Chapter 1285 The intersection of clues
The sound of a mechanical locking device starting came from the depths of the earth. The automatically running spacecraft completed docking with the automatically running home port. After the two steel lands were connected together, everyone heard the constant low buzzing sound from the depths of the ancient spacecraft under their feet gradually weakened - it seemed that the ship's system had turned into dormant mode and began to receive supplies and inspections from the home port.
After putting down the "passengers" on her back, Melita returned to human form in a light curtain. She looked a hundred meters ahead - there was the edge of the original spacecraft, but now it was connected to the port of the home port. The spacecraft shield at the corresponding position also completed the integration with the shield of the home port itself. At this moment, what appeared before her was a smooth road, and she could walk directly to the "home port" that was almost like an artificial continent.
"Let's land now and take a look?" She turned her head and looked at Gao Wen on the side, "But we don't know how long this spacecraft will stay here. If the ship suddenly leaves during our landing and exploration..."
"It will stay for at least twelve hours." Gao Wen shook his head slightly before Melita finished speaking. He looked up at the connection between the spacecraft and the port. There was a huge holographic projection between the deck and the connection port. There was a line of jumping and flashing characters on the projection. Others couldn't understand the thing, but he saw it very clearly. It was the progress of the spacecraft receiving engine calibration and shield charging at the port. It seemed that although the main system in this place had been damaged, just as the lighting facilities everywhere were still operating normally, some of the basic functions of the "home port" were still operating normally - although they were all affected to varying degrees.
Everyone in the team had become accustomed to Gao Wen's "understanding" of the legacy of these setters, so there was no doubt at this moment. After learning that there were still twelve hours of action, everyone immediately stopped wasting time and followed Gao Wen towards the amazingly large "home port" in the distance.
Huge dry branches, broken vines and leaves as huge as roofs scattered around them. The "Reincarnation Giant Tree" that was even larger than a city was tilted over the port facilities in the distance. The canopy of the leaves had fallen and the remaining and broken branches seemed like an intertwined and hideous iron curtain sky. Just looking at it brings a huge sense of shock and oppression - everyone's eyes couldn't help but look up at the canopy that covered the entire port. Mary, who had the least courage and the softest personality in the team, even shook his body. It was not until Daniel couldn't bear to see that he released a high-level magical sanity to his apprentice that the poor female mage finally calmed down.
Gao Wen was also looking up at the canopy of the giant tree of reincarnation, looking at the dry branches that were faintly intertwined into the shape of a giant city. He imagined the process of this kingdom of gods hitting the legacy of the setter, and lamenting the feat of Amoen back then - but no matter what, this majestic and magnificent tree of divinity died after all, dead in the silent remains deep in the darkness, fragments of the remains scattered everywhere, and whether it was the pollution of the tide or anything else... they had nothing to do with this dead tree.
"It looks like the God of War God's Kingdom, the 'Reincarnation Giant Tree' is not polluting to us," Kamier, who was floating near Gaowen, suddenly said. He raised his arm to the side and directed the hand of shaping to collect some pieces of dry plants and put them in a small box floating behind him, preparing to recycle them as samples. "I just don't know if these things will 'dissipate' like things in the God of War God's Kingdom after entering the real world..."
"Amoen has been away from the throne for more than three thousand years. Although he was not as thorough as the God of War at first, the influence of the divine nature he left behind should be completely dissipated after such a long time," Gao Wen said casually, "And even if the divine nature on his own is not completely dissipated, his kingdom of gods cannot remain spiritual pollution - this is the ruins left by the setter, and the relics of the gods landed on it will be purified in just a moment."
"Is it 'purified'..." Melita looked around thoughtfully, "Maybe this giant tree of reincarnation died of 'rejection' during the purification process - looking at the huge vines, some of them tend to wrap around the surrounding facilities, but withered and died during the tangling process, which shows that this tree was still alive when it just 'collided' here. Unfortunately, facing the power of the setter...it couldn't even struggle for a long time."
