Bugs Bunny rested for a long time before he came to his senses.
Qi Ge untied the scarf from his neck, stretched it out, and tied it around his stomach, as if he was wearing a grass skirt.
When they were about to leave the Rabbit Mine, Bear Hat was considerate enough to bring another big rock to completely block the Rabbit Mine.
Now the rabbit can’t get out, but the gray wolf can’t get in either.
Seven Pigeons left some elf fruits for the rabbits, so that the rabbits could eat them for several days without starving, and Bugs Bunny could also be at ease to be Seven Pigeons' guide.
On the way through the forest, perhaps because he was still weak, Bugs Bunny jumped very slowly.
Qi Ge simply picked up Bugs Bunny and let him be responsible for showing the way.
This made Little Bear Hat extremely envious, and he clamored to be hugged by Qi Ge as well.
Qi Ge said that Little Bear Hat was too heavy and he couldn't hold it, which made Little Bear Hat so angry that he cried.
As soon as Bear Hat shouted, all the gray wolves around were scared away, allowing Qi Ge and his companions to travel smoothly.
"Qi Ge, Lord Tiger, this way please..."
Bugs Bunny lowered his head and brought Seven Pigeons and Bear Hat to a huge rock.
"Behind this rock is the blue deer's territory."
Qi Ge nodded and asked Bear Hat:
"Bear Hat, you said before that cats are more expensive than rabbits because there are fewer cats. What about the number of deer?"
“Well, there are the most rabbits, about 10,000.
There are relatively few cats, only about one or two thousand.
There are even fewer deer, only about one or two hundred.
It wasn’t like this before. Initially, the number of deer was about the same as that of rabbits, but for some reason, the number of deer decreased, and it became what it is now.”
"The more you give birth, the fewer you have? Is it because of bloodletting?
In the chaotic treasure house of Glen Forest, every seemingly ordinary thing may have a hidden metaphor.
The fruit tree that produces the elf fruit is a metaphor for the elves' fertility, the fur is a metaphor for Yasha's protection, and the madness is a metaphor for being completely swallowed by chaos...
The blood of the deer may also be a metaphor for something special.”
Qi Ge stroked his chin and asked Bugs Bunny:
"Bugs Bunny, the white rabbit and the orange cat can all exchange their work for fruit, so why does the blue deer have to exchange blood for fruit?
Can you answer this?"
"Hmm." Bugs Bunny tried to open his mouth. "That should work!"
He said:
“Deer don’t have hands, they only have hooves, so they can’t work.
Deer blood is precious because it can be used as food and fertilizer.
This is how I remember it.”
"Food and fertilizer?"
"I know that." said Bear Hat.
"Using deer blood to water fruit trees can make them grow fruits faster. Wolves, bears and us tigers can also drink deer blood directly to gain energy."
"Deer blood can be used as fertilizer?!" Qi Ge was shocked.
Fruit trees are a symbol of the reproductive capacity of elves. Deer blood can speed up the production of elf fruit in fruit trees? So what exactly is deer blood?
The seven pigeons became more and more curious about the blue deer.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Qi Ge signaled to Bear Hat to push open the stone door. As the stone door slowly opened, crystal blue light shone through the gap behind the stone door.
Qi Ge relied on the protection of the Magic Goddess' rules and was the first to get in.
Behind the stone gate is a dense primeval forest with tall and straight trees, mainly ancient redwoods and huge oaks.
These trees are towering with lush branches and leaves, forming a green canopy that covers the entire forest.
Between these giant trees grow various ferns, mosses and vines, which are entwined around the tree trunks and stones, lush and green.
The ground in this forest was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves. When Qi Ge stepped on it, it felt soft and made a rustling sound.
In the forest, you can occasionally see some rare flowers, which are magical plants from the elf period, such as night-glowing orchids and fluorescent flowers.
They emit a faint light, beautiful and peaceful.
When Qi Ge wanted to pick these flowers, they disappeared the moment they were touched by Qi Ge.
When Qi Ge pulled his hands away, they slowly emerged again, which was very magical.
Bugs Bunny said to Seven Pigeons:
"This is the Blue Spirit Forest, where the blue deer live."
