Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1113: Chapter 667: The Old-Timers of Taboo Land No. 002

Humans can keep eating animals to get stronger, right? We didn’t have that condition in the past, but now with Ding Dong, the conditions are here, aren’t they?

It’s just unfortunate that Zard, the arms dealer of this time-space, can’t carry living creatures across, otherwise the Agricultural College could add new species.

Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, “If there’s ever a Taboo Land you can’t conquer in the future, you can find me to brainstorm solutions together, maybe I can accompany you.”

“Really?” Ding Dong was taken aback for a moment, then regained composure, “Now that I have the Killer Bear, there are very few Taboo Lands I can’t conquer.”

“What about Taboo Land No. 001?” Qing Chen asked.

Ding Dong replied, “It’s really strange there. Clearly, life born in the Taboo Lands shouldn’t be confined by the rules, but Taboo Land No. 001 is different; even we have to follow the rules, except for those directly born in No. 001. In that forest, there seems to be something very powerful, but they don’t come out and prefer to keep expanding the borders of No. 001, wanting to encompass the entire world under that rule. It’s a pity, there must be a lot of delicious things there.”

Qing Chen couldn’t help but smile bitterly, why is it back to food again.

At this moment, the Killer Bear entered the Taboo Land, and strangely, every time Qing Chen entered other Taboo Land boundaries, he’d be swept by a cold wind.

All Federal people knew, that’s the sign to determine if you’ve entered the Taboo Land.

But when Qing Chen arrived at Taboo Land No. 002, he felt a warm breeze instead.

Perhaps this is the feeling of coming home.

While pondering, Ding Dong patted the Killer Bear, making it stop.

Qing Chen looked overhead, where an unknown creature used its fluffy, white-furred tail to curl up more than ten yellow fruits extending from the treetop.

Ding Dong smiled brightly and touched that tail, holding the fruits all in his palm, the furry tail retracting, a rustling sound echoed from the treetop; the small animal seemed to have run far away.

From beginning to end, Qing Chen couldn’t see what it actually was.

Ding Dong handed the fruit to Qing Chen: “Ding Dong!”

(Let your friends eat it!)

Qing Chen asked in confusion, “What is this?”

Ding Dong explained, “This is a unique fruit from Taboo Land No. 002. Each one you eat allows you to not be bound by the rules for one day. Initially, we grew up here, completely unaware that the Taboo Lands even had rules until we went outside and met other humans to realize.”

Qing Chen looked at the yellow fruit, which resembled a bright yellow cherry tomato: “Can this thing be taken away? If you ate this fruit, couldn’t you go to Taboo Land No. 001?”

Ding Dong shook his head, “This only works within Taboo Land No. 002. As they say, ‘near the Viper, there is always an antidote’. Each Taboo Land should have a special food, and once eaten, you’re immune to the rules. No. 002 here has this plantain fruit, other places are uncertain. Some places might have a grass, some a certain type of ant, or even soil, or the droppings of a small animal… Strange things, really hard to guess.”

Qing Chen understood, if every Taboo Land was like a puzzle, then eating this special fruit was like one of the answers to solve the puzzle.

An answer valid for one day.

While the Killer Bear was paused, Qing Chen jumped to the ground and picked a bouquet of fresh flowers, then returned to the bear’s back.

As the Killer Bear continued forward, it curiously surveyed Taboo Land No. 002.

Six hours passed, and the sky gradually brightened.

Ding Dong said, “We’re almost at the World Tree.”

“World Tree?” Qing Chen asked, “Is that what you call it?”

Ding Dong explained, “That’s what the old folks call it.”

Slowly, they could see the trunk of the World Tree. Even though it was just a trunk, it gave Qing Chen and others the feeling of facing an endless, majestic Great Wall.

It’s now the spring rainy season, underneath the towering tree are shack shelters made by Ding Dong using the leaves and branches of the World Tree.

There are two rows in total, the first row is slightly larger, the second row is slightly smaller.

These shelters line up like rows of small green houses, neatly arranged.

As the heavy footsteps of the Killer Bear approached, Qing Chen saw countless small animals rushing out of them, fleeing in all directions.

Raccoons, rabbits, bats, ermine, furry monkeys, wild boars, badgers…

All these small animals are panic-stricken, running everywhere, and those furry monkeys are clutching a bunch of fruit… just stolen from Ding Dong.

A few small green snakes were preparing to escape, but were ruthlessly trampled by a group of rabbits, leaving them hissing angrily.

Qing Chen laughed, realizing not all creatures in the Taboo Lands are aggressive nor are they all fierce carnivorous beasts and poisonous insects.

Under Ding Dong’s restraint, even the carnivores started eating fruit.

Under the World Tree, like an independent animal Kingdom, it was akin to a fairy tale.

“Ding Dong!”

(Don’t run, we’re all friends! Even Knights!)

Only when Ding Dong spoke did they stop and stand in place, cautiously observing the guests.

Qing Chen said, “Ding Dong, they trust you.”

“Ding Dong!” Ding Dong proudly and joyfully said.

(Of course!)

At this time, a warm wind blew from the cemetery beside the World Tree, and the old folks chattered, “Hey, his young lady beside him is quite nice, this time he must leave behind a child before leaving!”
