Chapter 244: Wayfinding
The three of them stood somewhere in the forest, looking around, their faces a little dazed.
They got lost, and they got lost before they could even figure out where they were on the map.
If it is in an ordinary forest, with He Xuansheng's own perception and the identity of the next Lord of Nature, most of the plants in the forest will surrender to him autonomously, and it is not difficult to completely enter the appearance of the entire forest into his mind.
But here, not only could He Xuansheng not be able to do it, but his original perception ability was also greatly limited, and the perception ability that could easily spread to a hundred meters away has now reached its peak when it extends to about fifty meters.
What made He Xuansheng even more nervous was that all the plants in this forest did not respond to his call at all, and in the breath emitted by these plants, He Xuansheng sensed the same breath.
This kind of aura, no matter in which forest, or even the entire Spirit Burial Mountain Range, He Xuansheng has never felt it.
Respect, surrender!
It is much more difficult for plants to cultivate into spirit beasts like animals, and animals can rely on food or some other rest to become spirit beasts, but if plants want to advance, they can only rely on time.
Therefore, the plants in the ordinary forest will not take the initiative to show such a respectful aura, and even when He Xuansheng completely released the aura of the Lord of Nature in the past, the surrounding plants did not respect themselves to this level.
"Looks like there's really something here!"
Thinking of this, He Xuansheng's eyes were also a little brighter, and the map that Chu Xuanji copied released his perception, although the range of perception was seriously limited, but what he wanted was just to find the location that coincided with the map.
If you look for it as you go, you can always find it.
Sure enough, after more than an hour, the overall structure within the nearby fifty meters imprinted in his mind finally overlapped with the graphics on the map.
"Found it!"
He Xuansheng's tone was a little surprised, "In my perception, there is a four-way intersection about fifty meters in front of me, which should be drawn here on the map!"
He Xuansheng stretched out his finger and pointed to a location on the map, looked at it carefully, and said, "You have drawn a crescent moon here, right, it should be a mark made by the person who drew the map at the beginning, if we find this mark, it proves that we have found the way!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the two girls on the side showed a little excitement.
The perception of the two of them is not strong, and they are limited by not knowing anything at this time, and the range of perception that can be released is pitiful, so all hope is focused on He Xuansheng.
Although I don't know if they really found the right way, at least after being lost for more than an hour, they finally saw hope.
After walking some distance, it didn't take long to come to the so-called fork in the road.
"Where is the crescent-shaped mark here......"
Chu Xuanji looked around and found that there were no special markings, and Yu Guang inadvertently glanced up, and the expression on his face instantly became wonderful.
"Look, look, I've found it!"
Stretched out his hand and pulled He Xuansheng and Luoyang Qin'er, pointed to the mark carved on the tree on the side with his right hand, and couldn't help shouting excitedly.
"It's so high......"
He Xuansheng stepped forward and made a simple gesture and said, "When ordinary people make marks, they should do it at almost eye level with themselves, that is, here or so." ”
Reaching out and pressing it on a spot on the trunk, he looked up and down, and said, "So if it's normal, this tree has been so much taller from then to now?"
"This tree...... I think the teacher talked about it in class!"
Luoyang Qin'er stepped forward and touched the bark, gently broke a piece, sniffed lightly with the tip of her nose, her face suddenly changed, and said, "That's right, this is the blood pine that the teacher said!"
"Blood Kuisong?"
Chu Xuanji's face was also on the side, and he stepped forward to look at the position that Luoyang Qin'er had broken out, the trunk inside was red, and when he got closer, he could smell a smell of blood.
"What's the blood? What's wrong with this tree?"
For the scumbag, this is an ordinary pine ......
Luoyang Qin'er and Chu Xuanji glanced at each other and said, "The trunk is crimson and smells of blood, hence the name Blood Kui Song." ”
"The tree grows very slowly, about two years after the thickness is basically set, it only grows up to a centimeter, but this mark is at least two meters different from the beginning......"
Luoyang Qin'er swallowed a mouthful of saliva as she spoke, "At least four hundred years have passed......
"Xuanji, where did you find this map, is it really in the library?"
He Xuansheng's face was also a little solemn, and he asked.
"Actually, it's in the library, but ...... I read this book in the back room of the library......"
Chu Xuanji's attributes can make his body temporarily ghostly, ignoring all physical attacks, piercing walls and the like, naturally no problem.
