Chapter 8 Chapter Eight

Under Jie'er's careful care, Lan Ruisi's injury healed very quickly, and it didn't take long for Lan Ruisi to act as usual. In the past few days, Leier and the others have started planning to search for supplies at the edge of the Time Demon Realm again, because the last operation failed and several people were damaged, and they also failed to retrieve the supplies. Similarly, Lan Ruisi also asked Rael to go together. "Your injury is just right," Leier said with a frown, "Why don't you?" "I'm on the same boat as you now," Lan Ruisi said with emotion, "There's no reason not to contribute, and I think it should be more efficient to do things with one more person!"

Rael thought about it and nodded. And if Lan Ruisi was going, of course Jieer would go too.With Leier's acquiescence, the two have become like a couple in love, unable to do without each other all the time. The preparations for this search for supplies were soon completed. For the sake of combat power, Leier picked a few more people, a group of about 30 people, and set off to the edge of the Demon Realm in a mighty way. Lan Ruisi estimated that this trip took about three days, and he did not encounter any situations along the way, nor did he encounter any mechanical beasts. After reaching the edge, the team easily found a lot of food and supplies everywhere, and it didn't take long to fill their bags.

And at such a close distance, Lan Ruisi finally had a chance to take a closer look at the terrifying "Forest of Time" that Rael called. Indeed, looking at it from a close distance, the Forest of Time really seems to have infinite demon power, which makes people shudder at first glance. The huge light blue light band hangs down from the clouds like a snake, and it is only visible when viewed closely. It was found that there were clusters of sharp thorns growing on the snake-like light bands, which moved in rows on the surface of the light bands from time to time. "Look, there seems to be something behind!" Jie'er pointed to the Forest of Time and said with a pale face.

Sure enough, behind the clumps of light bands, like bars for prisoners, the bunches of light bands are like fences, and behind the fences, there are faint figures swaying there viciously. In the distance, Leier and a few people packed the last batch of things and shouted to the two of them. "Hey! Go back!" Lan Ruisi turned her head and wanted to respond to them, but was frightened by the scene in front of her. On top of them, a gigantic mechanical beast is silently appearing. This mechanical beast is much bigger than its previous opponent. At this moment, it is slowly rising behind Leier and the others. The stature is already about three stories high, but the rising trend still hasn't stopped.

After all, Leier is a fighter who has experienced many obstacles here, and when he saw Lan Ruisi's dumbfounded expression, he already guessed that there was a terrible situation behind him. So without looking back, she took out a quantum bullet from her body and threw it back.Jumping obliquely, threw several companions to the ground, and several of them rolled down the ruins where they were. With a "poof", the quantum bullet emitted an oval-shaped purple light, as if an extremely bright lamp had been lit, and even the sound was very similar. Then, there was a loud bang, which was so shocking that even Lan Ruisi and the others were knocked to the ground.The huge mechanical beast let out a mournful cry, and began to struggle violently on the ground, shaking the debris of the ruins flying all over the sky.

Although the quantum bullet thrown by Rael was powerful, the beetle-like mechanical beast was astonishingly large, so only the left third of it was blown up, and the other parts were not damaged. "Let's go!" Leier and a few team members stumbled and fled in all directions, and the other team members who were scattered around also hurriedly avoided. Lan Ruisi and Jie'er were far away, but they didn't dare to neglect, and hurried to the place where the team members gathered. However, at this moment, an astonishing change occurred. The mechanical beast that was blown up by one-third of Rael suddenly stretched out its remaining wings, staggered and flew a few meters away from the ground, fell heavily again, and after falling, it flew up clumsily again.

Then, it suddenly stretched out a long steel cable with teeth and claws in the air, and twisted in all directions. And one of the steel cables stretched behind Lan Ruisi. Lan Ruisi didn't know what was going on behind him, but Jie'er turned her head and saw the ugly steel cable twisting towards Lan Ruisi. "Don't!" Jie'er screamed, turned around, pushed Lan Ruisi down with a desperate push. Then, the steel cable entangled her layer by layer and dragged her off the ground. Lan Ruisi fell to the ground and turned over violently, just in time to see Jie'er leaving the ground.

"No!" he yelled hoarsely. However, this kind of roar is completely useless to the mechanical beast, only Jie'er's body is entangled by the steel cable, getting farther and farther away from the ground. At this time, Leier and several team members had come over, with powerful attacking weapons in their hands, but they dared not attack at all because they were afraid of throwing rats. Lan Ruisi seemed to be going crazy, running on the flat ground, trying to catch up with the stumbling giant mechanical beast. The giant beetle-like mechanical beast flew into the sky again, but because of the unbalanced sides, it kept rolling in the sky. Every time it rolled, Lan Ruisi's heart seemed to jump out of its mouth.

