The eyes were a similar white, like cascading ghosts, obscuring the traveler's vision, and only when they walked into a cliff or swamp and rotted into a dry bone would a few sneers come from the deep obstacle.

I didn't dare to take my eyes off the pale green shadow half a meter ahead, the uneven ground was covered with broken branches and stones, and if I wasn't careful, my feet would get stuck in the crevices or step into the half-arm-high holes.

"Damn, what the hell is this place!"

I couldn't help but curse after being tripped and fell to the ground again, and it had been more than ten minutes, and my dissatisfaction had risen to the limit, and the thick white of the surrounding walls could simply drive people crazy. However, it didn't seem to be affected in the slightest, the trap-like terrain was like walking on the ground, and it was also blind to the noisy smoke miasma, and I even doubted that even if I closed my eyes, I could get through this thick fog.

"How much longer is there? ! ”

I patted the moss on my legs, but my palms were stained with disgusting mucus, and I wanted to chop off my whole hand when I found out that I still had a habit of cleanliness.

"You've asked it eight hundred times! Can you be a little patient? It's early! ”

Not far away, I heard the sound of anger, and I had to put away my accumulated resentment, wipe the sticky substance on the raised rock on the side, and turn my head and follow quickly.

But in a split second, I regretted it.

The muscles were still in an unguarded state of relaxation, and the mind was not focused, and the only difference between this step and the countless previous treks was a little faster—the position that had been on the ground was now empty.

"How, rely on AO ————"

In a flash of lightning, most of my body had sunk! My hands flailed desperately in the air, but with nothing to grasp anywhere I could reach, I couldn't figure out what was going on, and I had to let my creatures' instincts drive me to scream! But just as I was halfway through my voice and shouting, a rather powerful arm suddenly flashed out from one side! Wrap me up in it! Then he slammed it hard, pulling me to make a curve in mid-air, and finally smashed it on the hard rock wall!

"Ahem! Mom, mom, I, this, this TM is ......"

I patted my chest, breathing like a wild dog in water, and my legs were shaking under the stress of my body.

"You're crazy!"

With an angry roar, she rushed into my blank mind in time, telling me that I was far from being freed,

"Can't you see such a big cliff in front of you?! Yes? ”

I twisted my head to look at it, and saw that there was a little light in the two big watery eyes, and the roar that was full of anger was a little more crying.

"Do you know what you're doing?! Why do you want to do this to yourself? I'm not going to kill you by moving you back to your own house! ”

"Uh...... I'm not ......."

"Shut up !!"

"Oh, what a ......"

I hurriedly and obediently didn't make a sound again, so I thought it was my own negligence. She let go of her slender arm and grabbed my wrist and ordered,

"From now on! You've been following me honestly, understand! ”

I nodded, still remembering that I shouldn't have said yes at this point. But just as she turned around, I heard an almost inaudible murmur,

"If I don't have you, how can I explain to him......"

Hearing these words, my originally grateful and warm heart somehow cooled, and even the slight tremor of my limbs stopped abruptly, and now there was only one thought in my chest———— it turned out that the reason why it cared so much about me was only because of Jue.

I knew I should be grateful to my savior, whatever his purpose, but the thought took away all my expectations like a low tide, leaving only the reef of reality that crisscrossed my soul.

Finally, I couldn't endure this torment anymore, for catharsis, and to warn the big man who didn't know where to hide, I shouted,

"Holy! It turns out that this road has to go down the cliff! If you're not careful, I'm afraid I'll lose my life! ”

Sure enough, she immediately turned her head and stared at me angrily, and the meaning of rebuke in her words was self-evident.

"Didn't I tell you to stop talking!"

"Ah, sorry, sorry, haha."

I apologized insincerely, licking my face and smiling, but I didn't seem to be able to hear the slightly provocative part of my tone, and after giving me a blank look, he tugged on my right hand,

"Humph! It's good to know......"

The unpleasant episode came to an end for the time being, and I groped my way down under the "protection" of the ring, and the fog around me also faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after only a few minutes, I could already see the scene more than ten meters away.

"......"

I sighed as I watched the vast landscape, the inner side of the cliff inlaid with countless cascades of ancient rocks, and the outer vines peeking out of the fog at the top of the man's wrist, twisted and disappeared into the abyss of white yarn, and we were committed to walking through the narrow and steep path clinging to the cliff face, like ants climbing between the inscriptions on the tombstones, never knowing the whole picture.

Suddenly, on this road, the words like gold spoke,

"Hey, I advise you to cover your eyes with something, it will become very bright before that, be careful not to fall down again."

"Oh."

