Ai Qing guessed correctly, under the mountain road they walked was a naturally formed reservoir, the reservoir was three square meters in size, circular, the water depth was less than half a meter, and the bottom was clearly visible.

There is a continuous injection of clean water in the upper stream, and then look at the small mouth of the water flow, the stone surface is smooth to reflective, it should be formed by perennial erosion, but the water level in this reservoir has been maintained at a high level, and there may be a water outlet below.

The dragon girl couldn't help but be thirsty, ran quickly to the side of the pool, squatted on the ground, and held a little water in her slender and beautiful hands, and sent it into her mouth, but the amount of water was too small, and it was not enough to quench her thirst at one time.

"Use my cup. ”

Ai Qing took out a translucent water cup from her backpack, filled some water from the top of the pool, and handed it to the dragon girl.

The dragon girl glanced at Ai Qing, nodded slightly, took the cup, put it to her mouth, raised her head and drank wildly, her fierce strength was shown again, the water flowed along her white neck to the collar, drank the water in one gulp, and finally let out a refreshing exclamation.

The appearance of the dragon girl drinking water stunned Ai Qing, who was standing aside, and he knew for the first time that girls would have such a bold side when drinking water.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen drinking water?" The dragon girl poured a cup of water, picked up another cup in the pool, and held it up in front of Ai Qing, "Do you want to drink?"

Ai Qing shook her head, "I'm not thirsty, you can keep the water cup for yourself." ”

"You dislike me?" The dragon girl suddenly went berserk and caught Ai Qing off guard.

"Why do you think that?"

The dragon girl tied the water cup around her waist, didn't plan to return it to Ai Qing, and snorted: "You don't need the water cup I used, it's not that you dislike what I am, stinky man, pretend to be high!"

The muscles on Ai Qing's face trembled three times, he really didn't want to drink water, but he didn't expect to be misinterpreted by the dragon girl into this meaning.

The pool is already located in the middle of the two peaks, and from here you can barely see the clouds above the main peak, but you can only see the clouds and mist, and you still can't see the peak through it.

From now on, not only is there no way down the mountain, but there is no other clear path, and the next route can only be arranged by themselves, the two of them are surrounded by a poplar forest here, and there are dense bushes and grasses everywhere, which is obviously different from the spring scenery on Mingyue Peak.

"Monkey, is it really spring here?" asked the dragon girl.

The vegetation of Mingyue Peak is all primordial, and this mountain is already a scene of midsummer.

Ai Qing pulled out a weed on the ground, put it on the tip of her nose, took a deep breath, and frowned.

The dragon girl on the side looked at Ai Qing very professionally, thinking that he could draw some conclusions.

"What does it smell like?"

"Strawberry flavor. ”

The dragon girl became interested, and she also pulled out a green grass at her feet, sniffed it fiercely, and looked at Ai Qing with questioning eyes.

"How are you lying to people? Where does this smell of strawberries?"

"Grass, it's tasteless!" Ai Qing said seriously.

The green grass in her hand was thrown to the ground by the dragon girl, and the gray-black sneakers stepped on it hard, and said angrily: "Then you smell a fart!"

Ai Qing glanced at her, not wanting to give her any explanation, he took the draft to observe its color, hardness, and internal moisture, so as to judge its growth status, as for why he smelled it, it was just by the way, there was no scientific reason.

In the end, the results of the judgment are that the vegetation here is indeed not newly grown in the spring, nor is it like the midsummer period, these vegetation is not just mature, but overripe, tending to age, the geographical location of Kuabu Mountain, the four seasons are distinct, it stands to reason that there should not be such a situation.

"Where are we going now?"

"Since you have come to the vicinity of the main peak, it is better to go to the main peak first to explore the situation. ”

Ai Qing lifted her backpack and looked at the weather, it was overcast, and she couldn't see the direction of the sun at all, so she could only plan the direction she wanted to go according to the model in Hawkeye.

The two walked into the woods and went straight in one direction, the road was relatively flat, much easier than the mountain road down, the dragon girl didn't know where Ai Qing conjured a metal cane, because she knew that he had injuries in his body, so she didn't care.

"Monkey, where do you say the lone dragon and the ghost will go?"

She and Ai Qing had just confirmed that the other two had come down the same road as them, but since the cistern, there had been no sign of the lone dragon or ghost.

Ai Qing shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what was going on, he frowned, bypassed one tree after another, and stepped past a dozen bushes, but he still didn't see the shadow of the main peak, and when he looked up, he could still see the clouds and mist on the top of the peak floating overhead.

According to Hawkeye's analysis of the data of Kwafu Mountain, they walked enough distance from the reservoir to the location of the main peak.

"Did you hear anything?" Ai Qing asked suddenly.

The dragon girl stopped, held her breath, and listened quietly, as a refreshing sound of running water came from behind the bushes in front of her.

Ai Qing's scalp tensed, and she walked quickly to the front of the bushes, raised her cane and swung it vigorously, cutting down a large area of bushes, revealing the scene behind.

