The field field is a fixed, continuously emitted form of field existence with a certain coverage.
It is similar to a magic circle. Once the layout is completed, it only needs regular maintenance to be effective for a long time.
Matthew stood on the beach, quietly feeling the seemingly absent balance of power.
"Someone has set up a field here, but it has not been maintained for a long time."
This is the message his perception told him.
At the same time, more information poured into his mind.
The "Balance" field aims to correct the deflection of nature and coordinate the balance of elements. People who live here for a long time will also be repaired physically and mentally, and will be healthier and happier than living elsewhere.
In addition, what role does the field field play?
Matthew couldn't sense it anymore.
His domain is not yet able to achieve a higher level of resonance with the domain field, and being able to seize this fleeting opportunity is already a reflection of his responsiveness.
…
"Hint: You communicated with the field "Balance" left by the Balance Messenger, and you obtained the elements of the "Balance" field: coordination.
Accumulate more elements and you will get the opportunity to enter the balanced field for the first time!"
…
This is not the first time that Matthew has obtained elements, but what is different from before is that the acquisition of the "coordination" element directly caused changes in the Tai Chi symbols——
Matthew saw the two big commas "Nature" and "Immortal" sinking for a distance, and a mark outlined by a dotted line appeared in the gap above. It was a large comma whose size and shape were exactly the same as those of Nature and Immortality.
comma!
"balanced".
Even without the words Matthew knew what it meant.
that moment.
He could feel that there was a force in the dark that was filling in the last piece of the puzzle for him in the larger framework of the Legendary Way.
"Sure enough, immortality and nature are not so easy to master at the same time. Only by introducing a third-party balance can the legendary way be complete."
Matthew felt an unstoppable sense of satisfaction in his heart, as if a missing piece in his heart had suddenly been filled.
That feeling, indescribable pleasure.
But he didn't dwell in that feeling for too long.
Because in reality.
It was time to say goodbye to the trio traveling through the rainforest.
"Ahead is the "Evening Wind Pier", where you can recruit boatmen to go to any island in the Arun Inland Sea."
"I will stay in the forest near here for 15 days. Within 15 days, if I don't wait for you, I will return to the rainforest, and we can only cherish the rest of the journey."
Finish these two sentences.
Lao Jitou happily filled his pipe with tobacco leaves and stopped to watch the two of them leave.
"Thank you, you are the most reliable guide I have ever seen."
Matthew thanked him politely.
Lao Jitou smiled:
"Have you met many guides?"
Matthew said frankly:
"you are the first."
Lao Ji nodded:
"Then what you said is not bad."
As they spoke, the two looked at each other and smiled.
At this time, Luo Lan also stretched and walked over:
"Dear Matthew, I'm afraid I won't be able to go with you next time."
Lao Jitou looked at him curiously:
"With your attitude this way, I thought you would keep following him until you succeed."
Luo Lan's eyes widened and he said dissatisfiedly:
"Hey, old Jitou, what nonsense are you talking about? Matthew is my brother!"
"I'm not the kind of guy who would pull a gun on his brothers!"
Lao Jitou raised his hands to express surrender.
"Then what is your real purpose of traveling through the rainforest?"
Matthew asked.
Luo Lan said with joy:
"Didn't you expect that? I actually successfully deceived Lao Jitou. I didn't travel through the rain forest just to experience the women of the Jango tribe. Ha, the women in the jungle certainly have a wild beauty, but I have a little mysophobia.
, cannot accept their dirty bodies.
The reason why I am willing to go through all the hardships to come here is because a friend invited me to play on "Shengji Island". He said that there are moderate Nagas, sea elf young women and stone elemental beauties who are willing to have relationships with humans.
You know, it is too dangerous to take a boat to Shengji Island from the sea, as it will pass through the territory of the radical Nagas.
So I specially thought of a genius plan to reach the Arun Inland Sea through the less dangerous rainforest, and then go all the way east to meet my friends at the agreed place. Then, it will be a good day for me to go out to sea!
"
Matthew suddenly had a strange look on his face when he heard this:
"That friend of yours - have you ever met him in real life?"
Luo Lan shook his head decisively:
"No, we mainly communicate through messengers and talk to each other. He has a good character, is upright, and his appearance should not be bad."
Matthew couldn't help but ask:
"So, you unconditionally believed everything he said?"
Lorraine smiled and came over to give Matthew a big hug:
"Don't worry about me, Matthew. You know, I trust you unconditionally during this period."
Matthew hesitated to speak, but in the end he stopped speaking.
I just wish Luolan a smooth journey and it would be best if he could sleep with more foreign women.
Recalling the various performances of Lorraine along the way.
Matthew knew he was not the playboy he seemed.
Luo Lan's true strength may be much higher than his own, and that doesn't include the magical props in his hands!
