After being reborn, I got HE with my deadly enemy [Interstellar]
Chapter 52 Endless Forest
When Jiang Li and the new old John left, the old old John's head was still lying on the lake, staring at their backs.
The new old John is very talkative, it seems that his brain has not turned into slime, at least he can answer all Jiang Li's questions.
"You mean Zhao Heze? Ha, that client is really naive." Old John exhausted all his strength to not spit out any unpleasant words. Those clients who think they are superior people always care about others. Regarding their evaluation, before the task was completed, Old John didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so he changed his words to be euphemistic.
"He thought the endless forest was the back garden of his house." Old John said again: "It's only been ten minutes since he came out, and he was tired. He asked us how long it would take to get there. Just kidding, we don't know how long it will take to get there The task we took was to search for people. There is no fixed destination. No one can leave until we find someone. I estimated that it will take at least two months. It is estimated that we can finish searching this forest. As long as we don’t get lost, we’re not attacked, and everything goes well.”
"The client couldn't take it anymore. He said loudly that he wanted to go back, but how could he go back? The task has just begun! But our captain, you know, is very soft-tempered. The client said he wanted to go back. He agreed, saying that he would send the client back to the starship, and let the client wait for us on the starship, who knew that something would happen right after we got back?"
"What happened?" Jiang Li asked half a step behind Old John.
In fact, he should have walked side by side with Old John, because every relic hunter is not used to being followed by others. This feeling is like being sniped at any time. If there is someone walking behind him all the time, Jiang Li will definitely feel that The man wanted to sneak up on himself.
Therefore, Old John turned his head to look at Jiang Li frequently.
Jiang Li could only speed up his pace and stand side by side with Old John, because after a brief observation, he found that Old John had sharp hands, feet, and sharp facial features. Regardless of whether he was genuine or not, Jiang Li couldn't beat him, nor could he sneak attack.
After all, Old John is an A-level individual soldier with strong combat power and rich experience. Jiang Li threw a miniature explosive D in front of him, and he could dodge in the next second and twist Jiang Li's arm.
Seeing that Jiang Li followed, Old John's expression became better—he didn't want to tear himself apart with Jiang Li. Li is the most powerful medical soldier in the two teams, and only with Jiang Li around can he feel at ease.
When Old John turned his head, Jiang Li raised his head calmly and looked at Old John's neck.
"Where's your captain?" Jiang Li asked.
"Scattered." Old John sneered, "I don't know where he went."
Old John's skin was black, and it was hard to see anything at first glance, but Jiang Li seemed to be able to see the roots of plants and the transparent mucus through those blood vessels.
After a brief conversation, a lake appeared in front of them.
"Wow, what a beautiful lake." Old John pushed away the branches blocking the lake: "I'm going to get some water."
Jiang Li stood on it and looked at him.
Old John went directly to the lake. After picking up the water source, Old John suddenly pointed to the lake and said, "Look, Jiang Li, what is that!"
Jiang Li squinted his eyes and saw that it was a mermaid.
Well, the old and new John's aesthetic is the same.
Sure enough, the next second, Old John jumped into the lake and invited Jiang Li to come down with him.
Jiang Li skillfully refused: "I like men."
Old John answered more skillfully: "I'm also a man!"
Then Jiang Li took out his miniature fried D.
When the second fried D was thrown down, Jiang Li really wondered if he was blown out of his mind by some fog. If he hadn't repeatedly confirmed that there were indeed two fried D's missing in his pocket, he would have felt I was smoked by some kind of poisonous gas and had hallucinations.
After a brief hesitation, Jiang Li injected himself with a mental stabilizer, which can resist hallucinations. During the injection, Jiang Li sat under the tree above the lake, staring at the half of his head under the tree.
This time, there was some brain tissue in the bottom half of the head, but there was still some mucus, and the blown half of his face floated on the water, looking at Jiang Li unwillingly.
Jiang Li thought for a long time, finally stood up, walked down the high slope slowly, and walked all the way to the side of the lake.
The mermaid ran away again.
He seemed to be stuck in some kind of loop that was all by himself and had to be broken to get out.
And the only way out is probably in this water, because the old and new Johns have been trying to lure him down.
It's a pity that he is not a strong individual soldier.
So before Jiang Li went down to the lake, he used the remaining explosives in his hand to blow up a splash of water on the lake, turning the corpses of old and new John into a transparent liquid, and then he was ready to go down.
However, before going down this time, Jiang Li heard Old John's voice again.
This time, Old John didn't say hello cheerfully, nor did he say those annoying words, but he appeared from nowhere, lurking like a poisonous snake under the branches of the high slope that Jiang Li had come down from before, staring straight at him. Look at Jiang Li.
"Jiang Li, do you want to go down to the lake?" He asked.
"What are you looking for?" The third old John walked towards Jiang Li by the lake, his face seemed to have veins wriggling, and the veins looked like some kind of curse.
