Chapter 8: Longbottom Forest

Fang Zhen stepped forward with curiosity and planned to look around, but suddenly he tripped over something under his feet, and with an "ah" staggered a few steps and threw himself on the ground, stirring up countless fallen leaves. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Isn't it, although my cultivation is gone, but I still have the body method, and I won't be tripped so easily?" Fang Zhen's body was not weak, but very energetic, but his body didn't seem to be as light as before.

Fang Zhen didn't think about it so much, it was very sad that his cultivation was lost, so let's look at the culprit who tripped him.

I saw a white stick-shaped object popping up in the pile of fallen leaves, Fang Zhen was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately held it and pulled it out. After pulling it out, the leaves flew, but Fang Zhen's eyes were fixed on the long stick that had just been pulled out.

"Isn't this the Sky Scepter, huh, where is the crystal!Why is the crystal gone!" Although the Sky Scepter was a little dim, Fang Zhen could still see the pattern on it at a glance, and what made Fang Zhen desperate was that the most important crystal at the top of the scepter was missing, which was the source of the power of the Sky Scepter.

Fang Zhen knelt on the ground, with a desperate and gray face. "How can this be, how can this be, are they all saved?" Fang Zhen muttered, his eyes gloomy. After a long time, he suddenly looked up to the sky and shouted, "God, why don't you let me atone for my sins!" The voice seemed to be choked, sad, vicissitudes and remorse.

Fang Zhen sat quietly on his knees like this, without saying a word. After a long time, Fang Zhen raised his head, and his resolute gaze refocused his eyes. "Yes, and those old ways, I'll go find them now. ”

Fang Zhen stood up again, looked around the jungle, and sneered, "Sample, look at how I conquer you." After that, he held the scepter and went on his first expedition since entering the Atlas. -------------------------------------------------------

A few days later, Fang Zhen was lying on a rock next to a river with his arms on his back basking in the sun, eating wild fruits picked in the forest in his mouth.

"What a thing, there's nothing that can run or fly, I haven't eaten meat for half a month. Fang Zhen complained. Fang Zhen ran all over the jungle and the mountains around the jungle, the east and north of the jungle were very calm oceans, not to mention beasts, birds, fish, shrimps and crabs, and ants could not see them. This is a fundamental violation of the laws of nature. Fang Zhen didn't go too far, because this jungle was actually separated by a huge crack in the ground, according to the detection, the crack was still new, but Fang Zhen didn't remember where there was such a natural danger on the earth, could it be that the earthquake came so fast? or was it very artistic and semi-surrounded the jungle? It felt like splitting the entire jungle. Although the jungle is not large, it is the size of a big city.

"It seems that there is only one moon on the earth, how can I see four moons here, and they are different colors, I don't know when they came out, am I in a coma for hundreds of years? Those old men in white coats got a few asteroids from outer space to surround the earth, or did they mine all the earth's mineral deposits to make an artificial moon, did they show off their heads? Oh yes, it's not messy enough. The high tide can flood Tibet. Fang Zhen replied endlessly to himself. There's no way, it's stuffy for so many days, and it's very uncomfortable to bury a basket of questions in my stomach, and I can endure it before I do it, because I have a goal. But now it's a problem to even go out, you can't find someone who can run to chat, and if you don't talk to yourself, you'll really get bored.

After speaking, Fang Zhen casually threw away the finished fruit core and picked up the body of the Sky Scepter from his side. Gently stroked. How much I longed for the crystal to suddenly pop up, so that Fang Zhen would be willing to live ten years less. However, when it came to crystals, when Fang Zhen went to check the scorched black bird corpse he woke up to, he took out an egg-sized oval sphere crystal from the head of the bird corpse, blue-gray with a little luster, but it was not obvious. Fang Zhen once thought it was the demon beast Neidan mentioned by Kunlun Lao Dao. It's just that the demon beast Neidan has a yin and evil power, which can make people's hair stand up cold and lose their essence. But this crystal is really no different from ordinary crystals, but it's a pity that Fang Zhen's cultivation is completely lost, otherwise he will use his true qi to probe it.

