40. Lair deep in the forest(1/2)
The original body didn't pop out of the stone.
There must be a father and a mother.
But Anle carefully searched those scattered memories, and was shocked to find that he didn't even have the slightest impression of the original owner's mother.
If he hadn't taken the initiative to think deeply at this time, he would have even subconsciously ignored this matter.
Not only that.
People around the village never mentioned or talked about her.
Not once.
It's as if this woman doesn't exist.
Could it be said that she never appeared in Chenjiacun?
But in my memory, Anle was clearly born in this village.
What the old Orion said also proves this point.
"strangeness……"
The more I think about peace and happiness, the more doubtful I become.
In this situation, it was almost as if Anping had given birth to him and raised him by himself.
"Could it be that...the memories of me and the villagers have been tampered with?"
"Her identity is very special?"
"And the origin of the woman in red..."
If you can't figure it out, Anle won't think about it too much.
He turned his head and glanced at the dull little Xiaohong with his peripheral vision, feeling an inexplicable sense of security in his heart.

Not long after.
Anle, led by the monster, gradually entered the depths of the forest.
The unknown force that previously trapped the cultivators near the village will naturally not have any effect on the monsters.
Anle also set foot in an area he had never explored before for the first time.
The trees here are very dense, and the layers of leaves above the head block most of the light.
Only a few beams of light passed through the blockade of the tree canopy and fell on the ground, forming circles of light.
The air gradually became colder, as if daytime was entering evening.
The further you go, the taller and thicker the trees become.
Big trees with a thickness of three meters can be seen everywhere, and there are also more and more trees that are five or six meters tall. Anle even saw a towering tree that ten people could not hug even if they surrounded it.
Its height is difficult to measure with the naked eye.
Countless roots are intertwined, like strips of earth dragons exposed on the surface, and branches thicker than a human waist are twisted and bent, growing into strange shapes.
Dark green vines hang from the branches.
All kinds of birds, beasts, insects and ants live in it.
The entire forest is like an ancient and primitive forest of giants, making human beings feel their own insignificance.
"It turns out that this is the true face of this forest."
Anle usually only dared to wander around the outskirts of the forest.
Looking at it now, this decision was indeed the right one.
The dangers deep in the forest are far beyond what he can handle now.
For such a short distance, his animal instincts stung many times.
In the darkness, there seemed to be several pairs of cold eyes staring at them.
It was only because of the coercion of these two white-haired human bears that they did not launch an attack.
Anle originally wanted to find a chance to escape, but in this environment, he had no choice but to give up the idea.
Seeing An Le looking around frequently with a cautious expression, the huge monster leader spoke.
"do not be afraid."
"I will protect you."
Hearing this, Anle had a strange expression.
Not to mention, the monster really took good care of him along the way.
Not only did he protect An Le in the middle, but he also actively slowed down his pace to make it less strenuous for him to walk.
If it is just to transform him into a similar kind, is it necessary to go to this extent?
before today.
Anle's impression of monsters is that of cruel and ferocious inhuman monsters.
They did behave like this towards the villagers and wild animals, showing no pity or sympathy at all.
It seems like she just has a special attitude toward him.
This gives Anle a very strange feeling.
"Woo————"
A long and ethereal sound suddenly came from a distance.
Like it comes from the seabed thousands of meters deep.
The breath is long and the tone is clear.
It's hard to imagine that this is a sound coming from deep in the forest.
The sound lasted for more than a minute before it dissipated.
Anle saw that the monster leader stopped and listened to the sound.
The face on the chest showed a vigilant look for the first time.
The monster next to him obviously didn't have a high level of intelligence, but he was also vaguely scared and trembling.
The sound stopped, and the forest fell into temporary silence.
Even the usual chirping of insects and birds had completely disappeared at some point.
Anle asked tentatively: "What is this?"
Since the monster has a special attitude towards him, he might as well take advantage of it and get more information.
The monster leader turned around and looked at him, and actually answered.
"have no idea."
"Wake up, the big demon...maybe?"
After saying that, it silently quickened its pace.
Obviously, even the group of white-haired monsters is not the most powerful group in this vast primitive forest.
Maybe, it can’t even be ranked in the middle class?
Anle was speechless secretly, feeling the vastness of the world again.
He has been trapped near Chenjiacun and has never seen the world.
Being brought here by the monster this time was a real eye-opener.
Gain a clearer understanding of the dangers of this world.
******
I don't know how long I walked in the forest.
The sky is a little gloomy.
Anle and Monster finally arrived at their destination.
A cave located halfway up the mountain.
The entrance of the cave is only over four meters wide and five meters high, making it slightly petite compared to the tall body of the white-haired monster.
Dense vines and shrubs grow nearby, making it very secluded.
Before they could go inside.
"Woo! Woo!"
A piercing strange scream sounded.
A fishy wind came out of the cave.
