Alien Dust

Chapter 28: Soul Roost, Something is Wrong

……

Wu Hen conducted several inspections and confirmed that there were no unstable factors around the Tropical Pavilion.

Staying with his family, Wu Hen felt firsthand how rare this tranquility was.

To be honest, Wu Hen hoped that everything that happened before was just a nightmare and that everything could go back to the way it was before, with the family eating together, him playing with his sister whenever he had time, and having the housekeeper make his bed in the middle of the night.

"Brother, aren't you sleepy?" Yu Yu was lying on the simple bed, with her head tilted and her hair tied into two cute ponytails.

"You go to sleep, I'll keep an eye on you." Wu Hen said.

Sleepiness had already come over him, but Wu Hen had a premonition.

Once he fell asleep, he would most likely wake up in that alien wasteland, and he felt really reluctant.

"Da da da~"

Yu Yu was barefoot, but she finally squeezed onto Wu Hen's narrow bed, and her petite body nestled in Wu Hen's arms.

"I'll stay with you and wait for you to wake up." Yu Yu told Wu Hen.

Wu Hen laughed, patted her head, and comforted her: "Actually, I was most worried about you before, but after seeing you complete that arrow, I felt more at ease... This made me believe that even without me by your side, you can protect yourself."

"I will also try my best and not cause any trouble to anyone." Yu Yu said sensibly.

Wu Hen hugged her and listened to her slowly calming breathing.

After a while, the snoring sound like a kitten was heard. My sister had fallen asleep.

Wu Hen stood up decisively and climbed onto Yu Yu's simple bed.

Although he was very sleepy, Wu Hen still forced himself to stay awake.

Just at this moment, Wu Hen suddenly felt some discomfort in his eyes, and then a line of subtitles appeared in front of him.

what's going on?
I ate too many mushrooms.

Smash the barrage that appears out of nowhere?

"Student Wu Hen, I received news that you have woken up from the desert again."

Wu Hen quickly realized that he was still wearing the virtual iris.

After that thing was integrated into the eyeball, there was no discomfort. Wu Hen was so busy that he almost forgot about it.

He didn't expect that this virtual iris could also be used as a communicator.

Wu Hen blinked twice and then spoke in a low voice.

Sure enough, his words turned into text and were transmitted in a way that he did not understand.

"Is she a beauty?"

"Just call me Ming Yi. Is the environment you are in now safe?"

“It’s safe.”

"You are in the Fanshan District of Licheng, right?" Ming Yi asked.

"Yes." Wu Hen responded.

"Where are you in Huangchen?" Ming Yi asked.

"In the soul flower of a soul-dwelling tree." Wu Hen said.

"So, you also came back through the Soul Resting Tree?" Ming Yi said.

"Is there any problem?" Wu Hen asked puzzledly.

This thing called Yuan You is obviously not found in Huangchen.

"Your hearing is very strong. I will release a kind of green cicada while walking in the wilderness. If you hear the call of the green cicada in the wilderness, please follow the cicada. This way you can find our team. Um... we need your hearing ability." Ming Yi said.

"I am still some distance away from the goddess Nuwa..." Wu Hen said.

"If you are in the Soul Resting Tree, it means you are not too far away from us. It seems that we can meet in the Wasteland earlier." Ming Yi gave a playful smile.

"Actually, I'm looking forward to meeting you here." Wu Hen said.

"There will be a chance."

Wu Hen closed his eyes and just wanted to be quiet.

But Wu Hen was overwhelmed by sleepiness and felt like his eyeballs were going to explode if he didn't sleep.

Oh, forget it, there’s no point in struggling, just face reality!

Wu Hen did not resist any more, and let his sleepiness carry his consciousness away, dragging him into another vast dimension...

"elder brother?"

"elder brother?"

Yu Yu woke up somehow and ran to Wu Hen's bed, trying to wake him up.

But Wu Hen had already sunk completely, and no matter how he was shaken he could not wake up.

Yu Yu's eyes immediately became moist, and she squeezed onto the small bed unwillingly, still wanting to stay in Wu Hen's arms.

For a moment, Yu Yu also wished that he could follow his brother into that damn dimension, no matter how dangerous it was, as long as he could stay with his brother.

……

Among the flowers, colorful flowers fluttered into the air in a gust of wind.

But they did not go with the wind. Instead, they flapped their petals like dragonflies, overcame the wind and flew back to the flowers.

On the Soul Tree, a huge soul flower was slowly withering. Its petals fell to the ground and quickly turned into dust and mud.

In the soul flower, a man opened his eyes. He looked at the beautiful flower valley around him calmly and somewhat lostly. In the end, he couldn't help but curse: "I knew that the Bull Demon would be like this!"

It perfectly matches Wu Hen’s guess.

If I return to my homeland through the Soul Resting Tree, then as soon as I fall asleep in my homeland, I will be forced to log off.

Surfing in Homeland is so cool. I really don’t want to face this desolate reality!

The sound of cicadas came from outside the flower valley, and Wu Hen, who had a super sense of hearing, caught the sound at the first moment!
Is that really the sound of a cicada?
It turns out that I am so close to the beautiful Ming Yi?

We are finally going to meet in the wilderness!
Wu Hen couldn't help but feel a little excited. After all, he had been recognized by Ming Yi's team, which meant he had finally made it to the shore. Even in the wilderness, he still wanted to get a taste of the emperor's food!
"Beauty, I'm here!"

