Lotte saw her laughing at her sneak attack again, and was speechless, the alien's laughter was really low. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"By the way, what's the use of psychedelic butterflies? It's worth the price they pay. ”
Fina thought for a moment and explained, "Do you know about the illusion? “
Lotte couldn't help but think of the last two illusion experiences, absolutely immersive, super real, and nodded unconsciously.
Fina looked at Lotte's strange expression, presumably Lotte had an unusual experience in the illusion, and of course he might be embarrassed, and laughed out loud, "Oh, you know the illusion, then you are not a novice who knows nothing." ”
Fina straightened her face, "Illusions exist in many places, there are illusion arrays, there are illusions, there are heaven and earth self-generated, and there are also artificially created, once you enter the illusion, it is really a blessing and a curse, in some sects, the powerful elder group can also join forces to create the desired illusion as needed, which is used for family inheritance, etc., which is of great benefit to the cultivation of a certain sect's core secrets, but there is also a big problem with the cultivation of the illusion, such as when the person is cultivating, he is suddenly disturbed or something, and he will get lost in the illusion. Once lost, you can't come out of the illusion, which means a permanent coma, sleeping and not waking up, although there are many ways to save people in the illusion, theoretically a very powerful monk can freely enter and exit the illusion, without being affected, but this is only theoretically feasible, in reality, tens of millions of years have not recorded who can enter and exit the illusion freely, so the only practical way is to catch a psychedelic butterfly, use its natural skills to create a new illusion, with the help of the new illusion to overlap, Then destroy the illusion in front of you, and then kill the psychedelic butterflies to complete the rescue mission. ”
Lotte frowned, Fina smiled slightly, whether it was necessary to continue to explain, and said, "Do you think it's cruel, you need to kill another person in order to save one person." ”
Lotte silently expressed Lingling's own unbearable.
Fina had a serious expression and said: "The law of the jungle is the strong, it has been like this since ancient times, don't think that the evolution of the federal civilization to the present, many times, it is just an extra layer of fig leaf, how it should be or what, nothing has changed." ”
After listening to Fina's words, Lotte felt a deep loss, a huge gap between reality and dreams, making him feel his chest swell, let out a long breath, and then looked at Fina, and suddenly found that the girl was also lonely.
Fina thought that she had discovered her abnormality, smiled and added: "However, don't think of psychedelic butterflies as 'good men and women', on the contrary, every place where psychedelic butterflies appear will be accompanied by a bloody rain." You'll find out later. ”
The two handed in the materials, took the task, and left the hall.
Fina whispered, "Let's go around twice and then leave, beware of being followed." ”
Lotte nodded.
The two of them went out of the mission hall, and after finding that no one was following, they followed one direction all the way.
This time, the direction of the journey is the opposite of the last time the Lost Forest was taken.
After the fourth day, the two climbed over a mountain, stood on a high hill, and saw in the distance that there was a mountain forest below the ground level in front of them, which were columnar, cone-shaped, tower-shaped, bamboo shoot-shaped, sword-shaped, fungus-shaped, etc. Strange and majestic.
From the perspective of earth knowledge, this belongs to the landform like Yandang Mountain.
"In front of us is our destination - Thousand Needles Stone Forest, don't underestimate it, a radius of thousands of kilometers, it is easy to get lost if you are not careful, just a few days ago, when Uncle An and they were collecting resources here, they saw a colorful insect cocoon hanging on the top of a mountain with a psychedelic butterfly larvae, and the time has only passed 6 days, and it should not have left."
I don't know if it's a problem with the light, or if it's because of fatigue, a wave of dizziness hits.
Lotte suddenly had a very strange feeling, as if the stone forest in front of him was full of a sense of danger, as if someone was reminding him to pay attention to safety.
"Rakuten, what's wrong with you!"
Lotte shook his head, dispelling a trace of unprovoked fear in his heart, "It's okay! ”
"Let's go!"
Lotte and Fina entered the Thousand Needles Stone Forest one after the other.
Lotte seems to be in a very strange forest, sometimes there are strange rocks, and the stones are like giant trees, and the surroundings are bare; Sometimes it is like a primeval forest, the lush towering trees secretly block the sun, and the fierce beasts howl in a trance, until they leave this primeval forest, and Lotte finds that it is like entering the mountains, which is completely different from the scene he has seen before.
"It's almost there."
The two of them walked for about ten minutes, and a primitive village was in sight in the distance, and when they were about to approach the village, a child's heart-rending cry suddenly came from the entrance of the village, which was particularly frightening in the silent mountains.
Fina ran up quickly, and saw a girl at the entrance of the village who was wearing old clothes and a little tattered there, crying bitterly, her long hair making it impossible for them to see the whole picture, and her face was full of tears.
Seeing such a human girl crying here, Fina took out a handkerchief in distress and squatted down to wipe her tears.
Lotte pushed open the door of a room, and there were several corpses lying in between, but they didn't look like humans, and the smell of blood filled the ground, and it looked like they had just died.
