Six traces of the dream domain empty city

Chapter 34 Inquiry
Yao was not idle, she went to Huangquan, carried a bag of branches on her back, and planted trees on the hills outside the camp.

Huang Quan watched as she inserted a branch every ten meters, and then poured a little water with the power of the stone of life.Those branches immediately took root and grew to double the size of the small arm, and a few twigs were pulled out before they stopped growing visible to the naked eye.

These branches are the saplings of the exceptionally straight trees around the original settlement.When the twigs appeared, Huang Quan felt an invisible force faintly spreading, and he felt a little lighter.

With the growth of the branches, the coverage of the invisible power is also slowly increasing.Huang Quan looked around, and clearly felt that within the scope of this power, various species began to change accordingly.

Yao ran four hills in one breath, and basically finished half of the work alone before stopping to rest.

She wiped the sweat from her brow, looked at the rapidly growing branches with joy, and said: "In less than a year, these holy trees will grow enough to cover the entire camp. By then, our settlement will Only then can we say that we have truly taken root here.”

The holy tree naturally carries the power of the stone of life.They are so miraculous that they can actually form their own domains, forming a country that is completely suitable for human beings and their own growth, and creating a brand new ecological circle.

This ability to transform the entire environment has not been studied and understood by the empires of the interstellar era. They did not expect to be so proficiently applied in this primitive settlement.

"What's next, what else to do?"

Yao waved his fingers and pointed, "I still need to clean up the room, explore the surrounding environment, store food for the cool season, build more arrows and weapons, train new hunters... that's all, and then nothing."

The life in the settlement is so monotonous and primitive.

The part that Haruka hasn't said is that men and women work hard to reproduce and try to create human beings.

The loss of the entire settlement was very small. The five warriors were intact, which was almost a miracle, but dozens of excellent hunters were still lost.It will take more than ten years to replenish.

In this era, people's growth process is greatly shortened, and people are already qualified fighters at the age of ten, even if measured by the imperial standard.

On the contrary, life becomes shorter.In this settlement, Huang Quan didn't see many old people, even the oldest one was only around fifty.This is the beginning of a lifetime of golden time in the empire.

However, the lost people basically did not live to die of normal old age, and most of them died in battles with ogres and wild beasts.

A position like the Great Elder should have been able to live longer, but whenever there is a battle that endangers the entire clan, as the top combat force in the settlement, the Great Elder often has to fight on the front line, and he can survive until now , more because of good luck, rather than outstanding combat power.

After finishing the task at hand, the girl didn't want to go back, but looked at Huang Quan helplessly, and said, "Let's go explore the surroundings?"

"it is good."

Huang Quan wants to learn more about the rainforest, and also wants to match the signs on the Great Elder's map with the actual terrain.

The girl chose a direction at will, and walked deep into the rainforest with Huang Quan.It is difficult to tell the direction in the rainforest. If you have no experience, everything looks exactly the same.However, the girl has a strong sense of direction, exploring all the way to the distance.

After walking a few kilometers, a cliff appeared in front of the two of them. At the bottom of the cliff, there was a river meandering into the distance.

The sunlight penetrated through the gaps in the rainforest and shone on the river. A rainbow appeared in the rising water vapor. The girl cheered when she saw it, and pulled Huang Quan's sleeve and pointed it out to him.

This is a rare beauty in the rainforest, and Huangquan is also refreshing.Living in the rainforest for a long time, the dense branches and leaves of the canopy cover the light, and the mood will inevitably become very depressed.

The girl sat on the edge of the cliff, her feet dangling, and suddenly fell silent.

The place where she was sitting was still more than 100 meters away from the valley below. If an ordinary person fell, it would be fatal.But she is already a great warrior now, and this height can't help her.

Huang Quan stood beside her and asked, "Do you have something on your mind?"

The girl sighed softly, and rarely answered.

Huang Quan didn't ask, but asked, "Where is the shelter?"

The girl shook her head and said, "I don't know either. No one knows where the shelter is except for the Great Elder."

"Then how do you go back to the shelter?"

"When there is a need, we can bring it up in the ancestor sacrifice, and the soul of the ancestor will engrave the route in our soul."

Naturally, Huang Quan was not satisfied with this answer. He thought for a while and asked again: "Do you know which direction the camp is now?"

Haruka pointed casually and said, "It's there! What's the matter?"