Suddenly, there was a noise in the distance, which made Fang Zhen, who was intoxicated with fantasy, sit up immediately, and looked at the direction where the sound came from in surprise. Without hesitation, he took the scepter and quickly rushed in that direction. ---------------------------------------------------

"Why is it so strange here, how can there not be a single monster in Longbottom Forest, and you can't hear any sound, Grandpa Mark, what do you say is going on here. Is there really a god who has been here?, and why can't I detect anything with a probe scroll?" asked a red-clothed girl sitting on a long-eared horse in a delicate voice to the gray-robed old man walking beside her.

"Miss, I don't know what happened here, I only know that hundreds of years ago, there was a powerful man Longbottom who fell here, according to legend, he fought with another strong man, but he was defeated and died, and the great war at that time leveled the mountains here, so the predecessor of this forest was a mountain range, but it was razed and evolved into a forest, and a scholar came here and named this forest after this strong man. Once I passed by here, many of the demonic beasts here were below the fifth order. But now, something must have happened to make all the monsters migrate. The gray-robed old man thought about it and said slowly. He himself wondered why the forest had suddenly fallen silent.

The girl in red was greatly disinterested. At this time, one of the two attendants behind him stroked his chin as a blue-haired young man wearing a robe and holding a long staff. "But a crack in the earth suddenly appeared outside the Longbottom Forest, and the flying demonic beast is okay to say, the land walking demonic beast can't cross it, the crack is a mile wide, unless it is an eighth- or ninth-order demonic beast can jump over. Even if the cracks only appeared after the migration left, the earth cracks would definitely cause earth tremors, but I didn't hear from the nearby villagers that there were earth tremors during this time. After bowing his head, he secretly glanced at the girl in red, this young man was a little suspicious of selling his knowledge.

"You have a point, but Sayles, you know, the presence of cracks in the earth does not necessarily cause the earth to tremble. The gray-robed old man squinted his eyes slightly.

"I said since I didn't have much to gain here, I might as well go back. The other attendant, a yellow-haired young man wearing armor and carrying a giant sword, asked expectantly.

"Gavi, you want to eat again, right, I said that your belly is not so big, but when you came, you ate a portion of five people, and you still want to eat. The girl in red rolled her eyes at Kegarvey. Garvey just rubbed his head and smiled innocently.

"Who!" Suddenly, the gray-robed old man Mark sensed something, instantly took out a long sword, and shouted in a deep voice at a bush. The other three were also awakened by the cheers of the gray-robed old man, and they were also vigilant as Mark looked at the bushes.

I saw a strange man in a strange dress with a long staff in his hand coming out of the bushes. A very helpless expression. It was Fang Zhen.

"Who are you?" said the gray-robed old man in a deep and confused voice. The other three were a little curious, because the whole forest was silent, and it was so strange that a living person came out at this time.

Fang Zhen shrugged, his helplessness even worse. Because he was watching the group of people just now, and also heard their conversation, Fang Zhen listened very carefully, but he still couldn't understand which language they were speaking. So there will be a scene of chickens and ducks talking.

Fang Zhen could only use his actions and gestures to show that he did not have any hostility, while speaking in Chinese that they did not understand, and from time to time in other languages he had learned. But Fang Zhen didn't know that the long staff he was waving with his own hands was being stared at with great interest by the girl in red.

Fortunately, Fang Zhen had a similar experience and gained some skills in behavioral expression, and the gray-robed old man and others also knew from the information expressed by Fang Zhen that Fang Zhen was a hunter who was lost and couldn't get out.

Fang Zhen saw that the other party was gradually retracting his vigilance, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, because he felt that the gray-robed old man was very powerful, with a strong murderous aura, and with a strong coercion, he felt that he could at least kill him in an instant. Even if he was at his peak before, he couldn't pass a few moves without using the jade talisman. As long as you misexpress a little hostility, then you will die.

Then Fang Zhen continued to use behavioral postures to express the message that he wanted the other party to take him out of here. After the gray-robed old man understood Fang Zhen's intentions, he looked at the girl in red with inquiring eyes. The girl in red rolled her eyes and nodded slightly.

Fang Zhen's hanging heart finally let go, thinking that as long as I got out of this birdcage, then I would be able to go to Lao Dao and them. But the crowd was dressed in a strange way, and the horse had ears longer than a rabbit. Did they just finish Harry Potter? or are they going to play The Lord of the Rings 4? No matter, let's go out first, as long as I get out of this damn jungle, I'm not going to be as unlucky as Robinson.

