Reborn Douluo Continent

Chapter 16 The Turbulent Situation

"Tonight we're going to the forest on the hill of the tomb. It's a bit far away, but you should be able to take a good rest after arriving. This will also make your journey tomorrow shorter."

Finally, the group started to trek in silence again, haunting the dark night like shadows.As long as Bai Huoling wants to, he can walk silently.

Maggie soon began to feel sleepy, and staggered two or three times; however, every time, the tall soul next to him immediately reached out to help him.Walking beside Carlo, Jack felt as if he were in a dream, with a look of half horror and half surprise on his face.

The forest grew denser on both sides of the road, and the trees grew younger and denser; the path lowered and began to enter the lowlands between the valleys.There are more and more towering trees on the hillsides on both sides.

Finally, the white souls finally left the trail.In the dense forest on the right, a verdant mountain ridge appeared, which was almost difficult to see in this dark night.The spirits climbed up the winding ridges to the hills that stood out from the rest of the valley.

All of a sudden they came out of the shade of the trees and came to a large piece of gray grass in the night.The grassland was surrounded by trees on three sides, but the terrain on the east side dropped suddenly, and the tall trees underneath just fell on the bottom of everyone's feet.As far as the eye could see, the lowlands appeared wide and flat under the light of the stars.There are still a few flickering lights in the settlement of Giant Wood Hall.

The white souls sat down on the grass, talking in low voices; they seemed to no longer pay attention to the existence of Luodian people.Carlo and his companions threw on blankets and cloaks and let the drowsiness set in.As the night deepened, the lights in the valley went out.Maggie fell asleep with a pillow of leaves.

There is an opening on the south side of this green space.In the middle is a warm campfire, with golden and silver torches stuck in the tree trunks on both sides.Spirits sat on the floor around the campfire, and some sat against tree trunks.Some spirits busily set wine glasses and pour drinks; others set dishes and spread food on top of them.

"It's really poor." They said to the Luodian people, "because we live in the green forest far away from home. If you can come to our home to receive hospitality one day, we will treat you with more thoughtful etiquette."

"In my opinion, it's good enough for a birthday party," said Carlo, surprised.

After a period of time, Maggie found that he could hardly recall any memories of the day's food; because his eyes were full of the beautiful scenery of the light shining on the delicate face of the soul, and countless kinds of melodious music, all of which made him feel as if In a dream.

When Jack tried to recall the night, he could neither put it into words nor conceive a clear image in his mind; all he knew was that it was the most important moment of his life.

All he can barely say is: "Wow, Carlo, if I can grow such a tall tree, I will dare to call myself Huanglin. However, for me, what really makes me happy is the wonderful singing."

Carlo sat on the ground, eating and drinking happily, and chatting with the souls.But all his attention was focused on the content of the other party's conversation.

He knew some soul language, so he listened very intently.Occasionally he would also thank the spirits who brought him food and drink in spirit tongue.They would answer with a smile: "This is really the dragon among Luodian people!"

After a while, Maggie fell asleep after eating and drinking; the spirits kindly carried him away and put him on the bed made of thick leaves under the tree.He spent the rest of the night in a deep sleep.Jack refuses to leave Carlo's side.

When Maggie was carried away, he went to sit next to Carlo, finally closed his eyes, and began to doze off.

Carlo and Neo talked until late at night.

They discuss many things, both recent and past; Caro asks Neo a lot about what's going on in the wider world beyond the Land of the Dead.From Neo's mouth, Carlo learned that the world situation is very turbulent, the dark forces in the soul domain are gathering, human beings are fighting each other endlessly, and the souls are flying far to the human continent.

Finally, Carlo finally asked the question he had held back for a long time: "Tell me, Neo, have you seen Rocky since he left?"

Neo laughed. "Yes." He replied. "Twice. Once he said goodbye to us here. But I met him again in a far away place." Since he didn't want to discuss Rocky's whereabouts, Carlo also fell silent. .

"Carlo, you have a lot of things on your mind that you haven't shared with me." Neo said.

"But I already know something from your face and the questions you ask. You are about to leave the land of the dead, but you are not sure whether you will find what you are looking for, complete what you have been entrusted to, or even whether you will be able to resume your life." Back here. Right?"

"That's right," Carlo said; "but I thought only the Priest of Lodge and my faithful Jack knew about my journey." He looked down at Jack, who was snoring softly.

"God won't learn this secret from me," Rogers said.

"Pluto?" Carlo was taken aback. "Then you know why I left Land of the Dead?"

"I don't know why Hades is following you." Rogers replied, "Even though I think it's unusual, his target is really you. I must warn you that there are great dangers ahead and behind you. "

"Are you referring to those black souls? I'm afraid they might be underlings. What are these black souls?"

"Didn't Priest Rocky tell you?"

"He didn't mention anything like that."

"Then I don't think I should say anything more, or you might be too scared to go on. Because it seems to me that your time to go is very close, if there is still time. You have to hurry now." Go on, do not stay, do not turn back; for the land of the dead is no longer your refuge."

"It's really hard for me to imagine any news that would be more frightening than your hints and warnings." Carlo said anxiously.

"Of course I know that there is a crisis lurking ahead, but I didn't expect to encounter such horrible things even in our land of the dead. Could it be that the Luodian people can no longer walk from Linshui area to the river with peace of mind? "

"This is not a place exclusive to you humans," Neo said. "Before the Luodian people settled down, there were other people who lived here. When the Luodian people become a thing of the past, there will still be other people who come to settle here. The world situation is changing and the times are changing. Probably keep them out forever."

"I understand, but I still think this place is safe and warm in my heart. What should I do now? My plan is to secretly leave the land of the dead and quietly go to the Dead Sea realm. But before I reach the Dead Sea realm, the spirit beast Already in hot pursuit."
