65. Chapter 65
Hong Wubo did not doubt him, followed Wu Chuansen's side, and under the cover of Wu Chuansen's formation, the two continued to rush out together.
When I didn't enter the forest during the day, I just felt that the forest was sparse and didn't cover a large area, as if it was easy to escape.
At this moment, trapped in the killing array of Shizhenguo, the two of them understood the horror of Shizhenguo.
The gap between the trees is not convenient for others to escape, but for the convenience of eating precious fruits and weaving nets with each other, although the forest is not large, but the roots of the trees are densely packed all over every corner, even if there is a formation, every step is extremely difficult.
As he walked, Wu Chuansen suddenly asked, "We have lost our way now, we haven't gone out for so long, and we may even be spinning in the food treasure fruit forest." Wu Bo, you came from the camp, do you remember the direction you came? ”
Hong Wubo lowered his head and followed behind Wu Chuansen in a dull manner, without answering.
Wu Chuansen turned his head and shouted, "Wu Bo?!" ”
Hong Wubo trembled all over, and woke up suddenly, but his voice was extremely weak: "Senior, senior brother, are we going out?" ”
Wu Chuansen took a closer look at Hong Wubo, and saw that the roots of the trees around Hong Wubo were getting denser and denser, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, Hong Wubo's body seemed to have become smaller, and the whole person was one layer shorter.
Wu Chuansen slowly retracted his gaze: "Not yet, you can follow me with peace of mind, don't worry." ”
"Senior brother, I'm so cold." Hong Wubo said in a low voice, "I'm almost unconscious from the cold, my body hurts and itchy, senior brother, you must take me out, you can't leave me." ”
"How could I have left you. You have grown up watching me, and you have been loyal to me all these years, even if you die, the two of us will die together. Wu Chuansen looked at Hong Wubo, said meaningfully, and stretched out his hand to help Hong Wubo, "Come, senior brother is holding you." ”
Hong Wubo nodded and continued to follow Wu Chuansen.
Another half an hour passed, and with Wu Chuansen's efforts, the two finally walked to the edge of the woods.
Although it has not yet completely gone out, the roots of the trees that cover the sky are getting thinner and thinner, the starlight in the sky is faintly visible through the gaps, and the sound of the gurgling water of the stream is heard in the distance.
Wu Chuansen, who was already extremely tired, immediately cheered up and dragged Hong Wubo, who was no more than half his height, out.
"Senior brother, senior brother......" Hong Wubo's voice came out of the roots of the tree in a broken way, frightened and frightened, obviously realizing that his current situation was critical, and he was afraid that his life would not be long in coming.
"Don't make a noise!" Wu Chuansen patted his body, and saw that Hong Wubo's body was still shrinking, and it was becoming more and more similar to those edible fruits, so he nodded with satisfaction.
Along the way, Wu Chuansen has been supporting the talisman formation by relying on the food treasure fruit in his hand, which has lasted until now, but at this time, the food treasure fruit has been eaten by him, and in a few minutes, the formation will disappear.
He had to escape from the Treasure Eater Fruit Forest before the formation completely disappeared before he had the life to return to the sect.
Although he didn't take much fruit this trip, but with Hong Wubo by his side, it was also a harvest, thinking that when he returned to the sect, Hong Wubo had already become a treasure fruit, and he had to treasure this fruit for future needs.
At the same time, he went back to report the matter of eating Zhenguo to the sect, as for Hong Wubo's death, he also pushed Yun Jing and Jiang Hao down, this time not only he has merit to the sect, but also forever get rid of future troubles, this secret will always be known to him alone, the most safe.
Thinking so, Wu Chuansen dragged Hong Wubo and rushed out quickly towards a place where the roots of the tree were weak.
"Peel!" With a bang, the roots of the tree were shattered by Wu Chuansen's surrounding formation, Wu Chuansen held his breath and rushed out, and the whole person fell to the ground.
Two meters away is the gurgling stream, the starlight in the sky is reflected in front of him, Wu Chuansen gasped, his face was full of joy for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, his hand slowly rubbed to the side, and after catching Hong Wubo, he raised him in front of him.
After more than half an hour of consumption, Hong Wubo became only the size of a basketball, and the roots around him were like fruit peels, clinging to Hong Wubo's flesh and blood.
