Chapter 20: Moving on
"Whew...... Whew......"
"Hah...... Ha ......"
The clothes of the three were completely soaked with sweat, and the snot and tears flowed from their faces.
But at this time, no one has the energy to take care of it, so it can only be allowed to dry naturally.
When his body and spirit were on the verge of collapse, he was so completely relaxed for a while, Bai Yuxuan actually fell asleep in a daze.
He had a wonderful dream, in which he seemed to become a butterfly, flying freely, and as if he had become a dolphin, roaming freely in the sea.
But in the next moment, the sky suddenly darkened, the earth cracked, and a huge asteroid streaked across the sky and slammed into the ground.
For a while, a huge sound, a huge light, and a huge scorching heat woke Bai Yuxuan up from his sweet dream.
"Whew...... Whew......"
Why did you have this kind of dream again, this nightmare is quite scary. Bai Yuxuan reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and took out his phone from his bag. Although I have experienced so many things, I still haven't lost my phone, and I still have power.
He lit up the screen of his phone, today is June 18, 3021, and the time is 7:46 in the morning.
Bai Yuxuan swept around again, and found that Lu Zhentian and Zhou Xiwei were still sleeping, and Zhou Xiwei's snoring was earth-shattering.
"Hey! Feed! Wake up! ”
Bai Yuxuan woke up Lu Zhentian and Zhou Xiwei respectively, Zhou Xiwei squinted his eyes, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and seemed to have not fully sobered up for a while.
"Hmm...... It's dawn......"
Under the burning gaze of Bai Yuxuan and Lu Zhentian, Zhou Xiwei finally opened his eyes wide and sobered up.
"Hmm...... Where is this? ”
Lu Zhentian scanned the surroundings and found that they were in a completely unfamiliar meadow, empty all around, without other plants or streams, hillsides or anything like that.
"Ahem, whatever! There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat is naturally straight to the bridge! ”
"That's it, I'm so hungry......"
As Bai Yuxuan spoke, he felt a violent rumbling sound in his stomach. Indeed, he had not eaten for nearly a day.
"Oh, take it!"
Zhou Xiwei suddenly took out something and threw it over, Bai Yuxuan took it and looked at it, it turned out to be a pack of beef jerky.
He was overjoyed, tore the package open with his teeth, and began to chew on the beef jerky.
But chewing and chewing, Bai Yuxuan felt that something was wrong, wasn't the bag containing the dry food stolen? Where did this beef jerky come from?!
He didn't swallow a mouthful of beef jerky, and suddenly stuck in his throat, so anxious that he pounded his chest.
At this time, Zhou Xiwei handed over a bottle of mineral water in a timely manner, and Bai Yuxuan drank half a bottle in one go, and then he felt relieved.
At this time, he found the mineral water in his hand again, and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Where did you get these things?" Wasn't the bag of dry food lost a long time ago? ”
"Hey, hey, hey......"
Zhou Xiwei and Lu Zhentian looked at each other and smiled, and Lu Zhentian explained to Bai Yuxuan.
"It's true that the bag was lost, but then we both disappeared too, didn't we?"
"Anyway, as soon as we woke up, we were in that wooden house, and when we woke up, the man threw the bag at us, and I don't know what he meant."
"And then because Zhou Xiwei was attacked by him, I was still a little afraid of him, and I was also a little scared."
"He just said that he was a human and not a ghost, and then he told us to wait, saying that you would come in a while."
"And then you know what happened next."
"Oh? It's weird. ”
Bai Yuxuan listened to Lu Zhentian's words and couldn't help but think to himself.
"If that person wanted to be against us in the first place, then why not just tie up all three of us together and kill us without knowing it."
"If that man has always been a good person, then why does he finally reveal his true nature and make a horrible appearance of cannibalism? I really don't understand. ”
"Forget it, don't think about this yet."
Bai Yuxuan couldn't come to any definite conclusion after thinking about it, so he turned his head to Lu Zhentian and the two of them.
"Is it true that you say a dozen people died twenty years ago? And what is this Lost Soul Valley really being the 'Sleeping Place of the Demon King'? Will the trespasser be damned, what kind of mess? ”
Seeing Bai Yuxuan suddenly ask, the other two were silent, and Bai Yuxuan also calmed down and thought carefully.
After the three of them were silent for nearly ten minutes, Lu Zhentian spoke leisurely.
"Actually, I think maybe the story that person told is true, maybe it's false, maybe it's half-true."
"But one thing is for sure, this is indeed a place of great evil, and maybe if we are not careful, we will fall into a situation from which we will never recover."
"But what does it matter, besides, we're not here to uncover the secret here, aren't we?"
"So I think we should move on, people have to do a few crazy things in their lives, right?"
"Finally, let me remind you, can you see if your compass still works?"
When Bai Yuxuan heard this, he took out the paper needle from his bag. Sure enough, the magnetic needle of the compass kept spinning around, and it was impossible to point in the right direction.
This is due to the influence of the chaotic geomagnetic field near the Lost Valley area, which makes things like compasses useless here.
Bai Yuxuan didn't speak, and Lu Zhentian had already acquiesced.
"The compass doesn't work, and the phone doesn't have a signal. So even if we want to get out, we can't find the right way to do it, so we might as well move on, maybe we can find a way out later. ”
After Lu Zhentian expressed his thoughts, Bai Yuxuan and Zhou Xiwei looked at each other, in fact, they were both a little withdrawn.
But since Lu Zhentian said so, they couldn't show their thoughts.
Especially Bai Yuxuan, as the initiator of this operation, he has no reason to retreat.
"Hmm...... Well, Lu Zhentian is right, now the compass and mobile phone are useless, so let's move on. ”
Bai Yuxuan got up from the ground and said with his responsibility and momentum as the initiator.
So all three of them packed up their things and stood up together.
"Fatty, you have to take care of the bag in the future, you may not have such good luck next time."
Before leaving, Bai Yuxuan did not forget to ask Zhou Xiwei to arrive.
Because it doesn't matter if you lose your clothes, ropes, etc., but if you lose your dry food, you may not be able to last a day.
"Then let's go!"
Bai Yuxuan chose a direction and led Lu Zhentian and the others forward.
However, the direction Bai Yuxuan chose did not seem to be easy to walk, and within a few minutes of walking, the three of them entered a huge primeval forest.
The trees in the forest are very spaced between each other, and they are truly shaded, and no sunlight can penetrate through the gaps in the leaves and branches.
The feet are also covered with various vines, some of which are covered with tiny thorns. Not only that, but you also need to be on the lookout for tree roots that are hidden under the vines, and if you are not careful, you will be tripped up.
This environment also makes the three of them travel unusually slowly.
It seems that the three of them have gradually approached the core area of Lost Soul Valley.
