I Am God!

Forest of the full moon.

This jungle is like a dark prison, towering giant trees are everywhere, and the huge and luxuriant canopy blocks the sky from the air, and walking in it sometimes makes it difficult to distinguish day from night.

Moreover, this prison is not safe yet. Terrible jungle killers hide everywhere in the darkness, hunting and killing everything that passes here. Even Helfas is always tense and cautious.

Every being here is a hunter.

At the same time, it is also prey.

Helfas didn't know how long he walked, to be precise, he didn't know how long he got lost inside.

He felt physically and mentally exhausted, dizzy, as if walking in purgatory.

The dampness of the jungle came in.

It was obviously very humid, but it was as hot as a stove.

He even had a feeling that he was stinking and rotting.

"ha……"

"Whirring whirring……"

Helfas hunched over, gasping for breath.

The wounds and scabs on his body can be seen through the torn clothes. Even if they have initially healed, at least there is no bloody flesh, but they still look very scary.

It was a battle with a weird one, which was left on him by the other party.

Said it was a fight, but actually comforted himself a bit.

in the dark.

He didn't even see the opponent's appearance clearly, he only saw a terrifying sharp claw reaching down from the sky to grab him. Even though he summoned the worm form of the biphasic devil worm in a hurry, he still suffered to hit hard.

If it wasn't for escaping with the help of the narrow and complex terrain in the jungle, the tree-shaped biphasic monster tightly wrapped his wound and maintained his life.

He probably died in that jungle long ago.

He narrowly escaped death, and finally recognized his position in this jungle, and slipped him out of his self-confident dream of two strange successful seals.

Being able to successfully seal Weird twice was not because of how strong he was.

It was because both times someone gave him enough information to let him know all the weaknesses of the other party.

when walking in the dark.

When the body becomes weak, when oneself is on the verge of death.

People's self-confidence and many things they believe in will become extremely fragile.

Helfas didn't even have the strength to walk, but he was supported by inertia. He felt that there were so many shadows in the jungle that he couldn't see clearly, and a monster might rush out at any time and kill him easily.

While he was looking for a way out in a daze, all kinds of distracting thoughts kept coming to his mind, criticizing his previous thoughts.

"The seal is weird, do you have that qualification?"

"You are just a lucky one who got a ritual by accident."

"How terrible those weirdnesses are, don't you have points for yourself?"

"During the night of the full moon, didn't you understand what the world was like?"

"You are still running around in a daze, what exactly do you want to do, and what have you accomplished?"

Meanwhile, he was still talking to himself.

"I didn't want to seal all the weirdness, I just took one step at a time."

"I just want to get more power."

"I just……"

He even learned the peasant's language.

"Yes, I... I just don't want to obey the rules of this world."

By the end, the voice was getting muffled.

Even he wasn't sure what he wanted to do.

Because, he doesn't even know who he is, and how can he know what he really wants to do deep down in his heart.

The moment you get out of the jungle.

When the sun shone on him, he knelt directly on the ground.

His eyes gradually became familiar with the light. Helfas let out a long breath when he saw the tribal herdsmen driving the dragon beasts on the flat land and beside the river in the distance.

"ah!"

He bent down hard and rubbed his face.

"ha……"

"Finally came out."

——

He exchanged some boiled poultry eggs with the shepherd who was driving the velvet dragon, and he followed the shepherd back to the other party's tribe while eating.

Helfas looks a bit vicissitudes. His hair can be cut little by little with the knife made by the Golden Tribe into the best short hair. cleaning.

But the beard is a bit difficult, and the clothes on his body have become tattered, and he looks no different from a savage, and he can no longer see the aura beyond this era.

Now he is perfectly integrated into this era.

Even so, the shepherd recognized his identity at a glance.

The black hair and eyes are too conspicuous.

The shepherd pointed at him and yelled.

"Black-haired... black-haired person."

"I've heard of you. The merchant mentioned your name when he came."

