Chapter 5 Pathfinding

It was noon, and the sun was scorching.

Wang Zhao looked at the endless mountains and dense forests in front of him, and then looked at the mountain springs, ancient cypresses, and ravines dozens of meters deep under his feet, sighed, and said, "I'm afraid we have crossed." ”

"I think so. I just don't know what the environment around us is, what kind of world this is. Lilac sat on a stone bench under a big tree, a little depressed.

Wang Zhao looked at Lilac, who was still relatively calm, nodded approvingly, and said, "I can't see anything yet, but I guess it may be ancient." ”

"Why?"

"I've also read a lot of time-traveling novels, which is generally if you travel to the magical world, most of them appear in the Warcraft Forest at first, and then meet a demon wolf or something, and then you will meet a team of adventurers, and finally follow the adventurers out of the forest and into human society. Now you see that we are obviously in the mountains, that is, we are not in the Warcraft Forest, and we have not encountered Warcraft, so it is unlikely that we are in the other world. ”

"Isn't the setting of crossing into the Warcraft Forest outdated a long time ago, isn't it all about directly traveling to a human town or something like that, and maybe there are a lot of Warcraft hidden in the dense forest under our feet."

"This. There is also this possibility. But if you look at the woods in front of us, they are obviously all species of our country, and the environment is kept so primitive, the biggest possibility is that it is still in ancient times, but I don't know what era it is, whether it is a prosperous era or a troubled era. Most importantly, I don't know if it's possible for us to go back. ”

As soon as she heard this, Lilac became excited, her voice was slightly louder, and she said, "Don't I still have to ask you if I can go back!" Didn't we come to this hellish place because of the broken gourd in your hand? Let's see if there's any chance that gourd will take us back. ”

"This, I tried it just now, and I don't have the energy."

"What is out of energy. What the hell is going on? ”

"Actually, this gourd recognizes me as the Lord."

"What? What the hell is going on? ”

"I mean, this gourd has recognized me as Lord."

"That's why I said what the hell is going on, and when did I recognize you as Lord?"

"Actually, just after the two of us entered the independent space of the gourd, I established an indescribable and inexplicable connection with the entire gourd, and then I could control the gourd.

"So what's the use of this gourd? What are the features? ”

"I don't know what their functions are now, but now we only know that it can become a space of its own and can collect people, and I estimate that it should even be able to store materials. There is also a function that travels through time and space or through other worlds. However, now the gourd's energy is depleted and it cannot be used for the time being. ”

"And when do you think you'll be able to use it again?"

"I don't know."

The two were silent.

In fact, what happened is this: just now, the two were still in Wang Shuwen's villa, but because Wang Zhao read a few words on the gourd, the gourd sucked the two into the gourd, and after the two entered the gourd, they found that the place where they were located was a circular space, the size of the space was hundreds of square meters, one end of the space was the mouth of the gourd they came into, and the other end was a more extensive space, nearly 200 square meters, two spaces one big, It just forms the shape of a gourd. Wang Zhao was in this gourd space and felt the slightest connection with the gourd space, and then he just wanted to let the gourd let them out, but he was spit out by the gourd.

However, although the two came out, they found that the environment they were in had changed, and it was no longer Wang Shuwen's bedroom.

"Where is this?"

Looking around, the two of them were in a cave, and the stone tables, stone benches, and stone beds in the cave were extremely poorly furnished, and there was dust everywhere, and it could be seen that no one had taken care of them for a long time.

"It's dirty!" Lilac is still wearing slippers and walking in the cave, one step at a time.

Wang Zhao looked around, and unexpectedly found a rusty iron box in the corner of the wall, the two leaned over to take a look, the iron box was not locked, when they opened it, they unexpectedly found that there were some fragments of scattered silver, a lot of large gold ingots, and some jade pendants, jade pendants, seals and the like.

"A lot of gold, eh, this jade pendant is very good, at least worth tens of thousands of yuan."

"If we can't go back, what's the use of any more money, where are we?"

The two glanced at it, and then closed the box, and saw that this cave was actually not big, only seven or eight meters deep, the two looked at each other and walked out of the cave together.

The cave sits in the north and faces south, and when you come out of the cave, you are greeted by the bright sunshine. In front of the cave door is a flat land, the regular very flat ground is covered with green grass, and there are more than a dozen large trees scattered around, this flat land is the size of an acre, forming a natural square. Behind him is a small peak, the cave is dug out in the middle of this peak, the whole hill is not wide but very high, a clear spring at the top of the peak, with the mountain rocks sprinkled down, formed a small waterfall, under the waterfall is a small pool, the edge of the pool leads out a small stream, in the square circle, a branch turns to the back of the mountain.

The two wandered around the lawn-lined square and found three paths out of the square.

Now the two of them are standing at the edge of the square, with a deep valley in front of them, and beside them are waterfalls and pine trees, clear streams and springs, wild flowers and green grass, and the scenery is breathtaking.

Wang Zhao first told Lilac about the fact that he had established some kind of connection with the gourd, and also said that the baby gourd consumed too much energy and could not be used for the time being, as for when the gourd could be used again, it was not something that Wang Zhao could answer.

That is, the two do not know when they will return to the modern world.

Maybe never going back.

Wang Zhao and Lilac both had this thought in their hearts, and they were relatively speechless for a while. In the end, Wang Zhao suggested: "Let's get acquainted with the surrounding environment first, if we really can't go back, we must first find a place where there are people, and we can't live in the wilderness." Although the environment here is beautiful, there is no food, and you will starve to death sooner or later. ”

Lilac nodded and stood up.

Wang Zhao first tied the treasure gourd in his hand around his waist, which could not be missed. Although this gourd is the culprit that caused them to cross, the hope of returning is all counting on it. Then the two of them walked down the trail in front of them.

The path leading to the bottom of the mountain is tortuous and difficult to walk, there are chaotic stones and clear springs on the side of the road, the road surface is covered with moss, dead leaves, the road is wide and narrow, the narrowest place only allows one person to pass, the cliffs on both sides are towering, sometimes the head can only see a line of blue sky, the terrain is very dangerous, it is really a man when the pass, ten thousand people can not open.

The two walked very hard, and Lilac said as she walked: "It seems that there are no people coming and going here, otherwise the road would not be so difficult." Look at the gravel under your feet, as long as you clean it up and smooth it a little, the road won't be so difficult. ”

Wang Zhao sighed: "I don't know if there are people in this vicinity, if we go out of the mountain and can't find a place where humans gather, then we will be miserable." ”

Lilac was speechless, and after a while, he forced a smile and said, "Don't say it, let's go." ”

After walking for more than ten minutes, the two came to the foot of the mountain, but they were blocked by a stone wall, the two searched in front of the stone wall for a long time, and did not find a way out, and saw that there was indeed no road in front, so they had to reluctantly follow the original road and return to the square in front of the cave.

After a short rest, Wang Zhao saw that it was still early, and said, "Let's try another way." ”

Lilac had no objection, and the two set off again. This time the road is much easier than the road down the mountain just now, but it leads to the back of the mountain. After walking for more than ten minutes, a valley plain sandwiched between two cliffs appeared in front of the two of them.
