Helfas is lost in the jungle again.
He had a map spread out in his hand, but he couldn't see the sky and it was difficult to tell the direction. There were trees everywhere as far as he could see, as if all places were the same.
"The next place is a river."
He made marks along the way, and turned several times in the most stupid way before finding the right direction.
The sound of the rushing river came to his ears, and he quickened his pace.
Passing through the cracks between the giant trees, the long shadows of the trees passed by, and he finally saw white light appearing between the cracks.
While running, he took a step forward.
I saw dense light spots surging on the clear river.
After washing his face, he checked the map again: "It's here."
Then he drew a dot on it: "I'm about here now."
According to the map, it is already very deep into the forest of the full moon.
However, the next problem appeared again. This river is very fast. How can we get across it?
He went down the river, looking for a relatively gentle section of the river, to see if there was a chance to cross the river.
"Crash!"
I couldn't hear any other sounds along the way, only the river was surging, but the river was very wide, and Helfas searched for a long time but couldn't find a place to cross the river.
The sky slowly darkened, but at this time, it was the movement in the distant woods that attracted him.
"Is there light?"
Helfas became more careful, he looked around for a long time before slowly approaching the light source.
But as it got closer, the faint firefly went out.
"Off?"
Helfas was about to retreat immediately, but at this moment he heard voices coming from the jungle again.
"Humph... hum..."
It was obviously a human voice, humming some kind of melody.
Melodious and melodious, accompanied by the silence of the night forest.
Helfas followed the sound and approached, and then saw a figure under a tree.
He is very strange.
This is already the deepest part of the jungle in the Land of the Full Moon, and weirdness appears frequently. Ordinary dragon people will not come to such a dangerous place, nor can they come here.
It was a young man, his voice and appearance should be about the same age as Helfas.
He leaned his hands behind his head, and sat leisurely on the tree with his eyes closed, biting a branch and leaf, and humming a rhythmic tune with his nose.
It seems that you are not in the full moon forest full of weirdness and beasts, but in the shade of trees beside the field ridge in the afternoon.
Helfas, who was wearing a mask of a sealed item, wanted to keep his eyes open when he was sleeping in such a ghostly place. Any slight disturbance would wake him up. He didn't understand where the other party's confidence came from.
As if sensing Helfas' approach, the man under the tree opened his eyes.
Under the month.
In the jungle by the river, two strangers looked at each other, one standing and the other sitting.
The other party spoke first: "So it's a human!"
He was biting something in his mouth, and his speech was a little unclear. After seeing that it was Helfas who came, the other party seemed a little disappointed.
Helfas asked him: "Who are you?"
He calmly took off the branch from his mouth, and said to Helfas: "I am someone who wants to visit the gods, there is a temple in the Full Moon Forest, you must have heard of it! "
Helfas looked at the clothes on the other person, the pattern and texture made him feel a little familiar.
"Are you from the Zhi tribe?"
The other party nodded and did not refute.
After confirming that the other party was nothing strange, Helfas got a little closer, but the other party should have set off at least one month earlier than himself, so why did he come here now.
He didn't ask either, but asked a key question.
"How are you going to cross the river? By the way, I also want to go to that temple, so I should drop by with you."
The other party pointed to the river and said, "I have a wooden raft."
Helfas was pleasantly surprised: "In this case, there is no problem crossing the river. Can I borrow your raft by the way."
The other party said it doesn't matter: "If you are willing to sit, come up tomorrow morning!"
Helfas thanked him for his generosity, and had to say that the other party solved a big problem for him.
Helfas found a place on the opposite side of the young man and sat down, ready to eat something, and then take a rest.
At this time, the young man was fiddling with a stick stuck in the ground, as if reaching out to pat something, and finally turned his gaze to Helfas.
"Hi!"
"The mask on your face is a weird one, isn't there a way for it to restrain its... smell..."
"Taste, you can understand it!"
He gestures.
Helfas understood what the other party was talking about, and to be precise, it should be called breath.