"You are very powerful and have defeated the terrible monster."

"I've also heard stories about the new peasant tribe and you. It is said that you defeated the human face tree, that terrible monster that destroyed the old peasant tribe."

The shepherd respected Helfas very much. Not only did he scream exaggeratedly when he recognized him, he even refused to pay Helfas to eat eggs.

"You have done a lot of good things, and you are very powerful. I admire you very much. I will treat you to eat."

"Of course I know you."

"Otherwise, why would I take you back to the tribe directly?"

Helfas didn't expect that he had become so famous among the dragon tribes in this area without knowing it, and the tribes far away from the full moon forest knew him.

Come to think of it, this should be the credit of the businessman.

It made him feel a little embarrassed, he felt that he was boasted too much, and he didn't seem to be doing much.

Especially since he still looks so embarrassed at the moment.

However, Helfas was very happy when he heard the news about the merchant and the farmer.

It has been half a year since I left that beautiful oil-bread farm, and it was even more than a year since I parted from the merchant.

He has not met the two of them for a very long time, and he has been going around between various tribes and jungles, spending most of the time on the road, chasing the so-called weird rumors, this is the first time he knows the two people the person's recent condition.

Hearing the familiar name, Helfas quickly asked, "Has the merchant been to your tribe?"

The bearded man has a new name, which is called the merchant, and the other party told Helfas when they parted.

But a farmer is still a farmer.

The shepherd waved a whip in his hand, was shirtless and danced and said, while showing some objects to Helfas.

"The merchant brought people here and brought many things, including bone needles, spinning wheels, and bone shuttles, as well as beautiful pottery bowls and vases with patterns on them. Our leader also bought their necklaces. "

"They exchanged a lot of cloth from us, as well as a few female velvet dragon beasts."

"Their stuff was good, so we gave him the best too."

The shepherd's words are very simple, with the sincerity of people in this era.

Helfas said happily: "It seems that everything is going well, and there are no problems on the road."

The shepherd was also impressed: "It's really amazing that they dare to come over such a long distance."

This is the best news that Helfas has heard recently.

It also comforted him.

on the way.

Helfas made a sound and helped drive the herd away.

Before I knew it, I came to a gathering place of dragon people, and what I saw were muddy houses with wooden roofs.

Women can be seen gathering together, skillfully using spinning wheels and waist machines, and some people are cooking in front of the stove outside the house.

This is a large tribe, the population is estimated to be very close to the limit of a thousand people, and it is also the tribe closest to the Full Moon Forest.

Because they are good at weaving, they are also called the weaving tribe by the dragon people in the land of the full moon.

Therefore, it can be seen that the people of the tribe wear a high proportion of commoner clothes, instead of mostly using animal skins like other tribes.

Helfas liked this prosperous scene very much, he seemed to feel something special from this tribe.

perhaps.

This is civilization!

Walking among the houses of the tribe, Helfas saw a set of round-neck t-shirts hanging out, so he asked the person at the door.

"Can you sell your clothes to me?"

"I'll use this instead."

He took out a folded dragon beast hide from the squashed pannier, which came from a ferocious dragon beast, which was also very rare for the tribe.

The other party didn't think about it for long, and the deal went smoothly.

I found a place to clean it up, bandaged the wound, and put on new clothes.

Then he didn't stop, and he habitually started his routine for so long.

Every time Helfas went to a tribe or met a person, he would ask that iconic sentence.

"Is there anything weird around you, or have you heard of anything weird?"

Helfas has been collecting weird information all the time, and he has recorded several cloth scrolls, but most of these materials only have a name or a code name.

There are still a few tribes and people who have fully understood the weirdness of the characteristics of the biphasic devil worm and the human-faced tree, and who dare to understand their characteristics and try to use all their extraordinary powers.

Behind every weirdness whose strength and characteristics are fully known is a bloody price, and there are countless sacrifices and sacrifices beyond courage.

