"Where is this, it looks like Meiwu's house over there." The prince was about to take a step forward. Suddenly, a mirror flew in front of him, and he said in a stern tone. "Dare to break into my mansion, first pass my illusion." It turns out that the security measures of the sister dance are illusions. I saw that the mirror turned, the light flashed, and the scenery was different. The prince was standing at a fork in the road.

"It's strange, but it's the only way forward. Which way to go? ”

In front of the prince were two very different paths, one that seemed to lead to the ruins of an ancient city, gloomy and lit by street lamps, but the terrain was perfect for an adventurous man like the prince. In such an ancient city, the prince has an advantage in dealing with the enemy. The other path clearly leads into the wilderness.

The prince was about to choose the path of the ancient city, but before he could take a step, he heard the small voice of the wolf queen: "Ah! There is fire, ghost fire, and there is it again! ”

Oops, I almost forgot that Wolf Ji is so afraid of fire. I am especially afraid of the flickering phosphorus fire like the one burning in the street lamps of this ancient city. It occurred to the prince suddenly. Wolf Ji is already like this, and she must not be hurt even more. So he said to the wolf, "Don't worry, we won't go that way. ”

"But, Prince, you are more familiar with the human world! How can you survive in a place like the forest without my help? It doesn't matter, prince, it's important to keep us alive. As long as the prince is there, I am not afraid of anything. But the prince had already made up his mind, and was thinking about how to find a reason to convince Wolf Ji, but after thinking about it carefully, the prince suddenly thought that since Mei Wu could set up such a big game to lure her prey into taking the bait, it was enough to show that her IQ was not low. Isn't the intention of setting up two paths to confuse the intruders? And it must be to get them lost in it, or else you can kill the visitors before they even come in. Then as long as you use your brain, you can think that as a human being, you will definitely choose to enter the ancient city, and the forest dwellers will definitely choose the wilderness, which means that the wilderness is full of problems that animals can't solve, and the ancient city must be filled with traps designed for humans. In addition, if Mei Mai is a little more shrewd, she may expect someone to do the opposite like the prince, then she may also infiltrate some elements of each other in the two modes. However, the prince was also a man who spent a lot of time in the forest, and traveling while blind made his other senses more active and thoughtful, so from this point of view, choosing the wilderness was the best choice. The prince told these reasonings to Wolf Queen, who was silent for a long time before responding: "The prince is so powerful, the analysis seems to be very thorough, but unfortunately, I don't understand it very well......"

"It's okay if you don't understand. We've made our choice anyway, and you see, as soon as we set foot on this path, the other one is completely gone. Sure enough, the prince had just set foot at the fork in the road, and the ancient city disappeared like a mirage.

"Wow, Prince, how can you be so hasty?"

"Time is of the essence, we have to hurry." The prince breathed a sigh of relief, and walked forward with all his might in the brisk walking method seen in the book. In fact, the prince was also thinking too much. Sister Dance knows that she will not be the opponent of a smarter person, since it is possible to be solved by humans, she has lost the original intention of defense, not to mention, human emotions are complex and uncontrollable, and it is not of much use to Sister Dance. And the reason why Mei Wu tried to torture the two of them was actually to collect their emotions, such unforgettable heartache and sadness, that feeling of despair, and feelings of regret...... In short, all the unpleasant feelings were collected by her as magical materials. And since the human invasion has so much trouble and no benefit, Mei Wu simply buried the deadliest killing move in the ruins of the ancient city, so that the invaders have no return. By mistake, one man and one wolf passed the first hurdle safely.

"Prince, what are you doing?"

"I'm leaving all sorts of markings and signposts, and since I don't have a compass to show me the way, I have to keep an eye on where we're going and where we're going. Wherever you go, keep a record, like something in a book called a 'guide car'. ”

"Won't Mei Wu quietly change our mark?" Wolf asked worriedly.

"I'm afraid not, otherwise, she wouldn't have let us solve our mysteries in her illusion."

The prince guessed correctly, Mei Wu is extremely allergic to chili peppers and is resting at this time, this is the only chance for the prince and wolf to win. Besides, Mei Wu didn't take the prince in her eyes at all.

"Hey, what's over there?" The prince saw a cage-like thing in the distance, and there seemed to be a creature in it, and when he stepped in, he realized that it was a little fox. She also saw the prince and beckoned to him desperately: "Help! Help me! ”

"The witch locked you up."

"It's the bad witch who is full of foxes." The fox argued very seriously. "Not the pretty, intellectual forest witch."

"Her name is Mei Wu." The prince laughed. "Looks like you're on good terms with the Witch of the Forest."

"Get me out of here."

The prince shook his head as he shook the bamboo cage. "I'm sorry, we're in a hurry......"

"You have to save me!" The fox seemed to be quite dissatisfied with the commanding tone. Later, his tone softened, but it was still a strong tone: "Please." ”

"We're in a hurry, so a lot of the usual methods are a waste of time, and I'm going to think of a quick way."

"Do you already have a way?"

"As long as you find a sharp stone, you can cut it open, or burn it directly with fire, in short, there are many time-consuming and laborious ways to open it, but we are short of time."