Bugs Bunny's voice attracted the attention of some being in the forest, and the rustling sound echoed among the vines and bushes in the dense forest.
Qi Ge looked up and just saw several deer jumping and running away into the distance.
These fawns are small, similar in size to common white-tailed deer, but their fur is a deep blue, like sapphires in the night sky.
Their bodies also emit a soft blue light that flickers continuously, with the glowing areas mainly concentrated on the fawn's back, horns and hooves, like faint blue stars.
"That's... the blue deer?"
Qi Ge was surprised:
"The blue deer didn't shave its hair and wear clothes, but kept its original hair?"
"Yes. Glenn's people, we are different from other animals. We have not been eroded."
Suddenly, a voice came out from beside Qi Ge and answered Qi Ge's question calmly.
The huge oak tree next to Qi Ge suddenly shook, and a blue elk slowly walked out from the trunk.
At first it was a vague apparition, like the swaying of leaves in a gentle breeze.
As we got closer to the Seven Pigeon, its body gradually became clear, starting with the head, then the neck, back, limbs and tail.
Its color is a deep blue, like the stars in the night sky. Its body is elegant and strong, with long limbs, sharp hooves, and antlers as complex and large as coral.
Its eyes are bright and mysterious, revealing an otherworldly temperament.
When the blue elk completely walked out of the tree trunk, it stopped and slowly lowered its head towards the seven doves.
Bugs Bunny was frightened and hid in Seven Pigeon's clothes, leaving only his head, peering at the strange creature nervously.
“Oh~~”
Bear Hat stared at the scene with wide eyes, curiously, and exclaimed.
Qi Ge asked in surprise:
"Excuse me, who are you?"
"I am the current leader of the Blue Deer Clan. You can call me Blue Star."
Lan Lu shook his head, and the stone door that was pushed open by the bear hat suddenly closed slowly out of thin air!
This scene scared Seven Pigeons, Bear Hat and Bugs Bunny.
Especially the seven pigeons.
After being in Glen Forest for so long, this was the first time he saw supernatural powers similar to magic in the animals in Glen Forest.
Lan Xing looked at Qi Ge with moving eyes.
“According to the rules left by our blue deer ancestors, when we see the Glen people, we should help them hide to prevent them from being discovered by other animals.
This is because the Glen people could be either the savior of the world or the source of disaster. Other animals cannot tell the difference, only we blue deer can.
But judging from your appearance, our blue deer is not the first animal to discover you, so this rule is meaningless. "
Hearing Lan Xing's words, Qi Ge's heart moved, and he asked softly: "What about me? Am I the savior of the world or the source of disaster?"
Lan Xing bowed respectfully to Qi Ge and said, "You are joking, I am not qualified to judge you.
[The savior of the world] and [the source of disaster] are both confined to this small Glen Forest.
And you are greater than everything put together."
Seventh brother suddenly realized.
It is highly likely that what Lan Xing saw was not himself, but the gods behind him.
This deer is something!
Qi Ge hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively:
“Lan Xing, you Blue Deer Clan are not ordinary animals, right?
Glenn is an elven druid, and a great druid who can control the entire forest. It is impossible for a great druid to have only animals under his command without any soldiers.
I remember that in the Elven subcontinent, there lived a group of soldiers called the Holy Deer.
The Holy Deer is a natural level 6 soldier. Its level 1 form is a giant soldier that also has some spellcasting abilities.
Although you and your tribesmen have different fur color and smaller body size than the sacred deer, your appearance is very similar to that of the sacred deer."
Lan Xing nodded immediately, called out "yo yo", and responded:
"Yes, you guessed it right. My people and I are all soldiers.
Our race is called the Twilight Deer, a close relative of the Sacred Deer.
When our race was first born, we were all blue [Moon Deer], and all of us were female.
Only when you reach level three or above will you grow huge antlers like me and become a male.
If I were outside of Glen Forest now, I should be able to absorb enough sunlight to turn into a Sun Deer.
Now I have the huge antlers of the [Sun Deer], but they are still blue and the complete transformation has not been successful, so I have the reproductive functions of both the [Sun Deer] and the [Moon Deer].
