Alien Relic Hunter

"Really?" Thirty-three narrowed his eyes and kicked the foggy tree with the skeleton embedded in it hard. However, the tree trunk only trembled slightly due to the impact and did not react in any way.

"Can this thing really eat people?" Ivan stepped forward with interest and took out a knife from the tool bag on his waist. "Can I peel off some samples and take them back for study?"

"Only when you are alone and shrouded in heavy fog, the horror of this forest will gradually become apparent." Mo Jue said with lingering fear, as if some terrible memories were evoked.

"Then it seems we are quite safe." Thirty-three patted the strong tree trunk and picked up the safety rope around his waist, "Because we will neither be shrouded in fog nor alone."

"Forget it if you don't believe it..." Mo Jue frowned and sighed, "The well-known expedition team also brought mist-dispersing equipment with them when they entered the depths of the gray fog forest. The team members also had such safety ropes fixed around their waists, but they still lost two-thirds of their men before escaping from the forest... You know, they only crossed the red line 400 meters. As for you, if you are If you care about your life, I really suggest that you turn around and return immediately... Unless Ark sends a fleet to uproot this forest, no one will be able to reach the bottom of that foggy mountain."

"Well, you have a point." Ke Lan nodded to Mo Jue and turned to look at Thirty-Three, "I know you are not afraid of death, but don't set the flag in a hurry... According to that expedition team According to the oral records of the survivors, they did not encounter any battles in the gray fog forest, and all the injured team members disappeared inexplicably. This forest is indeed very weird."

"Well, I have read all of the one hundred and sixty-five pages of detailed records." Ivan agreed, "Many times, when I turn around, I find that the companion behind me has disappeared. When I asked other people, they didn't notice when and how the person disappeared... It was like walking and the person suddenly evaporated on the spot, and it disappeared silently and without causing any disturbance. Any kind of attention.”

"Could it have been teleported away?" Thirty-three put forward a hypothesis, "Just like the space stack on 'Aguna Kotor', this forest looks like a maze, but in fact it is in the physical maze. There is also a layer of space maze composed of chaotic spaces nested on the basis of it. Are the people who disappeared actually the folded space that they passed through and were transported to other places?"

"Ze Luo?" Ke Lan looked at the girl following him with a questioning look.

Ze Luo shook his head slightly: "Through this journey, at least so far, I have not found any abnormal signs in the space in the forest."

"Then it seems that Thirty-Three's guess doesn't make sense." Ke Lan turned his head, only to find Mo Jue staring at him.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Ke Lan stretched out his hand and rubbed his cheek hard.

"...I have always thought that I have seen your face somewhere before, but I just can't remember it. It wasn't until your companion mentioned 'Aguna Kotor' that I remembered... You are the one Ke Lan, right! That Ke Lan who found the ancient battleship 'Yagunaktor' in the molten mine area and was appointed as the captain of this battleship by the Ark's senior management! You are not official! You are a group of relics Hunter!" Mo Jue said with some excitement.

"Uh..." Ke Lan was stunned for a moment. He didn't disguise himself, which meant that he had no intention of hiding his identity. Even the gas mask he wore on his face was completely transparent and could cover his entire face. See clearly.

He is not the kind of person who is shockingly handsome or unforgettably ugly, so it is normal for the other party not to recognize him at first sight.

"I'm Ke Lan." He nodded, "But why do you look a little excited... What, are you my little crush?"

"No, it's not because of this." Mo Jue shook her head vigorously. She didn't even care about the ridicule in Ke Lan's words, and said incoherently, "You are ruin hunters. The reason why you entered the Gray Mist Forest is because of the core There is a ruins of Alpha civilization in the area, right?! Your goal is that ruins, you are looking for that ruins, right?"

"The ruins in the core of the forest... do you know the existence of that 'ruin'?" Ke Lan's heart moved and he immediately asked, "What do you know about that 'ruin'?"

"I...I don't know..." However, Mo Jue shook his head with some disappointment, "I only heard my father say that there is a huge secret buried in the center of the Gray Mist Forest. The reason why he organized a team We launched explorations deeper into the forest again and again just to explore that secret. At that time, 'Lumberjack' was just our side job, and it was also a 'face identity' used to conceal the true purpose of our team... However, After my father disappeared, it all ended."

Mo Jue lowered his head and squatted down, seeming to complain and said: "Speaking of which, my father is really ridiculous. It is already so difficult to penetrate a distance of 500 meters, but he still wants to cross a 50-kilometer restricted area. Go to some core area to explore the 'secret' that is true or false..."

"Miss Mo Jue, what do you know about your father?" Ke Lan suppressed his inner restlessness, squatted in front of Mo Jue, and asked patiently, "For example, what did he do before? He was How to become a 'lumberjack' and how to learn that there is a 'secret' in the center of the Gray Mist Forest... I hope you can tell me all this information, this is very important to me."

"I don't know much about my father." Mo Jue shook his head, "When I was young, I rarely had the opportunity to see him because he was a soldier and served on a certain battleship in the Air Force fleet. ...When he retired, I just came of age. Later, he relied on his connections in the army to send me to the Air Force Military Academy. At first, he wanted my younger brother to join the army, but my younger brother wanted to be a soldier at that time. A black marketeer, he ran away from home after a big fight with his father."

"Go on." Ke Lan said gently. Although these things may sound completely irrelevant to the point, in many cases, crucial clues are often hidden in such seemingly insignificant places.
