Chapter 339: Helpless
However, this result did not surprise him much, this gourd-shaped mountain pass was full of weirdness, and when he was at the top of the mountain, he could hear the birds and beasts singing below, but at this moment there was silence all around, and there was no sound, as if he was in a Yin Luo ghost domain.
Shi Ren tried various pointing tools such as compass and GPS navigation one after another, but without exception, these sophisticated instruments also failed in this valley.
Just when the two of them were at a loss, Chen Sona took out a long bundle of nylon rope with a happy face, which is the safety rope she usually uses to resist emergencies when she usually plays those extreme sports.
Because she is an out-and-out extreme sports enthusiast, she will carry this bundle of rope with her on weekdays, but she didn't expect it to come in handy today.
Shi Ren didn't understand why Chen Sona suddenly took out a bundle of rope, and tied one end to the trunk of the tree, and the other end to the trunk of the tree in the distance, could it be some kind of special magic weapon?
Chen Sona obviously saw the doubt on his face as well, and reached out and pulled the nylon rope tied to the trunks of the two trees.
He smiled proudly and said, "Fix the rope to this tree, and then find another tree in a straight line with this tree by visual inspection, and then tie the other end of the rope to it, so that one of us will walk over first, and then the other person will untie the rope and go forward along the rope, and when we reach the next tree, we just need to follow suit, and so on, and so on, and it won't be long before we can get out of this ghost forest." ”
At first glance, this idea will make people think that Chen Sona is very quick, but this method is not the best choice to solve the problem in front of him.
It is often said that hearing is false and seeing is believing, but in fact, in Shi Ren's opinion, the ears are sometimes more effective than the eyes, and the eyes can be blinded too much.
For example, these two trees now, when you look at them from this direction, they are indeed in a straight line, but when you look at them from the other direction, they are not necessarily straight lines, and the light in this valley is dim, and the lines on the trunks are very strange, Shi Ren feels that it is easy to look away.
But at the moment, he has no other better choice, instead of continuing to do useless work in circles, it is better to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, and try it with Chen Sona's method first, anyway, he has lost his way now, and no matter how bad the result is, it should not be worse than the current one.
After the two had the same idea, they began to implement it boldly, during which Chen Sona did not forget to sarcastically mock Shi Ren, who refused to let her follow just now, and now who had to rely on her idea to get out.
But what is even more ironic is that it didn't take long for the two to return to the tree.
Chen Sona insisted that this tree was not the one they were staying in just now, on the grounds that there were too few footprints under the tree, and when she was tying the rope here just now, she walked around the tree, and it stands to reason that there should be many footprints.
But there are only a few footprints at the moment, so Chen Sona concludes that this must not be the tree that started.
Shi Ren pointed to the swastika carved on the tree with his sword just before leaving, and did not speak, but explained everything with a look.
Chen Sona couldn't swallow this breath and tried to find other evidence to prove her conjecture, so she carefully searched for another tree, and then exclaimed, pointed to the same swastika on the trunk, and asked loudly, "Are you sure you only made a mark on that tree?"
Shi Ren was also very sure that he had only made one mark, but why would another tree also appear, he hurriedly walked to Chen Sona's side, carefully checked the mark on the tree, the length and depth of the cross were exactly the same as the one he made.
No, even he couldn't tell whether the mark on this tree was made by him or the mark on another tree, could it be that the tree here still had the ability to imitate?
At this moment, Shi Ren really began to feel that this valley was full of weirdness, not just because of these strange trees with spiritual power devouring and imitation abilities, but because this valley seemed to have the ability to devour light.
It stands to reason that even if it was late at night at the moment, his and Chen Sona's vision would not be affected in any way, as cultivators, their facial features were already more than dozens of times more sensitive than ordinary people.
Just looking at his phone, he found that it was just past one o'clock in the afternoon, but the scene in the valley was already a little blurry, and even the nearby scenery began to be difficult to see.
No, Shi Ren suddenly realized that his conjecture just now was a little wrong, maybe it was not this valley that affected his vision, but these trees, if he didn't guess wrong, the texture on these trunks must have played a role similar to hallucination.
At this time, Chen Sona noticed that something was wrong with Shi Ren at the moment, and the whole person was in a posture that was about to fall to the ground, so frightened that she hurriedly stretched out her hand to support him.
Shi Ren's hands were full of blood at the moment, Chen Sona thought that the tree had hurt him, and hurriedly lifted him aside by the shoulders, and it was precisely because of this that Chen Sona observed that the trunks of the two trees were full of blood at the moment, and they were constantly flowing down.
It is not common for blood to flow from the tree, and it is accompanied by a pungent smell of blood, Chen Sona suddenly realized that Shi Ren's strange appearance should be related to this strange blood, so she took out two masks.
But when she just wanted to take off the mask on Shi Ren's face and put on a mask for him, Shi Ren suddenly opened her eyes, a cold light bloomed in her eyes, and her right hand firmly held the left hand she wanted to take off the mask like an iron tong.
Chen Sona was in pain from his grip, and suddenly said angrily: "Let go! You have just been poisoned, if you don't take off your mask and put on a mask, you will have to stay here forever." ”
Shi Ren still didn't let go.
"Don't you want to be connected, don't you want to save people?"
This time, Shi Rencai slowly let go of his hand, and then his eyes were dilated and motionless.
Chen Sona rubbed her bloodied wrist, her eyes full of complexity.
Unexpectedly, Shi Ren, who was like steel, also fell down and needed to be taken care of one day, after taking off the mask, the long scar on Shi Ren's face made Chen Sona stunned, and after putting on a gas mask for him, he put the mask back on his face.
Looking around, the bleeding trees began to become more and more, Chen Sona sorted out her thoughts, the top priority is to get out of this ghost forest as soon as possible, the goal has been set, but about how to achieve this goal to get out of the forest, Chen Sona is helpless.
Although Shi Ren had already put on a mask at this time, because he had just come into contact with the blood of those poisonous trees, it would take a while for him to come to his senses, although these trees looked not much different from ordinary trees, but they could kill people, even people like Shi Ren could not avoid it.
