Chapter 218: The Guide
The sea breeze blew from the distant sea, and the cold rushed into Hua Feifei's arms, wanting to take away all the warmth from his body before he was willing to give up. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The thick blanket wrapped around him swayed as he stared at the colder and colder sea ahead of him, saying nothing.
The climate of the West Sea is already capricious, and even more so in this late autumn and winter season, if it weren't for Hua Feifei who had cultivated the "Talent Pulse Technique", perhaps, his teeth would have been shivering.
Qin Qin walked up to the deck tightly wrapped and came to him.
"What are you looking at?" She was curious, and Hua Feifei seemed to have been standing on the deck for nearly an hour, always keeping her eyes on the front.
"The sea." Hua Fei replied to her succinctly, in fact, he appeared on the face of a certain person.
Fu Qinqin also looked at the ocean in his direction, the hull of the boat suddenly jolted, she was a little unsteady, and Hua Feifei hurriedly reached out to support her.
"Let's go down." Hua Extraordinary turned down.
Fu Qinqin turned to look at him, a little unable to understand this person.
is young, but it seems to have experienced vicissitudes, and there is always something in his heart.
The more this is the case, the more curious Fu Qinqin becomes.
After half an hour of traveling, the temperature began to rise, and everyone climbed onto the deck to bask in the sun, and it seemed that the ferry, which had been quietly dead a moment ago, was alive again.
In the distance, a tall steel fortress lined up across the sea is the 'blood barrier', and everyone is on the deck looking at this coastal defense fortress built by human beings with countless financial resources, energy, and technology.
Approaching the Great Wall of Haiphong, I found that its overall building is blood-colored, the tall city wall is dozens of meters, and the embankment street at the foot of the city wall still forms a ukiyo-e market, and the various colorful markets are full of noise.
The world is full of people's profits, and where there are profits, there will be people who risk their lives to come.
The horse team discussed with Dafu that they did not intend to stop at the foot of the Great Wall, after all, many of the ships that set off with them had passed through the seaway gates of the 'Blood Barrier' and came to the outer lands.
The vast ocean still feels endless, and after the ferry speeds past the islands, green islands appear at the end of the sea.
On many of the ships that traveled with them, there were already mercenaries who couldn't wait to get ready to go.
"The forbidden land of the West Sea, the boneless cemetery has arrived in the 'green rainforest'." Jiang Yu slapped the ferry to the handrail and looked at the green island.
"We landed at the pier on Island 3!" The team said to all the members, "Remember to act in groups, not in a scattered manner." ”
Everyone began to pack their luggage and equipment in the cabin, and in a short time they were all armed and standing on the deck, each carrying a combat backpack.
When the ship arrived at Pier 3, Hua Feifei noticed that the pier was built on several huge trees rooted in the sea, these towering trees were incredibly large, each as tall as a building with more than a dozen floors.
In charge of the management of the dock is the formation legion wearing the expeditionary force, Hua Fei does not recognize the emblem of these legions, and the equipment is mixed, which is not as good as the elite of the Free Federation legions in the Free Federation.
It is remarkable that many of the forts in the docks were built on thick tree trunks, and even the streets were built on tree trunks, many of which were hollowed out to make room for bars, weapons stores, restaurants, supermarkets, hospitals, and so on.
Many mercenaries who docked together flocked to the dock one after another, and the off-road vehicles that had ordered the dock went to the depths en masse.
The horse team took its team members to stay at the dock for a while, and then waved his hand to let the rich brother take people to the square to rest first, and entered a bar by himself.
Jiang Yu watched the horse team go to the bar to inquire about the news, and looked at the map by himself, drawing and writing on it, calculating something.
Just happened to be next to him, so he asked.
"Which of these places do you think will have a great hope of finding that thing?"
Hua Feifei looked at the map, according to the pier and route, he believed that he would not find any information about the source of life in close range, but he felt that the more impossible the place, there might be greater hope......
So he slid his finger over the map and pointed to another part of the map.
"Well, that's the most dangerous red zone." Jiang Yu seemed to look at Hua Feifei and said.
"Opportunity and danger coexist." Hua Feifei said.
Jiang Yu nodded, and then agreed, "After my analysis and calculation, the green rainforest to the red area, and the unexplored black area are the most likely. ”
Sure enough, the horse team came out of the bar with a drunken face, and then nodded at the rich brother, and the group began to set off, all the members of the Flying Fox team rented two off-road vehicles, and the vehicles drove on the road carved out by the thick tree trunks, passing by the living area of this 'green rainforest', this place makes people feel like a paradise, many people live in tree houses or tree trunks.
But it looks very warm, but it is a hidden murderous motive, because on the way I also saw the expeditionary force and a military police dealing with a dispute, it seems that the expeditionary force and the local mercenaries had an unpleasant relationship, and there are still white cloth-covered corpses lying on the ground, and the red blood stains are shocking to see.
