"Cistanche, you're also here to take the test of going out of the mountain?" The alfalfa girl asked.

"What is the test out of the mountain?" Mu Yu's heart tightened, and he realized that something was not quite right.

"Boss Heng said that working as a helper in his house can earn ten taels of silver every month, but to become his helper, he must first pass a test, that is, to get out of this Thousand Machines Valley, that is, to go out of the mountain test." The alfalfa girl patiently explained.

Mu Yu's heart became more and more nervous when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "How did you meet Boss Heng?" ”

"In the aftermath of the rebellion in Liangzhou, the six counties in the northwest were affected, and there was famine. My family was in Chang'an, when the family was dying of hunger, I met the boss Heng who went to Liangzhou to do business, bought us ten baked cakes, and gave my family ten taels of silver, the family was grateful to Dade, and he asked me if I was interested in being a helper for him, and his man brought me here. ”

"When did you run into him?" Mu Mo became more and more vigilant, and then asked.

"Half a month ago," the alfalfa girl thought for a while, "Boss Heng found a place to house my family, and asked me to wait for him to pick me up to accept the test of going out of the mountain." This morning, a guy in black came to the house, and just brought me here, saying that he was going to compete with dozens of people for the opportunity to be a helper of the boss of Heng, and I thought you were also here to try your luck. ”

Mu Yu "chuckled" in his heart, and suddenly realized that he had "fallen into a trap".

What Alfalfa touched was obviously Sikong Heng, and the one who went to pick up the Alfalfa girl today was Ye Ji's Black Shadow Guard-

Since yesterday, Mu Yu has noticed that there are four fewer people in the Black Shadow Guard. At this rate, at least three more people will also be brought for this reason. According to Alfalfa, there are dozens of people in the mountains!

Gather dozens of them to see who can get out of the mountain, what does Sikong Heng want to do?!

"Cistanche, let's go together", Alfalfa finally mustered up the courage and timidly grabbed Mu Yu, "The clouds in this mountain are deep and foggy, and there is obviously the sound of wild beasts being caught by beasts around them, but there is no figure in sight, which makes people panic." ”

"What's the trap?" Mu Yu listened sideways, but he couldn't hear anything.

"Can't you hear me?" Alfalfa was a little surprised, "You listen carefully, and the sound of snakes and bats." ”

Mu Yu was surprised, and finally understood what Sikong Heng meant: It turned out that Alfalfa can listen to sounds that ordinary people can't hear, just like she can remember things that ordinary people can't remember, they are all people with special functions.

It's just that Sikong Heng gathered many such people in the mountains, what exactly does he want to do?!

"Anyway, let's be together." Alfalfa begged with some fear.

"Okay, let's do it together." Mu Mo agreed to the request, thinking to herself, alfalfa has skills that she doesn't have, and she may be able to help her get out of the mountain.

When Alfalfa heard this, she couldn't help but hug Mu Yu happily: "You can find a companion!" ”

Mu Yu and alfalfa are together, groping in the misty valley. After walking a few steps, Alfalfa suddenly grabbed Mu Yu: "Be careful!" It's the place where I just heard the sound of the trap, and there seems to be a man's footsteps! ”

"If it's really a person, maybe it's someone who is competing to be a helper, so it's better to find a way with him." Mu Yu protected the alfalfa beside him, "You don't have to be afraid, if there are bad people, I will protect you." ”

"Hmm!" Alfalfa gratefully hugged Mu Wu's arm and showed her the way according to the direction of the voice.

Gradually, Mu Yu could finally hear the beast's wheezing and muffled human voice.

When he saw the man and beast, he saw a half-skinned fanged boar and a stout maiden, about the same age, with a reed tied around her neck—another girl!

"Hey!" Alfalfa tightened behind Mu Yu, and timidly yelled at the girl who was tied with reeds.

"You're here to be a helper, too?" The reed girl glanced at the cistanche accessory.

"You too?" Alfalfa asked timidly, poking her head out from behind Mu Yu.

"Or else?" Reed withdrew his gaze from the alfalfa and continued to fight the boar.

"Whew-" Alfalfa finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Why don't we go all the way?" ”

"It's up to you?" Reed looked at Mu Yu's alfalfa twice, "Help me clean up this wild boar first." ”

"Why kill it? It's weird to look at. Alfalfa looked timidly at the bleeding boar.

"Hehe, don't you know that the 'Valley of Thousand Machines' is called the 'Valley of the Dead'?"

The reed did not raise his head, and the two knives stabbed open the belly of the wild boar, "There is a proverb in Taibai Mountain, 'Thousand Machine Valley, Valley of the Dead, once entered, there is no trace', the mountain is foggy all year round, the terrain is ever-changing, if you want to get out of here, it is almost impossible to get out of here for ten days and half a month." If you have the ability, eat and drink enough to conserve your strength, otherwise you will starve to death if you don't find a way out! ”

"Oh my God!" Alfalfa exclaimed, "It's so hard to get out of here!" ”

"Now that there is a great drought and famine, and you can't eat a meal for three or four days, do you think it's so easy to get an errand of ten taels of silver a month?" Glancing at her, the reed cut the boar into several pieces, wrapped them in separate skins, and carried them on his shoulders with sticks.

"Okay, it's not a problem for me to eat this meat by myself for two or three days, even if I add you two drag oil bottles, I don't know if I can last for a few days", Reed looked at Mu Yu's alfalfa, and judged to himself, "But I am thin and small, and it is estimated that I will not eat much." ”

"You're a hunter?" Mu Mo looked at the reed, looked at her behavior, and guessed her identity.

"Well, the Orion of Taibai Mountain." Reed replied, "Let's go, find a way." ”

Alfalfa's eyes were full of joy, and she hurriedly dragged Mu Yu Reed along and continued on the road.

Mu Mo and his party groped in the mountains, and after a while, Mu Wu suddenly stopped.

"No, we're going back to where we came from." Mu Mo sorted out his thoughts and recalled the line he had just passed.

"Didn't look back", Alfalfa was a little puzzled, "Obviously it looks different from just now?" ”

"It's possible that it's the same place," said Reed, "and the 'Valley of the Dead' is also known as the 'Valley of a Thousand Machines,' and because the changes in the morning and dusk tend to make the mountain shape appear in a myriad state, it is possible that we are really going back." ”

"It's also a good thing, the wrong way has been ruled out, and we will change the way." Mu Yu said, taking alfalfa and reeds along the same road to a fork in the road, "We just entered from the left, this time we will look from the right." ”

"yes, okay." Alfalfa agreed ignorantly, and was already confused by the road conditions.

Mu Yu took alfalfa and reeds, and groped along the road for a long time, but still returned to the original point.

"It's bigger than I imagined," Mu Mo looked at the darkening sky through the thick fog, "Today, we definitely can't get out, so it's better to continue tomorrow." The good news is that we are already familiar with half of the road in the mountains. ”

"Cistanche, you're so amazing!" Alfalfa was full of adoration, only glad that she had met two partners.

"Hehe, I've heard a lot of such words in the past seven or eight days, and in the end no one can go out, I hope you can succeed." Reed disagreed, unloaded the wild boar on his back, and spread the pigskin on the ground to rest.

"You've been here for seven or eight days?!" Alfalfa looked horrified.

I didn't expect the test to be so severe.
