Chapter 1707 Black Pine Forest

The gloomy jungle is shrouded in a quiet and eerie atmosphere. Looking in any direction, all you can see are layers of black giant pines and wildly growing shrubs.

Through the narrow gap, you can see that the sky is cut into pieces by those strange and jagged branches. The originally bright skylight is also dyed with a layer of weird lavender for some reason, and under the canopy, there is a layer that seems to last forever.

The fog that won't dissipate is gathering from all directions.

The caravan was driving on a road in the forest. This road seemed to be symbiotic with the black pine forest itself. It was quite wide. It was paved with ancient and incomplete stone slabs. On both sides, you could see neatly arranged strange lights that looked like petrified wood.

Pillar, this road stretches windingly in the forest, leading to endless thick fog in front, and... the same endless thick fog behind.

It is not uncommon to find it difficult to tell the direction in the black pine forest. Experienced travelers all know that as long as you walk along the fixed road and choose the road strictly according to the signs at the fork in the road, you will always get out of this place.

A strange forest, but now, this rule seems to have failed.

There were no crossroads, no signboards, and there was only an endless road underfoot. It twisted and spread in the thick fog, extending in the forest as if it was dragging the team into an endless abyss, and the forest itself was terrifyingly quiet at the moment.

"Something is not right..." Charlemagne said seriously, "After entering the black pine forest through the previous door, it won't take long before you encounter the first fork in the road, and there will be two roads leading to the north and the west...

But the path we are taking now is obviously not any of those."

Hao Ren frowned and tapped the data terminal on his shoulder: "Have we passed the fork in the road before?"

The data terminal's answer was brief: "No."

Vivian looked at Evana: "How many times have you been to the Black Pine Forest?"

Evana seemed a little uneasy, and she shook her head slightly: "I have only been here once before. When I was very young, I visited Greenway with the envoys, and then took a short tour at the edge of the black pine forest.

…”

Hao Ren smacked his lips: "Tsk, you have been working here for a long time and you have no experience in operating here. It's a shame that you dare to choose this path."

"Even the Imperials have very little experience walking through the black pine forest, let alone the Ys people on the other side of the planet," Evana said a little stubbornly, "But we know a lot about the black pine forest, so

They are all measured and tested by the adventurers of our country. Before setting off, we had already memorized this part of the knowledge as a pre-selected plan..."

"Okay, innocent little princess, now I want to tell you one thing, never overestimate your ability to adapt when facing the unknown," Weiwei looked at Evana quietly, "Now your knowledge

It doesn’t work anymore.”

Evana wrinkled her nose, but in the end she did not refute anything, but asked: "Do you want the convoy to stop now?"

"Don't stop yet. The energy of these cars is enough to support their operation for the next thousand years, and we also have shields." Hao Ren waved his hand, "Terminal, record the environmental parameters. If we go deeper, we may be able to find something.

."

This was undoubtedly a risky decision, and Charlemagne and Evanna were quite critical of it, but Hao Ren had experienced countless weirder and more dangerous things than this (such as snatching bones from the mouth of a century-old dog demon and fighting with God).

Standing and cursing), there was almost no sense of tension. Considering that the latter was the actual owner of the team, the prince and princess could only approve this decision.

"These fogs are very strange..." After the convoy continued on the road, Evana looked at the thick fog around her and said, "There are also records of fog in the black pine forest, but there has never been such a large-scale fog that lasted for such a long time.

This fog gives me a very bad feeling...as if something is staring at me in the fog."

"Is this the reason why those imperial soldiers didn't catch up?" Charlemagne had already held the sword in his hand at this moment, fully alert to changes in the surrounding environment. Although the caravan had a powerful shield system, holding the sword in his hand was still

It gave him a sense of security more than that transparent shield, "If that's really the case... then the situation wouldn't be good..."

"Don't be so nervous. Be calm. It's not in line with your performance to mess up the situation because of such a trivial matter," Hao Ren waved his hand and said, then looked at the terminal, "What did you find?"

The surface of the data terminal is flashing with light, which is a sign that the sensor is working: "There is no problem with the environmental parameters, and no signs of space folding or disorder are found. It is very strange... The radar of this machine cannot find anything abnormal at all, but we are here

Swirling in the mist..."

Hao Ren frowned and thought for a while: "Locate Nolan, test and change her relative position."

"...Unable to locate, Nolan's signal can be determined, but relative position changes cannot be determined."

"That's interesting," Hao Ren looked at Lily, "Does your nose work in this situation?"

