April 18, early morning.

Having left Qixi City several days ago, he decided to embark on the journey back home.

Not to mention anything else, at the very least, during these days away, he couldn’t help but miss his silly dog Bai Jin a bit.

So,

After leaving a metal sphere with Abba Lerna, instructing him to install it in a satellite, Chen Yun set off on his return journey.

Like his journey there, Chen Yun chose to walk.

He proceeded along the same direction he came, gradually leaving the big city of Laoag behind.

When he reached a densely green tropical forest, Chen Yun couldn’t help but take an interested stroll through it.

Compared to the scenery in Laojun Mountain’s forest,

it truly looked quite different here.

The tropical forests on Luzon Island, Philippines, and those in Yibin Laojun Mountain, Sichuan, displayed dramatically different natural appearances in terms of geographical environment, vegetation types, and ecosystem.

The tropical forests on Luzon Island, bathed in year-round warm and moist tropical climate, exhibited a complex and vigorous life force.

Here, large banana leaves and climbing plants intertwined, forming a multi-layered three-dimensional ecosystem. Amid the lush trees, coconut trees, mango trees, and various tropical hardwoods stood, interspersed with colorful orchids and other tropical flowers.

Birdsongs echoed from one to the other, and unique animals such as the Philippine tarsier, various tropical birds, and reptiles were active in the forest, showcasing typical characteristics of tropical rainforests.

In contrast, the forests of Laojun Mountain in Yibin, Sichuan, which are typical subtropical mountain forests in southwestern China, possessed a scenery marked with temperate and subtropical transitional area features.

These forests were covered with rich evergreen broadleaf and coniferous forests, distinctly defined through all four seasons with cool spring and autumn, moist but not scorching summer, and relatively cold winter.

The vegetation primarily consisted of plants from families like Lauraceae, Fagaceae, Pinaceae, and Taxodiaceae. In autumn, leaves gradually turned golden yellow, offering a stark contrast to the perennial green of Luzon Island. Streams babbled and waterfalls surged in Laojun Mountain, with mists swirling around adding a touch of a fairytale-like ambiance. One might even encounter macaques, goral, and other wildlife, along with abundant bird resources.

Truthfully,

Both places had their unique characteristics, showcasing the beauty of nature in different regions of Earth.

At that moment, Chen Yun couldn’t really decide which was more beautiful.

To be precise, they were unique in their ways, and Chen Yun liked both.

By comparison, he found the tropical forests, which are generally not seen in most parts of Hua Country, even more novel and interesting momentarily.

Surrounding him were lush tropical trees and vines, and the air filled with the sweet scent of ripe mangoes, drawing Chen Yun towards a wild mango tree laden with golden fruits.

The large mangoes on the tree shone enticingly in the sunlight, almost inviting every passerby to taste nature’s bounty.

Chen Yun looked up at the plump fruits, chose a perfectly shaped, brightly colored mango, and gently twisted it until it fell into his hand.

He wiped the mango with his sleeve, then simply peeled the skin to reveal the tender flesh inside. The first bite burst with juicy and rich fragrance, a delightful interplay of sweet and sour flavors exploding in his mouth, instantly transporting him to the exquisite simplicity of tropical charm.

At that moment, Chen Yun was not just tasting a mango, but rather experiencing a mini-adventure of intimate contact with nature, feeling the most direct gift and joy from the natural world.

Reflectively,

a certain idea grew stronger in his heart.

Truthfully, the deeper he experienced the unique natural scenery here, the more he felt the urge to wander everywhere.

Truthfully, with each step forward, Chen Yun became more immersed in this exotic natural beauty, his spirit gently drawn by an invisible force, awakening a desire for unknown explorations.

The surroundings were no longer static pictures, but vivid symphonies of life, where every tree, each bird call, and each gust of wind acted as notes composed by nature, playing a melodious song of travel.

Chen Yun began to realize how vast the world was, filled with countless awe-inspiring sceneries and cultures worth deeply experiencing.

From the dazzling auroras of the Arctic Circle to the majestic animal migrations on the African plains; from the cobblestone streets of ancient European cities to the mysterious depths of the Amazon Rainforest in South America... each corner held a unique story, waiting for travelers to discover and listen.

In Chen Yun’s heart, it was not just curiosity and appreciation for this tropical forest that surged, but a curiosity and yearning for the entire world.

He imagined himself standing atop the Great Wall, overlooking the magnificent expanse of Huaxia Land, or strolling along the Seine River in Paris, absorbing the romantic and artistic vibes; or diving in the Great Barrier Reef of Australia, witnessing firsthand the colorful and fantastical world beneath the sea...

This thought left him feeling both exhilarated and awed, realizing that life was not just limited to the routine mundanities but could be so diverse and boundlessly expansive.
