i can hear your voice

Half of the more than 40 Taoyuan Village villagers who traveled with the Zhongzhou Adventure Team are supernatural beings, and the other half are ordinary people, including some old and weak women and children. Very good, as long as you don't run into danger, you can walk pretty fast.

As for the danger, first of all, the most unpredictable danger, that is, the strange tide will not happen again, because Hei Jing has transferred from the unstable village chief to the stable Ruochu, and she will not trigger the strange tide at will. , and she has already gone south, and the Zhongzhou adventure team is heading north, so it is difficult for the two sides to meet.

The secondary danger is those mutated animals and plants that have absorbed the crystal marrow. In this regard, Ouyang Chun can use his affinity to appease the plant mutants. In terms of animals, Song Mingqing can suppress and disperse them. Baishang's ability, the sufficient material in Lin Zirui's space, and the experience they accumulated when they came, are generally not a problem.

However, Shi Yan encountered some unexpected difficulties. His cat-shaped hair is too long, which is very inconvenient in the dense rain and fog forest. The hair is often caught by the branches, and the hair is too thick and too hot because of too much exercise...

Two hours later, Shi Yan couldn't take it anymore, broke through her "limit" and changed back into a human form.

——It can be said to be an excellent example of how difficulties make people grow.

When changing back into a human form and putting on clothes, it was Ruo Pu who looked at him in the wind, and Ruo Pu focused his attention on the distance...

Suddenly, he heard someone shouting for help.

"Is anyone there? Help!" Xu Jun's voice.

Ruopu: ...that's a surprise!

"Shi Yan, I heard someone calling for help."

"Who?"

"Mr. Xu in Skywalker. I don't know if I really need someone to save her life, or there is some conspiracy, but it sounds like she is the only one there."

The two discussed it, and finally decided that Ruo Pu would go to check the situation, and Shi Yan returned to the team to warn.

Shi Yan: "Be careful."

"Do not worry!"

Xu Jun really needed help. She fell into a hole more than 20 meters deep. There was a circle of poisonous trees at the entrance of the hole. She was weak and unable to resist the poison, so she was trapped in the hole.

After eradicating the poisonous tree, Ruopu walked to the entrance of the cave and looked down: "What a coincidence, we met again. How are you now? Are you injured?"

"...No, no injuries."

"Oh. Why are you here alone? What about Bi Li? Where are your companions?"

"I got separated, let me tell you, this matter has a lot to do with you." Xu Jun raised his head and said seriously.

However, because the cave was too deep and the bottom of the cave was very dark, Ruopu couldn't see her expression clearly at all.

Ruo Pu asked with a smile: "Could it be that I let you get separated and let you fall into this hole?"

"That's right, you knocked me out, which caused me to miss the time to meet up with my companions. Later, I encountered a strange tide. Chased by those wild beasts, I accidentally fell into this hole."

"..." Ruo Pu thought to himself, the strange tide was caused by his sister, so this matter really has a lot to do with him.

In fact, even if he has nothing to do with him, he still has to save someone who fell into the hole. The only problem is that Xu Jun is a member of Skywalker. Although the other party may not say that he has done all the bad things, he is not a good person.

However, as long as they are not bad people with no conscience, they should be saved.

Xu Jun thought he was hesitating whether to save himself or not, so he quickly shouted: "Your sister and I are friends, you must save me! And you saved me, our boss will definitely repay you!"

Ruo Pu: "...why did your boss repay me?" This lady has no father to cheat on, so she decides to cheat on the leader?

"Don't you think his reward will be more weighty?"

"I did not think."

In the end, Ruopu found a few vines and put them into the hole, pulling Xu Jun out.

Just before pulling the other party out of the hole, he reminded the other party: "Say it first, don't use the power on me, or you will bear the consequences."

"No problem, I can't get out of this forest by myself, I won't run." Xu Jun touched the flowers next to his ear, Ruo Pu looked at her hand, and she quickly explained, "I'm just out of habit. Action, I didn't use the ability."

"It's better like this." Ruo Pu said, "Are you and my sister really good friends?"

"Of course!" At this time, no matter what, I have to kill this point.

"Then why didn't you know that she came to the Rain and Mist Forest?"

Xu Jun: ...How many plots did I miss?

"How much do you know about my sister's situation in the southern border?"

"... Her situation may be different from what you imagined."

"What do you think."

"How much do you know about the southern border? Do you know General Su Lin?..."

After listening to the information provided by Mr. Xu, Ruo Pu felt very complicated. I didn't expect it to be like this. His sister is quite tough... If his sister took him to the southern border, she might be able to detain him. Fortunately, He moved people with affection and did not make his sister angry...

However, this time I escaped, what about next time?If he had a conflict with his sister again in the future, how should he resolve it?

"Shi Yan, I think the existence of the Rain and Mist Forest is very dangerous."

"Ah."

"There are too many mutants that have absorbed the crystal essence here. The black crystal can control the crystal essence. If the black crystal carrier has malicious intentions, very serious things may happen."

"for example."

"For example, driving mutated animals and plants in the forest to devour the human living area outside the forest."

"The black crystal carrier you are talking about is your sister? Would she do this?"

"Besides my sister, there are other black crystal carriers." Ruo Pu thought to himself, judging from his sister's behavior of attacking the southern border, maybe he will turn his attention to Zhongzhou in the future... He never imagined that there might be a future in the future. This happened.

"So, what do you think?"

"I think we have to clear all mutant creatures with crystal marrow in the forest north of Junjiang, lest someone use those creatures to invade Zhongzhou in the future."

Shi Yan thought for a while and nodded, but he asked: "What do you mean by clearing?"