Gao Wen did not speak, his eyes fell on an alloy tower on the edge of the harbor, where withered and dead vines were wrapped around. However, deep in the pile of wreckage, tiny leaves and flowers grew out, and their vitality was tenaciously revealed in this withered and dead place - and these tiny plants were everywhere in the wreckage of giant trees farther away.
They even formed a small ecosystem faintly.
Modir also became interested in these plants that grew from the wreckage of giant trees. As an adventurer's instinct, he ignored the strange and oppressive environment here. He came to the huge plant remains, climbed up withered branches and ayati, carefully observed the plants and trees growing inside, and turned to others and said, "These things do not look like our 'worldly' plants, but there seems to be nothing special about it..."
"It looks like some ordinary flowers, plants and bushes. They grow from the remains of the divine death, but they are just ordinary things themselves." Melita also observed the plants and trees that grew from the remains of the giant tree of reincarnation. She concluded that "the giant tree of reincarnation is also a 'tree' in essence. After the divine death it will also retain huge nutrients. These nutrients are enough to allow it to grow new 'descent' from the corpse, and even continue to maintain a small-scale ecosystem...but now three thousand years have passed, and I don't know how long the vitality in the corpse can continue to last."
No one could answer Melita's questions, and even Amoen came here in person could not explain it clearly. All they could do was to observe the surroundings as carefully as possible, keep recording the video materials, collect some samples as much as possible, and keep up with Gao Wen's footsteps in the process and continue to walk towards the depths of the port.
They arrived at the area covered by the canopy of giant trees, and the huge plant remains distributed around them reached a peak - countless roots, vines, branches, leaves and dead wood fragments were spread all over the steel land, and even piled up into small hills and canyons. Some dry vines drooping from the canopy were intertwined like forests, and the surface of the canopy was clinging to the new "children" green vines. Withering and death and the new greenness were intertwined in an incredible way. Under this strange scene of life and death, it was the cold and hard steel land left by the setters who set out 1.8 million years ago.
A large number of original structures of the port facilities were covered by the wreckage of the giant reincarnation trees. Only some street light balls floating in the air were still running as usual, illuminating this "chilling forest" that should have been very dark. The team led by Gao Wen was walking in this dense forest. Fortunately, every member of the team had a certain strength, and the harsh environment here did not affect their pace much.
Amber's figure walked in front of the team. Although the shame of the alliance was showing her fear of being afraid of death, she was not vague when she really used herself. She acted as the scout in front with her most agile skills, and her petite figure flashed between the light and shadow of the dense forest, constantly bringing the information ahead back to Gao Wen.
Like a quick eye worm.
The slightly unreliable association flashed through his mind, and Gao Wen then threw these messy thoughts behind his head. At this moment, Amber, who went to investigate the nearby environment, suddenly ran back again, and his face was filled with an exaggerated and astonishing expression as if he saw Rebecca learning to arrange flowers.
"Come and take a look!" The "half-elf" rushed over like a gust of wind, and his mouth was crackling loudly, "There is something in front... I thought I was wrong! In the open space in front..."
Gao Wen, who was walking in the front of the team, was stunned by Amber's sudden exaggeration, and then pulled the guy aside, speeding up his pace and walking forward casually, saying, "Don't be so shocked, the front is in the end..."
Before he finished speaking, his feet had already passed a dark brown vine that was bulging like a wall. The view blocked by the wreckage of plants became wider. The scene not far away came into view, blocking all the things he wanted to say behind him back into his stomach.
The sound of footsteps sounded from behind, and everyone in the team rushed up from behind. In an instant, Gao Wen heard several low screams and breathing sounds - everyone looked at the open land not far away in surprise, and at the small wooden house standing quietly on the open land.
A small wooden house!
