"Hey, when are we going to be able to walk back?" I asked Wolf Fang as I walked.

It is also very inconvenient to shrink, the road in the woods, although it looked very flat before, but after shrinking, those small potholes suddenly showed a sense of existence, the small potholes that had no effect on us were now all places that could trip us up, and the grass that we couldn't feel at all now became the lowest to the height above our waist, which made it extremely difficult for us to walk.

Wolffang turned his head to look at me, and just as I had just walked through a small pothole, he reached out and pulled me, and replied, "I'm afraid it will take a few hours to walk back to that road, although I didn't go very far after the rabbit before, but the problem is that we are now narrower, and the distance we can walk in an hour is much shorter." ”

"A few hours? I think we've only been running for a few minutes. I frowned a little stunned, "The distance we ran through should only be about 800 meters, and it won't be more than a thousand meters." ”

"About four hours."

As soon as I finished speaking, Yu Pu's voice sounded, and I turned my head when I heard the sound and looked at Yu Pu with a calm expression, which made me wonder if he was talking nonsense.

However, based on what I know about Yu Pu, he should not take the initiative to say a false number, so I asked in surprise, "How did you calculate it?" ”

"If you estimate it at random, the result should not be too bad."

Yu Pu's answer was very cautious, but thinking about the time difference between his pocket watch and his pocket watch before, I felt that his words were extremely credible, and the error was extremely small.

He went on to explain, "Looking at our current body proportions, I would have deduced that we should have shrunk by 17 to 18 times, and our walking speed should have slowed down by 17 to 18 times compared to the same period last year. ”

Ah, although I'm a little confused, Yu Pu's explanation is still roughly understood, but think about the four-hour journey, I'm afraid we'll go straight to the afternoon, damn rabbit! Is that the purpose of leading us to the flowers? The key to the wall of thorns in front of you hasn't been found yet, huh? Could it be something from a rabbit? But the rabbit is gone! Alas, what's the matter, it's really sad.

"It's not a problem to get there, you can get there with a little more time, but I don't think there's something right in the current situation."

Lin Ya also joined us in the discussion, I didn't understand what he meant, and asked strangely, "What does it mean to be wrong?" ”

"Rabbit." Wolffang interjected.

"Rabbits? The vanished rabbit? "I still don't understand what the two people mean, there is nothing strange about the rabbit after it disappeared, what are these two people talking about?

Lin Ya glanced at me and shook his head, "It's not that special rabbit, it's those ordinary rabbits." Didn't you notice? We walked for so long and didn't see any rabbits around. ”

"You're really sorry when you say that," I turned my head to look around, and sure enough, as Lin Ya said, there wasn't a single rabbit around, "Where have all those rabbits gone?" I didn't even see a single one. ”

"Yu Pu, how long have we been gone?" Wolf Fang didn't say anything about the rabbit, but turned to Yu Pu and asked.

Hearing this, Yu Pu took out his pocket watch, looked at the time, and then replied to the wolf's tooth, "It's been about two and a half hours, if there is no problem with the direction, it should have been a short and half distance." ”

Two and a half hours? Have you been gone for so long? I frowned, it stands to reason that if we had been walking for two and a half hours, we shouldn't have seen a single rabbit around. Except for rabbits, there were no ants or other insects, but after all, I already knew how abnormal and irrational the ecosystem here was, so I could accept the absence of insects or anything.

But how could I not see a rabbit yet!

Although I didn't pay much attention when I ran after the rabbit before, I still remember that there were a lot of rabbits in the places where I passed along the way, and although I couldn't remember when the rabbit disappeared in the end, I also had a vague feeling that it should have disappeared when it was close to the flowers, and it must have been there halfway through the way. However, now that we have walked most of the way, we still haven't seen a rabbit!

"That doesn't seem right," I frowned and looked around, hoping to find out even one rabbit, but I still didn't find it, "It stands to reason that I shouldn't have seen a rabbit here, wolf's fang, what's going on?" ”

"I don't know, but it's not normal, be careful." Wolf Fang said in a deep voice, unable to hear any emotion.

