When Wu Guang woke up, the sun had already begun to set behind the mountains, but he didn't know where he was. It's the same mountain, but I'm no longer in the cave I was in last night. He lost everything, his cloak, hood, food, and horses, as well as the friends who could protect him. The shadow of the mountains fell on him, and he looked back curiously, then looked at the slope that led to a large wasteland, decorated only by a few sparse trees.

"What's the situation!" he exclaimed, "I have crossed the whole mountain in my dream, and I have come to the other side! Mom, I must have been sleepwalking at night, and the expedition and Andorra did not know where? ”

He walked aimlessly, through the merges, to the end, down the slope, but he had a feeling that something was wrong, that what had happened in his dream last night was too real for him to forget the world, the gray-haired old man and his riddle, and the magical blood-red ring. He subconsciously touched his bag and was surprised to find that his fingertips had touched a ring-shaped foreign object, which showed that everything that happened in the dream was true-

For a moment, the whole world seemed to stand still, and instead of taking out the ring in his bag, he hoped that it was just a very ordinary thing, preferably something he had picked up while sleepwalking.

Immediately, he began to hesitate whether he should return to the mountains to find his friend, and before he could make up his mind, he was worried about it when he suddenly heard a noise.

He stopped and listened carefully. It didn't sound like the sound of a beast, so she walked cautiously forward. He was now on a rocky path, with a bare rock wall on the left and a slope on the right that led at forty-five degrees downward, from above he could see many shrubs and low plants in the valley below. In the bushes in one of the valleys, there were voices of conversation.

Wu Guang got a little closer, and only through the gap did he see a fat man wearing a hood: it was the vigorous man who was in charge of standing guard. The novelist almost clapped his hands in delight, but he held back. Worried that something bad would happen again, he subconsciously touched the ring of his coat bag, hoping that what the old man said would work.

"I want to surprise them!" he thought, creeping closer to the bushes of the valley. Andorra and the others discussed what had happened in the cave last night, and they were so disappointed by the loss of their horses and Wu Guang that they discussed what to do next. The opinions of the people were almost unanimous, even if they searched the entire mountain range, they would still find out Wu Guang's whereabouts.

"After all, Mr. Wu Guang is our friend," said the Master, "he is not a bad person, we have a responsibility to him, and I really hope that you will join me in finding him." ”

Although both Hengsan and Leng Wu wanted to know why they brought him here, and why the white-robed mage Andorra didn't choose a guy who had adventure experience or the ability to protect himself, they also approved of Andorra's rescue plan.

"He hasn't contributed anything so far, but as you said, he's our partner and we should go back and save him. ”

"I brought him here, I will never take useless people on an adventure, the search for the Black and White Star Ring is different from other adventures. Everyone here plays a vital role, and we wouldn't have been able to complete this adventure without Mr. Wu Guang. Andorra said.

"Then how do we find it? This mountain is very large, and if Mr. Wu Guang is still alive, he will definitely not last three weeks, and then he will starve to death. Qiu Feng said, "It is very difficult for only a dozen of us to find a person in the mountains, and Mr. Wu Guang has not opened the vein, so he cannot resonate with our spiritual arts, so he can only search in the simplest way." ”

"No, there is another way," said Andorra, "and as a last resort, I will cover the whole mountain with magic, which will speed up the search." However, making such a big movement is likely to arouse the vigilance of the demon clan. ”

"This is not the time to hesitate, Andorra, where lives matter. Wait a little longer, and the people of Shuguo may die. Honglushan said.

"Let's start!" Erni said, "Even if we are enemies of the entire demon clan, it won't be a big deal, if not, let's go back and come back in ten years." ”

"And adventures that no one has recorded won't be passed on, will they?" said the three dragon sisters.

"What do you think?" Andorra turned to the four of the Fog Nation to consult their thoughts.

"We have no objections. They replied.

Just as Andorra made up his mind to open the super-large-scale magic array, Wu Guang jumped in the middle of the crowd and shouted, "Did you miss me, friends?"

Wow, the three sisters jumped higher than the other! Then the crowd began to cheer, Andorra was as surprised as the others, but probably even happier. He called back vigorously and asked him how the sentry man could make people come to his side silently. In fact, after this incident, the expedition members looked at Wu Guang even more differently, even if they had doubts about his ability under Andorra's strong recommendation, now they have disappeared, and the people of the tree country in front of them can create miracles.

