Chapter Twenty-Six: The Lost Lands
When Gu Xuan woke up from a deep coma, he looked around and found that he was in a dense green forest.
The reason why it is so described is that the trees here are so tall that they rise to the sky, and when you look up, the canopy grows at least hundreds of meters above the ground, and through the gaps between the leaves, you can only see wisps of light projected from nowhere.
The light is not very obvious, but at least it keeps the surroundings in a normal state of sight.
At this moment, he seemed to be in the country where giants lived, because not only the trees around him grew so huge, but even the grass next to him grew taller than others, and the mushrooms that came out of the soil were like a small black-roofed house.
Gu Xuan just looked at it hastily for a few breaths, and then he felt an unprecedented sense of great crisis, as soon as he wanted to move, he felt something strange around him, he subconsciously waved his hand, although the memory after falling from the cliff was completely blank, but his body didn't seem to be damaged.
If the height of the difference between the top and bottom is enough for him to be knocked unconscious, and even the memory of the previous fall has disappeared, then at least half of the bones in his body must be shattered now, could it be that the aether energy has strengthened the body to such a point?
But......
There are no pitfalls in the groundγγγγγγ
He frowned slightly, and quickly took a deep breath, the air that poured into his nostrils was very fresh, only a little earthy and the natural smell of rotting leaves, although it was very good, but it was missing something, something very important.
The aether energy is gone!
For a short period of time, he couldn't determine whether it was because he was overdrawing the ether energy, which caused his body to be unable to feel its existence temporarily or forever, or if it was the same as the situation in the Western Continent, there was indeed no such thing here.
He withdrew his upward gaze and quickly turned his head to look, only to find Adam lying next to him, also sitting on the ground, observing the situation around him in a daze, but his mouth was slightly open and he even forgot to close it, and his eyes were not bright, like a fool.
Gu Xuan chuckled in his heart, and secretly said that it was not good, because looking at this posture, the other party seemed to have never been here, thinking of this, he quickly got up from the ground and walked towards Adam, but on the way, he felt a pain in his back, and then he remembered that his old injuries were not healed, so he quickly reined in his pace and walked as slowly as possible.
"Adam!"
Gu Xuan called tentatively, Adam, who had been staring at the grass in front of him, trembled, then came back to his senses and subconsciously turned his head, and after seeing Gu Xuan, there was suddenly a trace of guilt and helplessness in his eyes, Gu Xuan saw it very clearly, and his mood suddenly became heavy, but he still insisted on asking: "Adam, do you know what kind of place this is?"
Adam nodded lightly, then shook his head gently, his expression changed from stupid to very bitter, but before Gu Xuan could continue to ask, he took the initiative to explain: "In our Eastern Continent, there is a place that is absolute and the only forbidden place, and it should be here. β
"Forbidden land?here?" Gu Xuan heard this, looked around, and asked with some doubts, "I remember that we jumped directly from the cliff at that time, and look at this posture, it is nothing more than falling deeper, and then we just need to find the boundary and climb up again from the bottom of the cliff, even if it is difficult to climb, as long as it is not a Jedi with nowhere to borrow, I think, there is still a chance to go up." β
Adam closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled it, and after a while, he smiled bitterly: "Hey, in fact, I thought so before, Bao, do you know, in the words of your human race, that is, 'a dead horse should be a live horse doctor', because in that case, the only way I thought of was to avoid the pursuit of the Spirit Clan, but I never thought that the original Lost Land would actually mean this." β
After that, he shook his head helplessly, looking very decadent, but Gu Xuan became more curious, and immediately asked, "Lost Land?"
It's not a good place to be.
Adam nodded slowly, pursed his lips, and finally explained, "This place is called the Lost Land, because it is related to a legend in our Eastern Continent, which is said to be the place where the gods once lived!"
When Gu Xuan heard this, his brows furrowed, and he didn't know what this meant at all, because in the Western Continent, all legends were actually just legends, and there was no place like the Eastern Continent that actually found a real place of legends.
