"Picking bones from reason and reality

After execution, screaming for the madness of this world

Wake up in a never-ending nightmare

A play program full of conspiracy

I will be your prisoner

Nothing but blood on your hands

Trapped in this paradise

I want you to bleed like me

So let me be your prisoner

Blood vessels are full of venom

Trapped in this paradise

I want you to bleed like me!"

In the early morning, a specially reinforced and modified off-road vehicle was galloping on the earth and rocky road.

The passionate heavy metal music is playing and singing endlessly. Vicci likes it very much, and Kiman doesn't hate it either. Zhu Peng is sitting alone in the spacious rear seat of the off-road vehicle. He is flipping through one weird legend after another about the crystal skull of the Sodaro Forest:

Some say it is a miracle of ancient civilization; some say it is a fake polished by modern craftsmanship, the biggest lie of this century; some say it is a divine object that saves the world from the fate of being destroyed before the end of the world...

Zhu Peng reads books very quickly, with dozens of lines at a glance, and he never forgets them after reading them. He almost never picks up a book after putting it down. Therefore, as time goes by, the books piled up beside him have become thick half a person tall.

"Kino, have you gained anything?" Kiman sat in the passenger seat and asked with a look.

"Most of the things written in these books are heard about, but in basic divisions, the crystal skull seems to be calculating, predicting, and the resurrection of the dead are the most powerful. Even legends must have relevant basis, and the inheritance of civilization of the exterminated Taiguli people is closely related to these three aspects." Zhu Peng closed all the books, closed his eyes slightly and raised his head, and began to sort out his thoughts in a comprehensive manner.

This aspect is best for wizards who major in virtual intelligence brains. At this moment, Zhu Peng seemed to be a terminal processor in the center of a huge database, abandoning all his emotional operations and deducing the future based on existing materials from an absolute rational and supreme perspective. This is also the origin of the ability of "Virtual Intelligence Brain" to predict the future. A simple understanding... is scientific fortune-telling, based on all known information, deducing a certain possibility of future development, that is, trend operations.

Taking the Sino-Japanese War as an example, at the beginning of the war, Western countries believed that China, which had undergone drastic reforms, won the victory because of the gap in national strength and potential between the two sides was unreasonable, but the Sino-Japanese War really started. At that time, the semi-colonial and semi-feudal China was defeated in the face of the modern war of the Japanese at a speed that stunned the Western powers.

This is the fragility and gap in the rank of feudal agricultural civilization when facing modern industrial civilization.

However, in the end, China still won the final victory as the Western countries initially believed, which is the so-called trend operation.

On the gambling table where both sides fought, Japan had 70 million chips and China had 400 million chips. No matter how clever the Japanese game skills were, China, a big fat man with great power, lost and pushed up again and again, and lost and then pressed again and again. As long as he won one, Japan would have to spit out the advantage he had taken before, along with the capital and the profits.

Because the fat man opposite pressed it and refused to let it get off the table easily.

Therefore, after the war, China simply did not want Japan's war reparations. Although that amount of money was too much, it was a dead money. China wanted Japan's interest-free loans and technical assistance.

Technical assistance is the key to turning dead money into living money. Interest-free loans tie Japan to the chariot of China's economic development... If you want me to afford this money, don't tamper with technical assistance. To a certain extent, the founding leaders are also deducing the future from an absolute rational and supreme perspective.

It is certainly a great deal for a large amount of war compensation, but that money cannot save China. Letting this country have modern technology and industrial foundation as soon as possible is the real goal of saving the nation. As for interest-free loans, I will not repay them. In the future, even if they are repaid, interest-free loans are the same as the 10,000 yuan 40 years ago and the 10,000 yuan now?

Besides, why can I easily repay the money I borrowed based on my ability? You have to go back with your ability.

Just imagine, if China was defeated that year, would Japan provide large amounts of interest-free loans and technical assistance?

After all, this is a cruel world that speaks by power. The past, present, and even the future have never changed.

At dusk that day, Zhu Peng met with Miss Milu, the client of this mission. The three of them lived together in the town of Sden next to the Sodaro Forest. Almost grew up little by little by little as they listened to the horror legend of the Taguli people in the Sodaro Forest. Therefore, Miss Milu's younger brother Dalt had the idea of ​​exploring this ancient forest. Then, he confirmed the horror of this forest.