When he asked this sentence, Jiang Li's spine went numb.
An almost "beast instinct" premonition struck Jiang Li's heart in an instant, and Jiang Li jumped into the lake before Old John rushed towards him ferociously, trying to catch him.
The lake water is very clear, about three to five meters, there are no beautiful mermaids in the lake, only a dead body and green seaweed.
The corpse of Old John, staring, with intact facial features and intact body.
Jiang Li turned his head and saw through the rippling water waves that Old John on the shore had melted.
Like a candle being melted, starting from the skin, gradually changing from a person to a puddle of mucus.
Jiang Xin floated in the water for a while in shock, before he ran out of oxygen, he lifted the body of the dead old John in the lake and brought him to the shore.
This time when he went ashore, he never met the new old John again, only after the corpse of this old John fell beside him, Jiang Li pricked his skin, and after confirming that there was blood instead of light green sticky mucus, he did not Dare to rest assured.
This is the real, old John's body.
After Jiang Li sat beside Old John for a while, he began to speculate about the whole process.
First, two old Johns tried to lure him into the water, but the third old John stopped him from going into the water and asked "Is there anything under the water?" Obviously, the third old John didn't want him to find the body.
The difference between the first two times and the third time is that there were beauties in the first two times, but not in the third time.
Jiang Li sat cross-legged on the ground and pondered for a moment, then vaguely deduced an idea.
The reason why Old John died here seems to be related to beautiful women. One can see something from Old John's body, and those people who are exactly like Old John seem to want to use the same method to seduce Jiang Li and make Jiang Li Li also died in the same way as Old John, so they wanted Jiang Li to come down and take a bath with the beauty.
It's a pity that Jiang Li's sexual orientation is not the same as Old John's, so the way to seduce Old John cannot seduce Jiang Li, and when Jiang Li finds Old John's body, the game is over.
There will be no new Old John.
Jiang Li deduced a formula.
Certain tempting factors + restrictive conditions of death = the way the endless forest eats people, and finding the corpse is the key to breaking the game.
Jiang Li seemed to have vaguely explored the secret of the endless forest. When he looked at Old John's face again, what he was thinking about was Laos' words.
The endless forest... can satisfy all human desires.
Is this sentence really a rumor spread by Chen Yuehui?
After thinking for a while, Jiang Li took Old John's team bracelet and continued to make marks on the spot.
He couldn't carry a corpse of Old John on his back. He didn't have the physical strength, so he could only take the team bracelet to prove that he had indeed seen Old John and that Old John was indeed dead. If Old John's teammates wanted, they could pass Jiang Li's guide came back to fetch Old John's body. If he didn't want to, Old John would probably be buried here forever.
However, Jiang Li guessed that they were unwilling.
After all, they were just a group of stragglers gathered temporarily, and they didn't have enough friendship to support them to take the risk of taking the body of an unfamiliar teammate.
So Jiang Li deliberately covered Old John with some soil and leaves, as a last effort, and then got up and left the forest.
Surrounded by endless, repeating trees, Jiang Li tried to turn around and walk back to the lake where Old John's body was after walking for a while.
But when Jiang Li turned around to find his way back, he found that the trees he marked had disappeared.
The trees and overgrown weeds were all the same everywhere, and even the light above his head seemed to be from the same angle. Jiang Li faced the traceless path and trees behind him, and took a deep breath.
He has been reluctant to believe it, but the situation he least wants to encounter has indeed happened.
The sudden mist, the sudden separation of the crowd, and the inexplicably disappearing marks all prove one thing—this forest is alive, and it is consciously dispersing and hunting.
Such a large forest, as long as it is willing, no one who walks here will encounter it.
Although I have indeed encountered many difficulties in the past, none of them are as difficult as the current situation.
No wonder the official organization of the empire didn't develop this D-level planet.
After Jiang Li sat for a while, he took out the solid fuel and started to burn the tree.
Since there is a problem with the forest, then the forest should be attacked.
It's a pity that Jiangli's solid fuel can't ignite all the trees, because these trees are very rich in juice, they won't form a forest fire at all, and the juice can also extinguish the fire of solid fuel.
In short, Jiang Li's method seems useless.
Jiang Li can only use the last method.
He climbed the trees, stepped on these hard trunks and branches, climbed to the top, and looked down at the entire green forest under the sun from top to bottom—this forest is like an emerald framed by golden light.
After finding the best angle, Jiang Li took out a handful of fireworks.
It was his last resort, the forest was alive but the sky above was not.
A blue firework pierced through layers of tree crowns and exploded in the air more than ten meters above Jiang Li's head.
-
When the blue fireworks exploded above the forest, Zhao Heze, who was walking in a daze, was sweating and looked up.
He recalled what Zhang He had told him a little strangely.
