Six traces of the dream domain empty city

Chapter 55 The Sleeping King
Regarding the heat death, the old antiques of the Imperial Research Institute once had a very fierce controversy. There are signs that the entire universe will irreversibly return to the heat death, thus ushering in the final destruction.

But opponents believe that it may take tens of billions of years or even longer to reach the heat death, and it is meaningless to study it.

However, many observations show that the universe is indeed developing towards the direction of heat death.

The proposal of heat death represents the highest achievement of the empire's research on the formation and development of the universe.

However, the ogre civilization where the soul resides is still in the primitive tribe era. How do they know the concept of heat death?And how was it passed down in the form of prophecy?What is the seed of destruction?
Hun seemed to know what Huang Quan was thinking, and said, "I don't know what a prison is, and I don't know what the seed of destruction refers to. I really don't know."

Huang Quan also understands that the ancient prophecies of this kind of tribe are often vague and full of confusing metaphors.It's normal for the soul not to know the meaning. Only the ghost knows what those prophets were thinking in their minds when they wrote their prophecies hundreds or even thousands of years ago.

What Hun said has far exceeded Huang Quan's expectations.She would be so honest, even Huang Quan was a little surprised.

But since Hun is very obedient, Huang Quan doesn't intend to embarrass her. He has a premonition that even though Hun still can't explain many things clearly, she is indeed a special one among ogres.

Huang Quan withdrew his hand, Hun grabbed his arm and stood up.But she didn't leave immediately, but approached Huang Quan, and said in a voice only he could hear: "There is one more question, you forgot to ask."

It was only then that Huang Quan remembered that the question was why she wasted her time.This question is not important at all, but if she wants to talk, she will listen to it.

"Because the more I waste your time, the more you value me."

Huang Quan was stunned, what reason is this?
"You are only one step away from becoming a real king."

"What's wrong?"

"Challenge our sleeping king." Hun said seriously.

"Oh, really?"

Huang Quan is very perfunctory, he has no interest in becoming a real king, and he doesn't want to delve into those fantasy prophecies, now he just wants to leave this damn rainforest as soon as possible.If he stayed here for a long time, he would feel uncomfortable.

The more he understands the world, the more uncomfortable Huang Quan is. He estimates that if there is no life stone to replenish energy, it will take a few months, or he will go crazy.

Hun didn't say much, took a deep look at Huang Quan, turned around and hid in the rain forest.

"I really shouldn't have let her go." Haruka muttered, which was a rare complaint from a girl.

Huang Quan pretended not to hear it, and let out a low whistle, which was a signal to call the hunters together.

In the battle just now, except for Yao, all the hunters avoided the battlefield far away. They couldn't bear the aftermath at all. Only Yao insisted on staying on the edge of the battlefield.

When the soul left, the rain forest regained its vitality, and there were insects and beasts roaring again.As the rainforest became more and more lively, the number of ogres gradually increased. At this moment, the team should pass through another tribe's territory.

Now Huang Quan is not interested in capturing a new territory, the key is to get to the shelter faster before the energy of the Stone of Life is exhausted.

Waves of ogres keep appearing, with increasing frequency and attacks.

The hunters all seemed to have taken a stimulant. When they saw the ogre, they either rushed at it with red eyes, or set up traps, and only killed the enemy suddenly when they were about to be discovered.

Perhaps stimulated by the battle between Huang Quan and Hun, almost every hunter's combat power has improved.

As the number of ogres increased from fewer to more, and then from more to fewer, everyone knew that they were about to pass through the territory of this ogre tribe.By this time, the migrating settlement team had been walking through the rainforest for four full days.

During the migration, the settlers who lived in a small corner for a long time realized that the ogre tribe has a vast territory and a large number.

If it wasn't for Huangquan, even three or five settlements combined would not be able to withstand the attack of a tribe of ogres.The survival of the settlement people is almost entirely due to luck, not to be found by the ogre patrols.

Except for the battle with Hun, Huang Quan never took off his armor, and later on he didn't even take off his helmet.