It's really unnecessary to worry about this guy.
"Take care, Matthew, just wait and hear the story of my return from the sea!"
Finally, Matthew waved goodbye to Lorraine.
Then a person walked alone towards the Wanfeng Pier in the west of the Gold Coast.
Just at this moment.
Suddenly a burst of light twisted behind Matthew.
The image of the knife dancer slowly emerged.
"What's wrong? I've been leaving suddenly much more frequently recently than before."
Matthew looked back at A Bing.
The latter did not speak, but took out a long string of string from his cloak.
Matthew took a closer look and saw that there were little flying squirrels one after another on the string!
They were trapped together like rice dumplings by A Bing.
When they saw Matthew, the little flying squirrels all looked at him with tears in their eyes, seeming to beg him to let him go.
"You mean, they're spying on me?"
Through the wave of thoughts that summoned the contract, Matthew barely understood what A Bing meant.
A Bing nodded.
The little flying squirrels suddenly panicked. They kept wagging their tails and begging for mercy. Their big eyes were full of tears, which made people feel soft just by looking at them.
Matthew rolled his eyes and immediately guessed that these little flying squirrels were Su Ya's eyeliners.
But now that he has left the rain forest, it is extremely difficult for Su Ya to monitor him again, and he does not have to worry about these little animals.
So he said to A Bing:
"Put them back into the rainforest."
A Bing nodded blankly.
The next second, he flicked his wrist, and the knots on the rope shook off one after another, and the little flying squirrels fell to the ground like eggs.
After landing, most of them fled in a hurry and disappeared into the rainforest soon.
At this moment, Matthew suddenly discovered that there was a little flying squirrel standing in front of him fearfully.
It was only supported by its hind legs, its front paws were tucked into its chest, and its eyes were a little frightened.
"Huh? Is it you?"
Matthew recognized it.
Isn't this the little flying squirrel that seemed to have been beaten black and blue a few days ago?
It also offered Matthew berries in the bush.
At this time, most of the injuries on the little flying squirrel's face have healed, but the eye sockets are still slightly swollen, making the eyes look bigger.
"Why don't you go with your companions?"
Matthew bent down and asked patiently.
The little flying squirrel said:
"Master Su Ya doesn't regard our little flying squirrel as a human being at all!
No matter how good our work is, she always punches and kicks us!
I can't live a day like that anymore. I don't want to hang out in the black banyan dreamland.
I want to follow you, Lord Matthew, please give me a chance!"
Matthew looked at it with a playful expression:
"why me?"
The little flying squirrel said boldly:
"Because only you can hope to conquer Master Su Ya! I hope that one day, when you really do that, you can let me, as a servant, share in the pie!"
Matthew was surprised by the ambition of this little flying squirrel:
"What do you want to do to Su Ya?"
The little flying squirrel suddenly laughed evilly:
"I'm going to kick her, hard!"
Matthew looked at it with interest. He realized that this little flying squirrel was different, and asked again:
"May I have your name?"
The little flying squirrel said: "I don't have a name, and my more than 3,000 compatriots don't have names either. Normally, Master Su Ya can't tell who we are. She can only say 'hey, hey, hey' very rudely. I'm really fed up with that."
That woman, I want to defect! Please accept me!"
Matthew wanted to agree, but considering Su Ya's cunningness, he had another layer of thought.
"If you want to follow me, it's not impossible. I need you to prove your loyalty to me - how do I know that you betrayed Su Ya today and won't betray me tomorrow?"
Matthew asked.
"This is simple. Aren't you a mage? You can put a curse on me. If I betray you, I will be shattered to pieces immediately!"
The little flying squirrel said sadly: "Actually, I also suggested that Master Su Ya cast such a spell on us, but she didn't even have the interest to cast a spell on us. Damn it! This is such a look down on our little flying squirrel. I must be cruel
Take revenge on that woman severely!"
Matthew put his chin in his hands and thought for a moment:
"It's not necessary to cast a curse, but you still need to conduct a small assessment:
I hope you can return to Su Ya now and pretend that nothing happened. Doesn’t she want you to monitor my every move?
I hope you can monitor her every move for me.
I will pass through the rainforest in a while, and if your performance satisfies me, I will consider taking you away."
The little flying squirrel thought for a while:
"It's okay, but how should I pass the information to you?"
"Don't worry, just write it down first. When I return to the rainforest, you can find an opportunity to pretend to be captured by mistake, and then report all the information from these days to me at once."
Matthew encouraged:
"If you really do a good job, then I won't be stingy about fulfilling your promise."
The little flying squirrel suddenly became excited, and then he looked troubled again.
"What's wrong?"
Matthew noticed this.
