The model mother chasing behind her is not in her prime.
It seemed to be injured, and it never closed the distance with Lu Li.
This is also the reason why it only appeared at the back of the convoy on the third day after leaving Midnight City.
If there was a mount that was faster than the creep horse, Lu Li might be able to get rid of it easily.
The eldest sister can't erase the mark yet - the erasing process will be sensed by the model's mother. If he goes crazy, Lu Li will have nowhere to hide in the wilderness.
One must wait until one is near an area labeled "Plant Habitat."
If there is a forest there that can block the view.
"Get around that mound!"
The elder sister in the hood suddenly screamed.
Far ahead of them, a hilly terrain suddenly emerged above the wilderness.
Lu Li didn't ask what was there and stayed away from the hills.
When he was far enough away, Lu Li turned around and looked behind him.
The dust representing the model's mother did not bypass the hills, but went straight into them.
The diffuse sand and dust obstructed the view, and it seemed like nothing happened...
Susu——
Lu Li slowed down and lowered his head towards the gravel that could be seen everywhere in the wilderness.
The gravel trembled, splashing up dust that covered the ankles, and faint vibrations came from the direction of the hills.
"They can't kill the leader! Run away, you idiot!" the eldest sister grabbed Lu Li's neck and shouted.
Lu Li looked away and continued running.
"What is that."
"The home of the big ant!" The eldest sister sitting in the hood looks like she is riding a horse, bumping up and down: "You can't run anymore!"
"Can."
Lu Li's breathing slowed down and became rapid.
The speed endurance strengthened by the Book of Doomsday is also doubled. Maintaining rapid speed will not last too long, but running for thirty miles is not unbearable.
As the eldest sister said, hills can't kill the model mother. The sand and dust reappeared soon after, but they just put some distance between them.
There are many dangers in the wilderness. Fortunately, the route will be maintained and cleaned up. The model mother's leader's aura will intimidate and drive away the kids around her.
After traveling for thirty miles, the model mother who was chasing Lu Li got close enough to be able to vaguely see its outline, and on the distant horizon, an outline appeared.
The good news is that plant habitat exists in forests.
The bad news is that the forests are dark green and they are...alive.
The dark green forest emerges above the dark and gloomy brown earth, like a ball of life that exists abruptly in the lifeless wilderness.
It doesn't seem like a good idea to rush into the mysterious and strange unknown forest.
"Can we go in?"
Lu Li gasped, his black eyes staring into the depths of the dark green forest.
"have no idea!"
Lu Li is not completely unfamiliar with plant habitats: the origin of Nuno Alexandrovich’s curse.
Besides stepping into the forest, Lu Li had another option, heading to the old site of Luo Lei Fort, which was another thirty miles away.
Although the place was destroyed with the coming of the strange era, the ruins are still there, but there may be strange things occupying them.
Moreover, Lu Li was close to exhaustion if he could continue to reach there.
"Get ready to help me erase the mark."
Lu Li whispered and walked towards the plant habitat.
The dark green forest shadows are silent. The surrounding trees are breathing, they are indeed still alive.
The dense canopy of trees blocked the sky, and the soft rotten soil under his feet was mixed with fallen leaves. Lu Li walked silently through the forest.
The elder sister in the hood took off her twisted mask and placed it on the back of Lu Li's head.
The palm of Lu Li's right hand suddenly felt hot. He opened his palms, one curled up, and spider-like marks slowly appeared on the skin from under the flesh.
At this moment, a sharp scream that pierced the soul came from the outside world.
Lu Li staggered while running and almost fell.
The model mother roared angrily, realizing that the mark was being destroyed.
The curled-up spider mark slowly woke up, stretched out its eight limbs, and revealed the same face as the model on its body.
It seemed to notice Lu Li's gaze and the approaching danger on the skin, and it let out a shriek that was tinier and weaker than the model's mother, and moved its slender eight legs along the palm of the hand to climb up the arm.
Bang.
Before it climbed onto his shoulder, Lu Li pressed the spider mark with his left hand and imprisoned it in his palm.
"It's not a mark, it's a parasite!" The eldest sister screamed from behind.
It became clear what the model's mother was obsessed with chasing after Lu Li: it was using Lu Li's body to give birth to an heir.
"How long will it take to clear it?" Lu Li whispered.
In the quiet forest, all sounds slow down unconsciously.
Maybe something weird lives in this forest, maybe the forest itself is weird.
"...Okay!" After a short pause, the eldest sister shouted in surprise.
At the same time, a touch of humanity poured into Lu Li's body, suddenly dragging him into death retrospective.
…
The bells echoing through the streets gradually faded away.
In a dark room with only an oil lamp lighting up, a woman quietly put down her half-woven basket, walked gently to the bedside, and gazed tenderly at the sleeping little girl.
As if because of her mother's prolonged gaze, the little girl's long eyelashes trembled and she opened her eyes sleepily.
Those lead-colored eyes were still fresh in Lu Li's memory.
model.
Was she once a human?
The little girl's awakening made the woman panic, and she reached out to cover her daughter's mouth in panic.
The light-colored eyes that had not yet been filled with deathly energy looked at her mother kindly, and the ignorant little girl smiled: "Mom——"
The woman's outstretched palm pressed against the warm, empty bed.
Lu Li saw crystal water pouring out of the woman's eyes, and the saddest moment was when it turned into tears.
…
Returning to reality, Lu Li staggered to his feet.
He heard angry roars mixed with sadness and the sound of falling trees, and the model mother broke into the plant habitat.
Is the weirdo the model's real mother?
Why do models who appear to be attacked by the Silent Hour become monstrous?
"The mark is gone!"
The eldest sister's shout awakened Lu Li from his thoughts.
No longer going deeper into the plant habitat, Lu Li turned and ran along the edge of the forest.
A black whip shadow suddenly struck in front of him. Lu Li turned his head to avoid the inexplicable attack, and heard the elder sister in the hood screaming: "The bad tree is attacking us!"
Lu Li looked around.
The forest suddenly came to life.
They were awakened by the intruder, shaking the trunk, waving the branches, and entangled themselves like tentacles.
The eldest sister's head was wrapped around a branch and she was picked up, waving her arms and legs randomly before being taken out of the hood.
Lu Li jumped up and grabbed the eldest sister's leg, but was unable to pull it off.
Tear--
Amidst the tearing sounds, the sutures on the legs split, and the doll's body was almost torn off.
"It hurts!"
The eldest sister screamed in pain.
Lu Li let go, and as he fell, he was rolled up, entangled, and tightened by countless branches.
"Mother, save——"
Snap!
Suddenly there was a crisp whipping sound in the forest, the branches receded one after another, and Lu Li and the screaming elder sister fell headfirst into the soft soil.
A silhouette with feet sunken into the rotten soil stood under a thick tree not far away, holding a slender whip-like branch in its hand.
The body is wrapped in layers of tattered linen and gauze, with only the antlers-like branches growing on the top of the head exposed.
A hoarse whisper sounded like the wind blowing through the woods.
