Chapter 454: The Forgotten Land (I)

It can be seen that the battle is over, and now the two sides are in a state of chasing and running. The people in front of them ran in a panic, trying to escape the threat of death. The people behind shouted loudly and waved the weapons in their hands to chase forward, and the good ones who were not dead, Rhodes and the others just happened to be in their way.

At the same time, the group of people who climbed over the hill also saw these "uninvited guests" in front of them, and after seeing each other clearly, both sides were stunned. Even Rod was taken aback and stared at the ............... in front of him in amazement Person.

True, Rhodes even doubted that they were human.

Although the other party looks like a human in appearance, with hands and feet, a head and no tail. But other than that, there is no resemblance. They are very tall and the shortest is two meters. And the arms are very long, reaching up to the knees, giving Rhodes the feeling of a hairless gibbon. Not only that, but these "people" are also dressed in strange and even primitive clothes, most of them are wearing only an armor-like garment made of unrecognizable animal skin, and they are also holding thick clubs in their hands. For a moment, Rhodes even thought that he had traveled to a primitive society...............

Not only that, but the skin color of these people is also very strange, their skin color is dark black, and it does not look like the skin color of those colored people on the earth at least has a luster of life, their skin color is cloudy and weird, and even looks as if a layer of transparent skin is wrapped in a dark black liquid, which makes it impossible to look at directly.

And that's not all. If you look closely, Rhodes also found that these people's facial features are also very strange, and most of them have horns on their heads. However, unlike the sharp horns of devils or demons, they look more like the bones of animals. And the ears are also strange, and they look more like the monsters in the myths and legends of their own country, and they don't look like they don't change their personal shape.........

Although Rhodes also knew that he might not see normal people in this place, it was still unexpected for him to be so abnormal. So both sides couldn't help but be stunned for a while, but soon, those "people" who were being chased immediately reacted, and a person who looked like a leader shouted loudly. Then I saw that the deserters who were being chased immediately scattered and fled, looking completely like the remnants of the army were defeated and panicked, and soon dozens of scarred "people" scattered in all directions. Running in all directions.

And the pursuers who were in hot pursuit did not continue to chase those losers at this time, on the contrary, Rod saw the man in the lead raise the long sword that looked like it was made of stone, and shouted something. Then I saw the other party just like this and surrounded him and others!

I saw these "weirdos" surrounding me. Rod snorted coldly, didn't say anything, but turned his head away and gestured to the canary. After seeing Rod's gesture, the two girls nodded, and then they raised their hands almost like reflections in the mirror, only to see that with the movements of the two people, the hot wall of fire "whirred" from the ground. It twisted and spread, forming a barrier that blocked the way of the weirdos. And I saw this wall of fire that suddenly appeared. The weirdos also shouted, and began to retreat in a panic. But soon, I saw that the strange man in the lead shouted something, and then the soldiers who had been hurriedly retreating because they saw the sudden appearance of the wall of fire quickly stopped. But even so, they still looked at the wall of fire in front of them with horror, unwilling to go any further. This apparently aroused the displeasure of the chief, who raised the stone sword in his hand and shouted a few words. Soon, several more burly figures came out from behind.

No, these can't be considered human anymore, no matter how Rod looks at it, it's like a gorilla like King Kong in the movie! They are four or five meters tall and full of muscles, with each gorilla holding a huge rock in his hand. They raised their hands high at the leader's order, and then threw the stones in their hands towards Rhodes and the others!

The slabs were the size of a millstone disc, and they were so fast that Rhodes could even hear the wind whistling from above. If it's an ordinary person, I'm afraid there is no other way out than to be smashed into meat sauce. However, for Rhodes and others, such a "rough" attack obviously could not do anything. Before Rod could speak, the little bubblegum sneered and stretched out his hand to point forward, and then the golden light flickered and condensed to form an incomparably hard barrier above everyone's heads, and then only heard a few loud noises of "Peng Peng", and those huge stones smashed on the guardian barrier, and then flew to the side, not even a single hair of Rod was injured.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers in front seemed to be even more frightened, and they slowly began to retreat. And the man in the middle, who looked like the leader, stretched out his hand and pointed at Rod and them, although Rod couldn't understand what the other party was saying, but by looking at his expression, he knew that it must not be a good word.

