A strange group of soldiers of unknown origin suddenly came out of the mist.They wore silver-white light armor with green patterns, and wore equally silver-white winged helmets, and their average height was almost two meters, and they did not hold the usual swords and weapons in their hands, but instead had a pair of special metal gauntlets, which shimmered with a faint brilliance, as if there was a hidden mystery.Avanna's eyes widened as she looked at the soldiers who had come out of the mist, the ornaments on their armor and the overall style of equipment were completely different from those of all countries she knew, and the average height of two meters did not look like an ordinary human army, which made her very curious.But the guards on the other two caravans were not as simple as curiosity, at this distance, it was meaningless to conceal the sudden encounter, and the previous experience of being attacked by the imperial soldiers made them full of vigilance against these soldiers who suddenly appeared in the black pine forest, so the moment the two sides met, all the guards pressed their hands on the weapons on their waists, and even Charlemagne couldn't help but activate several magical equipment he carried with him to increase his confidence.However, the strange group of soldiers seemed to be completely oblivious to the convoy in front of them, and in the face of the sabre-rattling convoy guards, they chose to keep their eyes on the front and continue along the road with expressionless faces."
All calm down," Hao Ren spoke up at this time to break the deadlock (strictly speaking, the one-sided deadlock of the convoy guards), "I'm afraid these soldiers are not real." ”As he spoke, the strange soldiers had come up to the convoy and walked between the three caravans like phantoms."
Vision?"
Avenna's eyes widened, "But it looks like it's almost like the real thing......"
"It's still ......between the virtual and the real," Leah's slightly childish voice sounded, "These are another layer of the black pine forest, just like the fog before, things that didn't appear in the real world, but now that we've got rid of the influence of the false world, these things are just phantoms to us, and they don't interfere with each other in any substance." ”"What if we don't get rid of the effects of the false world?"
Lily asked curiously.Leah blinked: "Then of course it's going to be a fight now." ”As he spoke, the group of soldiers had already passed through the convoy and continued along the forest road, Hao Ren glanced back at them, and just wanted to say that he was about to follow these "phantoms" to see the situation, when suddenly the group of soldiers all stopped.They seemed to have discovered the enemy, and for a moment they all stared at the direction of the dense forest with high vigilance, and a person who looked like a commander gestured, so the other soldiers immediately formed a defensive formation and put on a posture ready for battle, Hao Ren saw them collide with the gauntlets that glowed with each other, so everyone's left hand position instantly stretched out a photon shield that was enough to protect most of the body, and under the bracer of the right hand extended an energy blade that emitted a bright cold light.Hao Ren was dumbfounded: "I'll go......
This style of painting doesn't fit the local worldview......"
And before he could finish his exclamation, there was a sudden whistling sound from the dense forest, and then a behemoth shrouded in pitch-black smoke and dust knocked down the bushes along the way and swooped out of the forest!
The monster shrouded in smoke and dust was obviously also a phantom, and its image made Hao Ren can't help but think of the crazy minions he had faced—rotting and proliferating limbs, a mutated torso that could not see the prototype, countless eyes and countless mouthparts all over the body, tentacles extending from the festering and cracked skin, squirming wildly in the air, and blasphemous roars coming directly from the belly of the monster, this chaotic and crazy monster is almost the opposite of all reason and order, whether it is to see it, hear it, or touch itwill drag the human spirit into the abyss of madness and darkness.The monster even made Avena almost scream, she let out a short half-scream, then covered her mouth and gritted her teeth to barely control the sound, and the guards didn't behave much better - even the battle-hardened warriors had never seen such a profane and ugly creature, and they trembled for a moment.And the warriors armed with lightsabers and photon shields were also startled by the monster that suddenly jumped out, but they were only startled.The commander began shouting for attack and defensive positions, and the warriors quickly formed their formations and attacked the monster from all sides.By all indications, it wasn't the first time they'd seen such a monster.The melee erupted, and the Phantom Warrior and the Phantom Monster battled it out on the wide path of the Black Pine Forest, the monster apparently had more than brute force, spewing out corrosive energy balls and creating some kind of laser beam to attack the opponent, while the tall warriors defended with the photon shields in their hands and constantly sliced off the monster's limbs with surprising skill.In the end, the commander-like tall warrior suddenly roared, and the blade of light in his hand extended into a long whip, directly binding the monster and dragging it to the ground, while the rest of the warriors swarmed up, shattering the enemy into pieces with their blades.The battle was over, and the warriors gasped as the monster's flesh quickly turned to ashes under the corrosive black mist, and one soldier broke the silence in a language unknown to Raherion: "They are here too." ”"You go tell the commander about here," the squad commander said, "and the rest of you, come with me to the next checkpoint." ”Then he looked up at the sky and said as if to himself, "The day has finally come......
