The next morning, with the dew, Tashi rubbed his eyes and suddenly found that Buzuo and Xiao Hei were gone. Immediately nervously looked around, and found that there were traces of drag on the ground. Tashi, touching the dirt on the traces, was fresh. Judging from the traces, it should be Xiao Hei and Bu Zuo, what exactly dragged the two living people away. Tashi decided to follow the traces and touch the melons along the vines.

Tashi was exhausted after a long day's walk, but the traces of drag were still ahead. Tashi, a little angry, could it be that this thing is dragging two living people all the time? This is incredible. But when I think about it, I think that my partner may encounter something unexpected at any time. Tashi, forcibly calm down and move on. In this way, for three days in a row, Tashi kept tracking the traces. However, not even a shadow was found. Tashi, utterly angry, helpless, disappointed, filled his head. Tashi slammed punch after punch into the petrified tree beside him, oozing blood pouring out, but it disappeared immediately.

"Why does this petrified tree drink blood?" Tashi wondered. Suddenly, a thought crossed Tashi's mind, "Dryad." But it was too late, and Tashi's hands and feet were firmly entangled in the vines, and he couldn't move. A waving vine whipped back and forth on Tashi's body, and in an instant, his skin and flesh bloomed, and the pain all over his body was unbearable. But now, Tashi has lost his mobility, let alone looking for Xiao Hei and Buzuo, and even he may not be able to save himself. Thinking of his mother and younger brother, Tashi rekindled his fighting spirit, bit the vine with one bite, used his teeth, bit the vine and entangled, and pulled it hard, his right hand broke free, Tashi pulled out the dagger from his right foot, three knives, and broke free from the bondage of the dryad.

Tashi thought to himself, "Perhaps, Xiao Hei and Buzuo were captured by this dryad, so let's kill it first." Tashi's heart was crossed, and he was ready to fight the dryad to the death, and reflexively stabbed at the blood-sucking petrified tree, and a scream came from the bushes in the distance.

"It seems that I stumbled upon the Dryad's true body. Tashi said to himself, stabbing at the petrified tree as he spoke. In the bushes in the distance, there was another scream, but the more Tashi listened, the more wrong he became, and he took a dagger and went to investigate, only to find Xiao Hei and Buzuo lying in a pool of blood, with countless knives in their bodies, and they still had breath. Xiao Hei and Bu Zuo, their eyes were in unprecedented despair and resentment, Xiao Hei pointed to Tashi's face, and said with difficulty: "You....why did you kill us?" Tashi panicked, "No, I didn't." Xiao Hei pointed to the dagger in Tashi's hand, and Tashi, who was panicked, hurriedly threw away the dagger in his hand. Xiao Hei and Buzuo lost their breath. All that remained, the remorseful Tashi and his heart-wrenching cry.

Tashi, gather up his mood and bury the two. Alone in the depths of the petrified forest. Without the company of Xiao Hei and Bu Zuo, Tashi seems to have lost his fighting spirit. What's more critical is that if Xiao Hei and Bu Zuo are really killed by themselves, then he will have to bear the notoriety of killing his friends for the rest of his life. Thinking of this, Tashi felt a wave of overturning in his heart.

As he walked, he walked and a stone wall of marble blocked Tashi's path, and there was no bottom in sight. Stone walls rise into the clouds. Where the stone wall is connected to the ground, there are unevenly distributed large and small holes. Tashi was puzzled and approached the hole. Looking at you with his eyes, the cave was dark and useless, and suddenly there were two red lights in the cave, which frightened Tashi to take a few steps back, only to see a small red snake like an earthworm crawling out of the cave. The snake stands upright and makes an attacking stance. Tashi drew his dagger and issued a warning. The small snake suddenly let out a huge piercing chirp, and I saw a large number of red snakes gushing out of the hollow in the wall. Tashi turned to leave, and the red snakes all jumped up and bit Tashi, and suddenly Tashi was wrapped in water wrapped in the red snake, like a fireball. Tashi endured the pain and used the dagger to cut a hole in the group of snakes to prevent himself from suffocating. The place where Tashi fought was mixed with the blood of the red snake, and the earth was smeared red. After several struggles and battles, the Red Snake was almost completely wiped out. Tashi held his knees and gasped. Suddenly, in the hollow, a small snake appeared, and this time it was blue. Tashi, this time, before the Blue Snake could give a signal, raised his knife and killed the Blue Snake. As soon as the big stone in Tashi's heart was about to hit the ground, the entire stone wall suddenly trembled, and the surface of the falling marble revealed cyan scales. This is not a stone wall at all, but an ancient stone python.

