Do you believe me when I say I’m not a dragon?

The trees gradually became charred black, and the branches and leaves turned into black charcoal bit by bit.

As the flames spread - finally, something changed.

The sky became gloomy for no reason. It was clear that it was sunny and sunny a second ago, but now it was covered with dark clouds and full of depression.

That's not the only thing that changed at the same time. Before the people who fled took a few steps, they discovered that the grass was covered with hard thorns. The people in cloth could only step aside and look at those in armor. The hunter escapes from here.

But not long after, the hunters also discovered something strange around them: the thorns grew faster and faster, and even appeared in the shape of barbs. They hooked into the gaps in the armor, and the thorns grew more and more as the hunters moved. The deeper.

In the end, the hunters tried their best to pull their bodies, but even so they could not move at all. They could only watch as the thorns penetrated through the gaps in the armor, pierced into their bodies and grew.

The rain started to fall, and the downpour extinguished the flames. Before anyone could feel lucky, everyone heard a long cry from deep in the forest.

"hold head high--"

The ethereal sound passed through the rain curtain, and every leaf vibrated and responded to it.

The plants grew faster and faster, and some people discovered that green shoots sprouted even on the decks of the spaceships. Trees sprouted from the ground on the edges of the two spaceships, surrounding people.

At first, there was still a certain gap between each small tree, but as they grew larger, they also grew into big trees in the sky, blending in with each other, sealing people and spaceships inside, even if Even rainwater cannot penetrate even the slightest bit outward.

As a result, the rain accumulated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the water level rose rapidly. At first, it only reached the knees, and finally it reached the chest, causing them to have to go to the spacecraft to avoid the water.

But the water level quickly covered the spacecraft, and at the same time, the plants on the spacecraft also grew wildly. In a short period of time, they turned into vines and grabbed everyone's body. Even if they were cut with a knife, there was nothing they could do.

Amid people's horrified screams, the rain submerged them, and the tough vines turned into chains, ending their lives under the water in such a desperate way.

——From the beginning to the end, only a few minutes passed.Even if someone looks down from the sky, they will find that the rain only covers a one-kilometer area centered on the spacecraft, and other places are only slightly moist.

After a few minutes, there was no one alive around the spacecraft.

...Except for a few people who were lucky enough to escape early.However, if you don’t have rich experience in living in the forest, you may lose your life in this forest very quickly.

......

Beside the fire, Xiyin broke off a dry branch and threw it into the flames.

Looking at the swaying flames, Xiyin vaguely felt that he should do something, but his brain was still in a mess.

She is still thinking about what Hai Xin and Hunter said. She doesn't know what is right or wrong. In other words, Xiyin doesn't even understand herself now, and she doesn't understand the meaning behind their words.

Kulu jumped down from the tree, her face not so pretty. She looked at the small pot in front of Xiyin. The broth in it was almost dry, and she quickly stopped Xiyin.

"...Eat something, Cheng. Don't go hungry."

"..."

Looking at Xiyin who was still absent-minded, Kulu's eyes flashed with unbearability.

"Sister Kulu..." Xiyin raised her head and looked at Kulu helplessly: "What happened to me? Why...they all said you lied to me? Why did they say I An alien? I..."

She raised her hand and looked at the faded lines on her arm: "Am I really different from others?"

Looking at Xiyin's longing eyes, Kulu wanted to tell her all the truth for a moment, but when she opened her mouth, her words had already changed: "...Some things are unfortunate even if they are understood, Xiyin .”

"I don't understand."

Facing Xiyin's confused words, Kulu closed her eyes and recalled in her mind the scene she saw when she looked at the direction of the spacecraft from the top of the tree, and she had a rough guess about the situation there.

Opening his eyes again, Kulu's eyes were full of determination and severity:

"——Reality is not everything you want, you have to understand." Kulu came to Xiyin and squatted down, put his hands on her shoulders and said sincerely: "You have to understand, Xiyin. I , Instructor Luo Er have concealed the truth from you, we are sorry for you. But one thing will never be hidden from you, that is, if you know the truth, the rest of your life will be full of misfortune... I have seen it with my own eyes, Her changes, her despair...so I'm really sorry, I will hide the truth in my heart, even if you hate me for it, it won't change."

Looking at Kulu who was silent to her, the light in Xiyin's eyes dimmed a little, and she felt strange emotions.

She used to talk to Kulu about everything, but now looking at her situation, Xiyin suddenly felt the distance between her and Kulu.

If this situation goes in a bad direction, it will be alienation and resentment, but on the contrary, it will be self-reliance.

