The end of the world: mountain and sea disasters

In the next few days, Yu Ke was busy with daily work and exercise.

Regular water quality testing of the Jinghu tributaries, the recovery status of the vine jungle and mushroom communities after the cold wave, and the reproduction and living conditions of the horned deer herd all required him to collect data in all aspects.

On the contrary, I haven’t seen Shadow Moon Leopard for a long time.

Yu Ke guessed that it should be clearing out the remaining aberrant beasts in Jinghu Forest.

Although Pandora was successfully suppressed and contained by the Disaster Prevention Bureau, the aberration will not return to its original state because of its disappearance. It is still causing damage to the environment of Jinghu Forest and needs to be cleaned up in time.

That night, Yu Ke returned from Jinghu Forest riding a frightened deer and received a call from Ye Yingtong.

The farm's life-saving grace made the two naturally establish a connection.

Yu Ke had entrusted Ye Yingtong to help collect information about the forest spirit two days ago, and this was also a test for him to see how far she could go with her abilities.

"Well, just send the information to my mailbox. Thanks to your help this time, how is your recovery recently?"

Turning over and landing, Yu Ke carried the wind chime from the front of the deer saddle back to the ground, watched it running towards the stairs outside the tower like a joy, patted the frightened deer on its neck, and signaled it to rest on its own, and then asked about Ye Yingtong. Condition.

"Without the interruption of the red-faced monster, I will recover mentally after a few days of sleep, but my body is still a little tired."

Ye Yingtong's voice sounded full of energy, not like someone recovering from a serious illness.

After hanging up the phone, Yu Ke checked the situation in the forest patrol camp as usual and returned to the tower after confirming that there were no omissions.

The wind chime was whirling at the door, and its four little paws kept stepping on the carpet, wiping away the dust in the forest.

With the meat of various ferocious beasts fed by Yu Ke, coupled with the special environment of Jinghu Forest, the wind chime has long lost its sluggish state when it was first delivered. Its brown-red fur is shiny and its body is getting stronger.

Pushing open the door, he picked up the wind chime and walked into the bathroom. He gave it a bath first, then put the pre-cut vicious beast meat strips into its food bowl, then put on his loose pajamas and cooked himself a fried rice filled with egg and meat. fried rice.

"This is the Danhang City Meteorological Observatory. After the continuous sunny weather, the Danhang area will usher in a week of cooling rain and snow. There will be a moderate snow tonight. Please keep warm and prevent moisture."

The latest weather forecast came from his mobile phone. Yu Ke had already expected it. On the way back to the camp, he noticed that the sky was gloomy.

After all, it is the depth of winter, and it is normal for rain, snow and cooling to occur.

He lit up the stove in the house, and the warm firelight quickly attracted the attention of the wind chime. He squinted and squatted in front of the stove in confusion. For this reason, Yu Ke specially closed the stove door, fearing that the little guy would put his claws in out of curiosity.

He sat down in front of the computer with a big bowl of fried rice and opened the email from Ye Yingtong. It contained a lot of graphic and textual information about the forest spirit.

Compared with the fragmented information on the Internet, Ye Yingtong, who is backed by Danhang University, can undoubtedly access more comprehensive information.

Dragging the mouse wheel, Yu Ke quickly discovered a lot of valuable information.

First of all, legends about forest spirits are not limited to the past hundred years. The existing written records can be traced back to thousands of years ago. In the Danhang area at that time, there was a folk story about a woman with antlers first born who rescued people who were lost in the forest. The deeds of the person.

Secondly, from the information found by Ye Yingtong, Yu Ke discovered that whenever a disaster occurs in Jinghu Forest, forest spirits will appear in various ways to protect the forest. This is obviously in line with the recent Pandora incident. Things that happened.

Finally, this is something Yu Ke is more concerned about.

About two hundred years ago, there was a strange phenomenon in the Jinghu Forest area. The county annals at that time recorded that there were crows gathering in the forest and the howling of ghosts and wolves continued for a long time. However, after that for two hundred years, the forest spirits seemed to never appear again. Pass.

Obviously, there is a high probability that the forest spirit has encountered some disaster, otherwise it would not be possible that what appears in the Mirror Lake Forest is just a group of light, and defeating the aberrations infected by Pandora does not require the power of the Shadow Moon Leopard and Yu Ke.

