Chapter 22: Blue Flame

It is said that Yu Chong and the others inexplicably went to the dock of Wulin, and they were naturally surprised in their hearts.

Yan Ruo tugged at Yu Chong's sleeve a little nervously and said, "Yu Chong, how do we leave this place, I once heard the city lord say that you can live anywhere in the world, but this witch forest is impossible to go." ”

"I also feel the eerie horror here, Yan Ruo, if you look at the direction we are coming from, it is already dusk in the West Mountain, you are looking at this witch forest, why is it still so bright, isn't it day and night here?"

"If we swim to the other side, might we be okay?" Yan Ruo tried to ask.

"I can't see it, not to mention the distance, but let's just say that this huge whirlpool that may appear at any time will cost you and my life, and if you know how to water?"

"Not too good." Yan Ruo whispered.

"I don't dare to say that I can cross the past, you are not good in water, and you must be more auspicious to swim over."

"Then what do you say, we still have to be trapped here." Yan Ruo said a little anxiously.

"Instead of waiting to die at this empty dock, it is better to enter this witch forest to find out, Hengzhi is a death, I don't want to wait for death in vain." When Yu Chong said this, he showed a trace of heroism.

"I can't die at will, the city lord's ambition to help the internal affairs has not yet been realized, and I want to break into him!"

With that, the two of them walked towards the depths of the giant pine forest, saying that it was strange and strange, this giant pine forest was no different from the woods of Southern Twilight City, but it was unusually silent when they walked.

Yan Ruo leaned on Yu Chong with some fear, and Yu Chong said softly, "Don't be afraid, Yan Ruo, there is me." ”

The two of them walked for a quarter of an hour, and suddenly felt that several giant pines seemed to be familiar, as if they had never gone deeper, but only circled around the outermost trees.

"Yan Ruo, do you have any impression, the tree with the shape of a peach heart, have we walked through it?"

Yan Ruo looked at Yu Chong's words, "I seem to have seen this tree too, what's the matter, we went around again?" ”

Yu Chong calmed down, thinking that he didn't have a compass on his body, he must have lost his way, "Yan Ruo, do you have a silk scarf on you?" ”

"What do you want a silk scarf for?" Yan Ruo was a little puzzled.

"Tie the silk scarf to the trunk of the peach heart, and we'll go again."

Yan Ruo tied the silk scarf as Yu Chong instructed as a signpost.

As they walked, both of them muttered a little in their hearts, if they still walked back to the same place, wouldn't they be trapped here, and the invading tribe in Beihun back then, would there also be soldiers who were lost, and then others went to look for them, so they all disappeared.

Yu Chong shook his head, not allowing himself to think about these hair-making things anymore, Yan Ruo was also like a frightened bird at this time, so he had to bear this fear alone and cheer Yan Ruo up more.

"Yan Ruo, it's okay, we will definitely be able to get out of this predicament."

Yan Ruo looked at Yu Chong's determined eyes and nodded vigorously.

Yu Chong and the two of them walked very carefully along the way, because they were too frightened, and they didn't realize that the light in the giant pine forest was getting darker and darker.

I don't know how long later, the two walked to a giant tree, and Yu Chong saw that there was a flat stone slab there, so he said to Yan Ruo, "Yan Ruo, let's rest first before leaving." ”

"It's okay, I'm really tired and hungry after walking for so long." Yan Ruo said.

"It's all my fault, I didn't bring dry food with me, and I made you suffer."

"You don't know that we will encounter such a problem, I have to be sarcastic about Commander Zhai after I go back, he also said go, it's okay, the waterway has gone not ten times and eight times, there has been no problem once, and the feelings are all with us."

"Hahaha, maybe Commander Zhai is leading himself to ward off evil spirits, and he doesn't even want to provoke that huge whirlpool when he sees him."

Hahaha, Yan Ruo's silver bell-like laughter came into Yu Chong's ears again, and hearing Yan Ruo's laughter when he was extremely nervous was also a physical and mental relaxation.

Yan Ruo was smiling, and suddenly, Yan Ruo looked up at the tree trunk, and her frightened and embarrassed expression stayed on Yan Ruo's delicate face.

"What's wrong with Yan Ruo?"

Yan Ruo couldn't speak at this time, looked at the tree trunk blankly, and slowly raised his hand and pointed to it.

Yu Chong looked at it, this was not the silk scarf that Yan Ruo tied or something, and for a while, Yu Chong felt a huge sense of frustration and unknown fear surging towards him from all directions.

Yu Chong was also a little unbearable, if he continued like this, he would either be scared to death or starved to death!

With a plop, Yan Ruo sat down on the ground in fright.

Yan Ruo's fall just dragged Yu Chong out of fear, and if both of them were stunned at this time, they could only wait for death.

Yu Chong hurriedly helped Yan Ruo up, patted Yan Ruo's face and said, "Yan Ruo, wake up, look at me, you look at me." ”

Yan Ruo's dull eyes couldn't help but look confused after hearing Yu Chong's voice.

"Here!" Yu Chong patted Yan Ruo's face hard again.

Yan Ruo finally recovered from her fright, looked at Yu Chong, and didn't dare to speak for a long time.

"Don't be afraid, with me, I'll find another way." After that, Yu Chong held Yan Ruo's slender jade hand tightly, and deliberately pinched it hard, giving Yan Ruo some hints of strength.

Yan Ruo didn't resist either, and followed Yu Chong to find other ways.

The two of them were looking around, and at some point, a stone lamp lit up not far from them.

