Laws of the Other World

Chapter 17 The Fruit of Elpis

Its name is "Elpis", and once it grows up, it is an A-level creature.

The name "Elpis" comes from the goddess of hope in Greek mythology. She was once locked in Pandora's treasure box. When the box was opened, all kinds of disasters flew out from it. Only Elpis remained in the box. inside.

As an A-level creature of the Nibelungen, it has extremely rich nerves. Although it does not have what humans call a "brain", it has the ability to think and perceive complexly.When Zhou Qing saw the information of this creature, he had a feeling that it would become a breakthrough to cure his brain tumor.

The Juli Group has been in the Nibelungen for many years.This particular plant, Elpis, has been one of the focuses of their research, but not only have they never had the opportunity to obtain its fruit and seeds, let alone sample them.

And at this moment, Zhou Qing actually held its fruit in his hand?

All that just now was not an illusion.

That S-rank creature really came!

But what is his purpose of helping himself in this way?

Well, no matter what his purpose is, he has nothing worth being taken away by the other party.

If it is his life, he can give it to him... There is nothing unfair, and he will not feel sorry.

Instead, he appreciates him.

The aroma from Elpis seems to have a calming effect.Zhou Qing felt that his thoughts were galloping in a wilderness, galloping with the wind, with boundless freedom.

He fell asleep.

"Zhou Yu! Zhou Yu! Wake up!"

Someone was slapping Zhou Yu's face, and Zhou Yu sat up suddenly, almost knocking off Wu Yun's nose.

"My God, you slept so deeply. Even Dr. Daniel woke up earlier than you." Wu Yun looked at Zhou Yu and raised his hand to cover his forehead.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Yu asked.

"It's nothing, I thought you had a fever. But your temperature is normal."

Wu Yun got up to wake up Han Li and Li Qian.

Zhou Yu pressed his face, he felt incredible.

How is this going?How could he sleep so deeply?

He is obviously a very vigilant person, but after closing his eyes last night, he was not at all wary.

Looking down at the little thing again, it was sleeping soundly, without any reaction.

"Hey, if you think there is something wrong with it..." Wu used his gaze to hint at Zhou Yu's gun.

"I thought you would say that you must take it back to the base for research."

"That's what I mean. Even if you think there is a problem with it, we have to bring it back to the base. It has high research value." Wu Yun nodded.

Zhou Yu didn't want to pay attention to him, so he put the little thing into the silk scarf, tied it around his waist, and continued to walk forward.He looked at Zhou Qing.

I don't know if it's because of sleeping all night, but Zhou Qing's spirit looks much better than yesterday.Not only the spirit, but even the face is no longer so pale.

"Professor Zhou, you can give me something. I'll help you recite it." Dr. Daniel suggested.

"No, thank you. I think today is fine." Zhou Qing not only respected Dr. Daniel, but was even more grateful.

Li Qian and Han Li's spirits were obviously not as good as Zhou Qing's. They both lowered their heads and rubbed their eyes.

Wu Yun came in front of them, clapped his hands and said, "Hey! Pull yourself together! Try to get out of here today!"

"Actually, we were really lucky. We were not attacked by dangerous creatures throughout the night." Dr. Daniel said.

Li Qian and Han Li nodded and felt that they were extremely lucky, but Wu Yun and Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing knew very well that the safety of the night was mostly because the S-level creature was protecting them, but he couldn't tell everyone.

First, it would cause panic, and second, with Zhou Yu's character, he would definitely want to protect him and cut off his communication with that S-level creature.

But Zhou Qing didn't want such a thing to happen.He wanted to know more about that S-rank creature.

Not only because of the scholar's thirst for knowledge, but also because he longs for the other party deep in his mind.

There seemed to be some resonance between him and the S-rank creature.

He wanted to keep this unique tacit understanding.Even if the ending is that he becomes the other party's prey.

"Probably because we were all injected with inhibitors, and didn't emit any hormones that were marked as prey." Zhou Qing replied.

"Maybe." Zhou Yu withdrew his gaze.

"Okay, don't waste time, keep going." Wu Yun saw that Zhou Yu didn't seem to intend to pursue the answer, so there was no point in persisting on his own.

"Are you sure we are going in the right direction?" Li Qian asked Wu Yun uncertainly while walking.

Wu Yun raised his hand and glanced at his watch. A special compass was installed on his watch, which can distinguish the direction with the magnetic field of the Nibelungen.

