Chapter 249: Entrance to the Otherworld
Eventually, the three of them began to ride into the night, galloping away, and soon the three of them disappeared into the night.
Now the moon is a little dim, as if covered with a veil of unknown, even the moonlight seems a little blurry, unable to illuminate the road ahead, the three of them can barely discern the direction of the way out with the keen eyes of the warrior.
At this time, the night was also a little cold, when Yang Xiaotian rode on the galloping horse, he obviously felt a chill coming, he couldn't help but tighten the cloak on his body, and then clenched his fists, his eyes invaded the blurred night again.
Now, Yang Xiaotian's rescue operation is like this vague journey, he can only see the road under his feet, but he can't see the situation ahead, and his heart is full of unknown fear.
"It's here!" Suddenly, Li Mu shouted.
"So fast, didn't you mean in another empire?" Elder Lan Ze said in surprise.
"Isn't that a lie to the students, saving them from coming along?" Li Mu smiled slightly and said.
Lan Ze suddenly came to his senses and said with a smile: "Even I was deceived by you, who would have thought that Elder Li Mu, who has always been honest and outspoken, would deceive people without moving!"
As soon as Elder Lan Ze finished speaking, Li Mu felt that his face was hot and uncomfortable, but fortunately, it was covered by the night, and Elder Lan Ze did not find anything abnormal.
On the other side, Yang Xiaotian looked up and looked ahead, although the night was hazy and he couldn't see the surrounding environment clearly, he could still vaguely see that in front of them was a lush forest.
"In the forest?"
"Hmm!" Elder Li Mu replied, stepped off his horse, and walked towards the forest.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian also followed the elder forward, and Elder Lan Ze, who was behind them, also followed forward and backward.
"No wonder you didn't clean up anything!" Suddenly, Elder Lan Ze remembered that before leaving, when he went back to the cultivation room to pack his things, Li Mu stood at the door and looked at himself silently, it turned out to be this one!
Li Mu didn't seem to hear it, and didn't answer, but continued to walk towards the forest, his eyes were full of yearning, you know, this is his blessed land!
Seeing that Li Mu didn't pay attention, Elder Lan Ze felt bored, and felt that their pace was speeding up, so he hurried forward.
After a while, Li Mu came to the forest, because of the obscuration of the leaves, the forest was dark, Elder Li Mu, lit a torch with a fire fold, held it in his hand, and then shuttled through the forest.
"The road ahead is not easy, you should follow closely!" Li Mu turned around and said.
Lan Ze replied and quickened his pace, and Yang Xiaotian followed closely.
At this time, I only felt a burst of coolness coming, although there was no cool breeze blowing on the skin, but it made people feel a little colder than outside, like being in an ice cellar, even the air was cold. At this time, the three of them shuttled through the forest, like ghosts.
Even if someone outside sees the torch at this time, they will not think that it has anything to do with people, because it is impossible for normal people to run to the forest late at night, only ghosts.
In this way, the three of them ran for a long time, and did not stop for a moment.
Elder Lan Ze saw that Elder Li Mu was still shuttling in front, still not slowing down, and was a little irritable, so he said, "Old Li, how far is it?"
Elder Li Mu still didn't stop, he didn't even look back, he still ran between the trees in front of him.
"Lao Li!" Elder Lan Ze saw that Li Mu did not react, and still went his own way, and his heart became even more angry, so he shouted loudly.
Elder Li Mu seemed to have woken up from running, thinking that he must let them rest for a while first and make it clear to them, otherwise, it would be too late to go down at the current speed, so he simply stopped running and stood in place waiting for Lan Ze and Yang Xiaotian.
By the light of the torches, it can be seen that the three of them are already panting and sweating profusely, although they are all martial artists, running does not consume much soul energy for them, but in such a dense forest, shuttling quickly is indeed very soul-consuming, especially Yang Xiaotian, he is just a student of the Soul Elder Realm, follow
It was already very difficult to run for so long with the two Soul Master Realm elders, and they were also so tired and out of breath at this time.
In fact, Elder Li Mu, who seemed to be normal now, had a little more anxious look in his eyes, but they were busy gasping and didn't notice it!
"Lao Li, you've finally stopped!" Elder Lan Ze let out a sigh of relief and said.
Elder Li Mu glanced at the two of them, squeezed out a smile, and said, "We're only halfway through the journey now, and we're still halfway there! And as we go deeper, the more difficult the road will become, and the more time it will take. But now we are running out of time. ”
"It's too late!" Yang Xiaotian was stunned, immediately raised his head, looked at Elder Li Mu, and asked.
"Yes!" Elder Lan Ze replied.
