Chapter 17 The Forest of Fireflies
The earth was devastated, as if it had been ploughed by an iron plough, and the rifts that crisscrossed it were as ugly as unwatered farmland in a time of drought. At the edge of the forest in the distance, mountains rose from the ground, and the vast plains were transformed into mountains by this terrible earthquake.
The heavy clouds in the sky had thinned a little, and it was vaguely judged that it was dusk.
The two of them looked at the devastated land in silence, like tiny ants looking up at the towering giant trees, trembling and their hearts full of awe. The power of nature pulled the two back from the fantasy world.......
It took a long time for the two of them to calm down the fear in their hearts..........
"If you want nothing else, please get off my back, and take your hand off my chest when you come down, thank you!" Ye Zi was expressionless.
Zhou Nan seemed to have woken up from a big dream, and staggered off the beauty's back, rubbing his hands with embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't want to do it......"
"Shameless especially ......" Ye Muyun didn't bother to pay attention to such a small person, diverted her attention and looked at her body, and was silent.
Zhou Nan stood aside and was amazed, at this time, Ye Muyun was covered with a faint crystal light, like a standing crystal sculpture. The beautiful and straight black hair seemed to ripple slightly in the air as if it was not affected by gravity, and the subtle electric light jumped and flickered. A pair of crystal clear eyes are full of divine light, and the gaze sweeps to make people sweat coldly.
"How are you feeling now?
Ye Zi shook her head slightly, and she walked a few steps and jumped a few times to familiarize herself with her greatly strengthened body. Suddenly, the light in Ye Muyun's eyes skyrocketed, and she turned around and hurriedly rushed towards Zhou Nan!
The electric light around his body burst out, and the rubble under his feet splashed, leaving an afterimage in the air!
Zhou Nan's pupils contracted suddenly, his heart twitched the blood around his body with all his strength like an engine about to burst, and a strange sense of time appeared as promised, and the swaying grass around him suddenly stopped!
Before Zhou Nan could retreat, the fair-skinned Xiu Fist had already stopped in front of him! The powerful fist pressure brought a howling wind wave across Zhou Nan's cheeks and blew ripples! The body stiffened suddenly, beads of sweat the size of beans slid through the corners of his eyes, and the riotous heart instantly shrank into his chest and was no longer unassuming.
"Gollum!" waited until Ye Zi slowly withdrew his fist, Zhou Nan hurriedly swallowed and stoodled back.
"This is your current strength?" Zhou Nan asked in surprise.
Ye Muyun looked at her show fist suspiciously, and shook her head, "It's much more than that......." She frowned and deliberated her words to describe her current feelings to Zhou Nan, "It seems that this is just a little bit of energy overflowing from that crystal fruit that has transformed my body, and the strength of my current body is not enough to withstand its power." ”
Ye Muyun stroked her left chest, "I felt it stop in my heart, beating with my heart, constantly inputting a stream of heat into my meridians"
Ye Zi raised his head and looked at Zhou Nan, "This is a strange power, some of which flow through the meridians like the internal force described in martial arts novels, swim around the whole body and then return to the heart, endlessly......."
"Is there a way to control it, can it be released or in what way can it be revealed?" Zhou Nan was curious.
Ye Zi calmed down and tried hard for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, it's still too weak, I can't affect it now......"
Zhou Nan was quite regretful, "Okay, let's try it slowly in the future" He looked at Ye Zijing's body, "Your appearance is a little scary now, can you turn off the special effects?"
Ye Zi carefully felt the state of her body, as if she had gained something, she slowly walked to a 100-kilogram rock and stood straight, then bent down with her left foot as the center, and raised her right leg high in the air.
Zhou Nan was amazed, and even the flexibility of his body had been greatly enhanced, and he had already begun to fantasize about what posture he should use in the future.......
"Boom!"
The leaf instantly split out his right foot, and the glow and lightning all around his body were flourishing, and the rocks the size of the grinding plate exploded like tofu, and Zhou Nan was forced to retreat again and again by the bullet-like gravel.
The power of a kick is terrifying........
When the stone powder fell to the ground, Zhou Nan looked fixedly, and the light around the leaves had faded and returned to the appearance of ordinary people.
"How many tons of power did you pull out with this kick? I regret eating all the broken fruit for you......." Zhou Nan teased, but he didn't care much in his heart, he felt in his heart that such a thing was not suitable for him, and he didn't know where this inexplicable feeling came from.
