Wu Jie was very perceptive and noticed something: "Ms. Urla, did you discover something?"
Urla glanced around and said, "I don't know if you've noticed, this world is too quiet."
"Quiet?" For a moment, everyone looked around.
Hearing her say that, I thought, yes, such a beautiful world, with green mountains and clear waters, should have life as well? Like on Earth, there are all kinds of birds singing and insects chirping in the forest, but here there is none at all.
Although the plants here are very different from those on Earth, they are not much different from the forests on Earth. Logically speaking, if there are plants, there should be no animals.
"Ms. Urla, could it be that all the animals have hidden themselves? Just like the crystal world just now?" Xiaowen expressed his guess.
"Maybe, I hope I'm overthinking it." Urla withdrew his gaze and no longer cared about the abnormalities around him.
"Don't forget the purpose of our trip. What we have to do is to find a way to return to Earth. After all, this is not Earth and we may encounter danger at any time. Xiaowen, Urla, you must follow us closely. If we encounter the crystal beast like before again, no one can say what accidents may happen." Wu Jie reminded.
"Okay!" Urla was originally a war dancer, but she didn't expect that she would be protected by Wu Jie instead, which made her sigh for a moment.
In this way, the group walked cautiously towards the only spherical building they could see.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence or something, but there happened to be a path in the direction they were heading, as if it was left there intentionally.
Walking along the path, they saw countless rare plants and also encountered the stream. After testing, they found that the water was pure and free of impurities. Wu Jie took a sip and found it extremely refreshing.
The group also took the opportunity to replenish their water. The crystal world they had been traveling through was really too bad. As earthlings, they preferred this world full of green plants. It was not only pleasing to the eye, but they also didn't have to worry about food.
We also saw many unknown flowers and plants. As we walked out of the forest, a sea of flowers appeared before our eyes.
"Wow! So beautiful!" Xiaowen plunged into the sea of flowers like a happy elf.
Wu Jie walked into the sea of flowers, gazing at the crimson and green blossoms that stretched to the horizon. He couldn't help but sigh, "If there ever comes a day when there's no more war, I'll definitely find a place like this to retire to."
The Queen of Eight Desires was curious after hearing this: "Isn't it good to have status and power? Why would you give them up?"
Wu Jie smiled faintly. "Status and power are certainly important, but they are ultimately vain and superficial. I, too, will depart, leaving the Western Mountains to their flocks of cranes and phoenixes. Peace is most precious, and a life returning to nature will do the least harm to the world. What people desire, the world harms. Whether it's you Indians or us Earthlings, as long as there are desires in our hearts, there will inevitably be disputes, and where there are disputes, there will inevitably be wars."
The Queen of Eight Desires disagreed: "I think this is not good. When you lose your power and status, you lose the means to protect yourself. If someone with evil intentions ascends to the throne, you will have no power to resist and will be at their mercy. Rather than letting an evil person occupy the throne, it is better for you to stay there for a long time."
Wu Jie was slightly surprised. "That's a good idea. A small hermit hides in the mountains, a great hermit hides in power. Nyara, your idea is indeed insightful. Instead of letting uncertain people ascend to high positions, it is better to control your own destiny... Hmm... It does make sense."
Urla didn't pay much attention to their conversation. Her attention was all on the mysterious building: "Look, we're here!"
Unexpectedly, this mysterious spherical building was built right in the center of this sea of flowers. Compared with the flowers in the sea of flowers, this building seems a bit abrupt.
"Let's go, it's time to see its true face."
"Um."
…
…
As the group arrived at the front of the spherical building, they could finally see its entire appearance.
It is unknown what kind of metal material the entire spherical building is made of, but the gray-white metal frame supports the entire spherical building.
The base was completely submerged in the ground, and no door could be seen. It seemed as if half of the sphere was sunk into the ground.
The interior is a flat gray-white floor, empty of anything except a water-drop-like sphere quietly suspended in the center.
"What do you think this water droplet-like thing is?" Wu Jie seemed to be asking everyone.
There is a top scientist and the Eight Desire Queens here. They have much more say than himself in certain fields. Wu Jie's focus is not on scientific research, so he will not speak nonsense.
Urla observed it carefully and said, "I can't be sure what the substance is. It would be great if I could collect a sample."
At this moment, something unexpected happened to everyone: "Everyone, come in quickly! You can enter here!"
"Xiao Wen, this girl!" Urla stroked her forehead. She was too bold. She broke in without telling anyone.
"How did you get in?" Urla asked unhappily.
Xiao Wen chuckled: "Hey, he just walked in like that! You can try it too!"
"Just walk in?!" Urla was a little surprised.
At this moment, Wu Jie walked in without saying a word. He felt as if he had touched a bubble the moment he entered the door, but it quickly returned to normal.
The Queen of Eight Desires didn't waste any words and walked straight in. When Urla saw that everyone had gone in, she looked helpless and had no choice but to follow in.
Before entering, Urla touched the walls, which looked like some kind of transparent material, and said, "I don't know what this material is. It seems to be able to block something, but why can people just walk in? What is the purpose of these walls?"
It was like asking and answering a question, or like asking a question, but Urla's voice happened to be heard by the Queen of Eight Desires.
Then the Queen of Eight Desires said, "The energy here is reversed. People outside can come in, but people inside can't leave."
"Ah?!!" Urla and the others were shocked.
When Xiaowen heard this, he hurried to go back, but found that he had hit his head against the wall and could not get out at all.
"Wow, it's over. We can't get out now." Xiaowen covered his head with his hands, crying.
Urla asked nervously, "Queen of Eight Desires, did you know this a long time ago? Why are you telling me now?"
The Queen of Eight Desires simply glanced at the Earthling coldly and said, "You've forgotten it, and the energy inside is also blocked. How can I know if I don't come in?"
"Um... now that you put it that way..." Urla opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