"Yan Ruo, when we were walking back and forth, did you notice that there were still stone lamps in this pine forest?" Yu Chong asked suspiciously.

"I didn't pay attention, the road I walked, it was full of giant pine trees, not even a single grass or flower, this stone lamp is so chic, I will be impressed after I see it."

Yu Chong walked in and looked at this stone lamp, it was indeed as Yan Ruo said, it was very chic, only to see that the body of this stone lamp was slender and long, the lampshade was like a pagoda, the spire was towering, and the four corners of the lampshade were slightly raised, and it was very elegant from a distance.

"Why the blue flames?!" Yu Chong asked puzzled.

"I'm also thinking about this question, Yu Chong, you and I have never heard of the blue flame in all the years we have been born in this world." Yan Ruo echoed.

"That's nature, the world is really big."

"But the light range of this stone lamp is only within these five steps, and the light of this giant pine forest is dim, and now it is almost impossible to reach out and lose five fingers, what should we do next?" Yan Ruo was a little anxious.

Yu Chong looked at the stone lamp for a long time and didn't say a word.

"What's the matter, Yu Chong, what secret have you discovered?"

"Yan Ruo, don't you feel that the flame of this stone lamp seems to be burning in one direction?"

As soon as Yu Chong said this, Yan Ruo looked at it, and really, wasn't this color flame floating in the direction where the two of them came to see the stone lantern just now.

"Is this a guide back again?" Yan Ruo said.

"I really don't dare to walk around in other places, when the light is full, you and I are spinning around, and I don't dare to go anywhere at night by my own sight." Yu Chong analyzed.

"Could this be a trap for the Witch Forest?" Yan Ruo said with some concern.

"If the trap is not a trap, we all have to give it a try, as long as there is a glimmer of life, we will break through him."

"Okay, Yu Chong, listen to you, then let's follow the guidance of the blue flame."

Yu Chong took Yan Ruo's hand and walked in the direction guided by the blue flame, on this way, the two of them were terrified, after all, they entrusted their lives to the stone lamp that popped up at some point, and the two of them asked themselves that there was no better way to get out, so they could only walk forward.

After about a quarter of an hour, it was still pitch black, and Yu Chong was particularly worried about whether it would be dark and deviated from the normal direction again.

Just thinking about it, suddenly Yan Ruo pulled Yu Chong's hand and said, "Yu Chong, look at the right hand, is there a stone lamp!" ”

Yu Chong looked in the direction of Yan Ruo's finger, and sure enough, there was actually a stone lamp here!

It seems that after dark, without torch guidance, it will still deviate more or less from the established route, so Yu Chong searched around and finally found a rather thick number.

"Yu Chong, what are you looking for these branches?" Yan Ruo asked.

"Make a torch, you can correct the deviation of our direction, Yan Ruo, can you see which way to go this time?"

Yan Ruo faced the stone lamp and watched the blue flames continue to float in the direction of her left hand, "Go this way!" ”

"Okay, wait until I light the torch." With that, Yu Chong stuffed the branches into the stone lamp, and in an instant, the branches burned, and it seemed to burn very quickly.

"Yan Ruo go quickly, this blue flame burns very quickly, I don't dare to guarantee that the ticket will burn until the next stone lamp." With that, the two of them took homemade torches and hurried to the next stone lamp.

In this way, walking all the way to find a suitable branch, sometimes the branch burned too quickly, and the two of them could only walk in the dark for a while, almost walking through almost ten stone lamps, Yan Ruo finally couldn't walk, and the two rested under the stone lamp.

"How many stone lamps are there?" Yu Chong gasped.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the ninth."

"Where are you going to lead the two of us, you can't see your five fingers when you reach out, only this stone lamp emits a blue flame, it's really a wonder in the world." Yu Chong said with emotion.

"How did you pick up so many branches this time?" Yan Ruo asked.

"This blue flame burns the branches too fast, and the location of the next stone lamp is not clear, so I will prepare a few more branches, and when they are burned out, replace them with a new one, and we will have another torch." Yu Chong said proudly.

"Really." Yan Ruo actually admired it a little, thinking that after thinking that he was Xiangguo, he would have devoted himself to the grand hegemony of the city lord of Nandui City, but he didn't want to be difficult with Yu Chong.

"Yan Ruo? We rested for almost a quarter of an hour, or we went on to see what was going on further on. Yu Chong reminded.

"Oh, good." Yan Ruo withdrew his thoughts and continued to follow Yu Chong forward.

The tenth stone lantern and the two walked for a long time without seeing it, "We didn't go wrong, right?" Yu Chong was a little puzzled.

"Probably not, the wind blowing direction of the last stone lamp is to the right-hand side, and we didn't go backwards all the way down."

"That may still not be the tenth stone lamp, so let's go."

The two of them didn't know how long they had been walking, but Yu Chong looked from afar, and there seemed to be a stone lamp in front of them.

"Yan Ruo, the tenth stone lamp!"

Yu Chong pulled the two of them and hurriedly walked forward, and when they were about five zhang away from the stone lamp, Yan Ruo suddenly pulled Yu Chong downward, and the two immediately squatted down, Yan Ruo said, "You see a child in front of the stone lamp?" ”

"What?" Yu Chong looked for prestige, and the figure did look like a sixteen or seven-year-old child.

Although the distance was still far away, the giant pine forest was so silent that the two of them could faintly hear the words from the child's mouth.

"If I want to find the temple, Lady Gadi should teach me how to protect the clan."

As the child was talking, a silver light suddenly reflected from Yu Chong's neck, and the child immediately turned around and said loudly: "Who's there, come out!" ”
