Ride and Cut

Although he heard Elder Myra say that "monsters and undead are raging outside", Li Cha knew that this big Twilight Forest might be similar to Xanadu, and the outside world might be so bad.

But even if he exhausted the limits of his imagination, Li Cha never expected that it would be like this——

The stone wall formed by the ancient volcanic eruption stretches across the land, just like the dividing line left by the creator god, vividly interpreting what is called uncanny craftsmanship, and isolating two completely different worlds inside and outside.

Inside this dividing line is a forest. Although it is called "twilight", it is actually full of trees, with abundant berries hanging on the treetops, and birds nesting among the branches. There are also tens of thousands of tiger spirits living in harmony with the forest mother.

If the interior of the stone wall is full of vitality, then the outside must be the wilderness. Under the same blue sky, if you look around, the entire field of vision is filled with barrenness or barrenness, only barrenness, only barrenness.

The soil under his feet is gray and greasy, and due to the extreme dryness, it has become like powder, and it can sink half of the shoe when stepped on. Fortunately, the long leather boots issued by Gaoshan Castle are very well made, otherwise it would be difficult to move an inch.

Even the mentally handicapped will understand at a glance that such soil is not suitable for breeding life at all. But in front of this vast plain that can only be described as boundless, it is completely filled with grey, greasy sandy soil, just like a scene where life is passing and everything is dying. An atmosphere called despair has accumulated, rushing towards the face like a tsunami, making it impossible to breathe.

Compared with here, the barren wilderness is as rich and beautiful as paradise on earth.

"It's not that there are no plants at all." Nehru was the first to discover it by taking advantage of his short stature.

After his reminder, Li Cha saw that some lichen-like plants were sticking to it and growing hard, and they were dusty and inconspicuous. I tried to pull it, but it didn't move. The slender roots spread all the way to the deepest part of the soil, which was many times larger than the part on the surface. It seems that even for such a humble plant, it is extremely difficult to obtain the little water needed.

"Life is really tenacious." The lord could not help sighing with emotion.

He felt that if he was given a pair of pens and papers now, he would definitely be able to mass-produce famous works handed down from generation to generation, but unfortunately there were no pens and papers in the shop. He had no choice but to temporarily give up his literary dream, unscrew the water bag and pour some ale. As for whether it is helpful-probably only the dead will know.

When the liquid falls on such soil, it disappears in an instant, leaving only a little wet trace on the surface. And even this trace is disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ah~ this barren land~ is the abandonment of the gods~ or the polishing of time~" It is obvious that the lord himself is not the only one who is so excited about poetry. Abu is holding his chest, and the artificial melancholy is tangled on his face, like a patient with advanced hemorrhoids.

"What's next?" Li Cha asked curiously after waiting for a long time before the next sentence.

"There is nothing below."

"Shh~" A group of Alpine Fort fighters gave him thumbs up in unison, but it was thumbs down.

"Isn't this poem good?" Abu put his hands on his hips, his face full of displeasure.

"At least it's a poem, and there's a lot of room for growth in the future." Hurt comforted sincerely.

It was fine if he didn't say it, but when he said it, there was a burst of laughter, which made Abu jump his feet in anger.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and the dry and finely divided dust flowed like water, exposing a flat stone slab that had been buried in the air.

"Hey, why is there a fish skeleton on this stone!" Gunther pouted his buttocks and pulled out the stone slab from the soil, holding it in front of his lord as if offering a treasure, "Boss, look quickly, what is this thing?"

"Oh, it's actually a fish fossil." Li Cha smiled helplessly: "Emotions used to be a body of water?"

"How is it possible!" Bernard stared, as if hearing some big joke.

"Nothing is impossible. Time has infinite power. It's nothing to turn the ocean into a continent." Vera bent down to pick up a handful of sand, but she couldn't stop the too fine particles from slipping through her fingers bit by bit.

"Before I heard Tiger Spirit say that there were monsters outside the forest, I didn't feel anything, but now I'm a little suspicious." Li Cha said.

"What do you suspect?" Senid asked back.

"Even monsters at least have to drink water to hunt. Can such a barren environment really support the survival of monsters?" The lord spread his hands and smiled wryly.

Everyone couldn't help being shocked by this extreme silence. No one spoke for a while, and the surroundings were so quiet that a needle could be heard.

"Squeak!" An unusually sharp cry broke the silence.

"Look at this!" Abu held a skull in both hands, which had been polished white and smooth by drying and sandstorms. There was a hole in the back of the head, and there seemed to be a living creature living in it, struggling and trying to get out.

The capacity of the skull is not large, and it is reasonable to say that it is not difficult to get out of trouble. It's just that every time he was about to succeed, Abu's hand shook slightly to make it fall back to the bottom.

"What the hell." Gunther threw down the precious fish fossil just now, stepped on the soft soil, and ran to Abu's side. Relying on the absolute advantage of height and size, he easily snatched the skull in his hand, and squinted one eye to look inside.

"This is mine! Give it back to me!" Abu jumped up and down under his elbow, but couldn't touch it.

"What's yours and mine, show the boss first." Gunther curled his lips in disdain.

"Boss, take a look at this thing inside, it's too strange."

Gang Manzi stuck two fingers into the skull, pinched its tail and pulled out a wildly struggling and screaming animal.

Suddenly there was a sound of gasping around, even Li Cha was no exception.

The thing in Gunther's hand looked exactly like a field mouse at first glance, but it was very different upon closer inspection. It seems to be based on voles, with many extra accessories added casually.

More than a dozen long and short horns protruded from various parts of its face, some of which even protruded from the eyelids, making the head look bloated and deformed. A small patch of gray-black fur on the back is still limited to the back, spreading to the surroundings and gradually becoming a mixture of hair and scales.

What is even more amazing is that there are several short fleshy wings growing on the back of this thing, but it is obviously impossible to have any function, because even the most basic symmetry is not achieved-only one on the left is on the shoulder, but two on the right are on the lower back.

If you insist on describing it, it looks like a practice work produced by an unqualified sculpture apprentice. It seems random and clumsy everywhere, and the whole is very uncoordinated.

It would be fine if it was a sculpture, but this thing is not only alive, but also very fierce. If Gunther hadn't been holding its tail and hanging in the air, no matter how hard it struggled, it would have been useless, and it would probably have bitten or ran away long ago.

I finished one exam, I hope I didn't give away my head