"Our direction is right, but in order to avoid the double-headed tarantula, we took a long way." Wu Yun replied.

"It's not like you won't be able to leave before tonight?" Han Li asked worriedly.

"Probably."

Wu Yun thought that his answer would make everyone nervous, but he didn't expect Li Qian and Han Li, the two people with the most emotional ups and downs, to be very calm.

They walked for a while, and the little guy around Zhou Yu's waist arched, as if he had woken up.It poked its head out from the silk scarf, opened its big eyes, and looked up at Zhou Yu.

"Hey, it's awake!" Han Li walked to Zhou Yu's side and touched the top of its head with his fingers.

It turned its head to look at Han Li, with an expression that seemed to be smiling. It licked the back of Han Li's hand with the tip of its tongue, and then rubbed its head, like a little lazy cat.

Han Li was also amused by it: "Do you think we should give it a name?"

"Look, it's black all over, why not call it black coal ball!" Wu Yun suggested solemnly.

Han Li gave him a blank look: "What kind of name is that?"

"Call Xiao Hei." Li Qian also came over to join in the fun, "Xiao Hei, are you hungry?"

After finishing speaking, Li Qian stretched out the unfinished half of the compressed biscuit in front of it and shook it.

The little guy's head followed Li Qian's hand to the left and then to the right. Every time Li Qian put the biscuit to its mouth, it would open its mouth and close its eyes, but Li Qian would move his hand away again, and repeated several times. After that, it simply turned its head away, with its small head pressed against Zhou Yu's waist, and ignored Li Qian to express its dissatisfaction.

Zhou Yu pressed his palm on its small head: "It's better not to name it. You will have feelings after you name it. With feelings, you won't have the heart to hand it over to those researchers for research."

Zhou Yu's words silenced everyone suddenly.

The little thing seemed to understand what Zhou Yu said, and showed him a completely different expression from pity, dissatisfaction and grievance.

That was disappointment.

At that moment, Zhou Yu wondered, could it understand human language?

Before coming here, he had heard that many creatures in the Nibelung had intelligence, and a small number of them... even surpassed humans.

Zhou Yu teased it with her fingers, but it didn't respond at all.Zhou Yu used his index finger to slide along the soft fur on the top of its head, but it stretched out its wings to wrap its head, preventing Zhou Yu from touching it.Zhou Yu was inexplicably amused by this.

"Is that all you want for a name?"

The little guy poked his head out from under the wings, glanced at Zhou Yu, then shrank back, continuing to be angry.

After walking for more than an hour, the humidity in the air was significantly higher than before.

"I seem to hear something..." Wu Yun turned his head.

"It's the sound of water." Zhou Yu replied.

Everyone turned their ears and listened carefully, and the sound of water became more and more obvious.

"Is it a waterfall?" asked Dr. Daniel.

"Seems to be……"

"Suddenly I'm curious, what's the difference between the waterfalls in Nibelungen and those in our world..."

While speaking, Li Qian noticed that Wu Yun's face seemed to have darkened a lot.

When they saw the huge water stream falling from the sky through the gaps between the branches and leaves of the trees, they all raised their heads and said "Oh..."

The water flow of this waterfall is very large and deafening.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the largest waterfall in this virgin forest, and it is also the source of the river in this forest, Angel Point." Wu Yun said.

"This is Angel Cape? It's spectacular..." Zhou Qing sighed, "According to the research data of Juli Group, the ecological diversity of Angel Cape is not inferior to our Amazon!"

"So...there are piranhas inside?" Li Qian swallowed and asked.

"The piranha is already very gentle." Zhou Qing replied.

In the Amazon ecosystem, there are many creatures more ferocious than piranhas, not to mention the Nibelung.

Li Qian's face turned pale immediately.

"Then let's not go near this waterfall!"

Wu Yun didn't say anything, just continued to move forward.Everyone followed him in silence.Li Qian didn't know, so he tugged at Han Li: "Aren't you afraid?"

Han Li smiled wryly and said, "Will it be useful? Wu Yun knows this place very well. If we can go around, how could he not take us around. It must take more time to go around. And the inhibitors in our body Can’t last until then.”

Hearing what Han Li said, Li Qian also lowered his head and remained silent.

The closer you get, the more you can feel the water mist from the waterfall splashing on your face.With that kind of impact, Li Qian has no doubt that if he is hit by the water flow of the waterfall, he will be crushed to pieces.

Below the waterfall is the longest river in the forest - Angel Tears.