"Smack!"

The cane fell to the ground and smashed into the branch that he had cut off, and Ai Qing was not good, standing in place and not knowing what to do.

Seeing Ai Qing stunned there, the dragon girl walked to his side in a few steps, and what appeared in front of her was a reservoir, and the water was constantly injected.

"This shouldn't be the place where we first drank water, right?" the dragon girl asked Ai Qing tentatively.

"I don't know, but the route we're taking will definitely not be a circle!"

Ai Qing comforted herself that this was another reservoir under the main peak, but it was more similar to the first one.

The dragon girl was not as surprised as Ai Qing, she had always followed Ai Qing, surrounded by woods, the scenery was the same, and there was no sense of direction at all, let alone remembering the route.

She walked a few steps to the pool, picked up a ball of water and slapped it on her face, washing away the sweat from her face, and suddenly saw a broken green grass under her feet, and saw that it was trampled flat, as if it had just been broken by her anger.

"Monkey, we seem to have really come back......" She was only surprised at this time, not yet realizing the seriousness of the matter.

After Ai Qing heard the dragon girl's words, his scalp was numb, his eyes blinked and blinked, and the electronic eagle eye was constantly restarted by him, but no matter how many times he restarted, the positioning given by the eagle eye was that they were already below the main peak, not the first position.

If human perception is an illusion, but what about the record of the electronic eagle eye, he walked completely according to the instructions of the eagle eye, he called up the travel record recorded in the eagle eye, although the red route is tortuous, but its direction is indeed pointing in one direction, without any arc.

"Impossible, impossible, I don't believe in this evil!"

Ai Qing muttered to herself, leaning weakly against a tree.

The dragon girl returned to Ai Qing's side and wiped the sweat from his face with a handkerchief, strictly a mask.

"Why don't we do it again?"

The whole cycle is not very far, just now the two of them only walked for more than half an hour, and now it is not too late, there is enough time for them to walk again.

Ai Qing didn't reply, picked up the cane on the ground, and pointed in the other direction, meaning that they would go in this direction this time, and go straight without turning.

This time, their pace increased a lot, and it only took more than twenty minutes to return to the position where the water was stored, and at a glance, they could see the bush that Ai Qing had cut just now, the water in the reservoir was still flowing, and the water level was still so deep.

"You stand here, I'll walk it myself!"

Ai Qing said to the dragon girl that he admired science, how could he succumb to such a strange situation?

The third time, the fourth time, the fifth time, Ai Qing returned to the reservoir faster and faster, each time he set off in a different direction, and finally he would return the same way, the dragon girl was already numb, sitting next to the pool, watching Ai Qing's busy figure.

The sixth time, Ai Qing walked back with his body dangling, he wanted to try all the directions, but his physical condition did not allow him to do so, he had already suffered internal injuries, after he tossed like this, the qi and blood in his body rolled, his face was pale, and his eyes were full of bloodshots.

The dragon girl helped him to sit next to the pool, she didn't know what to do, she had encountered such a thing for the first time, but it was probably Ai Qing who was with her, so she wasn't very afraid.

"Is this the legendary ghost hitting the wall? Today is a long insight!" Ai Qing gasped, the route of the Eagle Eye in his eyes had already been messed up, and if he continued to walk so endlessly, Eagle Eye might locate him abroad.

The dragon girl took the water cup from her waist, handed it to Ai Qing, and said softly, "Drink saliva." ”

Ai Qing took the water glass, her eyes lit up, as if she thought of something, and her eyes kept wandering between the water cup and the woods.

He stood up, holding the glass in his hand, and poured out the spring water inside, pointing the bottom of the cup in the direction above the trees.

"Since people will come back when they go inside, I don't know if this flare can be bounced back as well. Ai Qing said coldly.

"Flares?"

Before the dragon girl's words fell, Ai Qing vigorously rotated the base of the water cup three hundred and sixty degrees, and a smoking red signal flare shot out of the water cup and flew over the poplar forest, its range could reach a height of several thousand meters, so it was enough to fly through this circular distance.

Ai Qing waited for a long time, and the flare disappeared into the distance and never flew back.

"Do you remember what Master Hu said?" the dragon girl suddenly thought of something crucial.

"Huh, what?"

"If you have the idea of finding the main peak in your head, then you get stuck in a cycle. ”

Ai Qing thought about it for a while, as if Master Hu had indeed said such a thing, but he was listened to by Ai Qing as a story at the time and didn't believe it, but when he experienced it himself, he had to believe the story.

The dragon girl continued: "You have walked so many times, your mind must have produced a pattern, as soon as you step into the woods, you will subconsciously think that this is the way to find the main peak, and you will be trapped in this cycle because of this. ”

"Then what do you think we should do?" Ai Qing asked, his mind so confused that he couldn't think of anything that could be done.

The dragon girl hugged her shoulders and paced back and forth around the cistern, looking at Ai Qing sitting next to her from time to time, as if looking for a way to solve Ai Qing's mindset, provided that she didn't hurt Ai Qing.
