Dawn of Another World

The strange and strong fragrance lingered in the entire dense jungle. Because Ling Xiao had taken the medicine beforehand, he was not affected by these mind-depriving smells again this time.

Covered in a black cloak, Wang Lynch appears and disappears, appearing from time to time on the branches of trees in mid-air or behind the trunks on the ground, leading Ling Xiao.

Neither of them spoke aloud, only the rustling sound of the branches and leaves of plants and trees echoing around Ling Xiao's body.Of all the plants in this dense forest, Ling Xiao didn't even find half a piece of withered yellow burnt leaves, and all he could see was a strange dark green, as if the life cycle of the plants had been frozen.But the fact is not the case. On the ground where it passes, there is clearly a layer of extremely thick and soft rotting leaves that have gone through many years, but the color of the fallen leaves is still bright, as if stepping on a piece of strong green velvet. Like walking on a blanket.

"Be careful."

The arm was grabbed by Wang Linqi who suddenly appeared beside him, and Ling Xiao's footsteps almost stopped outside a strange open place. The reason why it is called strange is because the plants and trees around Ling Xiao's back were all rubbed The grass grows densely, competing with each other for the little space, but there is no trace of any plant growth on the large circular open space in front of you, and there is nothing on the flat ground covered with a layer of decayed leaves. , seemingly calm, but exudes a gloomy and terrifying aura inexplicably.

"Go around the edge to the right. Under this layer of fallen leaves is a swamp that can corrode flesh. If you fall, you will die."

This is not an alarmist talk by Wang Lynch. Although Spice Town, which was abandoned thousands of years ago, is inaccessible, occasionally sporadic adventurers pass by and enter the town.This forest that suddenly appeared hundreds of years ago and has existed until now, as long as someone discovers and steps into it, all of them, without exception, never come out again.

The man-eating swamp in front of me is just an appetizer, nothing more.This seemingly silent jungle has a very deceptive appearance, but its real appearance is a terrifying haunted area full of countless creatures that choose people and devour them!

And this sinister Thales Eye has not been noticed by the outside world for such a long time. The reasons are complicated but simple.The Spice Town where it is located is located in the southwesternmost part of the Saofeng Plain, where the Giant Wolf and the Desolate Snake race meet. The more remote the uninhabited land, the more similar sinister cracks exist.

Like in the Saofeng Plain, the regular hunting and search teams that report the situation every day in each tribe usually operate around the settlements of their respective tribes.They won't go to such corners to explore. The Thales Eyes that appear around the settlements from time to time are enough to keep them busy.It can be said that it is an extremely low probability event that can be discovered early like the eye of the wind on the hill of ruins.

Except for the hunting teams organized by various tribes on the plain, the rest of the private teams with complicated members and traveling together on adventures have never reported their whereabouts to their respective forces.They wandered and wandered on this continent, eating and sleeping in the open air. Some of them artificially improved themselves to break through the limit; others artificially hunted a high-risk Eye of Thales, followed by a high-return considerable income.

This group of people, whose whereabouts are uncertain, they are the easiest to find those strange and dangerous Thales Eyes that exist in various parts of the Terra continent like Spice Town, and they are also the easiest to fall into it because of such life-threatening dangers. Die silently.

"The road I chose, other dangerous creatures are not willing to approach, because there are many more swamps like this in front, so be careful yourself."

Making gestures and mouth shapes, Wang Linqi disappeared again without waiting for Ling Xiao's response, and then suddenly appeared in front of a giant tree in front of the right that could not be embraced by three people, and waved to him.

Nodding to the young man in the cloak, after listening to his warning, Ling Xiao moved carefully around the edge of the entire open land, and finally bypassed this seemingly normal and highly concealed swamp safely.

Along the way, led by Wang Linqi, who seemed to be very familiar with this forest, Ling Xiao walked through it, avoiding many swamps of different sizes without any danger, and the fragrance wafting from the tip of his nose became more and more intense. Ling Xiao knew that he was getting close to the final destination of this trip.

"arrive."

As the words fell, Wang Lynch stopped in front of a tree that was more than ten meters high, and a lush vine-like plant was growing on it like a snake.

Each dark green heart-shaped leaf is the size of Ling Xiao's head, and its winding stems are all deeply drawn into the black trunk. The strange green juice is like blood, gurgling from the wounds of the trunk.When the juice dripped onto the bright leaves of the parasitic vine, it was like water droplets seeping into the sand, being absorbed rapidly at a speed discernible by the naked eye.Then, the deadly vines moved and contracted tighter, trying to force more sap out of the trunk.

Ling Xiao looked horrified, and took a breath. What kind of plant is this? It's no different from a bloodthirsty and hungry beast!

"This tree is dying."

Wang Linqi just glanced at it, then lowered his voice and signaled to Ling Xiao with a flat expression: "Don't worry, this thing is just the larval form of that monster, it will just keep looking for trees that suit its taste to parasitize until it is drained. After the last drop of sap from the tree, they will look for the next target and continue to strangle. In this form, they are still vegetarians and will not eat people."

Wang Linqi's words did not have any consoling effect. After knowing that the weird vine plant in front of him was the larva form of the monster that almost killed him before, Ling Xiao couldn't restrain his scalp from going numb.

