Looking at the big wolf fawning in front of the little bear hat, Qi Ge always felt that the other party was like a dog.
"Pluto~" The stone door was slowly pushed open by a slightly old tiger. She was wearing a thick fur coat, in white, orange, blue, black, gray and brown. She was obviously a noble person.
"Hey, Pluto, why are you running so fast? It turns out that Bear Hat is back."
Grandma Tiger spoke slowly. Many of her teeth had fallen out, and her skin was covered with wrinkles left by the years. Her hair looked mottled and dull, but she still stood straight with a dignified demeanor.
"Ooooooh, Grandma!"
The little bear hat shook excitedly, then stepped on the big wolf's back and jumped over.
"Grandma, look, I brought a friend with me!"
The bear hat rushed to Grandma Tiger without slowing down. Grandma Tiger looked very old, but she stopped her with just one slap. Their strength was completely on a different level.
"I see it, I see it, grandma, that elf must be your friend."
Grandma Tiger said to Qi Ge with a smile:
"Come here, young man, so I can take a good look at you."
"Old man, I was wondering how there could be such a good-looking tiger with a bear hat in the world. It turns out it's all your credit.
This little bear hat looks exactly like you!"
Qi Ge approached familiarly and stepped on the big bad wolf by the way.
"Haha, haha, boy, you really know how to talk." Qi Ge made Grandma Tiger laugh.
She opened her cloudy eyes, looked at Qi Ge carefully, nodded, and praised:
“It’s indeed Glenn’s people. I haven’t seen Glenn’s people come out for a long time.
If we can see you, then our Glen Forest can still be saved."
When Qi Ge heard this, she immediately realized that Grandma Tiger must know a lot of things.
He was about to ask, but Grandma Tiger smiled and stretched out her hand to stop him:
"Come in with me, this is not the place to talk."
Grandma Tiger looked at the big wolf wagging its tail on the road with a smile and said calmly:
"Brutus, watch the door."
"Woo woo~" Pluto shuddered and turned around quickly, wagging his tail.
Grandma Tiger slowly entered the stone house with Seven Pigeons and Bear Hat.
As soon as he entered the house, Qi Ge was shocked by the scene in front of him.
There were more than a dozen complete bear skins hanging on the wall, as well as three slightly smaller black tiger skins, with intact and shiny fur, which looked valuable at first glance.
Although there was no furniture in the stone house, there was a bonfire. The small house looked particularly warm under the reflection of the bonfire.
Grandma Tiger shook her body, stuck out her shriveled tongue, stretched herself, and lay down lazily.
Little Bear Hat came up to Grandma Tiger very sensibly and massaged Grandma Tiger's waist with a tiger cushion.
"Glenn's people, come closer, I can't see you clearly."
Grandma Tiger was lying on the ground, waving at Qi Ge.
“Here I come.”
Qi Ge took two steps forward.
"Come closer. I'm not well anymore."
"Okay." Qi Ge took two steps forward.
"Take big steps and come over here boldly."
Grandma Tiger said as she stuck out her tongue and licked her lips.
Seven Pigeons: ...
Go further? If I go further, I'll be on your face. What? Do you want my head to warm up in your mouth?
My goodness, my grandma and I are very close, and she thinks with me.
Sorry, my small head can go in, but my big head can’t.
Qi Ge relied on the blessing of the Goddess of Peace and was not afraid. She walked to Grandma Tiger and sat down, laughing:
"Haha, old senior, now you can see clearly."
"Look carefully, look carefully. He looks really strong."
Grandma Tiger licked her lips and stared at Qi Ge and smiled secretly.
Looking at the deep meaning in Grandma Tiger's eyes, Qi Ge cursed her inwardly as a cunning old woman.
Grandma Tiger narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "You are the bravest Glenn I have ever met. The other Glenns are very cautious, fearing that they will break the rules.
You are so arrogant, and you dare to make friends with the bear hat. You are not simple. "
Qi Ge found it very strange. Glen Forest was a Chaos Treasure House that had just appeared not long ago. In theory, no other elves should have entered here.
He asked tentatively:
"Have you seen other ?"
“Of course, the fruits produced by those trees are all Glen people. It’s just that very few Glen people can take shape.
Most of the Glens die at the fruit stage."
Grandma Tiger said cheerfully:
"I'm the first one to see a Glenn who has managed to take shape and grow up healthily to your size."
Qi Ge's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, the fruits on the restaurant's tree were unformed elves!
Elves evolved from a clan of flower fairies.
Nowadays, the elves in the Yasa world can increase their population through male-female breeding, but the original elves grew from trees.
Qi Ge had a vague guess in his mind.
The elves in the world of Yasa have extremely poor reproductive ability.