Hong Wubo is not dead yet, every time he trembles, the flesh rises and falls slightly, Wu Chuansen stretched out his hand and poked it gently, only to feel that the touch was soft and watery, as soon as he thought of biting down and swallowing it into his abdomen, there was plenty of aura all over his body, Wu Chuansen licked his lips greedily, and touched the precious fruit formed by Hong Wubo babyishly.
"Senior, senior brother......" A muffled voice came from the food treasure.
Wu Chuansen's face changed: "How can you still speak?" ”
"Senior brother."
"Senior brother!"
"Senior brother!!"
In addition to eating rare fruits, the sound of Hong Wubo sounded everywhere!
Wu Chuansen was suddenly shocked, squeezed the food treasure fruit tightly in his hand, and sat up from the ground and looked around: "Who?" Who's there?! ”
There was nothing around and empty and deadly silence.
Wu Chuansen slowly got up from the ground, looked at the edible fruit forest not far away, looked at the starlight in the sky, and then looked at his body, and suddenly muttered: "Illusion ......"
Morpheus, who was standing in the treetops not far away, didn't expect that this Wu Chuansen looked ordinary, but he really had two brushes, he jumped down from the tree lightly and walked towards Wu Chuansen elegantly.
The surroundings were too dark, and Wu Chuansen didn't have much spiritual power left, so he didn't dare to use it rashly, so he didn't see Morpheus for a while.
Wu Chuansen looked around nervously and said, "This is a temporary illusion, not a formation, who is hiding in the shadows?" ”
As he spoke, Wu Chuansen raised Hong Wubo in his hand: "As long as Your Excellency is willing to let me go, this food treasure fruit will be given to you, otherwise I will swallow the food treasure fruit on the spot and restore my strength, and when the time comes, the two of us will have a dispute, in case it arouses the interest of the food treasure fruit forest, or the attention of more rare and exotic beasts hidden in the dark, it will not be good for either of us." The story of cranes and mussels competing for the benefit of fishermen, Your Excellency should understand......"
As soon as Wu Chuansen's words fell, he suddenly saw Morpheus not far away, his pupils shrank, and his whole body stiffened.
Although it was very small and looked like a young beast, Wu Chuansen recognized it at a glance that this was a unicorn.
And it's a black unicorn!
Vicious, bloodthirsty, ruthless, murderous black unicorn!
In the next second, Wu Chuansen hurriedly came back to his senses, and knelt down in front of Morpheus without saying a word: "Rui Beast Qilin!" I thought I had encountered a vicious beast, but I didn't expect it to be a Rui Beast Kirin!! The unicorn beast, please accept my three worships! ”
After speaking, Wu Chuansen kowtowed three times unequivocally, and then raised his face cautiously: "The Qilin is an auspicious beast, sheltering humans, you ...... Is it here to protect me? ”
Morpheus watched Wu Chuansen play, looking at him with a sense of play.
Wu Chuansen took out the Hong Wubo Edible Fruit in his hand and respectfully held it up in front of Morpheus: "You can appear here, I think it has something to do with the Edible Fruit, this Edible Fruit...... ...... to you"
Morpheus stepped forward and rested his front paws on Hong Wubo's Precious Fruit.
Wu Chuansen saw that the black unicorn was interested in eating the treasure fruit, and he was reluctant to breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and said to Morpheus: "The junior accidentally entered the territory of the divine beast, please forgive me." I came in in a team with my companions, after being attacked by the Treasure Eating Fruit Forest, they scattered and fled, and the younger generation escaped by luck, my companions are probably still in the Treasure Eating Fruit Forest, seven of them are ordinary people, and two of them are cultivators, much stronger than me, I don't know if I am still alive, have I been attacked by the Treasure Eating Fruit Forest......"
Although the black unicorn cannibalism, it is a mythical beast after all, so it naturally likes to eat the best.
Wu Chuansen's words seem to be explaining to the old man, but in fact, he is hinting at the black unicorn, there are still many delicious people in the fruit forest, if you want to eat, hurry up and eat.
Morpheus used his front paws to scratch Hong Wubo's precious fruit, like a cat playing with a ball, rolling the fruit around.