"Whew~" Ye Zi often let out a breath, "After this light dissipates, I feel that my body is not so powerful......."
After the sun's glimmer was obscured by the horizon, the temperature around it dropped significantly. The two of them are now physically different from ordinary people, and they don't care so much.
The jungle at the end of the road not far away was glowing with fluorescence, which was the light emitted by the alienation of the tree's own chloroplasts, and the green fluorescence was swaying in a trance, ghostly.
The strange whistling sound of one after another was in his ears, and Zhou Nan suddenly remembered that it seemed that animals and insects had rarely been seen since the great water descended into the world. Now, for example, there is not half a mosquito in the wilderness at night. In the old days, moths would have taken over every inch of the sky.
Ye Zi faced this forest of fireflies, and there was a rare hesitation on his face.
"Do you still want to go and see it?" Zhou Nan asked. "I feel that this jungle is very dangerous, it's so weird that it can grow like this in just a few days! You can see the earthquake during the day, there are cracks everywhere outside, and this forest doesn't seem to have any effect.......
"Well, if I don't figure out whether the warriors inside are dead or alive, I can't settle down~" Although the leaves are soft, they are extremely firm.
"Let's rest outside the forest for the night now, and then go in tomorrow. You listen to this ghost crying wolf, if you go in now, you may risk your own life!" Zhou Nan didn't want to take this risk, so he persuaded him.
Before they knew it, they had wandered to the edge of the jungle. Looking through the fluorescence, dense alienated forest vines crowded every inch of space in the forest, and there seemed to be an invisible barrier outside the forest to block these grass and tree spirits, and only a few normal weeds grew.
Ye Zi looked back at Zhou Nan and said calmly, "I know it's very dangerous inside, so I have to hurry up and get in, if there are still soldiers who survive, they must urgently need my help now!"
Zhou Nan lowered his head and was silent.
Most people in the world are selfish, but there are some people around everyone who radiate pure brilliance in their hearts. And what they think and do will always make people feel ashamed.
"You just wait here and don't have to venture with me, I'll come out after I confirm the status of the base, and I'll go with you to the village tomorrow to help you get your friends out." I am a soldier, and it is my duty to help my comrades-in-arms and civilians. After speaking, Ye Zi patted Zhou Nan's shoulder. In her heart, Zhou Nan is just an ordinary person with a bit of bravery, and such a risky thing is not suitable for Zhou Nan, who has not experienced any training and has not experienced life and death threats.
"By the way, although I don't know why, I thank you for giving me that strange fruit!" After saying this, Ye Zi turned around and walked into the jungle decisively, and soon disappeared from Zhou Nan's sight.
.................................
Even though she was prepared, she was still surprised by the wonders of going deep into the jungle.
Giant trees that can only be hugged by two or three people abound, towering into the sky. The arm-thick wisteria glows fluorescently and suffocates at a glance, and the bushes are overgrown and alien plants everywhere. Sen's cold green light filled the eyeballs, making Ye feel as if he was looking at the world with night vision goggles.
The air was filled with a sweet smell, and the leaves followed the smell to find a strange tree covered with thorns but without a single leaf. The dense red fruits at the end of the thorns swayed slightly with a ripe and sweet luster, tempting innocent lives to come forward. The ground at the base of the strange tree was red and bright, and my intuition told the leaves that the ground was full of blood. Strangely, there were no animal corpses.
"Pop", a ripe vermilion fruit leaves the tree that raised it and the thorns fall into the earth.
The fruit rolled over the thin green vines attached to the ground, and suddenly the green vines burst out like a dormant poisonous snake, and the weak tender strips pierced through the fruit with a loud sound!
Squeak squeak.........
The sound of chewing sounded, and the alluring vermilion lost its luster in the blink of an eye, turning into a shriveled and yellow core. Realizing that it could no longer absorb nutrients, the high-spirited shoots slowly fell back to the ground.
Hiss......... Before the young branches fell to the ground, the emerald green branches emitted strange gray smoke and dispersed into wisps of dust.
On the branch in front of it, a poisonous snake of almost the same color as the tree spits purple snake letter behind the leaves, and the murderous intent in the snake's eyes is awe-inspiring.
Not far away, a little silver flickered behind the bushes. The silent jungle hides murderous opportunities.
Looking back, I couldn't see where I came from. Ye Muyun wondered, is this ........... really the earth?