Ruopu blinked, then smiled: "I mean to clear the essence of the mutated creatures, not to kill all the mutated creatures."

"Ah."

After being brought into the large army, Xu Jun was quite honest. She didn't provoke the members of the original adventure team, but stayed with the villagers of Taoyuan. Under her deliberate favor, the children got along very well with her good.

When it was only half a day away from the edge of the forest, Xu Jun went out with the female villagers for convenience, and then did not come back with everyone.

If he ran away, he ran away. Ruo Pu didn't chase him. Anyway, he had considered more serious consequences when he rescued him. Now the other party just ran away without doing anything bad, which is already considered a relatively good result.

"She won't be in danger alone, right? That would save her in vain." Ouyang Chun, who is also a female compatriot, was a little worried. In the past few days, Xu Jun got along well with her, and she is glamorous. The eldest sister is big, Xu Jun pretends to be a pure white flower, and the two complement each other very well.

"No." Pei Yannian said, "Her companions have been following us."

"Huh?" Even Ruo Pu didn't notice this.

But if you think about it carefully, it’s also possible, as long as they don’t speak, and then disguise their appearance, such as a bush, if Ruopu roughly scans the past with hearing and sonic radar, even if they find that the other party has signs of life, they will think it is hidden in the bush When you see an animal, you don't necessarily think about the human being hidden inside.

So no matter how powerful you are, you still have to be cautious and not underestimate others.

"Shi Yan, how do you think Dr. Pei knew that Bi Li and the others were following us?" Ruo Pu asked.

"It may have been sensed, or it may have been encountered near the camp at night."

Busy on the road during the day, Pei Yannian has no chance and will not leave the team without authorization. The only personal time is after setting up camp at night. At that time, after confirming the safety of the surrounding area, the capable person leaves the camp for a while to go nearby. No one cares.

"They didn't come into conflict when they met?" Ruo Pu was a little surprised.

"In a place like Rain and Fog Forest, where there are dangers everywhere, it's better not to have conflicts."

Ruopu: "That's right, after all, we bring a lot of civilians here."

However, Pei Yannian should have reminded them that they might encounter certain dangers. Could it be that he judged that there would be no dangers, so there was no need to tell them?

"Shi Yan, I think it's easy for people with great abilities to be overconfident." Ruo Pu expressed his thoughts.

Shi Yan: ... I don't know what you are feeling, no, you are not talking about yourself, are you?

The Taoyuan villagers were arranged to live in Yucheng, and Ruopu and others would rest in Yucheng for one night before returning to Longgang.

In the evening, Ruo Pu received a call from Bi Li, who thanked him for saving Jun Xu, and said that in order to repay, he decided to tell him a shocking secret.

"Xie Weiming, like your sister, also absorbed Hei Jing."

Ruo Pu: Huh? !

"Tell me in detail what Hei Jing is." Ruo Pu said.

Bi Li smiled and said, "I owe you all, right..."

"Well, Miss Xu Jun's life is very precious."

"..."

"I don't know what a black crystal is. I only know that it should come from a meteorite. At the beginning of the supernatural power, seven fireballs fell on the blue star, so there are seven black crystals. They can breed low-level crystals. Marrow, those crystal marrows can be used to stimulate human beings to mutate, black crystals can control the crystal marrow of their own reproduction..."

"Can only control the crystal essence of its own reproduction?"

"It should be." Indeed, Bi Li only felt suppressed when he entered Xie Weiming's sensing range. After Ruo Chu absorbed Hei Jing, he didn't have a similar effect on him.

"This is good news."

"No, black crystals should be able to devour each other. I suspect that devouring each other is equivalent to receiving each other's power." Bi Li laughed, "They are much more cruel than humans."

Ruopu frowned, and said after a while: "You just said that the crystal essence can stimulate human beings to mutate. You missed it, it can also stimulate the mutation of animals and plants."

Bi Li: "The situation in the Rain and Fog Forest should be a special case. Apart from there, I haven't heard of any other places where there are a lot of mutated animals and plants.

"Your sister did a good thing. She took Hei Jing away from the village chief, so there will be no more mutant creatures in the Rain and Mist Forest.

"I didn't expect such a turning point in the 'future'. I thought it was up to you to destroy that forest again, but now it seems that there is no need for it."

Ruo Pu Ruo thought: "In the 'future' you know, my sister didn't take the black crystal from the rain and mist forest?"

"In the 'future' I know, your family did not go to Yuncheng, but has been living in Longgang. You awakened so early, so you were the first batch of patients to be 'admitted' by Ke Pingdong. At this time, you are still locked up. It was studied in the dungeon of Ke Pingdong. The virus in Longgang continued to erupt, and a large number of people in the city died, including your sister. It will take another two years for you to come out of the dungeon. Anyway, when you come out, It's too late."

"...Okay." Ruo Pu said, "If what you said is true, then I can accept my sister going to the south to fight more than this."

Bi Li laughed.

Ruo Pu: "You also have crystal essence in your body, right? Why do you want black crystals? You know that there are many defects in that thing, right? Like that village chief, he has been driven into schizophrenia."

"..." Bi Li said, "No, I didn't understand crystal essence 'before'. 'Before', the world declined too fast and the war was chaotic for too long. When peace is restored, black crystal has long since disappeared from human vision , but it should not be extinct, but hiding, in short, at that time, although human beings knew the existence of the crystal essence, they did not find that there was a black crystal on the crystal essence, or in other words, they did not discover the true function of the black crystal."

Ruopu said in a low voice, "It's like you didn't find a queen bee in the bee colony?"

"Hives? You're right, medulla is more biological than chemical, and 'before' people thought of it more as chemical."
