At this moment, a hemp rope hung from the top of her head, dangling in the air two feet from the ground, and a clear female voice shouted: "Hold on to the rope!" ”

Xue Ningqing jumped upward, grabbed the hemp rope with one hand, and rolled a few rolls around her waist with her body, and a pulling force instantly came out, and the hemp rope pulled upwards and brought her up to the high canopy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Squatting in the canopy of the tree was a woman in green who looked about the same age as Xue Ningqing, with black hair and black eyes: "You just came here?" Didn't you encounter anything like this when you came in? It's even deep into here! ”

Xue Ningqing pulled the hemp rope off his waist: "I did just come, but it fell from the sky, what is it down here?" ”

The woman frowned and said, "This is the spirit of death, as soon as someone steps on the ground in the death swamp, they will appear immediately, so people can only walk from the branches." ”

In Xue Ningqing's sight, the large blue flames under his feet were all extinguished, and the fog faded a little: "Is it impossible to get out of here if you come in?" ”

"Yes, I can't go out, my name is Meng Ying, and there are some companions who came on an adventure together, I was expecting to go to the mysterious place, but I didn't expect to go to this forest first, and I couldn't get out for three years, and I couldn't get close to the mysterious place, as if I was trapped here."

"My name is Qingxuan, do you know the direction of the mysterious place?"

"Knowing is knowing, but you can't get close, and you can't shake off this forest, it's very weird. I heard my brother say that there must be some powerful wizard who cast the Death Mist here, and he can't get out until he dies. ”

"How many of you are there? Where are they? ”

"There were fifteen of us, all about my age, and we couldn't survive in our old hometown, so we decided to go on an expedition...... But I didn't expect to come to such a place. ”

"Don't be so frustrated, I can try to get you out of this fog."

Meng Ying didn't believe what Xue Ningqing said, but she didn't think Xue Ningqing was a dangerous person, so she invited her to other people's residences: "I'll take you to the place where we live, I originally came out to find some fruit." ”

Xue Ningqing nodded, and there was a measure in his heart: "Okay!" ”

The two of them walked in one direction among the dense canopies that intersected each other, and the rhubarb flew carefully behind Xue Ningqing. After a quarter of an hour, Xue Ningqing's eyes saw a clearing surrounded by several tree trunks, and more than a dozen wooden houses hung on the canopy of this circle, and some activity was felt from the wooden houses.

Meng Ying took Xue Ningqing into one of the wooden houses, and there was a young man sitting inside, who should be Meng Ying's elder brother, and when he saw Meng Ying, he smiled and said, "Xiao Ying, how is your harvest today?" ”

Meng Ying frowned and shook her head: "There aren't many, probably only for everyone to eat for a day, and tomorrow we will go to a farther place to find it." ”

The man showed a solemn look on his face, and then saw Xue Ningqing: "Who is this?" ”

"Brother, this is a newcomer I met on the way, named Qingxuan. Qingxuan, this is my brother, Meng Yi. ”

Meng Yi was still a little cautious, and did not show great enthusiasm for Xue Ningqing, but said lightly: "Are you also here to take risks?" Once you're in here, you can't get out. Obviously, in his opinion, one more person with one more mouth is an extra burden, and this person also has a pet squirrel on him, that is, two mouths! If she wants to join the ranks of the protected, she must throw away the squirrels or contribute them for everyone to cook! If it weren't for the fact that people would be repelled by the fog immediately after death, they would have started cannibalism long ago!

Xue Ningqing naturally knew what he was thinking, so she didn't answer his words, but turned her head to Meng Ying and said, "Meng Ying, you don't have to look for things anymore, I have a lot of grain and dried meat, and a lot of clean water." Food and water are fine, but the dried meat has been around for a few years, and I don't know if it can be eaten. ”

Meng Ying's beautiful eyes lit up suddenly: "Qingxuan, you didn't lie to me, did you?" ”

Xue Ningqing smiled, and directly took out a space stone from the spatial crack at a blink of an eye, and in the eyes of Meng Ying and Meng Yi, she just saw her take out a space stone.

