Lu Li did not answer the question about the outline of the black robe and listened quietly.
The figure in the black robe did not pursue the outline any further and continued to tell the story of the Swamp Mother's past.
The real Swamp Mother was born and secretly accumulated strength. When the old Swamp Mother was preparing to accept the power of star-like consciousness, she usurped the power of the old Swamp Mother, put the old Swamp Mother into a deep sleep and sealed its body under the swamp.
.
The Mother of the New Swamp, who was reborn from the old body, also possesses the "fairy tale book", or in other words, the "Fairy Tale Book" has been integrated into the consciousness of the Mother of the New Swamp, which is embodied in the change of the form of the Mother of the New Swamp: possessing human beings
Female upper body shell.
And a rare move that does not meet the definition of an evil god - cooperation with humans.
All the former servants of the old Swamp Mother were abandoned by the Swamp Mother, and only some of the servants who were non-killing, or had "human nature" were retained.
For example, Ying Chuo people, such as six-legged monsters.
Banyan trees are barely included among them. They do not possess human nature. They only have instincts like plants, and they will only obey the mother of the swamp to protect this swamp.
Lu Li thought of the banyan tree and said nothing.
Of course the story doesn't end here.
The followers of the Old Swamp Mother began to plot a conspiracy to awaken their mother.
They are half successful.
The believers blinded the sight of the Swamp Mother and entered Shadow Town, using the residents of the town as sacrifices and using blood sacrifices to call out the sleeping Old Swamp Mother.
However, these were eventually noticed by the Swamp Mother, who suppressed the old Swamp Mother who was about to awaken, and sent her servants into Shadow Town to fight against it.
Then Lu Li arrived and saw what happened with his own eyes.
The outline of the black robe finished speaking, and Lu Li calmly explained a fact: "You said that the Mother of the New Swamp has humanity, but she did not save the residents of Shadow Town."
How many survivors are there in Shadow Town, which has a population of several thousand? Ten? Or twenty?
The outline of the black robe just answered with a certain meaning: "This is why an existence like my lord is called an evil god by you."
They are not human after all.
It may ignore a nest of ants in the backyard, but it won't take care of them when a rainstorm comes.
After a slight silence, Lu Li asked: "Who are you?"
"The consciousness of our Lord's followers."
The outline of the black robe bowed slightly, and the common words sounded together.
Lu Li was noncommittal, his gaze passed over the outline of the black robe and landed in the dark hollow of the huge locust tree: "Tell me how I can help the Mother of the Swamp."
They moved towards the giant locust tree again. Anna raised her head, and the roots hanging down from the canopy of the giant banyan tree were like stone pillars reaching the sky. They approached the huge banyan tree along the only road, as if they had entered the ruins of a giant kingdom, small and insignificant.
In Lu Li's eyes, these gigantic scenes were weird and spectacular. In Anna's eyes, this giant banyan tree was releasing predator-like pressure all the time. She was about to be forced out of her mental projection just by getting close to the banyan tree.
The outline of the black robe stopped under the banyan tree. The dark tree hole more than ten meters high was like the gate of the ruins. It turned around and answered Lu Li's question: "Follow your inner choice."
"Be more specific."
Lu Li was not satisfied with the ambiguous answer.
The outline of the black robe lowered the hood, and it was still the same female voice as before: "We cannot sense, imagine, or understand the battle between my lord and the mother of the old swamp, and my lord did not teach us how to do it."
That is, there is no "right answer" option.
After answering Lu Li, the silhouette in black robe said to Anna, whose scarlet eyes flashed: "Friends of the guests, please stop here. Only guests can enter from now on."
Anna, whose breath and mood were unstable, looked coldly: "This is different from what was promised."
"The guests are not affected by my lord, the mother of the old swamp, and the corpse of the banyan tree, but you are not among them. You should have noticed this."
"Your master has already promised me entry, and now he wants to go back on his word?" Anna replied coldly.
She wanted to say something, but Lu Li suddenly asked: "Is it right?"
Anna paused, her scarlet eyes avoiding Lu Li's gaze, not daring to look directly at him: "Uh... um."
"Stay outside and wait for me."
Lu Li said, and Anna raised her head unwillingly, only to see Lu Li continue calmly: "If I don't come out, go find Aunt Mary, and go with her to find Tesla. He can help you reach the Lennon Islands smoothly.
"
Anna clenched her fists and for the first time did not obey Lu Li's arrangement: "If you don't come out, I will demolish this place."
"Then go find Aunt Mary." Lu Li said.
Anna stared at Lu Li's face, then nodded.
"good."
Lu Li finally looked at the outline of the black robe: "I can't stay in the darkness for long."
The outline of the black robe lowered his head and replied: "My Lord knows that as a human being, you cannot withstand the disasters of the night. It has already been prepared. No matter where you are, the light will be with you."
"Won't the light go out?"
"Unless my lord loses, I think the mother of the old swamp may not be able to let you go then."
Lu Li didn't say anything. He looked at Anna one last time, then turned and walked into the dark tree hole.
Anna and the outline of her black robe floated in place, silently watching the figure holding the oil lamp appear in the light, and then the moment they stepped into the darkness, they were swallowed by darkness.
…
Qiao Qiao felt a little relieved.
After Lu Li and Anna's figures were obscured by the hilly roots of the huge banyan tree, Qiao Qiao was momentarily frightened.
Until not long after, a six-legged monster approached with an oil lamp, and the shadow figure appeared to guide her on the way out.
Although he still felt afraid of them, Qiaoqiao began to understand why Lu Li never had any prejudice against monsters.
Holding an oil lamp, Qiao Qiao followed Yingchuo Man into a deserted path.
There is no need to walk carefully through the dangerous banyan tree jungle. The banyan trees on both sides of the path keep a safe distance from Qiao Qiao.
Qiaoqiao relied on previous memories to roughly infer that the direction ahead was south. If the trail continued straight ahead...
She looked into the distance.
Coastline?
Just as Qiao Qiao was thinking wildly, a weak, faintly audible call sounded on the dead path where only footsteps could be heard.
"Jojo..."
Qiaoqiao's mind went blank for an instant, and she stared stiffly behind where the call came from.
A few dozen meters away, on the forest path sprinkled with blood-red light, there seemed to be a dark silhouette approaching staggeringly
There was still an inaudible call coming from the dark shadow. Without even thinking about it, Qiao Qiao pulled out the psychic gun and aimed at the approaching dark shadow.
At a certain moment, a call seemed to drift to Qiaoqiao in the wind and fell in her ears.
"Sister...I am...I am here..."
Qiao Qiao was stunned and looked in disbelief at the rickety figure that was getting closer and trotting towards her.
"Brother...Brother!?"
She had vaguely seen Oliver's face.
Qiaoqiao couldn't understand why his dead brother appeared in front of him.
Tears fell from his face, Jojo murmured in a low voice, looking at Oliver who was rushing towards him.
"elder brother……"
Her finger slowly left the trigger and lowered the arm holding the psychic gun.
