Chapter 156: Training Camp 4
Professor Siye placed Surie and Wells and Mario on a team, and Mark and Mesefu and the girl in his class on a team. The rest were all divided into groups by Professor Siye, according to their respective levels of familiarity, in groups of three, for a total of four groups. These four groups of people set out from four different directions to reach uncharted territory in their hearts.
"I didn't expect the junior sister to be in a group with us, so it would be convenient for us to take care of you, I guess you have heard of Wells' strength. We'll be fine with him. Mario said uncertainly, his words were just a noise in her ears, and after hearing it, she cleared it from her mind.
Because it's autumn, the woods are full of ripe fruits, and small animals are busy preparing for the winter. They pricked up their ears, and when they heard the sound of footsteps, they hurriedly hid, and only when the footsteps faded away did they reappear and prepare food for the winter. Following the footsteps is a particularly inconspicuous creature that is not busy preparing its own food for the winter. Instead, he followed their trails and quietly pursued them in the direction they had gone.
This small creature is petite and agile, barely making a sound as it shuttles through the woods. It has a pair of nimble ears that allow it to hear sounds coming back from a long distance. It has a fluffy tail, and when it encounters danger, it can use its tail to completely cover its body. Hidden in a place full of fallen leaves, it is impossible for ordinary people to detect it. The color of its body is very similar to the color around it, except that the skin color under its fur is black. A pair of eyes that sparkle with a bronze light, capable of seeing anything clearly at night.
Wells, their team was heading in the direction of the sun setting in the west, and it was already noon, and as the sun slowly set westward, the shadows behind them were slowly lengthened. The three of them walked on the ground covered with fallen leaves, and the sound of broken leaves came from under their feet. Some subtle, undetectable sounds are drowned out by the sound of these leaves breaking.
"We need to take a break and then replenish our energy. "They walked for a long time, and even though it was autumn, it was still very hot. After walking for such a long time, the water in the body has long been squeezed dry. Seeing that Su Rui's mouth had begun to break, Wells suggested that they replenish a little energy first, take a little rest before continuing to walk.
Hearing that it was time to rest, Su Rui sat on the small stone beside her. Because of the excessive loss of water in the body, Su Rui, who had a dry and sore throat, didn't want to speak anymore.
"There are some fruits in the area, I'll go pick some and come back, these fruit trees look like they were planted by local residents, and there should be no problem. Mario said in all seriousness that Suri couldn't hear any hostility in his words, so she ignored him.
"No, the terrain here is complicated, and the three of us must not be separated. Luckily, the fruit trees are not far from here, let's go over together, can you hold on a little longer?" Wells asked Su Rui, pointing to the fruit trees not far away.
"I can, no problem. Su Rui barely stood up and saw a broken branch under her feet, which could be used as a crutch. So Su Rui picked it up, so that Su Rui would feel easier when she walked.
The fruit trees were not far behind them, and they should be able to walk there quickly. But when they walked in the direction of the fruit trees, they found that no matter how they walked, they could not approach the fruit trees, as if the fruit trees would gradually move away from them as they moved.
"Do those fruit trees walk, why can't we get close to those fruit trees even though they are right in front of us?" Su Rui also noticed this problem, no matter how they walked, the distance between them and those fruit trees remained the same. The fruit trees that are close at hand are out of reach for them.
Wells had never been in such a situation, they were so close to the fruit trees, and when they walked behind them, it felt like they were standing still.
"We can't be trapped here, should we tell Professor Siye about this, if it's really a problem with the illusion, we must inform him in time, otherwise it will be dangerous. Mario was very worried and said that although Professor Siye's hallucinations had not been problematic, they all knew that as long as there was a problem with the hallucination, it would be a big problem.
"Don't worry, we need to figure out the truth of the matter before we can accurately convey it to Professor Siye. Wells was in danger, and when he encountered such a situation, his first thought was how to find out the truth of the matter. The fruit trees were real, they were there when they passed by there.
Wells took a few steps forward, without any problems as he walked forward. So Wells went in both directions again, and there was no problem when he walked in both directions. Then the only problem is that they can't go in the direction behind them, and once they go behind them, they will be in place. That is to say, they can only walk forward or left and right at the moment, and the road they have traveled must not go back.
"This is the case only in the direction behind us, the other three directions are normal, which means that we will not be able to go back. Watching Wells keep trying, Su Rui analyzed that such a situation is really unheard of. The road they had traveled could not be retraced, and even if they found something, they would not be able to go back. Slowly, Su Rui felt a trace of fear, this fear came from the depths of her heart, although this fear was quickly suppressed by Su Rui, but that trace of uneasiness was always in Su Rui's mind.
Wells summoned his own messenger butterfly and conveyed the situation they had encountered to Professor Theer in the most concise words. After listening to Wells's whisper, the little butterfly quickly disappeared into the afterglow of the sun.
At this time, the three of them had no other way to choose, they could only walk all the way forward.
Fear made Su Rui forget about her physical discomfort for a while, and she followed closely behind Wells, walking forward without saying a word. It's just that none of the three of them noticed that not far behind them, there was a small figure following them persistently, looking like a small tail that couldn't be shaken off from a distance.
