I made an appointment with the priest to send out a signal when we arrived, and then she organized the women in the city to hold a singing ceremony in the square. Use the four-eyed spiritual bird to lock the range for us.
She didn't know that I could 'ascend'. When the four-eyed bird flew to take the antidote for them, I was waiting in mid-air to see where it landed.
There are trees and plants blocking the way in the forest, so the specific landing location of the spiritual bird cannot be seen at all.
Now I act as an overhead monitor and can see where it lands.
When it flew over, it noticed something stationary in the air. It flew around me a few times, made a few tentative noises, and found it was a "dead object", so it continued to fly forward.
I watched it dive into a bush and follow closely. It came out with a handful of grass in its mouth and flew back along the same path.
Its mouth is big enough to swallow a person without breaking it up, just like a pelican fishing. It is also big. I looked at its belly and it can swallow a person whole.
After it flew away, I moved to the bush where it stopped.
Under the trees, I found the antidote that grew in clusters.
There is no such herb around. It seems to be specially cultivated surrounded by bushes, and it is clearly distinguishable from the surrounding plants.
The antidote is found, the question is how to solve the problem of having it all the time.
The best way is to collect some and plant it artificially, but this approach doesn't work. The priest said they had already tried it.
Many of the herbs collected by the Four-Eyed Spirit Bird had roots, and they planted them directly, but without success.
I guessed it was the soil, so this time I planned to shovel away the grass and soil.
I took out the cloth bag, dug out two bags of soil, then shoveled down two piles of herbs, sealed them and hung them around my waist.
After finally coming here, I picked some valuable medicinal materials in the forest. No one came into this forest, so there are so many good things.
Rare medicinal materials that are thousands of years old are everywhere.
And I found that very few of them have been gnawed by bugs and animals, and the growing environment is too safe.
I used local materials to weave a basket with thin vines and let the little prince carry it on his back. I dug out a full basket of medicinal materials before leaving with satisfaction.
The outskirts of this forest are full of dangers, so no strangers should come near.
The forest is rich in resources, like a natural treasure house.
I feel like this is a man-made treasure house, not a natural one.
It's a pity that the dead land outside cannot be transformed by human power. At least based on the population of the Sky Eye Clan, nothing can be transformed at present.
The only way for them to come in is through the air, but except for the four-eyed spiritual bird, other birds cannot fly through.
Unless the four-eyed spiritual bird is used as a 'plane', this is like a dream to the Sky-Eyed Clan.
After digging for herbs, I discovered a golden river.
The river water is crystal clear, and there are golden things shining in the sand and stones.
I walked into the river, condensed the air into a 'spoon', dug out the golden sand and found the gold ore hidden in it.
Looking around, the whole river is full of these things.
I turned around and wanted to call the little prince and show him there was gold.
As a result, I saw him walking into the jungle. If he wanted to be more convenient, he should have told me. If he walked silently like this, I wouldn't be able to find him if he was picked up by a bobcat or wild dog.
"Baka!" I called out the name of his Sky Eye clan.
The priests and other tribesmen all called him this, and I thought it was pretty good, so I followed suit.
Because it’s very easy to remember, his brother’s name is Maca and his name is Baka.
Ordinarily, we were not far apart and he could hear me calling him.
But he still moved forward without looking back or responding.
I walked onto the shore, and he suddenly quickened his pace and started running in the jungle.
My air mask was still on him, so there was no way he could escape from my hands.
His body was trapped by the air mask and fixed in place. He struggled hard. I called him three times, but he didn't reply.
At this time I realized something was wrong and ran forward to check on him.
Suddenly there was an extra eye on his forehead. His eyes were closed tightly, and the third eye on his forehead was staring at me.
I checked his body and found that he was not parasitized and that this thing was not foreign, which really surprised me.
I checked his body before and found that there was indeed something in his brain. The composition was unknown, and it looked very much like the extra tissue that comes with the brain.
It's not right to say it's a tumor, nor does it look like something that grew up the day after tomorrow.
He had no other symptoms, and this thing was his own flesh, so I thought it was the 'six fingers' growing out of his head and didn't pay any attention to it.
This is just like most twins can grow separately, and occasionally a few will grow into one. It cannot be said that unexpected situations do not exist.
But now this thing is 'alive', it opened a slit on his forehead, got out of it, and stared at me like an intelligent being.
I have to admit that I still don't know enough.
This third eye seems to want to control Baka to go somewhere.
Since it's something growing on his head, it shouldn't harm him... right?
I let go of the mask's hold on him, wanting to see where this third eye would take him.
If Baka dies, can the third eye survive independently?
Baka regained his freedom and immediately ran deep into the jungle.
It was difficult for him to walk in the jungle when he was awake, but now when he ran, his dexterity could always accurately find the 'passage' between the plants and pass through it without tripping.
I don't need to chase after him. As long as the air shield is there, he has no hiding place in the forest.
I followed him into the depths of the jungle and saw a ruined building, which should be a city. It looked like it had been bombed, with only ruins remaining. However, there were no plants to cling to these building ruins, so they all avoided them.
So the ruins are very well preserved and the baka is parked in the square in the center of the city.
I rose to a high place and looked down at the entire ruins. I found that its layout was exactly the same as the Stone City of the Sky Eye Clan.
It’s just that Stone City is a streamlined, scaled-down version.
But the palaces, squares, houses and roads are all here and in Stone City, including the stone pillars and their positions remain unchanged.
I checked the life aura of the place and found it was lifeless.
Baka stood still in the square, as if entering a standby mode.
When I approached him, he suddenly spoke and read the text.
The content is that there is a password box hidden somewhere in the city. Those who are lucky enough to be here, please open it and rebuild their homes.
This is a text carved on the pillar.
It is not original, it is a new addition to the original pattern.
Like a message, the upper part of the stone pillar was broken and fell to the ground in pieces.
This text is at the bottom, a text I don’t recognize.
It is estimated that only the third eye can recognize it. It is responsible for identifying and reading, and Baka is responsible for translating and pronouncing it into the common languages of the four countries.
After Baka finished speaking, he stopped where he was and had no intention of looking for the box.
It seems that the third eye can only read words and does not know any more information.
I let out the air wire and explored the space on the ground and underground.
This project is quite big, and I even want to give up. The lockbox can be found later. If we don't go back, the antidote in the bag will wither.
After Baka was on standby for a period of time, his third eye gradually closed, and his normal eyes slowly opened.
Seeing his surroundings, he was startled and asked doubtfully: "Weren't we by the river just now?"
"Well...sit down first. I told you not to be afraid."
