Author: Original Seventh Generation

October 23, around 9 a.m.

A brand-new vehicle flew past, and it could reach more than 180 kilometers per hour on such uneven wasteland.

If you observe carefully, you can find that its wheels are actually more than ten centimeters away from the ground, and the entire vehicle is moving forward smoothly as if it is flying close to the ground.

"Buzz——"

The wind and waves rolled up the sand and rocks on the ground, and an arthropod with huge pincers suddenly flew up, but it missed the point and fell back to the ground in a daze.

"Little Skadi, look over there!" Ghost Shark greeted.

Skadi, who was chatting with Xia Lan, raised his head, and a glistening green was reflected in his crystal red pupils.

"Is that a rain forest...?" she asked, looking at the land that was completely different from this one in confusion.

Here is a wasteland with sparse vegetation, while over there is a rainforest full of creatures and water.

"It should be." Ghost Shark replied, marveling at the huge difference in scenery.

The book says it is related to the terrain and some operations of Source Stone energy, but it does not explain the real principle. It only says that people are still studying it.

The ghost shark licked his lips, then shifted into the highest gear and stepped on the power pedal.

The speed of the car skyrocketed again, reaching 220km/h, which is enough to make ordinary people turn pale, and it sped towards the rain forest ahead.

Various plants soon began to appear on the road, and the surrounding scene completely turned into a rainforest landscape within a distance of about three kilometers.

"Well... where should we go to see first?" Ghost Shark tilted his head and asked.

They planned to look for the tribes here on the way, but when they reached the outskirts of the rain forest, they realized that they couldn't find the way.

"I'll ask Xia Lan and let him check it for us..." Skati whispered.

After a moment of silence, her eyes lit up and she said: "According to Xia Lan, it seems that we can find a road by walking north around the edge of the rain forest, and then we can reach a settlement of rain forest residents by walking along the road.

.”

When the ghost shark heard this, he twisted the steering wheel roughly and the car drifted on the spot and sped out.

It didn't take long for them to find a road. Although it was a bit dilapidated, it looked like it was often passed by humans.

"It's a good thing that there is a road that can enter the rainforest, otherwise we would have to use the thing Xia Lan made for us." Ghost Shark sighed while driving.

"Hmm...but I think that...is quite fun?" Skadi said, tilting her head.

"It's fun, but you can't bring much with you." Ghost Shark shrugged slightly and drove into the rainforest.

The surrounding forests are filled with the sounds of feathered beasts and other beasts, some of which are pleasant, and some of which sound strange. The faces of the two travelers from the sea are full of novelty.

A beautifully colored bird landed on the rearview mirror next to Skadi, tilting its head and looking at her.

Skadi paused immediately, subconsciously holding his breath and looking at it.

It looked at her for a while and then left without doing anything.

The ghost shark glanced at the direction it left and couldn't think of any reason.

But, just a few seconds later, they all raised their eyebrows in unison - because they heard the sound of human conversation.

Although it is impossible for ordinary people to hear such a subtle sound with their naked ears, deep-sea hunters have turned it into an ordinary thing.

"Want to take a look?" Ghost Shark asked, tilting his head.

Skadi shook his head slightly and hesitated: "The bird just now didn't look like a bad thing, and they were exploring instead of resisting in the first place, so it should be fine, right?"

"Well, probably." Ghost Shark did not deny it, but his eyes still scanned the depths of the jungle without leaving any trace.

"One...two...three...and that bird..." She silently counted the number of "them" in her heart and estimated the distance between them.

She had taken it lightly when she was attacked and destroyed her vehicle, and she would not allow herself to make the same mistake again now.

After a while, nothing happened, but the sounds disappeared without a trace.

Skadi and Ghost Shark, who were full of doubts, could only continue to pay attention to the road conditions, but finally stopped in front of a large waterfall.

"this……"

The two were stunned, and Skadi could only continue to ask Xia Lan in her heart.

After a while, Skadi said: "It seems that if you go to the top of this waterfall, then walk a little further and you will find a larger tribe."

"Hmm...it seems to be Dr. Gavel's tribe?" She added with a blank look on her face.

The ghost shark raised his eyebrows when he heard this, with a look of surprise on his face - that doctor was one of the few who could get along with her after the restraint force, and his combat power was far beyond that of ordinary people!

If this was her tribe, it would be a fierce fighting tribe?

"Let's get out of the car and go there. The car's own shielding system is enough to survive in this wilderness for a few days... unless they intentionally damage it." Ghost Shark suggested.

Skadi hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and got out of the car, and took out two boards from the trunk with her.

The ghost shark pressed the remote control, and a large number of metal substances emerged from the bottom of the car, sinking deeply into the ground and wrapping the entire car.