"Hello, Mr. Constantine Chino, you have always been my brother's most admired idol. May I ask, are we going to the Sodaro Forest now?" Milu is a girl wearing black-framed glasses, who looks very intellectual, although not beautiful, and she shook hands with Zhu Peng a little excited.

Zhu Peng noticed that the girl was wearing operating uniforms, and she seemed to be ready to enter the forest at any time.

"I understand your eagerness and your family, but on the one hand, my assistants are already very tired, and on the other hand, I also need to conduct some preliminary investigations... It has been two weeks since time, so it is worth it to spend another day to make us more prepared."

"...Okay, sir, you are the most professional, I'll listen to you." The girl seemed a little depressed when she heard this, but she still gritted her teeth and agreed with Zhu Peng's statement.

"Kiman, go to the client's house to check Dalt's room to see if there are any clues left behind. Vicci, you go to hire the best forest guide or hunter in the town to explain the situation to the other party. The commission may be raised a little higher." After gaining the client's understanding, Zhu Peng assigned part of the job for Kiman and Vicci, while he himself went to Sodaro Forest alone with a burning crossbow on his back.

We eat the mountains and the sea. This town is backed by Sodaro Forest. There are actually many lumberjacks and hunters. If the work scope is only on the periphery, there will be no problems.

The primeval forest in front of us is too vast and huge, and the civilization ruins of the Taiguli people are at the deepest core of this forest.

Bang!

He shot a fat hare with one shot. Zhu Peng took back his revolver, walked over and took some hare's blood and placed it in the palm of his palm, and then poured the low-level holy water for dilution. The two blended peacefully together without any strong reaction.

(There is no negative energy radiation effect at all. Is the power completely absorbed in the core area? At least, the animals and plants in this area grow naturally.)

"Are you here to hunt deer? If so, you have to walk inside. I am Jill Kant, the best local hunter. I am very happy to see you." When Zhu Peng was observing the Sodaro Forest, a strong middle-aged man wearing a gray vest turned out from the depths of the forest.

He walked closer to the front with a double-barrel hunting rifle in both hands, praised Zhu Peng's shooting skills, and then stretched out his palm to shake hands with him.

At this moment, Vic trotted from the direction of the town. He was a little lame but not obvious at this time. His increasing strength and pace made up for the shortcomings.

"Teacher, Jill Kant, the best hunter in the town, went out to hunt today. Should we hire other people, or wait for another day?"

"No need, they have already delivered the goods to their door." Zhu Peng said so, looking up and down at Jill Kant, who was holding a double-barrel hunting rifle in front of him.

…………

That night, at the client's home.

A ball of sharp fire burned into Zhu Peng's palm, and then he "punched" it into Vicci's thigh. Wherever the sharp fire went, the bone spurs disappeared, and its power almost recast the boy's thigh bone.

After completing it, a soft light shone out in his palm. He cooperated with the Holy Water to heal Vicci's injuries and quickly completed this simple operation.

"Try it, how do you feel?" Zhu Peng said after he stopped.

Vicci spit out the biting rubber stick, he stood up and walked back and forth in the room with a sweat all over his head but excited expression.

"Teacher, it's completely gone, my legs are completely gone!"

"...If this mission was not very dangerous, I would not have cured this leg for you. During this period of disability, your hard work in practicing has increased by 20% compared to the past, especially for the exercise of your legs. If you can continue to persist in this way and cure your legs for many years, your leg skills can be extremely good, but now you don't care about it for the time being." If you lose your current life because of pursuing future achievements, you will inevitably seem stupid.

"Teacher, will this task be difficult?" Vicci asked in this way when he saw Zhu Peng's serious expression.

"The Taiguli people at their peak had extremely high civilized achievements in the feudal era. Their calendar and astronomical systems were amazingly accurate until now. They were a race with a population of one million... but they were completely destroyed in one day. What do you think the power to destroy it has reached?" At this point, Zhu Peng sneered.

"But that's why it seems very interesting."

The next day, a group of people who purchased a lot of forest equipment under the guidance of jungle hunter Jill entered the Sodaro Forest.

Jill Kant is a widower who lost his wife, children and children in middle age. He is a man who loves hunting and adventure. Once a person becomes interested in his work, his depth of research is often beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Therefore, Jill became the strongest hunter in the town. Every year, just bringing tourists into the forest to hunt deer, he could spend time leisurely and have no worries about food and clothing. However, this time his hunting goal has become different, from hunting deer to hunting ghosts. Of course, the reward Zhu Peng gave was really generous enough.

