The entire school embarks on a survival journey, starting from a primeval rainforest.
Chapter 137 Relief, Meal, Temple
"It's growing! It's getting taller and taller!"
"My God, with that ability, wouldn't we never go hungry?!"
"This is incredible! It feels like it's about to blossom and bear fruit!"
When Jiang Fan arrived near the crowd of people who were exclaiming in surprise, he realized that Freya was actually accelerating the ripening of a field of corn seedlings.
The corn seedlings, which were originally only a dozen centimeters tall, were growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, stimulated by her greenish-blue light.
In a short time, it grew to about knee height.
Jiang Fan noticed that the "alien princess on the run" was sweating more and more, and her face was even paler than when she was in the clinic. Even the light green veins under her skin had become more prominent.
Clearly, the process of ripening crops is no less demanding on her than treating patients.
However, faced with the praise of a group of people, she was clearly a little carried away and showed no intention of stopping what she was doing.
"Alright, alright, Freya and I have some things to discuss, everyone please disperse." Jiang Fan quickly pushed through the crowd, stopping her from continuing.
He had originally planned to let Freya rest for a while before helping Lin Feng and Nangong Yue with their treatment, but now it had to be postponed again.
Fortunately, the two were no longer in mortal danger; the only question was whether they could fully recover and resume normal activities as soon as possible.
Just like Ding Hang now, he has to go back to work as soon as he recovers.
In a sense, it might be better to be seriously injured for a while, at least then you can continue to laze around in bed!
With Freya still somewhat excited, the two of them went to the kitchen. They got a large pot of stewed tomato and meat, two large bowls of rice, a large plate of pickled wild vegetables, and a small plate of wild fruit. Then they went to the dining hall next door to eat.
Although Jiang Fan was not seriously injured in the battle with the werewolves of the Thunder Wolf tribe, he expended a great deal of energy.
Right now, I needed food to replenish my energy. After finding a spot and getting a seat, I didn't stand on ceremony with Freya and started taking big bites of noodles.
Fortunately, Ding Rui knew that those who had broken through to the Spirit Body level often got hungry, so she kept food warm in the pot at all times; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so convenient.
Jiang Fan still remembers that when Ding Rui mentioned this matter, her exact words were: "Knowing that you guys are all quick to anger, it's really tough on the sisters..."
At that moment, Jiang Fan really wanted to teach this woman a lesson for pushing her luck and recklessly speeding.
But Jiang Fan had only taken a few bites of rice when he realized something was wrong.
Putting aside Freya's lack of skill with chopsticks, although her movements were somewhat clumsy, her strong body control allowed her to quickly learn how to pick up food with chopsticks.
Jiang Fan noticed that while he had finished his half-bowl of rice, Freya hadn't eaten a single piece of meat.
Instead, they ate quite a lot of rice, pickled vegetables, and wild fruits.
"Don't you like the taste of this meat?" Jiang Fan asked.
"I..." Faced with Jiang Fan's question, Freya hesitated for the first time, even feeling helpless and embarrassed.
After a long silence, she slowly said, "We forest elves do not eat meat..."
As she said this, she kept her head down, like a child who had done something wrong.
"ah?!"
Jiang Fan was taken aback at first, but quickly realized that Freya had once told him: "The Forest Elves are a race that values life and peace and loves nature and forests."
At that time, Jiang Fan's understanding of these descriptions was still literal and he did not have a deep enough understanding of them.
Now that he has heard that the other group does not eat meat, he has come to realize that they truly "value life and peace"!
At the same time, he was also curious about how the other party replenished their energy if they didn't eat meat.
Just like those of us who have broken through to the spiritual body, the reason why we need to eat a lot after each battle is because the meat of strange beasts provides the human body with a lot of energy, helping them to recover quickly.
Jiang Fan couldn't help but ask, "When you were treating and accelerating the growth of the plants, you must have used up a lot of your energy, right? If you don't eat meat, can you recover?"
"It's possible... but a bit slower..." Freya explained, "Recovery is faster when we're with our tribe, but it slows down considerably once we leave the temple's radiation range..."
Temple?
Jiang Fan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "When you say the temple's radiation range, are you referring to the areas covered by those beams of light?"
Freya nodded: "Yes."
"Is that beam of light shooting into the sky the location of the temple? What's inside the temple?"
"I don't know... I only know that the temple will give us power, but for our clan, only the chieftain can enter..."
"Didn't you ask your mother what was inside?"
Jiang Fan remembered that Freya's mother was the chieftain of their tribe.
"I asked, and my mother said that only the clan leaders of each generation know the secrets of the temple, and she won't tell me..."
Jiang Fan continued, "Do you know how your people built those temples?"
Actually, he was somewhat curious about the source of power in those temples!
"No, no!" Freya quickly waved her hand, "Those temples weren't built by us."
"What? You didn't build it? Then how did the temple come about?" Jiang Fan asked, somewhat surprised.
"According to the elders of our tribe, the temple has existed for a very, very long time. Our forest elf tribe is at most a beneficiary of the temple's power, not its builder."
Jiang Fan frowned. Freya's words contained a lot of information, and he needed some time to digest them.
"Where did you live before? Are there any other temples there?" Jiang Fan asked, thinking of the plague-attribute crystal cores he had traded from the Interconnected Market.
The dark yellow color did not match the five colors currently surrounding the school: crimson, golden yellow, cyan, dark blue, and dark purple.
According to Jiang Fan's speculation, crimson corresponds to the fire attribute, golden yellow corresponds to the light-like attribute, the cyan of Freya's race corresponds to the life attribute, dark blue corresponds to the ice attribute, and the last dark purple is undoubtedly the lightning attribute.
"Yes!" Freya said matter-of-factly. "Our race suddenly appeared in this place three days ago along with the temple. There are many, many temples in the place where we used to live."
three days ago.
Jiang Fan nodded inwardly. At this point in time, the mysterious beam of light would only appear a day after they had traveled through time.
According to the mysterious power, the first day was to give humans time to adapt to the environment, and the second day was the "official launch"!
Also, she just said, "So many temples!"
It's obvious that the "many" Freya was referring to was far more than the five beams of light currently surrounding the school.
"Was the place you lived in before also a forest environment? What colors of beams of light can you see in that area?"
"Yes, we forest elves have lived in the forest since birth." Freya nodded, then looked at Jiang Fan with an expression as if he were an idiot. "The other beams of light we can see... are all greenish-blue, of course..."
Jiang Fan's breath hitched. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have fallen into some kind of misconception.
There may be more than one temple of the same attribute!
That makes sense, though. He had encountered other people trading frost-attribute crystal cores when he was in the Interconnected Market that morning.
But another point is even more important: according to Freya, they seem to come from a completely different place than those Thunder Wolf tribe members.
This, to some extent, further confirms some people's speculations about "experimentation" or "addition of elements".
Finally, Jiang Fan asked the question that concerned him most: "Why did you decide that I am a chosen one of the gods? Do I have any characteristics that clearly distinguish me from others?"