Xiyin lowered his head and whispered: "...I understand."

She no longer gives up because she doesn't get what she wants, nor does she really hate her as Kulu said, but Xiyin understands that the relationship between the two will never be the same again.

She sat on the ground, hugged her knees, curled up, and looked at the flames in front of her.

The fire that had been filled with firewood just now had only a few flames left.

"...can I go see the instructor?"

In the silence, Xiyin couldn't help but asked in a low voice.

"Not now." Kulu sat with her and watched her expression. After hesitating for a moment, she replied: "Go to sleep first, and we will go back when we wake up."

"Um......"

Chapter 339: Move forward

The next day, Xiyin and Kulu were walking in the forest, heading in the direction of the spaceship.

It took more than an hour for the two of them to leave and stop, and when they returned to the spaceship, it was only half the time when they left. But even so, Xiyin still quickened his pace before arriving.

"And...how long?"

She gasped and asked Kuru.

The other person was walking in front, frowning and looking around.

"It should be here... let's go a little further."

"What's going on..." Xiyin didn't understand why a master of wild survival like Kulu looked troubled. It wasn't until she looked around that she realized something was wrong.

She vaguely remembered that there were not so many plants when she left, and the air was not as humid as it is now. Now when she stepped on the ground, there were either weeds growing in disorder or muddy ground.

But she walked over without stopping for a moment. She was already very tired. She gritted her teeth and continued to follow Kulu while holding on to the trees beside her.

However, as soon as her hand touched the tree on the side, the completely different texture made Xiyin stop her movements. She looked at the tree that her hand was supporting, and when she released her hand, she saw a small piece of iron.

The part of the iron piece is very strange, as if it is growing out of a tree.

"what happened?"

Kulu always paid attention to Xiyin. Seeing that there was no sound behind her, she also came to Kulu.

"Armor..." Xiyin whispered, and suddenly took out a hunter's knife and stabbed it into it, trying to pry out the piece of iron.

However, unlike other trees, after Xiyin's knife penetrated into it, the tree split quickly, as if it were a defective product that gave up quality in pursuit of efficiency in human society.

Xiyin was stunned for a moment, but immediately sped up.

She used her hunter's knife to dig hard, and each swing of the knife caused damage to the big tree. In the end, she was even able to break open the trunk directly with her hands.

But after a while, she screamed, her shoulders trembled and she took a step back, her eyes filled with disbelief.

What was embedded in the trees was not a piece of iron, but the fingertips of the gauntlets. They were buried in the trees for some reason, but before that, the entire hand was still stretching out, engraved with its struggle until now.

"What's going on..." Kulu was also shocked by this scene. She also opened the tree with force, and the face of this hand soon appeared in front of the two of them.

——It was a face covered in fear. His mouth was twisted and opened wide. The face was thin and wilted, as if all the nutrients had been drained away.

But the scariest thing is the plants extending from the seven holes in his face.Even Kulu couldn't help but feel horrified by such a tragic death.

What on earth had he gone through to become like this?

Looking at the appearance of this corpse, Xiyin suddenly remembered something. He quickly looked around and shouted helplessly: "Instructor! Instructor Haixin? Answer me!"

She ran anxiously, with a cry in her voice.

Kulu followed her, and suddenly felt something strange under her feet. When she looked down, she found that the land here was more humid than other places.

"Xiyin, wait a minute!"

She quickly stopped the girl and immediately came to the big tree in front of her.

This giant tree is too eye-catching. Even hundreds of people holding hands cannot surround it due to its thick appearance. This also makes Kulu feel extremely strange.

She put her hand in front of the tree and knocked hard, and a strange sound sounded.

Her eyes became serious and she looked at Xiyin: "Stay away - stand behind me."

"Well..." Xiyin sobbed, rubbed his eyes and followed Kulu back to a distance of more than ten meters.

Kulu held the bow and arrow behind her back, pulled out an arrow with a swollen arrow, drew the bow into a full moon, pointed slightly in the direction, and shot towards the side of the two people.

Whoosh!

A sharp sound broke through the air, and the arrow hit the tree, causing an explosion.

The arrow exploded the trees, and a stream of water spurted out, hitting the sides of the two men.There was a pungent rancid smell that made both of them cover their noses involuntarily.

"Well......"

Xiyin felt a little nauseous, but he didn't eat anything last night, so naturally he couldn't vomit it out. Kulu also had the experience of facing the corpse of a ferocious beast, so he was calm and composed.

