Chapter Eighty-Five: Multiple Attempts
After some discussion, the dragon girl and Ai Qing found a possible way out of the loop, since Ai Qing has formed a mindset, then the dragon girl will be the guide, Ai Qing will follow the dragon girl, and in order to ensure that Ai Qing does not think about the route in his head, he decided to cover his eyes with a black cloth.
"Are you ready?"
"Ready. ”
Ai Qing stood behind the dragon girl, because there was no suitable black cloth, so she used the dragon girl's mask as a substitute and put it in front of Ai Qing's eyes.
For this reason, Ai Qing struggled for a long time, wanting to replace it with something else, but in the end, under the coercion of the dragon girl, she obediently used a mask.
The dragon girl did this not without purpose, Ai Qing has such a great dislike for her mask, then her mask can effectively distract Ai Qing's attention after a while, so as to achieve the best use effect.
The two of them went one after the other, using the cane as a connection in the middle, in order to prevent Ai Qing from remembering the movements under his feet, every time the two of them passed through some small bushes, the dragon girl would use a long sword to cut it down, turning it into a flat road for Ai Qing to walk.
This was Ai Qing's seventh time walking this route, and it was also the slowest one, the two of them walked for nearly an hour, and the surrounding scene was indeed different from what Ai Qing had walked before, because it was a downhill road in front of him and the dragon girl, which had never appeared in the previous cycle.
The dragon girl was happy in her heart, but she was not in a hurry to tell Ai Qing the good news, she took her cane in her hand and walked quickly around the woods to the downhill position.
"Watch your step. ”
Although the dragon girl didn't say anything, Ai Qing could still detect the changes in the road surface under his feet, and the appearance of the downhill road made him believe that the two of them had come out of the loop.
"Whoa~" The faint sound of water that was extremely frightened came into the ears of the two again.
The dragon girl and Ai Qing both stopped, took off the masks at the eyes, the two looked at each other, saw the panic in each other's eyes, they didn't have the courage to go any further, if they returned to that reservoir, it would be a very painful blow.
"Let's go, I haven't seen it in the previous cycle of this downhill road, maybe it's not the cistern. Ai Qing comforted herself, and also comforted the dragon girl.
The dragon girl didn't speak, nodded to him, returned the cane to Ai Qing, and the two walked side by side, walking downhill, in fact, Ai Qing already knew the outcome of the matter, this downhill road they had walked, it was the same road that came down from the small square before, but for some reason they went around here.
He looked at the dragon girl beside him, and his mind was very confused, not knowing what the problem was, whether it was because of his own following, or because the dragon girl herself couldn't get out of the loop at all.
The dragon girl took a deep breath, the sight in front of her already said it all.
The cistern is still the same cistern, there is no change at all, the two people who are in a daze sit next to the pool, drink a few sips of water, and rest while thinking about how to get out of this ghost hitting the wall.
"Your reason or mine?" Ai Qing asked.
The dragon girl didn't know how to answer when he asked this sentence, rubbed the temples on both sides of her head with both hands, stood up, raised her long sword and said to Ai Qing: "I'll go by myself this time, if I don't come back within half an hour, it means that I can go out by myself, but, what should you do?"
Now we must find out why the two of them are still trapped here, if there is also a problem with the dragon girl, no matter how Ai Qing adjusts the state later, it will be useless, so it must be ruled out that it is the dragon girl's problem first.
Ai Qing threw the water cup in her backpack to the dragon girl and said, "There is also a flare here, if you can go out, don't go far, I have a way to get out." ”
The dragon girl looked at the water glass, her face was sad, Ai Qing had saved her, she didn't want to leave Ai Qing here alone, but when she saw Ai Qing's resolute eyes, could it be that he didn't want to affect himself so much, didn't that mean that he was going to be saved by Ai Qing again?
She walked slowly in front of Ai Qing, squatted down, gently held Ai Qing's hands, returned the long sword in her hand to him, raised her head and suddenly shouted, "What's behind you?"
"Huh?"
Ai Qing was startled, and suddenly turned his head to look behind him, but behind him was the cistern, where there was something strange.
I don't know why, he just wanted to question the dragon girl, but he felt a warm feeling on his face, this feeling, as if the dragon girl was kissing him, it was unimaginable that the fierce girl who had been against him would take the initiative to kiss him.
The dragon girl's lips just tapped slightly, the warm feeling was the dragon girl's exhalation, she leaned into Ai Qing's ear, and whispered: "I found that I like you a little? little baby~"
Ai Qing's body was like an electric shock, numb and crispy, especially the last sentence, which was too tempting, and the goosebumps on her body fell to the ground.
By the time he came to his senses, the dragon girl had gone into the woods, leaving him with a perfect back.
"Yun'er, I'm sorry, I'm passive......"
The first thing he thought about was not this affair, he did something sorry for Liu Yun'er, sat on the ground with his head in his hands, scratched his hair indiscriminately, and even forgot that he was still in a trapped situation.
The dragon girl is gone, and now he is left alone, and he has always had a question in his mind, that is, how did those people who had walked into the cycle like him before get out, could it be that their elite-level IQ was not as good as those ordinary tourists?
