Chapter 836 Shadow of the Thunder Swamp and Mythical Strange Sky Breath

It has been more than three months since he met and parted with the strange black-haired man, and he still feels an inexplicable expectation deep in his heart.

Has the other party gone to find the entrance to the "secret kingdom of God"? Has he found it?

The most important thing is, if the other party finds it, will he keep his promise and take him with him?

He has been looking for the entrance to the "secret kingdom" for six years. He can probably feel that the entrance should be opened soon, but he doesn't know where it will be opened. He began to become a little anxious and looked forward to the figure appearing in front of him.

But the person who found him first was someone he didn't expect. His sister came here from the border settlement of the Rain Kingdom and finally found him after all the hardships.

The other party seemed to have suffered a lot. After all, it was not easy to travel far away in this era.

"You are obviously not dead, why don't you come back, do you know that we have been looking for you?"

"Ah, why don't you speak."

"Not only did your heart fall there, but your tongue also fell there?"

He remained silent, and it seemed that he still had no intention of going back.

The younger sister looked at him with extreme disappointment: "You really have your heart eaten by the monster. You are completely bewitched by it. Look at you now, like a walking zombie."

He looked at his sister's eyes and seemed to recall something.

He suddenly said: "Don't look at me like that, just like mother."

Sister: "That's because you didn't shoulder your responsibilities, and you disappointed mother too much."

He said: "It's the leader of the settlement who disappointed me, not mother."

Many years ago.

His father died in an accident while transporting goods.

The mother was the leader of the entire settlement. For the development of the settlement and the tribe, she ordered him to take the team to reopen the trade route.

But it was not that simple.

Young and inexperienced, he encountered a monster on the road, and the whole team was wiped out, leaving him alone to go back in panic.

The first thing he suffered when he fled back was whipping and scolding. As the leader, his mother was merciless and whipped him until he was bleeding.

"Why don't you die outside? Why do you have the nerve to come back alone?"

He left the settlement angrily and became a wandering trader, while his mother announced to the public that he was dead.

These years.

He was indeed chasing something.

But, he was also avoiding something.

He said, "Didn't she say I was dead? Why did she look for me?"

Sister: "My mother is dead. I took the initiative to come to you. The settlement has been in a bad state for these years. The original trade route is now blocked. We can only move around the settlement."

"But the settlement is too barren. We can't survive without a leader to take this trade route. I hope you can go back and continue to lead the team to open up the trade route."

He didn't seem to be too sad when he heard the news of his mother's death. He just stared blankly into the distance.

However, with the death of his mother, he seemed to have loosened a knot in his heart and said something he had never said before.

"Do you think I am useless and a cowardly brother? If there is no other way, you will never come to me, right?"

"Because I am a shame in your eyes."

Sister stared at him, but finally said.

"That's right, but if you come back, can't you wash away the shame on your body?"

He laughed, looking at his grown-up sister, and suddenly felt as if he saw the shadow of his mother.

"My father has been running for the settlement all his life, and he has been through countless life and death. When he died, my mother didn't shed a single tear."

"When I was almost dead from the mouth of a monster, she hung me up and whipped me, just like treating a slave."

"I'm not afraid of death and responsibility, but I don't understand why she treats us like this. Everything my father risked his life to pay didn't even bring her a tear, and her son mustered up the courage to fail miserably, but she only got a cold-blooded whip in return."

"I am willing to fight for my mother, if she is my leader. Sorry, I don't have a leader now."

He remembered the figure he saw in despair and death, the figure who opened the window of the water palace and smiled at him.

"You said I was crazy and that she had eaten my heart."

"So what if that's the case? I'm willing."

"At least!"

"She was willing to smile at me and wave at me, as if she was looking forward to my return home."

She was stunned. It was the first time she heard her brother's voice. When her brother left, she was still a child, and many of her impressions were told to her by her mother.

In her opinion, the other party was an incompetent person, a coward who gave up on himself after failure.

The sister said: "Mother has no choice. She must punish you if you make a mistake. She has to consider the safety of the entire settlement."

He: "I know, because she is my leader, she is also the leader of my father, and we are just her subordinates."

He looked at his sister, who is also the leader of the settlement now.

He asked the other party: "If I go back, are you willing to welcome me with everyone, smile and wave at me sincerely?"

She hesitated, then looked at her brother and said: "If you need, of course I..."

