Chapter 378 Footprints
Jilan urged the spiritual boat to dock at the fastest speed.
He jumped down and once again stepped on the tidal flat of the Land of Gods.
But from the moment he landed, the night sky suddenly disappeared and was replaced by clear day.
As if in just a blink of an eye, the world changes.
Ji Lan raised his eyes and looked ahead, seeing only blue sky and white clouds, and the sky was clear. In the distance, it is not the dense forest scene, but a grassland with no edge.
The wind blew, and the knee-high grass swayed and rustled in the wind. It gives people a lonely, empty and inexplicable feeling.
"Unknown changes have occurred in the 'lower' area..."
Gilan murmured.
By studying with Mrs. McCullagh, he also learned more about the Land of Gods.
The area he just landed in belongs to the boundary of the "lower level" and is called the "twilight zone".
The Twilight Zone is not static.
It seems to keep changing as time goes by, with no rules and no repetitions.
Since ancient times, countless mystics have studied the Land of Gods, but they have been unable to conclude any laws about the "twilight zone".
Every visit to the Land of God will be a completely different journey.
Ji Lan took a deep breath and walked forward.
He tried to cross this silent grassland.
While walking, Gilan slowly closed his eyes, unfolded his gnosis, and tried his best to activate his spirituality.
Soon, just as teacher Parra said, Gilan felt an indescribable call, a kind of guidance, coming from four directions in the distance.
He knew that this was precisely because he was compatible with the four elements of the universe.
If you want to advance to level 5 "Brilliant", you must leave four "footprints" corresponding to the elephant in the "lower" area of the Land of Gods.
Jilan kept walking, closing his eyes and feeling.
There is warmth from the west, a feeling of moisture from the northwest, a breeze from the northeast, and a faint rumbling sound from the east.
He opened his eyes, picked the northeast direction, and headed straight that way.
'There should be a strong wind element there, and "mushrooms" mostly appear in places where wind elements gather... I can go there to look for this material, and leave a "footprint" first. . ’
Thinking about it, Jilan walked all the way on the quiet and empty grassland.
He did not encounter any strange creatures here.
Everything is so dead.
Following the guidance of the wind, Jilan trekked for a long time and finally reached another boundary.
Here is a vast desert!
However, the color of the desert is not yellow-brown, but a counterintuitive dark green.
Jilan stepped on the sand and his feet sank in unconsciously. He had to increase the intensity of lifting his feet in order to continue moving forward.
Looking down and taking a closer look, Jilan couldn't help but be surprised.
Because what gathers on the ground to form a desert does not seem to be ordinary gravel, but small and round "seeds".
‘Seed Desert? ’ Jilan was stunned.
Looking up, he saw how many seeds were needed to fill the vast dark green land into a "desert"...
But he soon felt relieved.
Because things in the "lower" area of the Land of Gods are difficult to view with common sense, it is full of absurdities and dreams.
Jilan withdrew his gaze and continued to move forward.
After roaming on foot for a long time, the originally unchanged dark green desert scene finally changed.
Jilan saw egg-shaped dandelions as huge as buildings floating in the air.
There is an invisible black core in the middle, with countless straight fiber vines supporting balls of umbrella-shaped white hair.
Jilan’s eyes narrowed.
Through the "player's" original ability "guidance prompt", he identified that this huge floating object was actually a living creature and belonged to the residents of Shenxiang.
They have a name, called "Aeolian mother".
Instead of provoking trouble, Gillan chose to stay quiet and move on at a steady pace.
Moving forward, the "seeds" on the ground began to sprout and bloom. The original desert ground became a vast white "blanket".
Moreover, there are dark green irregular columnar bodies growing here, ranging in size from big to small. The big ones are as tall as two or three stories, and the small ones are less than knee-high. But the shells of these strange columnar bodies are very shiny, hard, and have textures like turtle shells.
But what makes Ji Lan feel weird is that the shape of this columnar body actually looks a bit like a "cactus".
Because their surface is covered with "spikes".
It's just that these "spikes" are finger bones, and they can actually move!
Jilan held her breath and concentrated, walking quickly through this unpredictable "cactus" area.
But during this process, he actually saw a figure not far away, sitting under a huge "cactus" to rest.
The man was wearing a brown windbreaker, a beret and goggles, carrying a travel bag, and holding a big white dog in his hand.
"Hey, friend." The man also noticed Jilan's arrival, couldn't help but stood up and waved. "This way."
Gilan, however, stopped cautiously and did not step forward rashly.
His eyes narrowed and he used his spiritual vision to look directly.
The outline of the opponent's body exudes a dazzling blue light. He clearly belongs to the 5th level "Brilliant" level long-lived person, and his spirituality is water.