Red fireworks mean that the place is dangerous and needs to be avoided urgently. Green fireworks mean that the place is safe, there is drinking water, and you can get close to it. Blue fireworks mean that you need help.
Who would set off the fireworks?
Zhao Heze couldn't take care of it anymore, he only knew that he needed help now.
It was only a matter of turning around before, and everyone was lost. He walked here alone for an unknown period of time, all electronic equipment failed, and he didn't even bring a light blade - Zhang He wanted to give him one before, but he I disliked those things as weapons that only relic hunters would take, so I didn't take them.
Fortunately, the forest is very clean, there are no snakes or spiders.
I said it was scary when I set off before, but in fact there is nothing remarkable in this forest. The group of relic hunters are really rare and strange. It is obvious that they are talking about such dangers here to make money.
So Zhao Heze raised his feet and walked towards the direction where the blue fireworks exploded.
After walking for about three to five minutes, Zhao Heze saw an open plain. It is strange to have an open plain in a forest. What is even more strange is that there is a lake in the middle of the plain. Beside this lake There is also a tree.
This tree is very tall, as tall as the Sirius government building, reaching straight up to the sky, with a dense canopy, and there are fluorescent lights flying on the lake beside the tree. In the rippling water, it seems that some kind of creature is wandering in it .
When seeing this scene, Zhao Heze's body was shaking with excitement.
He knows it here.
A long time ago, after his teacher Chen Yuehui was drunk, he took his hand and said: "I made a wish to the gods."
-
"It's a forest. There is a big tree and a lake in the forest. It's a sacred tree. As long as you make a wish to the sacred tree, your wish will come out of the lake."
Zhao Heze always thought that Chen Yuehui was talking nonsense before, but Chen Yuehui secretly took people away from Sirius several times. Every time Chen Yuehui came back, he would bring back something new.
For example, certain medicines, such as certain things that they couldn't get in the empire. Some time ago, Chen Yuehui even brought back a baby.
Zhao Heze had to suspect that Chen Yuehui seemed to have a big secret.
But now, Zhao Heze felt that he had touched Chen Yuehui's secret.
The universe is so big, it seems normal to have some weird things.
So, did Chen Yuehui rely on this tree to get so many things?
When Zhao Heze came to his senses, his person was already standing in front of the tree, and his hands were stroking the rough torso of the tree, and he suddenly had endless desires in his heart.
His eyes were slightly red, and he began to recall the injustice and unwillingness he had encountered since he was a child.
The most recent dissatisfaction should be given to him by Chen Yuehui. Although Chen Yuehui treats him well on the surface, he always says behind his back that he is "not talented enough".
If we go further-
His level of mental power is not high, and his mental body is a weak little hamster, which can't even reach the lowest level of military academy admissions, so he can only go to an ordinary university.
When he was in college, he often heard from his father's relatives that Zhao Heze was not smart and was considered average among pharmacists.
In high school, he suffered a lot of insults because his mother was a dancer and he didn't have a father.
When he was in junior high school, his family was very poor, and his mother would beat him occasionally.
Before he went to elementary school, he lived with his grandma, who didn't like him, would prick his arm with a needle, and call him a little white-eyed wolf raised by a bitch.
So what is his wish?
Is it to have a normal mother, to make my father like him, to make my childhood happy, or to have a strong pharmacist talent and be an admirable pharmacist?
His wishes seem to be a bit too much, but if these wishes are put together and mixed into one, it should be that he wants another life, if he can become another person, then he——
"Let me become Jiang Li." Zhao Heze, who was standing in front of the tree, had a fanatical yearning on his face. He touched the tree, as if he had fallen into a state of nervousness, and the muscles on his face twitched wildly. Repeatedly: "Let me become Jiang Li, my wish is, let me become Jiang Li."
If he was Jiang Li, how wonderful it would be. He was born a powerful pharmacist, attracted the attention of thousands of people, was liked by an excellent teacher, and had a strong partner.
There seemed to be the sound of water and the sound of calling, Zhao Heze turned his head stiffly, and found that beside him, the water in those lakes began to swirl.
Zhao Heze walked towards the lake involuntarily, step by step.
If he looked carefully, he would find that the water in these lakes was not real water, but some kind of light green viscous liquid, which gradually submerged Zhao Heze and wrapped Zhao Heze under the water surface.
Mucus penetrated all the holes in Zhao Heze's body, Zhao Heze's body began to change, and his face gradually became exactly like Jiang Li.
He really turned into Jiang Li.
Is this the teacher's secret?
A happy and satisfied smile overflowed Zhao Heze's face.
Now, it was his secret too.
Zhao Heze rolled in the lake. Before the change was completely accepted, he wanted to climb ashore, but for some reason, he couldn't control his body at all. He only felt that his body was getting heavier and heavier, and he couldn't help it. began to sink to the bottom of the lake.