Wu Chuansen saw the unmoved appearance of the black unicorn, and hurriedly added: "By the way, one of my companions is not only strong in cultivation, but also carries a locust tree spirit by his side...... I don't know where they are now, with the help of the dryads......"
Morpheus looked up at Wu Chuansen.
Wu Chuansen saw that the ink unicorn finally reacted, and thought that he was interested in the locust tree spirit, so he immediately crackled and said a bunch of words about Xiaohuai, hoping to introduce the black unicorn into the edible fruit forest.
While listening, Morpheus walked in front of Wu Chuansen, and then a purple light flashed, and the phantom of Xiaohuai appeared beside Morpheus.
When Wu Chuansen looked at the phantom, he thought that the black unicorn was asking him, so he nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes, it's a tree spirit like this." ”
Before he could finish speaking, Morpheus appeared next to the phantom, and then the scene even changed to a scene of two people playing games together in the Cloudview dormitory.
Wu Chuansen was stunned: "This, this...... Do you know Yunjing?? ”
Morpheus smiled at Wu Chuansen, and then pressed a paw on the top of Wu Chuansen's head......
Yunjing woke up from his sleep and opened his sleeping bag to see that the sky was pale blue, and it was just dawn.
That is, he only slept for about five hours this night, but it was like a full day's sleep, and the whole person was refreshed and comfortable.
Morpheus and Xiaohuai were both by his side, and seeing that Yunjing had always come, Morpheus immediately jumped into Yunjing's arms and leaned lazily on Yunjing's body.
"Good morning, Morpheus." Yunjing said with a smile, looking Morpheus up and down, "Why do you think I just got some sleep, and you look a lot more energetic than last night?" Tell me, the reason why I slept so soundly last night was because of your good deeds? ”
Morpheus looked at Yunjing with a smile, a pair of purple eyes flowing, and then a pair of small paws put on Yunjing's hand, stretched out his head and kissed Yunjing's mouth.
The tiny mouth was imprinted on his lips, very different from the feeling of a humanoid Morpheus kissing.
This is going to be replaced by an ordinary little beast, Yunjing will feel that the other party is cute, and he can't wait to grab it and crumple it into a ball, and kiss it back, but when he thinks that the other party is Morpheus who becomes cute......
His face flushed unnaturally, and Yunjing immediately turned his head, pretending to look at the scenery around him.
But this look, I really see some problems.
The fire in the fire has been extinguished, but Hong Wubo and Wu Chuansen, who were supposed to be keeping vigil by the fire, have disappeared.
There are also the surrounding fruit groves, although they look no different from last night, but if you look closely, you will find that all the surrounding soil has been renovated, the whole forest is like an earthquake, and the fruit on the trees is much less, and the ripe ones are basically gone, leaving only some green ones hanging on them.
Yunjing was looking carefully, at this time, the zipper of the sleeping bag on the side was opened, Jiang Hao walked out of the tent, and after seeing Yunjing, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Good morning, Yunjing, how was your rest last night?" ”
"Look at you like this, you had a good rest last night, didn't you?" Yunjing asked.
Jiang Hao smiled and nodded: "It's been several years since I've slept so comfortably, obviously we are still in the wild now, and there will be danger at any time, and the night watchman is still my two classmates, I should not sleep steadily, but last night somehow, I actually slept so soundly." Fortunately, nothing happened, and now that I have slept enough and have enough energy, I must hurry up next. ”
After Jiang Hao finished speaking, the two professors and four students not far away also got up, unlike Yunjing and Jiang Hao, although these six people slept all night, they seemed to have not slept enough, and while getting up, they yawned, Professor Du Xuezhi asked: "Xiaojing Jiang Hao, did you sleep well last night?" ”
Jiang Hao nodded: "I was still talking to Yunjing just now, last night was the most comfortable night I slept in in the past few years." ”
Professor Du Xuezhi saw that Yunjing's expression was relaxed, and there was indeed nothing to do, so he poured water to rinse his mouth and wash his face, and said: "Last night, you slept soundly, I didn't even know that there was an earthquake, we two old guys, and four classmates woke up together, and we were worried that something was going to happen, and I planned to wake you up too, but then I was stopped by Hong Wubo, but fortunately, nothing happened, and the night passed peacefully, and I was relieved to see that you slept soundly." ”
Professor Dai Yiping looked around: "What about Hong Wubo and Wu Chuansen, why didn't you see the two of them?" ”
At this time, Yang Liqiang's tent was also opened: "You are all awake, you all got up early today." ”
Everyone nodded to Yang Liqiang, and then continued to look for Wu Chuansen and Hong Wubo around.