Little Flying Squirrel said: "I have a chance to escape from the sea of suffering, but I still have many brothers. If I escape alone and they still fall under the violent rule of that bad woman, I will be very sad."
Matthew was helpless.
He can pry off a corner of Rainforest Soul, but not a whole lot.
Otherwise, if Su Ya is really annoyed, he will never be able to enter this rainforest again in this life.
"Sorry for embarrassing you."
The little flying squirrel was depressed for a while, then cheered up again:
"I will return to Lady Su Ya and monitor her every move. But before I leave, I have one last request - can you give me a name? I don't want to live in a haze like other little flying squirrels.
.”
Matthew said quickly:
"It's simple. Since you are a little flying squirrel, just call it 'A Fei'!"
"Okay! Although I think this name is ordinary, I think it is because my level is too low to appreciate it. After all, I am just a little flying squirrel who has never seen much of the world. From now on, Fei is me.
I am Ah Fei, no one can confuse me with other little flying squirrels!"
Ah Fei cheered for a while, then solemnly extended his front paws to Matthew.
"Retractor, I learned it from you humans."
A Fei said seriously.
Matthew smiled and stretched out his little finger to hook it.
After that, A Fei bowed respectfully and ran into the rain forest without stopping.
"This little flying squirrel is really interesting."
After coming back to his senses, Matthew looked at A Bing:
"So where did you get this rope?"
A Bing looked confused and subconsciously began to twist his arms.
Matthew had to check the data column while walking.
Finally, he found a message record from a few days ago.
…
"Tip: Your summoned soldier uses the ability of the Rope Master.
He peeled off the bark and kneaded it to create a strong rope.
Your summoned soldier feels extremely satisfied!"
…
Rope master?
Is this ability actually serious?
Matthew was slightly surprised.
Recalling the scene of those little flying squirrels being strung together tightly, he suddenly realized that he should also prepare a magic rope for A Bing!
"This ability may not be as crooked as it seems on the surface."
Thinking room.
The gray lighthouse with mottled walls in front of the coastline is already close at hand.
There is a small pier on the east side of the lighthouse.
At this time, only two sparse figures, one old and one small, could be seen on the pier.
Matthew walked over quickly.
…
Evening Breeze Pier.
Under a row of lush palm trees.
The elderly man was taking a rest with his eight or nine-year-old child.
Both of them have black hair, black eyes, and dark skin, but it can be seen that they were tanned by the abundant sunshine on the Gold Coast, and their skin color is still yellow.
These are typical characteristics of the Sioux people.
"Hello."
Matthew said hello from a distance:
"Is it convenient to take a boat? I want to go to Junliu Island."
The child looked at Matthew curiously.
The old man slowly stood up from under the tree. While putting on his straw hat, he narrowed his eyes and stared at Matthew:
"Junliu Island does not welcome outsiders."
Matthew explains:
"I have a friend who is a distinguished guest on Junliu Island. I have his introduction letter. He is a warrior monk and should be well-known in this area."
Before the old man could speak, the child said first:
"Is the monk you are talking about the one who likes to talk nonsense and always fishes for turtles from the sea?"
Talking nonsense is somewhat similar, but where do you start talking about catching turtles to eat?
Matthew could only tentatively say:
"Li Weiqi?"
"Yes! That's him!"
The child said unhappily:
"I heard that he ate all the turtles on Junliu Island by himself! Do you know how outrageous he was back then, a warrior monk..."
The old man came over and interrupted him. He said to Matthew:
"Li Weiqi is indeed a distinguished guest of Junliu Island, but the current Junliu Island is probably very different from when he was there. If you insist on going, we can take you for a ride."
Matthew nodded.
"The fee is 1 gold coin, and the ship fare must be paid in advance. No credit will be given."
said the old man.
Matthew asked while taking out the money:
"Can Gold Coast also use gold coins from the Hundred Cities Alliance?"
The old man nodded and said:
"OK."
He collected the money, took out a very short flute from his waist, put it to his lips and played silently for a while, then put it away again.
"Hold on."
Perhaps in order to relieve boredom, the old man followed the topic just now and continued:
"There are many small city-states standing on the coast of the Arun Inland Sea. Most of the sources of civilization of these city-states came from the north. Some city-states here are very wealthy, while others are relatively poor, but they are all under the influence of the Hundred Cities Alliance.
Within the radiation range.”
"Actually, if you walk along the Gold Coast, you will find that except for some unique local customs, other places are no different from the Hundred Cities."
Matthew asked curiously:
“How many city-states are there on the Gold Coast?”
The old man thought:
"I can't explain this clearly. There are fewer cities on the north coast, but the south coast is very prosperous. There are at least a dozen city-states with names.
Among them, Torch City, where the "Golden Holy Lord" is located, is the most famous, and other small city-states also have their own characteristics.