Fina asked the child distressedly, "Little sister, what happened in the village?" Why are you crying here alone? ”
The girl's body trembled because she was so sad.
Fina noticed that there was still some blood on the child's body, and grabbed a corner of her coat and wiped it carefully.
The girl suddenly stopped crying, and a hand slowly lifted, revealing sharp claws from the sleeve of her coat, about to plunge into the back of Fina's heart.
"Fina, come here."
Lotte ran out of the house and shouted at Fina.
Lotte's sudden appearance disrupted the rhythm of the little girl's attack on Fina, causing her to panic a little and retract her arm in a hurry.
Fina stood up, helped the little girl tidy up, and looked back at Lotte.
"Fina, come here, there are a lot of dead people here."
Fina followed Lotte into a room, and saw corpses all over the place, blood flowed all over the ground, and the room was full of smoky blood, maybe it was not long after he died, and the blood still oozes out from time to time, everyone's wounds are basically the same, and the chest was pierced by a sharp blade and died, and at a cursory glance, it was found that none of them were humans, a bit like toads that had been magnified countless times, but these toads had hands and feet, and they were also wearing leather clothes, and there were weapons in their hands.
The two of them checked several other houses, almost every house was like this, lying full of such corpses, and a faint uneasiness enveloped the hearts of the two of them, whether all the people in this village had been slaughtered! The two searched every corner, and sure enough, they didn't find a single living life.
The two were about to discuss what was going on, when there was another loud cry at the entrance of the village.
The two of them looked at each other and rushed out.
Fina asked the little girl, "Little sister, are you from this village?" ”
The little girl raised her head, tears were still flowing down her face from time to time, and it seemed that Fina had only said for a long time: "No! ”
"And how did you get here?"
"My mom and I just got here today, and we just want to rest here."
"What about your mother?"
When the girl heard this, she began to cry loudly, and Fina had to keep comforting her, and the two waited for a long time before the girl stopped crying.
The little girl suddenly knelt down in front of Fina, hugged Fina's legs, and cried and prayed, "Sister, please save my mother."
Fina looked very distressed, "Little sister, don't be sad, tell my sister, we must go to save your mother." Tell us about it first, shall you? ”
"Yes!"
The little girl nodded, stopped crying, and then told Lotte about what had happened, and when it came to sadness, the little girl's body kept shaking.
Originally, this village was called Wood Frog Village, and there lived a kind of tree frog-like creature, which was called Wood Frog because they built their houses on tree trunks. The little girl claimed to be from the planet Blue Bully and followed her mother to pass by.
Lotte asks Fina, "What planet is the Blue Breech?" ”
Fina threw herself on the child, thought for a while, and said slowly: "It is also a planet of ancient human remnants on the earth, but what is the status in the Federation, it belongs to an obscene planet, and it is very chaotic there." ”
The little girl continued: "My mother and I just arrived here today, and although the village elders here are a little scary, they are very welcoming, give us a lot of food, and set aside a house for us to rest. Just this morning, a lot of water frogmen suddenly rushed in, they blocked the wood frog people in the house, and killed them all murderously, even those young wood frog people did not let go, but my mother secretly hid me at that time, and my mother was outnumbered and captured by them. ”
Fina kept comforting the little girl.
Lotte with a hint of suspicion.
"How do you know, know they're water frogmen?"
The little girl glanced at Lotte, hugged Fina's neck and cried sadly, "I heard someone in the wooden frog village shouting, the water frog people are coming, everyone run or something, and then my mother was captured by them, and I secretly followed them behind for a while." ”
Lotte thought about it but couldn't find anything wrong, but looked at the road in the village suspiciously, and didn't see a trace of blood on the ground, why were the wood frogmen killed in the house, and there was no trace of a fight in the house.
Fina asked, "Where are the water frogmen above?" ”
"The village of Water Frog is on the edge of a lake about 20 kilometers northeast of us."
The little girl looked at Lotte and began to cry again, shaking Fina's neck, "Sister, please save my mother, sister, save my mother!" ”
Fina sympathetically helped the little girl wipe away her tears, "Little sister don't cry, okay, sister will go and save your mother now!" ”
Lotte opened his mouth, wanting to ask some more questions, but was pulled forward by Fina, "Little sister, you can wait for your sister here with peace of mind, my sister will definitely save your mother!" ”
The little girl shook her head with teary eyes, "Sister, I'm going to go with me too, I'll just stand far away, okay?" I want to see my mother rescued for the first time. ”
Fina thought for a moment, "Then you have to protect yourself!" ”
The little girl nodded.
Fina and Lotte walked about 20 kilometers in the direction pointed by the little girl, and sure enough, a large lake appeared in sight, and there was also a primitive village built by the water on the edge of the lake, and the water frogman and the wood frogman looked basically the same, the difference was that the skin of the two was different, the water frog man's skin was blue, and the wood frogman was brown.
