The discussion was fruitless, and both fell silent. At this time, the sky seemed to be about to dawn, and I could already see the surrounding environment in a fog, and I was glad that the whole night, except for a shocking dream that I had, the people of Wong Tai Sin did not appear, and nothing bad happened. Later, when I thought about it, I figured it out, since we will be trapped by this labyrinth, and Wong Tai Sin is not a real immortal, he will also be trapped.

When the day was brighter, Liu Yue and Zhou Tong went down the tree separately, and then Sheng Shiyao went up to the tree shed to carry the six sons down. We have a little rest, it is difficult to freshen up in this environment, and the few bottles of water left have to be saved, and I don't know how many days this forest will have to walk.

A person can live for seven to ten days without food, and a longer one can live for fifteen days, but only if there is water. But if you don't drink water, then three days can be the limit. So the importance of water is incomparable.

Now that it has become clear that we are walking on a path designed by the ancients that can never be detoured, and that the compass has lost its effectiveness, we can only use the stupidest method. This is the most stupid method that I proposed, where the trees are dense, where it is impossible for people to walk, just go the other way.

The tool is - my Shadow Moon Knife.

There is a treasure knife that sharpens iron like clay, and it has to give full play to its strengths, although it is said that it is a bit violent to use it to chop branches, but the situation forces it, and it can only be reduced to this tool. Originally, it wasn't my turn to do such a thing as cutting down trees, but the shadow moon came from an evil sect, and no one could pull it out of its scabbard, and when I pulled it out and handed it to them, the blade would make a small clanging sound, as if in protest.

Zhou Tong didn't believe in evil, and reached out to hold the handle of the knife, but as soon as his fingertips touched, the Shadow Moon Knife would face the blade towards him, if it wasn't for the fast retraction of his hand, he would have become a second tall man, and his fingers were broken. Liuzi had already woken up, and he couldn't help but gasp when he saw it at this time, and his eyes were full of fear.

I could only smile bitterly, and I could only accept my fate to hold the shadow moon and be the lumberjack. Although Shadow Moon was so sharp that it was easy to cut down branches, it was too small and short, and I had to get close to cut it. After a few strokes, he was embarrassed, and his face and arms hurt from the branches. In fact, it's not just me who is difficult, everyone walks extremely hard, and the difficulty of this stupid way is unimaginable, especially after peeling off the dense branches, sometimes there is nowhere to put your feet.

After walking like this for a long time, I found that this stupid method seemed to work, because Sheng Shiyao's compass began to point straight up, which meant that we were out of the magnetic range. That huge magnetic field was like the very center of the forest, and then we had been walking around the center at different forks in the road. It is equivalent to saying that my stupid method has destroyed the balance of the forest formation, starting from the center of the circle and ending at the periphery, and walking in a circle radius.

With the guidance of the compass, we don't have to walk so hard, and we don't have to drill where it is difficult, everything follows the compass. But we obviously underestimated the size of this forest, and we did not go out until dusk, and there was a bottomless green forest in front of us, and it was very likely that we would end up walking out of this area, and it was very likely that we would have to walk for another day and a night. After walking for another two hours, it was dark again, and I had to decide to stop and rest.

I think we have to re-plan, if the forest itself covers an extremely large area, and it may take three or four days to walk from the center of the circle along the radius to the periphery, then we must be mentally prepared for this. But if we have never gotten rid of the formation laid by the ancients and are still following the old road, then we have to think deeply about what went wrong.

Let me start by possibly that we never left the range of the central magnetic field at all, but just changed from the original center at nine o'clock to six o'clock? Everyone fell silent, if this is really the case, it is equivalent to saying that today's hard work has been in vain, and we are standing still. Liu Yue insisted that we were on the right path, but we had underestimated the area of the forest, and we should be able to get out tomorrow.

This positive remark of hers is very important at this time, it can boost everyone's morale and not be too pessimistic. But the reality was that the next day we walked until dark and still didn't get out of the forest. We are physically and mentally exhausted, and we no longer have the strength to say words that boost morale, because Liu Yue's theory can almost be argued as untenable. The one that is established now is probably mine.

Sheng Shiyao, who had been particularly silent for two days in a row, finally spoke, and he asked us to rest, recuperate, and decide how to go tomorrow. I saw that his face was gloomy, he hadn't shaved for a few days, and his blue stubble was exposed, which looked a lot of vicissitudes. In fact, each of us is not good, our expressions are all tired, especially when we fall asleep this night, we really can't remember when we wake up, and our whole body is so sore that I can't do it. Because I had suffered a nightmare, I woke up to myself, and I didn't dare to sleep deeply, and the slightest sound would startle me, so this sleep was really uncomfortable.