I answered, and put my hand on my forehead briefly, thinking about what kind of spectacle would come next.

She slowed down her pace and leaned against the stone wall, as if preparing for what was about to happen. Seeing that it had always been very aggressive and became more careful, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and a lot of sweat beaded on my holding hand.

"This is it."

With that, she lifted her foot and took a big step, and I followed its strength and leaped to the protruding platform below.

The clouds and mist dissipated, and the dazzling golden light of the sun was no longer obstructed, gushing and pouring into a small gap between the lush vegetation, and this world, which had always remained mysterious, was now unobstructed before my eyes.

"Oh my God......"

I exclaimed in a low voice, as my pupils contracted, the large and small color patches in my field of vision gradually became clear, and the boundless green screen converged into hundreds of millions of stretches of forest, and there was not a drop of white to be found in the clear blue sky. The dazzling and majestic rising sun hangs high in the center of this magnificent spectacle, shooting out several pillars of light, dividing everything as far as the eye can see into a territory of thousands of feet long and wide, primitive but naturally patched together into a boundless grand picture.

"Hey, have you seen enough?"

I was drunk for a long time, and for a moment I even forgot that there was a person with me.

"Ah, okay, let's go."

But after I finished speaking for a long time, I didn't move another step, I turned my head with some curiosity, only to see that it was desperately hiding its face behind the clothes on its hands, and closed its eyes in pain.

"That...... You okay? ”

As soon as the words fell, the tips of my slightly emerald ears were smeared with a crimson color, and my cheeks twitched, and I took half a step back unnaturally. Just as I was wondering if I had said something wrong, I shouted angrily and angrily.

"Oh shit! You shouldn't be so impulsive! It's time to go down! You can't see anything! It's all to blame for someone who came to spread the word at this time! Ahhh Damn, damn it, damn it! Even if you just wait until the evening to leave! Why are you so stupid! Stupid! Stupid! ”

"Hmm......

Even though my hands were still grabbed, I tried my best to hide to the side and enjoy the performance of beating my chest. It wasn't until it was probably tired and stopped that I leaned over and asked,

"You...... Is it true that you can't see anything? ”

"Nonsense! Such a bright sun! I'm not blind enough to be good! ”

"Oh~"

An inexplicable sense of superiority suddenly rolled up in my heart, and I deliberately crossed my waist in a weird way and said,

"Tut-tut, how do I think, the weather is a little bad today! This light, even the old lady is too lazy to bask in the winter! ”

"What?"

Ran suddenly turned her head,

"You can still see it?!"

"Huh! Was it a squirrel climbing on that tree just now? Hey! If your eyesight is not good, you can't see clearly for just a few kilometers - it hurts, it hurts! Don't pinch! Throw it away, throw it away! ”

It's never wrong to say that evil is rewarded for evil, and even Ran has discovered the words in my words. I tried desperately to pull the red fingers out of its grasp, but it was not easy to break free from the iron pincers that looked like eagle claws!

"You!"

She stomped her foot and put my deformed palm on her wrist with her backhand.

"Take me down!"

"Wow."

I was a little surprised, and I craned my neck and said tentatively,

"Now don't you worry about me 'doing' myself?"

"Don't force me to say it a second time!"

"Okay, let's go!"

To be a human being, you have to know how to be in a measured position, and although I have lost my memory, I still understand this basic truth. So I straightened up, put my arm on her shoulders and guided her against the wall, and then carefully moved from the edge of the path to the front of her.

"Are you alright?"

She was still covering her eyes with her hands, and although she was already cautiously holding her fragile self-esteem, she couldn't help but be a little flustered after losing her eyesight. Looking at its anxious and helpless appearance, I was a lot more relaxed, judging from the behavior of the people along the way, it was at least not a complete monster, and it was more or less fortunate to be able to communicate with creatures with normal human emotions in the current situation, but it was just ......

I looked at my right hand, which was firmly clasped in my eyes, and I couldn't help but guess - what was it? From the horrific morphological transformation of the past, to the physical abilities that were quite different from those of humans, and the current manifestation of photophobia, it seemed that it was not so much a wild animal as some kind of plant that grew in cold and damp places, and it seemed that this assumption also explained her pale green skin. Just when I was fascinated, I was urged to do so

"Hey...... Haven't left yet? Yes, can you hurry up? In case Jue is in a hurry and can't see me, or I can't see him, although he is quite patient, but-"

Ahh Let's go! Really, three sentences that are inseparable......

Of course, I only dare to say this kind of thing to myself. In the end, I could only sigh, and with a little displeasure, I took my little hand, which was covered with heat, and climbed the cliff wall towards the bottomless foot of the mountain.