"Forest spirits. It seems that various extraordinary creatures have long existed in this world, but they only appeared in front of the world one after another until the era of cataclysm came."

Leaning against the wicker chair, Yu Ke took a sip of soda and thought about the origin of the forest spirit.

Since time travel, he has either actively or passively accepted a large amount of information about the coming era of cataclysm.

So far, countries around the world have been arguing endlessly about the reasons for the coming of the Cataclysm Era and the origins of the world's changes. The arguments are all kinds of weird, and among them is the discussion about the gods of the past.

Since forest spirits exist, what about other gods?

Are they as powerful as the legends, or are they just artistic processing performed by the people at that time after seeing supernatural phenomena. In fact, those so-called "gods" were actually extraordinary beings in the society at that time.

One thing is certain, extraordinary beings existed in this world thousands of years ago, but there was no cataclysm at that time. There was a barrier between them and the world of ordinary people, so they did not interfere with each other.

However, the Age of Cataclysm actually broke this boundary.

Everything in the world has been given the opportunity to evolve to a higher level, and even the world itself seems to be undergoing some indescribable changes.

While thinking, Yu Ke heard a noise next to him. Wind chimes jumped on his legs and he stared at the egg fried rice that he had not finished yet.

"This is not for you to eat."

Holding the wind chime in his left hand, Yu Ke rubbed the fluffy fur on its neck and chest while eating fried rice.

The wind chime is different from other two-tailed leopards. The hair around the neck grows particularly vigorously and feels very good to the touch.

After eating, it started to snow outside the window.

The temperature inside the tower was always maintained at a very comfortable level due to the heat emitted by the stove. Yu Ke let the wind chimes run around and play in the room, while he passed the time watching popular variety shows or film and television dramas.

He recently discovered that one advantage of traveling to this world is that he has never seen many classic movies and TV series, and each one is very novel to him, an "old antique".

Therefore, the period of free time before going to bed every day is Yu Ke's rest time to appreciate these movies and TV series.

But things might be a little different tonight.

Yu Ke, who had just watched an episode of a suspense drama, got up to get potato chips and shrimp crackers. When he walked to the window, the mark on his right arm suddenly became hot.

This was an unprecedented phenomenon. Yu Ke rolled up his sleeves in surprise. The mark of the gift of the forest shone faintly. He raised his eyes and looked out the window and found a group of fluorescent green light flickering in the forest not far away.

Is it finally here?

Yu Ke had speculated earlier that this mark was not only a gift from the forest spirit, but also a communication channel between him and the forest spirit.

The Pandora incident allowed him to be recognized by the forest spirits and become a partner similar to that of the Shadow Moon Leopard.

Tonight, the forest spirit found the patrol camp and triggered the mark, which was obviously a signal for action.

Yu Ke was not going to refuse.

As a ranger hunter, there is no harm in establishing a good relationship with the forest spirits that protect Jinghu Forest.

What's more important is that Senling is not a guy who likes "free prostitution".

In fact, on the contrary, it rewards those who do things for it.

Last time it was a mark containing majestic natural energy, what will it be this time?

"Wind Chime, you stay here to look after the house, I have to go out."

After taking off his pajamas and changing into the Abyssal Whale combat uniform that he hadn't worn for a few days, Yu Ke shouldered the Leviathan ax and held the black thorn bow and arrow. After giving an explanation, he picked up his helmet and walked out of the tower quickly.

Suddenly leaving the warm room, the wind and snow hit my face.

Taking a long breath, Yu Ke felt excited. Although a peaceful and quiet life made him feel comfortable, hunting and fighting made him deeply aware of his own existence and powerful vitality.

After blowing a whistle, the Scary-Antlered Deer soon appeared under the tower. Yu Ke put on his helmet and rode the Scary-Antlered Deer and left the forest patrol camp.

The fluorescent green light group with the will of the forest spirit was already waiting outside.

No unnecessary communication is needed. The light group leads the way, and Yu Ke follows closely behind, deep into the Jinghu Forest.

Yu Ke turned on the newly updated camera on his left shoulder and activated the positioning function of his watch to ensure that he would not get lost on his return trip.

