Chapter 21: Flower Butterflies

The forest is cloudy and mist, deep and quiet, mottled with light and shadows.

Although the ancient trees here are not as tall as the periphery, they grow quite wide, one can cover a radius of more than ten zhang, and the trees are full of drooping roots, many of which have grown to the same extent as the main trunk.

"Watch your step!"

Huo Yuntian found a pitch-black crack under the dead leaves, and after a closer inspection, he found that it was an unfathomable crack in the ground, which was one zhang wide, and he didn't know where it spread into the forest.

If you look closely, there are more than one crack in the ground, and there are seven or eight intersecting places that run through and hide under the dead leaves.

There are also various vines scattered throughout the forest, overlapping each other like nets, and I don't know where their roots are.

The humidity here is very heavy, and there are many fungus breeds, and there are many strange vegetation, some of which are clear, some of which are brightly colored, some of which are scented, and some of which are full of foul odor.

It looks really strange, each with its own characteristics, and the most amazing thing is that the whole body is crystal clear, with streamers floating plants, magnificent and mysterious.

Everyone had never seen such a strange creature, and they couldn't help but be curious to touch and play with these seemingly fragile gadgets.

"There are some things that don't be touched!" Mu Tian grabbed Zhai Feng's hand and said with a serious expression: "Some things seem to be beautiful, but you don't know what kind of charming trap it needs to be laid in order to maintain it like this!"

Zhai Feng was startled at that time and hurriedly hid far away.

"Haha, look at you! The thorns on this are too soft to hurt people, and this plant can be used in medicine, so it is not poisonous at all. ”

"People are scary, they are scared to death! If you make this joke with me again, be careful that I turn my face and don't recognize people. Zhai Feng was angry.

"Just kidding, don't be angry!" Mu Tian smiled, and then said: "This is called Yanglan grass, it can drive away the cold and dampness in the body, and the medicinal bath can be used, if you encounter it again, you can collect more and go back! But you have to be careful, don't touch those colorful plants full of barbs, be careful that they are really poisonous!"

Zhai Feng instantly understood what Mu Tian meant, and began to pay attention to Yang Lancao's figure everywhere, but he was a little frightened.

At this time, a small flower butterfly flew from nowhere and quietly landed on Mu Tian's shoulder.

"Hey, don't move, there's a little thing on you!" Zhai Feng saw a butterfly falling on Mu Tian's shoulder, so he carefully reminded him, for fear of scaring away the weak little life.

Mu Tian was puzzled, looked down at his chest, didn't find anything, and then looked up at his shoulder, only to see a flower butterfly resting on it peacefully, its wings opening and closing, looking lazy and comfortable.

A happy smile appeared on his face, he didn't know if it was the flower butterfly, but he had a sense of déjà vu.

"Did you fall on me that day?" Mu Tian muttered with a smile on his face.

After saying that, Mu Tian didn't care about it, and let it stay quietly on his shoulder.

He cautiously opened the map, first determined his location, and then made an approximate time calculation based on the target point marked by the city lord.

"It takes another half a pillar of incense time, and we will be able to reach the temple gate marked on the map!" Mu Tian gestured the map to Huo Yuntian and said.

However, the vines in the forest are crisscrossed, and the ravines are lying on the ground, which brings a lot of trouble to the journey, so it will definitely delay a lot of time.

"Before the sun sets, be sure to find the whereabouts of the Divine Ruins!" Huo Yuntian said to the others.

Everyone was silent, which made him a little embarrassed.

"Come and take a look, there seems to be a mark here!" Mu Tian brushed aside the vines that were wrapped around the ancient tree, revealing the cross carved into the trunk.

"That's right, it's my father's mark!" Huo Yuntian nodded and replied.

But before they knew it, the place they passed through had already quietly changed, and it seemed that there was an invisible hand that was quietly regulating the changes in the surrounding environment.

"Why do I always feel like someone is following me?" said one of the teenagers who had fallen behind, looking back from time to time, but finding nothing suspicious.

"You feel it too?"

"From the moment I came in, I felt uncomfortable, I always felt like there was a pair of eyes watching us!"

"I felt the same way, but I didn't find anything!"

The two of them were discussing as they walked, and they had been walking well, but somehow they both fell to the ground, and then they were dragged into the unfathomable crack of the earth by a strange force, and they didn't even have time to call.

The people who walked in front were completely unaware of this, and as they went, they cleared the annoying vines, their faces slightly irritated and full of reluctance.

They passed through several more mountains, which sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the black soil brought out of the ground remained on the mountain, and there was no vegetation on the surface of the body. The bottom of the mountain has long been in shambles, and there are still traces left by the night of heaven and earth.

"Look, what is this?" Suddenly someone found a deep pit in the woods, half a man deep, and there was stagnant water in it.

Everyone was curious, and they all gathered around.

"Isn't this just an ordinary dirt pit?

"So the question is, who dug this?"

"Maybe it's the mark left by the city lord!"

Huo Yuntian also walked over curiously, he found that the outline of the pit was a little weird, so he asked someone to clean up the leaves around him.

When the appearance of the pit was revealed, everyone looked at each other in disbelief, for they had never seen such a large footprint, and they were very similar to human footprints.

Mu Tian glanced at it disdainfully, and didn't feel unusual, like this kind of primordial ancient forest, it is not uncommon for primitive humanoid creatures to live, besides, this is the depths of the ancient vein, and it is common for large humanoid beasts to pass by, and it is natural to leave a footprint.

He looked up at a mountain in the distance, which was relatively high relative to the ancient veins around it, and there were clouds and mist lingering on the peak, which was quite mysterious.

In a haze, Mu Tian seemed to see a decaying old tree, and new branches had been drawn from the withered branches, and the new branches were shining and full of life.

The flower butterfly suddenly stirred its wings, and its light figure wandered around Mu Tian, and then it fell on top of Mu Tian's head, and after stopping for a moment, it flew to the depths of the ancient forest.

Mutian watched it fly higher and farther and farther away, watching it fly through the forest and towards the high mountain, and finally disappear into the mist of clouds.

His mind suddenly fell into a strange state, and at a moment there seemed to be a faint voice in his ear calling his name.

"Oh no, someone is gone!" suddenly someone shouted.

Mu Tian was startled, and instantly broke away from that state, and after waking up, he only heard a noisy discourse, and could no longer hear the subtle sound.

"Two big living people, if you say no, it's gone?" Huo Yuntian was a little annoyed, but he blamed himself a little, after all, someone disappeared for no reason, and he was more or less responsible.

"They were walking behind us just now, and suddenly there was no one to be seen, and we don't know where they were!" said the man aggrievedly.

Huo Yuntian had no choice but to ask someone to look back, but he only found a dagger left on the ground and a few suspicious scratches on the ground.
