Chapter 96: The Silent Voice
In order to find those who had hidden their traces, the Streamers had to come out of their inaccessible hideouts and split up to search for them. However, in order to avoid causing panic among the Lepeilian people, they still could not easily appear in the Leipelian people's field of vision, and could only search in a more secretive way.
Of the three form groups of Sylwions, Velochs, and Smogs, the Sylven forms are the most difficult to steal, so the task of searching for the people falls primarily to the Velocis and Smogs. But even so, it would be impossible for the Veloch and Smog to all of them, as that would be too conspicuous and attract the attention of the Lepelians too soon, and it would be a great obstacle to the Streamer's return to their homeland. The most important reason, of course, is not wanting to provoke a war. The Lepeilian people are unreasonable, they will never believe that the aliens have reappeared in large numbers to leave this place, they will only think that the aliens are not dead and want to invade again.
Therefore, Sylven and most of the Veloch and Smog people continued to wait in the Devil's Forest. At present, only a few people have temporarily left there, scattered and searched according to their past memories, after all, after thousands of years, the hiding place of the clansmen has changed several times, and the environment and landform of the Eastern Continent have long since disappeared. Moye and Chimo, who are from the Rysersi, did not stay in the Devil's Forest and took the initiative to ask the priest to go out to explore. It was precisely because the external form of the demon field was similar to that of the Lepeilian people that it might be easier to move, so the priest did not object.
On the day of departure, Miku Sukarana came to Mono and said that he also wanted to travel together. After all, he decided to return to the Eastern Continent in the first place in order to re-understand the world in order to build a new future, and if he had been shrinking into the safety of the Devil's Forest, he would probably not see anything. Moreover, during this time, their life in the Devil's Forest has gradually stabilized. Later, although there were more than a dozen more people, Jianing City was taken care of by Mo Di, Sang Wu, Kama and Yan Shu, so there should be no problem. They have experienced many things together, and they have already established a common goal in their hearts, and they will do their best to make Jianing City develop in the direction of peace and tranquility. Besides, as far as the current population of Jianing City is concerned, it will not be so easy to deviate from the right path, and there should be nothing to worry about after leaving for a few days.
Therefore, before leaving, the future simply instructed a few partners that if there was any unexpected crisis in Jianing City, when it was a last resort, they would go to the streamer people for help. Then, he set off with Moye.
The Devil's Forest is located between Naborland and Sambiland, right at the intersection of the two countries' north-south borders. The place where Moye and Future are going is Sambiland, which is located in the south of the Devil's Forest. Because Moye has no ability to fly, and his walking speed is not as fast as that of the Smog, who can walk by the wind, the priest arranged for him to go to Sambiland, the closest to the Devil's Forest, to find another form group, the Boulders.
According to the priest of Smog, the only suitable place for the Boulders to live in the Eastern Continent should be Sambiland, where the water and soil are humid all year round. Moreover, the Boulders, like all other streamers, will also choose the mountains and forests far away from the Lepelian settlement as a habitat, but fortunately, there is only one alpine woodland in the territory of Sambiland, so the destination of Moye's trip is very clear.
With Chi Mo's flying ability, Moye and Future were able to walk a little less, but because Chi Mo's destination was different from theirs, after separating from Chi Mo, the two began to walk. Try to avoid crowded places on the way, but the future is not a streamer after all, and there is no way to survive on light and water like them. Therefore, whenever he passed by a town or village, he would ask Mono to wait for him in a hidden place on the outskirts, and then go into the city himself, exchange his belongings for some food from the locals, and ask for directions by the way, and then learn about the local situation. These belongings were handed over to him by Shi Jiayan when he left the Western Continent, and he had never had the opportunity to use them before, but this time he came to Sambiland to help a lot.
The Boulders are an extremely precious group among the Streamers, as they have perfectly inherited the blood of the Tree of Life. In other words, the blood in their bodies is exactly the same as the blood of the sacred tree of life on the Streamer Star. As a result, they possess the ability to regenerate more quickly than any other entity of the Streamers. No matter how much damage their bodies have sustained, they are able to regenerate intact without leaving a trace.
The Boulders possess a super-healing power. The flesh and blood on their bodies can be used to repair any damage on the bodies of other entity forms of the Streamer Clan, and allow them to recover quickly to their original perfect state. But the Boulders are extremely sensitive, and they are able to feel all the pain of the wounded deeply in their souls, and they can fully empathize with them.
The Boulders, however, could not make ordinary audible sounds. Because they do not have the organs to emit ordinary audible sounds, they communicate with their people through consciousness induction. But they have a rich and sensitive sensory organ, which is those hair-like antennae from the head to the waist. Within a certain range, the Boulders can transmit their consciousness directly to the souls of other clansmen, and can also read the consciousness of the other party, so the Boulders don't actually need the ear. Of course, like other forms, they also have the ability to send and receive infrasound, but reading consciousness and infrasound are two completely different abilities. In fact, to the Streamers, the Boulders are not a group that cannot speak, they have a voice, but it is not an ordinary audible voice, but a soul voice.
Although the Boulders are an amphibious group of the Streamers, they are very sensitive and extremely demanding in order to survive. They can't survive in a dirty environment, and the world's oceans are not suitable, so they have to choose clean natural water sources on land, far from people, or mountain forests with warm climates and lush vegetation. However, in terms of the current environmental situation in the eastern continent, there are fewer and fewer places with these natural conditions.
