Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Struggle Between Evil and Despair
However, before leaving, Nanshan still didn't hold back his curiosity, and duplicity planned to see that scene with his own eyes.
Yes, although it has only been a little more than a day since he entered this mission world, the things he experienced before have already told him how cruel this world is and how difficult it is to survive.
Obviously, they are almost too old to walk, but the village chief's group of natives are still stationed in the Ginkgo Valley.
Say that it is difficult to leave the homeland.
In fact, this lofty reason, which seems to be full of nostalgia and reluctance, is just a kind of prevarication that is difficult to explain in the eyes of Nanshan, who has seen all kinds of customs and people. The deep suspicion and distrust hidden behind this can only be insisted on by those who have encountered all kinds of difficulties and despair.
After all, everyone's heart is yearning for a better life, with more comfortable and superior living conditions, how can they not want to live.
It's just that they know very well that the situation on the Marfa continent is not enough to support this wish, and if they don't take on this responsibility, then no one will care about the disappearance of Ginkgo Biloba Valley.
Just as the elder of the Orc tribe of Hardclaw Shattered Bone bravely stood up to stop him.
If there is no way out, who would be willing to sacrifice themselves?
Obviously, the massive monsters that appear every night to attack the city, the fear brought to the entire Marfa continent is by no means summed up in a few words, and the drunken gamblers he saw in the casino did not care about losing the battle between life and death, and it was not a catharsis and release of the huge pressure and negative emotions accumulated in the depths of his heart.
It's a world of despair!
The rise of the dark forces, the frenzied infestation of countless monsters on human settlements, and the ubiquitous phenomenon of death make it difficult not to be discouraged and give birth to a different kind of escape..... When will this painful and difficult day come to an end, it is better to think about nothing and do nothing!
If even they give up this honor and persistence, I am afraid that others will not do these stupid things in the eyes of others.
I have to say that this spirit makes people feel great, but also surprisingly pitiful. Even newcomers who have just entered the world of the first mission, and who seem to be useless, are regarded by them as some kind of dependence for investment protection in the future, and it is difficult to say that this is not a helplessness under extreme embarrassment.
Nanshan didn't despise the idea, but felt that it was very difficult.
I'm afraid that's what Infinite Space wants to tell him about the tone of the world.
When faced with difficult difficulties, weak beings will inevitably pursue a more suitable way of survival, and they want to grasp every strength and opportunity that appears nearby.
Therefore, Nanshan is not ready to completely escape the danger and horror that is about to appear, even if it is just a close look, as long as he remembers the feeling of vulnerability and powerlessness, he will have the motivation to continue to move forward.
That's why he spent three years dying outside.
It's too boring to live without excitement and oppression......
Of course, in order to prevent any accidents after being discovered, Nanshan stripped off his clothes, mixed the soil and vine branches and leaves collected on the ground and smashed them into mud, smeared them all over his body, covered up all the smells that belonged to human beings on his body, and then climbed to the top of a relatively safe tree found nearby, restrained his breath, and began to quietly wait for the appearance of danger.
It wasn't long before Nanshan transformed into a new version of Tarzan of the Apes and made all the preparations, and it didn't take long for the scarce sunlight falling from the heights of the dense forest to gradually disappear, and the forest suddenly changed.
Wisps of dark smoke like unknown substances, quickly emerging from the ground, its deep color seemed to be able to swallow everything, obviously there was no light in the forest, but Nanshan could clearly see their existence, gradually filling the space under the tree three or four meters. Then, as if some signal had been activated, countless pairs of red eyes appeared in the already hazy dark distance, shining with an evil and terrifying light, which was by no means the feeling of safety that could be brought by watching from a distance through a wall and a moat, but an immersive horror and hairs standing on end.
Hiding alone in a big tree, facing the arrival of an army of monsters, the feeling of having nowhere to escape, it feels terrifying to think about!
Fortunately, the clear tremor that came from him instantly woke him up from this terrifying and terrifying state.
Nanshan broke out in a cold sweat and saw that as those red eyes approached, the shaking of the earth gradually intensified, and began to affect the forest above where he was staying.
Under the sound of rumbling footsteps, a large number of trees were collapsing, countless branches were broken, and the most terrible thing was that this tremor had been amplified to an exaggerated extent after being transmitted along the trunks to the top. In an instant, countless branches and leaves and fruits that had fallen by the violent impact of the shaking trees fell like heavy rain, and Nanshan had to hug a waist-thick branch under him tightly so as not to be thrown down by force.
You can guess with your toes that the consequence of this fall is to be by countless monsters, and you still have no power to resist!
"That's right, I already feel it!"
At this moment, like a stimulating experience after a sudden burst of adrenaline, Nanshan roared deep in his heart, and in the sound of a sharply accelerated heartbeat, he already felt that the power of the desolation in his body was growing rapidly, and the infinite heat accompanied by the hot blood vessels began to sweep every corner of his body, even the soul did not let go.
This is the smell of death and danger!
Nanshan, who felt that the energy in his body had been filled in an instant, immediately did not stop, and quickly took out the scroll back to the city from the space backpack, because he had already seen that the dark unknown substance was about to spread. Although it is not clear what the consequences of being entangled by this thing are, judging from the fact that the red glow in the eyes of the monsters in the forest has become more and more abundant after being covered by this layer of substance, it is by no means a good thing.
Without any hesitation, after Nanshan opened the scroll back to the city, he immediately tore his hands and wanted to teleport away, but it was too late to say that it was too fast, and these unknown substances that were as black as smoke seemed to feel something, and suddenly the speed skyrocketed, rushing up to Nanshan's location, and he was about to touch his body.
"It's poisonous, you still know how to hunt and kill!"
Nanshan didn't care about exposing his existence, and at the moment when the city return scroll was about to take effect, a spell that slammed his high five suddenly fell, like a missile jet, and the branches of the burning trees wrapped in the flames quickly smashed into the black substance that seemed to be reaching out like tentacles, while Nanshan himself flew up to a higher place at a faster speed.
The movement at this moment, like cold water falling into an oil pot, and the violent explosion instantly attracted the attention of the monsters in the entire forest range.
There is no doubt that this moment of stillness is the calm before the storm, the center of the tornado, the infinite depression of the eruption, and under the influence of the evil dark will, the most terrifying revenge and anger are about to be ushered in for this damned human who dares to invade the heart of the world.
It's a pity that Nanshan can't see the next crazy scene anymore.
Although the spell flames that erupted and the waist-thick giant tree trunk was completely devoured in just a moment after blocking the unknown pitch-black matter, with the help of the Returning City Scroll, he had disappeared into the vast forest.
Only a voice of infinite contempt remained, echoing in the darkness for a long time.
"It's all because there are so many people, anyway, I'll definitely be back......"