She looked at Huang Quan strangely, but Huang Quan was thoughtful.

The girl pointed at it casually, and it was accurate. This shows that she has a natural feeling for the life stone in the camp, and she will not lose her way no matter how deep or far she walks in the rainforest.

Then, during the hundreds of years of migration, the settlement is getting farther and farther away from the shelter, and no one has ever returned. Could the so-called route be to let the lost people get a sense of the shelter?
Huang Quan thought of another question, "Has no one betrayed the hunters who fell into the hands of ogres in the past?"

"No one will betray you." The girl replied naturally.

"why?"

"This is our home, the only home. It is the place where the souls of our ancestors live, and where our brothers and sisters live. In the hands of ogres, betrayal is death, and there is no other possibility."

Huang Quan frowned, "But someone will sell the location of the camp in order to live longer, right?"

With so many people in the settlement, after so many years, Huang Quan couldn't believe that there wasn't a single traitor and softie.And as long as there is one such guy, the settlement will be destroyed.

The girl thought about it seriously, and seemed a little distressed, and said, "Maybe... I don't know. But when we fall into the hands of the ogre, the protection of our ancestors will be destroyed by the ogre. Without the protection of our ancestors, we would soon die."

Huang Quan asked a few more questions, and asked the girl to show it a few times, and finally understood that the so-called protection power of the ancestors was the power of the Life Stone.When the lost people lose the power of the stone of life, they will gradually die, which is a characteristic that Shenghui never had.

Huang Quan faintly felt that the power of the Stone of Life seemed to be more controllable.

"Do you want to go to the shelter?" Huang Quan asked.

The girl was stunned, sighed softly, and said, "Of course I want to go. I've always wanted to see what kind of world exists outside the rainforest. I heard from the Great Elder that there are many different worlds. Some are full of grass and have no trees." There are also places full of sand. He also said that there is a place called the sea, which is particularly spectacular and beautiful.”

"You should be able to go now. Didn't the great elder say that the great warrior can go to the shelter?"

Yao hesitated, and said, "I'm leaving now, and the whole settlement will be in danger. I'm a great warrior, and I want to protect everyone."

"When you have more power, you can protect more people and do more things. Before you met me, you were still an ordinary little hunter. If you couldn't even protect yourself, who could you protect?"

"However, you have to ask the Great Elder."

"He will agree." Huang Quan said indifferently, he had plenty of ways to "persuade" the Great Elder.

The girl was obviously moved, and asked tentatively, "What about you?"

"I'll go to the shelter with you."

The girl was short of breath, nodded vigorously, and did not speak.

Huang Quan looked around and said, "It's not bad here. After crossing this rift, there is a good hunting ground opposite. In the future, we can set up a temporary camp here and explore further places."

The girl nodded, "Let's go back, the Great Elder and the others should be worried later."

The two returned along the original road, and the speed was naturally faster.When we got back to the camp, there was a busy scene inside.

Under the command of Feijian, people are dismantling the unused parts of the wreckage of the spaceship little by little, sorting them into categories, and storing them in the warehouse. In the future, these will be the materials for the melting pot of all things.

Others came in and out, cleaning the interior of the wreckage of the battleship.

Seeing Huang Quan and Yao, Fei Jian ran over and said excitedly, "The place to live will be cleaned up soon, and the rooms for the two of you will be put together, just downstairs from the Great Elder."

Haruka nodded immediately.

Huang Quan clearly knew the strict hierarchy in the settlement from the process of arranging the residential area.

In the distribution of rooms in the central big room, the great elder lived at the highest, the warriors and elders below, and the hunters below, and they had to be adult and excellent hunters.

As for the rest of the people, they could only build houses on the outskirts. Houses built from spaceship wreckage were stronger than pure wood, and they would be given priority to people with combat power.

Just like the place where Yao lived, it was still left by her father.If Yao didn't have outstanding potential herself, she wouldn't even be able to keep that house.

After a busy day, everyone looked tired, even Huang Quan felt a little tired.He greeted Fei Jian and went back to his room.

The room is not big, just an ordinary cabin, but by the standards of the interstellar spacecraft, this is already the treatment only senior crew members can have.The windows were wiped clean and looked out onto the rainforest.

Huang Quan closed the hatch, and carefully took out the chip from the cargo hold. Following his thoughts, an opening appeared on his wrist, just right to insert the chip.

The information on this chip might be very useful.