"Hmph."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Rod snorted coldly, and then the next moment, the long sword in his hand suddenly slashed through the air, and then he saw a dazzling brilliance suddenly erupt, and then, with the sound of screams, the leader who was still showing off his might just now suddenly covered his face and fell to the ground. His body writhed and struggled, and dark blood spurted out of the wound and spilled all over the ground. Seeing this scene in front of him, Rhodes raised his eyebrows in a little surprise, no wonder, although Rhodes' blow just now did not use all his strength, but if it was in the Dragon Soul Continent, it would be absolutely impossible for a person without a soul barrier to protect him to take his sword, according to Rhodes's idea, this sword was enough to split the other party in two from the middle, but he didn't expect these monsters to be so thick-skinned, and they actually resisted their own attacks like this?

What the hell is this?

Although Rhodes was puzzled, those "weirdos" didn't think so much. On the contrary, after seeing their leader slashed to the ground by Rhodes's sword, these people immediately screamed like a frying pan and turned to run. It didn't take long to run, and there was not even a shadow left. Even the unlucky guy who was cut down by Rhodes' sword disappeared at this time, and the surrounding wilderness regained its calm just now. There was nothing but the breeze and dust whistling over the fields -- even one wondered if what they had just seen was an illusion.

"What the hell was that?"

It wasn't until a moment later that Little Bubblegum asked with wide eyes and surprise. It's no wonder, not to mention a little bubble gum, most people haven't reacted to what happened just now! From the time those people met Rhodes and then Rhodes attacked and scared these guys away, it only added up to a few minutes. In the blink of an eye, the wilderness in front of me returned to its usual tranquility. This gives people the feeling of watching a group of dead people suddenly run onto the stage, and then yell and perform a completely inexplicable play, and then go off the stage, but before the audience can figure out where this song is, the people on the stage have all withdrawn. It's a really good feeling......... It's amazing.

"Probably the aborigines here, it has nothing to do with us, keep going, we still have a long way to go."

Rod shook his head. Quickly put the matter aside. If the other party looks like a normal person. Then Rhodes may also bring up his interest and communicate with the other party. However, looking at the group of beings in front of him who seemed to have not fully evolved in the form of primitive people, Rhodes didn't bother to deal with each other. He wasn't a biologist or a historian, and he didn't like this kind of monster that couldn't even speak completely and was too ugly to look at. So soon, Rhodes put the matter behind him and led the group on.

Although in Rhodes' view, this is just a small episode, perhaps the only meaning is to prove to them that this land is not devoid of life. Unfortunately, not everyone thinks the same way.

Soon. Rhodes found out that they were being followed.

Saying "stalking" is all about lifting up the other person. Because that guy hung far behind like this, he didn't mean to hide his figure at all. Although the distance was very long, Rhodes could still see that the guy should be one of those "primitive people" who were beaten after the defeat before. However, Rod didn't pay attention to the other party's meaning at all, no matter what he wanted to do with him, Rod didn't care. The only thing he needed to do now was to find his way to the Seven Illusion Realm and return to the Dragon Soul Continent. As for these strange primitive people, they were completely out of his consideration.

The journey was not smooth, but it was smooth, except for the previous unexpected encounter, Rod and the others never saw other life forms related to this world. There are no animals or plants, and there are no lakes or rivers to be seen. It's just that what makes Rod feel helpless is that although they have been walking for a whole day, the distance between them and the huge white cylindrical tower has only shortened a little, which makes Rod can't help but wonder if he has made a wrong choice.

Although Irene once said that she could turn into a dragon and take the others away, Maribel objected to this, not only that, but she also warned Irene and Lydia not to use too much power here, although this is the gap between chaos and order, but after the departure of the Five Dragons of Creation, the original balance of power here has been completely destroyed. If Irene and Lydia show the power and aura of their own order, they might immediately attract the attention of Chaos. If such a thing happened far away from the Dragon Soul Continent, then it would definitely be a big trouble for everyone. So there was no choice but to keep going.

Although there is no sun and moon in this world, there seems to be a difference between day and night, and as time passes, the light curtain above everyone's heads gradually dims, and the world in front of them begins to become darker and darker. To be on the safe side, Rhodes and the others had no choice but to stop and find a leeward and gentle place to rest.

It didn't take long for the sky to get dark.

