Chapter 21: New Partners
"I'll go, this road is too difficult to walk!"
Zhou Xiwei once again pulled out his foot that was deep in the vines, and said with a little indignation.
"No way, fatty. Who told you to grow so fat, and who are those vines that don't pester you? ”
Bai Yuxuan let out a burst of laughter.
"Besides, we've all come so far, there's no way we're going to go back the way we came, right?"
Zhou Xiwei looked back at the road they had walked, and there was indeed a long trail on the ground, and it had been covered by vines on the ground almost in a very short time.
So he had to keep his head down, but he kept muttering something.
"Well, okay, okay, I'll make the way for you in front."
Bai Yuxuan reluctantly took out the knife from his backpack, and then cut off the knotted vines as much as he could, so that Lu Zhentian and Zhou Xiwei could walk a little easier.
Because of this, the speed of the three of them has dropped a lot again.
Although the temperature in the Valley of Lost Souls was much cooler than outside, and the criss-crossing foliage blocked most of the sunlight, it was the scorching heat of June, and the march was more intense.
Only half an hour or so later, all three of them were sweating hot.
"Whew...... Whew......"
"How long does this have to go? We can't go in one direction all the time, can we?! ”
His clothes had already been soaked with sweat, and at the same time, Zhou Xiwei, whose face was sweating like rain, asked heavily.
"Shh......h Don't talk! ”
Bai Yuxuan, who was walking in front of the three people, made a silent gesture to the other two, and then Bai Yuxuan held his breath and stared at the front tightly, as if he was distinguishing what sound.
"Boom...... Boom ......"
There was a burst of unreal peace of mind ahead, and if it weren't for the unusual silence of the forest, it would not be easy to detect.
"Boom...... Boom ......"
The voice was getting closer, like the footsteps of a man.
"Could it be that there are other humans in the Valley of the Lost Soul besides us?!"
This thought quickly flashed through Bai Yuxuan's mind. Then he urged urgently.
"Hurry! Go and hide behind a tree! ”
Seeing that the footsteps were getting closer and closer, Bai Yuxuan and the three of them hurriedly found a big tree surrounded by ten people and hid it.
"Boom...... Boom ......"
The footsteps seemed to be just a few meters away, and there was a burst of talking.
"Well, I mean, how long are you going to stay in this place?"
It was the voice of a young man.
"Are you bothered?! If you don't want to be with me, then you can go out by yourself first. ”
Another young woman's voice.
"Do you need to say that? If I had known the way, I would have gone out on my own. ”
"Damn! What the hell is this place! ”
The man seemed to have tripped under his feet, and suddenly burst into a foul mouth.
The two did not speak again, but the footsteps continued.
"Boom...... Boom ......"
It didn't take long for the footsteps of the two to reach the big tree where Bai Yuxuan and the three were hiding.
"Whew! Swish! Swish! ”
Bai Yuxuan and the three of them jumped out from behind the tree in turn and appeared in front of the two in a line.
The woman was fine, but the expression on her face was slightly startled, and then she returned to normal.
The man's reaction was much greater.
"Holy! What is it! ”
He let out a loud cry and took two steps back.
It can be described as "two wars, almost want to go first." ”
"Hey, don't be nervous, we're all human, not monsters."
Bai Yuxuan stepped forward with a smile and stretched out his hand to the two of them.
The woman quickly stepped forward and shook hands with Bai Yuxuan.
The man didn't seem to have come to his senses, and he was afraid to step forward.
"It's useless!"
The woman muttered, and then smiled at Bai Yuxuan and the others.
"My name is Chen Chen, and this is my boyfriend Fu Xiao. We are all seniors at Todo University in Todo City. Who are you? ”
Maybe seeing that Bai Yuxuan and the three of them don't look like bad people, the woman introduced herself.
"My name is Bai Yuxuan, he is Lu Zhentian, this is Zhou Xiwei, you can also call him fat."
Seeing that the other party introduced themselves without reservation, Bai Yuxuan also smiled, revealing two rows of big white teeth.
It may be that he saw that his girlfriend and Bai Yuxuan all knew each other, or it may be that he finally came to his senses.
Fu Xiao stepped forward, scratched his head, and said to Bai Yuxuan with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, brother." This place was weird and weird, and you suddenly jumped out again, and I didn't come back to my senses all of a sudden......"
Afterwards, Bai Yuxuan also shook hands with Fu Xiao cordially.
"You should know the dangers of Lost Soul Valley, right? What are you two doing in here? ”
After a brief exchange of pleasantries from several people, Bai Yuxuan finally raised a most critical question.
"How can I say it......"
After a short silence, Chen Chen spoke.
"I'm sure you read the news of the fall of that little star a few days ago."
"I don't think the asteroid will fall in this place for no reason, which may have something to do with the end of the world."
"So I posted it on the forum and decided to find out for myself......
"Wait?! Forum, you say? Could it be the 'Doomsday Forum'?! ”
Bai Yuxuan extracted a key piece of information from Chen Chen's words.
"Could it be that you are 'Lonely Smoke and Rain Lock Sycamore'?! You made that post?! ”
Bai Yuxuan asked several questions that surprised him very much in one breath.
Because he read the post made by "Lonely Smoke and Rain Lock Sycamore" on the "Doomsday Forum", he finally decided to go to the Valley of Ecstasy to find out.
"Yes, I did make a post on the 'Doomsday Forum'......"
"But how do you know ......?"
Seeing that before he could speak, the other party said all about himself, and Chen Chen suddenly felt a little at a loss.
"yes, we decided to be here because we read your post."
"Is that so?!"
Listening to Bai Yuxuan's words, Chen Chen was also a little excited.
"But your post says that the asteroid landing is a sign before the end of the world, how do you know about these things?"
"Oh, that's right. I also read a post on the forum saying that 3022 is the end of the world, and then I had the idea to make a post. ”
"Really?! What a coincidence, the post you said was written by this person. ”
Bai Yuxuan pointed to Lu Zhentian behind him, and Lu Zhentian also smiled at Chen Chen.
"Hey! Feed! ”
Seeing that Bai Yuxuan and Chen Chen finally had a moment of pause in the heated discussion, Fu Xiao hurriedly said aloud.
"I think we might as well go together, two more people will take care of us."
"What do you think?" Fu Xiao looked at Chen Chen.
"I don't care."
"I can't ask for it." Bai Yuxuan spread his hands and laughed, and then looked at Lu Zhentian's brother Zhou Xiwei behind him.
"We don't have a problem with that."
The two said in unison.
"Welcome!"
Bai Yuxuan smiled all over his face, and then shook hands with Chen Chen and Chen Chen again.
"Then let's go, and don't stand here all the time."
Fu Xiao said to the rest of the people.
"Let's go, let's go."
After a period of rest, Bai Yuxuan's physical strength and the three of them had almost recovered.
So the group continued to move forward along the road that Bai Yuxuan and they had just walked.
