I was shocked by Xiao Rong's serious expression, and it was the first time I saw his unsmiling face. I'm busy saying I'm sorry, I'm not good, I'm reviewing; I'm not right, I'm guilty; It's my fault, I amended, please forgive me......

Xiao Rong sighed, said nothing, and continued to walk forward.

I felt a little embarrassed, so I walked around looking for topics. I asked him if he had been here before.

He said no.

I said, why does it feel like you're familiar with this place?

He said that he had heard people talk about it before, and before leaving, he had made a lot of preparations, and he had also practiced in some harsh environments. Then he said that he couldn't explain too much to me, and that it was important to hurry now, that the road was very difficult to walk, and that he had to watch his steps carefully.

I let out an "oh" and didn't say anything more, focusing all on my feet. I think Xiao Rong should have something to hide. He said, "Heard about it"?

Then "that person" must have been here and then went back without a hitch. Who could it be? Didn't the man say that only the blood of the Jing family could open the "door"? Could it be that apart from the Jing family, there are other people who have been in and out of here? Or is Xiao Rong lying casually?

…… I can't guess.

I walked like this, and it was almost dawn until I finished the section of the road full of deep holes. The air is slowly getting fresher, and although it is still dark in the shade of the trees, the view has gradually widened.

After walking for so long, I was already very tired, so Xiao Rong found a relatively safe eaves, sat with me, and then took food and water from his backpack and gave it to me.

"Take a break after eating, the road after that may be more difficult." Xiao Rong said. How did I feel like he was giving me a "vaccination".

I didn't speak, I finished a box of canned food and rehydrated. I raised my eyes and saw a large piece of andrographis growing on the wall, this thing is very anti-inflammatory, my old man used to eat this cold salad, I thought to myself that I was hurt like this, it is better to eat than not to eat, so I picked some of it, stuffed it into my mouth and chewed it.

After eating, my mouth was bitter to death, I drank some more water, and then decided to listen to Xiao Rong's words and hurry to sleep.

Lying on the hard and cold floor, I don't know if I was too tired, I struggled for a long time, and I couldn't sleep. His eyelids were jumping, and the trigeminal nerve was also throbbing, so he simply opened his eyes and saw that Xiao Rong was sitting on a big rock not far away to rest.

I rubbed my sour eyes, intending to change positions and go back to sleep, when I suddenly felt that something was wrong with the scene in front of me.

What's going on? Am I dazzled or what? How did Xiao Rong's body in the distance slowly become transparent? I closed my eyes and opened them again, only to see his body becoming more and more transparent, and finally disappearing completely from the big rock.

I was stunned, the shouts had just come out of my throat, only to find that the scene in front of me was distorted? It felt like getting drunk and everything started shaking.

My eyes gradually became clear, and I was so frightened that I hurriedly reached out and fumbled for the canned food box I had eaten on the floor not far away, and my hand was pricked by the edge of the can. I hurriedly raised my hand and shook my head vigorously to keep myself awake.

What's going on, what's going on? Am I poisoned? Am I going blind? Am I bleeding too much? Am I sleep deprived? I'm dying? …… Countless question marks passed through my mind, and it was at this moment that the vision slowly became clear, and everything returned to normal.

I was sweating profusely, and I thought to myself, could it be that I was overtired and had low blood pressure? Then he looked at Xiao Rong, only to see that he had disappeared on the spot! I was about to shout, when suddenly a black shadow stood in front of me, and when I looked up, it was him.

"Brother Yang, what's wrong with you? What did you just shout? Xiao Rong asked.

I said you wait a while, let me be quiet first, don't ask me why, don't ask me who Jing Jing is.

After half a cigarette, I calmed down completely. I looked at Xiao Rong, recalled what had just happened, and after making sure that I was not hallucinating, I exhaled a long breath, and then told him everything that had just happened.

"You mean, I just disappeared out of nowhere?" Xiao Rong was taken aback when he heard this.

I said, your brother and I have a bad heart, just say what you have, don't hack me, if you are a monster, if you want to eat me, I will admit it, and scare people's hearts and livers to the point of plopping, this is not good.

Xiao Rong didn't speak, and thought for a long time before he slowly said: "This is not normal, something is making trouble!" ”

"What is it?"

"I don't know, but there must be something wrong with this place," without waiting for me to speak, Xiao Rong continued, "Brother Yang, have you ever thought about what happened to the 16 members of the Jing family when they entered the door?" ”

I said what else could I encounter, big-eyed boys, big lizards, flying snakes.

Xiao Rong shook his head, "Actually, of course, the Jing family sent 16 people, among which there are many masters, even if they are killed, they will not be completely destroyed." I've been guessing that they must have encountered some irreversible catastrophe! That's not what snakes and lizards can do. ”

Xiao Rong actually knows about my family? I was a little surprised, and although he seemed to be right, there was still a problem. I said: But you see, Uncle Meng's men are all masters and well-equipped, but they haven't been tricked yet?

