After that, led by Zhou Qing's other two members of the Green Alliance, we headed in the direction of the forest to the west.

The direction of the forest, from the west side of the cave where we were, can be reached from the direction of the cave entrance.

It was a shortcut, so under the leadership of Zhou Qing, we went deeper along the cave, and there were many forks in the depths of the cave, which seemed to be a bit complicated.

We walked inside the cave for a while, and then after a winding journey we came to another exit from the cave.

As far as the eye could see, the sun's rays shone through the gaps in the branches and leaves of the trees, and we emerged from the mouth of the cave one after another.

The air outside was fresh, but it was also a little cold, and there was something not far ahead.

"Hoshizawa-sama, it's cold." Zhou Qingdao

"It's okay, let's keep walking." I said

"The strange place is not far ahead, and it's a short walk away." Zhou Qingdao

Then we continued to move forward, and began to walk into the forest, heading towards the depths, and after a short journey, as Zhou Qing said, we arrived in front of the mutation site not long after.

Many of the trees in front of this are withered, and unlike the winter when they stop growing, no, the roots have rotted, and the ground on the ground does not look very good.

There was a misty black gas around him, and he could see that a lot of the land around him had collapsed, some trees had fallen, the ground was soft and lacked camps, and there was a place in front of him that was black, and when he got closer, he could see that it was a pit, and how deep the pit was was because it was too dark to be confirmed with the naked eye, but it was generally very deep.

"The ecology here is terrible." I said

"Yes, a side effect of the experiment." Zhou Qingdao

The black aura is somewhat similar to that of the demonic beast, and I know something about the experiment in yesterday's information, and judging from my current judgment, the experiment may be related to the demonic kind.

The so-called demons, by definition, are roughly negative energy, jealousy, anger, resentment, and so on. Such energy accumulation to a certain extent will undoubtedly cause damage to nature, and it is also one of the important reasons for the birth of disasters.

"And that's not all, because these mutations also lead to the death or mutation of the creatures that inhabit this neighborhood." Zhou Qing said

I've actually seen this kind of thing, a creature that is swallowed up by a thick black aura and transforms, and that's one of the types called Warcraft.

At this moment, there is such a strange creature not far from me, it is a mutated rat, the eyes are dim, the body is long, it should be a weasel, but the appearance has become a little different from the ordinary weasel, it looks a little fierce.

After seeing a few of us, he looked at us a few times and fled.

In addition, I observed that in the sunken land, there were ants crawling in the pits, and the ants were affected by the black breath, and the skin surface had undergone subtle changes.

It is indeed a heavily polluted forest area.

"I understand that this forest is really in a crisis situation, but to improve this place, the root cause is to get rid of the negative energy (demon)."

"This is because of people's selfishness, and the result is fundamentally the mastermind of that man." Zhou Qing said

As we continued, all around here, and there were more polluted places ahead,

However, there are many gods in the forest here, and there are no gods in this vicinity, probably because they have migrated to other places because they are polluted. The key owner in charge of this forest seems to be around here.

I looked a short distance away and saw a colorful bird perched on top of a large tree looking at us a little outside of the polluted area.

It is the owner of the forest, and it has seen it before, so it also recognizes it.

The other party approached because he saw that I was also moving in my direction at the moment.

"The one ahead is the most affected central point." One of the members who followed behind me said

As we walked slowly, we came to the largest area of depression ahead of us, where there was a wide pit, and the inside of which was pitch black and bottomless.

"yes, this is probably the center of the experiment, right?" I said

Not long ago, I had seen a similar place, located in the sub-base of the Green Alliance, in the jungle outside the New Century Capital.

"Hoshizawa-sama, do you have special powers, can you restore this place?" Zhou Qing asked me with a slightly puzzled expression

"I... Probably not, there are people who are more adept at this than me. I said

That being is approaching us at this moment.

"Well, what the hell is that?" Zhou Qing said puzzled

"Do you know that there is a god in the forest, who is in charge of the forest?" I asked rhetorically

"The god of the forest......" Zhou Qing pondered puzzled.

At this time, in the direction of the woods on the other side, a white squirrel approached this way.

The squirrel, as I know, is the master of the forest.