Sheng Shiyao's final plan is to determine the direction of our walking through the direction of the sun overhead and the calculation of time. Suppose that from six o'clock in the morning, the sun rises in the east, and every two hours it shifts a little away from the east until dusk sets in the west. As long as we calculate the position of the sun accurately, we can follow a straight line, no matter what the maze is, the straight line will always reach the periphery. If we don't get out by dark, then continue to rest and continue to do this the next day.

This method sounds simple, but in fact, the calculation of the sun's position must be extremely accurate, and there must be no deviation, otherwise we are still taking a detour. I'm not good at this, in fact, only Sheng Shiyao can do it with the few people here. Because Feng Shui itself is closely related to this type of orientation. So we abandoned all the tools at our disposal, returned to nature, and used the eternal sun that rises in the east and sets in the west to locate and walk.

It is also thanks to everyone's belief in Sheng Shiyao, so after walking for three days, I finally saw the bright light at the edge of the dense forest that was not blocked by the shade of the trees, my vision was blurred, and when I turned my head, I saw not only me, but even Liu Yue and them were full of tears. This is a kind of joy and tears, without being there, you can't experience the feeling at that time, we go from hope to despair, and then from despair to hope, every day is like walking this cycle. And in the end, Sheng Shiyao walked us out.

In my heart, I felt that whatever was behind the woods was better than being trapped alive in the woods. Turning his eyes to look at the man beside him, he never felt that he was so majestic for a moment, even if he was covered in mud and embarrassed, and he had long since lost the elegance and handsomeness he had when he first came here, but he still felt that he was so good-looking.

He noticed my gaze and looked back at me, if I had always been afraid to face him in the past, because his eyes were like a dark pool, bottomless, like the man in black in a dream, he would suck the whole person in. But now, I stared straight at him, letting the adoration in my eyes convey unreservedly.

He said something, I didn't hear it clearly, and when he said the following, he turned his gaze back and said lightly: "From this distance, the forest should still be a kilometer away, and before it gets dark, let's hurry out." Everyone answered, burying their heads in the road, this time because the dawn was ahead, the steps were very big, and I didn't feel as tired as before.

When we walked out of the labyrinth, we were attracted by the green lake in front of us before we had time to shout and celebrate. Beyond the labyrinthine forest, there is actually a lake with a wide field of vision, and the water is really not exaggerated, it is turquoise, like an emerald. The lake is lined with willows, and the scenery is truly stunning.

But we didn't get fascinated by the beautiful scenery for long, and immediately realized a problem, this lake could not be seen on the opposite shore, and we did not know how long the left and right sides stretched, and if we did not get out of here, it would be equivalent to being sandwiched between the lake and the forest. We have very little food left, enough to last two days at most, which means that if we don't find our way to the outside world within two days, we will start starving.

As soon as he thought of this, a cold sweat broke out behind his back, and the happy smiles on his face froze, and he looked at Sheng Shiyao again, waiting for him to make a decision. After frowning and looking around, he decided to go in one direction first, and then turn back if it didn't work. He said that at least if we walked along the lake, we would not enter the maze forest again, and the lake would not be able to set up any Qimen formations.

The lake was indeed very wide, and we walked along the lake for several kilometers, but we did not reach the end, and it was obvious that we had rounded an arc, and gradually we felt that something was wrong, because we saw the mountains as far as the eye could see, and sure enough, when we reached the end of the lake, we found that it was blocked by the mountain, and the mountain was like a natural screen to intercept the lake. Looking up at the steepness of the mountain, it was clear that it was impossible to climb it with bare hands without any tools.

We had to go back the way we came, because we were no longer lost in the forest, and we were not afraid of getting lost again, so even when it was dark, we did not stop to rest. But after a few hours, we were desperate again, and on the other side of the lake there was a whole row of mountains, which were also impossible to climb. It is equivalent to saying that this green lake is sandwiched between two mountains, and it covers a very vast area.

Tired and unable to walk anymore, there is no point in walking back at this point. We collapsed beside the mountain, heavy pantings came and went, but no one spoke, and the quiet space, shrouded in darkness, like a giant lid, trapped us firmly in the middle.

I looked back at the swarthy forest behind me, and said to myself, isn't this lake the second barrier set up by the ancients? Originally, it was judged that if you were out of the labyrinth, you might see a certain mountain villa or a certain ethnic group, but now there is a green lake that does not know the depths, and it is very likely that those ancients artificially hid their tracks and set up this barrier again, so that even if the foreign enemy came out of the forest, they were trapped by this green lake.