While looking, the two professors and the four students carefully recounted what happened last night.
At this moment, the sky is already bright, this forest is sparse, even if you go far in broad daylight, as long as you don't go out of the woods, you can see it almost at a glance.
Seeing that there were no two people around, everyone kept calling their names, but they didn't react, and everyone suddenly had a bad premonition.
Jiang Hao immediately said: "Let's look for it separately, Yunjing, you and the two professors are in a team, I am in a team with Ding Jiaxing and Zeng Haian, Yang Liqiang, you take the other two people, we are in three teams to find, remember, don't go out of the fruit forest, so as not to get lost, we will return here in half an hour to meet." ”
Yunjing said: "Okay, Xiaohuai, can you stay where you are and help us look at the luggage?" ”
Xiaohuai waved the branch and said that it was no problem.
The nine of them immediately separated and searched for it in the fruit forest, but no matter how they looked for it, there was no Wu Chuansen and Hong Wubo.
"It seems that something really happened last night, speaking of which, when we woke up, we didn't see Wu Chuansen, asked Hong Wubo, and Hong Wubo also said that he went to the toilet." Professor Du Xuezhi said.
Dai Yiping said: "Hong Wubo is injured, what is the situation Wu Chuansen left to check, it is reasonable, but why did Hong Wubo lie to us?" Or did we wake up and there really wasn't an accident, and they both had an accident when we fell asleep? Then why didn't they wake us up? ”
The two professors obviously blamed themselves a little, and kept discussing, Yun Jing hurriedly comforted when he saw this: "Don't worry, you two, Hong Wubo's words last night were right, we are cultivators, you are ordinary people, if there is a situation that even we can't deal with, you can't help, let's look for it first, even if we can't find anyone, we have to figure out how people are lost." ”
The two professors nodded, searching together.
Seeing that half of the half-hour appointment time had passed, Yunjing was about to take the two professors back, when suddenly, Professor Dai Yiping bent down and greeted Yunjing: "Yunjing, Lao Du, come and have a look." ”
When Yunjing and Professor Du Xuezhi heard this, they immediately stepped forward, only to see Professor Dai Yiping pointing to the dirt close to the trunk of the tree: "It seems to be a mobile phone?" ”
Professor Dai Yiping just wanted to reach out and get it, but Yunjing immediately stopped him: "I'll come." ”
As he spoke, Yunjing personally dug out the phone.
The cracks on the surface of the mobile phone are all slightly moist soil, which shows that the mobile phone was originally buried in the ground, and there was an earthquake-like movement last night, and all the soil was renovated, which made the mobile phone buried in the ground see the light of day.
"This is a Nokia mobile phone, this model has long been out of production, and this mobile phone was dropped at least four or five years ago." Professor Du Xuezhi looked at his mobile phone and said.
"It's possible that someone who came here accidentally dropped it." Yun Jingdao, a thought flashed in his heart, and said to the two professors, "Let's look around again, maybe we can find something else." ”
The two professors nodded and continued their search.
Although the two of them are old, they are very careful, these things have no aura, and Yunjing can't use spiritual power to sense, so he can only use his eyes to find them.
Although his stamina is much more than that of his peers, it is still slightly inferior to these two professors who are scholars.
Soon, the two professors found many more small things.
There are now-defunct two-cent bills, some outdated jewelry, and even a worn-out notebook that has not rotted in a short time because the notebook case is made of plastic.
Yunjing opened the notebook and looked at it, but unfortunately the paper inside had been buried in the ground for so long, and the words were all pasted, and only the time recorded in numbers on the first line of each page could barely be judged.
Yunjing looked at the notebook and raised his head to look at the two professors: "The time recorded in the notebook is from last year, and it happens that we are at this time now. ”
"Last year? How could last year's book be buried so deeply?,Look at the soil around the book.,It's at least three meters underground.。 Both professors were a little confused.
Yun Jing looked at the things they found and said, "Did you two find anything related to Hong Wubo and Wu Chuansen?" ”
The two professors shook their heads.
