Chapter 680: Sweet Rain and Dove Poison
Chapter 680: Sweet Rain and Dove Poison
When the light dissipated, Li Yang and Ella slowly opened their eyes.
With the crisp chirping of birds in their ears, they found themselves standing in a lush forest.
The tall trees cover the sky and the sun, and the sunlight falls on the ground through the gaps between the leaves, forming mottled light and shadow.
The air is filled with the fresh smell of grass and earth, and the sound of gurgling water can be heard in the distance.
"This time... Is it where you expected it?" Ella looked around curiously.
Li Yang nodded, then raised his hand and threw out the [Street Lamp Flower].
A huge orange-yellow star appeared in the sky, almost covering the sky and the sun, transmitting everything around it to Li Yang's eyes.
Ella raised her hand slightly, feeling the flow of energy around her, and Kai껙 murmured:
"Here... is a world full of life."
"It's completely different from the place we just went to."
Li Yang opened his eyes with a thoughtful expression on his face:
"Full of life?"
"That's true, but it's not necessarily good or bad."
Ella was a little confused: "Did you see anything bad?"
Li Yang grinned slightly, but didn't say much. He just waved his hands and took the lead in walking in a certain direction.
The two of them walked along a faintly visible path.
About half an hour into the forest, the surrounding trees became taller and denser.
The sunlight could barely penetrate the thick canopy of trees, and the surrounding area became dark.
Li Yang stopped and reached out to stop Ella.
"What's wrong?" Ella asked in a low voice.
Li Yang didn't answer, just stared ahead at the darkness.
Ella followed his line of sight and was surprised to find that deep in the woods, there was a pair of shimmering eyes watching them.
The eyes slowly came closer and finally revealed their full appearance.
That huge creature had a humanoid body, but had a deer head, and its head was dotted with intricate antlers, like a miniature tree.
Its fur shows a light green color, as if moss covers it.
"The indigenous people...땤are also related to the [heart]."
"I'm really curious...what's there 놅【心】놆 here."
Li Yang murmured to himself.
The creature stopped in front of the two of them, lowered its head, and stared at them quietly with its dark green eyes.
"Li Yang, welcome back..." A soft voice sounded in their minds, "Although I don't know if I know you, I know the one you are..."
This man is neither human nor ghost, but he actually knows Li Yang.
Ella opened her mouth slightly, showing an expression of surprise.
At the same time, Li Yang also frowned slightly and re-examined the existence in front of him.
After seeing the person's reaction, the creature's eyes showed a look of regret.
Immediately, he continued to use the method just now and sent his own words into Li Yang's mind through his thoughts:
"I see."
"Introduce yourself...I am the servant spirit, the caretaker of this place."
Ella bowed slightly and responded politely: "It's rare to meet a friendly being who can communicate with you. Hello, we are..."
"I know who you are." Yuling stopped him, "You came to look for [heart], right?"
Ella looked at Li Yang in surprise, and the latter remained calm: "It seems that you know a lot."
Yi Ling nodded: "Everything in this world is connected to me... Therefore, I sense your arrival, and I also know your eyes."
"Then," Li Yang looked directly into Yi Ling's eyes, "will you stop us?"
Yi Ling was silent for a while, then slowly spoke: "No, I won't stop you..."
"Instead, I will guide you to find your [heart]."
Li Yang raised his eyebrows: "This is a bit unexpected... Why?"
Yi Ling spoke slowly: "Because...this is my responsibility, Li Yang."
"I also ordered you..."
"This world depends on [heart] for its existence. It thrives because of [heart], and it also disappears because of [heart]."
"Its lifespan has reached the end, but because of the existence of [heart], it has been unable to die."
"Only you can help it escape, Li Yang."
"To untie a bell, you must tie the bell. You taught me this..."
Aila's face showed a puzzled expression. She looked at Li Yang, then at Yi Ling, and finally couldn't help but ask:
"So...what's the relationship between you and Li Yang?"
The service spirit nodded slightly and made a hoarse sound like a young deer, like a smile, or some kind of miserable cry.
After it finished laughing, it shook its head and began to explain:
"Relationship? It doesn't matter..."
"I only created things to relieve my boredom."
"Of course...if you don't care about him, I understand."
When he said the last sentence, he tilted his head slightly and stared into Li Yang's eyes.
Li Yang did not respond to its gaze, but looked at the forest in the distance and asked:
"So what's going on in this world?"
"Are you the only living creature left in this place?"
Yi Ling smiled, turned around, and motioned for the two of them to follow:
"Come with me...I'll tell you everything."
After finishing speaking, three figures shuttled through the deep forest.
As they moved forward, Li Yang and Ella discovered that the surrounding vegetation began to change.
The originally lush and green trees have become withered, and the grass and trees on the ground have turned unhealthy brown.
"Did you see it?" Yuling's voice was full of sadness, "This disaster is spreading."
Li Yang carefully observed the surrounding situation: "Some kind of disease?"
"No," Yi Ling shook his head, "There is something more terrifying...the essence of life is distorted."
It stopped and pointed into the distance with its antlers: "Look over there."
Li Yang and Ella followed the guidance and saw a strange scene in the distance.
The trees there are twisted and deformed, the branches are wriggling like tentacles, and the leaves are covered with strange eyeballs.
"This..." Ella took a breath of air and murmured, "The psychic energy here is so chaotic that it cannot be sorted out."
"How powerful is chaos, and it can cause such consequences?"
"The power of [Heart] is out of control." When Li Yang saw the whole picture through [Street Lamp Flower], he already had the answer in his heart, "Just like the sun of the world, the [Heart] of this world is also out of control. "
Yi Ling nodded: "That's right..."
"[Heart] originally maintained the core of ecological balance in this world, but now it has begun to distort the surrounding life."
"Whether I left this [heart] behind, Li Yang, or the [heart] itself, the starting point is good."
"But in this world, there is only [time], the greatest chaos."
"[The heart] is only a machine, and it only knows how to work according to a fixed program."
"In the face of ever-changing civilizations over time, the rain that was originally regarded as a guideline will eventually turn into a heart-cutting, bone-corroding poison."
"This world has long since rotted, but it is still dragged by [the heart], moving forward slowly like a walking zombie..."
Li Yang thought thoughtfully: "So, you, 꺳녈, take the initiative to take us there and take [heart] away?"
"놆놅." The service spirit said, "This is my...the last wish of all living beings in this world."
"We are grateful to you for your endless life, and we beg you to be merciful and grant us death that is long overdue."
After that, it slowly kowtowed down, like an overly pious martyr.
Like a small tree, between the antlers of the deer, there is a faint green fluorescence, just like the fireflies that can be seen in the gaps at night.
