Chapter 44: The Forest That Can't Go Forward
The light shines through the lush forest, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
There seems to be a hazy fog around it, which makes it a little more ethereal. Unknown flowers bloom in the bushes, colorful.
Mu Jiujiu woke up after arriving at the poisonous mist swamp, and the three of them walked together in the woods.
She looked up, and the light spilled through the cracks in the forest sea, drawing countless points of light of different sizes.
Mu Jiujiu thought to himself, in fact, this place is not as scary as it seems. She thought the Poison Mist Swamp was full of things that were going to kill people.
Mu Jiujiu was a little interested, and asked, "Where are we going now?" ”
Duan Qianxiao: "Let's find a place where the turquoise flowers bloom first." ”
At the beginning, one of the tasks of their brothers and sisters was to find the Crystal Flower, so they could start here.
Mu Jiujiu: "Do you know the way?" ”
The forest in front of me was full of trees, and the surrounding area was surrounded by a misty mist, so I couldn't see where it was leading.
Duan Qianxiao: "I can only take one step at a time." ”
Okay, Mujiujiu shrugged.
She asked Dawn with her consciousness, "Do you have any information in the Poison Mist Swamp?"
Dawn: "Sorry, there's no record."
Mu Jiujiu: "There is no map, what do you want!" ”
Dawn: "Some of the information I have here is just some of the previous records of the exploration of the new world by people with special abilities, and it is likely that there are some remnants."
These few words are confusing to Mu Jiujiu, a person with special abilities? What the heck? Is this the game setting?
With a series of questions in her heart, she asked Dawn again, but the other party stopped talking as if he had died.
Hum.
At this time, Wen Yuan suddenly handed Mu Jiujiu an azure jade bottle.
Mu Jiujiu: "? ”
Wen Yuan: "This is the poison avoidance pill, although you have eaten the Xuantian Fruit, but just in case, you should take a little." ”
But I don't see any poison? Mu Jiujiu's eyes were puzzled.
Wen Yuan seemed to understand what she was thinking, and told her, "There are many things in the Poison Mist Swamp that contain poison, including those colorful flowers on the side of the road, and the fog that surrounds them. What's more, we have only just entered the outer edge of the forest, and we don't know what we will face inside. ”
"Okay, thanks." Mu Jiujiu took the jade bottle, poured out one, and obediently swallowed the anti-poison pill.
She wanted to return the jade bottle to Wen Yuan, but she heard the other party say, "You take it, just in case." ”
Mu Jiujiu: "What about you and Brother Qianxiao?" ”
Wen Yuan: "I don't have to worry, as for Brother Qianxiao......"
Duan Qianxiao smiled at them after hearing this, and said, "Don't be afraid, I brought dozens of bottles, and there are other effects, so I just want to give you some to prepare." With that, he took out a number of colorful bottles from the storage bag and stuffed them both.
Mu Jiujiu: "......"
The three of them made their way through the forest surrounded by mist. There seemed to be a gust of wind around him, and the fog was getting bigger.
Mu Jiujiu looked up and found that the deeper he went into the forest, the denser the woods became. At some point, the sun was gone, and it was obscured by the dense woods.
And the air around it seems to get colder.
Mu Jiujiu inexplicably felt a bad feeling in her heart, she always felt that there was something terrible in the depths of this thick fog.
She quickly shook her head, dispelling the thought.
Suddenly, a white shadow appeared in front of her eyes, passing in front of her eyes.
"Ahhh
Wen Yuan and Duan Qianxiao quickly picked up their swords after hearing her voice, but when they looked around, they found that there was nothing abnormal.
Duan Qianxiao: "You scared me to death, I thought something was attacking you......"
Mu Jiujiu was shocked in his heart.
"No, didn't you just see a white shadow float by?" She said weakly.
"No?" Duan Qianxiao said.
Wen Yuan listened to Mu Jiujiu's words and paused slightly.
Mu Jiujiu's face collapsed: "No, such a bloody ......" She continued: "Let's get closer, I'm afraid that I will be taken away by unknown creatures later." ”
Duan Qianxiao: "What nonsense. ”
Mu Jiujiu: "You don't understand, this is an experience." ”
They moved closer and walked forward together.
After a while, the scenery was still the same, the trees that covered each other, the fog around them, and there was no end in sight.
Mu Jiujiu: "How do I feel that something is wrong......
Duan Qianxiao: "This forest is a bit big. ”
Wen Yuan pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Stop." ”
The two looked at him suspiciously.
Wen Yuan: "We just came to this place. ”
With that, he pointed his sword at a notch next to the tree and said, "This is where I used to make a mark, but it still appears here, which can only mean ......"
Duan Qianxiao's face was solemn: "It shows that we are spinning in place." ”
Mu Jiujiu: The scene of "......" seems familiar.
She thought for a moment and said, "Can't we resist the sword?" ”
Duan Qianxiao glanced at her: "If I can, I would like to, but didn't you notice that after entering this poisonous mist swamp, your spiritual power is a little sluggish?" ”
Mu Jiu said in his heart, sorry no.
She still hasn't figured out how to use this thing. The last time I met the demon clan eating fish, it seems to be called Rong Xiu, and I also followed it after watching Sister Yumeng's sword, if you ask her how she feels about spiritual power......
She could only say that she felt an indescribable force swimming through her body, but she really didn't understand this thing.
Mu Jiujiu thought to himself, so what should I do now, I can't always go around in circles, right?
In doing so, she suddenly remembered some stories she had seen in the real world about ghosts hitting walls.
Mu Jiujiu said: "Could it be because there is danger ahead?" So there's something to stop us from entering the forest? ”
Duan Qianxiao smiled: "Your idea is very unique. ”
Mu Jiujiu thought to herself, what do you know, this is the experience she has learned from reading some stories!
She found that when she first met, Duan Qianxiao took good care of her because she was Sheng Canglan's apprentice. Now that I'm ripe, I'm getting more and more fond of teasing her.
It's a good thing, she doesn't want him to suppress his emotions all the time because of some things.
Mu Jiujiu still remembers him before, and there has always been an indelible sorrow between his eyebrows, even if he sometimes smiles, his eyes are a little sad.
It seems that since that night, after staying in the old man's house for one night, Duan Qianxiao has been different after waking up from the nightmare.
But since he didn't say it, Mu Jiujiu wouldn't ask.
Duan Qianxiao said: "Even if it is really like what you said, we are only prevented from entering because there is danger ahead, but we must also go in." After all, the Crystal Flower may be in the center of the forest. ”
Wen Yuan said: "It's okay, don't worry, I can ......"
Mu Jiujiu suddenly said with an awe-inspiring face: "I have a way!" ”
The two looked at her.
Mu Jiujiu thought to himself, at this moment, some of the ghost stories I watched before would come in handy!
One of the methods is to urinate a child.
This cannot be implemented, skip it.
Method 2, fingertip blood.
Mu Jiujiu's face was sad, and he said to Wen Yuan: "Borrow a sword." ”
Wen Yuan: "? Although he had doubts in his heart, he still handed the Cloud Blood Sword to Mu Jiujiu.
As soon as Mu Jiujiu's eyes were closed, he was about to swipe his fingertips with righteousness and awe-
The sharp sword light flashed, Wen Yuan's face changed, and his voice was eager-
"Wait!"