In the dense and humid dense forest environment, a group of seven people slowly moved forward.

Zhu Peng and the guide Jill Kant and Milu's siblings, among which Miss Milu's younger brother and sister were both underage, but they insisted on dying and died together. Zhu Peng tilted his head and chose to let go.

Jill Kant walked in the front, followed by Kiman and Vic, then the three Milu brothers, and finally Zhu Peng, wearing a windbreaker and carrying a burning crossbow.

The early and middle stages of the journey were still very peaceful. Jill Kant, the strongest local snake, saved many tedious troubles, but when he arrived at the target two days later and found the tent that Dalt had arranged before, the situation gradually became strange.

"This is not like the scene of a mountain bear attack. It's too clean. It's not winter now. If it's a mountain bear, it won't drag all the corpses away." The wild beasts, which are full of aggressiveness during the mating period, will indeed attack tourists' camps, but under the premise of sufficient food, most wild beasts will not eat a lot of human flesh. Unless there is very little salt, the excessively high concentration of organisms in the human body will discourage the beasts.

"The food that is obviously placed has no signs of eating, and the property in the tent has not been taken away. The other party came simply for the sake of killing and hunting... It is already very likely that it is a monster."

In the end, before Kiman could say the word "high" and before he could say it, Zhu Peng suddenly pulled out his revolver and shot in the dense forest.

Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, when the six-round revolver hit the third, the flash shadow running among the trees appeared faintly.

However, he ran very fast. With Zhu Peng's shooting skills at this time, he still only staggered when the fifth shot. At the sixth shot, he was sure to hit the opponent's back, and all the other four bullets were shot empty.

"Don't chase." At this time, Kiman and Vic both pulled out their guns, but Zhu Peng called out.

He jumped over and poured some low-level holy water into the blood that the other party was shot and spilled. The light golden solution reacted violently with the black and red blood. The holy water seemed to suddenly turn into sulfuric acid, rustling and rustling at the same time, white smoke rose.

(The real owner has been found.)

"Vicci, then, you all are here to be wary, and do not disperse without being fatal." Throwing the Burning Crossbow behind him to Vicci, compared to Kiman, this kid had more time to practice crossbow technique. At the same time, Zhu Peng used a spell to summon the Vajra Giant Ape to stay to protect everyone, while he himself followed the Red Fire Dog that had just been summoned to chase and chase the monsters running away with blood and breath.

In the dense forest, Zhu Peng carried a scimitar and chased after him for more than twenty minutes, but found a moose with flesh and blood on the corner and clawed on his butt by a stream.

(Have a certain intelligence, and have the ability to counter-chase and hide its own breath.) The elk was so tired that it could not run at all. Zhu Peng walked up to remove the flesh and blood dug from his body from its horn. He did not let the Red Fire Dog smell it anymore, but used this as a medium to activate the power of the fate card. The confused memory immediately poured into his mind again:

The gorgeous and grand forest buildings, the brilliant and splendid civilization settlements, the noble and sacred high priest in red... Then the camera turned sharply, the panic-hearted adults, the prophecy of the doomsday they were talking about, the crazy high priest and the red-eyed religious warriors, a blood-colored picture, like the corpse of burnt on a hill. On the stone tower, the sacred crystal skull flashed with shrill blood. The high priest standing on the corpse of the clan like a mountain laughed wildly until he was also swallowed by the blood light.

(Finally found, the prophecy of the Doomsday, the blood sacrifice of the Taiguli people...so that's it.) As the power of fate dissipated, the flesh and blood of the monster in Zhu Peng's hand turned into something like ashes, and then he blew it away.

The power of fate is extremely precious now. If it weren't for something important enough, Zhu Peng wouldn't be willing to use it at all. However, the religious artifact sacrificed with the blood of millions of people's lives could bear it, which means that it is at least an epic demigod level, which is worth his slightest waste.