"Didi." Pressed the switch on the board, and the two threw it to the ground. It turned into a hoverboard, which was very cool!

Xia Lan thought about this thing for two weeks, checked out many related books in the library, and came up with it based on her knowledge of watching science fiction movies in her previous life.

The same goes for the car's air travel system, which is much more energy-saving and stable than the first generation.

This liquid metal substance is purely using magic to shape the metal. It follows the prescribed procedures completely, but it has no technological content.

The two of them picked up their respective weapon cases, took a few daily necessities, stepped on the floating board and left leisurely.

It's just that...the two of them, plus their respective weapons, are still too heavy for the floating board, making it difficult for them to make any drastic moves.

"This is much easier to use than that stupid thing from Agor." Ghost Shark agreed with a rare gesture, and Skadi, who looked at Xia Lan for everything, naturally nodded in agreement.

…

After a while, they came to the waterfall, and after walking through the dense rain forest for a while, they saw a puff of smoke in the distance.

"Looks like we're getting there."

The wind was blowing fast, and their long hair was blown up by the moist wind. When paired with cool and elegant swimsuits, they looked quite artistic from a distance.

After a while, they stopped outside a settlement, but there was already someone waiting for them at the door.

"Are you two tourists?" the Adaklis (crocodile) asked politely.

His words made Skati and the two of them stunned. They thought they would encounter troubles such as language communication and habitual barriers, but they didn't expect that there would be a "tour guide" when they came up.

"Well, that's right, who are you?" Ghost Shark responded politely and elegantly, stepping off the floating board.

"I am the person in charge of this tribe's external material exchange, so I can speak the common language. Just call me Xisikaka." The middle-aged man responded with a smile and led them towards the tribe.

On the way, he also admitted very frankly that some tribesmen had come to explore them before, so he would wait for them at the door.

But unlike what the two imagined, there are a large number of metal buildings and tools here, and the modern industrial atmosphere and the rough tribal atmosphere are perfectly blended together.

You can see at a glance that this place is actually not backward.

"These things were all created by the patriarch of our tribe. Are they very different from what you imagined?" Sisikaka asked.

Skadi couldn't help but nodded slightly and replied: "That's true. We originally thought that this place would be a relatively backward situation..."

"It was like this a few years ago, but the changes have been huge in the past few years." Xisikaka said, narrowing his eyes with a little pride. He also had a part in this.

The three of them briefly chatted about the origins of these things, walked through the paths in the settlement, and headed towards a metal shed at the back.

A slightly weak resident walked by, and the ghost shark suddenly looked sideways, and then frowned tightly: "Ore sickness?"

Xisikaka looked at the words, then was stunned for a moment, and said slightly excitedly: "You also know about stone disease?"

"Yes, yes, and I know a lot." Skadi nodded and responded, calling Xia Lan, the all-weather automatic browser, from the bottom of her heart.

"I will take you to see the clan leader now. This matter is very important!" Hearing this, Xisikaka quickened his pace in awe.

After a while, Xixi Kaka opened the door of the warehouse and shouted inside: "Zumama! There are guests here, and they have a lot of understanding of stone disease!"

The creaking and clanging sounds that echoed in the warehouse suddenly stopped, and then a young girl named Phedea, wearing simple tulle, gloves, and a ring of tools wrapped around her waist, came out.

"Are you...new guests?" she asked doubtfully.

The two white-haired girls in front of her seemed to be about the same age as her, and they didn't look like scholars.

"Originally, I wanted to just have fun and be a guest, but I just noticed that there are patients with mineral sickness here, so I was brought here." Ghost Shark explained, and Skadi nodded slightly.

"Well..." Anaconda pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Thank you, our tribe will repay your help."

Her words were very straightforward, with a strong sense of simplicity from the rainforest tribe.

Anaconda led them to her workshop, stopped for a moment in front of a huge object covered with oilcloth, and then led them to a relatively clean and tidy room.

Xia Lan looked at Anaconda's very astringent figure through Skadi, and explained to her a lot of information about ore disease through Skadi's words.

He even went to the library to check out some of the herbal medicines available in the Sargon Rainforest, such as the cause of the disease, rescue measures, containment methods, and later analgesia.

Anaconda recorded the information from Skadi's mouth very carefully in his notebook. The more he listened, the more shocked he became.

It turns out that stone disease is something so easy and desperate...

It turns out that there are so many ways to reduce the suffering of the tribesmen...

It turns out that the origin of everything is mining...

…

That afternoon, she banned all mining operations and did her best to spread the knowledge to the tribe.

As a result, the two Skati received the highest level of treatment and were directly treated as guests.

There’s still one chapter left, and when I look back, I feel like it’s not very well written (crying)
Chapter completed!
