Ding Meng thought deeply and said: "Now that we can neither fly out nor enter the Endless Forest rashly, there is probably no good way to return to Healthy Town."
Kazama Shindao: "However, the anti-reconnaissance system of the Butcher is quite good. It can lurk in the border area for the time being. It will be fine for a while, but if a large advanced starship comes, we will have to find another hiding place.
.”
Ding Meng nodded: "In that case, let's take a short rest on the Butcher first. I'll go back to Healthy Town to see if there is any good way to avoid the beast tide..."
"No!" Jun Ling suddenly interrupted him, "We can go to the shelter."
"Shelter?" Ding Meng was curious.
Jun Ling said: "I know the place. It's on the sea. With this starship, we can get there."
Like many habitable planets, Medi Star only accounts for a small part of the land. The surface of the planet is mostly covered by the ocean. There are naturally islands above the ocean. The shelter Jun Ling refers to is located on the island.
The island is not small. It is like a green gem inlaid in the center of the ocean. The original ecological environment here is obviously pure and natural. The blue water gently laps the golden beach. There is a circle of coconut trees around the beach. Towards the island
Once inside, there is a dense forest. This place is obviously the opposite of the endless forest.
The endless forest is damp, dark, cold, lifeless, and rains constantly, but here it is sunny, green, and full of life. You can even hear the chirping of insects and the grunts of various small animals in the forest.
A huge old tree in the center of the island has blended in with the surrounding vegetation, just like a twilight old man sitting on the ground. Although his body is a little stooped, you can feel his kind and gentle aura.
There are many dilapidated wooden round castles built up and down the tree trunks, which are obviously used for living. However, judging from the dilapidation of the wood, it seems that no one has lived in this place for many years.
Seeing these wooden houses, Jun Ling's tone was both proud and sad: "I was born here. I was sent to the prairie when I was five years old. This is my first time back."
In fact, she was not the only one. As soon as Little Arrow, Little Leopard, Elephant Qinqin and others set foot on this land, a group of people cheered and ran around happily. Little Leopard and Elephant were still rolling on the grass. It was obvious that they were interested in this place.
The emotion is so deep that returning to this place is like a child returning to his own home after a long absence.
Kazama really wondered: "You were sent out at the age of five? But you didn't have transportation at that time. How did you land at such a long distance?"
Jun Ling replied: "All five-year-old children will be forced to leave the shelter. There are only two ways to get there. One way is to swim. Just swim over."
Kazama's electronic eyes flashed wildly, and he was obviously shocked: "Are you sure you're not kidding me? The coastline of Healthy Town is close to a thousand kilometers at least, and a five-year-old child, even a child prodigy, probably can't swim across it.
"
Xiaojian came over and said, "Mr. Feng, no one can swim across directly, but if you can tame the underwater swordfish, it will carry you over."
Xue Yueshan's eyes flashed: "Isn't that swordfish you mentioned not so easy to tame?"
Xiaojian was silent for a long time before saying: "Back then, our group set out together, and we all took care of each other in the sea. In order to tame a swordfish, my only sister was buried in the sea."
His tone was not sad, but rather gratifying, because for people from a fighting nation like them, death was a common occurrence, and as long as they did not die in the mouth of a monster, it would be a blessing.
What's more, sleeping in this beautiful sea is a kind of relief and a lucky rest, so Xiaojian doesn't look sad.
However, Kazama Zhen suddenly understood that if a group of children wanted to go from the shelter island to the prairie, in addition to being very good at swimming, they also had to be good at hunting. More importantly, they had to learn to unite and cooperate. Who wants to do it alone?
If you try to be a hero, you will never get through it, and you can only drown in the sea.
Perhaps for people like Jun Ling, the first lesson in their lives is to learn to survive at sea and face the death of their companions for the first time. Before that, they were all children and had their own happy childhood, but this time
After that, they become adults, and when they reach the other side, they become warriors. They have to pick up weapons and start fighting. From then on, they face endless killing and painful death. They live like this throughout their lives...
For a moment, Kazama was really filled with emotion: "If our children from the Federation Empire had one-tenth of their understanding and ability, where would there still be the existence of the Frogman Nation of the Devouring Realm? It would have been destroyed long ago, and even the scum would be gone.
None are left."
Xueyueshan was always too lazy to answer this kind of topic. He looked around and said, "The scenery in this place is really nice. I won't feel lonely even if I live alone for decades."
Kazama really sneered: "Stop bragging, you really have to live in this place for decades. This is another predatory world, and the environment is polluted like a cesspool."
Xue Yueshan finally couldn't help it anymore: "Little thing, since you know that Labor and Capital are people who prey on the world, can you save some face for Labor and Capital..."