Lily bared her teeth at him, but still sniffed and sniffed the surroundings seriously: "Ugh... I can only confirm that we are not going in circles, and are indeed walking along a one-way road to the depths. Ouch...

, Bat, isn’t your sonar very useful, and it can also penetrate the fog, why don’t you give it a try?”

"Don't make any noise, I'm trying." Vivian rolled her eyes at Lily, then frowned slightly, "It's strange...it can only detect the situation within a few hundred meters of the surrounding area, and further away is chaos, as if

It’s like there’s nothing there.”

Hearing Vivian's muttered words, Hao Ren's heart suddenly moved.

Then he concentrated his attention, focused his sight on a certain direction in the forest, and carefully searched for the "true face" of the world after eliminating all irrelevant interference.

As I watched intently, the trees and roads in the distance became slightly blurry.

"Sure enough... we have fallen into a trap," he withdrew his gaze, turned around and patted Leah's shoulder, who was in a serious daze, "Lea, wake up, wake up, I need your help to focus your attention here.

."

"Ah?" Leah looked at him puzzled, "What are you busy with?"

"Look around carefully."

"Oh." Leah agreed vaguely, and then shifted part of her attention from the main body to the mass projection.

She originally only focused less than 10% of her energy on the projection, so her thinking speed, observation ability and even her own existence were similar to those of Hao Ren and others. But at this moment, as she transferred part of her consciousness, she suddenly wrinkled

He raised his eyebrows and said "Huh" softly.

And as soon as she questioned, the black pine forest suddenly changed.

The endless thick fog around it quickly faded as if it had been washed by water, turning into a layer of mist that was so thin that it hardly affected the line of sight. The layers of trees seemed to be much more solid than before, and the chaotic shadows that interfered with the line of sight disappeared.

, although the skylight shining between the canopies was still weak, it had regained some warmth, and the road ahead of the convoy finally became clear.

A breeze blew through the jungle, and the sounds of various birds and animals blew into his ears. Hao Ren suddenly realized how quiet the forest had been before. He didn't even feel the violation until a minute ago!

"What just happened?" Charlemagne and Evanna were confused the whole time. They were "lost" in a daze and then got back on track. At this time, they only thought that the autistic child in the team, Miss Leah, was simply

It’s getting more and more amazing...

"Between reality and reality," Leah shifted more energy and her thinking became much clearer, and she became more active in speaking, "I don't know what happened, but just now we were walking in the gap between the real world and the false world, and it became more and more...

It is moving more and more towards the false world. Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise..."

Even though Charlemagne was in a state of mind at this moment, he was sweating: Although he didn’t know what the false world meant, he knew how dangerous it was based on the situation just now: “What would happen if it was discovered a little later...

Sample?"

Leah thought for a while: "Then I have to say 'eh' several times before we can come out. That's so stupid."

Charlemagne & Ivanna: "..."

Hao Ren really wanted to remind Leah to pay attention to the way she spoke. Her actions could easily cause the Charlemagne brothers and sisters to mistake the difficulty mode of this trip. What should they do if they think the world is in easy mode and run to the extreme survival challenge and fail?

At this time, Lily asked curiously: "What is the 'false world'? Isn't it the same as an illusion?"

"It's different," Leah shook her head, "Illusions are just illusions, various man-made or natural illusions. They are essentially the same as watching movies, and the false world is completely different. There is not only one world in operation.

Possibilities, sometimes it will face various completely opposite development results, but there is only one reality, or for the observer, there is only one reality, so those unrealized possibilities become 'hypotheses', then

It is a false world. Under normal circumstances, the false world covers the real world. It is short-lived, fragile, and cannot be noticed by others. It is in a state of dissipating and regenerating all the time, but I don’t know what is going on here...

The false world has been strengthened to an incredible degree, and can even appear in parallel with the real world, dragging things in the real world into that unrealized history... This is really a strange place."

Hao Ren nodded while listening. He knew that there was a similar concept in the unified theory of information, but Leah's explanation was obviously easier for ordinary people to understand, so he did not interrupt. He was just curious: this black forest

Why does such an abnormal phenomenon suddenly appear in China?

But no matter what, the real road has reappeared at this moment. In theory, you can reach the place with the sign by just following the road under your feet, so after appeasing the uneasy guards in the other two cars, Hao Ren ordered the team

keep going.

But at this moment, a soldier responsible for observing the situation of the front team suddenly pointed to the end of the road and sounded the alarm: "Attention! There is an unknown team ahead!"

In front of the stone road, a group of soldiers with no clear origin appeared in the mist as if they appeared out of thin air. 8)