Although there were not too many words of praise, from the eyes of everyone, Wu Guang was recognized like never before, he looked a little fluttering, and he was happy in his heart, and he didn't say a word about everything that happened in his dream last night, the old man in the lake he met, and the blood-red ring. When they asked him why he disappeared last night, Wu Guang muttered, "Maybe sleepwalking, hahahaha-"

"This is the most amazing thing I've ever done in all my years of adventure!" said Erni, "The guy who hasn't opened the veins can walk out of the mountain on his own, and in such a short period of time, even a spiritualist can't do it, so I salute you by taking off your hat." And he did.

"Erni is willing to go to the soup for you. He said.

"It's the same down there. Wu Guang replied.

They all wanted to know what had happened on the night Wu Guang had left, so he sat down on a rock, and told him everything - he had entered a dream, and then went in one direction, and then fell into the icy waters, where he met the white-haired old man, with whom he played a game of guessing, and finally woke up and returned here.

The crowd was particularly interested in the part of the riddle, and were fascinated by the endless world and the icy lake he described, and when they heard that there was an old man imprisoned at the bottom of the lake, they all shuddered, even an inheritor-level spiritual magician could not live in the water for a long time, because there was not enough oxygen.

So, it must be a dream. Everyone is convinced, including Andorra.

"He sat cross-legged in front of me, and then we started puzzle after puzzle, the last one was the world, and I thought about it for a long time to come up with it, and if I hadn't prepared it for the purpose of writing a novel, I probably wouldn't have been able to answer it. Finally, the old man smiled, and the world disappeared, telling me that when I woke up, I would return to the real world. ”

"Oh, what a dream—have you talked to that white-haired old man?" asked Mingqi.

"No, we didn't say anything other than guessing, but the old fellow seemed satisfied, but if we continued to talk, I might have made my way to the Great Wasteland. ”

Wu Guang said in a relaxed tone, as if everything was easy.

"Look, I didn't tell you, Mr. Wu Guang has more abilities than you can do miracles. He said this, revealing a complex and strange expression at Wu Guang. The people of Shuguo began to wonder if the mages around them who could read people's hearts began to doubt the truth of what he said.

Then, it was Wu Guang's turn to ask questions.

Truth be told, the crowd didn't mind repeating how they worried about him, so such a conversation would only deepen their trust and affection for each other. Jiuyun said that early in the morning, the group sent Wu Guang disappeared, so they hurriedly got up and looked for it along the mountain path, among which the team members had a lot of disputes over how to find Wu Guang, and finally Andorra proposed to go out of the mountains first, maybe the people of Shuguo were already waiting for them at the end.

"As he expected, we just came out and saw you. Jiuyun said with an innocent smile.

"It's really impressive, and it's going to be an unforgettable experience. Alin said.

Everyone laughed heartily, and although they had suffered heavy losses, their horses were gone, and their food and supplies were gone, at least they had all made it out of the mountains safely, and had not attracted the attention of the demon people, and so far, the adventure had been successful before stepping into the Great Wasteland.

However, the words of the white-robed mage brought them to their senses. "Now that we've rested long enough, we must set out at once," he said, "and when night falls, the road becomes blurred, and many unexpected things may happen in the Great Wilderness." We have to get to an ideal place before dark, and if we're lucky, there should be moonlight tonight, which will be more convenient for us. ”

"Yes," said Genesis calmly, "we have not yet entered the Great Wasteland, there is still a rough road ahead, and we are still at a high level, so let's hurry up." ”

"But we're all so hungry—" Wu Guang suddenly realized that they hadn't eaten all day. Eating was necessary for both the inheritors and ordinary people, and it was only after the previous tension and excitement had subsided that they realized that their stomachs were rumbling with hunger and their legs could not help but start shaking.

"No way," said Andorra, "the horses are nowhere to be found, and it would be a great risk to find them, and we cannot afford to risk that now—"

"Thank you for your advice. Wu Guang said.

"Alright, let's tighten our belts and move on, and then find a way on the way!"
