Takemoto and Li Yuan looked at each other when they heard this, and neither said anything more.

Xin Zi's somewhat far-fetched smile was seen by the two of them, and they both knew that she had something difficult and did not say it, but at the same time, they tacitly did not ask.

For Yu Takemoto, not interfering in every decision of her master is her consciousness as a dark pile.

For Li Yuan, seeing Xin Zi's smile and knowing her desire to protect herself and Takemoto's hardships, she felt a lot of gratitude in her heart, so she naturally silenced her with interest.

The route was set, and the three of them set off for the southwest early the next morning.

After coming out of Qubu City, there is a narrow land connecting the east and west continents, although it is sparsely populated, it is not a barren place, so Xin Zi and the three of them can occasionally find an inn to settle down in.

But after this narrow lot, you will also enter the rumored last pure land of witches in the north of the western continent, this land that has always been shrouded in mystery is full of various legends, each version is very different, but none of the versions of the witch plays a friendly role.

Therefore, after entering the territory of the former witch, Xin Zi and the three of them have never been able to see any trace of human beings.

"Looks like I'm going to be camping in that forest tonight."

After setting off early in the morning and running around all day, the three of them finally saw a staggered forest in the distance, Li Yuan looked at the sunset that had fallen from the other side of the forest, and proposed to the other two.

Takemoto didn't say anything, and for her, who was not good at words, this was a tacit acquiescence to Li Yuan's proposal.

Although there was an indescribable cold aura faintly exuding from the forest in front of her, which made Takemoto shudder just looking at it from a distance, she and Li Yuan both knew that if they wanted to sleep in the wilderness, they could find a forest and sleep on a tree, which was far safer than directly on the unobstructed field behind them with the sky as a cover.

But the two looked at Xin Zi, but found that she was staring at the woods in front of her, with a strange expression.

It's late summer, and the woods look like they're bathed in late autumn, decorated from head to toe with golden or scarlet leaves.

Such a forest, which appears at the junction of the golden forest and human territory, has a self-evident function.

It's a mussel forest.

Xin Zi thought to herself, but was surprised that this forest was really like its name, stretching in a semi-arc for nearly a thousand miles, enveloping the entire golden forest in it.

Previously, after she followed Ah Brown and his party to leave with her uncle, Ah Brown insisted on letting her take the carriage for the sake of safety, and because she was traveling overnight, she didn't know that she had crossed the territory of the witch who had left the river clam forest again.

As a result, her original plans were completely disrupted.

If there was no forest in front of the three of them, they could directly enter the hinterland of the witch, and they would be able to understand the current situation of the witch clan for the first time - if they had all been evacuated, then this forest should be free of the demon Gu technique arranged by the witch, and she could safely lead Takemoto and Li Yuan away; If there were still a group of witches left in the Golden Forest, she could also use her status as the owner of Lady Liu's granddaughter's Seven Tricks Exquisite Heart to ask the people who stayed in the forest to withdraw the illusion they had arranged in the river clam forest and escort the three of them away.

But this is all based on the order that the three of them first entered the Golden Forest and understood the current situation of the Golden Forest before facing the River Mussel Forest.

Now she doesn't know anything about the situation in the Golden Forest, but is she going to take Takemoto and Li Yuan to break through the river clam forest first?

If illusions were still planted in this forest, Takemoto and Li Yuan would definitely be tricked into killing each other.

Before, Ah Brown Bao'er Ah Zhong and their uncle Liu Siqi rushed to the rescue in time to escape the catastrophe, and now the uncle has followed Mrs. Liu through the moat and left, if the previous tragedy is repeated, how can she guarantee the safety of Takemoto and Li Yuan?

"Girl?"

"Ah Zi?"

Takemoto and Li Yuan shouted with some worry when they saw Xin Zi staring at this scarlet forest in a daze.

Xin Zi came back to her senses at this time, pretended to smile easily, looked at the two of them and said, "Why don't we act separately?" Takemoto and Li Yuan, the two of you are wronged tonight, just find a hidden place around here to rest, I will take Yuchen forward through the forest to explore the way first, and I will definitely rush back to meet you before dark. ”

Both Li Yuan and Takemoto were frightened by this statement.

"If it's such a thing as pathfinding, the girl just leaves it to me and Li Yuan, if you're worried that the two of us are not familiar with the terrain here, then the three of us will go in together, and if there is any danger, we can take care of each other. In any case, we didn't let you go in and risk it alone, and the two of us waited here to enjoy the results. Takemoto said straightforwardly.

Seeing that Xin Zi just shook her head, she looked at Li Yuan as if she was helping, hoping that if he still had a trace of consciousness as a secret pile, he could also stand on his side.

Li Yuan didn't look at Takemoto, he muttered to himself for a while, looked up at Xin Zi and said, "Miss Ah Zi is worried that there is some kind of witch in the woods in front of her, is it difficult for me and a mortal like Takemoto to resist?" "If you want to leave behind yourself and Takemoto, two guardians with such skills, but insist on going into the forest alone to find out, this is the only explanation that makes sense.

Seeing through her mind at a glance, Xin Zi could only smile helplessly, and said softly: "I knew that with your cleverness, I would definitely be able to guess one or two." ”

Only then did Takemoto understand.

She had also heard of the rumored witchcraft used to deceive people, but at that time, she only felt like a mythical story, extremely far away from herself.

Now that the terrible stories that had been told from the mouths of adults had reappeared, Takemoto felt a chill in her heart and her body unconsciously shrank back in the strange forest in front of her.

This is the first time for Takemoto, who has never flinched even half a step in the face of the enemy.

But after a short period of timidity, she quickly adjusted her mentality, straightened her waist again, looked at Xin Zi and said, "The girl is grateful for the kindness of protecting us, Takemoto and Li Yuan, but are there any other dangers in that forest besides the illusion of the witch?" The girl went in alone with Yuchen, if she encountered other beasts lurking in it, how should she protect herself? I said it when the girl blew the jade whistle, in order to protect your safety, Takemoto is willing to sacrifice his life. So, please also ask the girl to bring me and Li Yuan ......"

"You have to go in by yourself, don't pull me on my back."

Halfway through Takemoto's speech, Li Yuan's words of dismantling the stage came from the side. (To be continued.) )
