Chapter 109: The Strange Woods
Wei Yi quickly looked around. He listened intently.
There was no particularly noticeable sound other than the faint swaying of the leaves. The water of the lake gently lapped against the shore of the lake at Wei Yi's feet, making one small, softer sound after another.
In the air, there was a viscous sense of oppression, constantly squeezing Wei Yi's heart. He breathed slowly, soothing the uneasiness in his heart.
"Maybe I misheard." Wei Yi seems to be talking to himself, and he seems to be enlightening himself. He looked at the quiet woods in the distance, thought for a moment, and walked towards it.
In the distance, the woods are always very quiet. The leaves swaying slightly seem to be making an extremely pleasant sound. They seem to be extremely happy with the place they live in. Before Wei Yi approached there, he felt the happiness that filled the trees.
It's a very strange feeling. Wei Yi couldn't tell how he realized it. He only felt that there seemed to be many cheerful voices in the air, constantly telling him the joy in their hearts.
Wei Yi shook his head, shaking off this absurd feeling. He laughed at himself. gave a total denial to the strange feeling he had just had.
He wondered how plants could have the same joys, sorrows, and sorrows as humans. Not to mention, there will be a language between plants that can convey feelings and thoughts. This is simply a bizarre and absurd idea.
"It seems that I really haven't rested well. It's all cranky. When you get out, you have to find time to take a good rest. Otherwise, you'd be really nervous. Wei Yi said self-deprecatingly.
He looked up at the woods. Seeing that there was no insecurity, he stepped in.
But as soon as Wei Yi walked into the woods, he suddenly felt a sense of unease in his heart for no reason. His instincts once again warned him.
Wei Yi was stunned. He hurriedly stayed where he was, looking sideways to take a closer look at the situation around him.
It's quiet. There is no sound of any living thing moving. But the silence here seemed to be a little different from what Wei Yi felt just now. But what the difference is, Wei Yi can't say.
He just had a vague feeling as if someone had been secretly staring at him. This feeling has been there since he entered the woods.
But Wei Yi carefully looked at every corner around him. No matter how much he investigated, he couldn't find out who the person who was secretly observing him was.
"Could it be that I'm too sensitive?" Wei Yi muttered to himself with some confusion.
He stayed there for a while. Everything was the same as before, and there was nothing abnormal. Seeing that everything was the same as before, and nothing special had happened, he continued to walk into the depths of the woods.
As he walked, Wei Yi casually inspected the various trees that grew here. Although he was not a botanist and did not know many species of trees, he knew a little about the species of trees that were once found all over the world.
But suddenly he realized that none of the trees here were unknown to him. The leaves of these trees have five edges and corners. On each leaf, there is a very clear vein. The veins were unusually thick, like blood vessels growing on a person's body, and they were all over every leaf.
However, the skin of these trees is different. Some are rough, some are delicate, some are shiny, and some are dull and gray. What made Wei Yi even more strange was that among these trees, there were one or two strange dwarf trees with slightly reddened skin from time to time.
The dwarf, reddish trees all have curved branches. Their strange branches, which curved like winding roads, each had dense triangular leaves that looked like sharp blades. The pointed ends of the leaves are all facing outward.
Wei Yu counted roughly. He found that on the body of each dwarf tree, there were no less than hundreds of thousands of leaves. He looked at the strange triangular leaves, and suddenly thought strangely what it would be like if they all shot at him.
Wei Yi just thought about it casually, and was taken aback by his own ridiculous idea. He was not only frightened by the imaginary scene, but also puzzled by the strange ideas that came to him from time to time.
Wei Yi felt as if he had had some strange thoughts from time to time since he came ashore. And that's not how he usually is. Even if he occasionally has any strange thoughts or ideas, they will always be more reasonable thoughts or ideas.
But he found that there was something wrong with his current state. Today's self really has too many weird and bizarre ideas. What struck him even more was that these ideas had come about uncontrollably and spontaneously. It's as if they've always existed, but today just happened to give them the opportunity to appear.
Wei Yi shook his head again. He struggled to keep his brain awake. He tried not to have those strange thoughts or ideas.
"Maybe it's just not a good rest. Alas, let's talk about it when we get out. Hold on for a while, and when my uncle comes, I'll lie down and squint for a while. Wei Yi secretly encouraged himself.
He glanced up into the distance. Through this dense forest, Wei Yi vaguely seemed to see the exit of this cave. He estimated the distance and thought it wouldn't be too far.