I don't know how many hours have passed, the grandeur of the sun has long since faded, and the remaining sunset sun is thrown out from the distant border of the forest and sea, streaked across the sky, and burned into a diffuse fiery red.

I turned my head to look at it, although it was not as desperately avoiding the light as before, but it still didn't seem to be able to see things normally, a few times I sneaked a glimpse of it behind me and tried to open its eyes, but finally gave up with a gloomy face, it should be that the damage caused by the bright light has not eased.

Thinking about it, I stopped rubbing my hair and other lumbar vertebrae, and looked melancholy at the dense forest leaning under my feet, at this time the forest leaves saw that the branches of the intertwined roots were clearly visible, I am afraid that it will not be long before I can successfully descend from the mountain, but according to the current state, is it really a wise decision to rush into this endless forest so recklessly?

"Uh...... How far is that village from this mountain? ”

I'm a little weighed and want to hear what she thinks.

"Hmm...... I guess it's going to be a long way off, no, maybe a little longer. ”

"So far? Shall we go down, or find a place to rest for the night? ”

"Of course it's going down, delay a little now, delay a little later, when will we get to Wei Fern!"

She rubbed her eyes slightly, clearly not intending to leave any room for the subject to turn around. But out of concern in my bones, I still tried to ask,

"But sleeping in the forest at night is dangerous, isn't it? After all, from what you described, it didn't look like a good place for a vacation. ”

"Why?"

Yu stopped what he was doing, looked in my direction with a suspicious face, and after a while, he suddenly sighed.

"Oh yes, the living enter the forest at night, and there is no time to return. You can't go in there. ”

"Huh?"

I chewed on the words in my heart to understand the strange saying sandwiched in it, so I asked in a panic,

"What, are there any monsters in this forest?"

At this time, she reluctantly stretched her eyes a slit, looked at me thoughtfully, and said,

"So you're not a local."

Hearing it say that, I suddenly became angry and amused, and it had to be a big heart to realize it now. Seeing that I didn't respond, she acquiesced to this fact, tapping her chin and squinting her eyes and muttering,

"But it's not impossible to go in, I remember that before I went up the mountain, I built a hut not far from the foot of the mountain, although it is not big, but it should be no problem to stay overnight for the time being. So—"

She suddenly patted me on the back,

"Let's go!"

It seems to be infected by its courageous state, and I inexplicably have a lot of motivation and confidence, and for a while I leap down the stone steps that are not too narrow. The majestic canopy of the trees gradually became more concrete, and the sunlight on the far edge became dim and dim, until the path I was staring at was dug into the brown and yellow dirt, and until my feet returned to the solid surface, the long, rugged mountain road was finally completed.

A heartfelt pride rose in my heart, and my emotions were at their peak! So I adjusted my posture and raised my head impatiently, wanting to see whether it was weird or gorgeous in front of me, but the next second, I froze.

A few meters away from me, next to the broken log, stood a man with a long axe. Behind him, outside a small low, messy bungalow, people with torches were walking briskly.

The man heard the sound of the dead branches breaking under my feet, put the tools in his hands on the side of the tree trunk at random, and cast a curious glance with his head sideways, but in an instant, the doubt on his face quickly turned into an irrepressible shock, even fear! I saw tears and snot on the man's stubble cheeks, and then he slammed his upper body to the ground, and after a few seconds, he knelt down directly in the direction of me and Yin, and made a very formal salute!

"Holy Maiden! Holy Maiden, she's back! ”

An indistinct roar rippled through the trees, and I heard the flapping of wings.

Sensing the strangeness, the torch-bearers stopped one by one and looked at us with expressions that could not be described in words, and the noisy house gradually fell silent, except for the reflective eyes hidden behind the window lattice, proving that it was indeed inhabited.

This strange sight spread like a virus, and for a moment the entire realm was almost silent.

"Hey! What's wrong? What happened?! ”

Yu's voice was abruptly terrifying. I grabbed its hand and looked up at the crooked arch not far away, a tattered plaque swaying in the wind and a series of hollow clicks.

"You say...... How far is that village? ”

After I finished asking, it took a long time to hear a whispered answer,

"Yes, at least one more day."

After hearing this, I raised my hand blankly and pointed to the wooden sign that had been divided into several pieces by light and shadow in the setting sun, on which the faded word "Wei Fern" reflected the dirty and colorful colors.

As if waiting for the executioner to read the final verdict before the knife was stabbed, my voice trembled, and I said slowly to the one behind me,

"But we ...... It's already here. ”