Yun Jing said: "Then let's go back first, maybe the other two teams will find it." ”
When Yunjing and the others returned to the meeting point, Yang Liqiang had already returned with people, and like Yunjing, he found nothing.
Yunjing looked at Yang Liqiang and nodded slowly.
After a while, Jiang Hao also came back with people, the faces of the three of them were very heavy, Jiang Hao glanced at everyone, and said, "I found some clues, all of them are the remnants of our sect's formation, all the traces are on the trees, and there are also ...... leading to the forest."
Saying that, Jiang Hao lowered his head, was silent for a moment, and then bowed to everyone: "I'm sorry." ”
"Hey, hurry up, have something to say."
"What kind of apologies, what happened?"
"Jiang Hao, say it quickly, we're in a hurry."
Seeing Jiang Hao's grand apology, everyone hurriedly helped him stand up straight.
Jiang Hao sighed: "According to the clues, Wu Chuansen secretly ran to pick rare fruits last night, and it is estimated that the process of picking encountered some danger, so he triggered the sect formation, and then Hong Wubo and Wu Chuansen met, and the two used the formation to cover themselves and ran away secretly." ”
Jiang Hao's voice fell, and everyone was silent for two seconds.
Yunjing said: "Where are they fleeing?" ”
"Ran ahead." Jiang Hao said, "I see that their escape route is crooked, and it is estimated that they are in a panic, and they will run in any direction."
"There was nothing wrong with the camp where we slept last night, we all slept well, only the two of them were attacked, and if they hadn't done anything wrong, they would definitely come back to us for help.
"Since they escaped, it means that they don't dare to face us, but with the strength of the two of them, they will never go to the ancient tomb by themselves, I guess after they escape from the fruit forest, they will take a detour and go back to the sect."
Yunjing turned his head and glanced at Yang Liqiang: "Yang Liqiang." ”
Yang Liqiang was bowing his head and thinking about things, but he didn't hear Yunjing call him for a while.
Yunjing shouted again: "Yang Liqiang? ”
Yang Liqiang came back to his senses all of a sudden: "Huh? ”
"According to what Jiang Hao said, is it possible for the two of them to bypass us and run back to Hongshan Village?" Cloudview Road.
Yang Liqiang thought about it and said with some embarrassment: "If it were me, it should be no problem, if the two of them were ordinary people, I think it would be unlikely, but they are not...... Don't forget, we still have worms behind us. ”
As soon as Yang Liqiang said this, thinking of the demon insect that covered the sky and the sun, everyone's faces were not very good.
Yang Liqiang took the opportunity to say: "That bug is too terrible, originally I planned to separate from you in Zhiluo Creek and then go home alone, but I didn't dare, I finally escaped, I didn't want to die again."
"I've already thought about it, I'm unlucky this time, after Zhiluoxi, I'll continue to be with you."
Everyone didn't expect to get such an answer, and immediately looked at Yang Liqiang in surprise.
Yang Liqiang sighed and said: "This is the junction of the two provinces, after walking through this land, from the geographical division, we are about to enter Dingzhou Province, Zhiluo River and then down the road, I haven't walked, but I know that if I can pass through, finally come out of Dingzhou Province, you people, I know, and ordinary people, although there are two less now, but it's better than me going back alone, I hope you can take me, if you can escape, this time the remuneration will be halved?" ”
Yun Jing looked at him for a moment, then turned his head to look at Jiang Hao.
Yang Liqiang saw that everyone did not agree immediately, and hurriedly said with a bitter face: "Although I haven't walked the road after Zhiluo River, but it's all here, these experiences of mine are always useful, there are not many of you, I am not interested in the things in the ancient tomb, I just want to go home alive, my mother-in-law and sons are still waiting for me at home." ”
Jiang Hao said: "It's not that I deliberately didn't agree to you, it's really that my two junior brothers are gone, and there is a little bit of a lack of people." Although they are not as strong as me and Yun Jing, they are cultivators, for example, when they encountered demon insects before, Yun Jing and I were not there, and the two of them could withstand it for a while, but now there are two people missing at once, I dare not guarantee that I can protect the safety of so many of you by relying on me. ”
Yang Liqiang immediately waved his hand: "Isn't there still a small scene, and that, what's that called-tree spirit!" And the dryads! When you came, you didn't know that Xiaojing still had a tree spirit, I saw that the tree spirit was one top two, that is, our team, with the help of Xiao Jing, even if there were two people missing, the overall strength was not down compared with the initial expectation, wasn't it, Xiaojing? ”
Jiang Hao heard this and looked at Yunjing.