Be careful, how do I feel hairy?

But it's useless to think about anything else now, and we have no other way than to keep moving forward. After all, all the keys to open the Wall of Thorns appeared automatically on our way forward, and it was precisely because of this that after the rabbit disappeared and the clues were interrupted, we decided to return to that path and continue to move towards the Wall of Thorns.

I hope we're thinking too much, but I know that this kind of thinking is just self-deception, maybe from another point of view, the disappearance of those rabbits is our new clue now, but we don't know what it means and what it represents.

The journey was long and boring, and after another hour or so we finally came out of the woods and found the way we had come. At this time, Yu Pu's watch showed that it was past two o'clock in the afternoon, and we had indeed walked for more than three hours to four hours before returning to this road.

After all, it was nearly four hours away, and even though we were shrinking, we would still feel tired, so we sat down and prepared to rest for a while before moving on.

When we ate roast rabbit meat here in the morning, there were a lot of rabbits scattered around, but now there are no one, as if all the rabbits disappeared in an instant.

I think back to those rats in the no-man's city, we never saw them in the city at first, and it was only later that we learned that they were all hidden in the pipes under the city, but now we are facing not rats but rabbits, although rabbits seem to have a habit of burrowing, but we didn't see any rabbit holes along the way, and they don't seem to be nocturnal creatures, they shouldn't all be gone in the daytime.

I looked around and didn't find anything rabbit-related, but I did find something else - the black tree.

The black tree finally changed, and like all the other scenes, it grew ten times larger in my field of vision. I was suddenly a little confused, I had walked so many roads before, but the size of this tree in my field of vision had not changed at all, I thought it was a setting of the room, it would always be that size in the field of vision, but now it has become larger? What the hell is going on? I always felt like it seemed to mean something, but I didn't have a clue at all.

"The tree has also gotten bigger."

I looked at Yu Pu next to me and sighed slightly, "Yes, I always feel a little strange, but I don't know what it means." ”

"If there was any meaning to that, I'll always know."

Is this a consolation? I glanced at Yu Pu strangely and smiled slightly. There's nothing wrong with what he said, it's true, I'll always know, I just need to make sure I can live on.

After the break, we started again, and I don't know if it was my delusion, but this section seemed to be shorter than the distance between every two thorn walls before, because it didn't take long for us to reach the point where the thorn fence began to appear.

And unexpectedly, the vanished rabbit was waiting for us in front of the section of the thorn fence.

"It's you!" Seeing the rabbit appear, I let out a scream and hurried two steps to it.

By this time, the rabbit in the gown had returned to its normal size, and it looked like it was three or four times my size, and it was completely like a behemoth. So I didn't dare to get too close to it, and I stopped at some distance from it and talked to it.

"Yes, that's right, it's me." The rabbit said, and a smile — don't ask me how the rabbit laughs, it's the first time I've seen it — and said, "I've been waiting for you here for a long time, and we can start having a party with you, and you're so slow." ”

As it spoke, it pulled out its pocket watch and looked at the time on it, and a rabbit's foot quickly clicked on the ground.

"What kind of party are you talking about?" Wolffang asked with a frown, as he reached out and pulled me behind him, "We don't know what party we're going to. ”

"Participate? No, no, no, you misunderstood. The rabbit shook his ears as he spoke, "Of course I'm with my kind of people, you're not guests, you're just our food." ”

I was stunned for a moment before I reflected the danger in these words, and subconsciously moved closer to the wolf's fangs, and the others were also on guard at the same time. What's going on, do we look so delicious? Rats before, rabbits now?

The rabbit didn't seem to feel our hostility at all, or didn't care, but just pointed behind us, "Now, the guests at the party are here." ”

I subconsciously looked back, and my breath was suffocating for a moment - hundreds of rabbits had come out of nowhere, and they were crowded behind us.

This scene is familiar, but it's not a good scene.