The thick and powerful body rubbed against the ground, making a clattering sound, the whole earth trembled, and Tashi didn't dare to come out, as if he was still with everything around him, except for the ancient green python moving in front of him. The python left, and the stone wall that stood in front of Tashi was gone. Tashi, endure the excruciating pain. Continue towards the depths of the forest.

In the petrified forest, there are many herbs. Tashi, use these herbs to make his wounds heal faster. Another sleepless night. Tashi, like a walking corpse, continued to walk. Suddenly, someone in the distance shouted his name. Tashi followed the prestige and saw Xiao Hei and Buzuo waving to him. Tashi rubbed his eyes in surprise, it was really them.

"Tashi, what are you doing standing there, hurry up and come here, I'm just going to send you," Xiao Hei said

"Come on, Tashi, we have passed the trial, and we will soon become feathered phoenixes," Buzuo said excitedly.

Tashi, dizzy in front of him, aren't they dead? Tashi cautiously approached Buzuo and Xiao Hei.

"Tashi, what's wrong with you, isn't your brain burned out, why do you see us so sluggish," Xiao Hei said

"Why are you here?" Tashi asked warily.

"We're a little ahead of you," Buzo replied sincerely.

"But, you... Aren't you already dead?" Tashi said excitedly

"What do you say, aren't we alive and well?" said Xiao Hei suspiciously

"I guess I'm tired, let's go see the selection officer. Bu Zuo pulled Tashi over, and the familiar temperature, generous and down-to-earth strength made Tashi feel even more incredible. The three of them came to the selection officer.

"Congratulations, you've completed the second phase of the trial, now go back and rest," the selector said.

During the night, Tashi told Xiao Hei and Buzuo all about what had happened to him. Xiao Hei and Bu Zuo listened surprisingly. Xiao Hei said: "My experience is not as rich as yours, I woke up after eating fish, and later found that you were gone, I kept walking alone, but my body was very painful, as if I had been stabbed several times, and when I was about to collapse, I walked out of the forest" Xiao Hei said. "I'm the same as Xiao Hei's experience," Bu Zuo blurted out.

Tashi asked rhetorically, "Let's not talk about our respective experiences. Why do we wake up and the other person disappears, I think there are only two possibilities, the first is like the first stage of the trial, it is our illusion, but we finally return to reality, this is impossible, there is only one possibility, that is, after we eat the fish, we are in the same place in different time and space. ”

"What do you mean, Tashi, why did I change into a different person after you came back, and we couldn't understand what you said," Xiao Hei said, touching his head

"Come, I'll draw it for you"

"The rectangular frame represents the position of the three of us together, just like the petrified tree forest, here represents the location where we wake up, here represents the location where we meet again, according to what you said, we have all passed through this forest, but in this journey, we have never looked at each other, and we have never seen each other when we wake up, so the only possibility I am talking about is that we are in the same position, but in different time and space, and at the exit, I am back in the same time and space. Tashi affirmed.

"Tashi, you said you were bitten by a snake, but after I found out that you were bitten, we didn't understand what you said at all" Xiao Hei said and looked at Bu Zuo, who nodded in agreement with what Xiao Hei said.

Seeing this explanation, Tashi's two good friends still couldn't understand, so they diverted the topic, "Since we are all fine, let's work together for the final stage of the trial" Tashi waved his fist and thought to himself, if he had the chance, he would definitely go back and find out what was happening in the petrified forest.