Propagated by the businessman, Helfas was not rejected by the Weaving Tribe, and quickly integrated into it.

even.

Many people in the tribe even ran over to see the legendary figure Helfas. Men, women, and children surrounded Helfas tightly, as if they were looking at some rare animal.

Helfas was a little unaccustomed to it, but compared to this, at least it was much better than those situations where he would run away in fear as soon as he saw himself.

A person has been alone for too long, and he still wants to hear more people's voices and talk to people.

Perhaps, this is also part of the reason why he collects information about weirdness everywhere!

"Weird, who dares to get in touch with those existences!"

"I heard..."

"Lately there's been rumors of weird horned haunts in the east."

"..."

People in the tribe talk in a hurry, and sometimes they ask questions and answers, and the topic gets off topic.

Except for a few people, most people lack even the ability to clearly express a paragraph of meaning in words, and speech must be accompanied by gestures.

If it weren't for Helfas's special ability, it would be difficult to even understand what they were saying.

Helfas didn't get much complete information about the weirdness, most of them were people who had seen some weird things, heard stories and rumors, some of which were true or false, with speculation.

Helfas knows what should be recorded and what should not be recorded by listening to his heart.

The crowd dispersed, and he slowly closed the scroll.

"well!"

"There is no useful information, and there are not even a few who have actually seen it."

Thinking about it, there are not many people who really encounter weirdness and can come back alive.

at last.

Coming to this tribe, the biggest gain and happiest thing for Helfas was that he got two new sets of clothes.

In addition to the one on the body, the other is also patterned, which is sewn on carefully and closely with needles.

Of course, Helfas was reluctant to wear it, so he put it at the bottom of his back basket and wrapped it with leaves.

He remembered the words of the merchant.

"People always want to be able to dress nicely."

Even if he can't use it temporarily, he still hopes to have a better set of clothes.

I hope that one day, I can wear it happily and appear in front of people.

Although he didn't get any weird information, these gains also made Helfas very happy, and he even faintly surpassed him in his heart.

In addition to these.

He can also temporarily live in a house, which is probably the best place he has lived in in a long time.

in the house.

He lay on his side on the bed, afraid of touching the wound on his back.

But even so, the feeling of having a bed still made him feel comfortable.

He curled up in a ball on the bed, and even had the feeling that he wanted to fall asleep like this and sleep comfortably all the time.

Never go outside again, run around in the jungles and wildernesses, face those horrible weirdnesses.

But it was still dark, and it was still bright outside.

He got up and walked around the room, and suddenly saw a painting on the wall, but when he looked carefully, he found that it was a picture carved on a stone.

"map?"

"Whose house does this house belong to, and where is the map drawn?"

Helfas seldom sees maps, only people like him can understand how precious a map is.

He came outside and found a person to ask.

The tribe man responded.

"There is no one left, and he left a month ago."

"This is a picture of going to the temple. It should be prepared when they set off."

Helfas's original movements stopped immediately, and he came back to his senses with some surprise.

"What?"

"Temple?"

Helfas actually heard the word God for the first time. He didn't know what the syllables of this pronunciation meant. He really understood its meaning through the ability to read the other person's heart.

But I don't know why, the moment I heard this word, another word with the same meaning immediately appeared in my mind.

Just like the various other words that popped up in his mind before.

Helfas hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What temple?"

The other party said: "A long time ago, there was a legend that someone saw a temple in the depths of the Full Moon Forest, which enshrined a great god."

"Every month, some people in the tribe leave the tribe."

"And many of them will go to find the legendary temple, to find the great god."

Helfas understood.

It is said to be leaving, but it is actually expulsion.

Because once a tribe exceeds a thousand people, the possibility of a large population gathering to attract powerful monsters is higher, so each tribe is controlling the population of its own tribe.

Elderly people, people who are sick, or those who leave voluntarily and involuntarily for various other reasons must leave at this time.

Some started wandering, just like the previous merchants.

Some reorganized new tribes, just like the current farmer tribe.

