Chapter Twenty-Six: There Is Heaven Outside the Sky
Because of the Giant Python Rebellion, after Qiji carried Helian Xiaojiang for a headless and brainless mess, they got lost! Not to mention getting out of the Lost Forest, even if they walked back to the place where Helian Xiaojiang was trapped.
Qi Ji carried the two people on his back, and under the command of the blue wolf, he moved forward, encountered obstacles, retreated, changed directions and continued to move forward, and then encountered a dead end and retreated...... And so on and so forth. The blue wolf found that not only did the sense of direction that he was proud of fail, but the mark he had drawn when he entered the forest had also disappeared. Now he groped his way forward like a blind man with his eyes closed.
This mystical forest is truly unfathomable.
I kept taking detours and didn't know when I would be able to get out. During this period, the two rested three times and replenished food and water twice. The sun rises from the horizon and sets back to the horizon, and the moon rises and sets back to the horizon. A day and a night passed, Helian Xiaojiang was already very calmly leaning on the blue wolf and gossiping. Although most of the time she is just talking alone.
"By the way, did you defeat that python?" Helian Xiaojiang was a little nervous when he asked this question. Of course, she was glad that the blue wolf was able to retreat, but in her heart, she was also inexplicably concerned about the situation of the fierce python.
As soon as the question came out, I felt that the chest on my back instantly stiffened, and then a cold sentence floated over my head: "No." ”
"Oh. Helian Xiaojiang breathed a sigh of relief. But she didn't see the wolf behind her.
When the enemy is strong and we are weak, there is no chance of victory. Escaping seemed to be the most rational and correct choice at the time. However, whether it is "sanity" or "correctness", escaping is a disgrace to bounty hunters and martial arts practitioners. No one can deny this.
The blue wolf has never been a man of war. The attitude towards force is also very good, it is a survival skill, and it is used where it should be used. Bullying should not be used to abuse violence. But on the other hand, if you meet a strong opponent, the sense of competition will be stimulated.
If you want to win, this is human nature and the dignity of a warrior. Being able to confront someone with a force value equal to or higher than his own will always make the wolf's blood swell and make him excited. He is looking forward to such a hearty competition, which is a measure of his own strength and an adjustment to his pride mentality.
A distress is also an improvement and an encouragement, so that the blue wolf can realize the fact that people are outside the world again and again. If he had the chance, he would be willing to come back and play another game with the python of the Lost Forest.
Finally, under the experience of the blue wolf and the intuition of the spirit beast Qiji, he finally found some eyebrows. The blue wolf stroked the sign he made when he entered the forest on the towering tree that the five people around him could hug together, and with the sign, he could walk out of the forest as long as he followed the opposite direction of the mark.
Knowing this, Helian Xiaojiang, who was sitting in front, began to actively look for the mark, her eyes were quick, and a small mark was always found a little later than the blue wolf, the person who made the mark.
"I found it over there, over there. Helian Xiaojiang excitedly pointed to the next mark and shouted, as if it was a game. In such a "joyful" atmosphere, after walking forward for about half an hour, Helian Xiaojiang skimmed a mark again, and when he opened his mouth to bark, he was covered by the blue wolf behind him.
"Huh?"
The blue wolf covered Helian Xiaojiang's mouth with one hand and grabbed the reins with the other. Qi Ji was pulled and had to straighten his neck, and his hooves stopped. The reins tightened in the air, and the blue wolf smelled the danger in the air almost immediately.
The two of them and the beast held their breath and paused in place. Soon, the blue wolf tugged on the side of the reins with his right hand, and Qi Ji turned around and ran straight into the forest without stopping. The blue wolf's face became more and more strict, and Qi Ji's feet became faster and faster.
The bearded man didn't bluff, and the reinforcements came after him so quickly.
Sending troops to other countries is a taboo on the Kyushu mainland. The entry of a country's troops into the territory of another country is a default declaration of war. This is not allowed by the laws of this world, and if the lord of the kingdom ignores the law and does so, it is said that he will be punished by heaven. It seems that the lord of Qingguo really believes in that rumor, even if he breaks the law, he will kill the "red devil".
Just now, the closer he got to the edge of the forest, the more the blue wolf could feel the gathered crowd, the restless killing intent and the faint sound of horses' hooves. The blue wolf could hardly believe his ears. He estimated in his heart that there were hundreds of pursuers behind.
The blue wolf shook his head and settled his mind, spurring Qi Ji to hurry up. Start running with all your heart.
If you continue to move forward, you can successfully get out of the dangerous mystical forest, but it is inevitable that you will meet the soldiers of the Qingguo Hundred Regiment. Fighting head-on with hundreds of well-trained soldiers is not enough with good luck and martial arts. The winning side is too small, and the blue wolf with Helian Xiaojiang does not even have a 1 in 1,000 probability. So the blue wolf quickly made up his mind to go in the opposite direction to the depths of the forest.
Try your luck inside the Lost Forest and find another exit, maybe there's a chance of survival.
Everything in the Lost Forest is unknown. There are no ancestors to tell us about the survival experience, and there is no known map guide. The deeper you go, the denser the trees become, and the spacing between them becomes very narrow. There are also more strange-looking animals that can't be identified as what species they are. The denser the forest, the more muddy the land becomes. Although the blue wolf has been spurring Qiji, it has no effect.
From the beginning of being covered with his mouth and nose and turning the direction to now, Helian Xiaojiang has not made a sound. From the blue wolf's series of behaviors, she keenly knew that something was wrong, something was wrong, but she didn't know what was going on. So she silently leaned against the solid chest of the blue wolf, trusting him wholeheartedly.
The strong and sturdy Qiji is almost difficult to walk, and every step must be considered in advance, which is a difficult test for Qiji, who is as small as a horse in brain capacity. It is good at running, and the more extensive the plains, the fewer obstacles, the more it can use its foot advantage.
Now they're stuck in the middle of every inch. To pass through the narrow gaps between the trees, Qi Ji shrunk his body as much as possible, and slowly shuttled one step to the left and one step to the right, which completely limited its own advantages.
There were people behind them who were pressing on each step, and they almost stopped.
It's terrible.
"yu~" The blue wolf tightened the reins to make Qiji stop, and he jumped to the ground. Helian Xiaojiang didn't know what he was doing, but when she saw the blue wolf jumping down, she also jumped down.
"Don't move. The blue wolf reached out to stop her next move: "Don't come down." ”
"Huh?" Helian Xiaojiang tilted his head, puzzled.
"You sit in Qiji and keep walking in this direction, and I'll go and lead the people behind you. The blue wolf quickly explained, and the reins were thrown to Helian Xiaojiang. Who is the "person in the back", even if it is not explicitly said that Helian Xiaojiang has a slight association, it is nothing more than the person who wants her life.