Although it was snowing in the forest, for Yu Ke and Jinghorn Deer who had experienced the cold wave, this level of snow would not have any impact on their actions.

About half an hour later, Yu Ke noticed a fluorescent green light group stopping in the forest ahead, and immediately patted the deer saddle.

This was the code for recent practice between him and the frightened deer. Patting the deer's saddle meant slowing down, and the left side of the neck meant turning left. Vice versa, whistling meant calling, and pinching both sides of the belly meant speeding up.

Bow and arrow were bent, and Yu Ke quickly caught the unusual noise coming from the forest ahead.

The frightened deer stepped over the bushes, and the helmet's built-in lighting was projected over it, directly illuminating a monster that looked like an ostrich doubled in size. It was covered in scales and had six deformed legs.

At this time, it was lowering its head to devour a lizard. Its two vestigial and bloated wings spread out from time to time. They were full of disgusting tumors. Maybe it noticed the light and suddenly turned around the two wings growing on the same dark red neck. The twisted head on.

The filthy flesh and blood slipped from its protruding beak, and the staggered sharp teeth collided, making a "rattling~" sound.

The demise of Pandora caused these aberrant monsters to completely lose their goals and become puppets completely captured by bloodthirsty desire. They madly attacked the monsters in the forest and at the same time infected the viruses they carried.

Seeing this scene, Yu Ke raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

I originally thought that the forest spirit had discovered a special existence similar to the Qishui Monkey King, so he wanted to take action, maybe teaming up with the Shadow Moon Leopard to fight against the enemy. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a deformed beast of this level.

After running in the forest for half an hour, the result was just this kind of "low-level monster", which I'm afraid it doesn't even recognize the characteristics of a trophy.

Without any hesitation, Yu Ke raised his hand and fired two arrows. He didn't even give the aberrant beast a chance to turn around and charge. He directly shot its two heads and nailed it to the spot.

New equipment has been replaced, plus the increase brought by traits.

Yu Ke's strength has long been different from that of him in the Pandora incident.

"Huh, it's a good start. At least the cooperation is continuing."

Turning his head to look at the fluorescent-green light cluster hovering above the corpse, spreading light cyan energy, Yu Ke glanced at his watch and wondered whether to return to the camp. It was now ten o'clock in the evening, and he could still have a good sleep if he went back.

Just as Yu Ke was about to express his thoughts about returning to the forest spirit, he found that the forest spirit that had completed the body purification suddenly rose to a height of more than ten meters, releasing a faint light, as if it was guiding a certain existence.

Is there a follow-up?

Realizing that the matter was not over yet, Yu Ke looked around and soon noticed a vicious beast approaching among the branches on the upper right.

Subconsciously looking up, he saw the long-lost Shadow Moon Leopard appearing from a high place, but Yu Ke's attention at this time was focused on the series of aberrant beast heads strung with vines in its mouth.

Under the illumination of the light, Yu Ke glanced briefly and saw nearly ten deformed monster heads hanging among the branches. Not to mention the strange shapes, there were vines wrapped around the outside, and the ends were bitten by the Shadow Moon Leopard.

He hadn't seen the Shadow Moon Leopard during this period of time. Yu Ke guessed that it had not returned to the outskirts of Mirror Lake Forest and was probably assisting the forest spirit in cleaning up the aberrant beasts. However, the latter's behavior of collecting heads still surprised him.

The information provided by the Forestry Protection Bureau has never mentioned that the Shadow Moon Leopard has this hobby, and can a leopard use vines to tie the head of an aberrant beast?

Yu Ke's confusion was quickly answered.

The Shadow Moon Leopard, who was guided here by the forest spirit, jumped down and easily cut off the neck of the deformed monster with its sharp claws. Then, the vines connected to the head grew on their own under the guidance of light cyan energy and wrapped around the fresh deformed beast. head.

"Are you collecting the heads of aberrant beasts?"

Looking up at the fluorescent green light group, Yu Ke's expression became more and more surprised.

Before Yu Ke could figure out what was going on, the forest spirit moved forward again. The Shadow Moon Leopard tilted its head and glanced at him, raised its nose and sniffed, as if to confirm something, and then roared for him to follow.

There will be more later
