Chapter 577 Ban Big Brother

The boat set off again, more like gliding along the curved waterway than drifting.

Because just over ten minutes after leaving the cabin, the flow of the river began to slow down significantly, and the river turned into a vast wetland with no end at a glance. The various vegetation and duckweeds made the boat feel more like it was traveling in a large area.

Green clumps on a viscous gel.

There used to be a few punting boats that used the current, but now they had to take turns with paddles. There was no other sound in the dead air except the chirping of insects and the sound of water, which was more or less cold and scary.

The huge dark clouds in the west seem to be getting closer, and fierce flashes of light will appear at the far end of the field of vision from time to time.

Anyone who has lived around the sea of ​​trees for a period of time can easily see that a powerful storm is approaching, and it is expected to catch up with them today or tomorrow at the latest. Therefore, the top priority is that everyone needs a stable shelter.

, otherwise it would not be a good idea to be in a swamp during a heavy rain, as you may be washed away by the surge of water.

As for the cabin we just encountered, it couldn't withstand the ravages of the storm. I'm afraid it wouldn't even be able to withstand the initial strong wind.

Everyone hoped that it would be best to escape from this weird demiplane, and the second would be to find a place where people gathered, such as a village or town. At the very least, they would have to find a dry and higher-lying cave to escape the heavy rain.

The first point has no clue at all right now, and it is just a waste of thought for the time being. As for the second point, it is possible.

There are many traces of civilization in the things in the cabin. At least things like oil lamps cannot be rubbed out by one person alone. In addition, the food and drinking water are also very fresh. It is speculated that they may have been placed in the cabin recently.

.

Even these things may have been drawn into the demiplane like Pei Renli and others. The wooden house itself may have existed for several years, and there are signs of recent repairs. It may have been built by nearby residents, something similar to a hunting cabin.

Besides, the boat they were on was almost brand new, as if someone had specially placed it in front of them for them to use as a means of transportation.

Although everyone is still in a state of confusion, it is at least certain that this demiplane is inhabited.

It's all speculation. It would be nice if the man found in the cabin could talk.

"Who are you?"

"May I have your name?"

"Where do you live? How old are you this year?"

No matter how Pei Renli asked, the man remained silent and sat on the boat holding a lantern in both hands. His pupils were not focused at all, and from time to time he showed an extremely retarded smile...

Although the boat they used was a small boat, it was not a toy that would only fit four people in the park. It was just right for eight people plus the salute. It was such a coincidence that it didn't feel like a coincidence to Pei Renli, and it seemed to make a statement.

The guy who commissioned the adventurers to come to this demiplane seemed to have predicted how many people would be on board.

"What does this map mean? Where is it drawn on?"

Lifting up the map that the man was holding, Pei Renli pointed at the lines on it and said.

This time the latter had some reaction. He looked up at the map. He seemed to be thinking for a moment, but then showed a horrified expression, and immediately turned his eyes to the lantern in his hand, as if the small flame in the lantern brought him

Unparalleled peace of mind.

"Did you ask for something?"

"No, this grandson won't say anything."

This kind of guy with unknown origins would normally not be invited to join the team, but the current situation is special. If there are villages or towns nearby, we might be able to get some clues from this person, so we thought twice before letting him join the team.

Followed on board the boat.

But he seemed to be in a vegetative state, with no self-awareness at all. If you led him with a rope, he would follow him, and if he was asked to sit down, he would sit down, but he would not say anything.

"Maybe it's apathy. I don't feel any negative energy or other energy residues on him. It may be that he has received some strong stimulation recently."

Camilla, who is the best at medical treatment in the team, makes a judgment, but how to treat...

There is no cure. There is no cure.

As the saying goes, physical illness is easy to cure but mental illness is difficult to cure. Even a fatal wound like disembowelment can be cured by a priest in an instant. However, psychological trauma is a problem that even the most skilled priest can't handle.

After all, most of the time the pastor is a listener, listening to the believers' troubles and guiding them, but if the grandson doesn't say anything, there is really nothing he can do.

"Pei Renli, can you think of a way to get rid of that smell on him?"

Sistia hid in front of the boat, pinched his nose and said:

"Can't magic eliminate the smell instantly?"

Pei Renli could only shrug:

"Maybe, but I won't, just bear with it."