Then, the mechanical beast suddenly stalled in the air and slanted down to the ground. "Stop!" Rael also yelled crazily, and the quantum gun in his hand finally fired. "It will fall in!" However, the beam of the quantum gun failed to hit the mechanical beast, and Jie'er was entangled in the steel cable, and she was a little dizzy after several rolls. While the world was spinning, she saw Lan Ruisi on the ground and started crying loudly. "Save me! Save me!" Lan Ruisi heard her cry for help, and her whole body seemed to be broken and unable to stand.

And Leier and the few people behind him also opened their mouths wide, staring blankly, unable to do anything. Because, as if in slow motion, the out-of-control mechanical beast stalled and fell from the air, the angle was deflected, and it cut straight into the time forest not far away like an accurate hit. The forest of time that no one can come back alive. After the mechanical beast and Jie'er fell into the Forest of Time, the whole space suddenly fell silent, as if the chaos just stopped abruptly, like a lie, it never happened. Several people were still standing there in a daze, and no one had the means to react to this sudden change.

After a long time, Lan Ruisi burst into tears, his legs softened, and he fell to his knees. Rael's lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but she held back. She turned around and looked at the monstrous huge light belt. At this moment, the Forest of Time was like a nonchalant evil demon, laughing at a group of helpless people there. The figures of several people stood in the distance in front of the time forest, like a few solitary straws in the sea. Lan Ruisi is still like a clay sculpture and wood carving, with tears streaming down his face, staring at the Forest of Time in a daze. Not long ago, this devilish forest devoured his most beloved person. Leier looked at him quietly from the side, as if thinking about a very difficult matter to decide. After a long time, she took a deep breath and called Lan Ruisi with great determination. "Hey!" no answer.Lan Ruisi felt that he had been hollowed out, and his soul was no longer in the body. "Lan Ruisi," Rael said, "I thought of one thing." Lan Ruisi still ignored her, but Rael knew that if he said another word, he would jump up like an electric shock. "I might know how to get Jie'er back." Lan Ruisi turned his back to her, opened his eyes suddenly, and then turned his head to look at her as if possessed. "I mean," Leier said in a deep voice, "I might know how to get Jie'er back, but whether you do it or not is entirely up to you." "Tell me!" Lan Ruisi shouted, his voice was already hoarse, and he was exhausted from crying, "I will definitely do it." "Do you remember, my father once asked me to tell you something," Leier said, "Do you remember?" Lan Ruisi looked at her with a puzzled expression. "He said: 'If you lose your true love, it is the most difficult place in Death Valley, and you have to get it back!'" Leier did say this sentence, but she didn't mention who told her when she said it.It turned out that this sentence also came from that mysterious father of Leyle! "If you lose your true love, even the most difficult and dangerous place in Death Valley, you have to find it!" Leier's eyes flashed with determination, "This is the method I want to tell you." "You mean..." Lan Ruisi opened his mouth wide, pointing at the terrifying Time Forest. "Of course, whether you want to go or not is your own choice," Leyle said: "Don't forget, no one who entered the Forest of Time has ever been able to come back alive. And according to the legend of time travel, even if it can be successful, time travel is still impossible." It was very painful, like the pain of tearing the whole body alive." Lan Ruisi looked at her, suddenly laughed loudly, strode over, and hugged Leier heavily, the strength of her hand made Leier almost unable to breathe. Then he jumped up and walked towards the Time Forest without looking back. Several members of the Amazong army were taken aback, and called Lan Ruisi's name loudly, trying to stop him from doing this terrible and stupid thing. However, Lan Ruisi still didn't look back, just waved with his back to them. Suddenly, Leier stood on a higher place, shouted loudly at Lan Ruisi, and laughed loudly. "Hello!" Her voice was clear and spread far away, "Lan Ruisi, I still have something to tell you!" Lan Ruisi stopped and turned around. At this time, he was about ten steps away from Leier and the others. Looking at Leier from a distance, he found that she had also shed tears. This woman who was as strong as steel and as calm as ice actually shed tears. "And my father said," she cried aloud, "that you will be able to bring her back!" Lan Ruisi raised her hands high, bowed down like an ancient European gentleman, and took her words as a friendly comfort. "Also," Leier continued to yell loudly, her voice was a little hoarse because she yelled too hard: "I'm the same as you, my surname is Lan, and my name is Lan Li'er!" Lan Ruisi showed a puzzled expression from a distance, because he had no idea what Leier meant by saying these words. "Go!" Leier smiled, but shed tears again, "You must come back!" Under everyone's rapt attention, Lan Ruisi's small figure gradually approached the light belt of the Time Forest, and when he entered the range of the light belt, he could still be seen speeding up his pace when he reached the closest place without any hesitation. . Then, as if he jumped, his figure disappeared in the band of light. And one of the team members occasionally remembered in the years to come that the moment when Lan Ruisi jumped into the light belt may also be one of the most beautiful scenes in the history of human civilization.
