In the withered forest like red glass, Colin was comforting the elf Naxi.
"Little Naxi, try again, maybe it was just an accident."
Naxi was sitting on top of his head with a dejected look on her face, grabbing his hair here and there, her red eyes filled with crystal tears.
When she heard Colin's words, she threw down a strand of blond hair she was holding in her hand, and replied with a flat mouth:
"But little Naxi has tried it once, twice, three times... many, many times!
The door over there is broken, little Naxi can't open it..."
Colin was silent.
At this moment, 6 hours have passed since they entered here. In the past hour, with his encouragement, the elf Naxi kept trying to "open the door" repeatedly...
But even after Nasili had finished eating the original Heart of the Ancient Tree, she still never succeeded.
Pa-ta~pa-ta.
Small teardrops slipped from Naxi's chin and fell on Colin's head.
"Woo...little Naxi can't open the door anymore, it's useless..."
Listening to Naxi's cries, Colin couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.
But soon, he cheered up again.
An hour has passed since I heard the news.
No matter how my mind was fluctuating, it has already calmed down.
After all, in such a desperate situation now, no amount of despair and sighing is of any use.
"Naxi, how do you survive here on weekdays?"
After pondering for a moment, Colin asked.
"Survive?"
"What do you usually eat and drink?" Colin explained.
Naxi tilted her head, thought carefully and replied: "Little Naxi hasn't eaten anything for a long time, except for the sugar gems that the good giant gave me."
She counted the numbers on her fingers and added: "After another hundred sunrises and sunsets, there will be delicious little flowers to eat, although they will not be as delicious as the sugar gems given by the good giant..."
As he spoke, the elf Naxi's voice suddenly dropped again, and she said with a bit of a cry:
"But little Naxi can't open the door anymore, and she can't eat delicious flowers..."
After crying, Naxi's tone suddenly changed. She pulled Colin's hair and asked tentatively: "So, what a giant, little Naxi is so pitiful. Do you still have sugar gems that you are willing to give to cute little Naxi?"
?"
Colin couldn't help but feel helpless after hearing this. He reached out and grabbed the little Naxi who had made a mess on his head, and continued to ask:
"Little Naxi, what do you usually eat to survive when there are no little flowers?"
"Little Naxi doesn't need to eat, just come back here when you're hungry...Although it will feel a little uncomfortable if you stay for a long time, and you won't be happy without eating flowers, but you won't be hungry."
Little Naxi was no longer afraid of him now, she still let him hold her in his hand, and answered with a pout, as if she was a little unhappy because Colin didn't answer her question.
'No need to eat...'
Colin was slightly startled and subconsciously opened his supersensory vision.
Under the super-sensory vision, a layer of golden-green light enveloped the elf Naxi, turning her original red color into golden-green color.
‘This is... some kind of aura similar to the brilliance of humanity and knowledge?’ Colin speculated after careful observation.
All things in the world, as long as they are not polluted by dirty words, can be observed with a dense glow on their body surface under the supersensory vision.
The ordinary ones are all spiritual mist, while the extraordinary ones are all kinds of auras.
The composition of the aura on the elf Naxi's body is somewhat similar to the radiance of humanity and knowledge outside his body.
Apart from this golden-green radiance, the most eye-catching thing is the streams of turbid radiance that are constantly rushing toward the elf.
These lights are dirty gray-brown and uneven. In some passages, you can even glimpse dark brown and strange golden-green colors like sewer sewage.
As they continue to pour in, the golden-green light passing through the elf Naxi's body will act as a filter.
The turbid light stream was stripped into a dull dark brown color, leaving only the same golden-green brilliance that continued forward and was absorbed by Naxi.
‘This may be the reason why Naxi doesn’t need to eat.’ Colin speculated secretly.
Then, Colin frowned again.
His keen perception allowed him to realize that in fact, the golden-green radiant filter on Naxi's body could not completely filter out the dull black and brown colors.
Every once in a while, there will still be some fish that slip through the net and slowly seep into Naxi's body... I don't know if it will have any adverse effects.
Colin was thinking as he looked along those dark streams of light toward its source.
"hiss!"
But the next second, he was suddenly shocked and quickly closed his super-sensory vision!
"What a giant, what's wrong with you? It hurts little Naxi so much when you grab her." Naxi struggled in his palm.
"Sorry." Colin came to his senses and quickly let go of Naxi.
There was still lingering fear on his face.
With a startling glance, he could see clearly the source of the dark streams of light that were constantly coming towards the elf.
The source is none other than the surrounding glass trees, shrubs and other plants that look bare and dead.
However... in the super-sensory state, these trees do not look as gentle as they do under normal vision, and they even have a sense of strange beauty.
The dark red smooth glass that those tree branches turned into looked more like a group of purple-black deteriorating molds under the super-sensory vision, moist and sticky, with countless tiny gray-black hairs poking out, swaying rustlingly in the wind.
Only in the center of the thickest tree trunk, through the group of purple-black mold, can you vaguely glimpse a warm and bright golden-green color.
Colin let out a long breath.
The impact of seeing this scene under his super-sensory vision was even stronger than the projection of gods he saw when he disembarked from the ship.
Thinking of this, Colin couldn't help but look around again.
The dark red earth and purple sky create a desolate and magnificent appearance.
But who would have thought... in the super-sensory vision, these would turn into a corrupt and cold gray-black color.
"Little Naxi, can you tell me what the other places here are like?"
After gathering his thoughts, Colin continued to ask.
"Little Naxi doesn't know either." Naxi shook her head and ran over to him again at some point, "Little Naxi has never been to other places, she only knows this forest..."
Colin frowned slightly.
Next, he carefully asked the elf Naxi about the information here, but she didn't know anything about it.
An hour later, the only information Colin got was——
Naxi has been here since she was born. She was born with the ability to open doors. She likes to eat small flowers and even more likes to eat sugar gems. This forest is very big...
In other places, other information is unknown...
Moreover, Colin also discovered——
In fact, the elf Naxi has no idea when she was born...
According to Colin's estimation, her memory is only about five years at most, and beyond that, it will be chaos.