After nearly forty minutes of driving, the vehicle stopped deep in the woods, and the horse team leading the team in front of it got out of the car, and there were trees supported by huge trunks everywhere in front of them, which looked like a village of woods.
When the horse team got out of the car, they knocked on the door of a tree hole, and a head poked out of it, an old man of nearly sixty years old, with all white hair, and the hair on his head was almost lost, and his eyes did not seem to be very good.
"I was introduced by Boss Gu." The team said, handing over an envelope that was bulging inside.
The old man took it in disbelief, opened it, pulled out a wad of Free Federation cash, and then opened the door.
"Come in."
Outside, Gaga and Jiu Ye were left to take care of the car and equipment, and the others hunched their backs into the tree-hole house.
Inside, Hua Feifei found that there was a hole in it, the trunk was almost hollowed out, and a lot of space was opened up in it, such as a spacious living room, as well as several rooms in between, and a ladder on the second floor, the old man sat on the wooden mound coffee table in the living room, motioned for the horse team to sit down with Dafu, and then beckoned.
"Adi, come out and pour them some tea." The old man shouted upstairs.
Then, a neutral boy with dark skin and short ear-length hair ran down, if it weren't for the slightly bulging chest and Adam's apple symptoms, Hua Feifei would think that this was a boy.
She silently made a large pot of tea on the counter, poured a cup for everyone who entered the tree house, and Hua Feifei took a sip, the tea was like dried and crushed leaves, bitter and moldy, but after that, there would be a sweet aftertaste in the mouth.
"We're looking for this." The horse team handed him a photo, which was the photo of the 'Source of Life' given by Bai Qi.
When the old man saw this photo, his expression was a little solemn.
"The Bodhi Dryad has been extinct for years." The old man looked up at the horse team and said.
"But someone saw the living 'Bodhi Dryad'." Said the horse team.
"Maybe that's the last one." The old man said.
The horse team was not in a hurry, but calmed down and communicated with him patiently: "Boss Gu said that you will give us some useful news." ”
The old man did not respond, but drank his tea firmly, as if the people he had invited in had nothing to do with him.
"It's a deposit." The horse team took out a bag of banknotes from the rich brother and pushed it towards the old man, "I hope the guide of the rainforest will show us the way." ”
The old man looked at the bag, which was much more bulging than the one he had knocked on, and then nodded, and dragged the bag back.
"The man who saw the dryad is dead." The old man said.
The horse team and the others looked at each other, the old man was obviously wary, and the old man looked at Adi, who was pouring tea in the house.
The horse team seemed to be aware of his vigilance.
"Don't worry, you can rest assured of the reputation of our Flying Fox team, we are not the kind of team that kills people." The horse team knocked on the table and said.
"I don't know where the Bodhi Dryad will be found." The old man shook his head, then beckoned, took out a map from behind him, and spread it out on the wooden table, this map was more primitive than the horse team, and there was not even more color area, it was precisely because there were many people in the exploration that the 'Green Rainforest' would be divided into so many color areas, such as the most dangerous red, the lower area was orange, and the unexplored unknown areas were all marked black.
The old man pointed to the primitive map and said, "Once upon a time, our area was not a place for mercenaries from the Free Federation and the Confederate Empire, let alone an expeditionary force stationed there. ”
The old man paused and continued: "There were originally some primitive tribal races living here, they were the people of this forest, and later after the adventurers here discovered it, it was tantamount to a treasure trove was discovered, and the mercenaries and talented people who came here killed and looted, and many rainforest tribes suffered heavy casualties in order to protect their environment, and even many tribes were exterminated. ”
Speaking of this, the old man inadvertently glanced at Adi again, and Hua Feifei stared at the girl, as if she realized something.
"I can let her show you the way, but you have to keep her safe." The old man finally pointed to Adi and said.
The horse team looked at this neutral girl who was estimated to be fifteen or sixteen years old, and then nodded: "We can guarantee this." ”
The old man nodded: "She will bring you to ...... This area! ”
As he spoke, the old man pointed to an area in the depths and said, Brother Dafu and Jiang Yu compared the color-coded map in their hands, and then noted down the geographical location.
"All things have spirits, and all beings are equal." The old man suddenly said, "Remember, don't treat this forest with excessive killing, or the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
After speaking, she beckoned to whisper a few words in Adi's ear, and then asked her to clean up, and after a while, she came down with a simple cloth bag on her back and changed into a pair of special rain boots.
"It's good to bring the money back to me, as for whether you have met the Bodhi Tree Demon or not, it's not up to us to decide, the transaction is just a transaction, we don't do anything other than promises, this is the rule of the guide." The old man said to the horse team and the others.
The horse team nodded, and then turned to go out, the old man stood in the house and watched the group leave, and then turned around and went into the house and hung a sign on the door with 'No Visitors', and after a while someone came to knock on the door, but no one responded, and people outside had to kick the door a few times, scolding and leaving.
