The Secret of the Eternal Battlefield Giant Rune Chapter 7 Loneliness
The three of them headed to their next destination.
The seventh point of light is a city occupied by trees, but it is not too covered. Judging from the layout of the streets, it probably corresponds to the city of Sima in Bakato. There is a beautiful blue bird that looks like a parrot living here.
Three people and one lion to explore.
"Hello?" Alexander hadn't released the animals to talk yet, so naturally he couldn't understand the birds' chirping.
The bird flapped its wings and landed on a street lamp post. After a ritual cast, Alexander learned that there lived a bear who liked to eat leaves.
Perhaps too much time has passed and the bears are getting bigger and bigger and eating more and more, and the birds are afraid that the bears will eat them all.
She immediately asked Bird if he had tried to talk to the bear. Bird said no, but who would dare? "Understood, let's go talk to him."
"So, where is the bear?" Carlin asked after listening to the report. "A bear that eats leaves must not be too difficult to communicate with, probably."
So Alexander asked for the bear's location before going to look for it.
"Perhaps it has some strange disease?" Lin Lang asked as he followed.
"Actually, he has grown up. But if he eats faster than the plants grow, I am afraid this place is not suitable for him to survive. It is still necessary to go and see." Carlin's guess is more reasonable.
After searching around, the three of them found a four-foot-tall koala, which was really not that big.
"Hello?" Alexander's repetitive greeting really made Carlin feel a little tired of it.
Carlin was observing the tree where the koala was lying. In fact, many of the leaves around it had been eaten by him. This is also in line with the sense of a small creature like a bird, but it does not seem to be able to do so for a long time.
Destroying the ecology here - how is that possible?
Alexander then relayed to him the concerns of other animals that he kept eating and getting bigger, and asked him if he was worried about overeating.
But the koala says it's always been like this.
Karin immediately thought that this might be an ordinary animal that had escaped from the original material plane of the group.
After listening to Carlin's guess, Alexander asked how the koalas got here.
But I don’t know. Ordinary animals have very low intelligence. The other animals here may be fey creatures rather than beasts, so their intelligence is relatively high.
"How long ago was the last time you were with your kindred?" Karin asked Alexander to help ask.
It was a long time ago, because animals can't count dates. And there's not even sunset here, so the routine is even more confusing.
Karin whispered to the other two people: "We can't fire again... Why don't we try to lead him to find the way he came?"
But Alexander believed that it was basically impossible for animals to pass through the space rift, and it was too dangerous. "I don't think he can pass through the space rift like the previous combatants. Let's see if there are any clues nearby." She planned to walk around nearby.
See if there's anything worth noting.
"Bear, why don't we take you to another place with more leaves to eat? The leaves here probably won't be enough for you to eat." Karin was talking nonsense, but fortunately the koala couldn't understand it at all. "Me neither.
I’m curious about how he got in.” After thinking about it, I decided to look for him separately with Alexander.
Lin Lang stayed and chatted with the koala: "Are you eating leaves out of hunger or out of habit? After all, we haven't been troubled by hunger since we came to this place."
The answer is of course getting used to it.
Lin Lang tried to persuade the koala to stop eating leaves. Although there was no problem if he didn't eat, the koala was still unhappy.
When Lin Lang was communicating with the koalas, Carlin and Alexander searched all over the city but could not find such a place. Speaking of which, it was impossible for the koala population to live in the city.
Alexander remembered that Sima City was a month's drive from the real Desolate Forest. She looked at the map and there were eleven photoelectrics in total. Before one suddenly appeared, there were ten. There were extra adventurers and fairies that time.
But she didn't have a good idea. She wanted to do what she did with the lion and go back and discuss with the koala to let it follow her. Maybe she could meet its tribe on the way.
But the koalas think it's good to hang out here, because it's so dangerous to be with humans.
"Is he really unhappy? Why do I feel that he is quite happy?" Alexander complained to two teammates.
"But you will eat the leaves sooner or later. Are you sure you can not anger other creatures here?" Carlin asked Alexander to help translate, and then the koala said he would not eat.
"It's not that we don't let you eat, it's just that since you can come here, the things we brought you must be capable of taking you to dangerous places. We can't let you wait for danger like this. So we want to take you back.
It won't disturb the birds, what do you think?" Not to mention where they came from, there was a lion following the three of them, which was really scary.
The koalas think this place is pretty good, but a bit boring and very safe.
"It's not scary. We are considered relatively safe creatures here. The friendly animals you see may have some magical habits." Carlin thought about the injured giant snake and comforted the koala.
.
But this still does not solve the problem, or it is not completely solved.