Wu Hen didn't waste any time, he stood up and walked towards the flower valley.

But after taking a few steps, Wu Hen glanced at the other soul flower that was about to wither when he thought of the large and small bags of things he had to carry by himself.

The maid still needs to be brought along.

At least she had mastered the skill of collecting pure food.

I am indeed more suitable to be the fighting force in the team. Letting Cha Cha do the trivial matters can save a lot of trouble.

Not short of this amount of time.

Wu Hen simply stood aside and waited for a while.

After taking a look at himself by the stream, Wu Hen was surprised to find that his face was 70% similar to his own!

Wow, I’m surfing the Internet in the private room of Hunhua, and it has the effect of plastic surgery!
No!

When Yang Qin wakes up, he will definitely recognize that he is her male classmate of two and a half years. How can he still treat her like a slave?
Maintaining a sense of mystery and strangeness will bring more awe.

"Xiaoyi, can your new ability give me some cool decorations on my face?" Wu Hen asked.

Xiaoyi also understood, and soon white crystal whiskers seeped out from Wu Hen's cheeks, like a flexible and fitting silver mask, covering the upper half of Wu Hen's face!

Wu Hen looked at himself in the stream again.

perfect!

Evil, charming and wild, that's me!

"Don't sleep, don't sleep, never sleep..." At this time, someone's mumbling could be heard from the Soul Resting Tree.

Wu Hen raised his head and saw that the soul flower had completely withered, while Yang Qin was still muttering frantically and did not get up, as if as long as she did not open her eyes, she was still at home.

There was no other choice, Wu Hen had to climb up and "bang bang bang" a few times to wake her up.

"Ah...you are...big brother!" Yang Qin was shocked, but finally found a sense of familiarity from the handsome and evil face.

"It's me. Pack your things and let's go." Wu Hen said calmly.

"Brother, why have you mutated? Are you still a human?" Yang Qin didn't understand why this mysterious brother had such a mysterious facial decoration on his face.

"It's just a decoration. Don't waste time. I have something important to tell you." Wu Hen said.

"But……"

"Don't waste your time. I've tried. A soul tree can only be used once. Don't expect to return home by visiting other blooming soul flowers."

"Oh, oh, wait for me." Yang Qin faced the reality, hurriedly put on her bags, and followed the man who was becoming more and more mysterious.

……

Following the sound of cicadas, Wu Hen walked into a forest.

The vegetation in the mountains and forests has strange colors, like a kaleidoscope, and it is not even static.

Wu Hen believed that the forest was in a state of flow like a river. Stepping in here an hour ago and stepping in here an hour later might be completely different!
Fortunately, the cicada's chirping was very clear and had strong penetrating power, so Wu Hen would not go wrong as long as he followed it.

Along the way, Wu Hen saw many bizarre creatures. They had their own survival rules. It wasn't that they were not powerful or scary, but that humans were not their prey...

"Is it the stone valley in front?" Yang Qin asked.

This journey actually took a very long time.

Yang Qin was already exhausted.

Wu Hen himself had not expected that although he could hear the cicada's chirping clearly, it was very far away. It felt like he and Yang Qin had been walking in the forest for two days and two nights...

Fortunately, his soul has been cleansed in the Soul Dwelling Tree, and the infection will be reduced by being close to the Nuwa Goddess. Otherwise, Wu Hen would think that Yang Qin still has her charm!

"At this."

Wu Hen finally found the green cicada on the trunk of a strange tree.

To others, the sound of cicadas is very normal, but to Wu Hen, it is no different from a locator.

Wu Hen deliberately grabbed it with his hands and found that this green cicada was not a living creature, but actually a sophisticated mechanical insect.

Wow, the beautiful Mingyi is using high technology!
"Brother, brother, look at the Stone Valley, there is also a soul-dwelling tree!!" Suddenly, Yang Qin shouted excitedly.

Wu Hen walked to a place with a wide view, looked into the stone valley, and actually saw a soul-dwelling tree.

This soul-dwelling tree looks like it’s about to wither, and its vitality is not as strong as the previous one.

"Don't shout, there are other people down there." Wu Hen glared at Yang Qin.

"That should be our fellow villager. After I woke up in my home, I informed the higher-ups about the news that the Soul Resting Tree could allow everyone to return. They attached great importance to this information and said they would take special care of me..." Yang Qin said.

"Then these people heard the news and came back to find Hunqi Mu on purpose." Wu Hen touched his chin.

"Yes, yes, we can go back home again!" Yang Qin was still a little excited. She didn't expect that this time it would be so smooth and she found another soul-resting tree.

"I still have a mission to complete." Wu Hen said.

I want to go and meet Ming Yi.

Although such a short return home could provide spiritual comfort, Wu Hen thought more long-term.

"I can't do it anymore. I have to go quickly, otherwise there will be no place for us in Soul Flower..." Yang Qin said.

"Wait a moment!"

Suddenly, Wu Hen saw an incredible scene.

A large amount of white mycelium appeared at the bottom of the soul flower on the soul tree. These mycelium were wriggling like seaweed worms. As someone entered the soul flower to sleep, the white mycelium inserted into the flower bud like a tube...

The soul flowers here don’t seem like life capsules that protect humans, but more like containers for white worms to parasitize!
Wu Hen couldn't help but gasp!
There's something wrong with this soul resting tree!!
In an instant, Wu Hen thought of the half-human with insect pupils who had infiltrated his home! !