He took out an air-dried cooked beef leg and a bag of barley and four large water bladders from the space stone, and slapped them on the floor of the wooden house twice: "Look, I still have a lot of things like this, enough for you to eat here until you die!" ”

Meng Ying saw the most sumptuous and delicious food in her life, grabbed the cloth bag of barley with trembling hands, and shouted excitedly: "I'm going to distribute the things to everyone to eat!" Then he carried the sack of barley out of the hut with great joy.

At this time, only Xue Ningqing and Meng Yi were left in the wooden house.

Meng Yi's caution did not slack off because of this, but frowned: "Who are you?" Since there is no shortage of food and drink, why come to the Far West? ”

Xue Ningqing clapped his hands and sat on a very low chair and said slowly: "I really don't worry about eating and drinking, but I have a reason to go to the mysterious place, I don't have any room to survive in the five countries, and I still have the enmity of my parents on my body." I'm sure you won't be here because you can't eat, you must be hunted down and killed, won't you? Otherwise, if you are young and strong, with hands and feet, where will you not be able to eat? ”

"What do you want us to do?"

"Haha, do you think I took out these to make you do things for me? I'm just wondering where to go. ”

"Joke, no one can get out of the fog of death alive, we've been here for three years and nothing can be done! I advise you not to have illusions. ”

Xue Ningqing smiled faintly: "Just because you can't go out doesn't mean that I can't go out, you can have a full meal today, if you follow me to the mysterious place by the way, maybe you can follow me out of this fog, but I won't force you to follow me, but I won't be responsible for your food for the rest of your life." ”

Xue Ningqing's words were simply a painful blow to Meng Yi, rather than eating such a hearty meal for three years without hunger and then going hungry, it was better not to eat this meal at all, at least it would not make people have illusions! Xue Ningqing became extremely hateful in his eyes at this moment.

"Humph! What do you mean by that?! ”

"I don't mean anything else, I'm just saying that I have a way to get out, and I don't mind taking you out by the way, it's as simple as that."

"Is it really that simple?"

"Otherwise, do you think that I will not be able to get out of the fog of death, and I will come in and deceive you? If you want to get a bounty or something like that, I don't have the life to go out again! Whether I'm trying to hurt you or not, I have a way to get out! Otherwise, I wouldn't have come in. ”

Meng Yi was silent for a long time, and after thinking for a while, she felt that there was still no need for her to lie in front of him, because she had no value here: "Okay, I believe you, but as for the others believe it or not, I can't guarantee that you will live here tonight, but I remind you to be careful at night." ”

Xue Ningqing smiled silently, and secretly stuffed the space stone back into the space crack.

At this time, a number of people came to the canopy outside the wooden house, all of whom were from Meng Yi's hometown, and after they had received the barley distributed by Meng Yi, they wanted to see what this generous newcomer looked like.

Meng Ying entered the wooden house with a smile on her face: "Qingxuan, everyone wants to see you, you come out to meet them!" ”

Xue Ningqing smiled, this Meng Ying was very good at her own taste, clapped her hands and stood up and walked out of the wooden house.

"You're Qingxuan! She looks so beautiful! A woman who was taller than Meng Ying came to Xue Ningqing, and her smile was very simple.

"Yes, you look the same age as us, or you're well prepared and brought something here!"

"Dawan, we also brought something here, but we have eaten it after being stuck here for a long time."

"Anyway, Qingxuan is really our lucky star, Qingxuan, you will live with us in the future!"

Xue Ningqing raised his hand slightly: "I won't stay here for a long time, I'm going to a mysterious place, I have a way to get out of this fog, if you are interested in going to a mysterious place, you can come together." I'll leave tomorrow, and Meng Yi has already agreed to go with me. ”

"Huh? We've been stuck here for three years and we can't get out, Qingxuan, you're not joking! ”

"Yes, not to mention that the swamp close to the mysterious place has no trees, how can it be a problem, and if you step on the ground, it will attract resentful spirits!"

"It doesn't matter, I have a way to walk through that swamp, but believe it or not is up to you, if you don't want to wait here to die, you can go with you if you want to try."