He looked at the young man, and the other party also knew that weirdness would emit a special aura, and they could feel each other if they were too close.
Helfas immediately restrained the aura emanating from the mask. Usually, he let the aura of the mask cover his aura, and disguised himself as a weird one.
As Helfas moved, the stick in front of the youth lit up.
It was only then that he saw what it was, and he also understood where the light he saw before came from.
It was a long wooden pole with its skin peeled off, and a cloth bag hung from one end of the wooden pole, and something glowed inside the cloth bag.
Look carefully, it seems to be a kind of luminous bug.
Helfas immediately said: "Weird?"
The youth did not deny it, and even introduced it to Helfas.
"I call it a coward."
"When there is no danger, it will emit light. At this time, it is safe, and it can also be used as a lantern."
"And once dangerous monsters appear around, it will immediately weaken its own light, and even actively turn off its own light as the opponent approaches, for fear that the opponent will find it."
He moved closer to the light source, letting the light source illuminate his face, while looking at Helfas.
It was only then that Helfas had a complete look at the other person's face. He looked very young. He didn't know if he had been hungry for a long time or he couldn't see the sun in the jungle, so his face was a little pale.
However, between his words, he seemed to be in good spirits, with a sense of leisurely contentment.
he said to Helfas.
"I haven't seen it before!"
"It's weird that there are such guys who are greedy for life and afraid of death. It feels like us, afraid of those terrible, powerful and unknown guys."
Helfas nodded.
It is indeed a very weak weirdness, but this ability is extraordinarily powerful for humans. This is something that can save one's life in the weird world.
Helfas could also feel some weird aura through the mask, but that was only limited to face-to-face, and this kind of weirdness was obviously a large-scale induction.
He also finally understood what the other party was like, so that he could go to a place as deep as the Full Moon Forest.
But since it is weird, it must have its dangerous side.
Helfas asked: "Is it not dangerous?"
The other party said: "It must not be allowed to touch the corpse."
As for why it cannot touch the corpse, and what will happen after touching the corpse, the other party did not elaborate.
The next morning, the two set off.
They worked together to lift a raft to the edge of the river beach, and then pushed it into the water little by little. Helfas was behind, dripping water and climbing onto the raft.
Suddenly, the other party urged Helfas.
"Swipe harder!"
"Hurry up, there is no time."
The two slid hard to the opposite bank, and the raft was pushed down by the current, and finally landed at a position diagonally opposite.
The young man threw off the raft and ran ashore, urging Helfas to hurry into the forest.
"Come in quickly."
Helfas also ran in together, and just after entering the forest, there was a loud noise from behind.
"Boom!"
Helfas looked back, and suddenly saw a thick, whip-like tentacle protruding from the bottom of the water, tearing apart the entire river.
It frantically flapped and waved around the water surface, splashing layers of water.
The tentacles grazed the raft, and the raft immediately fell apart.
As Helfas stared, a young voice came from behind: "Be startled!"
Helfas looked back at the young man's strangely calm face, they were about to be torn apart in just one step, but the other party didn't even change his voice.
"You know there's something under the water here?"
But as soon as the words came out, Helfas understood how the other party knew.
The other party should have been observing his cloth lantern, felt its changes, and found that something strange was quietly approaching them.
He asked again: "Aren't you afraid?"
The youth said: "There is no danger here. What is the use of being afraid?"
Helfas: "Although this is the case, fear comes from the deepest instinct in my heart. Even if I know it, I can't suppress it. Why are you so calm?"
The young man said: "Then you just pretend that I don't know what it means to be afraid!"
The two then set off.
On the way to their destination, they passed a water pool where they fetched water.
"There is no problem with the water here, you can fill some more and use it later."
They passed a swamp, the youth told Helfas.
"There is a scary and weird thing here, don't get close anyway, stay away from this place."
Helfas saw a forest with fruit hanging, the young man climbed on the tree to pick the fruit, and then dropped a few skillfully.
"This kind of food is edible, but the taste is not very good."
On the way, the other party strolled in the courtyard, as if walking in his own home.