Fang Zhen walked happily towards the gray-robed old man and the others, but at this time, the red-clothed girl took out a green leaf and a leather scroll and handed it to the gray-robed old man, and said a few words softly, only to see that the gray-robed old man was a little anxious and wanted to refuse the red-robed girl, but in the end, under the explanation and firm eyes of the red-clothed girl, she reluctantly took the leaves and rolled up and walked in front of Fang Zhen, sighed lightly, and tore the scroll under Fang Zhen's puzzled face. Then a burst of leaves emitted a burst of green light, which shot into Fang Zhen's eyebrows at great speed, and disappeared in a flash.

Before Fang Zhen could think about it, he felt that his brain was cold, very comfortable, and suddenly a large number of unknown words flowed into his mind like flowing water, Fang Zhen couldn't help but close his eyes.

After a long time, Fang Zhen opened his eyes and saw the gray-robed old man and others quietly looking at him.

"Your Excellency, do you understand what I said?" the gray-robed old man asked before Fang Zhen could speak.

Strange, Fang Zhen actually understood the words of the gray-robed old man!

"Of course, of course. Since he could understand it, he would be able to speak, Fang Zhen tried to say a few words, and found that he said it very clearly, although it lacked a little fluency. "But this... ”

"This is the natural language of the Church of Nature, which allows you to learn our language. Before Fang Zhen could ask questions, the gray-robed old man gave an explanation. "For the sake of your better walk with us, Your Excellency, we have paid such precious words of nature, I think you should reciprocate. The gray-robed old man said very painfully, but his eyes were aimed at the Sky Scepter in Fang Zhen's hand.

As the king of exploration, Fang Zhen has also been rolling in society for so many years, where does he not know the intentions of the gray-robed old man. I was a little hesitant at the moment.

Fang Zhen rolled his eyes, took out the blue-gray crystal bead, and said, "Can I exchange this for this?" I picked it up in this forest. ”

The gray-robed old man glanced at it and said, "This is just a seventh-order wind system demon core, although it is a little mutated, but its value is far less than the precious language of nature, I think Your Excellency should have a good choice if you are interested." A gleam flashed in his eyes as he spoke.

To tell the truth, although the Sky Scepter only had the body of the scepter left, there was no value for Fang Zhen to use, but Fang Zhen was reluctant to trade it, because it was exchanged for Zhuang Jian's life. For Fang Zhen, the scepter of the Sky Scepter was full of Zhuang Jian's breath, and it was Zhuang Jian's last gift to Fang Zhen. But now, seeing a hint of threat flashing in the gray-robed old man's eyes, Fang Zhen could only compromise on it. Immediately stroked the scepter a few times, remembering the lines and runes on the scepter. Reluctantly handed it to the gray-robed old man.

"This is a treasure inherited from my family, but I don't know what it is for, since you have used such a precious language of nature so that I can communicate with you, I have nothing to repay you, but to use it in return. After speaking, Fang Zhen pursed his lips. But I'm still glad I found the secret of the Scepter, otherwise I'd have died. Thinking of this, Fang Zhen touched the silver-white ring on the index finger of his right hand.

The gray-robed old man took the scepter with satisfaction, for he could also see the value of the scepter. Because the lines and runes on it exude an ancient atmosphere. Coupled with the dull body of the staff, it is even more indicative that this is an ancient treasure. The most important thing is that the scepter faintly emits a pale blue clear light, which is only indistinguishable from some low-level powerhouses and ordinary people, as well as the original holder Fang Zhen. The girl in red was able to see the meaning of the scepter because she had a certain treasure on her.

"Alright, Your Excellency, come out with us, and I hope you will tell me what has happened in this Longbottom Forest. After carefully observing the scepter, the gray-robed old man smiled at Fang Zhen and said.

It turns out that this forest is called Longbottom Forest, how come I haven't heard of it on Earth?" Fang Zhen thought to himself.

"Of course, if you don't listen to me, I've been bored for a long time. Fang Zhen had to say with a smile on his face.

Unexpectedly, I also have times of flattery. Fang Zhen thought very depressedly, but in order to protect himself and allow himself to go out, he could only do this. Then he walked side by side with the gray-robed old man and walked out of the forest.
