Chapter 130 True Journey Village
"This feeling……"

Hong Ming was surprised and confused: "Why does it feel like his image in my mind has suddenly become so great?"

He was not the only one who felt this way; all the people with village status felt this way.

In their minds, Liu Hen suddenly became great, as if he had become the center of the world, making it difficult for people to look away, but strangely, they dared not look directly at him.

Although the bonfire was put away, that special visibility was not reduced. Except for the lack of firelight, everything in the area was normal.

That is why everyone, including the children, could see Liu Hen dozens of meters away, and they all felt that Liu Hen had suddenly become different.

Those children used to instinctively like to kneel down and worship the bonfire, but when they saw Liu Hen at this moment, they suddenly felt like kneeling down as well.

It seems that as long as they kneel down to worship the village chief, his head will bless them.

While everyone was shocked, Liu Hen felt calm in his heart.

At this moment, he found that his emotions seemed to be locked up and hardly fluctuated.

It was as if some kind of brilliance of human nature was suppressed, and the bonfire seemed to replace one's own heart. Every sway of the bonfire flame was the beating of one's own heart.

As the heart beats, blood gushes out and flows throughout the body. It seems that the blood in the body is absorbing the power of the flame, being washed and assimilated by the flame.

His spirit and energy also changed at this moment. From the inside out, his whole body seemed to be imbued with the power of fire.

Even the bone marrow, body cells, etc. are absorbing the power of the flame, being assimilated by the bonfire, and gradually merging with the bonfire, as if they can no longer be distinguished from each other.

When assimilation is complete and perfect fusion is achieved——

Suddenly, there was a whisper in my ear, as if someone was praying something in my ear.

Those voices were all familiar, they were all the voices of the villagers, but most of them were the voices of children.

The content of the prayers is almost always the hope to have food to eat and not to suffer from hunger and cold again, which is very simple.

However, this sound soon faded away and gradually disappeared completely.

From the time he put away the bonfire to the end of assimilation, his dazed state lasted only a little over half a minute.

Finally, in a dimension invisible to outsiders, the flame of the bonfire shrank from the blood, from the bone marrow, and from the body cells, returning to the heart, turning into a never-extinguished lamp at the heart, and with this position as the center, dispelling darkness and bringing warmth.

Because the main body of this bonfire is not inside the heart, but in the equipment bar of the true self interface, it is difficult for outsiders to destroy it.

As long as the bonfire itself is not destroyed, the fuel is not exhausted, and it is in a burning state, you will not die and your soul fire will be eternal.

When the assimilation was over, Liu Hen's emotions returned to normal and the brilliance of humanity bloomed again.

"Just now... was I merging? Did I merge with this bonfire?"

Liu Hen was shocked and confused.

However, he was sure of one thing: the campfire equipment slot could only hold one campfire, and once placed in, it could not be replaced.

Of course, it's not that it cannot be replaced in the true sense. It's just that before this bonfire is destroyed, even if you take out this bonfire, you cannot equip other bonfires in it.

Because he merged with the bonfire.

He can only replace the next bonfire unless the bonfire itself is destroyed and all traces of it disappear.

"Fortunately, I was cautious enough to wait a little longer."

Otherwise, an energy-level bonfire would be wasted.

He breathed a sigh of relief, which was followed by a deep sense of joy.

Because he discovered that he now possessed the power of the bonfire, the source of this village, and it was permanent.

As long as this bonfire remains burning, he can always activate the absolute property of driving away monsters, and at the same time, he can also possess the special field of calming harmful forces such as strong winds.

Even if it is other attacks, as long as they are defined as harmful forces by oneself, once they get close to oneself, even if they cannot be completely wiped out, they will be greatly weakened.

Like a strong wind, it will die down.

Wherever you go, the ambient temperature around your body will be affected by you and become warm. You will become a walking pure land and a safe zone for walking.

But the benefits of equipping a campfire are far more than that.

Liu Hen was surprised to find that he seemed to have acquired the ability to move between campfires.

As long as it is a bonfire created by oneself, one can move from here to that bonfire in a moment of thought, and then walk out of the flames.

This is equivalent to teleportation, and in this way, one's own safety is greatly improved again.

Even though he could be immortal due to the existence of the bonfire, he could still be injured and there was a possibility that his body would be killed.

Once the body is killed, even if it can be revived again, it may take a long time.

He didn't want to do the experiment to get himself killed. Having been poisoned by various philosophical theories in his previous life, he was worried that the person he would be resurrected after death would no longer be himself.