When he sank to a very deep place, he saw one, no, ten, one hundred, densely packed corpses.
These corpses were men and women, stacked one after another at the bottom of the lake made of pale green mucus, and everyone had big smiles on their faces.
Finally, Zhao Heze fell to the bottom of the lake together with Jiang Li's face, just like these corpses.
Before his head was completely eaten by those green slime, Zhao Heze realized one thing.
The Divine Tree fulfilled his wish, so naturally he had to take the price from him.
It seems that his price is his own body.
A burst of water hit, and the green slime rolled up like a real water flow, rolled up Zhao Heze, wrapped it around a few times, and sent Zhao Heze to another lake along the underground undercurrent.
Within ten seconds, Zhao Heze, who was lying under the lake, suddenly opened his eyes.
With a face exactly like Jiang Li's, he emerged from the bottom of the lake, stood under the sun and leaves, shaking his head.
Inside there was the characteristic liquid slamming sound of slime being shaken.
"Do you want to become Jiang Li?" Zhao Heze wiped off the water stains on his face, and muttered with empty eyes: "Do you want to become Jiang Li?"
-
The blue fireworks were released in the air, Jiang Li sat on the tree for half an hour, no one came over, not even any sound.
Jiang Li felt that it was a bit tricky, he stared at the other fireworks on his body, but in the end he still didn't shoot the remaining three fireworks together.
He decided to call again in three hours.
If he wants to fight such a long-term battle, he may not last long.
He took stock of his remaining supplies.
Fortunately, he brought the nutrient solution with him, saving some can last for at least three days.
But there are no living things in this forest, and he has nothing to eat. After the nutrient solution in his pocket is exhausted, he can only consume himself to death. If he is really consumed like this, then He's a little too embarrassing.
Actually, he could eat the bark off the tree and live longer, but he didn't want to because he thought the green slime inside the trunk was exactly the same as the green slime he blew up in Old John's head. I don't want to drink this kind of thing into my stomach at all.
So Jiang Li could only continue to trek in the forest. This time, he began to consciously look for someone similar to "Old John".
Since he couldn't find his partner, it would be good to find these monsters whose heads were full of slime. At least he could know how many people died among them.
But in the next few hours, Jiang Li didn't encounter any slime monsters.
It was as if the forest also knew that Jiang Li was a difficult character, so they bypassed him and chose someone who was easier to deceive.
Jiang Li let out a long sigh.
Hey, it would be nice to have a monster come and trick him again.
-
In the lush woods, Zhang He was going to find a place to rest.
He has already figured out the strangeness of this place, but he can't find the direction to go out for the time being. However, he has encountered many strange things like this before, so he is not afraid.
The next thing to do is to wait and search, this is what he is best at, but he is somewhat irritable - he likes to hold the prey in his palm and play with it, to see the prey collapse and despair, and to see the target lose its direction under his guidance , will make him find it interesting, but now, he can't even see the mission target, which makes him really bored.
When he sat down, put down the backpack behind him, and was about to take out something to eat, Zhang He suddenly heard small cries in the forest, like a very hungry child.
The voice came from the grass, and Zhang He could faintly see a shadow in the grass. When Zhang He walked over slowly, he found that the grass was empty.
Zhang He quietly returned to his previous position, only to find that his backpack had been opened.
His previous backpack was closed.
Zhang He paused, then pretended he didn't see anything, and continued walking forward.
But he only took three steps, and then suddenly turned around and pounced on his backpack. With this pounce, Zhang He pounced on a naked little boy, about fifteen or sixteen years old, who was caught by Zhang He. He was shocked. He had to yell: "Don't kill me, don't kill me!"
The light blade in Zhang He's hand froze.
The boy did not die in the end, not because he begged for mercy quickly, but because Zhang He saw the laboratory serial number tattooed on his naked body.
EGS—12457521, named Han Xing.
This is the experimental product of Chen Yuehui's laboratory, and the EGS in front is the abbreviation of Chen Yuehui.
Because of the relationship between his client Zhao Heze and Chen Yuehui, Zhang He could easily recognize this—it was the real thing.
Zhang He subconsciously looked at the experimental subject carefully.
Zhao Heze showed him the photos before he set off. Chen Yuehui did bring an experimental subject to the endless forest, but the photo of the experimental subject was only a three-month-old child, but now this one is at least a teenager.
Although some experimental subjects were injected with growth hormone to stimulate growth, the stimulation process was not so fast, and the growth rate of this experimental subject obviously had nothing to do with growth hormone.
And the little boy who was sized up shrank even more.
Zhang He hesitated for a moment, then cut the little boy's arm with the blade held between his fingertips.
Faintly visible flesh and crimson color.
Zhang He heaved a sigh of relief and completely believed that this was the experimental subject—he had encountered several humanoid monsters dripping with slime before, so he naturally knew how to tell them apart.