But the elder brother interrupted her, because he saw the result at the moment she hesitated.

"That's it!"

"Leave here, the leader of the settlement I once belonged to."

He stopped talking.

He sat there quietly looking at the clouds in the sky, as if he was still paying attention to when the clouds would fall.

The sister left, with loss and hesitation about the future of the settlement.

Not long after, another figure appeared, walking towards the man dragging the canoe in the wilderness.

He stood up: "You are really here!"

In fact, Helfas had been here for a while. He had just witnessed the conversation between the brother and sister. In the eyes of the sister, this was the continuation and survival of the settlement. In the eyes of the brother, this was a family issue and the meaning of his existence.

In his eyes, the scene he saw was different.

In his opinion, this is the process of a large number of birdman settlements gradually evolving into towns and villages, and it is a microcosm of the evolution of these border civilization settlements from matriarchal clan structures to patriarchal family structures.

In the matriarchal birdman settlements, the other party and his father are subordinates to the mother who is the leader of the tribe.

However, with the development of civilization, the resources and importance of men gradually rose, and they began to demand more. Although they did not have the intuitive analysis of Helfas in their hearts, they instinctively evolved in this direction step by step.

His father was unwilling to be just a subordinate, but the only spouse, and perhaps the actual controller of the settlement.

And he did not want to be just a "slave" continued by his mother, but a beloved child, or even an heir.

However, after thinking deeply for a while, Helfas felt that his perspective was becoming more and more superior, and it seemed a little cold.

At this time, he also came to the other party, looking at this somewhat stubborn and lonely man.

"Maybe I think too much, although the times and civilization are developing in this form unstoppably."

"At least, in the eyes of this individual."

"He really just longs for a home and someone who can love him deep in his heart."

Helfas interrupted the thoughts in his mind and spoke.

"Your sister must have feelings for you, otherwise she wouldn't have come so far to find you."

He said: "But there is no love in the settlement, I can't satisfy them, it's better to stop here than to be hostile to each other."

He paused for a while and continued.

"If I hadn't seen that figure, I might have followed her back, but they can no longer give me the kind of warmth I saw."

"They only roared at me coldly, while she smiled at me."

Helfas didn't say anything more: "I predicted the place where it will appear next time. If you want to take a look, you can go with me and see if you can find the person you want to see!"

He looked at Helfas: "Thank you."

Helfas: "This is what I promised you, and it is also a reward for your information."

The other party has a good habit, and he will definitely do what he promised to others.

——

In a wasteland with scattered wild ferns, the wooden boat was turned upside down on the ground, and two people sat on the wooden boat looking at the distance and waiting.

To this day, the man still didn't know that the person sitting next to him was the legendary god in the Rain Kingdom.

If necessary, Helfas can play a god, but he can also play the role of an ordinary person. He sat there quietly and was no different from an ordinary teenager.

The black-haired man suddenly pointed in a direction: "The secret realm you mentioned will only appear within this range. The last time you entered the secret realm, it should be in that place in this area."

Male birdman: "Yes, but I heard that there are other places far away!"

Black-haired man: "I have confirmed those. They are either rumors or misinformation that someone misread."

Male birdman: "I ran around for it before, but it turned out to be fake."

During the conversation.

There was a movement in the distance.

Helfas stood up, and the male birdman followed him.

Helfas stared at the front without moving, and the birdman immediately became excited when he saw him like this.

"Is it coming?"

In an instant, clouds like mountains and seas fell from the sky.

The whole world seemed like a painting, but someone splashed white paint from the sky, completely submerging the blue sky and mountains in the painting.

It was shocking.

It was also frightening.

The white collapse that came into view was like the whole world was collapsing. The mighty and unstoppable white cloud avalanche was incomparable to the natural phenomenon of alpine avalanches. You could see that everything on all sides was gradually surrounded by white.

Even Helfas was shocked. This was also a wonder he had never seen in his life.

"Is this a cloud?"

The clouds in the distance piled up into mountains, but the clouds and mist turned into swamp forests in the interweaving and fusion. The clouds and mist melted and condensed into endless blue water, like a mirror on the earth.

The blue sky and the lake were connected together, and the heavy cloud mountains connected the sky above and pressed down the blue lake water.

The world.

It became unreal in an instant.

It was too beautiful and too beautiful that people began to forget the dangers.