Xiao Rong shook his head. I don't know what he meant by shaking his head - did he mean that he didn't know why Uncle Meng would be tricked, or did he not think that Uncle Meng's people were masters?

"Forget it, let's not sleep, let's keep walking." I said, I had slept yesterday afternoon, and after what had just happened, I couldn't sleep even more now, so instead of wasting time here, I would better keep on my way, settle the matter early, and go back early.

"Well, that's fine." Xiao Rong nodded. Packing our bags, we continued on our way.

It was already dawn, and Xuanyuan City appeared clearly in front of my eyes. The sunlight shines through the fine gaps between the branches and sprinkles on the ground, like patches of gold scattered on the ground. The occasional smell of mold wafted through the air, and there was a lot of slippery moss under your feet, and in some places there were thick fallen leaves, so it was not easy to walk. Perhaps to take care of my injuries, Xiao Rong walked a little slower than before.

I don't know how big this Xuanyuan City is, but I feel as if it will never end, and we will still be circling around the city until dusk.

Along the way, I could barely speak a few words to Xiao Rong. He walked in front and cut off the intertwined roots that stood in the way with **. After passing by a few places that resemble drinking fountains, we took a break.

The area of the pond was about the size of a basketball court, and the ancient Xuanyuan people should have relied on these pools to draw water. The water in the pool is alive, and it flows quietly without knowing where it leads. In the middle of the pond are several stone pillars, each carved with dragon patterns, and the stone pillars support the square stone top, which is used to keep rain and fallen leaves from polluting the pond water. When I looked closely, I was surprised to see that there were fish in the pond.

I saw that the fish was not big, but the whole body was gray and black, and it was not visible in the water, but when I fished it out, I found that the small face of this fish looked like a human, and there were limbs and fingers on the abdomen. I asked Xiao Rong for a container, and he gave me a folding kettle, and I caught two fish, put them in the kettle, and raised them.

Xiao Rong said that this fish could not be brought back alive, and I didn't care about him.

Filling the kettle with water, we continued on our way, and it didn't take long for us to see the imperial city of Xuanyuan. Xiao Rong said that I must not go to that place now, so I just took a few looks from afar. I saw the tall palace rising from the ground, surrounded by purple smoke, and thousands of palace pavilions were like heavenly ......

It turned out that everything was obscured by clouds and mist, so I couldn't see the location of the imperial city before. For a long time, I only thought that Xuanyuan City was just a city made of stone, except for the big one, there was nothing to see, and at this moment, looking at this building across the vast sea of clouds, I was immediately shocked!

I want to take a picture with my phone and post it on Moments immediately...... It's awesome! My tears of excitement were about to come out. However, I had nothing but a few little gray fish on hand.

Bypassing the imperial city, Xiao Rong quickly ran towards the west side of the city. I calmed down and hurried to catch up with him. I passed through a place that looked like a primeval forest - I guess it used to be a square, but now it is completely covered with vegetation and looks like a forest. A deep trench appeared in front of him.

"Shall we cross this trench?"

I stood on the edge of the cliff and looked around, and saw that the trench was about forty or fifty meters wide, covered with vegetation, and the fog was so deep that it could not be seen. With the wind, a strange smell came up from the bottom of the ditch, like the fishy smell of animal fat.

Across the trench was a rope bridge, made of arm-thick rope with planks on it. The planks were rotten and dilapidated, and some of them were all left with ropes.

"Is this passable?" I looked at this scene and was terrified.

"I don't know."

It was the first time that Xiao Rong had answered so unsure, which undoubtedly made it worse for my hesitant mood. I walked in front and put my foot on the rope bridge and tried it, and it shook so badly that the planks were soft and collapsed, like water-soaked biscuits, as if they were going to rot into slag when I stepped on them.

I retracted my feet. I said so, or let's find another way, anyway, if we come, we will be safe, but if we fall, we will die, let's not joke with our own lives.

Xiao Rong didn't speak, staring at the rope bridge in a daze, as if making a final decision.

At that moment, I distinctly heard the sound of a soot from the bushes behind me. I looked back, and the voice was gone. At the same time, I saw dozens of red lights flickering in the dark forest in the distance, slowly surrounding the road.

This red light is all too familiar to me, it's the damn rats outside the city! Could it be that they have been chasing us all the way from outside the city? And this amount is several times more than what I have encountered before!

"Let's go!" Xiao Rong shouted.

I couldn't care so much about it, so I jumped on the rope bridge with his feet up with him. When the rats saw this, they immediately surrounded them from all sides. Looking at the road ahead, I always feel that something has to happen this time......

Something big happens......
