Chapter 406: Suspicion and Trust
"Probably not, I'm confident in my magic."
As a martial artist, Ji Lie didn't know the effect of the magic "grass eye", and the cloud shadow that used flowers and plants as eyes was not a cloth head, even if half of the earthworm drilled out of the land she could see clearly, so she was more worried about the condition of this forest now.
"Jilie, do you think there's something weird about where we are?"
"Weird?"
Ji Lie looked up at the sky above his head, which was almost completely covered by the canopy, and said with some confusion: "Do you mean those plants that surround us, to be honest, I hate this moment, the already fading sunlight leaks in less and less through the cracks in the trees, I can't even tell the direction we are in by the sun, but the night will be better, the stars will help me reposition, and the darkness will cover the various greens around me that make me more and more upset, hey, I'd rather fight people than go on vacation in a place like this. ”
"Hehe, Ijilie, your description is probably not far from suffering from a phobia of confined spaces, and then these green colors that are usually pleasing to our eyes are really annoying now, have you noticed that due to the obstruction of various plants, our vision has never exceeded five meters in all directions?"
Yun Ying's words made Ji Lie look around consciously: "Sure enough, huh-"
Ji Lie suddenly thought of a serious question: "Miss Yunying, since you have already discovered that our visibility is less than five meters, what do you rely on to choose where to go?" ”
"Ahh Later, the footprints of those people were difficult to distinguish, and I couldn't find them when I used magic to detect them...... So I just followed my feelings. ”
Yun Ying's expression distorted a little with every word Ji Lie said, knowing that Yun Ying had finished speaking-Ji Lie felt that she could already find a tree to hang herself, and follow her feelings, what the hell was this, in vain she had always been steadfast in her belief that Yun Ying was omnipotent.
"Miss Cloud Shadow, we're likely to get lost if we go this way. Even the officials of the Ania Empire who specialize in land surveying and mapping can't say how big this swamp is, in case we go somewhere and never go back......"
"So what?"
"Huh?"
"So Jilie, do you have a better way, you can work out the right route for us?"
"Uh......"
Yun Ying only made Ji Lie stop with a sharp rhetorical question, he didn't have any way, he thought that as long as he followed Yun Ying, he would be fine.
"Look, don't hope for others if you can't do it - you should understand this simple truth, of course, maybe it's the phobia of confined spaces that makes you a little out of order, after all, not everyone has received that kind of professional training to resist stress, in fact, you have done well so far."
When Yunying talked about professional training, he undoubtedly thought of his previous life. He was cooped up in a small dark room and left alone for a month and a half.
"Miss Cloud Shadow...... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have questioned you, I was supposed to come with you......"
Yun Ying's questioning of him not only did not get angry, but also enlightened himself, which made Ji Lie feel guilty in his heart.
"Forget it. Complaining to each other at such times is never a good sign, I am hungry, and now the sun is so weak that it cannot illuminate the road in the woods, and here we are today, I am hungry - make a fire and eat. ”
"Flyable ......"
Jilie's restlessness did not escape Yunying's eyes. But she could only say word by word: "We can't die before we see Feike." ”
“…… Be. ”
Seeing Ji Lie, who accepted his words, began to make a fire on the spot, Yunying thought of Yin Feng in a trance, she leaned on the trunk of a tree and said to herself: "Actually, I am also anxious, I entered this forest for a matter of life and death, but I know that I can't be carried away by restless emotions, I am walking by feeling." But I seem to have a strange sensitivity to plants, so I'm willing to gamble in desperation. ”
"Sensitive?"
Ji Lie was a little curious about the word in Cloud Shadow's mouth.
"I ...... I can't say—"
Cloud Shadow frowned and tried to think of something but was unsuccessful: "In short, it may be the advantage of a natural mage." And -- the road we traveled today was 100 kilometers, to say the least, but under my leadership, we still didn't encounter a swamp that trapped people, didn't we? ”
"Yes, if yesterday was a fluke, we should have stepped into the heart of the swamp today - we shouldn't be so lucky......"
Ji Lie's gaze at Yun Ying became firm again: "Sure enough, it's right to follow Miss Cloud Shadow!" ”
"Tsk, don't put a high hat on me. Don't think too well of me, I'm a selfish person. Do you know why I took you with me when I knew that you and Feike were undercover? ”
"I don't know."
Revisiting the old things, Ji Yeol's ashamed expression surfaced again.
"It should be useful for you, you can help me in the wild, even if I bring you out this time, so there is no guilt, we just use each other."
"I ......"
Ji Lie was about to say something when he was interrupted by Cloud Shadow: "Also, don't expect anything from me, I didn't leave you behind before because my strength is strong enough to deal with danger, but this time, as long as something happens that I can't handle, I will definitely turn around and run alone, understand?" I'm not the kind of good person you think I am, and any expectations you have will only make me impatient. ”
"Miss Cloud Shadow ......"
Ji Lie opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he could only lower his head and continue to light the fire, the atmosphere between the two in the forest was deadlocked, and Cloud Shadow also fell silent as he looked at the two familiar beast shadows wandering not far away-they had appeared last night, could it be that they were following them? Another druid-raised monster?
"Miss Yunying, although it may be a little cheeky, I still want to reiterate that Fei Ke and I have always been very fortunate to know you, you have taught us a lot of things and saved our lives more than once, so I personally don't want all the true feelings of the past to turn into suspicion, we have laughed together and fought together - of course, maybe it seems to you that Fei Cora and I have acted more backwards."
The awkward silence lasted until the moment before Yunying and Jilie finished their respective dry food and prepared to sleep on the floor, when the latter suddenly rolled over and felt that as a man, he should say something openly.
“…… Can I trust those laughter and fights? ”
Yun Ying turned her back and lay on the blanket she took out of the bracer guard, her tone softened slightly, in fact, she was secretly reflecting on whether her previous words were too heavy, after all, the two didn't know how long they would have to face each other.