"As long as you move quickly, you won't waste time! It's useless for you to do nothing like this! The fox was jumping around in its cage restlessly.

"Quiet! Or you sit quietly from now on, and these green bamboos will soon decay and then be crushed by the big stone on your head, and you can come out. About three weeks. The prince threatened to give up the rescue.

The fox closed his mouth, and the prince looked at the boulder pressed on the cage, and with a little contemplation ran into the woods. After some time, he ran over with a large branch.

"Now, I'm going to show you the wisdom of humanity." As he spoke, he struggled to lift the value above his head and into the pit under the rocks. "Be careful, don't get smashed." As he spoke, he hugged the branch and sank violently, and the branch turned into a lever and pried the stone. After a few pry strokes, the stone leaves the roof of the cage and falls. The prince grabbed the bamboo and pulled it up, and the fox came to help.

"As I expected, the center of gravity of the stone is offset, and it is easy to pry from this place, and these bamboos are inserted in the ground, and a stone is pressed on them, but the ground is soft, and as long as the stones are removed, the bamboo is easy to pull up." The prince muttered to the fox, "I guess it was this cage that fell from the sky and locked you inside, and Mei Wu added a stone to it, right?" ”

"Hmph, I want you to take care of it." The fox was surprised and forcibly pretended to be disdainful, and it seemed that the prince had guessed correctly. "You're supposed to go to that girl, right? Since you saved me, I'll go with you for trouble. After all, I'm still very interested in magic, although I can't cast any powerful spells for the time being. ”

"Prince, can I speak to her alone?" Wolf Queen said to the prince, "It's better that you don't listen, I'm ......"

"It's nothing, I won't listen to a word - fox, I'll call you like that, my friend wants to say a few words to you." After saying that, he handed the gem to the fox. "You'd better keep it in your ears."

"Forest Witch." No sooner had the fox put the jewel to his ear than he heard the wolf's deep voice. "Although you don't have any of the original smell on you, the way you act and speak betrays you, and there are no two people in this forest who can speak so arrogantly."

The witch let out a cold sweat, but she still suppressed her surprise and pretended to be calm and said, "Miss Wolf, I will laugh out loud if you talk like this again." With your pleasant voice, don't pretend to be deep. ”

"You're not stupid enough to join forces with a foreign witch you can't even name, and make the whole forest hostile, are you?" Wolf Ji forced him to ask, there was a great danger for the unwitting prince to be with the forest witch, and he had to gamble all his majesty to intimidate the other party. "Listen, I don't know what you're here for, and I don't want to know, but if you ignore the prince, I swear," Wolf Queen's voice grew grinning. "I'll get you stalked."

The witch swallowed and foamed. "Don't worry, I'm not interested in doing thankless work. However, I can help you somewhat. With that, the witch took the jewel away from her ear.

"Are you finished? It's time for us to get on the road. The prince said.

"Do you know where to go?" The fox asked, somewhat surprised. "Oh, I mean, it seems like a good idea to follow the forest path."

"So far we haven't been hindered in any way, so the ...... is stated"

"You're on the right track?"

"On the contrary, we are on the wrong track. This illusion is not a labyrinth, it is meant to keep all uninvited guests out. So not only did the wrong fork in the road have traps, but the right path should also have traps to deceive people, and now everything is so smooth that we don't get lost, we don't encounter traps or poisonous snakes and beasts. There's only one possibility, she's going to lead us somewhere. The prince turned his head to look at the fox, "I guess you didn't get lost, but were directly locked up here by Mei Wu, right?" ”

"Forehead ......"

"If you get lost and accidentally step on a trap, why don't you have footprints on the road?" In fact, the prince understood that the fox must have been lost and wandering around in the woods, and was deliberately placed here by Mei Wu. But if you don't stimulate her, maybe she won't tell the truth.

"I accidentally got lost in the woods and was brought here and locked up." The fox confessed dejectedly and impatiently. She didn't want to admit that Mei Wu was better than her, "Just like you said, it's going well, but you can't get out." Moreover, the forest seemed infinitely large, and I never went around it again. ”

"In that case," said the prince...... thoughtfully, "combined with the analysis I have made in your speech, I deduce that this forest must have adopted an old routine called ghost hitting the wall. You see, although we feel like we're walking straight, we actually take a little bit to the left with each step, and if we go on like this, we end up spiraling in circles, never going back to where we are, and we can't get out. ”

"So how should we go?" Wolf asked.

"I don't know, but at least we can't follow the path she hinted at us." As he spoke, the prince picked up a bamboo stick from the ground and slapped the grass as he left the forest path.

"It's called scaring the snake, and if there's a trap, it should be possible to poke it out like this." As he spoke, he heard the terrifying sound of metal crashing, and an iron clamp snapped together.

"Actually using the means of hunters, low-level." The prince smiled and said, "I have seen more clever methods in the book 'Hunting Instructions'. He lit it on the ground, and a trap would be triggered after a few steps, but the speed of the man and the fox was not slowed down at all, and soon, there were no traps on the ground. Walking further forward, the scenery suddenly changed, it turned out that this level of illusion was just a forest path that could never be reached, but this layer of illusion alone blocked all other invaders so far.