Jilan’s heart trembled.
He used the "Guidance Tip" again, and the next second, colorful words appeared in his eyes. Perhaps because the opponent's original level is higher, not much information is displayed.
Gilan learned from the description that the man's name was "Schnauzer" and the big white dog he was holding was named "Amos".
One person and one dog dreamed of visiting the land of gods, which seemed to have some unknown purpose.
Jilan exhaled and walked over calmly. As soon as he got close, the man extended his hand warmly.
“Hello friends, my name is ‘Schnauzer’, and I am a traveler who likes to explore and study the land of God.”
As he spoke, the man gestured to the big white dog at hand and introduced:
"This is my pet dog 'Amos'. Its gnosis is naturally very high. I like to take it with me. "Wandering in a dream"
"What about you, friend?"
The big white dog was squatting on the ground, looking up at Jilan, sticking out his tongue in a friendly manner. Wagging tail.
Jilan noticed that on the back of the dog's neck, under the lush white hair, there seemed to be a blood-colored mark with a pattern of a triangle and an inverted cross.
"My name is Vic Netmey."
Gillen said calmly.
"Go here to search for some mysterious materials."
This is a pseudonym he made up casually when he was a senior prohibition agent.
The origin of the person in front of him is unknown, and Ji Lan does not trust him, so he makes excuses.
"Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Vic."
Schnauzer laughed and sighed again:
"Toyalan, the hometown of God, is vast and boundless, even the 'lower level' No one has fully explored this area... It is not easy to meet other visitors here. "
"So it is rare for us to meet. What materials are you looking for? I should be able to help you.”
“No need.” Gillan decisively refused.
He always felt that this man was strangely enthusiastic, so he didn't plan to have too much contact with him.
"Mr. Schnauzer, I'm in a hurry, take my leave."
After that, Gilan passed over the person and the dog and left directly. During this process, he also remained vigilant at all times. Once the opponent acted rashly, Jilan would use "Psychic Advent" as quickly as possible to counterattack violently.
However, Schnauzer just sighed and watched him leave with his pet dog Amos squatting next to him.
After Jilan walked a certain distance, Schnauzer suddenly reminded loudly from behind:
"Mr. Vic, if you go further there will be a fork in the road. Don't go to the left. There are very dangerous residents of Shenxiang there. They will actively attack visitors! It is difficult for ordinary long-term residents to resist, and the mortality rate is extremely high!"
Gilan didn't look back or stop, he just narrowed his eyes.
Because the guidance of the wind he felt happened to be to the left...
A moment later.
Gilan stopped.
Sure enough, as Traveler Schnauzer said, there was a fork in the road ahead.
A huge sinkhole blocked the front, with a diameter of more than seven or eight hundred meters. It seemed to be a naturally formed collapsing vortex, bottomless.
Thus, two roads, left and right, emerged.
Jilan stood there and thought for a while.
‘Schnauzer said there is danger on the left...’
He suddenly chuckled.
‘Isn’t the danger gone? ’
Shaking his head, Gilan walked directly to the left road.
He is skeptical of Schnauzer's reminder, and he trusts his own intuition and judgment more.
After bypassing the sinkhole in this way, Gilan continued to move forward, and soon arrived at a place covered with white dandelions. As he walked, he could feel the furry sensation under his feet.
"We're here." Gilan murmured.
He noticed that there were many giant dandelions floating in the mid-air here, all of which were "Aeolian Mothers".
On the ground, there are moving mushrooms.
These mushrooms are huge in size, the smallest ones are as big as adult men, and the largest ones are four to five meters long. They have a pair of human-like legs with bulging muscles made of mycelium, making them quite strong.
Under the mushroom buds with different colors and patterns, there are identical faces that are twisted and painful.
Hollow and numb.
At first glance, it looks like a group of fat people wearing hats.
‘These are the “mushrooms”. ’
Jilan looked at the huge mushrooms wandering back and forth like people and thought to himself.
‘Don’t rush to take action now, wait here for a while and let the “footprints” form…’
He did not continue to move forward, but sat down and waited quietly.
The mushrooms didn't seem to notice him, they were still walking on their own, and everything was quiet.
Only the wind kept blowing, the white velvet on the ground formed pieces of "spray", and the "wind spores" in the mid-air floated slowly and leisurely.
If you ignore the absurdity and weirdness of the environment, this scene is quite beautiful.
But soon, Jilan realized something was wrong.
Because the dandelion "blankets" around him were all pointed at him at some point. The egg-shaped white velvets were like heads, staring at him with non-existent "eyes".
‘This environment is malicious to me...’
Jilan felt a chill in her heart, feeling this way for no reason.