Yun Jing looked at Yang Liqiang for a few seconds, and then retracted his gaze: "Since Yang Liqiang said so, then we don't have a reason to drive him back to give the demon worm his life, so be it." ”
Jiang Hao saw that Yunjing agreed, so he also nodded: "Okay, let's hurry up and eat, and then hurry away immediately." ”
An hour later, everyone packed their things and continued on their way.
As he walked, Yunjing looked down at Morpheus in his pocket.
Although there is no evidence to suggest this, Yunjing can confirm that last night's incident has nothing to do with Morpheus.
It is even very likely that the disappearance of the two people is Morpheus playing tricks, otherwise how to explain the phenomenon that he is in good spirits and has black hair all over his body.
Morpheus felt Yunjing's eyes, his little paws scratched in Yunjing's pocket, seeing that Yunjing didn't buy it, Morpheus simply bent his ears, raised his head, pouted at Yunjing, and rushed out to kiss him at any time.
Yun Jing glared at him when he saw him make another move, and then immediately looked away.
Fortunately, he is now in the beast type, if this is a human form, then it will be repaid, and if he does something bad in the future, he will make a beautiful man to him, which is really hateful!
The forest was not large, and a group of people concentrated on moving forward, and soon reached the edge of the orchard.
The more you go out, the clearer you can hear the murmuring of the stream, when everyone walks out of the fruit forest, they see a crystal clear stream in front of them, under the reflection of the early morning sun, shining with dazzling crystal light, everyone is stunned.
Yang Liqiang was completely stunned: "This is...... Zhiluo Creek? ”
Everyone turned to look at him.
Yang Liqiang felt the doubts in everyone's eyes, and hurriedly waved his hand: "I swear, there is really a distance from the rape flower field to Zhiluo River, even if you don't consider the difficulty of the road, it is impossible to reach it so quickly on this part of the road!" ”
Seeing that everyone was silent, Yang Liqiang suddenly became anxious, and his forehead was covered with fine sweat in the blink of an eye, and suddenly, Yang Liqiang said: "Map, look at the map!" If you look at the map, you'll know if I'm lying! ”
Jiang Hao took out the map in his bag on the spot, and found that it was indeed like Yang Liqiang said, even if he didn't consider the difficult road, from here to Zhiluo Creek, he would have to walk for a day at the earliest, and it was impossible to arrive just out of the woods.
"It must be the devil worm and the fruit forest that are doing the ghost...... Yang Liqiang kept spinning in place, and whispered, "The devil worm that hasn't appeared for decades suddenly came, and the rape flower field suddenly became a fruit forest, I have never encountered these situations before, it must be related to them!" ”
Ding Jiaxing, one of the four students, asked, "Then this one in front of you is not Zhiluoxi?" ”
"It seems that it is indeed Zhiluoxi......" Yang Liqiang said without confidence.
"No matter what changes have happened, no matter what we encounter, the direction we are going in is absolutely fine, and our end point is not Zhiluoxi, so no matter whether this is Zhiluoxi in front of us or not, we have to go over." At this time, Jiang Hao said firmly.
After speaking, Jiang Hao did not hesitate, and walked at the forefront with his bags on his back: "Demon insects, fruit forests, some things that shouldn't have appeared have appeared, I guess this Zhiluoxi is not easy, do you still want to move forward?" ”
"It's all here, where is the reason to go back."
"That's right, if you go back, you'll encounter demon worms."
"Let's go, let's go together."
"Yes, in broad daylight, don't be afraid, let's go first."
Jiang Hao was so decisive, and everyone was also influenced by him, and they said one after another.
Jiang Hao looked at Yunjing.
Yun Jing nodded to him: "Let's go, you and Yang Liqiang will lead the way in front, and I will break behind." ”
Jiang Hao nodded, and was the first to walk to the stream to test it, and after confirming that there was no danger, let everyone come over, fill the water that should be filled with water, and take a bath.
