A City in the Forest (1)

Gulan's mansion is in the center of the Ninth District, which is the city of Feather Peak. The city hadn't taken off and was still on the ground, so we simply left the Hanging City and reached the Southwest Forest through portals (rune-stone structures, similar to gates).

Now, we have taken refuge in a secluded place full of the smell of primeval forests, commonly known as the drill ravine.

"Although there is nothing here, it is safe, and according to the aftermath, there are the fewest monsters that have invaded here, and there is almost no destruction in the area. ”

After entering the forest, we had walked for thirty minutes, and the passage was silent, only the insects and birds were singing, and the trees covered the sky and the sun, so that the surrounding area was more and more secluded, and the smell of rotten leaves lingered, so painful......

"Hey, hey, it's just a forest, are you sure this is the campus?"

I haven't found any traces of human civilization since I came in, and it really doesn't look like it's inhabited. It's so primitive that I wouldn't be surprised if Brandon Fraser (Tarzan) suddenly pops out bare-chested.

Gu Lan replied, "The Xuanyou Forest is the second largest forest known to date, and it is not only the appearance of it, but it is actually very desolate and inaccessible. There seems to be a lack of everything here except wood, and it took the college ten years to develop less than one percent of the area, and no one can do anything about this forest. ”

"Miss Gulan," Ye Ming looked at the surrounding trees, "These trees are of a single variety, so ...... in this case"

There is a single species of tree in the woods, which is not a good sign as it can easily get lost.

"Don't worry, I'm not going the wrong way," Gu Lan shook the compass in his hand, "It's really easy to get lost here, so ordinary people won't come, it's the most deserted of the nine districts, and it happens to be the least affected place in three days." ”

"Doesn't anyone come all year round......" I wondered, "will there be any wild people?"

"How is that possibleβ€”"

"No, or maybe it's possible," Ye Ming pointed behind us, "You don't think that counts." ”

The two of us followed his direction and saw two figures chasing through the trees, one with a black head and a cow's skull, the other covered in a green camouflage suit.

The situation in front of them seemed to be that the black African savage was chasing the green jungle savage in front of him, and the two of them were very skillful, moving through the woods as nimbly as apes, swift and quiet. The grass, the trunks, the branches, the leaves, and the rocks were unmoved after they whizzed, reflecting the strange movements of the two men.

No matter how light a person is, he can't do it to the point where the wind is gone, Ye Ming muttered: "This light skill is really not something that human beings can do......

"Just, let's just pretend I didn't see it......"

"yes. ”

With the help of a compass and a map, we quickly found a path and came to a town carved out of the woods, or rather a small town, because if you look down on the settlement, you will find that there are five or six towns of the same size in the vicinity, surrounded by a lumberyard forming a large tribe, which shows that the construction is very low.

"Ahh

Gulan waved his hand in response and said to us, "She is my housekeeper and helps me with housekeeping, you can just call her Tia." ”

This housekeeper is very young, one or two years younger than Ye Ming, she is beautiful and upright, friendly and cute, she has a hanging bun on her head, she looks very weak and caring, and she has no housekeeper's calmness and calmness.

Tia trotted over to greet you: "You're finally here, I've been waiting for a long time, I'm afraid you'll get lost." ”

"It's too much," said Gu Lan, impatiently, like a child's attitude towards his parents during the rebellious period, "I'm not a child, you might as well worry that you'll get lost." ”

Tia lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry, I was overthinking." ”

"Lead the way. Gulan turned back to me and explained, "I bought a house here, and I asked her to take care of it in advance, and the food and clothes are very complete, which is enough to cope with the riot until the riot is over." ”

"I don't think there's anything to worry about food and lodging, I'll just ask," I asked, "how long will the commotion last?"

"For a week or so, I'm not sure if anything will happen, so I asked Tia to prepare some more consumables, just in case. ”

The housekeeper Tia took us to a beautiful house, which was small but warmly furnished inside and out. Flower beds, paintings, furniture, decorations, everything can be seen that a lot of thought has been put into it.

But Gu Lan, the head of the family, is not a person who cares about the details of life: "Why are you so finely arranged, I don't live here permanently." ”

Tia smiled as gently as the setting sun and replied, "Even if you only stay for one afternoon, I'll take care of it." ”

"Oh, you go down first. Gu Lan replied casually, and then said to us: "Let's rest first, and then we have to come out in the middle of the night to do activities, and we have to take care of our spirits." ”

Ye Ming said: "Activity?"

"Because there happens to be a ruin nearby, and there is a treasure hidden in it. ”

It's very attractive, but I still ask a very scathing question:

"Well, will there be a similar ...... in your ruins here? Ghosts and other supernormal phenomena, such as deceitful corpses, "The ruins, of course, were built to commemorate so-and-so, of course, we will offend the original owner if we run to dig randomly," It's not that I'm suspicious, but some people in our hometown like to spread falsehoods, rumors will dig up all kinds of rice dumplings or something, and they look very sorry, and they suddenly come out to surprise people......"

I thought that GΓΌran would wave her hand and tell me that it was okay, but she thought about it for a moment before she said slowly, "Noβ€”right?"

I was shocked, "What the hell, is there any? Can you tell me no?"

"Don't make a fuss," Gulan looked confident, "be careful, you won't have to." ”

"Enough! I won't believe in this narcissist's blind confidence anymore, and you still want to fool me, "Don't forget that this is a different world crossing, don't you mean that you will definitely let us bump into it?"

"No, the natives here are in awe of that place, and if we dig in the light, we will be discovered sooner or later. ”

"Why are you more afraid of people than ghosts, are you still normal?" I turned back to Ye Ming and said, "Ah Ming, you said two words about her!"

"Oh......" Ye Ming held back for a moment before expressing his opinion, "I don't believe in these heresies of ghosts and gods. ”

"Excuse me, don't you just come out of the magic arena?

Ye Ming was very stubborn: "I know, it's actually all an illusion, and it must have used some kind of mechanism." In short, it's all hallucinations, and it doesn't scare me. ”

Why do you have such an inexplicable insistence in such a place, do you still believe in science here? This idea itself is not scientific, is it okay?

No, I'm determined not to dig up the graves of red dried corpses or carnivorous cockroaches at night! The horror is secondary, think about how disgusting that is, how much stronger is that than when it lies there for decades to centuries without petrification......

"The big exam has now begun, and the possibility of new students making trouble cannot be ruled out. We don't have much time, we have to go as soon as possible, take a break and go. Gu Lan summed it up, and the majority decided: "Two to one, good, let's all go and rest." ”