"It's fine if you don't touch it." Wang Linqi warned, and then said: "There are larvae appearing around, and the mother's activity range is further ahead. Have you thought about whether you really want to go?"

"That's no ordinary monster, there's still time to turn around now."

"Your strength... or have you thought about how to deal with it?"

"Ling Xiao, even if you die in vain, you may not be able to save that orc."

Sentence after sentence, what Wang Lynch in the cloak said, although harsh and ugly, was all true.Ling Xiao was silent, his beautiful clear green eyes stared straight at the young man in front of him who seemed to be persuading him earnestly——

"I'm going."

"Basil is my defender, and his life is mine."

"If I know he's in danger, but I'm indifferent."

"Then, what qualifications do I have for him to follow?"

At this moment, from Ling Xiao's usual gentle eyes, there is an irreversible and firm gaze.

Even if he was injured, even if he would die, even if he would experience the horror he experienced not long ago, Wang Linqi finally knew from the unmistakable eyes of the other party that he could not stop Ling Xiao.

This docile, meek man on the outside, seems to be tougher than anyone else when he touches the principles of good and evil, right and wrong in his heart, and he doesn't back down.

Obviously powerless, why is there such a strong mind that seems to be shining?

Simply embarrassing.

"It's up to you, but don't expect me to help you again."

I don't know whether it was because of anger or other reasons, Wang Linqi, who had a cold face under the black hood, disappeared in an instant after saying this sentence, and disappeared without a trace.

Ling Xiao smiled and didn't care.Although I don't know the reason, for a person who wanted to harm them not long ago, he was lucky enough to suddenly change his mind and help him come here.I never expected too much in the first place, so there is no such thing as disappointment.

He turned over the cloth bag on his waist, and glanced at the little dragon cub Adonis who was sleeping in the bag on his back. Due to the premature birth, the little guy spent most of his time sleeping when he was not fussy. At this moment, he was Curled up in the bag and chewed his own tail, he slept soundly.

"Mr. Wang, I know you are here."

Facing the dark and deep void of the forest, Ling Xiao couldn't tell the reason, but he knew that the young man in the cloak hadn't gone away. He held the cloth bag of the little dragon cub Yani in his arms, and said earnestly, "Although I know you don't like me, But there is no one else here, so I can only trouble you..."

"This—" he held up the cloth bag containing the little guy, "his name is Adonis, and he is a cub of the Plains family. I promised his mother, Anas, to take good care of him, but I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill my promise after today, please!"

"Please take Yani with you. He is very good and doesn't need to eat anything. Please take him to Giant Wolf City on Saofeng Plain, find Master Jiji, the prophet of the wolf clan, and just hand Yani to him."

"You can take the scales on his neck, the power of the dragon's soul is sealed inside..."

"Just bring Yani back to Giant Wolf City."

"Please."

I'm sorry, Anas.

Gently placing the cloth bag on the soft ground, Ling Xiao felt extremely ashamed. He had clearly promised Ana Si that he would take good care of her child, but now, he had to leave the little guy here incompetently. Entrust to others.

Knowing that what awaits him in front of him is an extremely difficult situation, it is not that he has never thought about using the dragon scale gifted by Ana Si to solve the current predicament, but there is only one chance, in case of failure, in case of failure, oneself It doesn't matter, what should the little guy do if he follows him?

With Basil in doubt, he can no longer risk Adonis' safety.

I'm sorry, Yani.

It's all because I have no strength.

Unwillingness and guilt turned into a glint of water in Ling Xiao's eyes, and he tried his best to hold back the wavering in his heart, unwilling to let the tears that represented weakness fall.With red eyes, Ling Xiao took one last look at the little dragon cub Adonis who was curled up in the bag and even snored a little. He turned around without looking back, and walked through this alien jungle that had begun to thin out, his back sad and lonely.

"idiot."

Sneering coldly at the place where Ling Xiao left, Wang Linqi grabbed the strap of the cloth bag on the ground and carefully carried it at a distance from his body.He muttered to himself, even the pale face under the hood seemed to be in a daze.

"Entrust the cubs of the Plains clan to the care of an undead, either a fool or a lunatic..."

After being dazed for a while, he seemed to wake up suddenly. He gritted his teeth and said in a hateful voice: "I will never go over to help you!"

It's enough to stay within this safe distance. Seeing that fool go to die in vain, he won't be as stupid as him to get close to him. That guy named Ling Xiao just died.

"If I die, I will be completely free."

Wang Linqi fixed his eyes on the turquoise patterns that appeared and disappeared between his wrists again. From the confinement and bondage given by that weird bracelet, he was completely free... Fantasizing about the wonderful prospect, Wang Linqi narrowed his eyes, But a huge shadow that suddenly appeared in his mind made him shiver——

Ling Xiao didn't know that the damn bracelet had power at all, and he didn't know about the curse imprinted on him inexplicably.

In other words, he did not directly enter into a contract with himself, and it was the damn bracelet that unilaterally forced the relationship!

Once his spirit dies and everything returns to nothingness, he can only be trapped by his side and his corpse forever.

"I x...!"

Mr. Wang Lynch Wang, who hated that shameless bracelet at this moment, left a sentence of national abuse in the air, and then disappeared in a hurry.

And the larvae of the plant, which keeps gathering the vines, has dark green and gloomy leaves, and is constantly robbing and absorbing the source of life of other plants, seemingly never satisfied.
