Chapter 29: Looking Back

In fact, the old prostitute wanted to express the meaning very straightforwardly, we walked for five hours without a fork in the road, just like the circle he drew on the ground, and we walked back to the original resting position. This proves that we have walked exactly one circle, which is why we have come back here. But this also raises the big question, how do we get into this circle without any forks in the road?

Sure enough, the old prostitute was the same as I thought, and he immediately raised the question. The old prostitute said: "Let's not consider the problem of the water flow here, it is our own choice to follow the water flow, not the water flow that chooses us, so the question is not whether this is circulating water, but when did we enter this circle?"

"Could it be the first stone figurine?" That was my first thought, and I think it's very likely that I walked into this circle from the first stone figurine.

"Possibly." The old prostitute nodded, and seemed to think the same way as me. He continued, "Did we go through a fork in the road before the first stone figurines appeared?"

A few people, you look at me, I look at you, no one spoke, obviously everyone can't say anything. After all, before we encountered the first stone figurine, we were in a state of rapid escape, and the rain at that time was very heavy, so we didn't have time to take care of the surrounding situation.

"You didn't see any forks in the valley?" The old prostitute looked at Wang Jingang and asked.

"No" Wang Jingang shook his head and explained: "At that time, our idea was very simple, that is, to follow the flow of water, so I always paid attention to the direction of the flow of water, and did not pay attention to whether there was a fork in the valley."

"Oh my god, let's go again, maybe there is a fork in the road in this circle, it's just that it was too dark last night and we didn't see it clearly."

In contrast, walking is a lot faster when it's not raining. This time it only took us three hours to walk back here, in fact, we could have walked a little faster, but it only took three hours to see the situation on both sides of the mountain.

Seeing our footprints everywhere under the big tree, the faces of several people turned pale, not because we had walked back again, but because we did not see a fork in the road on this road, and the mountain on this road was very different from the place we had seen before. The mountains here are steep, and many of the mountains are full of stones, not even a single tree. It's not a cliff, but it's not an easy task.

"Damn, there's no fork in the road, how did we get in? Could it be that there is still a mountain god in this valley, blocking our way in?" The old prostitute was very puzzled, looked at the valley and scratched her head.

The old prostitute was obviously a complaint, not that he was so suspicious. But his words did inspire me to think of a strange thing that happened in an ancient tomb under the sea.

This strange thing was experienced by me and Tianxiang together, we walked from a small path to the front of the Void Shield Space, when the two of us chatted a few words in the Void Shield Space, the path behind it disappeared and became a thick mountain. And the path was gone, without a trace, without a trace.

I told you about this experience with Tianxiang, and they also thought it was very bizarre. However, the old prostitute said: This kind of bizarre can be artificially created, after all, Tianxiang and I were just walking on a small road at the time, and unlike the valley here, as long as you use exquisite tricks, you can still do it without people noticing.

After listening to what the old prostitute said, I always felt that what he said was wrong. I think the situation in front of me seems to be similar to the situation at the time, except that this is the valley and there is the bottom of the sea. Although Tianxiang and I were walking on the same path at that time, there were also very narrow places here, which were not necessarily trapped people with the same principle.

When I thought that there was also a very narrow place here, my scalp tightened and I felt like I had thought it right. Because I thought of a situation that we encountered in the rain, and this time we just walked, we didn't encounter this situation.

"I know what's wrong." I suddenly stunned everyone with a remark, and I continued, "Have you noticed that we walked through a narrow stretch of land in the rain last night, and the rain was not knee-deep?"

"I know that there is a very narrow section of water that is still very deep, and it was my brother who carried me here at that time." The skinny monkey replied.

"yes, that's it." I nodded, and continued, "We walked there last night, but the circle we just walked was not that narrow."

"Oh my god, it's true." The old prostitute hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Damn, why don't we go again."

"I think we should go to the top of the mountain, where we can see the valley as if we were sitting in a well. Even if there is a mechanism in this valley, it is impossible to show it in the valley, so it is better to go to the top of the mountain first and take a look, and maybe you can find something. Wang Jingang suggested.

"I think what King Kong said is also a way, we have looked carefully enough in the circle we just walked, but we didn't find anything at all." I said.

The old prostitute looked up at the steep mountains on both sides and said, "It's a bit difficult to get to the top of the mountain, so we have to find a relatively easy place to go up."

After the old prostitute finished speaking, she turned around and said to me again: "Xiao Qi, don't go up with the thin monkey first, I will go up with King Kong, if you find a way out, it will not be too late for you to go up again."

I agreed, and then the old prostitute and Wang Jingang began to look for an easy location to go up the mountain. The thin monkey and I were not idle in the valley, and broke off all the dry branches on the big trees, in fact, there were no dry branches at all just after the heavy rain, as long as it was not too wet, we all got it down, and then made a small fire and roasted the soaked clothes.

Two hours have passed, and the old prostitute and Wang Jingang have not returned. When they were leaving, the skinny monkey and I were so focused on drying the branches that we didn't even notice where they had come up. Looking up from the bottom of the valley, there was no sign of them at all, and I shouted up a few times, but they didn't reply.

"Boss, don't shout, if they go up, it will probably be far away." Skinny Monkey said to me.

I thought about it, too, if they went up to the top of the mountain, they wouldn't be able to stay where they were, they would have to walk around. Since there is no news from Lao Concubine and Wang Jingang, then Skinny Monkey and I can only sit here and wait.

At first, I sat by the fire with the skinny monkey and could talk, but as time passed, and I didn't see the old prostitutes come back, the skinny monkey and I became more and more sleepy and tired, and then we fell asleep completely.

I don't know how long I slept, but when I woke up, I realized that I had slept for three or four hours. Of course, it wasn't a natural awakening, but they woke me up by talking.

I rubbed my eyes and saw that the old prostitute and Wang Jingang were sitting by the fire, and the thin monkey was lying on the backpack and talking to them. They didn't notice that I was awake, they were still talking, and I didn't say anything, listening carefully to what they were saying.

When I heard the old prostitute say that we might be trapped on a cliff island, I felt bad and immediately sat up from the ground. It was devastating news, and I couldn't believe my ears.

"What are you talking about, what cliff island?" I asked hurriedly.

"Wake up!" I nodded, and the old lady explained to me what he had just said.

It turned out that he and Wang Jingang had just returned, and they didn't even sit down for ten minutes, and they were chatting with the thin monkey about what they saw on the top of the mountain.
