Chapter 59: Fairy Tale Forest (5) Road
"It's ......"
Mr. Lu Xun said that there is no road in the world, and when there are more people, it becomes a road. However, this statement does not apply at all to the path in front of me.
I looked at the road in front of me in shock, and felt more and more that Wolf Fang's guess was right—it was a magical room.
The path in front of us was clearly not a natural formation, but a deliberately created one. The road was wide enough that it would not be a problem for all eight of us to walk side by side, and at the edge of the road was a half-man-tall fence of thorn bushes, and next to it was the same black forest of trees around us.
It couldn't be more obvious, isn't it? This is a clear reminder for us to follow it.
"Wow! This road is very feeling, huh? It looks like one of those cursed forests, and you can follow the path of thorns to reach the castle and rescue the princess who was persecuted by witches! Fang Ruoxi looked very excited, pulled Liu Chang and said with a smile, "This room is more interesting than the previous one, it looks a little challenging." ”
However, Chen Si seemed to be born unable to get along with Fang Ruoxi, as long as he had the opportunity, he would squeeze her a few words, "Interesting?" How old are you? Still immersed in fairy tales? It's more of a trap no matter how you look at it, okay? Return to the princess castle, are you mature? ”
"Who do you say is childish? What's a trap? Do you find any other clues besides this path? ”
I... I've given up on the two of them. Listening to Fang Ruoxi's reply, I really didn't bother to stop these two people from arguing. Quarrel, quarrel, while it is still unclear how terrible it is here, and you can still be in the mood to quarrel, and when you really know how dangerous it is here, I am afraid that you will not even have time to cry.
"Did I say you were naïve? You're pretty self-aware. Chen Si said with a smile with a provocative smile on his face, and he didn't wait for Fang Ruoxi to respond after speaking, but... Turn your head to our side?
Chen Si: "Brother Wolf Tooth, Brother Lin, do you think we should follow this path?" Or should something else be done? ”
With Chen Si's questioning, Fang Ruoxi's gaze also turned to where we were, glaring at Wolf Tooth and Lin Ya viciously, as if threatening the two of them, making the two of them say that they should follow that path.
It's just that this kind of threat in the eyes is basically no deterrent to those two people. But for me, even though it was a pond fish that was affected, it was a little uncomfortable. Therefore, I silently moved two steps to the side, moving out of Fang Ruoxi's line of sight.
"Go down that path, there seems to be no other place to go now. Besides, since the room is designed in this way, it is obvious that it wants us to go down that path, so whether it is a clue or a trap, we can only follow it, right? ”
Listening to Lin Ya's answer, I felt for the first time that Brother Lin Ya was also quite cunning, and this remark was equivalent to affirming Fang Ruoxi's conjecture without refuting Chen Si's words, and the standard two should not be offended.
Looking at the harmless and cunning smile on Lin Ya's face, I realized that Brother Lin Ya... Maybe he's a man who can deal with women.
Compared to the sleekness of Lin Ya, the wolf's tooth was simply a stone in a stinky and hard pit—I had absolutely no intention of retaliating against personal attacks—he didn't even bother to answer, and directly bypassed Fang Ruoxi and Chen Si, the two women, and took the lead along that road.
Obviously, the wolf's reaction was also unexpected by Fang Ruoxi and Chen Si, but Chen Si didn't seem to react, shrugged his shoulders and asked Qu Ying to follow, but Fang Ruoxi looked angry, standing in place and glaring at the back of the wolffang viciously several times.
Belch... I think I'd better try to lower my presence and not get angry......
As Lin Ya kept up with the footsteps of the wolf fang, and because the road was very wide, the order of several small teams remained the same as when they walked along the tree before, that is to say, we did not always walk in the front - Fang Ruoxi pulled Liu Chang to overtake us from behind us and walked in front, and Chen Si also seemed to be competing with Fang Ruoxi, pulling Qu Ying to surpass us, and deliberately threw a wink at the wolf tooth when passing by us, and gave me a roll of his eyes by the way...... Who did I recruit and who did I mess with?
The baby was bitter, but the baby couldn't say anything, so I could only secretly roll my eyes at the wolf's teeth to show my anger. Unfortunately, however, just as I rolled my eyes at the wolf's fangs, the creature looked at me as if it had some kind of heart, and the timing was so precise that it caught me in a second.
I, I, I... I have a little cramp in my eyes.
Seeing the wolf fangs squinting slightly, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a cold and mocking look, I could only smile awkwardly, raise my hand and pretend to rub my eyes to block his gaze at me, and silently turned my head away.
