Chapter Seventy-Four: The Moonlit Woodland, the Lake in the Woodland
With surprise, Hao Shen and the others stepped from the scorching purgatory into the huge mushroom forest.
After crossing that well-defined border, there was a wave of moist and cool water vapor. The dry air and the pungent stench of sulphur behind him seemed to be an illusion for a moment, giving people an extremely strong sense of unreality. It's like when you pick up a piece of hot lamb while eating hot pot, and the whole stomach is sweaty and spicy in one bite, and the second taste becomes Häagen-Dazs. To sum it up, it's just five words: why are you kidding me?
Holding back this awkward feeling, Hao Shen carefully observed this mushroom forest.
This huge mushroom forest is in a state of tranquility, with undulating wet ground as far as the eye can see, and even stagnant water in potholes. The surface of the water is filled with green algae and emits a foul smell that only stagnant water can afford. There was no fresh earth to be seen on all the ground, but humus from the decaying remains of various plants that were home to all sorts of ferns and mosses, and occasionally strange mushrooms — huge mushrooms that had risen from the thick humus to prop up their huge umbrellas.
It was different from the dim but still slight glimmer of fire in the Scorched Land, and at a glance the entire swamp was shrouded in darkness, and it was almost impossible to see five fingers. But when the eye gets used to it, you will find that there is still some light here - that light comes from some special plants and fungi, which grow densely throughout the swamp, although the light is faint, but it accumulates a lot, and produces a fantastic and beautiful scene.
Hao Shen curiously walked under a big mushroom, reached out and touched the strain of the mushroom, only to feel that the tentacles were soft and cold, and with a slight force, he could feel a slippery mucus appear on his hand.
"Alive, they're all alive!" Ji Xi'e looked at it for a long time, and suddenly pulled out a short sword and cut it on a strain, and the wound suddenly shrank, and a transparent liquid flowed out.
"It's a miracle. On one side is the sea of fire, on the other side is Zeguo, alas, I really regret not bringing a camera, otherwise I can win a prize by taking a few pictures! Zhao Ran looked at the strange scene of this swamp with amazement.
"What's the prize?" Hao Shen asked curiously.
"Best PS Award! Do you think anyone would believe that this vision really exists? Zhao Ran rolled his eyes.
Hao Shen snorted twice, and then returned to the junction of the swamp and the scorching purgatory, where he went back and forth twice.
Elsa had been significantly better since she entered here, and after obtaining enough water element, her whole person seemed to be much more refreshed, and her thin body seemed to be full of strength. At this time, I saw Hao Shen studying there, and walked up and asked, "What's wrong?" Did you find anything? ”
"Well, it's a bit of a discovery." Hao Shen glanced up at Elsa, thought for a while, and explained in a way that the other party could understand: "Here, this dividing line seems to be a spatial dividing line...... Don't be surprised, I just tried it, and the two sides of this line are indeed not the same plane. Don't believe it......"
When it comes to research space, Hao Shen can only be regarded as a beginner. But he can't stand his strong information ability, and the two sides of this boundary exude completely different information, which is why the environment on the two sides is completely different but not affected by each other. In order to prove this, Hao Shen bent down and dug a few times under the dividing line, and soon dug a hole in the loose humus, and then Hao Shen dug diagonally from the bottom of the cave in the direction of Scorching Purgatory, and soon the length of the cave far exceeded the dividing line—but all that was dug out was large chunks of humus and mud.
“…… There is a barrier to the realm, or spatial barrier, that has always existed on the ground, and the only thing that can pass through it is light and moving objects, and the height is ......" Hao Shen raised his head and looked, patting the dirt on his hands as he spoke, and then pointed to the crimson clouds of Scorching Purgatory, "to the place close to that cloud." ”
“…… What does this mean? Elsa frowned and looked in the direction Hao Shen was pointing.
This shows that there may be a lot of spatial barriers in the space we are currently in. In other words, the space here may not be complete, this belongs to a gap space, do you understand the gap? It's the meaning of a spatial rift. All in all, you can understand that this is an aggregate of a lot of space debris. The aggregation of these space debris illustrates one thing - this is indeed the last place where the evil fire will exist! Whether Elsa understood it or not, Hao Shen said with some excitement.
From his point of view, the Evil Fire wasn't just a dangerous world, it was the culprit that had literally destroyed the world, well, at least three times. How terrifying it is to burn three huge universes into a single mass, leaving only this deformed planet to exist. But the fire of evil energy melts the world, and it can't be like a two-dimensional item like burning a piece of paper, it can be completed with a single fire, right, the system of the universe is a rather complex multi-dimensional world, in the burning of the fire of evil energy, it will produce all kinds of fragments - it may be a piece of space, it may be a line, or anything - those fragments will quickly dissolve in the universe that has not yet burned or directly collapse themselves, but more large pieces of space will attract each other, gather together, and become a new world, But there is a clear line between them—just like the swamp and scorching purgatory before us.
This shows that there was indeed a large-scale evil fire raging here, or rather, it was here that the evil fire was sealed!
As long as you find the meeting point of these shattered space fragments, it must be the place where the Evil Fire Seal is!
"Let's go, I think I know how to go!" Hao Shen stood up with a smile, and finally found a reliable direction instead of continuing to guess blindly based on the information he had carefully inquired about everywhere, and he felt very good.
But Hao Shen's performance made everyone look at him hesitantly, they didn't believe Hao Shen, although Hao Shen's performance along the way was quite strong and reliable, but after all, this was a special period: Hao Shen squatted there and dug a hole, and then analyzed a lot of words that no one could understand, and then announced that the puzzle had been solved, and he already knew where the treasure (the fire of evil energy) was.
It's not very credible.
In the end, Elsa waved her hand and said, "Anyway, we don't have any other clues, so let's just listen to this Mr. Hao Shen...... Maybe he'll find his way! ”
In line with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a live horse doctor, anyway, it is not bad to make a little money, and it is better to walk around if idle, and everyone can still follow Hao Shen on the road.
They followed the dividing line between Scorching Purgatory and the Swamp, speeding in one direction.
On the way, they encountered several other space fragments, some of them were a withered yellow prairie, and some of them were some wild beasts running on it, some were a pitch-black sea with huge waves, and some were even an empty cosmic space, and a few small bare planets could be seen in the distance. Ji Xi'e was particularly interested in jumping in to see if those big stones suspended in the air were any magic materials, but she pressed it to Hao Shen and Zhao Ran: This girl's curiosity is quite high!
Finally, after stepping over several fragments, they came to the place where the fragments gathered and met.
It was a green dense forest space, with a huge canopy of trees covering a large area of the sky, a bright full moon hanging in the sky, and the cold moonlight sprinkled down, shining on the canopy and spilling down through a huge gap in the canopy.
In the clear moonlight, a small lake lay there like a mirror.