"This entrance to the other world will only open every day, if we can't catch it, we can only wait until tomorrow, but now wait for one more day, and the hope of rescuing Jing Teng will be reduced by one point. Elder Li Mu said the reason why he was so anxious in one breath, and immediately, Elder Lan Ze's reverence for Li Mu was a little more.
Yang Xiaotian's heart tightened, he didn't want that after they went in, what they received was the corpse of Brother Jing Teng.
At this time, Lan Ze, who was on the side, suddenly asked, "With such a vast forest, how do you know where that door is?"
Indeed, the entrance is in the depths of this forest, but it is so big, and there is no tracking soul beast, how does he determine the direction! You know, if they go in the wrong direction, they will go in the opposite direction, and the farther they run now, the farther they will deviate when the time comes.
Elder Li Mu smiled slightly, pointing to the yellow fluorescent insects above his head.
Yang Xiaotian didn't pay attention to the small insects flying above his head because he was patronizing and running before, but now when he looked up, he saw a few fluorescent insects, flapping their little wings and flying around overhead, just like fireflies, but they were not fireflies.
Lan Ze suddenly raised his hand, grabbed a small insect, looked up and down, and said suspiciously: "What does this have to do with the direction of the entrance?
"The Mother Tree, the child of the Tree Spirit, is said to be the child of the Tree Spirit, who has only a week in her life, dreams of flying back to the Mother Tree, just like our current people make a pilgrimage. Elder Li Mu replied.
This answer, Elder Lan Ze and Yang Xiaotian were even more confused, where is this! I asked how to judge whether the direction is correct with the help of the little worm, you tell me the legend, is it completely wrong for the horse's mouth! However, this legend also aroused Lan Ze's interest, so he asked again: "Does this have anything to do with the entrance to the other world?"
"That tree is the entrance to the Atlas!" said Elder Li Mu.
"So the direction in which the mother worm flies is the direction in which we are going. Yang Xiaotian suddenly realized and asked.
Elder Li Mu nodded, and then said, "And the closer you get to that big tree, the more tree insects will be, because the tree mother insects of the entire forest are flying towards it. ”
"Then hurry up and go!" At this time, Elder Lan Ze rushed forward, snatched Li Mu's torch, and leaped towards the depths of the forest.
Elder Li Mu immediately smiled bitterly, and continued to shuttle through the forest with the torches, constantly brushing his head with the glowing tree mother insects above his head, making a "buzzing" sound.
Sure enough, the speed of the three of them was faster than before, and they all walked like flying. Perhaps everyone has a clear direction, but they feel that there is too little time, and this sense of urgency keeps pressing everyone to rush forward.
Therefore, in order for the team to complete the task, in addition to everyone being united, the leader must also have a clear direction so that everyone understands that it is right to follow you, and at the same time, it is necessary to set a timeline for everyone to move forward at full speed.
Yin Shi and the three of them were anxious in their hearts, their steps were still fast, and there were more and more tree insects around them, and they felt like they had entered a honeycomb, and the side of their heads kept buzzing, but there was still no trace of the big tree.
After a while, Yang Xiaotian began to feel the crisp sound of "popping" under his feet, and the further he went, the denser the sound of "popping" became!
Suddenly, Yang Xiaotian seemed to think of something, and suddenly felt a little nauseous, because he knew that his feet were not stepping on the dead leaves of the grass, but small insects flying above his head, and the sound of "popping" just now was very likely to be the body of the mother insect
When you step on it, it pops and makes the same sound.
Thinking of this, he walked faster, as if his legs were about to be stuck with the body fluids of the tree mother.
He didn't even dare to lower his head, for fear of seeing the dense little corpses, and even more afraid that knowing the truth would be as he thought, in fact, even if he lowered his head, he couldn't see the heroic scene on the ground clearly, he could only see darkness.
After running for a while, the sound of "crackling" on the ground turned into a "crackling" sound, as if a string of firecrackers sounded on the soles of his feet.
At the same time, the female tree worms on the top of the head began to become less and less.
"It's almost there!" Elder Li Mu said suddenly.
The nervous hearts of the people were put down, and they finally caught up, because it would be half an hour before the end of the hour, and then the entrance to the other world would be closed, and they would have to stay all day in this place full of tree mothers, waiting for tomorrow's day.
Sure enough, after a while, they saw a glowing towering giant tree not far from them, Yang Xiaotian stopped running, looked up at it with both eyes, and walked towards it slowly, not even caring about the sound of "crackling" under his feet.
The giant tree is located in a small bun, there are no trees around, at first glance it looks a little bare, but the faint moonlight poured down, and it was all covered by the branches and leaves of the giant tree, even if there were a few missing moonlight diamonds, it was also annihilated by the light of the giant tree that glowed by itself.