The difficulty of breeding a third-level soldier is comparable to that of a seventh-level soldier.
However, this is actually not normal.
Under normal circumstances, the elves' reproductive capacity is enough to completely occupy an entire subcontinent!
The Elven Subcontinent! It has a land area larger than Erathia and Avili.
Eighty percent of the land on the Elf Subcontinent is forest terrain, which is not a bad thing for the elves, but a good thing.
Elves can completely integrate into the forest and coexist perfectly with it.
If the elves' fertility under normal circumstances remained the same as it is now, no matter how long they lived, they would not be able to complete their actual rule over the elven subcontinent.
“The fertility of the elves dropped drastically after the destruction of the Elven Subcontinent and the migration of the elves to Avili.
The destruction of the elven subcontinent is related to the Lord of Evil and Chaos.
Perhaps, after Chaos devoured the Elf Subcontinent, it also devoured the Elves' reproductive ability.
After all, the Elf Subcontinent is the root of the elves, and Avili is just a place where the elves have no other choice but to settle down.
Or perhaps the Lord of Evil has robbed the elves of their reproductive ability through some means."
Qi Ge guessed:
“With the gradual recovery of the Elven subcontinent and the continued weakening of the existence of the Demon Lord, the Yasha world has the opportunity to compete for the elves’ fertility, and thus the Glen Forest Treasure House was established.
Clearing the treasure house can restore the elves' fertility to normal.
The great fertility era of the Yasa world is about to come. Once the elves' fertility is restored, they will be able to return to the elven subcontinent that is being recovered.
It makes sense then. No wonder the gods led me here.
If this treasure house is really competing for the elves' fertility, then I must pass it perfectly!"
Qi Ge closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a hint of seriousness in his eyes.
"Haha, grandma, I grew up in a daze and I'm not very familiar with Glen Forest.
Our people of Glenn have some memories emerging at birth.
In our memory, the forest is not like this.
The animals live in harmony, respect, care and help each other. They live together in a harmonious forest, depend on each other, and jointly maintain the peace of the forest.
Whether they are ferocious beasts or docile animals, they all adhere to the principle of peaceful coexistence.
The fruit that grew on the tree was sweet and delicious, edible by both fierce and docile animals, and had many shapes and colors, but was nothing like what we Glenns looked like when we were infants.
Grandma, do you know why Glen Forest has become what it is now?"
Hearing Qi Ge's question, Grandma Tiger laughed, narrowed her eyes, and said with reminiscence:
“What you said is exactly the same as what my grandmother told me.
My grandmother also heard it from her grandmother.
In the stories passed down from generation to generation by our Black Tiger clan, the forest is just as you described. Everyone lives in peace and friendship, and there is no need to worry about survival. It is beautiful and happy.
The color of our black tigers’ fur is not pure black like it is now, but a mixture of black and white with white as the main color. Even Glenn praised us for our beautiful appearance.”
As Grandma Tiger recalled the past, she showed a longing expression and described the deliciousness of those normal fruits.
Bear Hat perked up. She didn't understand anything else, but she understood these.
She asked with a longing look on her face: "Grandma, grandma, are bananas really soft, fragrant and delicious?
Is a bed really more comfortable than the softest grass?
Grandma Tiger patiently explained: "In the past, I could sleep as long as I wanted on the soft bed, eat as much fruit as I wanted, sleep when I was tired from playing, and eat when I was hungry.
Glenn remembers the living conditions of every animal. "
Little Bear Hat showed a longing expression, and she asked Grandma Tiger in a daze:
"Grandma, how can we sleep in the bed and eat bananas?"
Grandma Tiger was a little moved. She rubbed the head of the bear hat and said:
"I asked my grandmother this question when I was a child. Do you know how she answered me?"
"How do you answer?"
"Wait until Glenn comes back."
At this point, Grandma Tiger shook her head in disinterest:
"She waited for a lifetime. I waited for another lifetime .
It is only now that I understand that expectations without results will only bring pain.
We seem to be waiting for someone, but no one will come.
But you are different, Little Bear Hat, you are the luckiest little tiger, you see, you have waited for your Glenn to come."
Grandma Tiger suddenly said to Qi Ge: "You are completely different from those ignorant Glen people who were born from trees. Don't lie to me, I can see it.
Young man, are you from outside Glen Forest?
Those who were born in Glenn Forest are Glenn’s people, those who came from outside are not.”
Bear Hat widened his eyes and asked:
"Grandma, what is he?"
Grandma Tiger smiled and replied, "He is Glenn."
Grandma Tiger smiled and said to Qi Ge:
"【Rule 8. Glenn's people will become the saviors and must be awakened.】
[Rule Nine: If any of Glenn's people go crazy, they must be killed.]
