Dragon Clan: Undercover at the beginning, the road to becoming a god - Chapter 580 Avalon, lush towering trees, mother

“Didn’t I just say the reason or something?”

Lu Mingze spread his hands, indicating that he really only persuaded her to go back for Zero Undefeated Dog.

only–

“Isn’t that the whole reason?”

Nono asked.

To be honest, Lu Mingze’s persuasion was indeed very reasonable, so much so that even Nono regretted whether she should have run out to perform the mission. She felt even more regretful after seeing Zero run back decisively.

Could it be that when she returned, she found out that not only Xia Mi had a daughter, but Ling also had a daughter, right?

After a moment of heartache, she thought that even if she went back, she would have little chance. There seemed to be no relationship between whether Zero could succeed and whether she could succeed.

After realizing this, she calmed down and noticed Lu Mingze’s problem.

“Okay, okay, profiling is a really troublesome thing.”

When Nuonuo asked and looked wary, Lu Mingze shrugged and said honestly.

“Don’t worry, I have no intention of harming you, otherwise Su Mo wouldn’t have entrusted me to carry out the mission with you. The reason why I sent that guy away is just because the risk of you two entering here at the same time is too great.”

“What’s the risk?”

Nuonuo’s face was full of doubts.

“You don’t need to know this. You just need to know that this option is the safest for Su Mo.”

Lu Mingze didn’t say much.

From his attitude, Nono judged that Lu Mingze was not lying. Considering that Su Mo also trusted Lu Mingze himself, he temporarily lowered his guard.

At this time, a chill spread from all around the body to the spinal cord.

“Ah sneeze!”

After being soaked in the water for a long time, Nono sneezed and then thought of business.

“So, it’s time for us to go in, right?”

If she soaked any longer, she felt like she would be frozen.

“Well, you can just go in.”

Lu Mingze nodded.

Hearing this, Nuonuo immediately touched the Hela mark in his body and disappeared. Lu Mingze’s figure also disappeared.

After all three people left, the crew of the YAMAL seemed to have woken up from a dream and shuddered as they looked at the empty deck.

“What’s going on, where are the guests?”

Sasha’s voice was a little trembling. If the guests were lost, it would be a big problem. The family behind the guests who were willing to spend millions of dollars to see the iceberg didn’t mind spending millions to get rid of them who had neglected their duties. Kill the crew.

Other crew members also fell into panic and came to the deck one after another to see if the guest had jumped into the sea. When they were at a loss, the satellite phone on the ship rang.

“Hello, I am the EVA who booked services with you before. Your task has been completed. Please return to the port as soon as possible and do not stay where you are. The balance will be credited to your account in ten minutes.”

The girl’s voice that had had an impression sounded again, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief at what she said.

In any case, it would be a good thing not to hold them accountable.

After hanging up the phone, the crew members looked at each other and looked at the empty deck, suddenly feeling a little scared.

“So where did those two guests go? If they suddenly disappeared in the ice and snow, we couldn’t be carrying other people, right?”

“Shut up! We don’t know anything, we don’t know anything, let’s go back and drink!”

Sasha was unsure, but he did not let the panic spread and called the crew members into the cabin.

Don’t watch, listen or think, only in this way can you live longer.

On the Arctic Ocean, the world’s largest nuclear-powered icebreaker immediately increased its power and cut through the deep blue sea like a sharp arrow, heading back in the direction it was headed.

·

“Crack! Crack!”

Nono walked on the beach with soaked shoes.

After touching the mark, she was transferred directly to the beach around the island.

According to Lu Mingze’s previous explanation, the stone island Avalon is originally under the sea, but just like Bikini Beach in SpongeBob SquarePants, the islands under the sea are actually no different from normal islands, and the air is even fresher. .

Lu Mingze disappeared after entering Avalon. Nono was used to this kind of treatment. After waiting for a while, he realized that the other party must be hiding again.

Looking up, you can see the dark blue sky. If you look carefully, you can even see the lines like sea water. Looking down, there seems to be a faint golden light deep in the seabed, as if the sun is about to set.

After noticing these details, Nono panicked. Considering that the Avalon she saw was an upside-down shadow, she suspected that what looked like the sky above her head was actually the bottomless sea, and that the sea under her feet was actually the bottomless sea. In the real sky, up and down are directly reversed here.

If she went in the wrong direction when leaving, she might sink into the tens of millions of tons of Arctic Ocean water. Fortunately, with the bracelet Su Mo gave her, the pressure of the deep sea was not fatal to her.

Thinking like this, Nono moved his eyes to the island in front of him while taking action.