"It's been a long time, Li Xingze." The white squirrel came up to me, jumped over my body, came to my shoulder, and gently tugged at my collar with his little hand

Its greeting to me was through inner induction, which should not have been heard by a few people around me, but it also attracted a slight attention.

"That's right, after a while, your forest is in tatters again." I responded, also by inwardness.

"There's no way around it, but you're suddenly different, and it seems that you're even higher than my class." It said

At the moment, it's just a normal resting on my shoulder.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing on the side couldn't help but say, "That, Lord Xingze, what is that white creature?" ”

"Is it a creature you know?"

"Could it be because the king's power sensed it?"

The other two members said one after the other

Hearing this, I said, "This white squirrel, it's from the forest..."

For a while, my master, Negera, told me not to reveal my identity to others, but there was nothing I could do in this situation. I'm one step away from being exposed.

But...... The green-haired girl, Zhou Qing was already aware of it at this moment.

"The master of the forest?" Zhou Qing couldn't help but say

She looked at the squirrel at this moment, and the white squirrel also nodded slightly to the strong sensing ability, and said, "Please keep it secret." ”

When it comes to humanity, it should almost be ready for such an awareness.

"I didn't expect to meet my master, it's such an honor." Zhou Qing said

This left the white squirrel speechless for a while.

Then he said: "If it's exposed, there's no way, please be more serious." ”

"Understood." Zhou Qing and the two members on the side nodded one after another

"Compared to this, the owner of the forest is really small, so people can't see it." Chen Xiangguang, a brown-haired female member on the other side, said

"Can't see that's the goal, isn't it?" Another member said

"You're fools, it's not going to be good here." White Squirrel said

"So, can't you fix it here? Listen to Hoshizawa-sama, you have such power. Zhou Qing asked

"The power to repair it, that's there, but if the root of the problem is not solved, even if you barely make it better, it's useless."

"yes, what's the source of the problem in your opinion?" Zhou Qing asked

"It's human." The white squirrel replied

“… Our fault? The brunette woman asked

"It's not like this, if it's just this level of forest pollution, then it's okay, it's just because of the bane planted by humans, and the next disaster will not be simple, and I, as the master, can't stand it." White Squirrel said

"Sure enough, it happened some time ago." I said

"Well, for details, I want to go underground with you to find it, and the god in charge of the land will discuss it." White Squirrel said

"yes, that's fine, what about the other three?" I said

I was referring to Zhou Qing and the other three, Negela also understood, and said: "The three of them are still waiting on the ground, I will go with Li Xingze, and I want to hear the conclusion later, I am telling you, after all, in the underground, not everyone can go easily." ”

"Yes, we understand, Master." Zhou Qing responded with understanding

Then the white squirrel jumped off my shoulder, and walked towards the huge subsidence area in front of me, and in the dark place, it stopped: "We want to go down from here, because of the subsidence, we can go from here to the depths of the underground, you three can't help it, the pollution in the subsidence tunnel is very strong, I am purifying, but you want to come is only superfluous to increase the risk." ”

"yes, we get it." At this moment, the brown-haired woman heard what Negera said, and nodded in understanding.

The three men watched us from the sidelines.

At this moment, Negera and I were both standing on the side of the subsidence area, and at this time, Negera said: "Are you ready, Li Xingze, we are going to jump down together." ”

Hearing this, I nodded slightly: "Well, no problem." ”

"So..."

As she spoke, she leaped into the dark cavern, and I saw that I had actually jumped into the black cavern at about the same time.

In the darkness of the tunnel, we continued to fall downward, Negera's body emitting a white light along the way, illuminating the surroundings, and the two of us dived into the depths one after another.

Descending a long distance into the depths of the ground, it seemed that under the light of the master, most of the black negative energy around the tunnel was cleared, and then in a dim place, through a slope, we came to the end of the tunnel.

Ahead was a dead end, surrounded by dirt and gravel.

"Is it the end?" I said

"No, not yet."

Negera came to the blocked tunnel at this time, touched the dirt in front of her, and seemed to call for something deep underground with her mind, and suddenly, the dirt and gravel in front of her collapsed one after another, and even the dirt under our feet also sank.

We continued to descend into the tunnels deep underground.
