Chapter 204: Earth City [Asking for a Monthly Pass and Asking for a Subscription]
There are land and water routes from the town of Usa to the Bunazik Desert.
The overland route is through the towns of Neil, Hatig, and then through an area of "Stone Wilderness", passing through a city called "Meroy", and then entering the northern part of the desert. If it's fast, it's about a month, and the road is long, but relatively safe.
The waterway runs west from the River Skye, crosses the Lelian Mountains, and leads directly from the river to the eastern part of the desert. It only takes about ten days if it's fast, but the road has many unknown dangers, especially a section of the river that passes through the grasslands, and passing merchant ships are often attacked by the Osalans.
In order to be in a hurry, Gu Jun chose the waterway.
When he left the town of Usa, he still had a lot of questions.
He wanted to go to Hatig-Kola Mountain to see the mysterious seal on the top of the mountain, and wanted to learn more about the dream world from Attar or the Ancestor. But going back to the Earth World is the first priority, and more knowledge may make it impossible for him to leave, so he deliberately does not want to understand.
As for what those holy relics were, the peacock refused to say, but said, "You'll know when you get there." "It seems to be just to trick him into the past.
The vines on his feet, the ancestors said were plants called "devouring vines", which could be integrated with flesh and blood creatures.
The kind of ancestor mastered is mild, in the eastern continent of the Devouring vine Forest, it is called ferocious, where the vines capture all kinds of passing creatures, human beings are the most, some people are still conscious, but they can only grow there and can't move.
Biologically this shouldn't happen, but it's a dream world, and here's the law.
"These gentle vines are part of your body." Old Ancestor said, "Actually, you can control them, don't believe you try." ”
Gu Jun made this attempt, gathered his spirits, and was indeed able to control them to swing, and the vines were like more limbs.
It seems...... It's kind of useful in a way. But he knew that this thing was also eroding and changing him, and that structure determines function, and perhaps human nature.
So he still asked the ancestors to remove it for him. The ancestors each asked him to take a medicinal wine called "Retreat Vine Wine", saying that after drinking this wine for a few days, the devouring vine in his body could naturally die, and there was no need to hurt his muscles and bones.
Gu Jun took this plan, but asked the ancestors to accompany him and take this wine for five consecutive days. I did animal experiments, and then human experiments with peacocks, but nothing happened, and I started taking it myself.
"Mr. Nightmares, I'm honored to test the medicine for you." The peacock volunteered, and did not hide his thoughts: "I only hope that my small service can make you feel more good about our clan." ”
She was different from Mo Qing, Mo Qing still had a kind of stubbornness, and she didn't say much.
Peacock is the kind of person who is willing to give everything, and she will not back down even if she is humiliated.
Gu Jun respects such people very much, and has no ill will towards them, if there is a deliberate difficulty, it is just for the sake of temptation. He had never let his guard down, and these people could be some evil believers at any time, and they were leading him into a trap.
The tranquility of the three towns of Usa was a kind of accident, and as soon as the merchant ship they were on entered the Lelian Mountains, the environment suddenly turned bad.
The summit of Mount Leon is thunderous all year round, and the never-ending torrential rainforest washes over the pristine rainforest. On the seventh day, as the merchant ships approached the southwest, they saw the vast grassland, and the tall weeds blocked all vision, and the danger grew a hundredfold.
"When we were kids, we all thought about burning down the grassland so that no Osalam would come and disturb us."
The peacock talked about a small incident, "Adults say no, you can't burn it." But we don't believe it, if you look at these grasses, a little fire can burn into a sea of fire. ”
"Hmm." Gu Jun knew yes, it was already autumn, the weeds were turning yellow, extremely flammable, and there seemed to be no rain here.
"Then a few of us ......" the peacock shook his head and laughed a few times, "I, Mo Qing, as well as Jin Zhuzi and Shui Yu, we secretly ran out of the clan and walked for three days to the edge of this grassland, we set fire to it, and it burned so much...... It was really a sea of fire. When we went back, we were so happy that we didn't have to sleep. ”
She paused at this point, and her tone became lonely, "But the Osalam still came that year. ”
Gu Jun heard the silence, and after getting along these days, he could feel the truth of the other party's emotions more and more......
For the earth wanderers, he had asked the ancestors in front of the two peacocks.
"The Earth Wanderers are a bunch of weirdos." The sound of the old ancestor's slapping seemed a little incomprehensible, "We don't know about them. ”
Is there anything else that the ancestors don't understand? He asked the reason, and the ancestors said: "Their settlement is very secret, it is difficult to find, and even if you find it, you can't get close. ”
"Our tribe has always been heavily guarded." "With all due respect," explained Peacock, "no tribe would welcome a sneaky visit from Zugo. Otherwise, all our defensive strategies will be in the hands of the Osalan the next day. We have to guard against a single rat from slipping in. ”
"But you're too tight, aren't you?" The ancestors sighed with emotion, "But it's also the first time I've come to Bunazik, so this time I'll see how you can defend against it." ”
The peacock was right, Gu Jun felt that if he was the patriarch, he would have to get rid of these rats.
On the eighth day, after disembarking from the merchant ships at the mouth of the river, they turned to a camel caravan and sailed through the hot yellow desert.
It was more than two days away, and the closer they got to the clan settlement, the more nervous, expectant and enthusiastic the peacock and Mo Qing became, and their eyes were always bright.
Gu Jun also has this complicated mood, maybe even more complicated than them, what is the origin of this clan? The winds of change? Future? Parallel worlds?
After these ten days, he has basically believed that he can help as much as he can, as Peacock said, he and them are the same clan after all.
He couldn't figure out anything from the Codex Nackert, maybe those wise men with doctors could?
The afterglow of the setting sun shone brightly, the undulating yellow sand stretched as far as the eye could see, and the camels trabbled out a series of footprints, pulling the caravan forward.
"Look, Mr. Nightmares, there's it over there! Our Tinder City. At this time, the peacock said excitedly, suddenly saw something again, and shouted: "Little white sugar!" She introduced with a smile: "That little guy's name is Bai Sugar, our sister." ”
The peacock jumped out of the caravan vigorously and ran over, "Little White Sugar, go and inform the city, there is a VIP coming!" Of course there are gifts for you, bought in Dilas Lynn, you see. She took out a small dog puppet and handed it forward, "Here you go." ”
"Little white sugar!" Mo Qing, who was driving the caravan, also laughed, "The price of that pottery puppet is more expensive than a real dog." ”
They were elated, but inside the carriage, Gu Jun's heart had sunk into the abyss, staring at the surroundings......
There are no children in front. There are no ethnic towns ahead.
There weren't even a few ruins, just a small lake that was nearly dry, and a pile of rocks and weeds.
The peacock let go of her hand, and the puppy pottery puppet fell to the yellow sand, and she was still smiling: "Don't listen to Mo Qing, don't care about the price, you can just like it." ”
"What weirdos." The old ancestor who was also in the carriage said, "That's their settlement, but our ancestors have never been able to find anyone. ”
Said the robot Vali