I call myself [Star Deer], which is also the origin of my name [Blue Star].
We Twilight Deer are quiet and indifferent creatures, but we are still able to protect our own tribe. Even when Glenn first disappeared, our population did not suffer much damage. "
"Huh~" Qi Ge exhaled forcefully, and asked with burning eyes:
"Do you know the Elven Subcontinent?"
Lan Xing said in a deep voice:
"Yes, unlike other confused animals, we blue deer know our history and have been waiting for the opportunity to come. And you are the opportunity we have been waiting for.
Please follow us.”
Bluestar turned gracefully, tilted his neck, and went into the forest.
As his figure merged into the woods, it scattered like a firefly, but a blue band of light remained in the woods, guiding Qi Ge and the others.
Qi Ge took a deep breath, nodded to the bear hat, and followed with Bugs Bunny in his arms.
Bugs Bunny whispered to Seven Pigeons with some worry:
"Seven Pigeons, what did you mean by what you and the deer were talking about? What is the Elven Subcontinent? Is it the world outside the forest?
Is that deer trustworthy?"
Seven Pigeons did not answer, but gently touched Bugs Bunny to comfort him.
Following the blue light band, Qi Ge quickly entered the depths of the Blue Spirit Forest, where there was actually a light blue lake!
The moment the Seven Pigeons approached the lake, all the light bands instantly gathered towards the lake from afar and condensed into the shape of a blue star above the lake.
Blue Star glanced at the Seven Pigeons from a distance, then began to run gently across the lake.
The Blue Star has an elegant figure and extremely smooth lines when running. Its fur is a dark blue hue, and many blue spots of light are cast when it runs, like the twinkling stars in the night sky.
Its body radiates a soft light, like a bright lamp, illuminating the entire lake.
The water of the lake is crystal clear, with a faint blue light on the surface, and the scenery is picturesque.
The forest in the distance was lush and green, and the flowers and plants nearby were lush and green. The breeze blew, and the fragrance of flowers and fresh air went straight into Qi Ge's nostrils.
There is such a beautiful scenery in the Chaos Treasure House.
Qi Ge couldn't believe it.
He had been through so many Chaos Treasure Houses, which one wasn’t in a mess and horrible?
The blue deer dances on the lake, its movements light and graceful, full of rhythm, sacred and noble, like a ritual dance to make a wish to the gods.
Crash!!
Gradually, a wave spread across the lake, and a pair of huge antlers rose from the lake!
The antlers were crystal clear, as pure white as snow, and emitting dazzling white light.
Qi Ge looked carefully and found that there were elves of different sizes sealed in the antlers!
They were big and small, but all were naked and completely covered in antlers.
Qi Ge was startled and immediately understood something.
According to the rules of Glenn Forest, only when the deer see [Glenn's people], that is, the elves, they need to hide.
The Glen Forest is in the Chaos Treasure House. The only Glen people who can appear here are the elves who are lucky enough to mature on the fruit trees.
When these elves encounter rabbits, the rabbits cannot speak, so they can only try to wake up the Glen people when they are asleep, and the elves have to continue moving.
When an elf encounters a cat, the cat will meow and call the wolves, bears, and tigers to come over.
If the first one to arrive is a wolf, the wolf will ignore the elf and wait for the bear and tiger to come.
The bear kills the elf when it sees it, and the elf dies.
Tigers will help elves when they see them. When tigers help elves, the elves will cause trouble. The rules of Glen Forest are so complicated that those elves will most likely die if they cause trouble, and the tigers will be implicated as well.
If the elf didn't encounter the cat, but directly encountered a wolf, bear, or tiger, the result would most likely be the same.
To sum up, if the elves encounter the five animals: rabbit, cat, wolf, bear, and tiger, they will all die in the end.
Only if they encounter a deer can these elves hope to survive.
Deer will help the elves hide so that they will not be discovered by other animals.
These elves sealed in the white antlers are probably the way the Deer Gang elves hide.
Qi Ge estimated that, over time, all the surviving elves in the entire Glen Forest would be here!