As seen before, the island is dotted with towering trees. Ordinary trees may take hundreds of years or even a thousand years to grow to a height of one hundred meters, but trees of this height can be seen everywhere, and the closer they get to the island. The higher the center.

However, these towering trees, which were a wonder to see outside, failed to attract Nono’s attention at first sight.

What caught her eye the most was the towering tree in the center of the island that had to be tilted up to see completely. Its presence even towered over the entire island.

Nono didn’t know how many meters this giant tree was, but against the background of this truly towering tree, the other big trees were as short as weeds or bushes.

Its height reminded Nono of the building in mythology that connects heaven and earth. It is the ladder that connects heaven and earth.

However, its appearance is not similar to the straight trees in the legend. On the contrary, this towering giant tree has very prosperous branches and leaves. Its lush green shade is like a canopy, covering almost half of the island.

It was at the beach that Nono had the opportunity to see the full view of this huge tree. If she stepped into the stone island, she would probably not be able to see anything except the dense shade of trees that completely covered the sky. Less than.

“strangeness……”

Looking at the giant trees gathered in the center of the island, Nono felt a little confused.

It stands to reason that the closer you are to a big tree, the harder it is for other trees to survive, because the big tree will take away most of the sunlight. But on this island, this law is reversed. The closer the tree is to the giant tree, the longer it will grow. The higher the height, the shorter the trees on the edge of the island become.

why is that?

Is it because photosynthesis is not important on this island? Or is it because the nutrients these trees need to grow are more in the center of the island?

Not being able to get an answer for the time being, she kept this question in her mind and raised her head again to look at the lush giant tree, another question welling up in her heart.

“Why does it feel familiar?”

Have you seen similar shapes somewhere?

After thinking briefly to no avail, she continued walking towards the interior of the island. Whether it was to save her mother or to help Senior Su Mo, she had decided to go to this dragon’s den.

Crossing the beach and entering the jungle, Nono felt more and more frightened the deeper he went, and goosebumps appeared inexplicably.

At first she didn’t know why she was feeling restless. It wasn’t until a while later that she realized the problem – it was too quiet here.

It was an island with a warm and comfortable climate, but she couldn’t hear the sound of any birds or squirrels. She tried digging into the ground and found that there were not even earthworms or insects here, as if all life had been completely extinct.

It was such a dense jungle, but it was like a dead cemetery, lifeless.

“Ah sneeze!”

She was already chilling and sneezed.

“This is Senior Su Mo’s mission. I still want to see my mother! I can’t back down, I can’t back down, I can’t back down!”

Touching the bracelet given by Su Mo, Nono muttered in a low voice to drive away her cowardice. Not long after, she came to a stone staircase. It was obvious that this was a road specially created by humans.

Nono looked up and saw that the stone stairs led up to the center of the island and down to the edge of the island.

With her profiling instinct activated, she closed her eyes and felt it for two seconds before confirming the function of this stone staircase.

“Significant, solemn, and fanatical… This is a road built to meet God!”

Since the top is to meet God, the bottom is naturally a gathering place for humans – if there are really humans here.

Here, Nono faces a small decision. Should he go up and help Su Mo investigate the plans of the Holy Palace Medical Society? Or should he go down and find his mother first?

After some hesitation, she took a step upwards.

Mother is naturally the most important thing, but Senior Su Mo has to repay the kindness, even if it is not repaid at all.

As soon as she took a step, a little boy wearing a black suit and black leather shoes appeared in front of her, blocking her way.

“I suggest you change the direction! Although there is nothing wrong with the idea of ​​giving priority to repaying Su Mo, the time is wrong now, and those big guys are preparing to return to their nest!”

This little boy is naturally Lu Mingze.

“Big guy? Returning to the nest?”

Nono was stunned for a moment. Are there any dangerous creatures on this island?

Just as he was about to ask, Lu Mingze’s figure had disappeared again, obviously not intending to explain himself.

After hesitating for a moment, Nono chose to listen to the advice, turned around and walked down.

Halfway through, she saw a huge white gauze curtain fluttering in the wind on the side of the road. It looked a bit like the bags used to hold fertilizers such as urea in China.

Just as she was about to investigate carefully, a rustling sound suddenly came from not far away.

Nono immediately became vigilant. There were no birds or insects on this island, and she had not seen any animals before. If there were any living creatures, apart from humans, the only ones left were the big guys Lu Mingze mentioned.

After thinking about it, she slid the mechanism on the bracelet given by Su Mo, activated the alchemy field [Mingzhao], and followed her up quietly.

After arriving about ten meters near the sound source, Nono showed a surprised expression. She heard a human voice!

After daring to continue approaching, she saw two women wearing clothes as spacious as cassocks. The women looked to be in their twenties. They were mumbling something as they walked, with sad faces. I encountered some difficulty.