She took the initiative to open the way and came to the exploded tree hole. She looked at the dense and dark jungle inside, lit the lantern at her waist, and held the machete tied to her leg with her other hand, leading Xiyin towards the deep. Walk everywhere.

However, after cutting a few meters, their eyes suddenly opened up, and two spaceships appeared in their sights - as well as corpses on the ground.

"How could..." Xiyin looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, quickly ran onto the spacecraft and looked around.

However, there were more corpses lying on the spacecraft, and that was not all. These corpses were not lying on the ground. On their legs, the plants growing from the ship's deck penetrated their ankles and grew toward the sky.

These plants are hard enough, and they greedily absorb nutrients from the human body. In the end, they even break out from the top of the head or the eyes and mouth, leaving the tree tops stained with blood red.

From a distance, they seemed to be impaled on the big trees, dying in such a desperate and cruel way.

Xiyin suppressed her nausea and saw a big hole in the ship's board. Looking through the hole, she seemed to have discovered something.

Xiyin opened his eyes wide, jumped down from the hole, and came to this familiar sword.

The blade of the big sword had become slippery, but Xiyin still picked it up preciously and followed the traces of the battle slowly towards the depths.

——Soon, she came to a room, in which two charred corpses lay quietly, one of them wearing a familiar armor.

Looking at Hai Xin's unrecognizable corpse, Xiyin's mind went blank. She sat on the ground holding her big sword, and the emotions she had suppressed since yesterday finally burst out here.

People he knew were killed in front of him, and he was also facing the threat of death. From yesterday morning, his life was still the same, but now it is full of dilapidated scenes.

Helpless, sad, and confused, Xiyin was facing torture both mentally and physically at this moment.

Xiyin cried loudly, and her voice echoed in the dead spaceship.

——I don’t know how long it took, but Kulu came to her side, carrying heavy luggage on her back.

She looked at Xiyin and Haixin, closed her eyes with a look of sadness, then squatted down and put her hand on Xiyin's shoulder: "Let's go, we can't stay here anymore."

She has already checked. The spacecraft is completely damaged and has no ability to fly. Moreover, it is too dangerous here. If they continue to stay, they will most likely become one of these people.

Xiyin hugged the sword tightly, sniffed, and asked, "Where are we going?"

"Anywhere will do. If possible, take a spaceship and return to the floating island."

Hearing this, Xiyin looked deeply at Hai Xin in front of her, with reluctance in her eyes, but she still stood up, nodded, hugged Hai Xin's big sword and followed Kulu out of the room.

I’m afraid no one will know about this tragic death——

Chapter 3: City on the Ground

The birds flew through the woods, flew over the mountains, and stopped on a spaceship, making a shrill cry.

This was a letter sent by the black people. However, after the spacecraft was wiped out, it took several months before the bird carrying the letter returned to its destination.

Ice Vein Snowfield - In fact, this land has nothing to do with ice and snow. The land is occasionally hot and sometimes cold. This is the impact of the death of the nearby Xingzhou Dragon.

Fortunately, people built buildings here to help protect people from wind and rain. At the same time, spacecrafts that collected food also arrived in the distance to open up new fields. This made up for the damage caused by ecological changes and population increase.

——The screaming of the flying bird attracted the arrival of a bobcat. It skillfully picked off the bottle at the bird's feet, settled it, and took the bottle to the cabin not far away.

"Meow~"

In the deepest part of the cabin, Rachel was flipping through documents sent from all over the Ice Vein Snowfield. Of course, she was not using them for annotations. There were a large number of middle- and upper-level employees in the Ice Vein Snow Plains who were filtering the information one by one and reporting it to Rachel. A being with a top-level status only needs to analyze the black dragon's orders and give the most basic orders to the subordinates.

What she is doing now is to study the decision-making of those high-level personnel and understand the choices they make when encountering various unexpected situations.

——Because the ice-veined snowfield changed too fast, under the control of the black dragon, he conquered floating islands one after another and turned them into nutrients for his own growth.And everything He did also benefited His followers.

But before that, Rachel did not forget her identity: an unfortunate person in a backward village. Because of her identity, she became their priest and became the person closest to the gods.

Apart from that, she has nothing, and even the rare books are antiques over a hundred years old collected from other villagers.

The Black Dragon needs more and more things, so in order to keep up with him, Rachel must continue to learn - otherwise, she will become a blind girl with no one to rely on.

No one to rely on...

Thinking of this, Rachel couldn't help but think of her biological sister, Shia... What is she doing now after escaping from here?
