The spices in the bag are accompanied by a slight breeze, and a quiet and comfortable fragrance slowly wafts in, lingering on the tip of the nose, and I immediately feel refreshed. Smell the smell, even the most ignorant can guess what's in it.

"Thank you." Although he was surprised by Mu Aotian's carefulness, Shangzi thanked him with a little discomfort and silently shook his hands.

The two of them sat quietly on both sides of the fire and said no more, the sound of the fire mixed with the chirping of insects and beasts in the forest was very clear.

After a long time, a tempting fragrance slowly came out, and Mu Aotian's already hungry stomach made a few muffled sounds. If Mu Aotian noticed it, he looked at Shang Zixu opposite in embarrassment, and simply covered it up with the sound of insects at night, otherwise he didn't know how to deal with the embarrassment!

"Alright, let's eat it." Shang Zixu held the wooden stick with the roast chicken on the skewer, and after fiddling with it twice to make sure it was ripe, he picked one up and handed it to Mu Aotian.

Mu Aotian took the wooden stick, and he was so hungry that he no longer made hypocrisy, and tore off the steaming chicken leg with one hand, and ate it without hesitation.

After eating and drinking, the two cleaned up the mess and began to decide who would take turns for the vigil.

"You go and rest first, and I'll keep watch over it for the time being." Shang Zixu's usual gentleness made Mu Aotian a little overwhelmed.

"How can this be good...... "Along the way, almost Shang Zixu was dealing with all the complicated work, but it was she, the person who really had something to enter the forest, who served her well, how could she not be ashamed?!

Shang Zixu looked at the direction of the inner circle of the forest, and said with a light smile: "It's okay, you just have to rest." This time, the toughness in the words made Mu Aotian refuse more.

Then, Mu Aotian, who was arranging a vigil in the second half of the night, scurried up the giant tree, looked at Shang Zixu, who was adding firewood to the fire under the tree, and suddenly felt sincerely unusually relieved, so he fell asleep in the sound of various insects in the forest and the faint light of the fire.

In the early morning of the next day, the bright light quietly hit Mu Aotian's face through the complicated branches and green leaves, and a dead leaf suddenly broke off from the branches, slowly spun in mid-air, and fell on Mu Aotian's delicate face.

As if feeling the discomfort on his face, Mu Aotian frowned, his long eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes, and entered a cluster of branches and leaves with many gaps.

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Mu Aotian suddenly turned over and sat up, opened his eyes and looked around but did not see Shang Zixu's figure, leaving a scorched black fire under the tree.

What about people?!

Mu Aotian couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, how could he have slept so soundly, he even forgot about the vigil, and his vigilance on weekdays had lost a lot, it really shouldn't be!

After sorting out his baggage, Mu Aotian got up and jumped off the giant tree, and suddenly saw a dazzling white dressed Shang Zixu not far away.

"Are you awake?" Shang Zi is warm voice sounded, and the practical concern in his tone warmed Mu Aotian's heart a little.

"I was supposed to keep vigil last night, why didn't you wake me up?" Thinking that he had failed in his duties, Mu Aotian was a little reluctant to go.

"When I saw that you were sleeping soundly, I could not bear to be disturbed, and I was not sleepy, so I kept watch until dawn." Shang Zi smiled and said, "I went to look for something to eat, and I saw some fruits picked back, you wash with water to fill your stomach, and then set off later." After saying that, he spread the cloth bag he was holding on the ground with a clean color and sweet appearance on the cloth bag.

Seeing this, Mu Aotian touched his nose with some shame, and whispered, "I'm tired." Then he turned and washed up.

After eating the fruit, the two of them recuperated their spirits and walked cautiously towards the inner perimeter of the Forest of Life and Death.

No matter what kind of jungle, as long as it is deep in the inner perimeter, it is definitely a habitat for fierce beasts, and once you step into their territory, it will cause troublesome riots, not to mention in the forest of life and death, which is extremely dangerous. Life and death, life and death, death if you are not born, stepping into the forest of life and death, everything can only be resigned to fate.

The roars of all kinds of fierce beasts became clearer and clearer in the forest, and the poisonous miasma of the yin was gradually increasing, fortunately they took the antidote in advance, otherwise the words 'touch it and die' would not be coaxing. The trees that were originally sparse on the periphery, the more you go inside, the more you see what it means to be clustered! The dense green trees of all sizes are tightly clinging together, and the only path that can be passed is becoming more and more crowded.

The sky was getting darker, and the journey became more and more difficult.

Mu Aotian struggled to remove the branches and vines in front of him, staring at the branches and vines that attacked again in front of him with a dark face, and gritted his teeth with hatred: "What kind of broken place is this, the branches and vines are like a big net, you have to trap people?" The movement in his hand was also extremely ruthless, raising the knife fiercely, and slashing the obstacle in front of him, the skill of the movement can be seen that there are many branches along the way.

"There are so many vines here, there must be an open space ahead." Naoko, who was next to him, made up his mind.

"What's the explanation?" Mu Aotian wondered, could it be that Shang Zixu had never come in?

Shang Zi's dark eyes looked straight ahead, turned his head to look at Mu Aotian with a puzzled expression, and explained: "Have you ever heard of 'the extreme of things must be opposed'? ”

"Really?" Mu Aotian asked in disbelief.

"That's right." Shang Zi smiled and already answered.

Sure enough, in less than a moment, the two of them broke away from the place where the branches and vines were entwined, and turned to another open field.

Mu Aotian twitched the corners of his mouth, pressed his eyelids, and the expression on his face couldn't tell whether he was crying or laughing at the scene in front of him, and he said twice, "Sure enough, things must be reversed!" Glancing at the man beside him, he also looked a little helpless.

"This Forest of Life and Death is really weird." Half-loud, Shang Zixu gave such a touching conclusion.

Isn't it weird? Isn't it a whole person who is just blocking the way ahead of a huge swamp?! No matter how good the light work is, it can't fly!

"What now?" Along the way, it was almost all decided by Shang Zixu, Mu Aotian habitually turned his head and asked.

"Find a thick stake," Shang Zixu pondered for a moment, and sure enough, asserted, "throw the stake into the swamp, and you and I will trample on it lightly, and there should be no problem in a short time." ”

Mu Aotian's eyes lit up, it's a good way!

After looking around, they unexpectedly found a tree with a somewhat shriveled and fallen root, which was an unexpected joy for the two of them.

Transporting the internal force to push the trees down the swamp, Mu Aotian took the lead in making light strokes, and Shang Zixu followed closely behind, and arrived on the other side of the swamp before the trees completely sank.

"Fortunately with you......" stepped on the solid ground, Mu Aotian breathed a sigh of relief, and just wanted to say something to Shang Zixu, when suddenly his eyes stopped in front of him, and the words in his mouth were suddenly stuck in his throat.

Sensing the abnormality, Shang Zixu followed Mu Aotian's gaze and couldn't help but be stunned.

Isn't the old man really teasing them?!!