The barren and barren land became a secret paradise.

And this kind of mythical law power that transcends the mortal world and the feeling of being so strong that it transcends reality, Helfas has only felt it in a few monsters, the giant vine in the full moon land, and the purple fetus of life reproduction.

But now he is no longer the Helfas who knew nothing about this world. Although he still doesn't know much, he at least knows the high-level division of power.

"It's not an illusion, it's a real thing condensed by some kind of power."

"This is not a cloud!"

"But it's a mythical level monster?"

At this time, the man who was dragging the wooden boat beside him shouted.

"This is it, this is what I saw."

"I'm here again, I finally found it, I finally found it."

He was ecstatic, as if he was crazy, he dragged his wooden boat and seemed to be preparing all the time.

And unknowingly.

The wilderness where the two were before had completely disappeared.

The ground under his feet turned into a plant-covered land, and a surging river appeared in front of him.

Behind him was a primitive jungle, but when he turned around and looked back, he could vaguely see ancient ruins and buildings. The broken walls and trees combined together gave him an indescribable sense of dilapidation.

Across the trees, he could see a huge pit lake in the distance. It was the pit left by the magic net after it left the Circular Pioneer City.

But what attracted Helfas's attention the most was something else in the distance.

He looked beyond the limit and saw a super-large building under the Cloud Mountain. Its lower half was covered by clouds and mist, and only the upper half could be seen, as if it was floating in the sky.

Although the building was dilapidated and seemed to have gone through a long period of time without anyone taking care of it, Helfas recognized it at a glance.

He had seen something similar in the Image Bead, and saw the train to the sky circling the spiral shell-like outer shell from the bottom of the building, and finally rushed into the sky.

Even he couldn't help but exclaimed with a little joy.

"Sky Port!"

He finally found what he wanted to find.

Looking up at the sky, he vaguely saw the entrance to the Sky Ladder appearing in front of him.

After 50 million years, the Sky Ladder was still there, and he found one of the entrances.

When Helfas was about to fly to the Sky Harbor, the birdman beside him became quiet unconsciously. Helfas looked at him and saw that he had dragged the boat to the river without knowing when.

He turned his head and looked at Helfas with a happy expression, saying.

"Look."

"She's coming."

"The boat is coming, and she's approaching us."

Helfas's eyes focused, and in the upper reaches of the river, something even more incredible happened.

Clouds and mist gradually emerged from the water, and a shadow gradually broke through the white mist.

Out of thin air, a ship that surpassed this era and civilization appeared. It was a building ship like a palace on the water.

The ship was carved with cloud patterns and decorated with extremely gorgeous decorations.

In addition, many people's shadows could be seen on the ship, but they were too far away, so they seemed looming and illusory.

"Is there really a boat and people?"

"How is this possible?"

Helfas felt something was wrong.

But he could clearly feel that the ground under his feet was real, and the water in the river was real.

Then the boat and the people on it were also very likely to be real.

If it was an illusion, it would be too powerful to be so real that he couldn't see any flaws.

This boat seemed to be heading from this area to the deepest part of the boundless waters, and its destination was the scene that the birdman saw last time, the Yunshan Mountain in the deepest part of the forbidden area.

But as the distance gradually approached.

The shadow of the building ship became clearer and clearer. A beautiful and elegant figure in the highest water palace opened the curtain and looked at the river bank.

Through the wide river, only her upper body could be seen in the clouds and mist.

There is no doubt.

That was a woman who was extremely beautiful.

Wearing a graceful and luxurious robe, she was like a goddess descending on the earth.

The beautiful woman looked at the river bank with an innocent smile on her face, but there was sadness and emptiness in her eyes.

Helfas never thought that what the other party said was all true. He really met a "maid of the gods" here, and the other party saved him.

But soon, Helfas noticed some details that the other party did not notice, and also noticed something wrong.

"Impossible, this is not true."

"This is just an illusion from the last era."

He found that the woman and the figures on the boat were obviously not from this era, because they all had snake-like tails, but most of them were blocked on the boat.

The fog became thicker and thicker, always surrounding the boat.

Helfas originally moved his mental power and wanted to pull out the person standing by the river, but he did not expect that his mental power would lose its sensitivity as soon as it reached out and touched the "fog".

He immediately felt that the uncondensed fog was extremely dangerous, and quickly retreated away from the river, away from the diffuse fog.

