Chapter 006: Exploring the Old Forest

Following.

The first rays of sunlight in the morning pierced the long night like an arrow from the string, bringing light and vitality to the land again. Da Zhuang and a few people came to gather under the big tree at the entrance of the village early according to what they said yesterday.

"Da Zhuang, what do you have on your waist?" The stone monkey looked at Da Zhuang who was trotting from not far away, scratched his head and asked with some doubts.

"Hey... I'll take a look at ......" The tall pole that was playing with the oil cake on the side, after hearing the words of the stone monkey, threw away the 'sharp sword' in his hand, and walked over with some curiosity.

"Hey, hey... No, it's nothing..."Da Zhuang's cheeks flushed, and his expression became a little unnatural, and he couldn't explain why.

"This is the machete you use to chop wood, right? What are you taking it for?" Before Da Zhuang could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a floating shadow fiddling with his hair next to him. Hearing Fluttering Shadow say this, the others also nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes... That's right, really, what are you stealing it for? You're not afraid of being discovered by your father? There will definitely be a fat beating at that time, and maybe it may be a 'mixed doubles' from your parents."

"Go, go, go... What do you mean by stealing!? It's so ugly, have you ever seen someone 'take' something from your own house called stealing?" Da Zhuang glanced at the oil cake that was still on his lips, and replied a little unwillingly.

"Let's not talk about this for a while, just steal it or take it, tell me what you are taking it for? Let's go on an 'adventure', not to chop wood, what can you do with it, isn't it... I'm scared, hahaha......" The stone monkey interrupted their idle talk with a raised right hand, and joked with a slight mockery.

"Nonsense, I... How could I be afraid, joke ......" Da Zhuang heard this, and instantly turned red from his neck to the top of his head, it felt like chili oil rushing to his lungs, and he immediately straightened his waist and tilted his head and retorted.

"You guys, after all, you're still young, what do I call it? This is called being prepared, just in case" Da Zhuang put on a face like an old man who had experienced all kinds of situations in the world, and said with a preachy smile in his tone.

The others shook their heads and muttered "Hey... Here you go again, your skin is really getting thicker," a few people leaned against the boulder, chatting and laughing.

"By the way, why hasn't Brother Yuntian arrived yet?" Floating Shadow frowned slightly as if she wanted to react suddenly. The other boys who were still 'fighting each other' only then realized that today's protagonist Yuntian had not yet appeared.

"I was just talking to Da Zhuang just now, and I even ignored that today's protagonist hasn't arrived yet" The high pole that stopped playing on the side walked over, looked at the entrance of the village, and looked up at the sun.

"Supposedly, this point should have arrived, Yuntian is generally not late......"

"It's okay, just wait, it's still early anyway, we all arrived early, don't worry, Yuntian will definitely come," Da Zhuang added.

It didn't take long for a familiar figure to appear not far away.

"Look at it, I'll say, isn't this coming" Da Zhuang instantly showed a bright smile and pointed to the direction of the village entrance and said loudly. The rest of the people all looked in the direction of the entrance of the village, and a young man walked slowly towards the rising sun, his handsome face and slightly frowning brows due to the dazzling sunlight, making the young man look a little more attractive to men who should not have at this age.

The 'stone' hanging between the young man's neck looked a little dazzling in the slightly dazzling sunlight of the early morning.

"Brother Yuntian......" A voice as crisp as a spirit bird suddenly sounded, as if adding a touch of vitality to this wonderful morning.

Floating Shadow's cheeks instantly bloomed into a flower-like smile, and his face was full of happiness and sweetness, and he ran towards the clouds. The others just wanted to go up to say hello, but they were all suffocated back by Piaoying's crispy 'Brother Yuntian'.

Several people looked at each other and smiled, shook their heads and sighed, "Brother Yuntian..."

"It's early enough, you guys won't stay here directly last night, right?" Yun Tian smiled at the floating shadow running over, as if he could charm thousands of girls, and then turned his head to joke at the 'evil smile' stone monkey and the others.

"Our 'big birthday' is finally here, hehe.. Everyone is together, then let's go" With Da Zhuang's sentence, several people walked in the direction of the old forest with a smile and a smile. During this period, Yuntian did not forget to seize the opportunity to 'appreciate' a strong 'preparedness'.

A few people walked for a while, ran for a while, and you chased me to leave laughter and laughter all the way. After a while, several people came to the old forest.

Da Zhuang and several people are here for the first time, if you want to calculate carefully, Yuntian should be said to be the second time. A few teenagers have only heard the older generation say about the old forest, as the saying goes, it is better to see than to hear, when a few teenagers saw the forest with their own eyes, they already believed in the truth of the legend in their hearts.

The boys stood quietly in front of the forest, silently looking up at something, as if there was a voice in the treetops, maybe it was the voice from the bottom of their hearts. The teenagers looked at it with reverent faces, and even their breathing seemed to become steady, and they didn't dare to spit it out at will.

"Yuntian, this is where Uncle Chai found you back then," Gao Zhuzi turned his head to Yuntian and said in a calm tone. But Yuntian didn't seem to hear it, and his eyes were still looking straight into the woods, as if he was trying to find something. There was a little more subtle depth in his eyes than the rest...

