Chapter 677 I am a tree
The Black Valley is located in the southwest of Neverland, surrounded by an extremely strong negative energy all day long. No creatures living in the sun can survive there.
Of course, this is a bit inaccurate, because there is no sun above the Dream Island, and even Yi Xiao doesn't know where the light source in the sky comes from. Moreover, the only light source is very dim and will disappear for a while from time to time.
Most creatures on the island do not rely on the sunlight to survive. These magical plants obviously have ways of survival other than photosynthesis. Similarly, those magical plants that are special in the sunlight have never been seen before on the island. It was not until Yi Xiao lived here and used magic to simulate the sunrise and sunset that there were gradually births of magical plants that loved the sun.
So, similarly, Dream Island cannot be distinguished from southeast, west and north. Neither the vast sea or the vast stars above, there is no good reference. Yi Xiao just habitually regards the beach where he first logged into Dream Island as the east, so the Black Valley, which exists in the opposite direction of the beach, will naturally be in the southwest.
Black Valley does not refer to a specific valley, but all the surrounding areas are covered by a large amount of negative energy. Of course... there is indeed a valley inside.
Dream Island is an island covered by forests. Lush plants occupy half of Dream Island. Generally speaking, it is composed of four parts, the red forest directly connected to the beach. ≌↖门≌↖门≌↖门≌↖门≌↖门≌↖门≌↖门≌↖门≌↖门≌↖门≌↖门≌↖门平门≌↖门平门, and runs through Yixiao's Red Castle and the nearby lake.
The Black Forest is connected to the Red Forest. There was no difference between the two at first, but because of the gradual corrosion of negative energy, some plants close to negative energy showed an increasingly larger gap with plants far away from there, which led to the difference between black forest and red forest.
The Black Forest is already close to the Black Valley, next to it is the back of the Dream Island. A high cliff that is hundreds of meters high is hanging vertically, and on the other side of the high cliff is the waterfall and Mermaid Lake. The Mermaid Lake is connected with the Red Forest and finally forms the entire island.
Below the high cliff is the Black Valley, the forbidden area of the creatures in Fantasy Island.
Negative energy does not mean it is dark energy or bad energy. In essence, it is still just energy, and there is no distinction between good and evil. The negative energy on Neverland is not evil. It is just a collection of energy such as despair, death, pain, shadow, hunger, etc.
There are still magical creatures that survive, and it is a paradise for many magical creatures that feed on negative energy. However, other creatures suitable for ordinary magical energy are not suitable for it. If you go there easily, you will be subject to various negative reactions and erosion of magical energy.
It does not mean that it is a place of death.
There are many magic creatures living there, among which Yi Xiao is most familiar with, and it is also placed in it with his own hands. It is undoubtedly the dementor from the Harry Potter world.
Occasionally, there are ghosts, banshees and other existences who have mistakenly entered the Dream Island from other worlds. Yi Xiao also drove them to the Black Valley, but they were scattered and could no longer be contacted. There are also those who choose to stay in the Red Castle, but not many of them.
Originally, Yi Xiao planned to put the war knight's armor in to see what changes would happen after absorbing a large amount of negative energy, but he thought that this was something that belonged to the demon and had a contract signed on his body. He still extinguished this thought.
But overall, for wizards who can resist negative energy, they will still gain a lot when they have enough strength, because there are many strange magical creatures.
The interlaced plants are entangled together. They are mixed with large thorns with venom and cannibal flowers, as if forming a naturally generated gate, firmly blocking the entrance to the Black Valley.
But... this is not a problem for Yi Xiao who drove to.
"Here, sir." A squeak sounded, and the old carriage that existed since Yixiao's early days of building the Red Castle was slowly stopped on the path of the valley. With Levin's soft prompt, the curtains were slowly lifted up from the inside.
The magic carriage does not require human power to drive it away, because the Tianma is a magic creature with extremely high intelligence, but unfortunately it does not have any attack ability, and is even worse than the horns of a unicorn, so it has never had a status in the Dream Island.
Even Yi Xiao used these highly intelligent magic creatures as horses pulling carriages, but they did not restrict their freedom. It seems that no matter where they are, they are big fists, which is the bottom line.
Levine just sat in front of the carriage, and they would find the place they were going to go by themselves, and the journey was very stable and there was no stuttering, so the itinerary was very fast.
Yi Xiao got off the carriage and looked around. During the period he was staying in the world of ice and fire, he had not been to the Black Valley for several months, but now it seems that there is not much change.
Winnie blinked at her brother, and then jumped out of the car. During this trip to Black Valley, she specially changed into a simple outfit. The gray-yellow linen clothes and leather were mixed together to make an exquisite and decent leather armor, and it looked good in defense.
Of course, these clothes were not made by Yi Xiao. Except for the deformable magic armor that Winnie carries close to her body, all the miscellaneous items on Neverland are housed with house elf, including knitting clothes.
These house elves are particularly skillful in housework magic, so even an ordinary leather armor can make them particularly practical and sturdy. With a little magic spell, it is extremely comfortable to wear.
Otherwise, it would not last long to rely on the little things that Yi Xiao brought from the first time in this world, as well as the two replenishments in the Killing Valley and the Harry Potter world, and the food could be cultivated again through seeds, and those things that cannot be recycled are supported by domestic elves.
Before there was no house elf... I could only rely on Yi Xiao to do it myself, so Winnie's childhood was not as wonderful as she imagined, at least in details other than food.
The leather-armored sword, coupled with a pitch-black cloak, was the standard for hunting in the Middle Ages.
Those local hunters who lived in the Middle Ages could not afford such clothes. To put it bluntly, the farmers who couldn't eat went to the forest to fight for their lives and fight for the fate of wild animals. Except for a few hunters passed down from generation to generation, most farmers would be good if they could have a handy weapon.
