Plague Doctor

"Our ancestors are hospitable. When friends come, there is good wine. Come, pour a glass of good wine for the guests."

In the dense and gloomy woods, under the surprised eyes of Peacock and Mo Qing, the giant white-haired rat walked out, patting its belly and talking.

The existence of Zu Ge is not a secret, but they usually don't appear in front of people. This is the first time that the two of them have seen each other so close.

young people? They have never been able to tell how old the Nightmare Man is, and there is no way to distinguish the completely destroyed face. But it seems reasonable for each of these ancestors to be called Atal young people. But they couldn't figure it out, how could the Nightmare Man get entangled with such a little thing?

"Haha, I'm a friend now." Gu Jun glanced around, "Where are my old friends?"

"They have already returned to their villages with the harvest." The ancestors said, "Young man, now we have food and you have health and freedom. Isn't this a happy outcome for everyone? In fact, I decided to hand you over to the black merchant. , with this plan..."

"So you have good intentions?" Gu Jun smiled, "Old guy, do you think I will believe it? You know very well how black merchants treat slaves, right?" He lowered his voice, "Don't think that This way you can get by."

There was an explosion of slapping sounds all around, and the ancestors emerged from behind the trees and from the soil, thousands of them, densely packed.

They yelled at each other: "Don't go too far!" "We saved you, what's wrong with earning a few grouse?" "How the black merchants treat you as a black merchant has nothing to do with our ancestral tribes. relation!"

"Mr. Nightmare Man..." The peacocks really felt a sense of threat. There were so many of them that they couldn't even kill them if they rushed at them all.

"Shut up!" The ancestors yelled at the clan members, "We do have a problem with hospitality. Sir, tell me, how do you want to solve this matter?"

The grandfathers patted their bellies and muttered, mentally prepared to lose at least a thousand grouse, quail and pheasants each.

"I heard that you have a way to leave this world and reach other worlds." Gu Jun said. Each of these ancestors is quite cunning, but he is not prepared to deal with each other. "How can I return to the original world? Also, I want you to help me clean these vines off my feet."

Peacock and Mo Qing next to him were stunned. Mr. Nightmare Man...want to go back to his destroyed home world?

"How?" Ancestor's little eyes suddenly changed, and he was thinking about something, "In this world, where there are woods and caves, there are our ancestors. So the method you want to know, we I have some understanding.”

Gu Jun felt refreshed and found hope of returning home.

Rats are indeed ubiquitous. Even if a house mouse appeared in the school's ultra-clean laboratory, he would not be particularly surprised.

"What do you think? We will help you." The ancestors patted their white-bearded chins and said, "You give us a small gift as a testimony of friendship. We only need three thousand grouse, three thousand..."

"What did you say?" Gu Jun interrupted, staring into its small eyes, his eyes slightly tightened, "I didn't hear clearly just now, can you say it again and I'll listen?"

"I mean as friends." Ancestor continued to pat his chin, his expression unchanged, "We should help each other, and we will try our best to help you."

The surrounding ancestors were all upset, but wherever there was a voice of dissatisfaction, wherever the Nightmare Man glanced, they all supported the elder's wise decision.

The peacock shook his head slightly. Even the black merchant couldn't resist the power of the Nightmare Man's glance, and so did they, let alone the little Zugo.

"Then how can I go back?" Gu Jun asked, "My place is called Earth, the third planet in the solar system."

"Sir, we don't know anything about Sun Creek." The ancestors walked around, patting their bodies and trees gently.

"We ancestors like to look and listen everywhere. Sometimes when we walk in certain places, we feel like we are in a different world somehow. We usually take a look and then come back, because there is no other place like it. It's good here. But after a long time, we figured out some rules. It's easy to come here, but it's hard to go back, because there is only one dream world, and there are thousands of other worlds."

"This is a general rule." The ancestors said, "The second one is that the passage connecting the two worlds will appear randomly in the corresponding place. You know, in a place like Leng Yuan, it leads to other places. The world is also in a world of ice and snow, but in the Enchanted Forest, it leads to a land of forests."

Gu Jun nodded silently. Peacock and the others had said that humans entered Leng Yuan from Antarctica. And he went from sea to sea in the white boat.

"Third, passages usually appear in secret locations, and caves are the most common. Fourth, passages are unstable. They may appear for one day and disappear the next day, or they may disappear after a month. The more you use a channel, the faster it collapses."

"Is there no stable passage?" Gu Jun paid attention to the eyes of his ancestors.

"Maybe there is, but we haven't found it yet." The ancestors didn't seem to be lying.

"Then you can go back if you find a passage?" He asked again, "Can all passages work?"

"This is the biggest problem." The ancestors said, and the surrounding ancestors all agreed, "It is not difficult to find a passage for you, but the difficulty is to locate the path. Otherwise, you may end up in a place dominated by orangutans. world, who knows.”

"What should we do?"

"Sir, do you know what a lighthouse is? Not all ancestors know

What is a lighthouse? When you walk into the passage, you are like walking on a black sea. It can lead to many worlds, and only the corresponding lighthouse can take you back. You need to use physical objects brought from the original world to serve as beacons. "

"But the things we brought here melted away immediately." Gu Jun said solemnly, will those Kalop instruments take him to the alien world?

"That's why I said, that is the biggest problem." The ancestors clapped their hands.

Gu Jun thought, does that small medical bag count? At least there is a chance, but before that there is another question, "Is there a passage near here?"

"No, there are not that many passages. In different seasons, the probability of appearing in different places is also different. The Enchanted Forest only appears more in spring. Now we know of only three passages, one in Ehosk and one in in the Nartos Valley, and another in the Bnazik Desert.”

Bunazik Desert? Gu Jun looked at the two peacocks and asked, "Which one is closest?"

"Brnazik is the closest!" Peacock said quickly, "It can be reached in ten days at the fastest from here, but the other two places require more than half a month."

"Yes." The ancestors each clapped their heads, "That's it."

Peacock realized that this was a good opportunity, and said repeatedly: "Mr. Nightmare Man, let's go to Bunazik? If you are on the way, you can come back to the clan with us to have a look."

Gu Jun pondered for a while, it would be faster if it didn't waste time, so going to the Bunazik Desert was definitely the best choice.

You can go and see if their rhetoric is true or false, if it is true, you can also ask the doctors what is going on.

He also thought about something and asked the two of them: "Do you have anything from your home world? Holy objects or something like that?" Although Peacock said that Ten Thousand Fire Seeds could not bring anything, considering that he and Wu Shiyu could I brought some here. Is there any hidden meaning in Peacock’s statement?

Mo Qing frowned and was about to say something, but Peacock stopped his companion and said seriously: "Yes, there are a few items."

Gu Jun looked at her, unable to tell whether she was telling the truth or deceiving him.

Love the Plague Doctor.