Everyone was a little surprised, they only looked good-looking, they didn't look muscular, and they didn't look like some kind of mage wizard The young woman was so sure that she could do something that none of them could do, and no one would easily believe it.

Meng Ying said heartily: "Since Qingxuan wants to give it a try, I am willing to accompany her to give it a try, even if her method of passing through the swamp fails at that time, I will not walk down the canopy at most, just walk a little distance from here to the mysterious place, I think it is worth it for the reward!" ”

Xue Ningqing raised his hand and patted Meng Ying's shoulder: "I like your thoughts!" ”

Everyone no longer raised objections, of course, they had a different set of statements in their hearts, but they did not express them, and after saying some polite words, they all went back to their wooden houses to cook barley to eat, and the enthusiastic Meng Ying divided the beef leg with a knife, and brought water to each wooden house to distribute it to everyone.

Half a day passed, and Meng Ying pulled Xue Ningqing to his wooden house: "Qingxuan, you will live with me tonight." ”

Xue Ningqing felt that Meng Ying was still young in the end, and she had no defenses against others, of course, all of her people here were from her hometown, and it was normal to be unwary of each other for three years, so she nodded and agreed: "Okay, Meng Ying, the bed here is small, I just sleep on the floor at night." "Sleeping on the floor near the door, if there are any accidents, you can deal with them, and you won't be implicated.

Meng Ying shook her head: "Qingxuan, I can let the bed out for you to sleep ......"

Xue Ningqing waved his hand: "No, I like to sleep closer to the door, so that the air is good." ”

"Oh, okay then." Meng Ying saw that she was relatively thin, thinking that she was not in good health, and she had some requirements for the air she breathed, so she didn't refuse.

When night fell, the smell of meat and wheat wafted from the middle of the canopy, and Meng Ying gave Xue Ningqing a bowl of barley porridge with two pieces of meat, and was overjoyed in her heart: "Qingxuan, I have almost forgotten the taste of meat, if I hadn't met you today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have eaten such a sumptuous dinner in the future!" For Xue Ningqing's gratitude, he was overflowing.

Xue Ningqing just smiled slightly: "When we go to the mysterious place, we can always eat our stomachs." I just don't know what the mysterious place is? ”

Meng Ying said while eating and eating: "The mysterious place has one in each of the four directions, east, west, north and south, but because the three directions of north and southeast are too steep, there are basically not many people who try to take risks, only the road in this direction is easier to walk." Legend has it that the mysterious place to the west is the habitat of the Wood Spirit people, where there is no danger, and the materials are abundant, and the people are simple, and they can settle there to avoid all the dangers in the five kingdoms. Xue Ningqing knew that the danger she was talking about must be some bounty hunting and assassination.

Meng Ying added: "The Muling people are very open, democratic, and hospitable, and when there was no seal on the blockade of the continent a long time ago, it was a place that people longed for, and it was also a refuge for many refugees. ”

"Then you say, do these Wood Spirit people still exist until now?"

"It should still exist, the life span of the Wood Spirit Clan is very long, they belong to the Spirit Clan, their natural lifespan is about the same as that of a high-level mage, everyone can live for about a thousand years, they live in a rich jungle, their physical strength and spiritual power are very strong, but they are not warlike." Meng Ying's eyes sparkled as she told this, and she seemed to yearn for a better life in a mysterious place.

Xue Ningqing will not easily believe in the legend, and what is going on can only be concluded when he sees it with his own eyes.

"Qingxuan, are you going to a mysterious place to find a peaceful and quiet place to stay?" Meng Ying asked.

"No, I just went there to find something, and I won't be staying for long, I should be back in the Five Kingdoms soon."

"Why is that? What is so important that you need to travel such a long distance to get it? ”

Xue Ningqing smiled: "Actually, I'm not sure if such a thing is in the mysterious place, but I just have the idea of giving it a try." ”

"If not, do you want to go back?"

"Yes, if there's nothing I'm looking for, I'll go back and look elsewhere until I find it."