Adam could only continue to explain to Gu Xuan: "Because all the people who walk here, whether intentionally or unintentionally, in short, they have never walked out of here, never, even the name of the Lost Land, it is just because of the legend passed down from the old age, but I never thought that it really existed, and we really came here." β
Adam said, couldn't help curling up, holding his head in his hands, lowering his head, and said incoherently: "I didn't expect that this place turned out to be a separate place, it was my mistake, it was my mistake, I was wrong, I was wrong, it was over, I couldn't get out, this time there was really no way, no way, I really couldn't get out, I couldn't get outγγγγγγ β
"Adam!"
When Gu Xuan saw it, he stepped forward suddenly, regardless of the injury on his back, he suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Adam's shoulder very hard, and yelled at the other party, and waited until the other party finally shut up, and then slowly came back to his senses, then he said slowly: "Whether it's you, or me, we, we are all burdened with things that we must never give up, the two of us have even passed the sea of stars, how can we fall here, you cheer me up!"
In fact, Adam is also a tenacious person, just because he has heard a lot of legends about the Lost Land since he was a child, but he has never thought so, otherwise he would never have broken in and taken refuge in just so-so, so when he was really in it, and found that everything around him was subverting his common sense, of course he panicked.
He was afraid not because of the death he might face at any time, but when he found that he really couldn't get out of here, then he would live up to what he was carrying, but fortunately, Gu Xuan succeeded in waking him up and encouraging him by the side, otherwise he would probably collapse.
Adam turned his head, grabbed Gu Xuan's arm with both hands, his eyes refocused, and muttered in his mouth: "Yes, yes, what you said is very right, Bao, miracles exist, we can be the ones who create miracles!"
Gu Xuan nodded with satisfaction, let go of his hand, and then said, "Of course, Adam, now, let's rearrange the useful things, I don't know anything about here, so you say you know first." β
Adam swallowed a mouthful of saliva, stabilized his mind a little, then took another deep breath, closed his eyes, and reopened them again, until finally, he opened his mouth and slowly remembered as he spoke.
"In fact, there has always been a legend in our Eastern Continent, in a place, once inhabited by gods, and they, that is, the creators of our earth tribe and spirit people, but I don't know what reason, I don't know when it started, the great gods suddenly disappeared, and the people who lost their faith quickly ran to the place where the gods lived, or looked for their traces, hoping that the gods could leave us some revelations, but those people never came back!"
"No, it should be said, so far, no one has actually come out of here. When Adam said this, instead of his eyes darkening, he raised his eyebrows and began to deduce somewhat tentatively, " No, no, if the legend is only spread through everyone's mouth, then there will be a deviation, and the more time passes, the more outrageous it becomes, in fact, I'm thinking, maybe someone has come out, but they can't speak, so they are forced to guard this secret for the rest of their lives, this maybe, of course, all this is just my guess, so far no one who has come in here has ever gone out, it is a true fact. β
"In short, if you just look at the map, we are actually in the northwest corner of the Eastern Continent, not far from where we went ashore, and when I was being chased and killed by those Spirit Clansmen, I immediately thought of this forbidden place that no one dared to approach. Adam said slowly, "In the sky above this area, even the birds do not exist, and when Elvi arrives here, he will naturally stay away from it, for no reason, and the white expanse below, the fog does not disperse all year round, or maybe it is not fog at all, because for thousands of years, we have used all the methods we can think of, but we have not been able to successfully expel it, or even to dilute it a little, maybe the meaning of their existence itself is to prevent outsiders from probing." β
Speaking of this, Gu Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Hasn't anyone thought of using a safe way to investigate the situation here?"
Adam nodded and said: "Of course there were, there are people who send things down with ropes, but no matter what is tied to it, whether it is an item or a person, in short, it will break and disappear together with the rope, and the whole process, the people above are completely imperceptible, as if, those things disappeared directly into another space, so some people have been speculating that in fact, this is a passage to another world, and there are many people who support this point of view, and now it has been proved that they are right and wrong is me." β
Gu Xuan was surprised: "Another space?"
Adam smiled bitterly, "Haven't you noticed that this is not the world we once knew at all!"
