[106] Forest of Immortals
When Zhang Sen was dreaming of making a fortune, he was unconsciously approaching the island where the song came out.
This is a large island, with an area of almost 32,000 square kilometers, because the dark clouds in the sky have dispersed, at this time from the sky overlook, this island is not bad, at least it can be said that the appearance of this world environment is responsible.
"Lao Zhang, what do you want, we have arrived." Lina stopped when she saw the island, because it was in the sea water, they were different from each other, Zhang Sen was still dreaming of making a fortune, and she didn't realize that Lina stopped, so she hit her head on her buttocks, she turned around and patted Zhang Sen's head and said.
Zhang Sen closed the webpage, touched his head and said, "I bumped into something just now, it's a little hard!" ”
"you, there's the island ahead, go ahead, we're all here for you!" Lina patted Zhang Sen's head again unhappily, and continued.
Zhang Sen didn't say anything, he rose directly from the sea to the surface, and then looked at the island.
The island is so big that you can't see the end of the two sides at least at a glance.
He quickly came out of the water, stepped on the surface of the water and rushed to the island, and in the blink of an eye he was on the beach.
"There doesn't seem to be any danger."
Zhang Sen didn't dare to be careless, the first thing he did after going ashore was to observe the surrounding environment and look back to see if there was any vision.
However, there seems to be no problem with this island, after entering the island, there is neither a large number of monster sieges nor changes in the environment, everything is still the same, calm and calm.
He looked back at the forest in front of the beach, the first green forest he had seen in the long time since he had entered the world of Ragnarok.
The plants here are all green, and the dense foliage blocks the view, so no one knows what is hidden inside.
Instead of rushing into the forest, Zhang Sen began to walk around the island, looking for Neptune's footprints on the beach.
Under normal circumstances, a giant the size of Neptune, since he has landed on the island, will inevitably leave a huge footprint, which obviously cannot be erased by the sea so quickly.
As long as he finds Neptune's footprints, he can roughly guess the direction and location of the target, and the next search will have a door in his heart, so as not to crash into it and be beaten by a husband and wife.
The island was so large that it took Zhang Sen two hours to discover Neptune's footprints, even though he walked fast.
The footprints were deep, indicating that Neptune did not walk in normally, but slammed on the ground and jumped over.
Zhang Sen looked at the footprints and could even imagine the picture of it jumping.
After learning the location of Neptune's landing, Zhang Sen bypassed this location and directly spared a large circle, and then entered the forest.
The forest was very old, and the green moss could be seen on the stones, and the carcasses of animals fertilized the whole land, and he could feel the fertility of the land when he stepped on the ground.
"Goo, goo!"
Suddenly, a strange bird call caught Zhang Sen's attention.
Zhang Sen looked up to the right, a white skeleton bird was watching him from the tree, and the bird's bones were still burning soul fire.
Skeleton?
Zhang Sen frowned slightly, because this was a little different from what he imagined, this forest was not suitable for the survival of the undead, the vitality of this forest was too strong, unless it was an extremely powerful undead who transformed this land into humus, otherwise the low-level undead had been in this kind of forest with explosive vitality for a long time, and it should slowly turn back into a dry bone.
As a former wizard, and a former necromancer, Zhang Sen didn't dare to say how knowledgeable he was about the undead, but basic common sense still couldn't be mistaken.
Since he wasn't mistaken, there must have been something wrong.
He stared at the skeleton bird, and the skeleton bird was not afraid, and from time to time it made a 'coo, coo' sound.
First of all, he needs to determine whether the skeleton bird is real or fake, and if it is a real skeleton bird, then the next step is to carry out the next step of detection.
He lifted his camera and clicked directly at the skeleton bird, which was obviously not a particularly powerful undead creature, and was directly sealed into the photo by him.
After the camera spit out the photo, he pinched it and looked at it, and the skeleton bird inside still had no special changes.
This should be the 'truth' of the skeleton bird.
Since the skeleton bird is a real skeleton bird, and there is nothing special about it, it means that there is something wrong with this forest.
Is this greenery an illusion?
If all this is an illusion, what does the reality look like?
Zhang Sen looked up at the dense forest, and even the sunlight could not penetrate the leaves, and he really couldn't imagine that all this was fake.
But if this is not fake, then how can the skeleton bird survive in this forest?
Zhang Sen took a deep breath and didn't continue to think nonsense, the answer must be ahead, what he needs to do is not to think, but to move forward!