He Xuansheng and the others also knew this, but they didn't expect that the dignified Nanxiao Ling Yuan would pay so little attention to the secret room of the library, and they didn't even have a defensive measure......
"This book is kept in a special artifact, so the paper or anything should be kept in the same state as when it was placed in the artifact......
"So it should be true......"
He Xuansheng turned his gaze to the four roads in front of him and said, "There is something wrong with my perception as well, there must be something different here!"
Although he had never entered the secret room of the library, Tian Qing had told himself that none of the books that could be put into the secret room of the library were simple!
Since this map comes from the Chamber of Secrets, it means that this map also has some difficulties!
Now that you've found your place on the map, the next step is much easier, as long as you follow the map honestly, at least there won't be much deviation in the general direction.
I don't know how long they walked, the three of them all felt tired, and the scenery on both sides remained the same, but He Xuansheng could clearly feel that the three of them had been thinking about the depths of the forest all the time.
There are many more medicinal herbs in the depths of the forest than outside, so all the way down, although they have not yet reached the final destination, the actual combat assessment of the three of them has been completed, and even among the herbs that have just been picked, there is no lack of holy products.
In fact, every mountain range around Nanxiao Ling Monastery has been carefully investigated by the teachers, and each forest has a movable range, and the edges are all covered with special yellow horizontal stripes.
But accidents always happen unintentionally, and there is a yellow horizontal bar in one place that was forcibly destroyed because of the fight of the spirit beast last night, which means that without the knowledge of the students and the teacher, a bridge was quietly connected between the movable area and the inactive area.
And this bridge, exactly at noon today, passed three people.
Although the road was boring, He Xuansheng and the three had to move on.
"Isn't it almost there?"
At a glance, I caught a glimpse of the circular marker carved into the trunk of the tree, which was the last mark to appear on the map.
Chu Xuanji stretched, it had been half a day since he decided to look for this thing at the beginning, since they had been moving towards the interior of the forest, their travel speed was not too fast, they would rest for a while after walking a distance, and try to maintain their state in a good state.
"It should be almost there!"
He Xuansheng looked at the map, and the further he went, the stronger the suppression of his spiritual power became, and at this time, the range that his perception could spread out was less than thirty meters.
As I walked, the last fork marked on the map appeared in front of me.
Unlike all the forks in the road before, this time the two roads in front of you exude a different atmosphere.
The road on the left is sparsely wooded, with many yellowed leaves hanging from the branches, and there are still a few bones left by the dead spirit beasts that I don't know what they don't know.
The road on the right is extremely luxuriant, and there is a faint fragrance of flowers in it, as if walking past it is a fairyland on earth.
The directions on the map are the road to the left.
At this time, it is not early, although it is not dark, but the sun has basically set, the jungle is basically dark, a gust of wind blows, the road on the left makes a sound of "squirming", it sounds a little crazy.
"Are we really going to take the left road?"
Chu Xuanji and Luoyang Qin'er were a little scared, looked at the two roads in front of them, pointed to the road on the right, and said, "Obviously, this road is better!"
"The map shows the road on the left, so let's go and see it first!"
Although He Xuansheng is also a little scared, as the only male among them, he naturally has to show a bit of masculinity at this time!
What's more, my daughter-in-law is also here, so I can't pull my crotch!
He took Luoyang Qin'er's little hand and said "follow me" before taking the lead on the left side.
Chu Xuanji also landed quietly in Luoyang Qin'er, and walked cautiously inward while looking at the dead branches and leaves around her.
The sky gradually darkened, and the content drawn on the map stayed at the place where the road was chosen, so the three of them went around and around for more than an hour, not knowing when it would be a head.
The surrounding scene was also slowly blurred because it was getting dark, but He Xuansheng could clearly feel that they had been walking down!
He walked forward for more than an hour under the dark night, because of fatigue, Qin Yun, who was not concentrating for a while, stepped into the air in one step, and his whole body fell downward, if it wasn't for the golden unicorn possessed in time, He Xuansheng probably didn't know where he fell.
The second daughter in the back also clearly felt a violent fluctuation in He Xuansheng's body, and screamed almost at the same time, and Luo Yangqin'er held He Xuansheng's hand and began to tremble.
"I'm fine, don't worry!"
comforted the second daughter, and looked at the map with the light element in her hand, although there was no next route after the fork, but directly above the fork, two horizontal lines were drawn out of thin air!
Turning your gaze ahead, it was a deep valley.
"We seem to ...... It's here!"
