213. Wandering into the maze

Tick......

When it was about to dawn, Gao Ran was "woken" up by the droplets of water that seemed to be regular, but the frequency of falling was getting faster and faster. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Huh?" Gao Ran naturally touched his cheek, "It's not a dream!

At this moment, Gao Ran really woke up from his sleep!

She immediately looked up at the overhead foliage that was shielding her from most of the rain.

"Fortunately, the branches and foliage of this tree are dense enough, otherwise I would have become a soup chicken by now!"

Although at this moment, Gao Ran's body was still a little wet by a small amount of rain that passed through the layers of dense branches and leaves and finally dripped down, but compared to the obvious and heavier rain she heard in her ears, it was actually very lucky to be able to get so wet!

"Alas, the weather here is really cloudy and sunny! Why is it going to rain without any warning?!

"It's true that I need water, but that's too much, isn't it?! God, you're really 'generous'! You 'sent' me a downpour when a light rain could have solved it......

"Well, I wish I hadn't been all day! I don't want to spend all day in this tree -- I can't move at will. ”

Talking to himself, Gao Ran casually picked a leaf from the tree, rolled it into a cup, and then climbed some distance towards the edge of the branch, reaching out and sending the "leaf cup" to the place near the edge, where the branches and leaves grew sparsely and rainwater could be poured down in large quantities. And so she drank the rain from cup to cup until her thirst was quenched.

After drinking enough, Gao Ran climbed back again, readjusted a more comfortable position, and continued to wait quietly, waiting for the rain to stop.

Fortunately, in the past few years, due to the relationship between practicing internal strength, and her most authentic personality is like quiet, so let alone just being still for a while, even if she keeps a sitting posture still all day long, it is not difficult for Gao Ran today.

――

It was close to noon when the rain became noticeably lighter, and it stopped suddenly in a short time!

"Heh!" Gao Ran couldn't help but sneer.

Seeing that the clouds in the sky began to disperse, and the sunlight then scattered sporadically, and then the range of irradiation became larger and stronger, and even the temperature rose significantly in a short time...... In this situation, Gao Ran didn't know how else to feel in addition to sighing a little about her luck that she didn't know whether it was "lucky" or "unlucky".

"Yesterday, I was poisoned and had to hide in this dense forest at noon. Now, when the rain stopped, I found that it was noon again!

Gao Ran thought about it, and finally decided: Let's go!

She didn't want to delay her "abstract plan" for the sake of an unpredictable concrete future: she had planned to get to the next city as soon as possible. If possible, she hopes to arrive today. As for what kind of weather she will encounter and what kind of road she will take along the way, these are really not in her "plan". She hadn't thought about it from beginning to end, and she didn't want to think about it. I just think that I can adapt to the situation, and if I encounter it, then analyze the specific problem specifically!

So, with such a mentality and thoughts, Gao Ran, in order to continue her original plan, she decided to set off as soon as possible! However, in order to avoid being directly exposed to the sun, she decided to take the mountain road instead. - Because there is a small area of shade here that can block her from a lot of daylight.

Although it might have taken her to the next city in this way, and it would probably be much more difficult to walk than the main road she had taken, at least it would make her significantly less likely to die of sunburn or thirst on the way!--she was not familiar with this area, and she did not dare to think that she would be so lucky to be able to walk again to the next mountain forest when she was about to exhaust her strength......

So, driven by the dual motivation that she didn't want to delay her plan, and the scorching sun that caused her to temporarily change her route, Gao Ran naturally chose to go deeper into this dense forest......

However, as it approached evening, she still did not make it out of the woods.

It was only then that Gao Ran really realized the seriousness of the matter: at first, she just thought that she might be lost, and she would keep spinning around in the forest that seemed to stretch just two mountains, but she couldn't get out, but later, no matter how many methods she tried, she still didn't have a clue, and she still walked around in places that seemed familiar and seemed different, but finally returned to the starting point where she was originally lost, and still couldn't get out. It wasn't until this time that she really believed correctly, she was not an ordinary lost, but a maze deliberately laid by a master!

But the tricky thing is that Gao Ran was only interested in the art of Naqimen Dunjia at the beginning, and considering that she had to learn at least eighty percent of Zhao Yi's medical and poison skills within two years, plus she had to insist on practicing internal skills every day...... Considering that her energy was really insufficient, she simply gave up studying in this area.

But I didn't think that today, she would stumble into the maze laid by others - what's worse, at this time, she was still alone!

"Well, the more you are afraid, the more you come...... Am I too lucky, or am I too unlucky?!"

For some reason, at this moment, Gao Ran suddenly felt that if she could not be trapped in this maze, then what she would encounter next would be a blessing or a curse, only in her thoughts!

Thinking about it like this, Gao Ran was sure of one thing: no matter what, she couldn't reveal her true identity!

The reason for this awareness is not unfounded: although Gao Ran could not break this array, she could be sure that in this array, except for a "poison barrier" that could cause ordinary people to fall unconscious, there was no mechanism that could harm the life of the trespasser.

From this, Gao Ran speculated that perhaps the real purpose of the people who set up this formation was not to punish those who trespassed on their "territory", but perhaps only to prevent the trespassers from intruding too easily into their "territory". And, if she guessed correctly, the forest should have been just a cover—to protect the real point of the master's house from being easily invaded by outsiders.

Thinking of this, Gao Ran was sure: she had been going around like this for most of the day, but she still hadn't passed out because of the poisonous gas released by the "poison barrier", and it was still daylight...... She has behaved so obviously, it should be easy for the host to find out her whereabouts!

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Gao Ran finally had the courage to use her internal strength and deliberately "expanded" the scope of her voice transmission - just so that anyone who might be lurking around her but had a little internal strength could easily hear it: "In Xia Nai, an 'ordinary' traveler, who has just come to Banana Country, does not know much about this place. I didn't want to, but I stumbled into this formation by mistake. I also hope that Your Excellency will be aware that there is no malice in the next place, but I just want to go out early, so that I can go to the nearest town to spend the night early. That's it!"

Although she said this, Gao Ran already had a premonition in her heart: tonight, she was expecting to rush to the next city to spend the night. However, she may be able to stay in the home of the person who set up this forest formation for a while......