In addition to these, there is one last point, which is also the most magical one.

That is--

After equipping the village's source bonfire, he assimilated and merged with the bonfire, and he could actually sense Tong Kun's presence.

No matter when or where, he only needs a thought to summon Tong Kun, the only eternal villager at present.

Not only that, in theory, I can move the village with me without having to fold it up completely.

Before this bonfire was equipped, the source bonfire could only be stored in the space backpack.

In that state, the village will be hidden directly until he takes out the bonfire and lights it again, and then the village will reappear.

But now it was different. He had placed this bonfire in his equipment slot. This bonfire, the source of the village, had, in a sense, given him a special 'portable space'. In this state, if he projected the bonfire, a shadow of the village would appear around him, and outsiders could even see the figures of the villagers within the shadowed village.

However, as long as he did not materialize the village, outsiders could not enter the village, and the villagers in the village could not leave.

"Let's try it..."

Liu Hen moved his mind and projected the bonfire projection.

The next moment, Hong Ming and others saw the bonfire that had disappeared reappear.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding fog rolled, covering Liu Hen's figure, and at the same time the originally disappeared building appeared.

The bare, wild mountains beneath my feet have once again become clean and tidy foundations.

The decorative trees reappeared, as did the lockers beneath them, and even the home cannons on top of the surrounding buildings.

Everything seemed to be unchanged.

But everyone felt as if everything had changed, but the villagers with village registration could not tell what had changed specifically.

At this moment, no one could see Liu Hen, but strangely, they could all sense Liu Hen's presence.

"Hey, what's going on outside?"

Hong Ming immediately noticed something was wrong because the edge of the village was covered in white fog and he couldn't see the outside world.

He ran over quickly and arrived at the village entrance, only to find that an invisible barrier had appeared, blocking his way.

"What's going on? Are we trapped here?"

"What did the village chief do?"

"Why can't we see outside?"

Zong Ni also ran over, and even several combat members responsible for patrolling the village hurried over and found that there were barriers not only at the entrance and end of the village, but also above the wall.

It was white outside and nothing could be seen. When they reached out, they could touch a substantial barrier that prevented them from crossing.

"Don't panic, everyone. The village chief is doing some experiments."

Liu Hen's voice came from the campfire.

Everyone quickly turned around to look at the campfire, but saw that there was no one around it.

at the same time.

Outside, in a desolate valley.

The light here was dim, and although visibility was not much reduced, there was no fire.

It was as if an invisible light source illuminated the area within a radius of 100 meters, making the light here much brighter than other places, but this light source had no fixed position, because there were no shadows under the feet of the few combat members who were left outside to guard the gate.

At this moment, the few combat members guarding the gate were staring at Liu Hen in amazement.

In their vision, the village turned into a translucent shadow, moving with Liu Hen's movements.

Liu Hen's figure always overlapped with the bonfire in the center of the village. No matter how he moved, he was always at the bonfire at the source of the village, and the shadow of the village kept moving with him.

But from what they saw inside the village phantom, the people inside the village didn't seem to feel that they were moving.

The few gatekeepers who were left outside were dumbfounded and shocked by this magical sight.

At this moment, in Liu Hen's own feeling, what he saw with his eyes was the desolate mountains outside, but the situation inside the village was reflected in his mind.

"This has truly become a true "Travel Village."

There was a smile in his eyes. This was much more convenient now. He could just move the village wherever he wanted to go, and the villagers would not have to fall into a deep sleep and could continue working.

"grown ups……"

Suddenly, the little black stone fell out from the shadow of the village, left the travel village, and quickly came to his side, with a relieved expression on his nervous little face.

Liu Hen was stunned: "How could you leave the village?"

"Can't you come out?"

Little Black Stone quickly asked, "Then I'll go back?"

"Can you go back again?" Liu Hen asked.

Little Black Stone tried quickly, then shook his head blankly: "There's no going back."

Liu Hen finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the reason why Xiao Heishi was able to break free from the village was probably related to her rule-level power.

A village in this state cannot trap rule-level beings.

However, once you leave the village, even a rule-level being cannot go back.

Because compared to the outside world, the current village is just an illusion, and the real body is not here.

"I seem to be able to switch between the bonfire's main body and its projection at any time."

Liu Hen had an idea and put the bonfire body back, and the projection of the bonfire appeared in the equipment bar.

The next moment, the fog rolled in, and the village reappeared with the rolling fog.

Everything seemed to be the same as before, but the location of the village entrance had changed slightly, shifting seven or eight meters.
