Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 1439 Eighty-One. Forest

  The never-withered lush sea of ​​trees stretches like an oasis on the barren land.

  The Spine of the World, which is only faintly visible when there is no fog, blocks most of the southward cold currents for the barren land. At least compared to the mainland of the main family, the existence that will be affected by the wind and snow will not be affected by the wind and snow for the time being.

  Plant habitats are dotted in this piece of land that seems to be "eternal spring in all seasons". Dark lush foliage shades the sky, forming a natural canopy from prying eyes.

  The surrounding weirdos have no deep taboo on plant habitats—they have no intention of coming into contact with these radical plants, and more importantly, they get no benefit from killing the plants.

   On this day, a long-lost visitor came to the Plant Habitat. He wore a cloak to block the wind and dust, and the hood he lifted before entering the forest revealed black hair of the same origin as the darkness, walking into the strange forbidden land like a dark elf returning home.

  The peripheral trees are lifeless, but the deeper you go, the animated trees shake their branches, welcoming the visit of the figure holding an oil lamp and stepping on thick fallen leaves.

  For Lu Li, the only hidden danger in the plant habitat is that he needs to keep his head down all the time to avoid the bushes and stumbling roots along the way.

  Plant Habitat The treant who came to pick up Lu Li spread his palms and carried him into the depths of the forest.

   Luminescent grasses dotted the dark forest like stars, and along the trail, Lu Li was brought to the tree house village.

  He received a warm welcome here, and the tree people presented brightly colored fruits and naturally fermented fruit wine, and he was not alienated by the loss of the tree whisperer.

  They regretted Lu Li's loss of the cursed title, and also praised Lu Li's dedication to this world.

  The tree of Linna told Lu Li that the spirits of the ancestors knew about Lu Li's sacrifice, and wished that what Lu Li lost would eventually come back.

Lu Li was a guest at the plant habitat for a short time, and wandered around with the tree people to visit the current habitat—there are still only a few dozen tree people, and they don’t do much for this forest. What makes the plant habitat alive is the planted fluorescent grass—they make the forest feel alive. The forest is no longer lifeless, and the darkness is no longer the eternal melody of this place.

   On the second day, Lu Li bid farewell to the plant habitat and went to the second destination of the trip: the eternal forest.

  If the plant habitat represents the adaptation of plants, the eternal forest represents another kind—the reproduction of plants.

  Those straight and tall, vast forests composed mainly of birch and coniferous trees do not see the light of day. It is also an incomparable behemoth of plant habitats - a forest that occupies the size of a principality in the old days.

   Don't underestimate the Eternal Forest just because it's superficially peaceful—who knows who would be the survivors of throwing the swamp into the Eternal Forest?

  Like the Plant Habitat, there are no weird desires in the Everforest, only deadly dangers.

  The Mushroom People group fits well with the Eternal Forest. The Eternal Forest provides a stable, dark, humid environment free of natural enemies, and the Mushroommen bring residents to the Eternal Forest—they themselves.

  Eternal Forest is not satisfied with this, it wants the people in the forest to have diversity. Lu Li told it that there will be more of these in the future.

  Lu Li is like an adventurer who broke into the forest, searching for those strange places.

  He found the human beings who stayed in the real Paradise Valley, and also found the survivors who chose to leave with them and gave up halfway to settle by the lake, as well as the "Paradise Valley", which is praised by poetry and still makes people yearn for.

  Lu Li stood at the edge of the forest, looking at the peaceful forest village from a distance.

   "Why don't you go and have a look..."

  A voice seemed to be asking Lu Li.

   Lu Li kept quiet, and retreated into the bushes.

  Like the neck of a drowned man, he will not indulge in the falsehood of self-deception.

  The third and final one is the Weird Forest.

   Compared to Plant Habitat and Everforest, Weird Jungle is a completely different extreme. In a way, it's more like a filthy sewer—the forest is its vehicle, but not its life.

  Looking up at the terrifying giant tree that seems to go deep into the clouds and cover the sky. To think blasphemously, a single tree can allow man to build the largest wooden boat ever built.

   Lu Li who came to the weird jungle was not greeted, but he was not attacked either. The weird dense forest remembered that he had pulled out the nails driven into his body for the forest, or that he hadn't woken up after sleeping soundly that day.

  Lu Li carried an oil lamp, spreading light, walking on the rotten black soil, following the ruins of the cabin in the forest, like ants in the dense forest, walking forward in the extremely ancient and huge dark forest.

  Strange Mist cannot set foot in the forest, but fatigue and hunger will. Any outsider might be attacked by the forest, so Lu Li couldn't summon the merchants, so he could only eat some canned food that he carried with him.

  Grilled tater mycelium and beef flavored slugs. These are sold to Old Sewers and some weird tribes.

   The guy who prepared the stomach pouches took the wrong can. But on purpose...because there was a note on the can:

  【Remember to give some feedback after eating】

  The inscription is a doll grimacing.

   Claire, who has caused trouble, seems to have forgotten that the eldest sister has no fingers on her head and can't read.

  Lu Li did not return the cans. Since Claire was playing a prank, it meant that Lu Li had no problem eating these foods.

  Use the short dagger that you carry to cut open the can, and the fat floating on the minced meat emits rainbow-like colors under the oil lamp. I tasted two cans one after another. The former tasted like Flammulina velutipes, while the latter tasted like a beef solution melted by spider venom. Except for itself, there was no flavor of condiments.

  Everyone knows it's a stupid idea to sprinkle seasoning on cans sold to weirdos.

  Lu Li calmly ate two lumps of indescribable canned food, like eating two **** of tasteless wet mud, stuffed the empty can into the open mouth of his stomach, and continued to set off.

  Although the taste is not good, the canned food provides everything except the satisfaction of eating itself, and it seems that even fatigue has been reduced a lot.

  The ruins of the cabin in the forest silently told the traces left by Lu Li, and at the same time showed him the direction leading to the depths of the forest.

As night fell, Lu Li had no choice but to stop. He threw a blanket on the natural depression formed by the knots and roots of a terrifying giant tree, filled the oil lamp with fuel, and then put the fluorite on the other side. sleep in clothes.

   There was nothing unusual, but the voice disturbed Lu Li. In this absolute silence, falling asleep became difficult. The breathing sound from the bulging chest cavity through the throat and nasal cavity seems to be riding the night wind, wandering under the sea of ​​trees. The dull sound of the beating heart, as if the forest woke up from a deep sleep.

  In the strange and chaotic dreamland, Lu Li woke up in a daze.

   There are still two hours before dawn.

  He didn't go back to sleep, took out a bottle of canned food and ate it in a hurry, packed his luggage, and stood up from the depression.

  Lu Li raised his head, his gaze bypassed the mottled wooden door standing between the roots of the knotted tree, and fell to the dark shadows surging in the depths of the dark forest.