After the antlers emerged, Blue Star stopped dancing and leaped across the lake to the side of Seven Doves.
He said to the seven pigeons:
“These are Glenn’s people. They are hope, but also the source of disaster.
Do you want to see their true faces?"
"What are their true identities?"
Qi Ge was a little confused: "What do you mean? I don't quite understand."
There were waves of light in Lan Xing's eyes.
“Cough cough cough!!!”
It suddenly began to cough violently, until its whole body was shaking, and every cough seemed to use up all its strength.
“Cough cough cough!!!”
Qi Ge saw the determination in Lan Xing's eyes, and the coughs seemed to tear its internal organs apart. Its limbs were shaking constantly, its body was bending involuntarily, and its back was arched high.
"cough!"
Finally, with a loud cough, Blue Star vomited out something blue.
The thing fell out of the corner of its mouth and dripped onto the grass, bouncing up like gel, as if Blue Star had coughed up its own heart.
Blue Star lay on the ground, nudging the blue gel on the grass with his antlers, and said weakly to Seven Pigeons:
“The blood that serves as fertilizer and food for wild animals does not touch our essence at all. It is just the blue secretion of our body.
This is the true blood of our Twilight Deer, the hard work that requires painstaking efforts.
If you eat it, you will understand everything.”
"Awoo!" The nose of the bear hat twitched twice, and his saliva flowed as he looked at the blue ball.
"Qi Ge, do you want to eat this? If you don't want to eat it, can you give it to me?"
"Evil beast! Back off! Did the master say no?"
Qi Ge patted Bear Hat's head and picked up Blue Star's Blue Blood from the ground.
Blue Star looked at him expectantly, as if hoping that he could eat the blue ball as soon as possible.
[Even if this is a trap, and I will die after eating this blue blood, it should be considered that I was killed by Blue Star.
Then the blessing of the Magic Goddess will take effect, I will be fine, but Blue Star will go crazy...
Don’t be afraid, eat! 】
Qi Ge closed his eyes and stuffed the blue blood into his mouth.
In the blink of an eye, the blue blood was completely absorbed by the seven pigeons.
Qi Ge's body shook, and his head seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, and he suddenly became confused.
“Boom! Sizzle~”
Noisy noises rang in Qi Ge's ears one after another. Qi Ge gasped with difficulty, covered his chest, and slowly looked around.
The whole world, in the eyes of Qi Ge, has become completely different.
The lush green forests had been turned into a stinking garbage dump, with mountains of mud, plastic, discarded steel, and rotting flesh.
The entire body of Bugs Bunny in his arms had turned into metal, with only the head remaining. There were some smelly pieces of meat mixed in with the metal, which looked weird and strange.
The bear hat, limbs and tail around him also grew mechanical parts.
Broken gears and rusty springs were embedded in her body, trembling with her breathing, as if trying to drill into her flesh.
In the entire world, only the lake, the blue star and the glowing antlers in the lake remained unchanged. Even the elves sealed in the glowing antlers had changed their appearance.
These elves are made entirely of wood, clockwork, and gears. Each has a unique appearance, and they vary in size and color, but they all have one thing in common—they are covered in black motor oil.
“This is… this is…”
Qi Ge's breathing was rapid.
He pulled the cloth bag behind his bear hat and opened it.
Those elf fruits that looked like babies all turned into inky black oil bombs!
He looked into the distance; the forest and bloody thorns that blocked his vision were no longer visible.
An enormous red protective shield enveloped the entire world. Outside the shield, countless strange and inexplicable mechanical creatures were lying on the shield, staring at this world covetously.
Qi Ge turned around and looked towards the Fruit Tree Restaurant.
The huge fruit tree that originally exuded the breath of nature has now turned into a gloomy and cold building.
Thick black air enveloped the building. Countless mechanical tentacles were shuttling through the black air, constantly capturing the occasional green spots of light that flashed in the black air.
These tentacles merge the green light spots and black gas, and can place a pitch-black [oil bomb] on the periphery of the building.
"This strange-looking machine... the Mechanical Mother, the Myriad Intelligent Machine, this treasure house is indeed the work of the Lord of Chaos.