The time spent in the rainforest is getting longer and longer, and the power of the stone of life is gradually exhausted.

The hunters who originally followed Huang Quan now mostly returned to the rear team in order to recover their strength within the range of the Stone of Life.The only ones who can still walk beside Huang Quan are Yao, Fei Jian and a few others.

When we got here, we had already left the range of the ogre tribe, and we basically never encountered a single ogre all day long.However, the unknown forces that are ubiquitous in the rainforest had no sense of existence at first, but gradually began to show their power.

Once outside the range of the Life Stone for more than a day and a night, the hunters become restless.Their eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, white foam would appear at the corners of their mouths from time to time, and low-pitched roars would come out from their throats from time to time.

Most of the hunters themselves are ignorant of these changes, and only occasionally notice their own changes when they see their companions.

At the beginning, the irritable hunters are more brave and vicious when they attack, and sometimes even make actions similar to massacres.And killing obviously made them feel happier, and the attraction of blood and raw meat also increased significantly.

Now even the bodies of the young girl and Fei Jian began to change. The young girl was not bad, but there was a fierce gleam in her eyes from time to time.

Among the team, only Huang Quan, who was enclosed in the armor, was silent as always, advancing at a constant speed.

After another two days, the shelter still didn't know how far away it was.Yao stopped Huang Quan, panted heavily, and said, "I, I can't do it either. Let's take a break!"

Huang Quan stopped and looked to the left and right.At the moment beside him, only Yao is left.

The girl's eyes were red, and she kept panting heavily, her eyes were sometimes blurred and sometimes sober.There was still a bit of blood stains on the corner of her mouth, apparently she unconsciously ate some raw meat when she caught the last prey.Later, although Huang Quan roasted the meat, there were still some marks on the girl's mouth.

Huang Quan took out a clean cloth and gently wiped away the blood stains around her mouth.After so many days in the rainforest, a clean cloth is nothing short of miraculous.Seeing the blood stains on the cloth, the girl exclaimed in disbelief.

"It's okay, we shouldn't be far from the shelter."

"I, I won't become a monster, right?" The girl was about to cry. She was never strong in front of Huang Quan.

"No." The simple answer gave the girl infinite confidence, as long as it was what Huang Quan said, she would firmly believe it.

Huang Quan looked around and said, "Take a break for 10 minutes."

The girl tried to straighten her body, "I'm not tired."

"No, no matter how fast you go, the people behind won't be able to keep up."

The girl sat down reluctantly, and the moment her back leaned against the tree trunk, she fell asleep.She is always nervous about herself, but she is already exhausted.

Huang Quan looked at her for a while, then took off the gloves silently.The back of his hand was covered with criss-cross bloodshots, which actually formed a strange smiling face, which was shocking.

The unknown force finally found him, and Huang Quan was overwhelmed by staying away from the range of the Stone of Life for a long time.

Looking at the bloody smiling face on the back of his hand, Huang Quan didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he put on his gloves again, leaned against the tree, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

It took about half a day before he woke Yao up.

When the girl woke up, the bloodshot eyes were a little less.Enough rest can effectively resist the invasion of unknown forces.But in the rainforest, who can sleep soundly regardless?
As soon as the girl opened her eyes and saw the sky, she immediately jumped up, "I overslept!"

"It's okay, it's still early."

Huang Quan pulled the girl up, left a mark of the direction, and continued to walk deep into the rain forest at the same pace.

In a blink of an eye, another three days passed, and the shelter seemed to be still far away, as if it would never be reached.

At this moment, the girl's neck can clearly see the blood streaks, and her eyes are mostly dazed, and they will turn fierce from time to time.She could no longer control her bloodthirsty desire, and even subconsciously bit Huang Quan several times.

However, Huang Quan's heavy armor was obviously not something she could handle. Apart from making her teeth hurt, she didn't even leave a tooth mark.

At this moment, even Huang Quan's eyes were faintly worried.