The Zhi tribe has another tradition.

The other party didn't know where he heard it from, and he was talking to Helfas endlessly.

"I heard that gods are omnipotent, and even this world was created by gods."

"..."

Helfas still couldn't believe it, he asked.

"god?"

"Is there really a god in this world?"

The other party also hesitated: "I listened to what they said."

Helfas: "Where is the temple?"

The other party said: "The deepest part of the full moon forest."

Helfas opened his mouth wide and looked back at the terrifying jungle.

The sunless darkness from which he had just narrowly escaped death.

——

He said he wanted to lie in bed and have a good sleep, but at night, Helfas couldn't fall asleep anyway.

He sat alone at the door, doing nothing, just staring blankly.

He speaks alone.

"Are you going?"

"It's dangerous, it's really going to die."

After a while, he talked to himself again.

"Death doesn't matter, the key is what you want to do, have you figured it out, can you find the result in the end?"

"Wouldn't it be better to just stay in peace and live comfortably like this?"

"Is it really so important who you are?"

Maybe it's because the road is too tired and too hard.

Perhaps it was because no matter how hard he searched, he just seemed to be wandering in place. The world was so vast and boundless, and he seemed unable to get out of it all his life.

He seemed to have somewhat forgotten his original intention of collecting weird information, and he was also confused about the reason why he set out in the first place.

"The black-haired man!"

Suddenly, a child appeared and yelled at him, as if trying to startle him.

Helfas's thoughts were interrupted, and he didn't think much about it, he just thought it was a child being naughty.

He stretched out his hand and took out an oiled breadfruit from the side, and asked the child, "Want to eat it?"

Unexpectedly, the child also took out one: "I have it too, so I don't want yours."

Helfas: "You too?"

"Where did it come from?"

The child said with a natural expression: "When the businessman came here before, he also brought a lot of this kind of fruit. It is said that a farmer tribe has a lot of this kind of fruit."

Helfas was stunned, the delicacies and precious things he thought were no longer unique.

However, he was not too disappointed.

He looked at the oiled breadfruit in the child's hand, and compared it to the one in his own.

Then.

I couldn't help laughing.

He suddenly felt some changes brought about by himself, right in front of his eyes, and he could see it so clearly.

Nothing spectacular, nothing great.

It's just a child from another tribe who ate a piece of breadfruit.

That's all.

The child moved closer, looking at Helfas curiously.

He then asked: "I heard that you defeated two very powerful monsters, is it true?"

Helfas said: "It's not that powerful, but it is indeed a dangerous weirdness for us."

The child asked what the weirdness was like, how scary it was.

Helfas said some insignificant details, and just like that, it also attracted many children from the tribe.

And there are more and more, and finally the front of the house is surrounded by a huge black area.

It was also the first time they heard that someone dared to confront Weird, and this person was right in front of them, all of them were so surprised that their mouths opened wide.

But it didn't take long before someone came over and called them back.

The children left reluctantly.

While running, jumping, and talking about what he just heard.

"Human-face tree, it's a weird one with many human faces, it eats people!"

"Turn people into mummy and eat them."

"very scary."

And Helfas watched them silently.

Back in the house, he looked up at the map engraved on the wall.

"God?"

"What exactly is in the temple, and will it record anything?"

"What kind of existence can build a temple?"

"Could it be related to that pillar?"

Helfas stared at every detail of the map, and he could feel that the person who drew it was very careful. The other person should really believe in the existence of gods, and he wanted to see the gods very strongly.

And he may have different ideas from the person who engraved this map, but the mood of wanting to find the answer is similar.

Helfas stepped forward.

Rubbing the map on the wall little by little, without missing any details.

next.

He was going to go into the dark jungle again, to face those horrible weirdnesses.

Helfas didn't expect everything there could bring him, he only expected that he could find an answer.

Even if you find the temple in the end, you just find an answer to come to this world.

Even on this road, it is enough to find a reason to keep going.
