86. Maze game

No wonder several people sat still in place, it turned out that their legs were bitten by vicious dogs, and the bloody and miserable situation may have been bitten off the flesh. Even if Liu Yue is relatively better, her face is pale, and she has no excuse for me to come over to help her.

She walked with great difficulty, and with every step she took, her face seemed to be in sharp pain, and she didn't go far, but ten meters away, she found a clean open space and asked her to sit down. I turned back to help Zhou Tong, Zhou Tong may have been protected by two people because of a foot injury, so except for a bite on his arm, the rest of the place is fine. He only sighed and said: "Little sister, it's good that you and Brother Yao are back, otherwise you ......" The latter words he shrank in his mouth, and my heart sank, if we didn't come back, would they be bitten to death by those vicious dogs?

When he put down Zhou Tong and wanted to go back to help Liuzi, Sheng Shiyao had already carried him on his back, and it was obvious that Liuzi was the most seriously injured, and basically all the resistance was him. By the time Sheng Shiyao put him down, I found that he was already confused, his eyes were half-closed, and his face was covered in blood.

I never expected that after just more than two hours of separation, the three of them would become so miserable. I can't help but be glad that I followed Sheng Shiyao, otherwise I might have been like them. Sheng Shiyao patted me and told me to find the bag they left nearby, especially the one Liu Yue, who explained softly that she had first-aid medicine in her bag.

I hurriedly turned back to look for the five of them, and I was still unharmed, and soon found a few backpack-shaped objects in the weeds, but had to walk past the corpse of the vicious dog over there. The two men were still wrestling with their dogs, but they were apparently weakened by the bite, and I was terrified as I passed by. When I got the bag and turned around, I met the tall man's gaze, and his eyes were pleading, as if he wanted me to save them. But the vicious dog has gone mad, and even its owner bites, let alone me.

Hardened his heart and twisted his face away, and strode away. Suddenly I heard a roar behind me, and I instinctively looked back, and saw that the two men had grabbed a stone out of nowhere, and went to smash the dog's head desperately, and for a moment the screams of the people were mixed with the screams of the dogs. It was a bloody slaughter! I couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so I quickly ran back to them, and I didn't tell which one was Liu Yue's bag, so I carried a few backpacks on my back and brought them all back.

After that, Liu Yue injected serum into several people, and injected antibiotics into Liuzi, and I was responsible for disinfecting and bandaging their wounds. Xindao is fortunate that Liu Yue has brought all the medicine, otherwise I don't know how long it will take to get out, it is difficult to protect the wound from infection and inflammation in such a harsh environment, looking at the fierce appearance of the mad dog, it is not allowed to have rabies.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at that place, but I couldn't help but be stunned, the fight had stopped at some point, and the people and the Tibetan mastiff were lying on the ground, not knowing life and death, obviously losing both. The smell of blood was in the air, and it was the first time I'd ever experienced it in my life, and I can imagine the impact it had on me.

Zhou Tong beside him was asking, "Brother Yao, what should you do next?" ”

Our eyes are all fixed on Sheng Shiyao, indeed this problem is the most critical at the moment, five people are equivalent to three people are incapacitated, Liu Yue may still be able to walk, but Zhou Tong's foot is pierced by a nail, and he must be supported by someone, and the sixth son needs someone to carry it. In the end, Sheng Shiyao groaned and decided to find a hidden place to hide for the time being, this location is too big and can be easily found.

Several people's backpacks are still carried by me, Liu Yue and Zhou Tong support each other, and the six sons are carried by Sheng Shiyao, and several people choose the direction and start to move forward. I looked back at the other side, and I didn't relent, and I didn't suggest saving those two people, at this time, I couldn't protect myself, where could I take care of others. Therefore, people are often forced by the environment to go in a direction that you never thought about, and when you look back, you find that you have already changed.

What we can do is to try to stay away from that direction, if we still have enough energy. After walking for nearly two hours in a row, there were two pops behind him, and when I looked back, I didn't know if Liu Yue or Zhou Tong had no strength in their feet, and both of them fell to the ground. I hurriedly ran back, but I hung two bags on the front and back, and two on both shoulders, and I didn't have any extra hands to help them, so I could only ask, "How are you?" ”

Sheng Shiyao, who was walking in the forefront, also stopped, looked at their faces and said, "Forget it, just rest in place." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief, quickly put my bag on the ground, took out the water, and handed it to them to drink. I also took a sip of it, and after quenching my thirst, I asked Sheng Shiyao: "Why haven't we reached the end of our journey for so long?" How deep is this jungle? "We started walking in the middle of the night, and we walked relatively fast when we were still physically active, and even if we walked slower later, it was almost more than ten kilometers.

