"Qi Ning'an, look, those plants are so strange, the rhizomes are not in the mud, but they can grow, and they are quite beautiful...."

Doudou pointed to a large cluster of pink striped plants in the distance, and was surprised

Qi Ning'an took a closer look and was quite surprised: "It's an iron orchid, it can live by absorbing water from the leaves, I think this kind of plant is only available in the human world?" I didn't expect it to be here."

And no less!

Qi Ning'an raised his eyes and looked into the distance, they were now in a narrow valley, with gray and black rocks on both sides, and iron orchids of different colors were growing in front of them and beyond

Lu Kongkong looked at the sky, it had been a few hours since he set off from the Heng Realm, and Doudou was like a curious baby all the way, constantly asking this and that, full of energy

Qi Ning'an is very patient and knows a lot, no matter what Doudou asks, he can always answer, on the other hand, in the air, in addition to being vigilant about the surrounding environment, there is nothing but silence along the way

He was not dissatisfied with the closeness of Doudou and Qi Ning'an, because he knew very well that both Doudou and Qi Ning'an regarded each other as relatives

"Tired or not? Would you like to take a break? ”

Seeing that Qi Ning'an stopped, Lu Kongkong wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked

Qi Ningan shook his head: "I'm not tired, I just feel a little strange."

"Strange? What do you mean...... Iron...... Is iron what flower strange? ”

Doudou, who was running in front, heard Qi Ning'an's words, turned around and ran back, and touched his chin seriously, as if he had an understanding: "Well, I also think it's a little strange, how can there be plants that can grow without even soil?" ”

Qi Ning'an smiled: "I didn't mean this"

"What's that? What do you think is strange? ”

Lu Kongkong was also the first time to come to the south of the vast continent, and he was very unfamiliar with everything, Ning An's intuition had always been very accurate, and he believed that she would not be untargeted

"Although iron orchids do not need soil, they can survive by absorbing water from their leaves, but they reproduce very slowly, if there is no artificial division, it is difficult to grow to such a large cluster, I see that the iron orchids here, the large ones, the growth time is only one or two years, normally, it is impossible to grow so fast"

Qi Ning'an approached the rock wall, reached out and took down an iron orchid, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and confirmed his speculation even more: "That's right, this is definitely not a natural reproduction."

"You mean, there's humans living around here?"

Lu Kongkong looked around, except for the high rocky mountains and a few trees, and some weeds, he couldn't see any place to live at all.

"I don't know if there are any people living there, but I am sure that these iron orchids have been deliberately divided, and the time of dividing is within the last month or two."

Qi Ning'an put the iron orchid in his hand back into the rock crevice, and continued: "The gray-white hairy scales on the leaf surface have not completely faded, which means that the time for the iron orchid to divide will not exceed two months."

Doudou was a little confused: "This ...... Can you see the length of time for branching? ”

"Of course, the iron orchid is a very common plant in the human world, and many people like to put a few plants at home, and add other decorations to make it pleasing to the eye."

Qi Ning'an also liked this plant very much when he was young, and he also specialized in learning the maintenance knowledge of iron orchids, so he knew better

Lu Kongkong is more concerned about whether there have really been humans here in the last month or two.

According to Yiyi, after his father disappeared, only Yan Lao came to the south, and the other walkers should not have come here, but the time when Yan Lao came here was at least more than a year ago, who would be the human who passed or stayed here recently?

Doudou suddenly burst out of a sentence: "Could those people who are strains of flowers be people from the human world?" ”

Qi Ning'an's heart suddenly beat wildly: "Will ...... Will it? Here, however, is 108,000 miles away from the original place of the human realm."

"I'm guessing too, you just didn't say it to me, don't think too much"

Doudou gave himself a slap in the face, is it really a pot that can't be opened, I don't know if Qi Ning'an has always wanted to find the human world? I still want to mention this stubble

"Let's split up around here and see if there's any clues?"

Lu Kongkong took a few steps forward, and then turned around and told Qi Ning'an: "Be careful, I don't know if the other party is your own person or a betrayer."

Qi Ning'an nodded, pulled Doudou over and said, "Doudou follows me, he will be in trouble if he gets lost"

"Half an hour later, whether found or not, converge at the end of the valley"

After Lu Kongkong finished speaking, he clasped the rock crack on the left with one hand, and with a light tap of his toes, he jumped a few steps on the rock before disappearing behind a large rock

Qi Ning'an glanced at Doudou and deliberately told him to follow closely behind and climb up the rock wall on the right

When people look at the sides of the canyon, they only feel that the rock wall is smooth and flat, but it is not

When Lu Kongkong turned behind the rocks, he was surprised to find that there was no cave here

He glanced back at the canyon behind him, and then at the green grassy slopes and the lush woods below them, feeling a little incredible

It's just a stone wall, can it be so far apart?