"There is something wrong with this fog."

--

The fog had spread all around the surging river.

The birdman dragging the wooden boat stood for a long time.

He also heard Helfas's voice. Helfas immediately judged that it must be an illusion, even if the illusion had flesh and blood, and could even be touched if he got close to her.

But he absolutely did not believe that ordinary snake people from the last era could live to this era. This was completely unreasonable, and Enissa had said that all the wisdom and power objects used in the last era had been extracted.

These wisdom and power objects naturally included the intelligent species with wisdom and power.

He could only guess that these should be people and objects from the last era, which were preserved in a way close to the real thing.

The man turned his head to look at Helfas, and then looked at the ship again.

"Fake?"

The big ship came with thick fog, which was so thick and dense that it seemed to be riding on the clouds and waves. As the other party approached, he could even feel the wind brought by the other party's forward movement and the waves it transmitted in the water.

The water soaked his feet, allowing him to truly feel the rhythm of the other party approaching.

"How is it possible? Look, she's right there."

"She's so real, so beautiful, like a saint who saves the world."

The birdman looked at the shadow on the boat carefully, as if he was trying to tell the truth, but the more he looked, the more he immersed himself in it.

And at this time.

The figure on the boat moved, and she waved her hand and said goodbye to the people on the shore.

For a moment, Helfas seemed to hear someone shouting, which was the language of the snake people.

It means: "Lady Lis!"

And the man standing by the river saw the figure on the boat waving at him, and he didn't hesitate any more. He was very happy, or he didn't know how long he had been looking forward to this scene.

"Look!"

"She's saying hello to me."

"She's right there, as beautiful as last time, and her smile is full of emotion."

After saying that, he didn't hesitate any more.

Helfas stood outside the clouds and said to him.

"She didn't say hello to you."

"She said hello to the people on the shore countless years ago, to those who called her Your Highness."

"She didn't save you either, she just happened to pass by here."

But before he finished speaking, the other party couldn't wait to push the wooden boat into the misty river, lying on it and rowing towards the other party without hesitation.

Helfas fell silent, watching the figure rowing the wooden boat moving forward.

Gradually, the figure of the other party became more and more blurred.

It seemed to merge into the mist.

Gradually, Helfas saw his body turned into foam and twisted into a foamy human figure.

But the foamy human figure was still moving forward, and Helfas could even hear his voice.

The man came under the palace-like boat and shouted to the figure on the high ground.

"Thank you."

"Thank you for saving me..."

In the end, even the voice was swallowed by the foam and remained in it.

He chased after the illusory things that did not exist, and finally he merged into the illusion and became a part of it.

The wooden boat moved forward with the boat, and the man's figure also kept changing between the shadow of the foam and the real shadow, as if constantly reincarnating between life and death.

Helfas was also shocked when he saw such a scene.

"This..."

Helfas immediately understood some of the characteristics of these clouds.

There are indeed phantoms in the mist, but they are not ordinary phantoms, but "living phantoms".

These "clouds" are completely incontactable when they are in the mist state. They can decompose life into the state of mist and gas, and then condense and restore their life forms again. However, they are still flesh and blood, but they can no longer be called living beings. They are just a living shadow.

In the last era.

These mists will only passively devour those life forms at the beginning, such as those who dare to enter the forbidden area. Some of the life forms that appear in the mist now are of this type.

Later, due to the will of a certain master, some dead things that dared to move towards the forbidden area in the deepest part of the sky sea of ​​clouds would be directly dissolved and swallowed.

Finally, at the end of the era, when it was born and became independent, it gradually integrated the Thunder Swamp that had been immersed in it for a long time into itself, and all turned into foam and mist.

And those former substances turned into mist, but occasionally when they leaked out, they would reappear.

The scene that Helfas saw now was the leaked part.

Its true body did not actually appear.

Helfas also roughly understood that the land he was in now should have been a city and a river in the last era, and the place where the birdman was six years ago was a swamp forest and an endless lake.

He witnessed the deep clouds that the building ship was heading for, and couldn't help asking.

"What exactly is this place?"

He didn't know.

Countless years ago, this barren and barren land was called Thunder Swamp,

The giant god breathed out thousands of miles of clouds in the sky, and it was the "cloud" breathed out by the giant god.

Mythical and bizarre: Breath of the sky.
