Follow Ye Jiuqing we entered the Hetu labyrinth, according to the pattern instructions left by the big ghost master, we really didn't trigger the mechanism again, after nightfall we haven't walked out of the labyrinth, Ye Jiuqing is worried that it will be dark and afraid that the wrong way will be wasted, let us rest on the spot for a night.

And specially asked Xue Xinrou to tell the people of the Wu clan, don't walk around and touch anything casually, we sleep on the ground at night, the wind blows from the cracks in the forest, and the leaves rub like a crisp bell.

The forest was filled with the fragrance of trees, which made people feel comfortable and comfortable, and the fatigue during this time seemed to be somewhat soothing, and even the palace lord felt that his head was not as painful as before.

The Wu people seem to be in awe of this forest from beginning to end, and even when they sleep, they send people to take turns to keep watch, which allows us to relax and rest.

I quickly closed my eyes, as if I was very sleepy tonight, and it didn't take long for me to fall into a long sleep, but the strange thing is that I knew it was a dream, but I couldn't wake up, in the dream I could still smell the refreshing fragrance, but gradually the fragrance made me feel nauseous, I felt that my body was shaking violently, and there was a feeling that I was about to suffocate.

I sat up from the ground suddenly, my back was soaked, I gasped for breath, only to find that it was already dawn, but I felt like I had fallen asleep a moment ago, I was exhausted, and my whole body was paralyzed, and the fragrance in the forest became stronger and stronger.

I subconsciously turned around, and was surprised to see the palace lord holding the kettle looking at me with a worried face, wiping a handful of water from his face, and his mind was a little blank: "What's wrong?" ”

"There's a problem here, I've been tossing and turning here all night, but I can't sleep, but you guys are unconscious, and I can't respond to what I call you, so I can only pour water in your face." Gong Jue's face was grim.

I looked around, there was a dead silence in the labyrinth, the others were still sleeping on the ground, I wanted to get up and found that I didn't have the slightest strength in my body, and suddenly I felt that something was wrong, the trees in the maze were towering, the branches and leaves were densely intertwined, only a little sunlight could shine in through the gaps, even in the daytime, the maze was still very dim.

But now this place is very bright, the palace lord pointed to the top of his head to show me, and when he looked up, he was surprised, it was not sunlight at all, and the sky was not bright, these trees were bizarre blooming, and they were also shining with strange white fluorescence, gathering together to illuminate this place as if it were day.

The scent we smell is coming from these flowers, and the palace lord said that this floral fragrance should have an ingredient similar to incense, which can make people fall asleep unconsciously, and he has tried to wake up the others, but nothing has happened.

I pinched myself with my fingers, I didn't feel any pain, I didn't even react at all, this floral fragrance can also make people anesthetic, it is no accident that such strange flowers and plants appear in the Hetu maze, this should also be part of the labyrinth mechanism.

I hurriedly doused Ye Jiuqing and them with water, and asked Xue Xinrou, who was not fully awake yet, to tell the Wu clan to wake up the other people who had fallen into a coma according to our method.

It took a long time for everyone to come to their senses one after another, and they all looked dazed and didn't know what was going on, but fortunately, there was no danger, but I saw what the witch of the Wu clan said to Xue Xinrou.

"The witch who was in charge of the guard is gone." Xue Xinrou was shocked and turned her head to tell us.

"How many people are missing?" Ye Jiuqing asked.

"A dozen." Xue Xinrou replied.

"This place is evil, it is not advisable to stay for a long time or continue to hurry." Ye Jiuqing frowned, lit a torch on the bonfire, tore off the corners of his clothes, poured water and tied it to his face, covering his mouth and nose, and asked everyone to do as he did, so as to resist inhaling as little as possible the fragrance of flowers.

Ye Jiuqing walked in front to lead the way, I looked at Gong Jue and asked curiously, why did everyone fall into a coma because they smelled the fragrance of flowers, but he was fine, Gong Jue shook his head blankly, he didn't know it himself, he only felt that after feeling here, the severe pain in his head was relieved a lot, and Gong Jue also smelled the fragrance of flowers, but unlike us, the more he smelled, the more awake he became, and he couldn't sleep.

Ye Jiuqing suddenly stepped in front of him, and shouted for us to hurry over, and walked to Ye Jiuqing's side, he raised his hand in shock and pointed upwards, the dozen or so missing Wu people were actually hanging from the branches.

Their bodies were entwined with vines, like low-hanging fruits, and no matter how many people below shouted, they did not respond, and the people of the Wu tribe immediately climbed the tree and pulled out their bone knives to save them.

I frowned and looked around, the ground was about ten meters away from the branches, these witches were originally arranged to be guarded, how could they be hung from the tree for no reason?

The Witches who climbed up cautiously groped their way to the branches of the trees, and were about to cut the vines, when I suddenly saw to my horror that behind the Witches, blue snakes were slowly approaching them.

I shouted loudly below, and the witches heard my voice, but they didn't know what I was talking about, and as soon as they hesitated, those cyan snakes stabbed at the witches on the trees with lightning speed, and before they could even make a sound, they instantly lost consciousness and collapsed on the branches.

At this time, we were horrified to find countless of these snakes spreading from the trees, several of which were wrapped around the bodies of the Witches, and their bodies were tightly encircled, and these Witches were hanging from our heads like fruits.

"It's not a snake, it's a tree vine?!" Ye Jiuqing was taken aback after watching it for a long time.