He slowed down, cautiously surveyed his surroundings, and then walked towards the woods beneath the grassy slope

But before he reached the edge of the woods, several sharp arrows suddenly flew out from behind the big tree in front of him, and they went straight to his face

He dodged, dodged it, and then shouted, "Who? ”

There was silence in the woods, as if the arrow had been nothing more than a hallucination

Lu Kongkong stopped and listened intently, but found nothing

"I'm Captain Lu Shiyi from the Heng Realm, are you from a small world nearby?"

There was still no movement in the woods

Lu Kongkong took a step forward, and several sharp arrows came towards the position of his heart this time, different from the warning just now, this time it was determined to kill him

Lu Kongkong was a little annoyed, took out the big knife from Nayu, cut off the arrows, and walked lightly, and instantly floated in front of the big tree that shot the arrows

It's just that the back of the tree is empty, where does it look like there is a person?

Lu Kongkong searched around again, but there was still no one to be seen, except for the few arrows left on the ground, the whole forest seemed to have never been set foot on

Just as he was puzzled, a crisp creak came from a few hundred meters in front of the woods

Lu Kongkong reacted immediately, and the whole person ejected out and rushed forward

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'm a human in the Gazani realm, our small world was attacked by creatures, I escaped by luck and lived here, not with the intention of going against adults"

A lean man in his forties fell to his knees tremblingly, his head pressed against the ground, for fear that Lu Kong would drop with his empty hand and kill him with a knife

"Look up, I ask you to answer, if there is concealment or deception, you are welcome"

The lean man immediately raised his head, his face dirty, the goatee on his chin was messy, his clothes were covered with mud, and he held a wooden bow in his hand, and the quiver behind his back was empty, presumably he had just used up the arrow

The man frowned when he saw Lu Kongkong looking at him, and quickly lowered his head again, begging bitterly: "My lord, I really didn't mean to offend, I was too hungry just now, I thought that after I shot you, I could grab some food, but I didn't expect to be so hungry that the arrows missed the ......."

"You're lying!"

Lu Kongkong said lightly, and then put the knife on the man's neck: "The arrow is not only very accurate, but also full of strength, the first time is a warning, the second time wants to take my life, this is all a fact, you can't fool me"

The man's body stiffened, and the hand that was propped up on the ground clenched into a fist suddenly, but it was released at once, perhaps knowing that he was not the opponent of Lu Kongkong, he was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, you killed me."

"I don't want to kill anyone, I just want to know, who are you and why are you here?"

Lu Kongkong lifted the hem of his shirt, sat down cross-legged, and then withdrew the knife from the man's neck and put it into Nayu

The man watched the big knife in Lu Kong's empty hand disappear out of thin air in front of his eyes, and there was a trace of horror in his eyes

"Still reluctant to say? You should know that the people in the Heng Realm are patrolling various small worlds, and the Gazani Realm you are talking about, as far as I know, is at least dozens of kilometers away from here, when and how did you come here alone? ”

The man obviously didn't expect Lu Kongkong to know so much about the south, a touch of panic flashed across his face, and he said hesitantly: "I.... Indeed, I am a man of Gazanis,....."

"And when and why did you come here alone?"

Lu Kongkong asked sharply: "Be honest, answer me!" ”

"I.... I....... It's three...... Three months, no, to be exact, I came here with my daughter three and a half months ago."

Lu Kongkong was stunned for a moment: "And your daughter?" ”

"Yes, my daughter!"

The man stepped out, raised his head and said loudly: "A few months ago, our Gazani realm was besieged by a group of white-clothed people, the realm keepers and the realm guards were all killed in battle, and the rest of the people fled, died, and those white-clothed people wanted to snatch my daughter to do a spiritual seed test, I overheard that all those who did the spiritual seed test were either dead or injured, and they couldn't bear to let their daughter suffer like this, so they took her all the way to escape....."

As he spoke, his eyes were red: "I have been told by the Walker who has patrolled before that the Heng Boundary is in the north of the Gazani Realm, and it will take nearly 100 kilometers to reach it, I thought that as long as we reach the Heng Boundary, our father and daughter will be saved, but I didn't expect that I encountered a few groups of fierce beasts along the way, and my daughter was seriously injured and had to stop....."

"What about your daughter? Where are people now? ”

Although there are still doubts about the man's words, Lu Kongkong still chooses to believe his statement for the time being, whether it is true or false, just know it when you see his so-called seriously injured daughter, isn't it?

When the man heard this, he became anxious, and kept kowtowing to Lu Kongkong and begging: "Please, my lord, it's wrong for me to offend you, kill if you want to, let my daughter go....."

"Don't worry, if what you say is true, I won't kill anyone"

Lu Kongkong stood up, looked at the man condescendingly, and said coldly: "But if what you say is false, I will never give you a third chance to lie to me!" ”