When Zhu Peng returned to his previous camp again, the scene was in a mess. The giant ape of the Diamond had been attacked and almost all of them were injured to a greater or lesser extent, but fortunately they were not seriously injured. When everyone saw Zhu Peng walking out of the dense forest with a scimitar, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"I originally planned to go to Gaotan City to join Mr. Constantine Chino after finishing this ticket. Now it seems that the rice in the witch hunter is really not delicious. I should be my guide in my hometown." Jill Kant suffered a claw on his back and was seriously injured. However, after being washed by holy water and bandaged with bandages, there was no problem in his actions. He was talking and laughing, but his mood was more exciting.

"Teacher, after you left, the ogre did attack us again, but I shot a crossbow on its arm and temporarily repelled it." Vic came up and handed over the Burning Crossbow, but Zhu Peng shook his hand and refused.

"No need to hold it and stop putting it down. I have found its nest. Dalt is not dead yet, but I want to remind you that the next trip will probably become more and more dangerous. Although we will protect you without endangering our own life safety, you are already starting to be injured now. If you continue to move on, you may die." The first half of the sentence was said to Vic, while Zhu Peng's second half was said to Miss Milu, the mission client.

Zhu Peng was not willing to talk to this lady with glasses because the other person's name was quite confusing when he was called, especially in many cases, this woman was still very stubborn.

"You are already an adult and the guardian of your younger brother and sister. You naturally have to bear the price for your choice and keep moving forward. You and your younger brother and sister are likely to die, but if you go back at this time, you will also face the danger of monster attacks... The mission goal I accept is to search and eliminate monsters. The fact is not within our responsibility. In that round just now, my assistant has protected you once. In the next journey, I will never allow them to fall into danger of life because of protecting you. Although this is too much, can you understand what I mean?"

"……I understand, Mr. Constantine, but if I can't see my younger brother, I can't feel at all. My younger brother and sister are in the same mood as me. After my parents die, we brother and sister live together, and we are a whole." The girl thought for a while, hugging her younger brother and sister and said this.

"Appreciable family affection, offensive stupidity." Shaking his head, Zhu Peng raised the silver revolver in his hand, and he took the lead in walking towards the ruins of the Taiguli people.

The Taiguli civilization is one of the five major jungle civilizations in the world. It has outstanding achievements in astronomy, mathematics, agriculture, art and mystics. The concepts of Taiguli wizards, Taiguli magic, etc. have been widely circulated in this world. However, such a civilization that reached the level of a million people at its peak was completely destroyed in one day.

If it were in a normal world, such things would have been investigated countless times by archaeologists and enthusiasts in that world. However, the entire Sodaro Forest was very close to the edge of the world's big cracks. Therefore, under the influence of civilization suppression, the destruction of this civilization of a million-population level was degraded and even forgotten.

When Zhu Peng and others came to this civilization ruins, the city of jungle, they saw a giant building half-jungle and half-city, lacking people. The vitality of the Sodaro Forest is slowly disappearing its traces. However, among the ruins, the prosperity and glory of this civilization can still be seen.

It is very difficult to create such a stone city simply by handcrafts. Although it is impossible to compare with modern cities, the stone city is still filled with a sense of historical heaviness and simple grandeur.

The Taiguli people especially liked stone slab murals, which carved their civilization astronomical calendar, historical contributions and heroic biographies.

"Oh, according to the deduction of the Taguli calendar, our era seems to be over, and the end of the world is now. As a result, the world is not over, and they die first, which is really interesting." Because of the vivid description on the stone wall, even if Kierman and Vicci do not understand the text of Taguli, they can still read it. Especially the three brothers and sisters on the side, Jill Kant and Milu are both locals, and they know more or less about Taguli and are willing to tell Kierman and others.

While looking at the stone slab murals and listening to the explanations of his fellow travelers, Vic, holding the Burning Crossbow, smiled and said, but his teacher looked at him with a very strange look, which made the young man feel a little confused in a terrifying manner.

"Yes, it is probably not a good thing to see through the future where your strength is not enough to deal with. The Taiguli people died and the astronomical deduction was developed too brilliantly." Zhu Peng walked ahead. According to the guidance of the power of the trajectory of fate, he soon found the demon's nest after seven or eight turns.

The monster was actually the only son of the Holy High Priest of the Taguli people and the only survivor in the bloody catastrophe. It was just a child who witnessed such a tragic incident and then slowly grew up with Chengshan's corpse. After long-term negative energy was immersed in, it quickly became half-human, half-demon, half-human and half-beast. Especially here is close to the edge of the world's large crack, and the breath and power of the lower plane are easier to grow and penetrate.
