Chapter 11: Gods and Temples(1/3)
Chapter 743 Gods and Temples
Full Moon Forest.
This jungle is like a dark prison. There are towering trees everywhere, and the huge and lush canopy blocks the sky so tightly that sometimes when walking in it, you can't even tell the difference between day and night.
Moreover, this prison is not safe yet. There are terrifying jungle killers hidden everywhere in the darkness, hunting everything that passes by. Even Helfas is always nervous and cautious.
Every being here is a hunter.
At the same time, they are also prey.
Helfas didn't know how long he had been walking. To be precise, he didn't know how long he had been lost inside.
He felt physically and mentally exhausted, dizzy, as if he was walking in purgatory.
The moisture of the jungle comes in.
It was obviously very humid, but it was as hot as a furnace.
He even felt like he was stinking and rotting.
"ha……"
"Whirring whirring……"
Herfas hunched over and gasped for air.
Through the torn clothes, you can see the wounds and scabs on his body. Even though they have initially healed, at least there is no flesh and blood, they still look very scary.
It was a battle with Weird, and the other party left it on his body.
Calling it a battle is actually a bit of a self-comfort.
In the dark.
He didn't even see the opponent's appearance clearly, he only saw a terrifying sharp claw reaching down from the sky to catch him. Even if he summoned the insect form of the Biphasic Demonic Insect in a hurry, he still suffered.
to severe damage.
If it weren't for the fact that after escaping through the narrow and complex terrain in the jungle, the tree-shaped biphasic demon insects tightly wrapped his wounds and maintained his life.
He probably died in that jungle a long time ago.
He narrowly escaped death and finally understood his position in this jungle, freeing him from the dream of enthralling self-confidence in which he successfully sealed the seal twice.
Being able to successfully seal the weirdness twice was not because of how strong he was.
It's because someone provided him with enough information both times, allowing him to know all of the opponent's weaknesses.
When walking in the dark.
When the body becomes weak, when it is on the verge of death.
People's self-confidence and many things they believe in will become extremely fragile.
Helfas didn't even have the strength to walk, but was supported by inertia. He felt that he couldn't see anything clearly in the jungle with so many shadows at the moment, and that monsters might rush out at any time and kill him easily.
While he was searching for a way out in a daze, all kinds of distracting thoughts kept coming to his mind, criticizing his previous thoughts.
"The seal is weird, do you have the qualifications?"
"You are just a lucky person who got a certain ritual by accident."
"Those weird things are so scary, don't you have any points yourself?"
"On a full moon night, don't you understand what the world is like?"
"You are still running around in a daze. What did you want to do, and what did you accomplish?"
At the same time, he was still talking to himself.
"I don't want to seal all the weirdness, I just take it one step at a time."
"I just want to get more power."
"I just……"
He even learned the farmer's language.
"Yes, I...I just don't want to abide by the rules of this world."
Towards the end, the voice became increasingly blurry.
Even he himself wasn't sure what he wanted to do.
Because he doesn't even know who he is, so how can he know what he really wants to do deep down in his heart.
The moment you walk out of the jungle.
When the sun shone on him, he knelt directly on the ground.
His eyes gradually became familiar with the light. When he saw tribal herdsmen driving dragon beasts appearing in the distant plains and beside the river, Helfas let out a long breath.
"ah!"
He bent down hard and rubbed his face.
"ha……"
"Finally came out."
——
He exchanged a few hard-boiled eggs with the herdsman who was driving the Velvet Dragon. While eating, he followed the herdsman back to the other's tribe.
Helfas looks a little bit vicissitudes of life. He can also use the knife made by the Golden Tribe to cut his hair into a short hair that is best to take care of. At most, it will look like a dog gnawed, but at least it will not get worms and it will be easy to grow.
Clean.
But the beard was a bit difficult, and the clothes on his body had become tattered. He looked no different from a savage, and he no longer had the aura that was beyond this era.
Now he has perfectly integrated into this era.
But even so, the shepherd recognized his identity at a glance.
The black hair and eyes are really too conspicuous.
The shepherd pointed at him and shouted.
"Black-haired...black-haired person."
"I have heard of you. The merchant mentioned your name when he came."
"You are very powerful and defeated the terrible monster."
"I've also heard about the new farmer tribe and your story, saying that you defeated the human-faced tree, the terrible monster that destroyed the old farmer tribe."
The herdsman respected Helfas very much. Not only did he shout exaggeratedly when he recognized him, he even refused to pay Helfas for eating eggs.
"You have done many good deeds, and you are very powerful. I admire you very much, and I will treat you to it."
"Of course I know you."
"Otherwise, why would I take you back to the tribe directly?"
Helfas did not expect that his reputation among the dragon tribes in this area would become so great before he knew it. Tribes as far away as the Full Moon Forest knew about him.
Come to think of it, this should be the credit of the businessman.
This made him feel a little embarrassed. He felt that he had been boasted too much and he didn't seem to have done much.
Especially since he still looked so embarrassed at the moment.
However, Helfas was still very happy when he heard the news from the businessmen and farmers.
It has been half a year since I left that beautiful oil-bread farmland, and it was even more than a year ago that I parted ways with the businessman.
It had been a long time since he had met the two of them. He had been wandering around various tribes and jungles. Most of his time was spent on the road, chasing the so-called weird rumors. This was the first time he knew about the two.
A person’s recent situation.
Hearing the familiar name, Helfas quickly asked: "Have merchants been to your tribe?"
The bearded man had a new name, and he was called Merchant. The other party told Helfas when they parted.
But a farmer is still called a farmer.
The shepherd waved his whip in his hand, danced and talked shirtless, and took out some objects to show to Helfas.
"The merchants came with people and brought many things, including bone needles, spinning wheels, and bone shuttles, as well as beautiful pottery bowls and pottery vases with patterns on them. Our leader also bought their necklaces.
"
"They took away a lot of cloth from our place, as well as a few female velvet dragon beasts."
"Their stuff is good, so we gave him the best too."
The shepherd's words were very simple and sincere with people of this era.
Helfas said happily: "Everything seems to be going well and there are no problems on the road."
The shepherd was also impressed: "They dared to come over such a long way. It's really impressive."
This is the best news that Helfas has heard recently.
