Chapter 417 Enchanted Forest, Night Rain in the Capital
Qin Zhiyan didn't hear a single word of what the harvest priest said later, and his mind was in confusion, like a ball of yarn tangled up.
After the people in the room left one after another, she approached the Harvest Priest and asked her biggest confusion:
"Captain Harvest, could you please tell us what happened to Ye Zhi?"
The 3-meter-tall, plump Harvest Priest looked at her and Morey and others behind her, sighed and said:
"You don't want to know the truth. If you really want to know, ask the hermit when he comes back."
…
When night fell, Bai Zhi finally arrived at the Enchanted Forest under the leadership of Night Dire.
Although the latter was somewhat resistant to entering the enchanted forest, under Bai Zhi's order, they still went deep into the forest together.
Here, Bai Zhi saw more mouse-like creatures, and also saw trees that emitted light blue light under the night, acting as natural street lights, as if they were in a fairyland.
According to the news from Night Dire, the rat-like creatures that are stalking and stalking them in the dark are called "Zugs", also known as "enchanted rats".
They generally have no ill intentions toward travelers like her, and their current behavior is probably out of curiosity;
But if you dare to spend the night alone in this forest and fall asleep, you may be attacked by them.
As for those glowing trees, Bai Zhi also knew their names from the knowledge in his memory without Night Dire explaining them -
"Moon Tree".
"I have to say...these trees are quite beautiful at night, but since the 'enchanted rats' will also attack humans who spend the night here, I haven't seen a single person so far."
"It's a pity that Night Dire doesn't know where the entrance to reality is. Only the territorial creature here, 'Charming Rat', knows."
After communicating with Nightmare, Bai Zhi let him go, and he used the 'Charming Thread' to lead a charming rat out of the dense vegetation and walked to his feet.
By controlling the mind of this charming rat, she successfully walked to the foot of a towering giant tree a few hours later.
This giant tree looks like a moon tree magnified more than ten times. There is a cave entrance at the bottom. According to Zuge's guidance, many humans who come to explore Dreamland came out from here. But starting from a few years ago, There are fewer and fewer humans.
——It is probably related to the fact that the dreamland has become more and more dangerous, and the probability of ordinary people getting lost here forever has increased significantly.
In addition, many travelers in the dreamland will also choose to "return to the original route", ending their journey here and returning to the real world.
After the 'Spider Sense' confirmed that there was no danger, Bai Zhi released the charmed rat and walked into the tree cave.
At the same time, pairs of fierce red eyes also stood out in the darkness outside the cave, making chirping sounds.
It seems uneasy, curious, and excited.
As soon as he entered the tree cave, a pleasant aroma of trees became apparent, and there was the same light blue light as the outside above, allowing Bai Zhi to see the straight and undivided road clearly with only his naked eyes.
After walking for tens of thousands of steps, an arched wooden portal finally came into view. Although it looked ordinary on the outside, Bai Zhi's eyes moved slightly and he felt that this was what he was looking for.
Moreover, there was no warning from the ‘Spider Sense’.
So, she gently put her hand on the wooden door and pushed it forward. Without any resistance, a spacious vertical passage and spiral staircase appeared in front of her, making people feel like they were at the bottom of a well.
Looking up, I couldn't see anything at the end, only a flaming red light flashing and a dark, shapeless thing swimming back and forth.
"This should be the passage connecting dreams and reality?"
But there was no time to be happy, because the spiral staircase Bai Zhi saw only had about a dozen steps.
This also means that she cannot climb the ladder in reverse to return to reality.
The reason behind this is probably related to the fact that she has no physical body in reality, and she did not come to the dreamland through dreams;
And if it is a human who only has his physical body left in the real world, a complete spiral staircase that only he can climb should emerge here.
However, Bai Zhi was not discouraged, nor was he surprised by this, and planned to force his way up the passage to take a look.
Even though she can't fly, she has excellent wall-climbing and web-weaving abilities. She can manually create spider webs as "ladders" to move upward.
…
Real world, federal capital.
The lanterns were on and light rain was falling.
Under the highly saturated neon lights, Qin Zhiyan, who was wearing a tight T-shirt and denim shorts, put his hands in the pockets of his jeans and walked aimlessly on the dark, wet and reflective stone slabs.
Suddenly, at the end of the street, a familiar figure wrapped in a black windbreaker disappeared from her sight.
The golden pupils shrank for an instant, then dilated again, her heart surged with heat, and she quickly chased the tall figure around the corner where she disappeared.
When she entered the corner, she saw the figure holding an umbrella, with long, silky black hair like a waterfall behind him, walking leisurely towards the park.
She opened her mouth, but without saying a word, she followed him until they reached the sparsely populated Square Park.
At this time, the figure in the black windbreaker suddenly took off his umbrella and stopped.
A few meters away, she didn't dare to get any closer, so she lowered her voice and called:
"Yezhi? Is that you?"
Hearing this, the figure turned around, revealing a charming jade face, magnificent and deep blue-purple eyes, and a charming smile that seemed to be absent at the corner of his mouth, and said:
"Why, Miss Qin is not afraid of me?"
It was the clone of Bai Zhi's mind left behind in the federal capital.
"It's really you!" Qin Zhiyan was angry and surprised:
"You are wanted, but you still dare to walk around the streets of the capital, risking your life?"
After I finished speaking, I felt that there were many problems with what I said.
The biggest problem is my own delicate stance;
The second is the caring attitude that one unintentionally reveals;
Finally, the volume was not suppressed.
Fortunately, the people nearby were relatively far apart, and there was a lot of loud music playing outside in the park square, so no one should have heard her.
Feeling guilty, she looked at the faint smile on Bai Zhi's lips, and felt her face flush and hot.
"Hey! Let me ask you a question, why are you wanted when you are so good?"
Qin Zhiyan put her hands on her hips, still looking aggressive:
"I asked the captain and he refused to tell me. Could it be that... you are really contaminated by the evil god? If that is the case, don't give up on yourself. As long as you are aware enough and willing to admit guilt, the 'New World' will definitely help you find a solution. ”
Evil God... pollution?
To a certain extent, I do...
The smile at the corner of his mouth was put away together with the umbrella, letting the cold rain moisten it, Bai Zhi said casually:
"The cause and what happened are not important. What is important is that since the eldest lady has followed me, aren't you afraid that I will kill you and silence you?"
