17. Old Forest Exploration

was so deadlocked, but the little brother opened his mouth, ripped off the piece of meat, and rushed forward, already out of Qi Mu's palm. But Qi Mu was holding a few dog hairs in his hand, and he was obviously passing a level.

The little brother was in pain, turned around and ran to Qin Rouyi's feet. Qi Mu stood up and looked at his little brother with a look of disbelief: "Did you see it just now, little brother, it seems to have transformed." Terrifying! ”

Qin Rouyi smiled and said, "What, are you afraid?" ”

"Who's afraid?" Qi Mu straightened his waist and snorted coldly: "I want to remind you, take my little brother to see if there is rabies or some infectious disease, there must be a problem, don't bite you then, it's an infectious disease." ”

Qin Rouyi snorted: "Nonsense, the little brother was raised by me, and he will only bite those who want to pluck his tail hair." ”

Qi Mu shook the dog hair in his hand and said with a smile: "Master, have I passed?" ”

"You've passed." Qi Murong nodded, and said again: "I thought you wouldn't be able to get it in one day, but now that you have it, do you want to start the third level directly?" ”

Qi Mu stretched his waist and said with a smile: "Of course, it's okay, pass the test early, and you can treat my master." Master, let's talk about it quickly, is it fishing or catching dogs? ”

"The third level, you go there and find something strange to come out." Qin Murong raised his hand and pointed to the deep forest in the distance.

Qi Mu was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "What is it?" ”

"Strange stuff." Qin Murong smiled slightly: "As for what it is, I won't say anything." Whether you can find it and bring it out, this is the third level. ”

Qin Rouyi was puzzled: "Grandma, the third level is not ......" Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Qin Murong: "This time it was changed." It's different from what you used to be. Qin Rouyi hesitated and wanted to say more, but because of Qin Murong's eyes, he could only stop talking.

Qi Mu saw it in his eyes, and immediately understood that Qin Rouyi had also broken through the three levels before, but the third level was obviously different from the current one. It seems that Qin Murong made a temporary decision and changed his mind. It's just that in this deep forest, there are always strange noises in the middle of the night, could it be related to the strange things that Qin Murong said? The strange sound was sharp and piercing, weird and inexplicable, I don't know if it's a person or a ghost, wouldn't it be dangerous to go so rashly?

Qi Mu's thoughts turned sharply in his heart, Qin Murong snorted, and just about to speak, Qi Mu had already waved his hand to interrupt: "Okay, okay, don't say it, I know what you want to say, and if you can't do it, you can leave, regardless of my master, right?" Don't worry, I will definitely pass this level, I have passed two levels in a row, even if it is not for the master, I have to fight for my own breath. ”

Qin Murong nodded: "Okay, this time, I won't give you a time limit, when to take it out and put it in front of me, and when to finish." But I want to remind you that I have never been into this deep forest, and I don't know what is inside. If you get lost or encounter danger, you do so at your own risk. ”

"Sir, I'm not scared!" Qi Mu clapped his hands, suddenly became arrogant, picked up two flatbreads from the stone table, nibbled on them as he walked, walked out of the courtyard, and walked towards the deep forest.

When Qi Mu walked away, Qin Rouyi couldn't help but speak: "Grandma, isn't the third level the back mountain chopping bamboo, why did you let him go to the deep forest?" It's weird in the deep forest, and we haven't figured it out yet. ”

Qin Murong said coldly: "Don't think I don't know, you went to help him at the first level yesterday." Hmph, what I told you, you forgot everything, you have no idea when you see a man, don't you? ”

Qin Rouyi's face turned red, and she snorted, "I, I didn't." ”

"Don't quibble!" Qin Murong waved his hand, and Zhang Tiansheng laughed beside him: "Yes, yes, the little girl still has to be reserved, let my unsuccessful little apprentice take the initiative more." ”

"Zhang Tiansheng, do you still want to die?" Qin Murong raised his voice suddenly, turned around and entered the door, Zhang Tiansheng smiled, and was about to go in, but suddenly turned around and whispered: "Miss Qin, you helped my little apprentice at the first level, and your aunt said just that." It doesn't seem to be angry. In this level, if you want to help, just go, your grandma won't blame you. ”

Qin Rouyi's face turned even redder, and she turned her head to the side: "This is his business, it has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me, I didn't think about helping him." ”

Zhang Tiansheng walked into the room with a smile, the door closed, Qin Rouyi looked at Qi Mu's gradually blurred back, and sighed slightly.

Qi Mu took the dry food and ate while walking, and when he finished eating the cake in his hand, he had already walked out of the river for more than three kilometers, with dense woods in front of him, and the wild paths were secluded, which seemed to be ordinary woods at first glance, but when he thought of the terrifying sound in the middle of the night last night, Qi Mu couldn't help but shiver.

"What Shi Niang asked me to find must be related to that terrifying sound." Qi Mu thought secretly: "If it's an object, it's fine, but the sound is like a monster roaring, what if it's a demon and a monster?" If it is true, for the sake of the master, I have to fight hard...... Let's save our lives first. ”

Qi Mu walked slowly into the deep forest, there were a few normal big trees outside, but they were all crooked-necked trees growing horizontally and vertically, some rising into the sky, and some growing horizontally, like a big man lying horizontally in front of him. There are occasionally a few rocky rocks on the grass, and unknown small flowers are of different colors, which are inexplicably bewitching.

A few steps further, the cold wind suddenly began to blow from all directions, Qi Mu looked up, the forest was uneven, covering the sky and the sun, it was still noon, but there was no sunshine, and it was dark and gloomy all around.