[Rule 13: If you find a Glenn, immediately meow loudly to attract the guys who can deal with the Glenn.]
[Rule 24: Deer must protect the Glenn people from being discovered by animals other than deer.]
[Rule 36: Remember, there are no Glen people in the forest. If you see one, you are crazy. Don't let other animals know.]
[Rule 43: Glenn can't come back, he will never come back. If Glenn is found, it must be fake, he must be shot to death.]
[Rule 52: Tiger must receive and help Glenn and his people.]
[Rule 55: Glenn people cannot tell lies about the rules in front of Tiger. Violators will be killed.]”
Rule eight, rule nine, it's the rabbit
Rule thirteen, it’s the cat.
Rule twenty-four, it’s the deer.
Those thirty-six are most likely wolves!
Rule forty-three, sounds like a bear.
Rule fifty-two and rule fifty-five are tigers.
Rabbit, cat, deer, wolf, bear, tiger, in that order, with ten rules for each animal, that makes exactly sixty rules, just as he had guessed before!
Qi Ge let out a breath.
At this moment, he finally uncovered the tip of the iceberg of this strange forest.
Grandma Tiger looked at Qi Ge and said with a smile:
“What I just said are all the rules of Glen Forest related to you and the Glen people.
All the rules of Glen Forest were set by the first ancestors who were trapped in Glen Forest.
Normally, each ethnic group only knows the ten that belong to it at the beginning.
Only we, the Black Tiger Clan, have collected all sixty rules.
Please forgive me for not being able to tell you all the rules. In this damn place, knowing too much is not a good thing.
Grandma Tiger looked at Qi Ge deeply and said cryptically:
"For example, I know everything, but because of this, I can only stay in this stone house and even have to be careful when leaving the courtyard."
Seven Pigeons: !!!
Qi Ge immediately understood what Grandma Tiger was hinting at.
Among those sixty rules, there must be some rules that "are not restricted when you don't know, but will be restricted once you know."
He looked at Grandma Tiger deeply and asked in a deep voice:
"What on earth are these rules?"
Grandma Tiger lowered her eyes and lamented, “They were supposed to be a covenant to maintain order in a chaotic situation, but because of a strange power, they have become shackles on us.
The rules are determined by us animals together, but from the moment the rules are determined, they are no longer under our control. "
Qi Ge suddenly realized that this must be the power of chaos at work.
He then asked, "Many rules mention [madness], what exactly is [madness]?"
"'Mad' is a judgment." Grandma Tiger said, "Animals that are determined to be 'mad' will no longer be protected by any rules.
Any animal in the Glen Forest, and the Glen Forest itself, can do anything to it without restriction.
Of course, it is not easy to be identified as "crazy". You must violate the relevant rules.
My mother told me that [going crazy] is worse than death."
Qi Ge couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The rabbit said that going crazy means having hallucinations, while Grandma Tiger said that going crazy can only be confirmed by violating relevant rules.
One of these two must have told a lie.
But what is certain is that going crazy must be a very terrible thing.
Grandma Tiger continued:
“Did you notice? There were only two rules that individually improved Glenn.
One is Rule 43 and the other is Rule 52.
Only our black tiger and brown bear ancestors knew that Glenn might come back from outside Glenn Forest.
The other animals all thought that anyone who looked similar to Glen must be a member of Glen's tribe, not Glen himself.
But the ancestors of the brown bears, for some unknown reason, always believed that Glenn was dead, and that the other Glenns must have been transformed monsters, and they must be killed, and even included in the rules of the brown bear tribe. "
Qi Ge suddenly became clear-headed, and he asked sharply, "Is this the real reason why the brown bear tribe became extinct?"
"Yes." Grandma Tiger nodded: "Our ancestors believed that Glenn who came back from outside the forest was our only hope. They could not tolerate the existence of a brown bear that would wipe out their hope."
Qi Ge said seriously: “Grandma, I want to ask you a very important question, and I hope you can answer it truthfully.
Are we friends or enemies?"
"It depends on your purpose?"
“Eliminate these weirdnesses and let the animals return to their normal lives.
"Then we are friends!"
The two cunning guys didn't say anything, but kept communicating with their eyes and expressions.
You blink twice, I twist my mouth. I raise an eyebrow, you shake your head...
After communicating for a while, Qi Ge nodded with satisfaction:
“I understand, thank you grandma for giving me the direction.
Waiting is never in vain. Patience in despair will bring the light of hope on the other side. "
"That's great."
Grandma Tiger laughed happily.
"I'll take you out."
The bear hat looked confused.
Why did you leave? How did you guys come to an agreement? What did you guys discuss? Did you guys plan to secretly go eat bananas without me?
