Chapter 1707: Black pine forest
The gloomy jungle is shrouded in a quiet and strange atmosphere. Looking in any direction, only the black giant pines and the shrubs that grow in the horizon can be seen through the canopy. With a narrow gap, you can see that the sky was cut by the grotesque weird branches. The original bright sky didn't know why it was dyed with a layer of weird lavender, and under the canopy, the layer seemed to be forever. The mist that will not dissipate is gathering from all directions.
The caravan travels on a forest road. The road that seems to be symbiotic with the black pine forest itself is quite wide. It is covered with old and broken stone slabs. On both sides, you can see the neatly arranged lights that resemble the wood petrification. The column, this road stretches in the forest, the front leads to the endless fog, and the back... is also the endless fog.
It is not a strange thing to distinguish directions in the black pine forest. Experienced travellers know that as long as they walk along a fixed road and choose the road strictly according to the sign of the fork, they will always go out. A weird forest, but now, this rule seems to have failed.
There is no crossroads, no signage, and only endless roads under the feet. It spreads in thick fog, as if to drag the team into the endless abyss and extend in the forest, and the forest itself is quiet and terrible at the moment.
"The situation is a bit wrong..." Charlemagne said seriously. "It will take a long time from the previous door to enter the black pine forest to meet the first fork, there will be two roads to the north and the west... But what we are going now is obviously not one of them."
Hao Ren frowned and knocked on the data terminal on his shoulder: "Have we been through the road before?"
The data terminal's answer is short: "No."
Vivian looked at Ai Wenna: "How many times have you been to the Black Pine Forest?"
Ai Wenna looked a little uneasy. She shook her head slightly: "I only came here once before. It was still very small. I visited Greenway with the ambassador and then took a tour of the edge of the Black Pine Forest. ......"
Hao Ren said: "Hey, I haven’t had any experience in this operation for a long time, and I really dare to choose this path."
“Even the imperial people rarely have the experience of walking through the black pine forest, let alone the Iso people on the other side of the planet,” Avenina said a little reluctantly. “But we know a lot about the black pine forest, that All of our country's adventurers personally measured and tested them. Before we set out, we have already used this part of knowledge as a pre-selection plan.
"Well, innocent little princess, now I want to tell you one thing, never overestimate your ability to adapt to the unknown," Vivi quietly looked at Avenina. "Now your knowledge. It doesn't work."
Ai Wenna wrinkled her nose, but in the end did not refute anything, but asked: "Do you want to stop the team now?"
"Don't stop, the energy of these cars is enough to support them to run for the next millennium, and we still have shields," Hao Ren waved his hand, "terminal, record environmental parameters, we go deeper, maybe we can find something ""
This is undoubtedly a more risky decision. Charlemagne and Avenina are quite vocal about this, but Hao Ren has experienced countless bizarre and dangerous things (such as grabbing bones from a hundred years of dog demon and talking to God). Standing on the street, so there is almost no tension. Given that the latter is the actual owner of the team, the prince and the princess can only accept this decision.
"The fog is very strange..." After the team continued on the road, Ai Wenna looked at the dense fog around him. "The black pine forest also has a foggy record, but there is never such a large fog that lasts so long. These fogs give me a bad feeling...it's like something is staring at myself in the fog."
"Is it because the imperial soldiers did not catch up?" Charlemagne has already held the sword in his hand, and he is alert to the changes in his surroundings. Although the caravan has a strong shield system, it still holds the sword. It gives him a sense of security more than that transparent shield. "If that's the case... then the situation is not so good..."
"Don't be so nervous, calm down, because this little thing is a mess, but it doesn't match your performance." Hao Ren said with a hand, then looked at the terminal, "What did you find?"
The surface of the data terminal is shining, this is the sign that the sensor is working: "There is no problem with the environmental parameters. No signs of space folding or disorder are found. It is very strange... The radar of this machine can not find any abnormalities, but we are The fog is spinning inside..."
Hao Ren frowned and thought: "Locating Nolan, the test and her relative position change."
"...cannot locate, can determine the signal of Nolan, but can not determine the relative position change."
"It's a bit interesting," Hao Ren looked at Lily. "Do your nose work in this situation?"
