In the afternoon of the next day, the plain reached the end, and in front of us was a vast primeval forest. Xia Lei saw a giant tree on the edge of the forest. It was at least thirty meters in diameter. The crown of the tree was opened like a giant umbrella, covering an area of thousands of square meters. The trunk is covered with bryophytes and vines, which make the giant tree appear even larger. Xia Lei has never seen such a huge tree, but such trees are everywhere in the forest, and they are not the biggest.
This forest may be millions of years old, Xia Lei had such a guess in his mind.
"This is the resting forest, a place where humans are banned." Lanjier said: "Are you sure you want to go in? If you regret it now, you can still go back."
"Regret?" Xia Lei smiled, "I won't regret it."
"You could die in there and no one would come out alive."
Xia Lei said: "Didn't you come out alive?"
Lanjier said: "I am different from you, I am an Ahimisian, and this is our land."
"Okay, lead the way." Xia Lei never thought about going back. It was indeed dangerous to enter the Forest of Rest, and he might even die in it, but he was not afraid. In addition, he has a partner that even Lan Jier doesn't know about, that is Blue Dragon Rihua, so he still has a certain degree of confidence.
"Okay, come with me." Lanjier took the lead towards the Resting Forest, "But I have to tell you, if you die, don't expect me to help you collect your body." ""
Xia Lei just smiled and followed Lan Jier into the forest.
The moment he walked into the forest, Xia Lei had a strange feeling. It felt like he had entered another world. There seemed to be an invisible barrier at the edge of the forest, and he had just passed through that barrier.
Suddenly, the power of the brand awakens and recovers bit by bit. The awakening of the brand power startled Xia Lei. He couldn't help but stop and carefully observe the sudden changes in his body.
"What are you standing for? Do you regret it?" Lan Jier looked back at Xia Lei.
Xia Lei suddenly stepped back.
"You?" Lan Jier suddenly laughed, "Coward! You are nothing more than that. Go back. You can still go back now and live your romantic and happy days with your eight little girls. .”
Xia Lei didn't seem to hear her voice. His expression was very serious, but his eyes were full of surprise and joy. If the resting forest is not affected by the blue moon and his brand power energy can be used normally, then it shouldn't be particularly difficult for him to enter and exit the resting forest. Moreover, the awakening of the power of the brand means the return of his ability, and the return of his ability will help him find the answer!
However, just when he exited the Resting Forest, the energy of the Brand Power suddenly fell into dormancy again. The feeling of suddenly transforming from a human to a mortal was very uncomfortable. In this attempt, he has come to the conclusion that the resting forest has its own energy field, which is not limited by the blue moon in the sky!
Xia Lei was filled with surprise, "Is this because of the energy tree? Or maybe it's because there is a large amount of spiritual minerals here. The energy released by the spiritual minerals forms a natural energy field, which just offsets Lan Yue's energy. Energy field?”
"Coward." Lan Jier glanced at Xia Lei with disdain, then turned and left.
Xia Lei chased after him, "Wait for me."
"Why did you come in again? Are you too repetitive?" Lan Jier's mouth was unforgiving.
Xia Lei smiled, "I didn't want to go back just because I was afraid, I just tested my feelings."
"Test your feeling?" Lan Jier looked at Xia Lei with strange eyes.
Xia Lei said: "Yes, did you have any strange feeling the moment you entered the Resting Forest, as if you suddenly squeezed into a soap bubble?"
"What are soap bubbles?"
"Well, let me use another metaphor. It's like bubbles of saliva. Do you have that feeling?" Xia Lei looked at Lan Jier expectantly.
"You are sick." Lan Jier looked away and continued to move forward.
Xia Lei followed her footsteps, "Don't be like this, tell me, this is very important to me."
Lanjier said: "There is no feeling of being squeezed into soap bubbles or saliva bubbles as you mentioned. There is only a feeling of going home, very friendly."
Xia Lei still had many questions in his mind, but he gave up as soon as the words came to his lips. After all, Lan Jier is not a person whose body has fully evolved. She doesn't even have the power of imprinting in her body. How can she feel the feeling of squeezing into the energy field? The friendly feeling she mentioned was just a normal feeling after leaving hometown and then returning to it. There was nothing to be curious about.
As he went deeper, Xia Lei found that the energy of the Brand Power in his body was getting lower and lower under the influence of the blue moon. After about two kilometers, it completely disappeared, and the energy of his Brand Power also completely returned. Activated all the abilities in him.
The return of clairvoyance, micro-vision, far-sightedness, scanning, and better hearing than a hunting dog allows him to control the environment around him to the extreme. He could see insects crawling on a tree trunk a thousand meters away, and he could hear birds chirping hundreds of meters away. He could see the pores on Lanjier's skin and the semen contained in the pores. The semen was obviously not sweat, but the substance that made up the mucous membrane.