We looked up and looked at it for a long time, and then we realized that the things that attacked the witches were actually vines that could swim like snakes, each the size of a finger, but as if they were alive, and as these witches were hung from the branches, the entire treetops that covered the sky around us began to rustle.

Wow!

The sound of one after another sounded above our heads, and in an instant, countless dried corpses hung down from the dense trees, and I was suddenly shocked in my heart, seeing the clothes left on these dried corpses, which were very similar to the Wu clan around them, they must be from Lingshan.

It can be seen that there were many Lingshan people who strayed into the river map labyrinth, and they eventually became this dried corpse entangled by strange trees and vines.

No wonder I heard the sound of bells as the wind blew through the labyrinth, which had been pleasant before, but now it was utterly creepy, and it was supposed to be the sound of these dried corpses hitting each other.

"Watch your surroundings!" The field chicken reminded us loudly.

We hurriedly looked around, everywhere like snakes dexterous vines, is spreading to us from all directions, the witch people are at a loss, wooden stunned in place, soon we heard a panicked cry, the speed of the vine attack is very fast, between the lightning and flint like a poisonous snake attack, once stabbed by these vines will instantly lose consciousness, and the vines will be firmly entangled in the body of the attacked, quickly hanging to the top of the tree.

We pulled out the machetes one after another, and a witch beside us was attacked, and her body was just about to be hoisted, but Tian Jiyan was fast, and she jumped up with a knife, and steadily cut the tangled tree vines, and the fallen tree vines were still writhing on the ground, and shocking blood flowed from the tree vines.

"These are man-eating vines that secrete paralyzing venom and suck the blood of their prey." Xue Xinrou said.

Ye Jiuqing shouted to everyone to gather together, so that they could take care of and protect each other, and I gradually discovered that these tree vines were not attacking us at random, they would never come into contact with places with fire, they were all hidden in the shadows, once someone's shadow was connected to the shadow, the tree vines would immediately attack.

"They're photophobic!" The palace lord reacted and hurriedly asked everyone to light the torches.

"Don't stay here, get into the maze immediately." Ye Jiuqing urged loudly.

But there are so many of us, it is impossible to walk together, and the only path that can take us out of the labyrinth is the only way that can take us out of the labyrinth, which means that even if we all light the torches, these fires will always make our bodies appear shadows.

There have already been several people of the Wu Clan who have been a little careless, and with the swaying of the firelight, once the shadow is connected to the shadow of the tree, it will be attacked by the tree vine in an instant.

"We came in during the day, and these vines haven't appeared yet, and it looks like these man-eating vines will only attack the prey that appears in the maze at night." Tian Ji said.

"There are man-eating vines on all sides, and we don't hold out until dawn." Gong Jue said.

"But it is impossible to hold a torch without a shadow, and it is equally useless to keep going." I was anxious.

"No, we must have overlooked something." Ye Jiuqing muttered to himself while looking around vigilantly. "Since the Great Ghost Lord has left a way back to Lingshan, he should be aware of the dangers lurking in this river map labyrinth, he can't let his people put their people in danger, since he can come and go freely, there must be a way to pass here."

"But, there are no other hints in the pattern left by the big ghost master." Tian Ji said.

"Nope." Xue Xinrou was stunned. "There is another sentence that we don't know the meaning of."

"Live in your own shadow!" I also remembered that from the different sizes of the dots on the pattern, we deciphered two sentences, the first sentence took us to the entrance to return to Lingshan Moon Bay, but the second sentence, we never understood what it meant.

"It's hard to say, what this means is that you are only safe in your own shadow." Gong Jue said.

Thinking of this, my eyes fell on my own shadow, according to the words left by the big ghost master, I took a step forward, trying to stand in my shadow, but I moved, the shadow also moved, and Tian Ji also tried different directions, but no matter what I did, I couldn't coincide with my own shadow.

Xue Xinrou suddenly held Tian Ji's hand, Tian Ji's face suddenly turned red when he was stunned, at this juncture, he could still have such a reaction, I couldn't cry or laugh, Xue Xinrou looked calm, holding the torch in Tian Ji's hand and slowly raising it.

When the pheasant's hand was erected, we were pleasantly surprised to find that under the light of the fire held high above his head, the shadow of the pheasant shrunk into a ball, impartially just at his feet.

"Living in my own shadow......" suddenly dawned on me. The Great Ghost Lord is telling the people that if they pass through the river map maze correctly, the shadows of such movements will never be connected to the shadows of the trees, and those vines will not be able to attack. ”

Xue Xinrou hurriedly told the people of the Wu clan about this method, and we dispersed, one by one cautiously moving forward, although the speed of progress was very slow, but those trees and vines only surrounded us in the darkness that the light could not reach, and there was no sudden attack.

I don't know how long I walked, I only felt that my back was full of cold sweat, and every step was like walking on thin ice, but gradually I found that the leaves above my head began to thin, and the front slowly became empty.

As far as the eye can see, only by standing here can we clearly see the enormity of this labyrinth, a huge circle of trees that envelops the place where we stand, a land where no one has set foot in it.

The spotless fresh air and the snow-capped mountains and lakes combine into a wonderful, fantastical, and beautiful scenery, the lake water is clear and transparent, and the reflection of the lake surface is blended with the moon and the sky, and the surrounding mist envelops it all, as if you are in a fairyland.