This man will satisfy his physiological needs by himself, knowing when he is thirsty to drink water and when hungry to eat, but apart from the most basic physiological needs, he does not know much about other needs.

So now he smells greasy, sour, pissy, and shit...

All in all, it’s a very delicious look.

Speaking of which, when Pei Renli met Sistia for the first time, she had almost the same look. Maybe it was because of the changing tides that she was the one who disliked her the most.

"I hope we can find a village or something nearby. Maybe we can find out who brought us into this demiplane and who this guy is."

As soon as Pei Renli finished speaking, he heard Korra standing on the bow say:

"There's a row of birch trees out front!"

"What happened to the tree?"

Birch trees are relatively rare in swamps, but they are not absent.

"It's so neat, it looks like it was artificially planted."

These words successfully attracted Pei Renli's attention, and he immediately established a connection with the mysterious eye flying in the sky.

Looking down from the sky, the view is clearer. They can easily skip the large mangroves that block the view, and see a patch of white birch trees planted against the edge of the swamp, about five or six hundred meters away from their left front, in a dark green and

Among the dark green color blocks, the bark of the birch tree is very conspicuous.

Indeed, as Korra said, it is too neat, just like the street trees deliberately planted on the roadside. You can tell at a glance that they are not natural products.

Gently turn the perspective and look further in the direction of the birch trees. The patches of shade, bushes and duckweed have completely disappeared. Instead, they are replaced by a large field of low wheat that has just sprouted, and more.

In the distance, there are vague shadows that look unclear, like man-made buildings.

——It’s a town!

–‐‐——–‐‐——

They punted around the intricate swamp vegetation and successfully arrived at the birch forest. Not far along, they saw a small pier that seemed to have been unused for a long time. They could fix the boat on the pier.

The vague smell of death and cold dampness in the swamp will make no one feel comfortable. Living there for a long time will definitely lead to serious illness or even death.

So everyone who jumped off the boat and got back to their feet felt very happy. It would be even more pleasant if they could find a hotel and sit down and have a good meal.

Having said that, since the situation was completely unknown, everyone maintained a certain degree of vigilance and lined up through the birch forest. Even the man found in the cabin was led by a rope like a lead ox.

This obviously artificially planted birch forest feels more like a windbreak. It is large in area, but not too wide. It seems to be planted close to the edge of the swamp. The deeper you go through the birch forest, the deeper you get.

It feels like the ground is getting firmer and firmer, which is completely different from the softness of a swamp that can bring up half a foot of mud when you step on it.

In less than twenty minutes, everyone passed through the birch forest, and then entered a large area of ​​farmland that seemed to have just been sown. After walking forward for more than ten minutes, they could clearly see a large number of buildings surrounded by walls.

in sight.

By visual inspection, this was a small town with a population of about two to three thousand people. Since it was almost evening when everyone arrived, smoke could be seen rising above the town, and some people could even be seen carrying hoes.

I was walking towards the small town with similar farm equipment, feeling that I might want to go home for dinner.

This kind of idyllic scenery that can be seen anywhere makes everyone feel a certain degree of confusion, and they almost forget that they are in a demiplane with no way out.

When everyone felt strange about this, the man who was brought behind him had a slight reaction.

Before, he didn't know how to move forward without being held by a rope. Now, even if no one touches him, he still moves towards the town, as if he knows this place instinctively.

When everyone saw this, they immediately followed. They had a lot of questions and it was best to find someone to ask what exactly this place was.

"Eh? Isn't that brother Luke?"

When we walked near the town, there was a sudden sound in the farmland.

When I turned around, I saw an eighty-nine-year-old girl carrying a basket. She wore a wreath of grass flowers on her head. Her sweet voice made people feel good. It might be a folk custom. One of her wrists was wrapped

Wearing a canvas handkerchief.

A big long-haired dog stuck out its tongue and followed the little girl closely like a guard. When he noticed that she was talking to Pei Renli and the others, the big dog squatted down in the field.

Everyone looked at each other when they saw this, and Pei Renli quickly pointed at the man found in the cabin and asked:

"Do you know this guy?"

"I know him. He is brother Marcel who lives on the west side of town, but I haven't seen him for almost two or three months."

As she spoke, the little girl looked at Pei Renli and the others, her eyes flashing with confusion:

"Brother, who are you? I have never seen you."

Immediately his eyes lit up:

"Could it be that you are from outside?"