Sheng Shiyao did not sit down to rest after putting the six sons on the ground, but looked around, and I thought he was looking for a hidden place to rest for us. After a while he came back and said, "This forest is evil. ”

Evil? Where does this begin? I saw him point to the direction in which we were moving forward and said, "Look closely, how is this position different from other directions?" I followed his instructions to look left and right, then to the other side, and then came to the conclusion, "There are fewer trees over there, and the other two sides are very dense." ”

"Yes, that's the reason, when we walk, it is natural for us to choose to take the relatively easy path and not to get into the dense bushes. But it is precisely this mentality that leads us to follow a route that has been set up, and we can even say that we are actually going around in a circle. ”

Sheng Shiyao's judgment really shocked us, and I intuitively denied it: "Impossible, the road we walked was not repeated, and there were no traces of being walked along the road." But he said, "Have you ever played the game of labyrinths?" "Now I don't squeak, and the maze diagram immediately appears in my mind, and the zigzag roads are all over the map, each one is different, and the ring is around, even if it is around the outermost part, it is possible to go back to the middle because the road is not passable.

Trembling in disbelief, he said, "You mean that this forest has been manipulated, and someone wants us to die in this place?" Is it Wong Tai Sin? Sheng Shiyao shook his head: "It's not necessarily him, the trees here have grown for an unknown number of years, and there are no traces of cutting, they are all naturally grown, that is to say, this formation was arranged when these trees were planted, so it is unlikely to be Wong Tai Sin." ”

This answer is a bit surprising, if it wasn't for the formation that Huang Tai Sin fiddled with, could it be traced back to the origin period of Jiuzhaigou? Is that far away, which means that we were trapped in the forest by the ancients? But why did the reforesters do this? Such a curved formation is not something that ordinary people can do. It must be that he knows the art of Qimen Dunjia.

Sheng Shiyao said that under normal circumstances, there is only one possibility, that is, the forester wants to protect the back of the forest through this forest, which is equivalent to a natural barrier. In ancient times, some mountain owners often did this, or people of a certain ethnic group fled to the back of the forest, fearing that foreign tribes would chase and kill them, and used this formation to hide their traces.

When he said this, I immediately thought of the stone tablets engraved with Khitan inscriptions that we found by the lake before, as well as the Shadow Moon Knife in my arms, and I couldn't help but wonder if it could be that the Khitan people fled here, and they were afraid that the Jurchens would be wiped out, and then they built this forest? So if we go out of the forest, will it be possible to see the descendants of the Khitan people or the traces left behind?

It's incredible, but it's too early to think about it, and how do we get out of this jungle maze is the main question right now. The terrible thing about the labyrinth is that it has only one right way, and the rest is all about detouring, and if we can't find the right way, we will go around this forest until we run out of ammunition and food, and eventually we will be trapped to death.

Suddenly, I saw Sheng Shiyao feel something out of his pocket, I took a closer look, it was a compass, and I immediately cheered up. Yes, we have a compass, and he knows the feng shui compass, so he can definitely determine the direction. But his face became more and more gloomy, and I looked closer, and found that the hand of the compass had deviated from its original position and pointed to three o'clock. Broken? But when he took two steps, the pointer moved slightly, but it was only a little bit away from three o'clock, as if there was a huge magnetic field in that position, which had sucked the pointer.

"You stay where you are, I'll take a look around." Sheng Shiyao gave the order and walked straight in the direction of three o'clock, and he came back in about five minutes, his face was very heavy, and he knew that it was not good news at a glance. Sure enough, he said that somewhere in this forest, there may be a huge ferromagnet buried, which changed the surrounding magnetic field, in order to prevent people from discerning the direction in the forest. Because the compass was mostly used for warfare and navigation in ancient times, and feng shui was also widely used, the foresters also thought of this when they set up the formation.

It can be said that the people who set up this array are very cautious. Now we are in a desperate situation, and seeing that it is going to get dark, this kind of place will only be more dangerous at night, and snakes and insects are frequent. Originally, most snakes and insects were afraid of fire, and as long as they lit fire, they could repel insects and avoid snakes, but Wong Tai Sin's people were probably still searching for us, and the fire would attract people, and with our current strength, we couldn't fight them at all.

So before dark, Sheng Shiyao made a decision to cut some branches nearby and build a temporary wooden shed on two trees close together, and we all hid in the tree at night. Thanks to the fact that I had a Shadow Moon Knife in my hand, I had no trouble cutting up the branches, and soon a simple wooden shed was erected, which was not large, just enough for the five of us.