-------------------------------------
Night.
Helfas bounced his scroll and map with the help of the special lantern, and recorded on it the several strange things he saw along the way. Although he doesn't know their characteristics, even some of them are worth remembering .
All these bits and pieces will eventually come together, and a weird world will be revealed in front of Helfas.
Then Helfas marked on the map again, with marks on danger, water sources and food places, as well as their trajectories along the way.
It can be seen that they are getting closer and closer to their destination, but the destination on the map does not have a temple painted on it, but is painted into a black mass.
Helfas didn't understand what that meant either.
Because this map is already abstract enough, and many places are not accurate enough, Helfas has corrected it many times along the way.
While Helfas was writing and drawing, the young dragon people were standing not far away looking at the direction of their destination.
He knelt on the ground, looking quietly into the distance.
As if praying.
After Helfas finished his busy work, he looked at the young man who had remained motionless.
It took a certain amount of willpower to kneel for such a long time without moving an inch. He suddenly felt that the other party might be a very devout believer.
"Why do you go to see God, because do you believe in him?"
The other party slowly turned their head when they heard the voice, and said to Helfas: "Because everyone says that God is omnipotent, and she can satisfy any wish of man."
Helfas asked again: "I don't know if the gods are omnipotent, but why should she satisfy any wishes of people?"
"Her omnipotence is only her business, so what does she have to do with mortals?"
The young man said: "Since she is so omnipotent, it doesn't matter if she reaches out to help us?"
Helfas: "If you have a lot of food, suddenly one day many people who have nothing to do with you and do not know come to you and talk to you about you."
"Anyway, there is so much food, it doesn't matter if you give me some."
"Will you give it at that time?"
The young man froze.
Then he laughed, a little dryly.
"I will probably close the door and keep them all out!"
The topic suddenly became awkward, and the scene became very quiet.
Although Helfas blurted out the words, he felt something was wrong after he finished speaking, as if he had pierced through other people's dreams and obsessions with his own hands.
Especially this road has not come to the end, before everything is right or wrong.
So, he said another sentence.
"What I said may not be right, because I just look at such things from the perspective of a mortal. Maybe the perspective of the gods is completely different from ours."
"Here we are discussing what the gods are like and what they will do, maybe like a bug on the ground imagining the world that a bird sees."
The young man slowly raised his head, and he also asked Helfas the same question.
"Then why are you going to the temple?"
"I've heard of you, the black-haired black boy who has special power against weirdness, haven't you been searching for news about weirdness?"
"Why do you also come here, wanting to meet the gods?"
Helfas: "You know me too?"
The other party: "When the merchants from the Golden Tribe came, I heard them talk about you."
Helfas nodded, he almost forgot that when the other party left, the businessman had already been to the Weaving Tribe.
Helfas: "I have some questions I want to find answers to, whether it is a temple or a god, I want to take a look."
Youth: "If you can't find the answer, what do you do?"
Helfas: "I haven't figured it out yet."
"A traveler on the road only knows where the next stop is. If you ask him where he will end up, most people can't see that far."
“Maybe all we can choose is to keep going, and then one day we will stop.”
"Because I'm tired, because I can't walk anymore."
"Or dead."
The young man said: "Aren't you very calm when you talk about death?"
"Listening to your story, you should have faced danger many times, right?"
"After going through so many times, are you still afraid?"
Helfas: "Yes, I'm still afraid."
"Because when I am really faced with death and choices, no matter how hard I can muster up the courage to tell myself that death is nothing to be afraid of, what I want to do is very important."
"But my body tells me I should be afraid."
"It will tell the heart that you should jump up and down, it will make the body tired, painful and hopeless, it will use countless forces to overwhelm your will, and it will use every force to make you retreat and avoid death .”
Helfas sighed.
"What kind of courage do you need, and what kind of people have you experienced."
"Only by suppressing the instincts of the body, can we transcend the instincts of the body to face death and choices?"
He seemed to have something to say.
The young man said: "Can't it be born?"
