Chapter 28: The Dark Forest
Stepping into the mountains, you can clearly feel the temperature dropping, and even the light is starting to dim.
The rain-soaked stones and dirt beneath your feet make a strange noise. Birds chirped in the dense trees overhead, as if to alert something inside.
Boro doesn't remember walking this road when he fled with the clear stream on his back. But from here, you can see the boulder that looms out of the plain in the distance.
"I don't remember the road clearly, I was running away at that time, who still had the leisure to care about what it was. Mu Kui came to a cypress tree and stopped, taking in his surroundings.
After all, it's not just a few of them here, there are many exorcists in front of them who are searching for traces of the Blood Demon.
"It should be this way. Mu Kui casually pointed in a direction, he was now just looking by feeling.
Boro reached out and pulled Qingxi up.
"What are you looking at?
Borro pointed to the boulder jutting out of the plain in the distance, "Remember?"
Qingxi looked in the direction he pointed, "It's not ...... there"
"Hey, uncle!" Boro shouted to the president who was walking in front, and the sound did not travel very far, scaring away some of the birds above his head.
"Huh, stop," the president called out to Mu Kui, turning to look at Boro behind him, "What's the matter?"
"No! I think I've found my way. Boro shouted.
The president glanced at Mu Kui and said to the three deacons beside him, "Go over and have a look." ”
"Where's the road?" Deacon Liu was the first to ask.
"There," Boro said, pointing to the boulder beyond the mountain.
"Isn't that going back again?" Deacon Liu glared at him and said, "Boy, are you here to make trouble?" ”
"We're not going in the right direction at all, I was running straight down the hill, but now I'm getting farther and farther away from the rock. ”
The chairman looked at Mu Kui, "We are walking the road now, is it leading to the cottage?"
"I ...... I don't remember exactly. Maybe I'll find it in a moment. Mu Kui laughed.
The president shook his head, "Forget it, boy, you said the road is in that direction." What if it's not right?"
"No, what can I do, I remember it being there anyway. Boro said with a strange look at the president.
"President, where shall we go now?" Cheng Yu asked on the side.
"What do you think?" The president would like to hear Boro, and although this kid is not a brain, he is not very good at telling lies.
"I don't believe him. The deacon, who glared at Boro before leaving, said.
"I don't believe it either. Deacon Liu also did not believe in Boro, and although the president appreciated him, he was still too young in his own eyes. A broken rock can be used to determine the location, in case you turn around and you don't know what to do.
"I think this kid's words are credible. The president looked at Cheng Yu with a smile, "What about you, what do you think?"
"Since we don't agree, we might as well split up. Whoever finds it first will use a signal arrow to notify the other group. ”
The president nodded with satisfaction, "This is a solution, if you can't find the walled city before sunset today, you can only let everyone return for the time being." I'll come back the next morning to search. ”
"In this way, I am with these two, and the three of you are with Mu Kui. Although Qingxi has decided to give up, he is inevitably a little sad after hearing the president's words.
"Let me follow you. Deacon Liu said, "In case of an emergency......
"Why, Deacon Liu. Are you saying that my old bones are useless?" the president looked into Deacon Liu's eyes with a majestic face.
"Not ......"
"I see what you mean. Don't worry, although this kid is disrespectful to me, he has no malice. The chairman smiled and said, "Let's go." ”
Seeing that Deacon Liu couldn't persuade the president, he had no choice but to worry about it himself.
"If you dare to take us in circles!"
Mu Kui shook his head smartly, his face full of grievances, "How dare I take all my seniors in circles." ”
Boro looked at the boulder as he thought back to the route he had taken when he had fled.
"I think...... It should be around here. The three of them stood on the gentle slope of the hill, which had deviated from the large army, but from here they could see the side where they were resting against the boulder.
"This is it," Bourro muttered to himself, but the heavy rain had washed away the original appearance of the mountain road. It's hard to make out the road.
"Boro, look there!" Qingxi pointed to the clear mountain spring that was flowing slowly not far in front of him, "Is it there?"
The president followed them to the edge of the mountain spring road.
"It seems to be here...... But I remember there was no water here. ”
"You stupid, it rained all night last night. This water, of course, was left from the mountains. Qingxi looked up and looked up at the same time as he had seen it on Boro's back.
"Unexpectedly, the route you escaped from at that time happened to be the dry mountain spring road. ”
"When you say that, it seems like it's true. Boro looked up and saw that the spring was completely exposed to the sky, unobstructed. Direct access to the depths of Flag Mountain.
"Could it be that the heavy rain came last night to help me guide the way?"
"You're dreaming, it's just a coincidence. Why should the heavy rain help you. Are you a flower?" Qingxi scolded with a smile.
"But what I'm looking for is flowers. ”
"Unreasonable. Qingxi gave him a blank look and began to walk deeper into the mountains.
Climbing to the top, Paul looked at the almost smooth road that appeared in front of him, "This is it! ”
As soon as Boro realized that he seemed to have slipped his mouth, he turned his head and looked at Qingxi embarrassedly, "Hmm......"
"Yan Zhu?"
"I ......"
"What's wrong with Yan Zhu? Didn't he leave us behind with Lu Bu?"
"This ......"
"You say!" Qingxi stared into Boro's eyes.
"Well, I actually lied to you. But I was afraid that you would be sad, so I was going to find another opportunity to tell you......"
President Tang glanced at the two of them lightly, "The little two are awkward." I'm an old man. Let's go back to the wall for a while. He began to walk forward.
"Tell me what?" Qingxi asked.
In fact, he decided to stay on his own to stall for time. ”
"Procrastinating?"
"It's the guy who showed up last night. ”
"And then! What happened to him?" Qingxi asked anxiously.
"I don't know, so I wanted to come and see it. ”
Qingxi raised his hand and punched Boro, "Why didn't you say it earlier!"
"I guess he shouldn't want me to say it."
"That's what you think!"
"Hey, you two. The president shouted in the distance. "There seems to be something here, maybe you'll be interested. ”