…
The two people were taunting each other, Jun Ling and others were also running into various houses, but Ding Meng was the only one standing in front of the ancient tree, lost in thought.
Xiao Ai spoke up: "Ding Meng, I checked that this big tree is actually an energy carrier. It is constantly absorbing the surrounding energy."
The mental vision shows that bits and pieces of source energy in the air are constantly entering the surface of the big tree. The big tree is like a source energy user, and such a huge body can absorb it much faster than the source energy person.
Moreover, in the core of the center of the tree trunk, there is a radiant multicolored sacred stone inlaid. It exudes a strange wave, which is very soft and warm, making people feel very comfortable, like bathing in the sun.
Xiao Ai was a little surprised: "I can't analyze the composition of this wave. It seems to have the characteristics of all energy such as source energy, crystal energy, light energy, electrical energy, biological energy, polymer energy, etc., and even has the slightest hint of Shenguang technology.
, and there are also some unknown features..."
Ding Meng said: "It's normal. It is very magical because I have seen this kind of tree before."
"Have you seen it?" Xiao Ai was even more surprised.
Ding Meng raised his head and looked at the ancient tree silently, his eyes full of piety: "Do you know its name? It is the holy tree."
Xiao Ai was surprised: "Holy tree? I remember you mentioned that in your hometown of Dasheng Kingdom, this is the so-called holy tree?"
Ding Meng nodded slowly but firmly: "Yes, I am absolutely not wrong. I have seen the holy tree more than once. Although I was not a source of energy at that time and could not feel its energy fluctuations, even if it is an ordinary
As soon as people get close to the sacred tree, they will immediately feel the breath of the Holy Spirit, which is lively, gentle, joyful and sacred."
Xiao Ai said: "So, the stone inside is the Holy Spirit?"
Ding Meng said: "I don't know. Anyway, the Holy Spirit of Dasheng Kingdom is not solid. This is obviously what Jun Ling and the others call the Divine Stone. One thing I am sure of is that the Holy Spirit and the Divine Stone should both be energy and come from the same source.
It’s other energy.”
Xiao Ai also saw through Ding Meng's vision that although the ancient tree was absorbing source energy, the surface layer also fed back bits and pieces of source energy. These source energies were different from the original source energy in the air. It seemed to be absorbed by
After the ancient tree was transformed, it spread out and spontaneously searched for the target.
The target was naturally Jun Ling and his group. The transformed essence automatically attached itself to their skin and then entered their bodies, but these people didn't even know it at all.
Xiao Ai seemed to have some realization: "It turns out that their physical fitness is so good. This is the reason. They have been nourished by source energy since they were young. This holy tree is really magical."
"If there was an induction cabin, they would get twice the result with half the effort." Ding Meng said silently, "The magical effect of the holy tree is far more than this. When I was an ordinary person, I was injured or infected with the plague. I ran to
Rest close to the area covered by the sacred tree, and you will be fine after a few days."
Xiao Ai said silently: "If this kind of thing is found by those so-called Devouring Monsters, the consequences will be unimaginable. No wonder there are thousands of monsters in the Endless Forest. It seems that the Holy Tree can nourish all living things."
Ding Meng said: "Actually, holy trees also have shielding capabilities. I have heard Sister Wenhe say before that in our Dasheng Kingdom, no matter how powerful the source energy user is, if they want to use source energy perception, it is difficult to find the holy tree.
You can only look for it with the most authentic feelings of ordinary people, or with the naked eye. To a certain extent, the holy tree also has the ability to protect itself."
Xiao Ai immediately broke away from Ding Meng's mental vision and used Ding Meng's source energy to detect it again. He found that it was exactly as Ding Meng said. The tree in front of him seemed ordinary and there was nothing special about it.
"So, we are relatively safe for the time being!" Xiao Ai analyzed.
Ding Meng shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, the monsters in the Endless Forest are not afraid of water. If according to Jun Ling's statement, once the beast tide breaks out, Healthy Town falls, and the Endless Forest expands to the coastline, monsters will be able to enter the ocean sooner or later.
I will also touch this place."
Xiao Ai said: "What should we do?"
Ding Meng sighed: "Let Jun Ling and the others use the induction cabin to practice martial arts and martial arts first. With their qualifications, they should make rapid progress. By then, they can withstand it for a while. If they really can't resist, we will
We can only forcefully take off and try our luck in space."
Xiao Ai also sighed in a rare way: "I don't think if you drift in the depths of space, you will be as lucky as last time."
Ding Meng turned around and said: "Let's get on the ship and integrate the resources of the Butcher. It's best to have some special gadgets and use them as much as possible!"