Again......
"All the apparitions froze in this moment and gradually dissipated into the air."
What did they say in the end?"
Avenna's expression was a little stunned, she and Charlemagne didn't have a translation plug-in, and they were confused at the moment, "It doesn't sound like the dialect of the Dragon's Empire......"
"They seem to have expected this monster for a long time, and they sent someone to inform a person called the head of the war group that something has happened here," Hao Ren thought about it, and decided to translate what he heard to Avena, maybe the other party would have some opinion, "Can you think of anything?"
”But Avenna was still confused after listening to it, and shook her head: "No......
I can't think of anything.I don't know the insignia on these soldiers, and I don't know of any country where there is such a position as 'war chief' in the military establishment. ”"Are these also one of the possibilities of a false world?"
Vivien glanced at Leah, "Why do I always feel that something is wrong?"
”"I don't know," Leah's expression was also a little confused, "It stands to reason that these unrealized world lines are extremely fragmented and messy, and it is impossible to have logical ......"
Hao Ren glanced at Leah, and a thought faintly appeared in his heart."
Perhaps......
We see not only the possibilities of the future of this world, but also the possibilities of what it once was. ”Lily scratched her hair: "What do you mean?"
”"Don't forget, this world is more than a week," Hao Ren shook his head, this time in the language of the earth, "if it has experienced a destruction and remodeling, then what happened in the past can also be regarded as some kind of 'false world line' for the present history." ”Speaking of this, he glanced at Leah, "Do you have an impression of this black pine forest?"
Was there anything like that on this planet before Rahrion was destroyed?
”Leah thought about it seriously and shook her head slightly: "Not impressed."
I had been watching Rahrien for many years, and I knew very well every corner of the planet that there were no black pine forests.Unless......
It suddenly appeared on this planet at the last moment before I fell into a deep sleep.But how is this possible?
”"Yes......"
Hao Ren muttered under his breath, noncommittal.Charlemagne and Avena looked at each other in confusion, and Hao Ren suddenly spoke in a language they didn't understand, which was obviously an act of secrecy, but thinking of the secrets they carried, they were embarrassed to say more, so they were a little embarrassed for a while.Fortunately, this embarrassment did not last long, and Hao Ren quickly turned back to them: "We don't have a conclusion either—if there is no problem, let's continue on our journey." ”The brother and sister nodded together: "Okay." ”The convoy continued to set off, following the forest road towards the depths of the black pine forest, and finally reached the first fork in the road.However, this fork in the road does not appear in any records.Looking at the fork in the road where there was neither a sign standing nor an imperial emblem hanging in front of him, Charlemagne took a slow breath: "It seems......
We came to a place in the black pine forest that no one had ever visited. ”Avena also frowned: "But theoretically this is impossible......"
The black pine forest is vast and mysterious, but the roads in the forest are limited and fixed, and in the long time of exploration, the explorers and national exploration teams of the Dragon's Empire have measured and recorded every road in this forest - at least every road that can find the entrance and exit from the edge of the forest - and set up signs and rest points at all the forks, and at some relatively large forks, there will even be perennial guarded outposts, Theoretically, therefore, as long as one enters through the Greenway entrance and never leaves the forest road in between, then every fork in the road that the traveler encounters must have a guide mark.Unmarked forks in the road mean only one thing: the traveler has stepped into undiscovered territory of the forest, and there is no intersection between the area and the proven forest roads."
Theoretically impossible, but we've just experienced something super-theoretical," Hao Ren raised his eyebrows, "When we were in the fog before, the convoy walked on a road with no end for a long time, maybe we would have entered an unfamiliar area by that time." ”"It's not important to enter an unfamiliar territory per se," Vivien said, looking at Leah sitting next to her, "It's important to ......
This process was hidden from Leah's eyes. ”Leah blinked, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face: "No, maybe it's the opposite, it should be that the people who successfully passed through the black pine forest before were all confused, and we ......
It was the first ever to be on the right track. ”(Happy New Year's Day to everyone!!)
