The distance between the place where the three of them stood and the black forest was only a few hundred meters, and it only took twenty seconds at most to run with all their might, and it was almost the same time from Qi Xue entering the forest to the yellow light appearing, and the whole process was less than a minute. The woods are about the size of a football field, surrounded by a circle of swamps, and the three of them carpeted inside and out for a few laps, but they found no traces of a fight, and no footprints were found, Qi Xue seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

In the end, the three returned to the center of the woods.

There is a vacant space of more than ten square meters in front of them, and there is a round ball with a diameter of half a meter floating above the clearing, and the yellow light just now is emitted from the inside of the sphere, but compared with the kind of light that makes people can't open their eyes before, it has dimmed a lot now, and it is not uncomfortable to shine on people, but it is a little warm.

Lu Ban looked at the ball that was as round as a light bulb that had been magnified dozens of times, and asked, "Could this thing have something to do with Xiaoxue's disappearance?" ”

Feng Xinran also had the same doubts in his heart, the two looked at each other, slowly walked a few steps forward, and was just about to reach out to touch the ball, when Tu Jiang suddenly shouted: "Don't move." ”

The two of them stopped in mid-air, and at the same time looked at Tu Jiang suspiciously.

"If my guess is correct, this should be the Relic of the Covenant - Bird Amber."

Tu Jiang's expression was never more solemn, the light on the piece of paper in his palm was like electricity, and his figure flickered more frequently, and he could see that he was very nervous.

Lu Banxin and Feng Xinran quickly retreated.

The Qi people are a race that rarely comes into contact with the outside world in the entire abyss, and the people are stuck in the depths of the three-story swamp all year round, they believe in the god of the earth, and claim to be the servants of the earth, with a proud, paranoid, and unincapable personality. Once they discover that humans from other worlds have touched their holy relics, it is estimated that even if they hide to the ends of the earth, they will capture people and sacrifice them to the earth. These people are like kraft candy, once they get wet, don't think about getting rid of them.

Tu Jiang's explanation made Lu Banxin scared for a while.

In a world where there is no order and law, and human civilization is still in its infancy, the word truth does not exist, and the way of life of these people is closer to that of primitive society, and there are many more ways to communicate with people than those abyss demon wolves.

"What then? Was Xiaoxue captured by them? ”

Lu Ban was so anxious that his head was sweating. She and Qi Xue didn't get together again after a gap of seven years, and if she suffered an accident because of her persistence, she probably wouldn't forgive herself for the rest of her life.

"Don't worry, Xiaoxue will be fine."

Feng Xinran was worried that Lu Banxin was thinking too much, so he hurriedly comforted him and searched carefully.

The clearing below the sphere was a weedy field, the blades of which had turned black and curled, and all the water had evaporated, for the same reason as these trees, but if they were burned in the heat, the leaves would not have turned black, and they would have looked more like they had been smoked by black.

But this practice is impractical, because there are no traces of fire on the ground, and there is no plant ash, and the leaves do not show this curled up if they are not smoked at high temperatures.

"No fire...... What else can be done? ”

Feng Xinran was puzzled.

With Qi Xue's strength, if she encounters danger, she will leave clues to her death, but now there is no hint except for the footprints of the three of them, which can only show one problem, Qi Xue disappeared very suddenly, and she didn't have time to react at all.

This forest is near the entrance of the second floor, and Feng Xinran remembers that the last time he came here, it was still lush and lush, and there was nothing abnormal, indicating that the formation time of the black forest was very short. Since there is an amber here, it must be related to the Qi people, and Qi Xue's disappearance came after the yellow light appeared......

"Is it because of the light?"

Feng Xinran raised his suspicions.

"But aren't we standing in the light now?" Lu Banxin disagreed, "Why haven't we disappeared?" ”

"It should have something to do with the brightness of the light."

Without waiting for Feng Xinran to answer, Tu Jiang was the first to speak, his voice trembled a little, and the piece of paper in his hand became brighter and brighter. He said, "Light should have no boundaries, but if you think about it, we saw light moving on the ground just now, what does it mean?" ”

"Means there's something else here." Lu Ban didn't think about it, so he took his words.

"Yes...... It's ......"

Tu Jiang's voice trembled even more.

Lu Banxin didn't know if it was her own delusion, she found that Tu Jiang's face was almost transparent, which meant that he was very scared.

Feng Xinran also noticed his abnormality, and hurriedly asked him, "Tu Jiang, did you think of something?" ”

Tu Jiang's body trembled, and he looked at Feng Xinran in horror, his voice had changed tone.

"That thing? No way...... Impossible, absolutely impossible...... That thing, it won't ......."

He was like a fool who had been stripped of all his soul, his eyes were motionless, his feet were involuntarily retreating, his face was already distorted, and it seemed that he must have thought of something that terribly frightened him.

"What the hell is it? What can't be? ”

Feng Xinran grabbed Tu Jiang's shoulder and asked anxiously.

Tu Jiang shook his head like a rattle, and he was shocked, he was completely crazy, and he kept shouting: "Impossible...... No...... No way. ”

His state is obviously dominated by fear, the human brain has been completely numb, the body is not controlled, in short, he has become neurotic, in this case, it is useless to ask anything.

Feng Xinran had to push him aside.

Qi Xue's disappearance and the change in Tu Jiang happened very suddenly, even Feng Xinran, who was calm-minded, was a little at a loss, he dragged Lu Banxin and hurriedly explained a few words.

"Later, if there is an abnormal situation, you go first, go back first and then make plans."

"But what about Xiaoxue? I can't leave her behind. ”

Lu Banxin knew that Tu Jiang would not go crazy for no reason, something must have happened, but they didn't know it for the time being. At this point, it is a bit impractical to go to the second floor to find the water silkworm beads, but if she wants to leave Qi Xue and go back by herself, she can't do it.

"Obedient, I'll stay to find Xiaoxue, you go back the same way, the storm has passed, there should be no danger along the way."

"I can't leave you alone, I insisted on looking for the water silkworm beads, Xiaoxue is also because I am missing, and I will stay if I want to stay."

"No, you can't stay." Feng Xinran's tone carried an insistence that could not be refused.

"Believe me, listen to me." Lu Banxin said sincerely: "I know that you and Xiaoxue have been by my side to protect me since I was a child, although I didn't know it before, but now that I have grown up and awakened, I have the ability to protect myself, and I will stay." ”

Feng Xinran shook his head firmly, and said word by word: "You must go back." ”

At the moment of the dispute, the light in the yellow ball suddenly dimmed, the two looked at each other stunned, hurriedly turned their heads, and saw a palm-sized bird appear in the eyes of the two in the clearing.