"Let the light shine, but the problems of the birds will be solved." Carlin felt that there was no chance.
In this case, Alexander first went to the bird to reply to the situation he had learned so far, saying that it was a koala, that it was not dangerous and safe, and he also promised not to eat leaves. But he left his family and could not go back, and was distressed.
He is bored and hopes that other animals will have time to accompany him.
In the end, the bird overcame its timidity and met the koala. After that, although they did not understand each other's language, the relationship turned into companionship.
The smart bird gave Alexander a beautiful big blue feather that he had picked up before. This time he received the gift unexpectedly, and the feather was half as long as an arm.
"That's good. Thank you for the gift." Alexander guessed that the bird was quite lonely.
Karin scratched his head. "Ah... can it still be like this? It seems that I was affected by the state of the snake." I don't care what happened to the giant snake.
The current harvest is a pile of shiny pebbles, a monkeywood crown, spicy fruits, a durable enchanted wine barrel base, an old wooden bar sign, a large snake scale, and a large blue feather.
Continuing on the road, the eighth light spot is a large creature with a long nose similar to an elephant, but it has no big ears and is covered in brown fur.
"Hello?" Alexander still repeated.
But this creature rushed through an obvious path in front of it, and obviously there was no time for ritual casting.
There were no wounds or anything on this animal, and it didn’t react when three people approached it?
Lin Lang tried to use the language of the soul to talk to this elephant-like animal. [Can you stop first, is there something chasing you? 】
The big hairy monster that was about to go away stopped and looked back, but that was all, and then continued running. This road in the forest has been stepped on countless times, and it has already become extremely hard.
Seeing that the negotiation failed, Lin Lang turned back and asked his teammates, "Do you have any way to stop it without getting hurt?"
"Let's just follow him and take a look." Alexander chose to follow him and take a look.
Carlin also followed the animal first to see if it turned and if there were other creatures around the road.
But the spear monster was too fast to keep up, but the road seemed to be a less than standard circle or oval. It was like...a horse racing track.
"Why is he running so fast? What is he racing against? He keeps running." Carlin guessed.
"Let's take a look along the road." Alexander continued running.
"Okay." Carlin also walked down the road.
After following it for a while, we found that it was indeed a circular road, and we came to another small clearing that was not so solid. There was a strand of long brown hair hanging on the branch next to it, which seemed to be the place where the long-haired monster rested.
"It seems that he also needs to rest. Let's wait here for a while." Alexander said.
"I hope he is willing to talk about his troubles." Carlin looked around and found no signs of gnawing or other signs nearby.
After waiting for a while, a goblin passed by, and the direction she hurried back to should be the garden.
"Hello?" Alexander asked her about the beast here.
The goblin said she didn't know either, but she had seen this long-haired monster racing with a yellow-haired cat on the way here.
Alexander thanked her and then looked at his teammates. "Well... do you think we should go over and take a look?"
"Uh... let's just look along this road, right? That yellow cat should be running here too, and that long-haired animal should be chasing him," Carlin said.
"Oh! I think it's better to go over and have a look." Alexander walked towards the direction where the goblin came from.
The two of them followed, and as they walked, the long-haired monster behind them rushed past the three of them, but no trace of the cat was seen.
"It's hard to understand." Alexander was a little irritated. "Look in the direction he came from. If the opponent is faster than him, we will definitely not be able to catch up." Then he headed in the direction the beast came from.
"Okay. But I can't imagine what his troubles are." Karin nodded.
Alexander hesitated and asked the lion if he knew anything. Of course he didn't...
Along the opposite direction, there was only a long-haired monster running in circles alone, and in the end the three of them confirmed that there were no cats.
So Alexander calculated the time for his lap, ritualized the animal conversation in advance, and then shouted the next time he came: "Who are you racing against? I don't see any other creatures here except you?"
The long-haired monster stopped and said that after he won once, the opponent would never race with him again. Before, they were evenly matched, but now it has become a habit.
Then Alexander asked where the other person was and if anything special happened during the last race.
But the long-haired monster doesn't know its location, it only knows its direction and a path.
"Do you want to race with him again?" Carlin asked Alexander to help explain. But racing is not important, the problem is loneliness. In this world where there is no need to fight for life, the spiritual needs are much higher than the material plane. "You are the first
When did you first meet, and how did you meet?"
But there is only the information that it has won, nothing more. The beast has no concept of time, not to mention that there is no conventional day and night here. How can we know each other when we are running.
"Then let's go and take a look." Alexander said, and then looked in the direction he said.
"Understood, we will get your friends back." Karin made a promise.