After resting for about twenty minutes, Ai Qing sorted out the equipment in his backpack, holding a long sword, and planned to try again, if it didn't work again, he might have to try if he could fly out with the backpack that the thousand wolf gave him.
"Bang ~ "
He had already set off to walk towards the oak forest, and suddenly there was a sound in the woods behind him, as if something was approaching him, his spirit was tense, he held a sword in his right hand, and in the palm of his left hand was a white chess piece thunder.
"This little white face, the old lady is so beautiful, she actually kissed him, this is a big loss. ”
"But it doesn't seem to be the first time to kiss him, the last time I kissed him was the mouth, so shy, I actually let him cheat my first kiss. ”
"Bastard, scoundrel, big liar, if you hadn't saved me twice......"
Ai Qing held the sword and froze in place, this voice was clearly the dragon girl, when he was not by her side, he would have such a vigorous self-talk, he didn't know how to face the dragon girl who was about to come out now.
When he was still in a daze, the dragon girl had already walked out of the woods in front of her, she thought that she would successfully get out of the loop, but the moment she saw Ai Qing, the whole person was not good, her eyelids trembled wildly, and she didn't know what to say for a while, and her face was flushed.
Ai Qing squeezed out a particularly ugly smile and said, "What a coincidence, we met again......"
"You're big! Did you hear everything I just said?"
The dragon girl rushed to Ai Qing, grabbed his collar and pressed it to the side of the tree, she was ashamed of what she said, but she didn't expect it to be heard by another party, she now especially wants to kill Ai Qing first, and then commit suicide, in order to completely erase this shameful memory.
"I didn't hear anything!"
"Really?"
"Really!"
The dragon maiden's forehead rested on his, staring at him like a beast.
The re-meeting of the two caused very bad consequences, Ai Qing heard the words that should not be heard, and when the two of them were separated, it was as sad as life and death, and they didn't get along with each other, and after they met, they felt more and more that their behavior just now was a fool, embarrassed to death.
"Why did you walk back?"
The dragon girl walked into the woods with confidence, neither of them thinking that she would fail this time.
"I don't know, although I didn't think about the main peak, I may still be unable to control it subconsciously. ”
"How did the people who came here to look for the main peak get out before?" Ai Qing asked.
This is not only his question, the dragon girl is also very curious, although there are also people who disappeared after entering, but Tang Hainan said that most of them still returned safely.
After some speculation, if the only way out of the cycle is not to find the main peak, then the truth ultimately comes down to human instinct, when a person falls into this cycle of death for too long, he will definitely be physically and mentally exhausted, thinking that he will die of old age here, which will cause him to lose hope in life.
When life becomes a desire, it is natural that you will no longer have illusions about the main peak, and you want to go home from the bottom of your heart, so that the idea of finding the main peak will be completely eradicated, and you can get out of the cycle.
But with Ai Qing's firm and unyielding character, as well as the violent temper of the dragon girl, both of them are masters who do not admit defeat, how can they easily give up something, even if they die here, they will die without turning a blind eye.
"It's almost four o'clock, we've been trapped for so long, and the lone dragon and ghost are missing, it's a shame!" the dragon girl sat on the side, tapping the ground with her cane.
"What time did you say?"
"It's almost four o'clock. ”
Four o'clock in the afternoon is a critical point in time, one of the time points for Ai Qing and Hou Yan to exchange, Hou Yan has disappeared since nine o'clock in the morning, and when he wakes up, he must have no idea about the environment he is in, so there will be no idea of finding the main peak.
The more Ai Qing thought about it, the more excited she became, and glanced at the dragon girl, of course Hou Yan could get out of the loop, but with the dragon girl, he might need to use some means.
"Eat it!"
"What is this?" a red pill fell into the dragon maiden's hand.
"Aphrodisiac!"
The dragon girl glared at Ai Qing and said disdainfully, "Do you think I won't dare to take aphrodisiac?"
With a mouth, the pill in his hand is flicked into his mouth, and it melts in his mouth.
"By the way, are you really the first kiss?" Ai Qing asked.
"You lied to me, you still heard ......" Before the dragon girl could finish speaking, she fell to the ground.
Within a few minutes, Hou Yan woke up in his body, looked blankly at the surrounding woods, and asked Ai Qing where he was and what he needed to do next.
"We're now in the mountains and you need to go through this wood. ”
"What's behind the woods?"
"Another hill, the Taoist temple is there. ”
Ai Qing casually made up a position, hoping that Hou Yan would not think about the main peak.
Hou Yan saw the dragon girl who was stunned by Ai Qing's medicine at his feet, and the number of generous statements fell to Ai Qing, and the main content was probably to scold Ai Qing for being a hypocrite, an old pervert, abducting and selling women from good families, etc., as long as he could think of a word, he would not be stingy.
In order to get out of the cycle smoothly, Ai Qing turned a blind eye to Hou Yan's words, swallowed her anger, and sometimes was forced to cater to two sentences, temporarily coaxing Hou Yan to be happy, and then settle the account.
Hou Yan put the backpack on his chest, picked up the dragon girl and walked towards the depths of the woods, his mind was full of the joy of his domineering reprimand of Ai Qing, and he suddenly felt a special sense of accomplishment.