Only Green, who does not belong to humans and wanders in magical creatures. Neutral magical creatures between humans and churches, can be so fulfilled. Moreover, most of Green is inherited by the family, and the largest seven families are loyal to the royal family.
Yi Xiao didn't know where the so-called royal family and these Greens stood, the wizard side, or the church between angels and demons, but it didn't matter, he would figure it out.
Leather armor will bring a certain amount of defense, but for ordinary creatures, in front of magical creatures, such as the most common werewolves, it is just a matter of one claw. Therefore, Green does not rely on the defense of leather armor. All they need is leather armor for easy movement flexibility. Green is a master of fighting alone, and has extremely high individual strength, especially when facing magical creatures, they have natural racial advantages, which is the characteristics of their clan's magical creatures.
It's a very strange feature. Should this be called the halo of defeating enemies? Yi Xiao can't understand it.
Seeing that both of them got off the carriage, Levin asked, "Sir, do you want me to go in with you?"
Yi Xiao looked at him and smiled, "There is no need." He said, "If you have time, you should go and accompany you more... The name of Veva comes. The population of Red Castle is indeed a little small, and it's not a day or two."
Yi Xiao had a smile on his face when he said this, although it was only a little bit. It still showed that he should be in a normal state at this time. Although he was like this when he had no soul, he could not see it at all, but the two people who were closest to him could still see some nuances from it.
Even Winnie, who was standing beside her, had an interesting smile on her face, obviously very interested in the matter between her brother and Veva. But Levin didn't seem to be planning to give them a chance to delve into it. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "Then... good luck, sir."
Although Levine complained in his heart that Yi Xiao and Winnie had not had children for many years, he would not say it out loud, and even avoid Yi Xiao's gaze when he thought about it. The wizard's intuition was very sharp, accurate and terrifying, and their eyes could see through people's thinking.
Levine drove the carriage back again. He didn't need to wait for the two of them, because the Tianma people would drag the carriage back by themselves, and it was not very safe near the Black Valley. Those unconscious negative magic creatures would not give Levine's wizard's butler's face.
So soon, only Yi Xiao and Winnie were left nearby again.
"Then...well." Winnie breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I haven't been to Black Valley a few times."
Although Winnie was almost familiar with every tree and grass in Neverland, she was still a little unfamiliar with the near Black Valley, because Yi Xiao did not let her go here. Once, when she was young, the place was even blocked by Yi Xiao's magic, blocking any creature's passage.
"Nothing good-looking." Yi Xiao shrugged, and he smiled, "It's similar to the Red Forest outside, but there are magic creatures living here mainly with negative energy. Most of them have no consciousness and rely on instinct to attack and survive. There are very few high-intelligent magic creatures born here."
"Okay, we don't have much time. Let's go in early and end early. We will try to leave here before dark, because after dark, it's not so friendly..."
As Yi Xiao said, it is not safe near the Black Valley, and the magical creatures here are not that friendly.
It is not the reason why negative energy is evil, but because the properties of negative energy itself, just like other energy and the most common magic power, are like this, not a characteristic, and there is nothing wrong with it.
It is difficult for creatures composed of negative energy to produce wisdom. At least this probability is much lower than that of ordinary creatures. It may be related to the fact that there is no rebirth in the negative energy, only death and despair. Of course, although this definition is also subjectively imposed on them, it is undeniable that energy such as rebirth and hope does have higher creativity than despair.
These low-level magic creatures only rely on instinct action, but unfortunately, their instinct is aggressive, so they have extremely high aggression. They will unconsciously attack nearby creatures and fight, whether they are similar or non-same, or devour them, causing them to suffer, such as actions that meet their characteristics.
This is a place where there is no order. There is only defense and attack here, death and recondensation again. There is no such possibility of communication as those magic creatures outside the world. Knowing that powerful and difficult to mess with will avoid it, this is also the main reason why Yi Xiao refused to let Winnie come here.
Because negative magic creatures don't care who is behind Winnie. If they are injured by accident, even if they kill them, they may not be worth it. Unless they have the strength to make them instinctively fearful, they will be attacked.
After night, due to the active negative energy, the creatures in the Black Valley were also particularly active. Although these things are not dangerous to Yi Xiao, they are still very annoying and meaningless. Competing with a group of creatures who don’t know what they are doing is obviously an idiotic move, so it is better to avoid them.
Yi Xiao pulled out an axe from the shadow on one side of the valley, then carried it on his shoulder, and slowly walked to the entrance of the valley.
The overlapping plants and vines were entangled together, showing a layer of inability to enter. Seeing the axe taken out by Yi Xiao, Winnie's face stiffened a moment. When she was about to ask Yi Xiao if she wanted to split the thorns, Yi Xiao whispered softly.
"disperse."
This seemed to be a very ancient language. After speaking it from Yi Xiao, there was a magic fluctuation visible to the naked eye. This magic power quickly spread to every plant in front of him, and these plants seemed to have been suddenly resurrected by some mysterious force, and they began to surge.
After being silent for a while, even some withered branches and leaves began to tremble. The vines that were deeply rooted in the soil slowly pulled themselves out. All creatures seemed to be awakened from their sleep and began to scatter to open a passage.
The magical plants affected by magic began to retract at an extremely fast speed. They left curved marks on the ground like snakes, and some left a charred mark on the soil because of their corrosiveness. However, they all seemed to be chased by some terrible beast. In less than a blink of an eye, they disappeared completely from Yi Xiao.
Looking at the reopened passage in front of him, Yi Xiao turned around and shrugged at Winnie, "Okay." He said. (To be continued.)
