Chapter 182 The Unknown in the Primeval Forest

Looking at the alluring mountains and forests, Xu Que and his group arrived at a place that was almost completely unfamiliar.

The surrounding area is a dense and intricate forest.

Beyond the distant forest, one could clearly hear all sorts of eerie yet indescribable strange sounds, some mournful, some excited...

The ground is covered with brightly colored and strangely shaped vegetation.

Xu Que thought that the blackish-green, slightly transparent thing in front of him, which looked like ordinary Nostoc commune, must be the groundweed he had seen in the fields when he was a child.

Xu Que finally found a long-lost and familiar feeling in the forest where smoke was still rising from time to time. He bent down and picked up a large patch of Nostoc commune from a damp area, and examined it carefully in his palm.

These seaweed plants really do taste like home. I remember my mom used to pick them and use them to make steamed buns for herself! They tasted amazing!

Xu Que clutched the things he had picked up tightly in his hands and walked deeper into the forest to see if he could find anything or any memories that were closely related to his childhood or the time before the apocalypse.

From deep within the woods, the faint sounds of tractors plowing the fields or hauling heavy loads could be heard, along with the indistinct barking of dogs and the crowing of roosters.

...

Xu Que was still very unsure, but after listening carefully three times, he was certain that he heard those familiar voices every time.

This forest is the only one Xu Que has ever seen where the trees are taller than him.

Following the path that made the ground tremble with every step, Xu Que ventured deeper into the forest. Before long, a strange world of flowers, exuding an unusual fragrance, appeared before him.

This is a vast forest full of magic, a world of flowers, an ocean of trees, and the source of rivers.

Xu Que has disliked flowers since he was a child, but despite the fragrant flowers, he still quickly walked through the sea of ​​flowers.

A river with its own unique character and wildness suddenly appeared before Xu Que, blocking his path.

The occasional splashes of water from the river against Xu Que's body and face seemed to be reminding him: Do you know where you are? Are you sure you haven't gone to the wrong place? Or are you just thirsty and want a drink?

After being unwittingly bathed in the cool, crystal-clear river water, Xu Que suddenly realized: "Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?"

With his head buzzing, he squatted by the rushing, clear river and tried to recall everything, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember anything.

He only remembered that he vaguely approached the forest, following several very familiar sounds to find the source of the sound.

Xu Que initially judged in his mind that behind these voices that he was once very familiar with, there must be a scene that he was very familiar with, most likely a beautiful and comfortable village... He even fantasized that his parents were still alive.

Just like when Xu Que first entered the forest, he could still hear those rather strange sounds.

At this moment, Xu Que was completely confused, muttering to himself, "Am I here to enjoy the scenery or to look for something? But if I am looking for something, what is it? I can't remember at all!"

When the sounds he had heard outside the forest began to echo again, Xu Que realized that he had followed these sounds into the forest to verify that there were sounds here that matched the sounds stored in his mind. Could there be a scene at the source of the sounds that matched his imagination?

At this moment, Xu Que seemed to understand that this was exactly what he had gone there for! He had unknowingly come here just to verify whether the scene at the source of the sound matched the one in his mind.

"Hey! In the end, it's just that I miss my home back then, and I miss my parents!" Xu Que shook his head and let out a long sigh.

He calmed himself down and listened carefully to the familiar sounds he had heard before entering the woods, confirming the direction of the sound sources again, and then resolutely headed towards the source.

Along the way, birds sang and flowers bloomed, and the forest no longer presented any bizarre scenes or absurd sounds as before.

At this moment, there is a mountain in front of Xu Que, with a few lush trees in the valley. Houses can be seen intermittently through the trees, and wisps of smoke rise intermittently from their rooftops...

Xu Que was conflicted again: "This is clearly a village! The sounds I heard earlier about those farm tools that I couldn't quite name working seem to be real! Because there really is a village here! Those sounds might have been coming from here..."

At this moment, almost all of Xu Que's doubts were dispelled, and what followed was inexplicable joy and curiosity.

As Xu Que prepared to stride towards the village that was faintly visible and shrouded in wisps of smoke, he noticed that the path beneath his feet was now covered in a blanket of white snow, which felt incredibly real and made a satisfying crunching sound under his feet!

Xu Que felt that something was not quite right about all of this!

"I haven't seen snow yet, nor have I ever experienced snowfall, so why am I suddenly stepping on snow?"

Upon seeing the snow, Xu Que couldn't help but shiver. Although he was a white giant with thick fur and an invulnerable suit of armor, he still felt an icy chill that he couldn't resist.

In this snow-like substance, Xu Que even felt a piercing chill shoot from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Xu Que's jaw trembled involuntarily, and his whole body shook like a white vibrating rod, unable to resist!

Xu Que was discussing Xu Que with Hou: "I wonder where your dad went? That man is really getting more and more outrageous! I didn't say anything, I didn't scold him or anything, I just exchanged a few words with him, and now he's disappeared again..."

Xu Que's son looked at them suspiciously: "It's not that simple, is it? Did you hit Dad? I heard you arguing fiercely, and you even kicked Dad in the groin... Humph, don't think I don't know!"

After hearing what they said, he stopped talking and fell silent.

"How about this? I have wings. You tell me where Dad went after you two finished arguing, and which direction he went in. I'll go find him!"

The elders and management, acting irrationally, pointed to an old grove of trees behind the mountain and mumbled, "It seems like they went over there!"

"You really are something, going all out on Dad's sensitive areas! Seriously... I'm going to find him now! Take care of yourself!"

Xu Que's son spread his wings and flew away into the deep forest ahead.

He cupped his hands to his mouth like a giant microphone and shouted, "You better watch out! Once you find your dad, bring him back right away..."
