stepping into the underworld.
In a few moments, a dangerous and beautiful figure passed through the door and came to Jeno's room.
"My husband, you finally remember me."
Zyra became stronger after absorbing a large amount of black mist in the underworld, and she was very satisfied with Jeno's decision to throw her to the underworld to develop, so she called him husband rarely.
Caught off guard, Jeno got goosebumps.
"What about our good daughter?" Zyra looked around the unfamiliar room, looking for something familiar.
"Jenna is in Phi City, not here."
"And where is this?" Zyradai's eyebrows frowned slightly, although it was a little short since the last time, she thought that Jeno still asked her to come out to meet with Jenna this time.
It wasn't Jenna who took the initiative to ask for it, and this man didn't bother to look for her.
"Where can you still not feel this?" Jeno said.
Zyra closed her eyes to take a closer look, and after a moment, her furrowed brow furrowed and then raised.
"It's ...... Southern rainforests? She confirmed in surprise. The southern rainforest is her birthplace, and she is as excited as her daughter-in-law has returned to her parents' home.
The emotions of the spirit of nature would manifest themselves from elsewhere, and the intense floral fragrance emanated from her, filling the room with fragrance.
Unlike pungent perfumes, Jeno doesn't reject natural floral scents, but he can't keep Zyra happy, which will affect the rest of the ship, and it wouldn't be good if someone had pollen allergies. Zyra is his nameless wife, and it's best to take care of it.
"Don't be too happy, do me a favor, or you won't be able to go back to the underworld."
The door is immediately closed by Jeno after Zyra comes out, and he uses this to blackmail Zyra into helping.
"Help what?" Zyra was displeased.
"A void creature is eating at your garden, but it's shrouded in mist, and I need you to help me find it." Jeno said.
The southern jungle of the entire Shurima Continent, whether it is Kumangu in the north or the Miasma Jungle in the south, is the territory of Jiena. As long as she wanted, all the plants in this vast jungle could be turned into her eyeliner, and it was the quickest way for Zyra to find it for her.
"I want it dead!" Suddenly, earthworm-like green tendons crept up Zyra's face, and her crimson hair twitched and danced as if she had come to life.
She hates it when alien creatures intrude into her garden, and she can't tolerate the destruction of its ecological balance! The reason why she didn't harm the native animals that live in the forest is only because it is the fertilizer that she has scientifically raised.
"It's rare that we have the same purpose." Jeno nodded, and walked to the deck with Zyra, "Let's go outside and get to know everyone first." โ
"Come over here and introduce you to a temporary companion."
After three days, a new companion joined, which made several people full of curiosity.
Why join at such a time?
The boat never stopped, how did she get to the ship?
They have a lot of questions to ask.
"This is Zyra, the spirit of nature, she's the master of the jungle beneath our feet, and I asked her to help us find out where the monster is."
Suddenly being replaced by someone who is better than herself, Cana feels a little uncomfortable, but the stakes are high, and she understands Jeno's anxious feelings.
She looked at Zyra and saw that they had tested each other before, just as the vegetation had invaded Phi City.
I didn't expect that the former enemy would be able to be resolved one day, and there was such a thing as fate, and Cana couldn't help but secretly marvel at it.
Obviously, everyone else could tell from some of the special features on Zyra's body that she was not human, but some kind of predatory creature that was more powerful than humans.
Moreover, the other party's refusal to be thousands of miles away and the thorns wrapped around his arms dispelled their intention to go up and shake hands with him and ask. Everyone nodded their heads in a formal manner, wisely keeping their distance from their new companions.
"What do you mean temporary?" Jana asked.
"Zyra is only here to help us, and she's about to leave the boat when she gets out of the forest."
Zyra didn't actually say any of these things, it was all Jeno's arrangement. The Void is very salinized, and it is difficult for Zyra to grow plants there, and it will only become a liability. So after being drained of value on Forest's home field, it was time for Zyra to leave.
"Stop talking nonsense, let me go." Standing on the floating deck, Zyra brutally interrupted Jeno's words.
Rather than wasting time listening to Jeno and these high-grade fertilizers, it is better for her to return to the arms of Mother Earth sooner. Only by being tightly connected to the roots of all things can she find the damn monster as quickly as possible.