The room I was in was dark enough, and my world was even darker. But the scariest thing was that I couldn't even roll my eyes to light up what was in front of me.
I feel like I'm just gone......
I don't know if the heavens heard my heart, and although it didn't let me roll my eyes to light up the eyes, it changed the dark environment in the room. As we walked farther and farther away from the huge tree, the surroundings grew brighter and brighter, and the gloomy atmosphere slowly dissipated, until finally the sun emerged from behind the clouds and poured sunlight into the forest.
At the same time, the thorn fences are also becoming shorter and sparse little by little, and by the time the sun comes out, the thorn fences are gone, but the road is still there. The woods on both sides of the road have also turned into normal green leaves. The surrounding ground was no longer charred black, but normal, grassy ground.
Have we been gone for a long time? How far away is the black giant tree? I thought, turned my head to look, and the first thing I noticed was not the giant tree, but a person I had forgotten before—Yu Pu.
When he saw me turn his head, he just squinted at me and looked at me lightly, then turned his gaze away and continued to look straight ahead, ignoring me.
Oh, my God... If I hadn't wanted to see the tree, I'd have forgotten that it existed. After all, his sense of existence is really low, even if his aura is so strong that people will not ignore him, but that is also the feeling of first sight, after watching it for a long time, there will be a feeling of habituality, although he is out of place with the surroundings, but he will subconsciously ignore him, not to mention that after walking on this road, he has been walking at the end, and I don't have eyes behind me.
He had not participated in the previous disputes and discussions, since he was the only one who had been alone, and had not formed a group with others, so no one had thought to ask his opinion, and secondly, he himself did not seem to want to join in the discussion. If it weren't for the fact that I had heard him say his name clearly, I would have wondered if he was mute.
But he didn't want to talk to me, although I thought he was a little weird, but there was no reason to say anything to him, so I couldn't tell him that the weather was good, right?
No longer bothering about his problems, I raised my eyes and looked into the distance, and sure enough, I could see the existence of the huge ancient tree at a glance, it seemed to be waiting for him on the sea, it was very eye-catching.
"Hey! Didn't you say this was a trap? What do you think? Isn't it now that the environment has also changed for the better, and everything has become better? Fang Ruoxi's voice came from the front, obviously saying this to Chen Si.
"Didn't someone say what kind of witch-cursed forest this was? Did you see the witch? Chen Si was not to be outdone, and replied without thinking.
Not bothering to pay attention to the bickering of the two little girls, I cautiously looked around, trying to find out if there was anything wrong.
After all, I know very well how dangerous it is, and I must not let my guard down because of such an environment, and this kind of calm and tranquility seems to me less like a good omen, but more like the calm before the storm.
"You don't have to be so nervous."
The wolffang's voice came from beside me, and I looked at him in confusion and waited for him to explain.
He said, "It's a little more dangerous here, but it doesn't suddenly appear dangerous, especially in this magical room, there must be a special omen before the danger appears." Besides, even if there is any omen, I will find it before you, and with your little detection ability, it will be too late for you to find out. ”
Hey, hey, hey... What happened to my Scouting abilities? You can just talk to people, okay? Besides, it doesn't matter if you don't say it later!
Silently spit out a groan in my heart, I don't want to deal with the personal attack of the wolf fang. But the person really relaxed, no longer nervously paying attention to his surroundings, and just walked normally.
Speaking of which, this is the first time I've been to this kind of place, and the large area of forest I've seen before is also a forest park. However, it is a "park" after all, and there is no comparison with this pure natural forest. With sunlight for photosynthesis, the air here is exceptionally fresh, and it is absolutely impossible to smell in a polluted place like the city.
Is this an unexpected benefit? I took a deep breath, and the fragrance of plants and trees filled my breath, and my whole body calmed down. Suddenly, I feel that I have a bit of a spirit of happiness in suffering, huh?
"Here we are."
"What... What the? ”
The wolf's tooth suddenly came out with such a sentence, which suffocated my breath, and then I realized that this was the wolf's warning, and the nerves that had just relaxed suddenly tensed again.
"Huh—" Wolf Fang glanced at me faintly, and let out a mocking laugh.
...... Although the thing didn't say a word and just laughed, I just couldn't understand the meaning of his laughter - "Look, what am I talking about?" It's all said that your reconnaissance ability is not good. ”
However, when I looked around, I didn't find anything wrong at all, and it was clearly the same as before. I was about to ask him if he was lying about the military, but I suddenly froze—I heard a voice.
A singing voice came faintly from the front, it was the voice of a little girl.