Lily rushed to his fangs, but still carefully sucked his nose and smelled the smell around him: "Hey... I can only make sure that we are not in the circle, indeed walking along a one-way road." , bat, your voice is not very good, but also can penetrate the fog, you try?"
"Don't be noisy, I'm trying," Vivien glanced at Lily, then frowned. "Strange... can only detect the situation around a few hundred meters, and a little further is a chaos, it seems There is nothing like there."
When I heard Vivien’s words, Hao Ren’s heart suddenly moved.
He then focused his attention and focused his attention on a certain direction in the forest, excluding everything from unrelated interference and carefully searching for the “real face” of the world.
As you watch it, the trees and roads in the distance are slightly blurred.
"Sure... let's fall into the trap," he retracted his eyes and turned back to take a look at Leia's shoulder, who was seriously in a daze. "Leah, wake up and wake up, focus on this side and need your help." ""
"Ah?" Leah looked at him inexplicably. "What is it?"
"Look carefully around."
"Oh." Lia smugly agreed, then shifted some of her attention from the ontology to the mass projection.
She originally only put less than 10% of her energy on the projection side, so whether it is thinking speed, observation ability or even self-existence, it is similar to Hao Ren, but at the moment, with the transfer of some gods, she suddenly wrinkles. The eyebrows gently slammed.
And with her suspicion, the black pine forest changed steeply.
The endless fog of the surrounding area is like a submerged light that is quickly faded into a mist that is too thin to affect the line of sight. The layers of trees seem to be much more solid than before, and the chaotic shadows that interfere with the line of sight vanish. The skylight between the canopies is still weak, but it has recovered a few minutes, and the road ahead of the team has finally become clear.
A breeze blew through the jungle, and the sounds of all kinds of birds and beasts blew into the ears. Hao Ren suddenly realized how far the forest had been quiet before, and he did not feel the violation until a minute ago!
"What happened just now?" Charlemagne and Avenina were all overwhelming. They were "lost" and faintly back on track. They only thought that the autistic children in the team were simply Lia girls. More and more amazing...
"Between the real and the virtual," Leah turned her mind more and shifted her mind to become clearer. She also took the initiative to speak. "I don't know what happened. Just walked in the gap between the real world and the false world, and the more The more you drift toward the direction of the false world, fortunately it was discovered early, otherwise..."
Rao is in the mood of Charlemagne. At this time, there is a layer of white hair sweat: Although I don’t know what the fake world means, but I know the situation just now, he knows how dangerous it is: “If you find it later... what will happen? kind?"
Leah thought for a moment: "Then I have to ‘咦’ and it’s so stupid that we can come out.”
Charlemagne amp; Avenina: "..."
Hao Ren really wants to remind Leah to pay attention to the way she talks. It is easy for her to make the Charlemagne brothers and sisters mistake the difficulty mode of this journey. Looking back, the two think that the world is easy mode to run to challenge the ultimate survival.
At this time, Lily curiously asked: "What is the ‘false world’? Is it different from the illusion?”
"Not the same," Lia shook her head. "The illusion is just a fantasy. It is a man-made or natural illusion. It is essentially the same as watching a movie. The false world is completely another thing. The world is not only one in operation. Possibility, sometimes it will face a variety of opposite development results, but there is only one reality, or only one for the observer, so the possibility of failure to achieve becomes a 'hypothesis', then It is a false world. Under normal circumstances, the false world is covered in the real world, short-lived, fragile, undetectable, and always in a state of annihilation and re-generation, but I don’t know what is going on here... The false world has been strengthened to the point of inconspicuousness. It can even appear parallel to the real world, dragging things from the real world into the unrealized history... This is a strange place."
Hao Ren nodded as he listened. He knew that there was a similar concept in the theory of information. However, Lia’s explanation was obviously easier for ordinary people to understand, so there was no interjection. He is just curious: Why is this abnormal phenomenon suddenly appearing in this black forest?
But in any case, the real road has reappeared at this moment. In theory, as long as you walk along the road under your feet, you can reach the place with signs. So after appeasing some uneasy guards on the other two cars, Hao Ren ordered the team. Keep going.
But at this moment, a soldier who was responsible for observing the situation of the former team suddenly pointed out the road and made an alarm: "Attention! There are unknown teams in front!"
I saw that in front of the stone road, a team of soldiers who could not see the calendar appeared to appear in the mist. 8)