"I said brothers, don't be stunned, we didn't come here to 'worship', let's go in quickly" Da Zhuang's cheeks re-hung the previous excited expression, and said with a smile.

"Uh-huh, let's go..."The rest of them also seemed to come back to their senses, and nodded in agreement.

A few people walked towards the interior of the forest, Da Zhuang walked in the front, the quiet and abnormal forest, coupled with the tree trunk that looked too dark, an inexplicable strange feeling came to my heart, not to mention a few milky hairy children, even adults who have been crawling outside for many years, will become a little uncalm when they see such a scene.

A few people walked cautiously, and the too weird environment was like a boulder pressing on their hearts, which made people feel very depressed and breathless. Perhaps because the surroundings were too quiet, Yun Tian and his party were silent, and even Da Zhuang, the 'storyteller' who usually kept talking, didn't say a word at this time as if his throat was blocked by something.

"I said, there's a weird feeling here, it's so quiet, it always feels like... It's like something is staring at us, don't you think?" said the tall pole at the end, looking around and looking back from time to time, with an unnatural expression.

"Go, don't talk nonsense, there is not a living thing in this forest except trees and trees... Don't talk nonsense," Da Zhuang, who was walking in the front, replied with a commanding tone as if he was taboo about something. A few people just walked forward, completely devoid of the excitement they had before coming. I don't know how long I walked, and I don't know where I went.

"Why don't we rest," Floating Shadow said with a heavy pant, frowning and looking a little tired.

"Yes, I'm also a little tired, why don't we find a place to rest first" At this time, the stone monkey seemed to be a little unable to bear it, and said along with the words of the floating shadow. Several people stopped and nodded vigorously in agreement.

The teenagers instantly sat down on the ground as if they had no bones, gasping for breath, and the nerves and muscles that had been tense finally relaxed. Although several teenagers have been used to running around the village since they were children, there is still a big difference between it and rushing in the woods, and in the face of this unfamiliar terrain and terrifying environment, the teenagers' physical strength cannot keep up at all.

At this time, Yun Tian, who was speechless all the way, attracted everyone's attention, and he may have been like everyone else because of the depression of the environment and other reasons, but since Yun Tian entered the forest, there has always been a faint cloud of sadness on his cheeks, and his expression is extremely vigilant, as if he has something on his mind, and as if he is guarding against something. Everyone didn't pay much attention at first, and it wasn't until now that everyone felt that something was wrong.

"Yuntian, are you alright?" the stone monkey asked with some concern.

"Ahh Oh, I'm fine" The corners of Yun Tian's mouth rose slightly, revealing a shallow smile, and then disappeared in an instant, and some of the out-of-state replied, the stone monkey didn't think much after hearing it, nodded and just wanted to retract his gaze, but his eyes inadvertently stayed on the 'Yuntian Stone' in front of Yun Tian's chest.

"Yuntian, your Yuntian Stone seems to be in... When the stone monkey said this again, he didn't know how he managed to squeeze those words out of his throat.

"What?" Yun Tian, who was confused by the stone monkey's inexplicable words, asked rhetorically as if he thought he had misheard. Hearing Yun Tian say this, the stone monkey seemed to be even more uncertain, thinking that he was really dazzled, so he stood up and got closer, and the rest of the people didn't know what was going on, and they all looked at the stone monkey with suspicious faces. Their eyes moved back and forth between Yuntian and the stone monkey, but in the end, everyone noticed that the stone on Yuntian's chest seemed to have a slight abnormality.......

Yun Tian was stared at a little unnaturally by everyone, so he followed everyone's gaze and looked down at the Yun Tian Stone on his chest, which didn't matter, and he couldn't help but be startled. Yun Tian carefully plucked the 'stone' from his neck and held it in his hand. At this time, several other friends have slowly gathered over without knowing when. Six pairs of eyes were glued to the stone in Yun Tian's hand. It turned out that the inside of the Yuntian Stone was glowing with a faint red light, and even the Yuntian who had been wearing it for fifteen years was the first time to see it. Several friends had long forgotten their physical exhaustion, and they all shifted their attention to the glowing cloud stone.

"Yuntian, you show it to me" Da Zhuang, who was full of curiosity on the side, stretched out his hand to take it and take a closer look. Yun Tian didn't think much about it, he subconsciously handed the stone out, and at the moment when the stone left his hand, Yun Tian seemed to suddenly remember something, his whole body was excited, and he just wanted to grab it back, but it was too late, and the stone had already been taken off. Before Yun Tian could react, he suddenly felt unstable under his feet, just like standing on a drum that was being beaten hard, and then looking at other people, it was the earth, the earth was shaking, I don't know when, the earth centered on Yun Tian and the others began to crack, and the cracks instantly spread to the surroundings and cracked wider and wider at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The whole thing happened between the lightning and the fire, and before everyone had time to react, they felt that their feet seemed to be empty, and at the moment of falling, Yun Tian suddenly remembered another sentence that the soul said to Lao Chai back then, but it was too late......