Qi Mu swallowed his saliva, took a step forward, suddenly felt wrong, quickly retracted his call, and looked at it, the land in front of him slowly sunken, and it turned out to be a swamp.

The swamp slowly expanded like a tide, surging towards Qi Mu's feet, and all the stones and stakes on the ground were sunk in. Qi Mu was taken aback, and hurriedly ran a few steps to the side, but the swamp changed direction and still rushed towards his feet.

The swamp seems to be only one piece, and it is very slow, and everywhere it passes, it will fall, but after it passes, the place where it fell will be restored. Qi Mu found the opportunity, crossed the swamp with a big stride, and landed behind the swamp, but the swamp turned its head and tail, and rushed towards his feet.

Qi Mu pulled his legs and ran, ran for a while, and saw a big stone abrupt, so he climbed up, the swamp reached the foot, and slowly plunged the big stone into it first, and it seemed that it was about to touch the soles of Qi Mu's feet, but the devouring stopped. It turns out that this swamp also has a limit, and swallowing this big stone is just enough to eat.

Qi Mu half-squatted on the stone, observing the surroundings. This is definitely not a natural phenomenon, the swamp seems to have life, and it can follow people back and forth, could it be the formation of the Earth Sect?

Qi Mu jumped out of the boulder and took a few steps forward, a big tree was in front of him, the trunk was thick, and the crown of the tree was like a ball. The tree was in the middle of the way, and it had to be crossed to go further.

Qi Mu stepped forward, grabbed the trunk of the tree with one hand, jumped hard, just crossed the trunk, but felt heavy, and before he could react, he had already fallen heavily on the ground, and his buttocks were about to come out.

Qi Mu hurriedly stood up, leaned against the big tree and looked around, the surroundings were still quiet, even darker, all kinds of trees were crossed, like strange people were looking at him. Qi Mu stood up straight, but he felt heavy, and it was very difficult to stand, and the clothes on his body seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and he pulled himself to sit on the ground.

Qi Mu struggled, took two steps forward, and felt out of breath, and then looked at the ground, steady, and there was no swamp. He took two steps, patted his head, and shouted, "Gravity isn't right!" The voice shouted, and there was no response in this deep mountain and old forest.

Qi Mu bent down to pick up a small stone on the ground, but he felt that it weighed a hundred catties when he started, and it felt laborious to hold it, let alone get it higher. He changed another branch on the ground, but it was still heavy. No wonder I can't walk at all, the gravity in this place is unusual.

After Qi Mu stepped back into the big tree trunk, he felt relaxed as usual, daring to love this big tree trunk, it was like isolating two worlds, the gravity of the inner world was very strong, but the outer world was still normal.

"Hmph, I am an active Taoist who talks about science, understands dialectic, and talks about Marxism-Leninism," Qi Muzhen said: "This place in front of me obviously violates my beliefs, it is not scientific, it is not scientific, and Newton can be angry to death in the world." I'd better take a detour. ”

He walked along the direction of the trunk as he spoke, wanting to change his path, he took two steps and felt that it was wrong, when he walked over just now, he clearly saw that the trunk was only ten meters high, but now he couldn't see the bottom, Qi Mu walked along the trunk for a long time, but it still didn't come to the end, it seems that this trunk is a junction line, guiding you to only go forward, want to change the road, but it is impossible.

Unable to find the way, Qi Mu turned around and wanted to retreat, but found that the scene behind him had also changed. Only then did he understand that the strange place he was in at the moment, no matter what, was not easy to retreat.

There was no other way, Qi Mu could only step over the big tree trunk again, his body sank suddenly, and he could only lift his legs and move forward. The surroundings are getting darker and darker, and the cold wind is constantly blowing, mixed with the smell of rot, which makes people want to vomit. Further ahead the road is narrow, in the middle of the erection of a slender stone half a person high, Qi Mu walked in front of the stone, already tired and out of breath, can't help but hold on to the stone to rest, I didn't expect that as soon as I touched it, there was a click, cracks were exposed on the feldspar, the cracks instantly expanded and scattered, a huge stone suddenly fell apart, and there was a buzzing sound in the stone.

Qi Mu panicked, and subconsciously shrank back, and among the stones, countless black insects flew out, overwhelming the sky and rushing straight over.

Qi Mu rolled to the ground, but the gravity was too great, and his movements were still slow, and the group of black insects were flying over his head, and when he reached out and touched it, half of the bangs on his forehead were missing. Qi Mu was shocked and frightened, the black flying insect folded back, like a black mist rushing over, Qi Muxin picked up a stone and threw it hard, the stone hit the flying insect, and the speed visible to the naked eye turned into powder.

The flying insects came quickly, Qi Mu barely got up and ran a few steps, feeling that the sound behind him was getting denser and denser, and suddenly turned around and went around behind a big tree, and the flying insects flew directly over, all crashing into the big tree. There was a sudden silence around, followed by a rumbling sound, and a big tree with three people hugging each other was about to collapse from the disconnection of the boss.

Qi Mu used his strength to eat milk and went around to the side, the big tree fell heavily to the ground, the black flying insect ate the trunk, and rushed out again, chasing Qi Mu, Qi Mu was limited by the strange gravity of this place, he couldn't run anymore, he barely walked two steps, the flying insect had reached the back of his head, and he was about to rush through his brain, hollowing him out, he was suddenly tripped under his feet, fell quickly, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support the ground, but a yellow and white skull appeared in front of him, and his deeply sunken eye sockets were facing him.