Along the way, the future found that Sambiland has a mild climate, moist and fertile soil and water, but abandoned arable land can be seen everywhere, and the people are lazy and hardworking, which is really regrettable. In order to catch up with the pace of Moye, he honed himself again, and now he is indeed stronger than before. But it wasn't enough, he knew that he was far inferior to Assi, and with his current strength, it was not enough to protect Jianing City, let alone protect important things, so he had to become stronger......
When the future was secretly exerting himself, Moye, who was speeding in front of him, suddenly stopped, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and quickly asked, "Why don't you leave?"
I saw that Mono was motionless, as if he was listening to something, his expression was very focused, and he said with some confusion: "It seems that the Boulder are asking for help......
"Did you hear anything?" asked Future.
"No, exactly...... The voice sounded from my soul. "Although Moye has never met the Boulders, through the guidance of the priest, he now has all the survival skills that a streamer should have, and whether it is his soul or body, he is accustomed to the identity and survival method of the streamer. Realizing that he might be the only one within the Boulder's senses, he decided to speed up his way there. The Border seemed to read the response from his consciousness at the same time, and the mysterious voice vanished from his soul.
They didn't dare to delay the rest of the journey. The sense of urgency sensed by the interdependence of the soul made the demon ambition anxious, and without thinking, he grabbed the hand of the future and dragged him all the way away. Due to the difference in size and strength between the two, this rapid dragging method is very hard for the future, but the situation of the Boulders does not seem to allow for the slightest delay, and Mono has no other way for a while, so he simply grabs the future and strides over the steep mountain wall, and the rapid ups and downs make the future not even have time to feel the fright, and his mind is blank all the way.
The cave was located on a slope halfway up the mountain, and the limited space outside the cave gate could not accommodate a thousand people, so he had to leave most of his soldiers at the bottom of the mountain and wait for the deployment, bringing only about a hundred men with him. After they cleared all the vines at the entrance of the cave, they went deep into the cave with Gumo.
The soldiers lit the cave red with torches, and the smoking heat continued to rise, causing fireflies to fall like stars clinging to the top of the cave walls......
"How can there be so many bugs in the hole?
"It's disgusting! The bugs are all falling. ”
"Walk, walk, trample them to death......"
The soldiers rushed into the deep cave with torches and curses, and no one cared about the little lives that had quietly fallen.
Finally arriving at the dark lake, Gumo tried to stand by the water and shouted a few times towards the lake, as he had done before. Their plan was for the beast to surface as soon as it surfaced, and the soldiers of Kora would immediately cast their nets and catch it. If it resists, stab it with a bow or arrow or a long weapon to make it lose its ability to resist, and its wounds heal quickly anyway, so it doesn't matter if you get a little wounded, as long as the blood doesn't run out. But what Gumo didn't expect was that this time, no matter how he shouted, the bottom of the lake was still dark and motionless.
Kela impatiently urged him to hurry up and find a way, Gu Mo was secretly anxious, and couldn't help but speculate: "The first time it seems to be because my blood flowed into the water, and then it suddenly appeared, could it be that the strange beast is bloodthirsty......"
Hearing this, Kora's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Since it was your blood that led it out before, then you can put some blood in it and try it." ”
"Let's let my blood go, how can this be?" Gu Mo said in a dazzled voice, "I don't think it will necessarily be useful to let my blood go and let it go, and then I just shouted a few times and it appeared." Maybe it can't be heard in the depths today, so I'll shout louder and try it. ”
"Hmph, you haven't moved for a long time, so don't waste any more time. It's just a little blood, and it won't kill you. He turned to the soldier next to him and ordered, "Come on, cut some blood for him and put it in the water." ”
The two soldiers immediately restrained Gumo and forcibly slashed his palm, and before Gumo could cry out in pain, warm blood dripped down his wound into the lake.
But after a while, there was still no movement in the lake, and Kela couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that there is less blood?" This lake is a bit big, and the bottom is dark, and it is estimated that it is very deep, and if there is too little blood, I am afraid that it will not flow to the bottom of the lake, so I can put more blood in it and have a look......
Gu Mo was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he crawled to Kola's feet in a panic, hugged Kola's legs and begged: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, if you cut blood again, my hands will be wasted......"
Kela kicked Gu Mo away, his face full of disgust: "Hmph, isn't it just to make you bleed? It's a bargain compared to a big box of treasure, isn't it? Otherwise, even if you work hard all your life and get rid of your hands, you will end up just a poor pauper." You should thank me for rewarding you with an easy opportunity to get rich!"
Ignoring Kumo's weeping pleas, Kora asked the soldiers to continue bleeding on Gumo's body. However, no matter how much blood they put into the lake, there was still no movement at the bottom of the lake. Kra finally loses his patience and begins to wonder if Gummo is tricking him, so he threatens to kill Gummore and throw him into the lake. Gumo fell to his knees and pleaded, swearing that what he said was true, repeatedly emphasizing that the blood of the beast could not only heal any injury, but also prolong life and immortality......
The temptation of "immortality" once again dominated his mind, easily dispelled all his doubts, and made him completely forget the sick beauty in the palace, and began to fantasize about how wonderful it would be if he could enjoy the glory and wealth of immortality. For this reason, Kora decided to force out the strange beasts at the bottom of the lake no matter what.
Many more attempts were made, but to no avail. In a fit of rage, he ordered the soldiers to go to the mountain to collect a large amount of fallen leaves and dry firewood, fill the cave with these flammable materials, and then light a fire from the entrance of the cave, and the scorching smoke instantly dried the water droplets on the cave wall, and the fire quickly spread to the entire cave.
Standing outside the cave, he excitedly pointed to the raging fire in the cave, and said with a smug smile: "Hmph! I don't believe it, I can't force that strange beast like this, hahaha......"