No, it should be said that it was as if the lights were turned off in the room, and with the complete disappearance of the light, the world in front of me was completely shrouded in darkness that could not be reached. Rhodes just stood on the hillside, staring at the darkness in front of himβ€”the darkness was so intense. So much so that even the glow of the flames could barely illuminate the area in front of them. Fortunately, however, under the darkness, the huge cylindrical tower in the distance exuded a soft light. It's like a beacon in the dark, showing everyone the way forward.

At this moment, there was a soft footstep behind Rod, and then a young girl walked quietly to his side.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦ This is a different world, and it's a very strange place. ”

"Aren't you going to rest? I've been walking all day today, and I'm already tired. ”

Looking at the figure of the canary. Rod couldn't help asking. To be honest, although the canary has become two people now, Rhodes can still tell the difference between the original and the projection very well. Perhaps because of the pain, the canary's body always has a sad and mature temperament. On the contrary, it is the two secondary bubbles that really look like a pair of sisters, and sometimes even Rhodes can't tell who is who.

Although they have made up their minds to leave Earth with Rhodes, and they have also gained considerable strength because of the power resonance with the projection. But at heart, they're still ordinary human beings. I was already exhausted after walking for such a long time. In fact, little bubblegum didn't even eat dinner just now. He rushed into the tent and fell asleep. As for security............... Thinking of this, Rhodes glanced at the magic runes that were shining all around, at least these were enough to keep them safe.

"I'm fine, Rod."

Hearing Rod's inquiry, the canary smiled and nodded at him, and then she looked up again, looking at the dark world ahead. Then, with a long sigh.

"Let's be honest. I don't even know if I'm dreaming or if I'm in reality. I've never traveled before. But now, instead of leaving the earth, I have even left the world that I am familiar with, and I have come to a land that is completely alien to me........."

Saying this, the canary couldn't help but stretch out his hands to wrap around his body. Although she was also tired, it was precisely because of this that everything in front of her brought her deeper memories. Whether it was the earth or the sky, everything here was so strange when she looked at it, and the intense feeling made her forget her fatigue for a while.

Seeing the canary's expression, Rod didn't say anything, but reached out and gently stroked the girl's hair. How could he not understand the canary's thoughts? Even Rhodes himself was not the first time to make a similar exclamation, every time he stood in the window of his room and looked out, he saw not the high-rise buildings he was familiar with, the cobweb-like highway and speeding cars. Rather, when it came to houses made of wood and stone, roads paved with bluestone slabs, and carriages on them, Rhodes had a similar idea.

Which is the real world, the world in memory or the world I am in now? Which is the world that proves that it has existed and will always exist?

This may be a question that will never be solved. But fortunately, as long as the Dragon Soul Continent is transferred to the solar system, then for Rod, this problem that bothers him can be solved at least halfway.

"Anyway, now that you're by my side, that's enough."

Gently hugging the girl's shoulders, Rod took the canary into his arms. Hearing Rod's answer, the corners of the canary's mouth curled slightly, and then she closed her eyes like this and hugged the man in front of her with her backhand. Leaning into Rod's arms and feeling that warmth, this is the only thing she has sought since she came into this world. Now she has nothing, the only thing left and pursued is in front of her. Nothing could be more important to the canary.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦ It looks like you're a lot stronger than you used to be, Rod. I can't tell it from the outside........."

"Maybe it's because I haven't been leisurely."

Hearing the canary's words, Rod smiled bitterly. Originally, before the crossing, his body was only the level of a healthy ordinary person. But after coming to this world, not to mention the changes in the values themselves, just from my own experience, after so many battles, my body must have been more or less exercised. It is impossible to come and go in the wind and rain all day and be as fat as a pig.

Hearing Rod's answer, the canary didn't say much, and it wasn't until a moment later that she raised her head, her eyes playful, and looked at the man in front of her with a playful look. I don't know why, the moment he noticed the canary's gaze, Rod sensed that something not so good was about to happen............... Sure enough, soon, he heard the canary talking.

"Rhodes............ I heard another one of you, you seem to have several girlfriends in this world......... Don't you have anything to say to me about that? Like Miss Marlene? Miss Lijie? And Miss Anne? What kind of people are they? I'm very curious about this, right? ”

"Uh....................."

Hearing this, Rhodes suddenly found that perhaps he had more troublesome problems to solve before returning to the Dragon Soul Continent. (To be continued......)