Qi Ge left the stone house while talking to Grandma Tiger.
“Ahhh!”
The gray wolf guarding outside the stone house saw them come out and immediately started spinning around excitedly, sticking out its tongue and smiling in a flattering manner.
"Pluto."
Grandma Tiger patted its head and said to Qige:
"Look, he has no clothes on."
This reminder gave Qi Ge a sudden shock.
He quickly looked at Pluto. Pluto's fur was not entirely gray, but mixed with a lot of brown and white hair.
Seven Pigeons: !!!
Qi Ge took a breath and asked meaningfully:
"Grandma, if the black tiger had white hair at the beginning, what about other animals?"
"Haha. We were normal animals at the beginning." Grandma Tiger said with a smile:
"Except for some very smart guys among us tigers, no one can speak.
Those wolves, like Pluto, could only bark foolishly.
Although Pluto can't speak, he is a good boy. He has been looking after my house and bringing me food from the restaurant.
Without it, I would have starved to death.”
Qi Ge suddenly understood.
Although Grandma Tiger's answer seemed irrelevant, her hint was actually obvious enough.
The color of the animals' fur in Glen Forest changed after the Glen Forest incident.
Due to the restrictions of the rules, Grandma Tiger cannot say it clearly.
Qi Ge was reminded of the food in the Dashu Restaurant that was shaved clean without a single hair on its body.
In the Green Forest, the different colored hair of the six animals must have their own symbolic meanings.
Grandma Tiger was suggesting to herself that restoring the animals' original fur would cause them to undergo changes that would be beneficial to her.
In the expression exchange just now, Qi Ge also got a very crucial piece of information.
If you want to conquer the Chaos Treasure House Glen Forest, you just need to find a way to escape from the forest, just like the first group of animal ancestors who left Glen Forest.
But if you want to perfectly conquer the Chaos Treasure House Glen Forest, you must crack all 60 rules of Glen Forest and make them invalid.
…
If you want to break the rules, you must first know the rules and analyze the reasons why the animal ancestors established these rules.
There are a total of sixty rules, which is a very huge project.
Qi Ge sorted out the many rules he already knew and decided to start with the simplest one.
[Rule 2: White rabbits and orange cats can exchange work for fruit, and blue deer can exchange blood for fruit.]
It is known that the so-called fruits are actually unborn elves.
The white rabbit, orange cat, and blue deer are three animals that sound harmless, but they are constantly eating unborn elves.
How is this possible? This is so cruel. It is cruel to the elves and it is also cruel to the three animals!
This rule must change!
[Wolves eat sheep, sheep eat grass]. If the sheep are gone, both the wolves and the sheep will die, but the grass will grow wildly.
If the three animals that eat the elf fruit, the white rabbit, the orange cat, and the blue deer, disappeared, would more elves be born from the tree?
It is possible.
But Qi Ge didn't dare to do it directly.
This is too dangerous. If the disappearance of these three animals brings about bad effects, there will be no way to remedy the situation.
Then we can only change our thinking.
The white rabbit and the orange cat can exchange work for fruit, but what would happen if they could get the fruit without working?
What would happen if the white rabbit and the orange cat could exchange their work for something other than fruit?
Qi Ge wants to try it.
"Bear hat, can I buy fruit with bear hair?"
"Of course, you can buy it at the restaurant!" said Bear Hat proudly:
"You don't need something as expensive as bear hair to buy fruit. You can just use some deer hair. Wait, I'll get it from grandma."
The bear hat swooped into Grandma Tiger's room and then swooped out. In the blink of an eye, a small blue waistcoat was draped over her shoulders.
"You kid." Grandma Tiger looked at Bear Hat lovingly. She patted Bear Hat's head and said seriously:
"Remember to listen to the young man and don't act on your own, understand?"
"Understood!"
Bear Hat nudged Qi Ge and said, "He's awesome. I always listen to him."
…
…
On the way to the restaurant, Qi Ge asked Bear Hat in a low voice:
"Little Bear Hat, why are you only your grandma, your grandpa and your parents here?"
"They are all crazy. The three tiger skins hanging on grandma's wall are them." Bear Hat lowered his head and said sadly:
“They went crazy before I grew up. I was brought up by my grandmother and just recently left her to live outside.
We tigers have a rule that there can’t be two tigers in one mountain, and adult tigers can’t stay together for a long time.”
[Rule 51: The time an adult black tiger can be in contact with another adult black tiger cannot exceed 24 hours per week, otherwise one of the black tigers will go crazy.]
Seven Pigeons: ...
Seeing the lost look of Little Bear Hat, Qi Ge wanted to slap himself.
Make you curious! Why are you talking about something else?