"House?!" Even Daniel, who had his face tense all the way, couldn't hold it tight for a moment, and widened his eyes and looked at the simple hut in the distance.
The cottage was obviously made of the surrounding materials. Although the roughly processed wooden boards and rattans were not very beautiful, they looked sturdy and durable. It was located in an open area among the remains of the giant tree of the reincarnation. It was just unobstructed, as if to avoid the dead branches and leaves falling from the canopy of the giant tree to destroy the house. Between the winding and stacked plant remains not far from the wooden house, a large number of unsupported berry shrubs and other plant bushes that could not be seen. Unlike the plants and trees that grew randomly in other places nearby, the bushes seemed to have been carefully maintained - and the collapsed fences and crooked wooden pillars could be seen around.
But all this seems to have been abandoned for many years.
"This is... a trace of people living in it!" Victoria couldn't help but break the silence. She looked at everything not far away in surprise, then turned her head to look at her ancestor who was a great adventurer, "Ancestor, you... ancestor? What's wrong with you?"
Modir stood beside Victoria, and at some point he had already looked a little dull. The old mage stared blankly at the hut and the scene near the hut in the distance. After a long time, it seemed that he finally heard Victoria's call. He covered his forehead and muttered in confusion: "I...I don't know...I feel like I have been to this place, but I forgot, I forgot something very important...I seem..."
Modir's reaction made Gao Wen's heart move instantly, and lightning-like association burst into his mind. At the same time, Amber, who was looking around to observe the surrounding environment, suddenly found something again. While pulling his arm, he shouted: "Hey! Look over there! Look far away! Those tower-like facilities and the connection structure between them!"
Gao Wen blinked and his eyes slowly looked in the direction of Amber's finger.
He saw another wider open area in a distance from the hut, with a large number of tower-like alloy facilities extending from the steel platform and pointing straight to the sky. There were cleverly arranged cross beams connected to the vaults between the alloy "towers", forming a large three-dimensional structure that seemed to be an antenna array or a certain decorative dome. All of this was hidden by the remains of nearby plants, so that he did not discover their existence at all at the first time.
He stared in that direction for a long time before retracting his gaze and looking at Amber's eyes. The two of them looked at each other for two or three seconds, and finally said in unison: "A scene in the illusion of sand and dust!"
That is exactly where Amber extracted from Modir's memory the "illusion" showed, and where Modir met the "Temini Elf".
It turns out that it is here, in the depths of this deep sea, in the "home port" of the setter, and among the wreckage of the "giant tree of reincarnation"!
Many clues finally closed quietly here, showing a "answer" that everyone unexpectedly expected. Even Gao Wen himself was shocked in front of these dramatic clues. His eyes slowly turned to the small wooden house in the open space not far away, the simple and simple residence... At this moment, it seemed to be the focus and core of everything, stirring up the ancient truth and future possibilities.
"Victoria, take care of Modir." Gao Wen turned his head and said to the "Duke of Ice and Snow" beside him, then walked towards the quiet hut. Behind him, Amber followed him without saying a word.
Gao Wen came to the hut, and the simple residence was silent to him. There was no movement in the hut. It seemed that the former residents here had been away for a long time. He stretched out his hand and slowly stroked the rough wooden door. Although the wooden door made of the "divine wood remains" was a bit mottled, it was still complete and solid.
He saw a faint mark on the wooden door. After brushing away the dust on the surface, he saw clearly the content of the mark - not some earth-shaking content, it was just some animals and plants depicted with simple lines, as well as some simple but vivid scenery.
Gao Wen took a light breath and pushed open the door.
The scene in the cottage is reflected in the eyes, and the simple furnishings are visible at a glance - two old and simple wooden beds, some equally wooden shelves and daily necessities, a shorter wooden table in the corner, and a few bouquets of flowers that have been dry for many years on the table.
Gao Wen's eyes slowly swept across the room.
He did not see the living person, but he did not see the corpse.
Chapter completed!
