Chapter 160 River
"Look ahead, oh my God."
The car was driving in a sandstone wilderness, and a shocking sight appeared in the field of vision of Noah and others.
There is a clear and clean stream in front of you. Go up the stream. In the middle of the stream, there are two towering trees, towering into the clouds. Many thick rhizomes are exposed on the surface. The rhizomes alone are as thick as It is far larger than ordinary trees, not to mention their trunks that require an unknown number of people to hug together.
On the other side of the stream, behind the giant trees, is a vast plain. At the end of the plain stands a high cliff, and on the high cliff is a lush and vast sea of trees.
After seeing the two giant trees in front of him, Noah's eyes couldn't help but light up. Not only was he shocked by the scene in front of him, but also because he knew very well what those two giant trees and the river represented.
This is right here, the national border of NGL. After crossing the river, it is NGL’s land.
"Can a car drive inside? You won't have to walk there, right?"
The car stopped under the giant tree. Everyone got out of the car and looked at the dark tree hole between the many roots under the giant tree. The puppet said.
"This tree is really big. I have never seen such a big tree. It is almost the same as the building in the Clown Entertainment City." Ivona reached out and touched an extended rhizome and looked up at the tree on the top. It was a huge tree canopy that could be said to cover the sky and the sun, he said with emotion.
"Such a big tree should be considered the largest tree in the world." Lan also raised his head and murmured.
The world's largest tree?
Hearing his words, Noah couldn't help but smile.
These two trees may be very big, but compared to the World Tree, they are only equivalent to two saplings.
"There is still a long way to go, and it would be a waste of time to choose to walk in this place. []" Noah did not say what he was thinking in his heart, but walked towards the tree hole in front of him.
Raising his hand, the energy gathered in accordance with his mind and turned into sharp claws. Then Noah swung his arm forward and cut off a curved root in front of him.
"Just make a way."
Seeing Noah cutting off the roots thicker than his own body like tofu, Lan's eyes started to beat wildly again. He couldn't imagine what would happen if Noah's hand cut off his body.
In just a short moment, a passage was cleared out of the tree hole connecting the two giant trees.
After passing through the tree hole, the off-road vehicle roared again and drove towards the sea of trees in the direction of the cliff ahead.
"According to this hand-drawn topographic map, we should be at this location now. The location of the bila tree is here. But looking at the cliff in front, if we don't plan to climb up directly, we have to take a detour." Notes, looking at the terrain map drawn by Bell White, the puppet pointed on it and said.
"Let's take a detour and walk from the east side of the cliff." Noah made a decision directly.
So, the car turned and drove towards the east side, facing the cliff. Soon, the rock wall on the side gradually lowered, replaced by a rugged slope and the entrance to the forest at the end.
"It looks like we can only walk from here on, so get off the car."
Under Noah's instruction, everyone got out of the car and walked towards the forest ahead.
"The forest, the air is good. There are no strange smells in the city. It is really a comfortable place." After entering the forest, Leilute took a breath and said.
Turning to look at her, the puppet said, "Although you said so, if you were asked to choose, you would definitely choose the city."
"certainly."
Noah looked around at the scenery and asked, "Puppet, can you tell from the notes where we are going now?"
"Well, this hand-drawn topographic map is quite detailed. The location of the Billa Tree is over there." As he said that, the puppet pointed to the ten o'clock direction on the right.
"Then let's go." As he said that, Noah's Qi expanded outward and released the 'circle'. After releasing the 'circle', Noah said and walked forward: "Although there is a 'circle' , but you still have to be a little more vigilant, after all, my 'circle' range is not very large."
The group of people walked in the direction pointed by the puppet.
After traveling for more than two hours, because Noah kept his "circle" open, the aura emanating from him made it impossible to see even a shadow of the numerous poisonous insects and beasts mentioned in the original notes.
After they crossed a small stream, Noah, who was walking at the front, suddenly flashed his eyes, and Leilute, who was following him, turned his head sharply and looked at a tree in front of him on the left.
It was a tree with lush branches and leaves. The breeze blew, and the lush leaves were gently fluttering. At first glance, there was nothing unusual about it, but both Noah and Ellute knew very clearly that there was something hidden in those leaves. one person.
"It has appeared." Lei Lute muttered softly.
"Huh? Sister Lelute, what did you say?" Yvonne, who was walking beside her, was stunned and turned around to ask.
"Pay attention to your surroundings. I don't know if there are others." Before Leilute could reply, Noah in front said a word, and then disappeared in a flash.
The moment Noah disappeared, the originally calm leaves on the tree trembled, and a black shadow quickly sprang out from it. It seemed that it wanted to escape back into the denser trees, but this time Although people's reactions are very fast, they are still far behind Noah's.
As soon as his body landed, Noah was already standing in front of him.
As if he was startled by the sudden appearance of Noah, the man let out a strange scream, stepped back, and hit his back on a tree trunk. Then before he could see the person in front of him clearly, he felt a lump in his throat. Liang, a sharp claw has been stretched out.
The long hair was tied into several whips and hung down. There were red symbols painted on the sides of the wheat-colored cheeks, the tip of the nose and the forehead. The light green pupils were full of surprise and fear.
Noah looked at the young man in front of him who was similar to his own age and asked: 'Who are you? ’
Hearing Noah's words, a trace of confusion flashed across the boy's face. He opened his mouth and spat out a string of unexpected and unclear words.
Seeing this, Noah was slightly startled: "Don't you speak common language?"
There was a trace of panic on the young man's confused face. He spoke again, but there was still a sentence that he couldn't understand.
At this time, everyone else had already ran over, and when they saw the young man restrained by Noah, everyone looked surprised and curious.
"Is this the so-called savage? He looks similar to us." After blinking, Yvonne came closer curiously.
When the young man saw so many people suddenly appearing, his breathing became much faster. He glanced at Yvonne who was approaching, then looked at Noah, and continued to speak. Although he didn't understand what he said, Noah did. You can hear a hint of anxiety and a hint of pleading in his tone.
"Lelute, explore him." Noah said without paying much attention.
"Understood."
After receiving Ellute's answer, Noah stared into the boy's eyes and asked again: "Can you speak common language?"
The boy's voice was slightly louder, but the words he spoke were still incomprehensible.
"He didn't understand, but I could tell what he meant. He probably said he didn't understand, and begged us to let him go. He meant no harm," Leilute said.
"Don't you speak Common Language? No wonder he's called a savage." As he spoke, Noah let go of his hand and took a few steps back. "But he really doesn't have any ill intentions. It was probably a coincidence that he met us here."
The boy didn't seem to expect that Noah would really let him go. After being stunned for two seconds, he turned around and ran, directly into the trees not far away.
"Is it okay to let him go like this? He might bring others here." Looking at the figure disappearing into the bushes, Lan hesitated and asked.
After looking at him, Noah said: "It is possible, but even so, I will not kill him just because of this possibility. Since he cannot be killed, the only option left is to arrest him besides letting him go. Choice, but if he is captured, his people will know sooner or later, and they will still send people to look for them. They are much more familiar with the environment here than we are, and they will find us sooner or later, and conflicts will still be inevitable. And This conflict was most likely caused by ourselves, after all, he had no malicious intent just now."
But if you catch him, you can at least use him as a hostage at a critical moment.
Lan thought about this sentence for a while, but still kept it in his heart. He knew that he was not qualified to tell Noah anything.
At this moment, a trace of doubt appeared on Noah's face. He slowly turned around and looked at the bushes where the savage boy disappeared. Then within a few seconds, with a "rustling" sound, a The figure emerged from it again.
The savage boy actually left and came back again. .