"Hold on a little longer, and the exit should be not far ahead. I had to hold on. He encouraged himself and tried to keep his mind calm.
The trees on both sides became more and more numerous as Wei Yi went deeper and deeper into the dense forest. Sometimes, in order to be able to walk normally, Wei Yi had to use his hands to remove the branches that blocked his way.
Speaking of which, those branches are also a little strange. Wei Yi was obviously walking a little far away from them, but they were just going to grow on the road in front of Wei Yi. Wei Yi saw that many branches were even growing straight from those trees.
"What a strange place." Wei Yi muttered as he tossed away the branches with his hands.
"Click".
Wei Yi inadvertently broke a branch that was blocking his way. This crisp sound instantly spread throughout the forest. Wei Yi was startled by this sudden voice. In such a quiet place, there was such a crisp sound suddenly, which seemed very abrupt.
But when Wei Yi saw it clearly, it was just a broken branch, so he didn't care much. He took a step and walked on.
But he hadn't taken a few steps before he suddenly smelled a very sweet fragrance. It's a fragrance that no other perfume can simulate.
Wei Yi only smelled it for a moment, and was immediately attracted by this aroma. He felt as if his fatigue was rapidly fading as he smelled the aroma. He hurriedly raised his head and sniffed, following the aroma coming from the air, and quickly searched for the source of the aroma.
He followed the smell for a few steps, only to find that it came from the branch he had just broken. Wei Yu hurriedly bent down and picked up the broken branch on the ground.
He brought the broken branch close to his nose and sniffed it gently. A fragrant fragrance penetrated Wei Yi's heart, instantly making every hair on Wei Yi's body tremble. Wei Yi only felt that the fatigue in his body seemed to disappear without a trace in an instant.
He took a closer look at the broken branch. The source of this aroma was discovered, and it was on its cross-section. Where it was broken, there was a layer of clear liquid, slowly solidifying on it.
Wei Yi tried to touch the transparent thing that was gradually turning solid with his hand. The tentacles are extremely soft and elastic. Wei Yi was curious to get it off the section.
But when he tried to pull it off, he suddenly found that many similar liquids were rapidly gushing out of the fracture. Wei Yi didn't even have time to react before the liquid quickly flowed onto his hands.
Wei Yi looked at the liquid with some pity. Just as he didn't know whether to wipe the liquid off his hand, the liquid slowly slid down Wei Wei's hand and fell to the ground.
As soon as they hit the ground, they quickly condensed into a solid, transparent object. Wei Yi was overjoyed and hurriedly bent down to pick them all up.
He didn't know what these things were, though. But from his rapidly fading fatigue, he faintly sensed that this thing might be some kind of special medicine to eliminate fatigue.
"It's good stuff, I've got to keep it safe." Wei Yi said, and put the solid transparent material and the broken branch in his hand into his pocket.
At this time, Wei Yi only felt that his mind was extremely clear. He felt that his state at this time could be described as "surprisingly good". He muttered happily, "This is really a stroke of luck." I didn't expect to come across such a good thing. ”
Wei Yi looked at the trees around him. At this time, he also had the idea of breaking more branches. After all, that miracle drug is very effective for eliminating fatigue. But when he saw the trees growing so luxuriantly, and felt the quiet and peaceful breath in the air, he couldn't help but dismiss this thought.
It's not easy to be alive. Even trees should be left to their own destiny, not slaughtered. Thinking like this, Wei Yi completely dispelled the thought just now. He glanced at the trees beside him, took a step, and continued into the distance.
He now has only one task, and that is to find the exit as soon as possible. No matter how miraculous those drugs are, they are useless if they can't help him find an exit. Besides, a little bit is enough for him, so why be greedy for more?
On the next road, Wei Yi walked extremely smoothly. Suddenly, he realized that all the branches that had blocked his way had dodged away. He wiped his eyes in confusion. He found that on his way, there were indeed no branches blocking his way.
"What a strange place." Wei Yi shook his head and muttered to himself.
He walked briskly, cheerfully on the unhindered path, and suddenly felt that everything would go very smoothly. His mood suddenly became extremely smooth.
"Awei, why are you here?" An extremely familiar voice suddenly came into Wei Yi's ears very abruptly.
Wei Yi suddenly heard that voice, and his body couldn't help but stiffen.
This is not someone else's voice, this is the voice of Li Xiaohui that he has been thinking about for a long time. Wei Yi looked up quickly in disbelief towards the place where the voice had come from.