He continued on his way, through rocky paths, through dirt paths with streams, and into the island.
Suddenly, he saw another creature, probably a creature.
This is a silver deer, the antlers of this deer are woven from vines, the problem is that this deer has a huge wound in the abdomen, directly tearing open two-thirds of the flesh, the bones are clearly visible, and at least a third of the internal organs are missing.
But the deer didn't seem to care, and was drinking water in the waterhole with its head down, and the water kept flowing directly from its wounds, so it kept drinking.
Zhang Sen thought for a while, stepped forward and tried to attack, and the shadow instantly burst out from the ground, directly penetrating the throat of the deer.
The deer was frightened, turned and ran, because Zhang Sen's blow not only pierced the throat, but also pierced the cervical vertebrae, so that its head could not stand up at all, but ran as if dragging something.
From Zhang Sen's point of view, it looks like a headless deer running wildly.
At this time, the deer finally had a problem, because its head was hanging on its body, and it could not see the road ahead, so it slammed into a mossy rock, so it directly tilted its body, and fell on it and struggled, but could not get up again.
Zhang Sen stepped forward slowly, his shadow condensed into a sharp scalpel, and tried to cut the flesh of the deer.
The deer struggled so hard that he restrained its limbs with a shadow so that he could continue experimenting.
When he cut open the skin and muscles of the deer, he found that the deer had actually died a long time ago, and all the internal functions had basically stopped, but there was an invisible, unperceived, and incomprehensible force that maintained its vitality, so it maintained its original appearance.
"The Immortal Forest?"
Zhang Sen let go of the deer, looked at the deer still struggling, and muttered to himself.
There is an unknown force in this forest that maintains the vitality of the entire forest, and any living creature in this forest is an immortal existence, even if the flesh and blood are eaten empty by bacteria, it can continue to exist as an undead.
The skeleton bird was obviously not eyeliner or an oracle or anything like that, just an ordinary bird.
"It's kind of interesting."
Zhang Sen was a little curious about how the other party did all this, so he decided to continue to explore further.
As a former wizard, discovering such an interesting phenomenon, even if there is no benefit, he will continue to explore, and do it without any return, because sometimes intellectual curiosity is more important than wealth.
Of course, it would be even more perfect if you could get a lot of wealth by the way.
Next, he saw some undead creatures, as well as some non-undead creatures.
He saw a group of monkeys resembling monkeys, resembling monkeys in appearance, and living in groups, but the group was a little strange because they were mixed with the living and the dead.
Some of the female monkeys were breastfeeding with the skeleton monkey in their arms, and the skeleton monkey didn't feel anything wrong, and one kept sucking, but because it didn't have a tongue and couldn't suck, no milk dripped out at all.
There are also some monkeys whose heads have turned into skeletons and their bodies are badly decomposed, and they are also very busy, and even occasionally quarrel with the living monkeys, and even get into fights.
These creatures do not seem to have the concept of death, they have lost the fear and awe of death.
After Zhang Sen observed, he quietly left, and then continued to move forward.
About five hours after landing on the island, he came to a village, the first village he saw when he entered the world of Ragnarok.
The village is very old, and the humble buildings alone show that the level of indigenous civilization here is very low, even several notches lower than the Maria village in the game.
Zhang Sen did not find it strange, after all, the world is so big, it is impossible for the level of civilization in every place to be completely consistent, after all, even if it is the earth, there are still indigenous people in the modern Amazon rainforest.
Next, he used his shadow as a camouflage to observe the village in the shadows of the woods.
The population of this village is more than expected, there are about 150 people alive, and more than 500 dead, most of these 500 people are skeletons, but there are also some mummies that may have been mutated due to drying and other reasons.
The image of the undead is terrible, but the living do not seem to be afraid of the image of these undead, some treat these undead with great respect, and some children like to spoil these undead.
Zhang Sen observed for a long time and found that the village seemed to be completely accustomed to this state of harmony between life and death.
This shows that this village has been like this for a long time.
From the more than 500 undead, it can be inferred that the situation here has lasted for at least more than a hundred years, and as for what was the situation a hundred years ago, it is not something that can be inferred from this bit of information.
As night fell, the village began to light a bonfire in the middle of the village, and then Zhang Sen saw several people carrying live animals out and cutting meat directly on them, completely ignoring the animals' resistance.
There are even a few people who directly cut the meat on their bodies and roasted it, and the picture is quite painful to watch, but these people don't feel the same at all.