This unintentional observation made him suddenly understand why the Athymis people did not wear underwear. Their pores would release the substance that forms the mucous membrane, and then form the mucous membrane. If they wear underwear... his The image of Lanjier angrily grabbing at the fabric stuck somewhere suddenly appeared in his mind. That image was unbearable to witness.
Along the way, Xia Lei also saw many human skeletons. Their corpses had no flesh and blood tissue, leaving only white bones. Some bones were even moldy and had moss growing on them. Their belongings were almost rotten, but some of them could still identify the year and manufacturer of production.
Xia Lei found a leather bag next to a skeleton. The leather bag was buried in the soil, with only the strap exposed. He saw the strap of the leather bag, and then looked through the ground to find a leather bag in the dirt. When he grabbed the strap and tried to pull the bag out, the strap broke. He took out the bag with his saber.
The leather bag inside the mud was relatively well preserved because it was not in direct contact with the air. The zipper was made of aluminum alloy and was not rusty. He shook off the dirt on the zipper, and the zipper could still be opened.
After opening the bag, he found a camera, a notebook, a pen and some small items, such as a knife for trimming armor, and a wallet. The wallet was bulging and looked like it contained a lot of things.
Xia Lei saw the wallet open and saw what was inside. There is an ID card with the deceased's information on it: Kanter, a citizen of District 1, was born on August 3, 1418 in the new century, and his residential address is No. 78, Building 23, Pacific Street, Holy City.
There is also some information on the ID card such as blood type, height and weight, but Xia Lei is no longer interested in that trivial information. What interests him is the birth date of the citizen named Kanter. He secretly said in his heart: "This man named Kanter was born in 1o18 of the new century. What era was that in? The era of Sheng Ray? Or the era after Sheng Ray's death? Or the era before Sheng Ray
Of the three possibilities, the last one is the least likely to exist. The first and second possibilities are very high, but no matter which one is the correct answer. It was this seemingly simple ABC multiple-choice question that stumped Xia Lei. He took Kanter's ID card and asked Lan Jier, "Have you seen this kind of ID?"
Lanjier took a look and said, "No, it must be a very ancient thing. Human beings today will not use these things."
"The year 1018 in the new century, what year is this?" Xia Lei asked again.
There was a trace of disdain on the corner of Lan Jier's mouth, "The year 1018 in the new century, that is the concept of time set by you humans. We don't have any age, and we Ashimis people have no concept of time. In our Assisi Time does not exist in the Mish people’s concept, we believe in the existence of reincarnation.”
"You don't believe in time and reincarnation? What kind of reincarnation?" Xia Lei was immediately attracted to his interest.
Lanjier said: "You die here and you are reborn elsewhere."
Xia Lei was stunned for a moment, "What does this mean?"
Lanjier said: "Go and ask the old man in our tribe, if he can accept you. I can't answer your question because I don't understand it either."
Xia Lei nodded, "I went back to ask."
Lanjier said: "But you have to be careful, the people in the tribe don't like you humans. I heard the old people in the tribe said that the humans during the Holy Thunder period were very hateful, digging for minerals and black oil everywhere, and destroying the environment. You guys Cities are rising one after another, sprouting up like mushrooms after the rain, but the sky is no longer blue and the river is no longer clear. But it’s okay now, you’re almost finished, everything is normal.”
Xia Lei smiled bitterly, "There are also good people. Not all people are bad people. Just like me, I am a good person. I will not hurt you, and I will save you when you are in danger, right?"
Lanjier said: "No, I am not targeting you, nor you humans. You are actually quite pitiful. You thought you conquered the world, but now you have become the food of the Blue Moon people, just like animals. You were hunted by the Blue Moon people. But what I can't understand is that you are all at the critical moment of destruction. You are still unable to unite to fight against the Blue Moon people. Instead, you kill each other, rack your brains to seek benefits for yourself, and enjoy the final madness. I know you want to solve some mysteries and become a hero who saves the world, but I think your efforts are in vain."
Xia Lei couldn't resent Lan Jier for saying such things, because what she said was true.
"I don't want to be a hero, I just want to solve some of the confusions in my heart, find the answers, and then go home." Xia Lei said.
"where is your house?"
"It's far away." Xia Lei continued to look through the contents of his wallet.
Lan Jier raised the corner of her mouth. She was obviously dissatisfied with Xia Lei's obviously deceptive statement.
Xia Lei found a few coins from his wallet, but because they were too old together, the colors, patterns, and numbers on the coins had all disappeared, and all that was left was paper that would rot when touched. Money is full of bacteria, and even in the soil they can multiply and destroy the item they host.
"Are you leaving? What's so interesting about dead people's things?" Lan Jier said.
"Let's go." Xia Lei saw the wallet and ID card placed on "Kante", and then took away the camera and notebook inside the bag. As he walked, he resisted the notebook.
Adventurers love to write adventure diaries, and Kanter is no exception. Xia Lei opened the notebook and saw the contents inside, but his heart sank because the handwriting could no longer be read clearly.