Because Zhang He had an extra oil bottle, he didn't wander around. Instead, he sat down, took out solid fuel to keep warm, and then asked the experimental subject.
"Who did you come with, what about the others? What did you meet here?"
The question Zhang He asked was very simple, but the subject seemed to half-understand it, and even covered his stomach aggrievedly.
Zhang He took out the nutrient solution from his pocket, shook it in mid-air, and the hooked Han Xing looked at it eagerly, and said: "You can eat after answering the questions."
Han Xing licked his lips, and said intermittently: "Chen Yuehui, Dad, went to find Shushu, Harry's father, died, Han Xing was very hungry, Han Xing came out to find food, and will go back later, Chen Yuehui's father can't see Han Xing , will be angry."
Zhang He sneered.
"You call Chen Yuehui Dad? You are just his experimental subject. Those pharmacists will do anything for the experiment."
Han Xing frowned, and seemed unhappy and said, "He is my father."
Zhang He ignored him, but was thinking about Harry.
Harry, he also heard from Zhao Heze.
Harry is Chen Yuehui's pharmacist apprentice. Zhang He remembers that the Harry Zhao Heze said was a low-level pharmacist apprentice with a cowardly personality who followed Chen Yuehui's lead. Desperate, it is estimated that he will not be able to independently make a potion of his own in this life.
How could Chen Yuehui bring Harry out?
It's not that Zhang He looked down on Harry, it's just that he understands human nature too well. Chen Yuehui is a typical profit-seeking pharmacist. Zhang He couldn't think of anything about Harry that Chen Yuehui could "picture".
"You said you want to go back, can you find the way back?" Zhang He asked, "Can you walk through here without being confused?"
Han Xing hugged the nutrient solution and licked it in small sips, with a proud expression on his face: "Han Xing is fine, Han Xing was born here."
Zhang He asked suspiciously: "How do you walk through here? Can you see other people in the woods?"
Just when Zhang He asked this question, Han Xing suddenly changed his face.
"I won't tell you, Dad won't let me tell others." As he said that, Han Xing suddenly jumped into the grass next to him. Zhang He was startled, he didn't hold on firmly, and watched Han Xing jump into a bush of weeds, and then disappeared gone.
"Fuck." On Zhang He's face, there was an irritability and fierceness that did not agree with his appearance, and he murmured, "What the hell is this?"
Chen Yuehui's experimental body can actually walk through the grass in the endless forest?
These pharmacists always come up with things that people can't understand!
The new old John is very talkative, it seems that his brain has not turned into slime, at least he can answer all Jiang Li's questions.
"You mean Zhao Heze? Ha, that client is really naive." Old John exhausted all his strength to not spit out any unpleasant words. Those clients who think they are superior people always care about others. Regarding their evaluation, before the task was completed, Old John didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so he changed his words to be euphemistic.

No one can leave until we find someone. I estimated that it will take at least two months. It is estimated that we can finish searching this forest. As long as we don’t get lost, we’re not attacked, and everything goes well.”
"The client couldn't take it anymore. He said loudly that he wanted to go back, but how could he go back? The task has just begun! But our captain, you know, is very soft-tempered. The client said he wanted to go back. He agreed, saying that he would send the client back to the starship, and let the client wait for us on the starship, who knew that something would happen right after we got back?"
"What happened?" Jiang Li asked half a step behind Old John.
In fact, he should have walked side by side with Old John, because every relic hunter is not used to being followed by others. This feeling is like being sniped at any time. If there is someone walking behind him all the time, Jiang Li will definitely feel that The man wanted to sneak up on himself.

When Old John turned his head, Jiang Li raised his head calmly and looked at Old John's neck.
"Where's your captain?" Jiang Li asked.
"Scattered." Old John sneered, "I don't know where he went."
Old John's skin was black, and it was hard to see anything at first glance, but Jiang Li seemed to be able to see the roots of plants and the transparent mucus through those blood vessels.
After a brief conversation, a lake appeared in front of them.
"Wow, what a beautiful lake." Old John pushed away the branches blocking the lake: "I'm going to get some water."
Jiang Li stood on it and looked at him.
Old John went directly to the lake. After picking up the water source, Old John suddenly pointed to the lake and said, "Look, Jiang Li, what is that!"
Jiang Li squinted his eyes and saw that it was a mermaid.
Well, the old and new John's aesthetic is the same.
Sure enough, the next second, Old John jumped into the lake and invited Jiang Li to come down with him.
Jiang Li skillfully refused: "I like men."

And the only way out is probably in this water, because the old and new Johns have been trying to lure him down.

Is this sentence really a rumor spread by Chen Yuehui?
After thinking for a while, Jiang Li took Old John's team bracelet and continued to make marks on the spot.
