Technological practice: leading the human race to the stars

Chapter 126 The Spirit of Nature
"Did you two murder my child?"

A roar came from deep in the woods, and the sound was mixed with a powerful aura, causing the surrounding source beasts to flee from their hiding places. Only Yuanze remained standing.

He knew very well that the power of the source beast in front of him was far beyond his ability to deal with. Even if his master was present, he would probably only be able to escape unscathed.

In his experience, there were only three people who could bring him such mental pressure: Zhang Zhisheng, Chen Shuai and his master, all of whom were scout-level source warriors.

Then, what he had to face was a scout-level source beast, and he couldn't escape. Moreover, Dai Hui had just been abducted, and his life or death was unknown, so he couldn't just abandon him like that.

"Not both of us!"

The depths of the forest became silent, and only a rustling sound could be heard, as if something was passing through the lawn and coming to Yuanze.

The moonlight shines through the gaps in the treetops, casting mottled silver light, and a figure gradually emerges from the depths of the forest.

As she walked, silver light flowed on her face, reflecting a pure and translucent face, as delicate as a mountain spring.

What caught people's attention was her hair which was tied up at the back of her head, with silver light flowing on it, shimmering with a soft luster and looking very smooth.

Following the light, I looked down from the hair ends, and found that the black hair was covered with sharp thorns, on which grew black flowers, blooming quietly in the night.
She was wearing a turquoise short skirt, the end of the skirt was slightly yellow, and it fluttered gently with her steps, as if the elves in the forest were dancing.

Behind her, Dai Hui was tied tightly with various thorny chains, as if he was cursed to sleep and could not move at all.

On her left shoulder sat the ginseng baby, its legs fully recovered and its little face filled with a smile.

"Do you want to get him?"

The mysterious woman asked softly, while handing the baby, tied up with thorns, to Yuanze. The baby didn't even look at him, and tried to struggle to escape from the restraints.

He clasped his hands together and rejected her at first, then saw that Shenwa had returned to her shoulder, and then he slowly spoke: "I did have this thought, but his injury was not caused by us."

Yuanze knew that lies were useless in front of a nature spirit whose spiritual power was stronger than his, so he might as well tell everything in detail, at least to show some sincerity.

"Oh? Then you have the same chance."

Several thorns suddenly sprouted around Yuanze's body, forming a cage that trapped him inside.

At this time, Chanwa seemed to see clearly who was coming and whispered something in her ear, which made her suddenly change her words.

"But I'm not unreasonable. Shenwa told me that it was your presence that gave him the chance to escape, so I'll give you two a chance too."

"May I ask what the opportunity is?"

"Haha, come in and you'll know."

Yuanze suddenly felt a strong sense of sleepiness. He realized that the spirit of nature in front of him was hypnotizing him.

Although his nerves instinctively resisted hypnosis, he still fell into a coma due to the interference of the plant's unique radio waves.

"Why does this human boy make me so tired!" The Spirit of Nature frowned. This was beyond her expectations.

When Yuanze opened his eyes again, he found himself in a maze full of thorns and towering trees.

However, his consciousness was unusually clear, because he could clearly feel the power of "flow" constantly analyzing this small world, so this was not the real world.

Yuanze immediately understood that this was the emotional space of the spirit of nature, and that putting herself into a dream was also an expression of her emotion.

In this case, he can use the "flow" to explore this maze and find the true emotions of the nature spirit. As long as he finds the key to this emotion, the maze will collapse and he can return to the real world.

Her mind is very complicated, so it is a maze with twists and turns, deliberately making it impossible for people who enter here to find the correct answer, so he has to rely on Astra's ability.

"Astra, how's the route planning going?"

"Soon, I already have a goal."

Then, a simple map appeared in front of Yuanze, with a red dot marked on it.

"What is this red dot? Why is it still moving?"

Astra rolled her eyes at him and said, "Didn't you mark Dai Hui's emotional world before? Now it's in use."

"I didn't keep it here originally."

"It's okay. The mark can't be erased within the area."

It turns out that this world constructed by emotions is the realm of natural spirits, which is similar to Wu Kou's realm.

It’s just that Wu Kou’s domain acts on the body, while the domain of the spirit of nature acts on the brain.

This field constructed in the brain reminded Yuanze of the feeling of using the brain-computer interface. The two are very similar.

It’s just that that was a virtual digital world, while this is a world made up of emotions.

This area does not put too much pressure on Yuanze, who also has strong mental power. All mental power effects can take effect directly regardless of the distance.

After hearing Astra's explanation, Yuanze suddenly realized what was going on, and released his mental power to send map information directly to Wu Kou, hoping that he could come to the center to join him as soon as possible.

Before, when Wu Kou was captured by the Spirit of Nature, he found himself in this maze in a daze.

He clearly remembered that he was standing next to Yuanze just now, but suddenly he came to this strange place.

"Am I dreaming?" Dai Hui slapped himself hard. The pain was very real, not like a dream.

In this way, he walked aimlessly in this maze for a long time, and his emotions even reached the brink of autism at one point.

However, just when he was about to collapse, Yuan Ze's information suddenly came into his mind.

Seeing this information, Wu Kou seemed to see the dawn of hope. He cheered up and moved forward according to the instructions on the map.

Not long after, he finally arrived at the center of the maze and saw Yuanze staring at the clear spring in the center.

There were a few fallen leaves floating on the water, seemingly frozen in time in this world. No matter how hard I tried to fan them, there was no movement.

Wu Kou could clearly feel that the breath of this clear spring was completely different from that of other parts of the maze. It exuded a warm and peaceful atmosphere, which formed a sharp contrast with the anger and sadness around it.

The next second, Yuan Ze, who was immersed in it, disappeared right before his eyes, which made him panic.