However, it seems that the south coast is not peaceful recently. If you have a travel mentality, it is safer to go to the north coast——
The premise is not to enter the rainforest and not to provoke the Jango people and their Quetzalcoatl, they are a bunch of lunatics!"
Matthew noticed that the old man's words were full of resentment towards the Jango people.
He just wanted to ask more.
At this moment, I heard the child standing on the edge of the pier waving towards this side and shouting:
"The ship is coming! The ship is coming!"
Matthew raised his eyes and saw a white line between the sea and the sky approaching quickly. Only when he got closer did he see clearly that what was hidden among the white waves was actually a sea turtle the size of a basketball court in his previous life!
"Let's go, young man."
The old man motioned for Matthew to follow:
"Xuan Kunzi will take us to Junliu Island."
Under the guidance of the old man.
Matthew tried to walk onto the turtle's back from the dock, but when he passed the edge of the turtle shell, Matthew's foot slipped——
Fortunately, A Bing was right behind him, so he stepped on A Bing's face and climbed up smoothly.
"careful."
At this time, a gentle voice sounded in his ears:
"Recently, there have been a lot of strange creatures growing on my body. Although I asked Old Ali and Xiao Shitou to help remove them, there is always some greasy mucus left behind."
Its voice is very nice, but its only drawback is that it speaks very slowly, and the listener may not be able to catch his breath.
Matthew knew that the turtle under his feet was speaking, so he responded curiously:
"Are you Xuan Kunzi?"
"Yes, this is the name my master gave me. Oh, he said it is called Taoist name. Unfortunately, my understanding is not high and I have never achieved much, so he didn't take me with him when he left."
Turtle said gently:
"But I'm not interested in the things he said about balance between heaven and earth. Being able to sleep in the warm sea water every day is the happiest thing in my life."
Matthew asked:
"Is your master a messenger of balance?"
Xuan Kunzi responded:
"Yes, but I haven't seen him for thirty years. Maybe he returned to the East, the land he has always been thinking about. Maybe he died in the depths of the sea, like other Sioux people."
"Sometimes I feel that the Sioux people's obsession with their homeland is actually a curse. What do you think, Old Ali?"
Old Ali was silent.
After a while, he said:
"When I get older, I will go to the sea, just like my compatriots. Regardless of whether it is a curse, I only know that this is not my destination, and it will never be!"
During the conversation.
The turtle slowly sailed away from the pier and swam towards the depths of the Arun Sea.
It was noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the sea and sky were blue.
Several small islands dotted here and there are faintly visible on the sea ahead.
The milky white sand beach reflects translucent light in the sun.
There is a tall coconut tree growing in the center of Xuan Kunzi's turtle shell.
A group of people were sitting under the coconut trees to enjoy the cool air.
Matthew, Xuan Kunzi, and old Ali chatted one after another, while the child named Xiao Shitou walked around A Bing curiously.
Ah Bing, who had always been dull, seemed very patient at this time.
He played with the little stone for a while and then suddenly disappeared.
Ah Bing appeared again with a big coconut in his hand.
"Are there coconuts all over my back?"
Xuan Kunzi exclaimed:
"Speaking of which, my master is really unreliable. In order to make it easier for me to ride in the shade, he even planted a coconut tree on my back. How can anyone plant a tree on my student? How can I plant a tree on my student?"
Everyone laughed for a while.
A Bing cut the coconut open with a short knife in front of the little stone.
Then handed it to him.
"No, I can't have it."
Xiao Shitou seemed a little restrained:
"My grandpa said you can't ask for things from guests."
A Bing was confused and could only move the opened coconut forward.
Matthew was ready to rescue him.
However, at this moment, Xuan Kunzi's voice sounded, with a slightly ominous tone:
"I think we may not be able to go to Junliu Island today."
Old Ali asked:
"Are you trying to be lazy again, Xuan Kunzi? You haven't done enough exercise this month. You said so yourself."
Xuan Kunzi said slowly:
"No, not me."
"It's Naga."
Matthew stood up immediately.
But I saw layers of white waves standing on the sea ahead.
On top of each layer of white waves is a Naga holding a weapon!
"The Nagas have been very restless recently and have been patrolling the sea. I'll try to see if I can speed up and get rid of them!"
Xuan Kunzi said hard.
But five minutes later.
The turtle was surrounded by a group of Naga warriors.
"Hey, if I hadn't been lazy and learned a few more "Tao techniques" when I was taking lessons from the master, I wouldn't be overtaken by Naga now."
Xuan Kunzi sighed:
"Now we have no choice but to surrender. I hope they can arrange a more comfortable sea prison for me."
During the conversation.
A little boss who was taller than an ordinary naga came over:
"Where do you guys come from? Where are you going?"