He couldn't carry a corpse of Old John on his back. He didn't have the physical strength, so he could only take the team bracelet to prove that he had indeed seen Old John and that Old John was indeed dead. If Old John's teammates wanted, they could pass Jiang Li's guide came back to fetch Old John's body. If he didn't want to, Old John would probably be buried here forever.
However, Jiang Li guessed that they were unwilling.
After all, they were just a group of stragglers gathered temporarily, and they didn't have enough friendship to support them to take the risk of taking the body of an unfamiliar teammate.
So Jiang Li deliberately covered Old John with some soil and leaves, as a last effort, and then got up and left the forest.
Surrounded by endless, repeating trees, Jiang Li tried to turn around and walk back to the lake where Old John's body was after walking for a while.
But when Jiang Li turned around to find his way back, he found that the trees he marked had disappeared.
The trees and overgrown weeds were all the same everywhere, and even the light above his head seemed to be from the same angle. Jiang Li faced the traceless path and trees behind him, and took a deep breath.
He has been reluctant to believe it, but the situation he least wants to encounter has indeed happened.
The sudden mist, the sudden separation of the crowd, and the inexplicably disappearing marks all prove one thing—this forest is alive, and it is consciously dispersing and hunting.
Such a large forest, as long as it is willing, no one who walks here will encounter it.
Although I have indeed encountered many difficulties in the past, none of them are as difficult as the current situation.
No wonder the official organization of the empire didn't develop this D-level planet.
After Jiang Li sat for a while, he took out the solid fuel and started to burn the tree.
Since there is a problem with the forest, then the forest should be attacked.
It's a pity that Jiangli's solid fuel can't ignite all the trees, because these trees are very rich in juice, they won't form a forest fire at all, and the juice can also extinguish the fire of solid fuel.
In short, Jiang Li's method seems useless.
Jiang Li can only use the last method.
He climbed the trees, stepped on these hard trunks and branches, climbed to the top, and looked down at the entire green forest under the sun from top to bottom—this forest is like an emerald framed by golden light.
After finding the best angle, Jiang Li took out a handful of fireworks.
It was his last resort, the forest was alive but the sky above was not.
A blue firework pierced through layers of tree crowns and exploded in the air more than ten meters above Jiang Li's head.
-
When the blue fireworks exploded above the forest, Zhao Heze, who was walking in a daze, was sweating and looked up.
He recalled what Zhang He had told him a little strangely.
Red fireworks mean that the place is dangerous and needs to be avoided urgently. Green fireworks mean that the place is safe, there is drinking water, and you can get close to it. Blue fireworks mean that you need help.
Who would set off the fireworks?
Zhao Heze couldn't take care of it anymore, he only knew that he needed help now.
It was only a matter of turning around before, and everyone was lost. He walked here alone for an unknown period of time, all electronic equipment failed, and he didn't even bring a light blade - Zhang He wanted to give him one before, but he I disliked those things as weapons that only relic hunters would take, so I didn't take them.
Fortunately, the forest is very clean, there are no snakes or spiders.
I said it was scary when I set off before, but in fact there is nothing remarkable in this forest. The group of relic hunters are really rare and strange. It is obvious that they are talking about such dangers here to make money.
So Zhao Heze raised his feet and walked towards the direction where the blue fireworks exploded.
After walking for about three to five minutes, Zhao Heze saw an open plain. It is strange to have an open plain in a forest. What is even more strange is that there is a lake in the middle of the plain. Beside this lake There is also a tree.
This tree is very tall, as tall as the Sirius government building, reaching straight up to the sky, with a dense canopy, and there are fluorescent lights flying on the lake beside the tree. In the rippling water, it seems that some kind of creature is wandering in it .
When seeing this scene, Zhao Heze's body was shaking with excitement.
He knows it here.
A long time ago, after his teacher Chen Yuehui was drunk, he took his hand and said: "I made a wish to the gods."
-
"It's a forest. There is a big tree and a lake in the forest. It's a sacred tree. As long as you make a wish to the sacred tree, your wish will come out of the lake."
Zhao Heze always thought that Chen Yuehui was talking nonsense before, but Chen Yuehui secretly took people away from Sirius several times. Every time Chen Yuehui came back, he would bring back something new.
For example, certain medicines, such as certain things that they couldn't get in the empire. Some time ago, Chen Yuehui even brought back a baby.
Zhao Heze had to suspect that Chen Yuehui seemed to have a big secret.
But now, Zhao Heze felt that he had touched Chen Yuehui's secret.
The universe is so big, it seems normal to have some weird things.
So, did Chen Yuehui rely on this tree to get so many things?
When Zhao Heze came to his senses, his person was already standing in front of the tree, and his hands were stroking the rough torso of the tree, and he suddenly had endless desires in his heart.
His eyes were slightly red, and he began to recall the injustice and unwillingness he had encountered since he was a child.
