WALL-E clutched his iron head. Seeing that it was his master, he hurriedly waved, grabbed his trouser leg, and pulled him toward the southeast.
"Slow down, slow down. I know the direction. We don't need to walk this time."
Ye Qiyan picked him up and took out a Train Coin.
The in-station travel module activated.
The Solar Flare Wind outside was far too scorching, though with the Ice Vein Pearl, he had nothing to fear.
But the moment he touched WALL-E, he sensed that the little robot's body temperature had already risen considerably.
Quite a few scuff marks had also appeared on his boxy sheet-metal body.
There was no need to make him suffer more just to save a few Train Coins.
The whistle roared, and the wheels rolled.
The tracks extended ahead.
When they reached the black forest to the southeast, the train stopped. Only then did Ye Qiyan let WALL-E out, following him in the exact opposite direction from where he had obtained Red Tears not long ago.
This was his second visit.
The Solar Flare Wind echoed through the black forest.
"Don't go too far from me."
Keeping WALL-E within three meters of him meant the Astral Sacred Crest's automatic defenses would also shield WALL-E from the hot wind outside.
"Why is that feeling still here?"
He had originally thought the forest's mental influence was connected to Red Tears, but even after he obtained Red Tears, the feeling in this forest that made people irritable and belligerent had not weakened.
In other words, it had nothing to do with Red Tears.
After traveling through the forest for about forty minutes, WALL-E waved and pointed at a rock ahead-or, more precisely, at a sword embedded in that rock...
"The Sword in the Stone? But why is it red?"