The two of them spoke very fast, which sounded like local slang, but Nono didn’t frown because of it, but his eyes lit up.

She could understand the language they spoke, it was Punjabi!

The first official language of India is Hindi, which is the common language in the country. About half of the people in India can speak Hindi, and more than 80% of the people can understand Hindi.

However, although it is spoken by more people than English in the country, due to colonial influence, the Indian elite still prefers English and lists it as the second official language. In many cases, English has a higher status than Hindi.

Generally, it is enough to learn English when traveling to India. Not many people would go out of their way to learn Hindi, let alone Punjabi, which is considered a dialect even in India.

But Nono is different, she has really learned this language.

Because this is the language her mother uses.

After her mother fell into a deep sleep and became a vegetative state, she always regretted why she didn’t learn the language well, so that she missed the only opportunity to communicate with her mother, so she desperately began to learn Indian dialects, not only Hindi or Punjabi but also Proficient in Assamese.

I thought that this skill would have no use before my mother woke up, but I didn’t expect that it would come in handy this time.

After following them for a while, she understood what they were discussing. They were complaining that they had no harvest this time and would be hungry again when they returned.

One woman said that she should borrow it from Alush’s mother. The other woman said that she had borrowed it two or three times in the past few days and was embarrassed to go back. Since there were more adults, they couldn’t have enough to eat.

Upon hearing such disrespectful words, the woman’s companion immediately panicked and told her to shut up. After looking around, she lowered her voice and whispered.

“You dare to speak ill of adults and risk your life? I also know that it’s not good to go to Alush’s place to borrow money, but you can’t go to the adults’ place to exchange blood for food, right? Who knows if they are using some terrible witchcraft? ! Samaira has been lying in bed unable to wake up since she went there last time. If Alush hadn’t given her his fruit, she would have almost died here!”

When it comes to death, the two women’s eyes are filled with fear.

Short words contain a huge amount of information, no matter what kind of information it is, it is worth exploring.

Nuonuo indeed remembered these words in her heart, but she didn’t have much time to think at the moment. After hearing the familiar name from the two of them, she was completely stunned.

Alush is her mother’s name, which means light.

Before that, Su Mo guessed that her mother was most likely on this island. When she made the choice, she chose to go up because she wanted to repay Su Mo, but a small part of the reason was that she was timid about being close to home and was afraid that she would not be able to find her. to his mother.

But after hearing the names from the two people’s mouths, she was overwhelmed by great surprise.

Although she did not see her in person, she believed that the woman who was extremely gentle and trusted by both of them must be her mother!

Thinking that she would soon be able to meet the mother she had longed for, Nono became excited, and her dark red eyes shone brightly, as if she had suddenly floated into the clouds.

Before that, she had had a similar reaction only when she saw Su Mo.

If Su Mo is the sky that can ignite her longing and make her yearn for, then her mother is the warmest harbor in her heart, able to tolerate everything about her without the need for words… This is someone who is willing to give up his life and transfer life to himself. People!

In such an excited situation, she was unable to think about other things. She just followed the footsteps of the two women with great expectation, imagining the scene of meeting her mother.

Time passed by, and the sky became completely dark. Although there was no sun and moon, there was still the concept of day and night here.

Nono followed the two women until late at night, and saw the two women walking around under the big tree, seemingly trying to collect fallen fruits.

Nuonuo couldn’t help but feel a good feeling.

Obviously, neither of them wanted to trouble others too much. As long as there was a slight possibility, they still wanted to try their luck to find the fruit, but they were not very lucky and never found it.

Nuonuo wanted to help, but he couldn’t find any fruit when he looked up, even dozens of meters up.

So, there are so many people living here? Food is so stressful?

After a moment of doubt, she touched the compressed food she carried in her backpack, hesitated, and finally didn’t show up.

This food looked like it belonged to outsiders. She didn’t know how these women treated outsiders, but she didn’t want to alert them before meeting her mother.

After following the two for two or three hours, the two frustrated women finally returned to where they lived.

As soon as they entered the camp that looked like a wooden house, they saw a burning bonfire, and a woman standing in front of the bonfire with a concerned look on her face, holding two light red fruits the size of potatoes, waiting for them.

The excuses between the three women did not attract Nono’s attention, nor did Nono pay any attention to the two women’s backs holding the fruit with shame and gratitude on their faces as they left.

Looking at the woman in front of the strong bonfire, who was extremely familiar, extremely young, and looked exactly like the first time he met when he was young, water mist condensed silently in Nono’s eyes.

She opened her mouth slightly and let out an undetectable call in a hoarse tone.

“Mother!”