Helfas: "Maybe!"
The young man lay down and got ready for sleep.
And Helfas finally picked up the map and prepared to roll it up.
However, when he took a last glance, he still said with some doubts.
"Why is this destination a mass of black, and there is a sign symbolizing abstraction in other places, what does this mean?"
A young man's voice came from the edge of the light emitted by the lantern.
"It is rumored that the temple is at the bottom of a huge deep cave."
"So that's also a symbol. The large block painted black by the mapmaker is the meaning of the hole."
Helfas turned sideways: "How do you know so clearly, even what the mapmaker thinks?"
The young man lying on the ground said: "Because the map in your hand was drawn when I set out."
Helfas turned his head to look at the other party, and nodded clearly.
After a while, he said.
"Thank you for the map, and thank you for the raft."
-------------------------------------
Another full moon night.
This time, Helfas didn't go to spy on the moon in the sky. He and the young man hid in a cave, watching the outside carefully.
They saw dense vines spreading out from the depths of the earth.
"Swish swish swish~"
Helfas once again saw the horrible weirdness he saw on the night of the full moon, but it was far away in the sky at that time, but now it seems to be far away.
He could even hear the sound of the vines wriggling and rubbing, as if there were countless huge snakes wriggling on the ground.
Those "snakes" covered the entire forest in front of them.
Together with the mountains.
In the end, they become entangled together and become a huge pillar extending to the sky, the moon protruding into the sky.
Helfas still couldn't help taking a look, and what caught his eyes was the opponent's huge body shape that didn't fit the structure of a living body at all. When the opponent moved, the forest in front of him was only its picture.
Helfas: "This thing is here?"
As we get closer to the location of the temple, there are more and more weirdnesses in this area.
The young man's lantern seemed to start warning every time he walked a certain distance, and the two of them stopped and stopped completely watching the changes of the lights, choosing the road randomly.
It's possible that they just took the wrong fork and went straight into the weird belly.
But when it was really close to the location of the temple, all the weird traces disappeared.
It's as if this is a weird forbidden place.
Even Helfas's biphasic devil worm face and the youth's lantern didn't make any movement, and they didn't respond any more, but this made the two of them feel at ease.
At least you can move forward boldly, without having to be scared every step of the way.
They walked through a huge canyon, along the ground where no plants grew, and finally saw a huge pothole with no bottom.
The youth stood on the edge of the pothole: "The temple is just below."
Helfas looked down carefully, but he couldn't see the bottom at all, he could only see the endless darkness.
He asked: "How to get down?"
The young man took out a roll of rope from the package: "Use the rope."
Helfas looked at the bottom: "This rope is not enough at all!"
The other party said: "After using the rope, then use tools to climb down."
Helfas: "Climbing?"
The young man said: "Are you afraid again?"
He looked at the pothole below and told Helfas a way to overcome his fear of heights.
"You only need to imagine that the darkness below is actually soft. When we fall, we actually fall on a soft bed, and then we can have a good sleep."
"This way you won't be afraid."
Helfas froze.
Is this kind of self-comfort meaningful? If it falls, it must be falling asleep, the kind that can't sleep at all.
Not only is the bed soft, but the bed itself is also soft, requiring a shovel to scoop it up.
Looking at the young man saying this seriously, it seems that he is not joking, but really wants to comfort Helfas and let him muster up the courage to climb down.
Helfas said: "I want to know more than I am afraid, has anyone really succeeded in going down before?"
"Can you still come up alive?"
The young man was noncommittal: "Otherwise, how would anyone know that there is a temple here?"
Helfas nodded, and he asked again.
"Then did he see the gods?"
"Or, did your wish come true?"
The young man didn't answer any more.
Because while Helfas was speaking, he had already started to fix the rope, and started climbing directly down.
Helfas watched the other party go down, and he also grabbed the rope together, and the two of them went down the rope together.
The darkness engulfed the two of them little by little, and they didn't speak, only the sound of breathing.
Under your feet is a bottomless abyss.
Any mistake will end in pieces.