The most recent dissatisfaction should be given to him by Chen Yuehui. Although Chen Yuehui treats him well on the surface, he always says behind his back that he is "not talented enough".
If we go further-
His level of mental power is not high, and his mental body is a weak little hamster, which can't even reach the lowest level of military academy admissions, so he can only go to an ordinary university.
When he was in college, he often heard from his father's relatives that Zhao Heze was not smart and was considered average among pharmacists.
In high school, he suffered a lot of insults because his mother was a dancer and he didn't have a father.
When he was in junior high school, his family was very poor, and his mother would beat him occasionally.
Before he went to elementary school, he lived with his grandma, who didn't like him, would prick his arm with a needle, and call him a little white-eyed wolf raised by a bitch.
So what is his wish?
Is it to have a normal mother, to make my father like him, to make my childhood happy, or to have a strong pharmacist talent and be an admirable pharmacist?
His wishes seem to be a bit too much, but if these wishes are put together and mixed into one, it should be that he wants another life, if he can become another person, then he——
"Let me become Jiang Li." Zhao Heze, who was standing in front of the tree, had a fanatical yearning on his face. He touched the tree, as if he had fallen into a state of nervousness, and the muscles on his face twitched wildly. Repeatedly: "Let me become Jiang Li, my wish is, let me become Jiang Li."
If he was Jiang Li, how wonderful it would be. He was born a powerful pharmacist, attracted the attention of thousands of people, was liked by an excellent teacher, and had a strong partner.
There seemed to be the sound of water and the sound of calling, Zhao Heze turned his head stiffly, and found that beside him, the water in those lakes began to swirl.
Zhao Heze walked towards the lake involuntarily, step by step.
If he looked carefully, he would find that the water in these lakes was not real water, but some kind of light green viscous liquid, which gradually submerged Zhao Heze and wrapped Zhao Heze under the water surface.
Mucus penetrated all the holes in Zhao Heze's body, Zhao Heze's body began to change, and his face gradually became exactly like Jiang Li.
He really turned into Jiang Li.
Is this the teacher's secret?
A happy and satisfied smile overflowed Zhao Heze's face.
Now, it was his secret too.
Zhao Heze rolled in the lake. Before the change was completely accepted, he wanted to climb ashore, but for some reason, he couldn't control his body at all. He only felt that his body was getting heavier and heavier, and he couldn't help it. began to sink to the bottom of the lake.
When he sank to a very deep place, he saw one, no, ten, one hundred, densely packed corpses.
These corpses were men and women, stacked one after another at the bottom of the lake made of pale green mucus, and everyone had big smiles on their faces.
Finally, Zhao Heze fell to the bottom of the lake together with Jiang Li's face, just like these corpses.
Before his head was completely eaten by those green slime, Zhao Heze realized one thing.
The Divine Tree fulfilled his wish, so naturally he had to take the price from him.
It seems that his price is his own body.
A burst of water hit, and the green slime rolled up like a real water flow, rolled up Zhao Heze, wrapped it around a few times, and sent Zhao Heze to another lake along the underground undercurrent.
Within ten seconds, Zhao Heze, who was lying under the lake, suddenly opened his eyes.
With a face exactly like Jiang Li's, he emerged from the bottom of the lake, stood under the sun and leaves, shaking his head.
Inside there was the characteristic liquid slamming sound of slime being shaken.
"Do you want to become Jiang Li?" Zhao Heze wiped off the water stains on his face, and muttered with empty eyes: "Do you want to become Jiang Li?"
-
The blue fireworks were released in the air, Jiang Li sat on the tree for half an hour, no one came over, not even any sound.
Jiang Li felt that it was a bit tricky, he stared at the other fireworks on his body, but in the end he still didn't shoot the remaining three fireworks together.
He decided to call again in three hours.
If he wants to fight such a long-term battle, he may not last long.
He took stock of his remaining supplies.
Fortunately, he brought the nutrient solution with him, saving some can last for at least three days.
But there are no living things in this forest, and he has nothing to eat. After the nutrient solution in his pocket is exhausted, he can only consume himself to death. If he is really consumed like this, then He's a little too embarrassing.
Actually, he could eat the bark off the tree and live longer, but he didn't want to because he thought the green slime inside the trunk was exactly the same as the green slime he blew up in Old John's head. I don't want to drink this kind of thing into my stomach at all.
So Jiang Li could only continue to trek in the forest. This time, he began to consciously look for someone similar to "Old John".
Since he couldn't find his partner, it would be good to find these monsters whose heads were full of slime. At least he could know how many people died among them.
But in the next few hours, Jiang Li didn't encounter any slime monsters.
It was as if the forest also knew that Jiang Li was a difficult character, so they bypassed him and chose someone who was easier to deceive.
Jiang Li let out a long sigh.
Hey, it would be nice to have a monster come and trick him again.