I see, I get it! The first thing in Glen Forest to be completely contaminated by Chaos was not the animals, but the fruit trees!
Fruit trees are the real source of pollution!
If there were no rabbits, cats, and deer to eat the fruits and allow them to take shape, chaos elves made of gears and springs would be born and become the source of disaster.
The rabbits, cats and deer that eat those fruits will be contaminated by chaos and gradually evolve towards chaos.
So tigers, bears and wolves are needed to eat them.
This is not a food chain issue of "wolves eat sheep, sheep eat grass", but a long war of "wolves and sheep working together, cooperating with each other, and using generations of lives to stop the spread of poisonous weeds"."
Qi Ge was suddenly startled and blurted out:
"Then why not just destroy the fruit trees?"
Lan Xing raised his head weakly and said slowly to Qi Ge:
"rule."
[Rule 10: Whoever destroys a fruit tree or destroys fruit must die.]
Qi Ge's pupils shrank.
Rule Ten was left by the ancestors of the White Rabbit Clan.
They must have tried it before, and the consequences must have been very serious, which is why they left this rule as a warning to their descendants.
At this moment, Qi Ge's understanding of the rules immediately became clear.
[Rule 1: All animals are equal, but gray wolves, black tigers and brown bears are more equal.
Gray wolves, black tigers, and brown bears are the terminals for destroying the power of chaos. 】
[Rule 2: White rabbits and orange cats can exchange work for fruit, and blue deer can exchange blood for fruit.
Fruits may seem to be able to sustain the survival of animals, but they are poisonous and must be eaten in moderation, but they cannot be eliminated.
The work of the white rabbit and the orange cat can help the animals fight against chaos. 】
[Rule three, you cannot cross the bloody thorns.
The bloody thorns are a protective shield. There is chaos outside. If you go out, you will die. 】
[Rule 4: You cannot eat the other person without their consent.
As long as they are animals that can still refuse to be eaten, they have not been completely contaminated by Chaos and still have value to be used. We can eliminate some unformed Chaos Spirits. 】
[5. Crazy white rabbits, orange cats, and blue deer can be eaten without the other party's consent.
Dead white rabbits, orange cats, and blue deer can be eaten without the other party's consent.
White rabbits, orange cats, and blue deer cannot intentionally destroy their bodies when they are about to die or go mad, otherwise their offspring will be eaten without the consent of those offspring.
The mad animals had been thoroughly polluted, just like the fully formed Chaos Spirits.
If white rabbits, orange cats, and blue deer show signs of self-mutilation, it means that chaos pollution has spread among the population and must be eliminated on a large scale to stop the spread of chaos pollution. 】
[6. When there is not enough fruit in the forest, the fourth rule becomes invalid.
Insufficient fruit means that a large number of rabbits, cats, and deer have been deeply infected by Chaos. They will conceal their actions and eat oil bombs without restraint, so they must be cleaned up. 】
[7. When there are not enough white rabbits, orange cats, and blue deer in the forest, the fourth rule will be activated again.
Return to normal and continue to maintain dynamic balance. 】
…
Many speculations flashed through Qi Ge's mind, and the strange scene in front of his eyes began to gradually disappear, and the forest returned to its previous appearance.
Qi Ge took a deep breath and asked Lan Xing in a deep voice:
"【Rule 8. Glenn's people will become the saviors and must be awakened.】
What's going on with this rule?"
Lan Xing shook his body slightly and replied sadly:
“You should have seen the birth of the elves.
A little green light merged with a large amount of black air.
When the black gas completely devours the green light, the Chaos Puppet Elves will be born, which is the source of the disaster.
The green light in turn completely devours the black air, and a true elf will be born, which is the hope of salvation.
The darkness and the green light were in a stalemate, neither of them devoured the other, and what was finally born was a fruit full of pollution.
Of course, if the polluted fruit is not eliminated, the darkness will eventually swallow up the green light completely."
"I see. No wonder the animals have such conflicting attitudes towards the Glen people."
Qi Ge took a deep breath, looked at the Chaos Elves, and asked:
"How many true elves have been born so far?"
"Zero, not one." Lan Xing smiled bitterly.