-
In the lush woods, Zhang He was going to find a place to rest.
He has already figured out the strangeness of this place, but he can't find the direction to go out for the time being. However, he has encountered many strange things like this before, so he is not afraid.
The next thing to do is to wait and search, this is what he is best at, but he is somewhat irritable - he likes to hold the prey in his palm and play with it, to see the prey collapse and despair, and to see the target lose its direction under his guidance , will make him find it interesting, but now, he can't even see the mission target, which makes him really bored.
When he sat down, put down the backpack behind him, and was about to take out something to eat, Zhang He suddenly heard small cries in the forest, like a very hungry child.
The voice came from the grass, and Zhang He could faintly see a shadow in the grass. When Zhang He walked over slowly, he found that the grass was empty.
Zhang He quietly returned to his previous position, only to find that his backpack had been opened.
His previous backpack was closed.
Zhang He paused, then pretended he didn't see anything, and continued walking forward.
But he only took three steps, and then suddenly turned around and pounced on his backpack. With this pounce, Zhang He pounced on a naked little boy, about fifteen or sixteen years old, who was caught by Zhang He. He was shocked. He had to yell: "Don't kill me, don't kill me!"
The light blade in Zhang He's hand froze.
The boy did not die in the end, not because he begged for mercy quickly, but because Zhang He saw the laboratory serial number tattooed on his naked body.
EGS—12457521, named Han Xing.
This is the experimental product of Chen Yuehui's laboratory, and the EGS in front is the abbreviation of Chen Yuehui.
Because of the relationship between his client Zhao Heze and Chen Yuehui, Zhang He could easily recognize this—it was the real thing.
Zhang He subconsciously looked at the experimental subject carefully.
Zhao Heze showed him the photos before he set off. Chen Yuehui did bring an experimental subject to the endless forest, but the photo of the experimental subject was only a three-month-old child, but now this one is at least a teenager.
Although some experimental subjects were injected with growth hormone to stimulate growth, the stimulation process was not so fast, and the growth rate of this experimental subject obviously had nothing to do with growth hormone.
And the little boy who was sized up shrank even more.
Zhang He hesitated for a moment, then cut the little boy's arm with the blade held between his fingertips.
Faintly visible flesh and crimson color.
Zhang He heaved a sigh of relief and completely believed that this was the experimental subject—he had encountered several humanoid monsters dripping with slime before, so he naturally knew how to tell them apart.
Because Zhang He had an extra oil bottle, he didn't wander around. Instead, he sat down, took out solid fuel to keep warm, and then asked the experimental subject.
"Who did you come with, what about the others? What did you meet here?"
The question Zhang He asked was very simple, but the subject seemed to half-understand it, and even covered his stomach aggrievedly.
Zhang He took out the nutrient solution from his pocket, shook it in mid-air, and the hooked Han Xing looked at it eagerly, and said: "You can eat after answering the questions."
Han Xing licked his lips, and said intermittently: "Chen Yuehui, Dad, went to find Shushu, Harry's father, died, Han Xing was very hungry, Han Xing came out to find food, and will go back later, Chen Yuehui's father can't see Han Xing , will be angry."
Zhang He sneered.
"You call Chen Yuehui Dad? You are just his experimental subject. Those pharmacists will do anything for the experiment."
Han Xing frowned, and seemed unhappy and said, "He is my father."
Zhang He ignored him, but was thinking about Harry.
Harry, he also heard from Zhao Heze.
Harry is Chen Yuehui's pharmacist apprentice. Zhang He remembers that the Harry Zhao Heze said was a low-level pharmacist apprentice with a cowardly personality who followed Chen Yuehui's lead. Desperate, it is estimated that he will not be able to independently make a potion of his own in this life.
How could Chen Yuehui bring Harry out?
It's not that Zhang He looked down on Harry, it's just that he understands human nature too well. Chen Yuehui is a typical profit-seeking pharmacist. Zhang He couldn't think of anything about Harry that Chen Yuehui could "picture".
"You said you want to go back, can you find the way back?" Zhang He asked, "Can you walk through here without being confused?"
Han Xing hugged the nutrient solution and licked it in small sips, with a proud expression on his face: "Han Xing is fine, Han Xing was born here."
Zhang He asked suspiciously: "How do you walk through here? Can you see other people in the woods?"
Just when Zhang He asked this question, Han Xing suddenly changed his face.
"I won't tell you, Dad won't let me tell others." As he said that, Han Xing suddenly jumped into the grass next to him. Zhang He was startled, he didn't hold on firmly, and watched Han Xing jump into a bush of weeds, and then disappeared gone.
"Fuck." On Zhang He's face, there was an irritability and fierceness that did not agree with his appearance, and he murmured, "What the hell is this?"
Chen Yuehui's experimental body can actually walk through the grass in the endless forest?
These pharmacists always come up with things that people can't understand!
