Three hours later. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Phew, when we reach the Two Realms River, let's stop here!" Lan Lingqing and the others understood that they couldn't move forward any further, and if they went further, it would be the scope of the Demon Beast Forest, where the world of demon beasts would be. There is also a human-like hierarchy among monsters, and provoking one may provoke a group, which is much more dangerous than a single dragon mouse.
Looking to the west, the sun is about to set, you must find a safe place to spend the night, this boundary river is good, and the demon beasts still rarely come out of the demon beast forest.
"Camp here for one night today and take a detour back tomorrow morning. Lan Lingqing looked at the small river not far away and gave an order to the guards behind him.
Fortunately, Lan Lingqing was originally prepared to sleep in the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest, and all the guards worked together to set up tents, and sprinkled some demon beast feces around to drive away wild beasts, and a safe camp was built.
After the last rays of the sun faded, the sky began to turn blue-white and slowly blackened.
There is always a strange magic in the night, which makes things that are close in front of you feel unreachable, and everything is full of unknown fear.
There are two bonfires in the night, which illuminate one side and force the night to give way to a small world, reflecting the triangular tents and demoralized people. A large bonfire surrounded more than a dozen lightly armored guards dressed in the same style, who were eating dry food and drinking stuffy wine with their heads down, and there were only two people in the other smaller bonfire, one big and one small, it was the brothers Lan Lingqing and Lan Lingmu. At this point, they were silent, the dancing flames creating a dull atmosphere, and the crackling sound of burning wood was in their ears.
"Do you regret coming to the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest, Ling Mu?" Lan Lingqing patted Ling Mu's shoulder, breaking the silence.
"The husband has no regrets when he makes mistakes. Hehe!" Lan Lingmu gave his brother a big smile.
"Okay, then let's get some rest, and we'll take a detour home tomorrow morning, and go to sleep." Lan Lingqing stroked his brother's soft hair and smiled.
"Well, then I'll go to bed first, goodnight brother. Lan Lingmu gave her brother Lan Lingqing a big smile and then entered the tent. He did feel sleepy, he was in a daze just now before he realized how sleepy he was, and now he just wants to sleep well, and he will forget any troubles when he gets up tomorrow morning.
After Lan Lingqing watched his younger brother's back enter the tent, he sighed, raised his head and looked up at the endless dark night, his originally smiling face showed a resolute expression.
"Tomorrow must be able to make Mu go home safely. Lan Lingqing silently made a promise to the night.
"Ha, I'm so sleepy, it's time for me to go to bed. Lan Lingqing couldn't help but yawn.
In the middle of the night, a crescent moon shyly emerged from behind the dark clouds after everyone had fallen asleep, releasing its faint light.
The moonlight gently poured on the flowers and trees of this forest of ten thousand beasts like flowing water, as if covered with a thin veil, hazy and illusory, like a fairyland.
"Xiao Yao, make me a cup of snow leaves. Lan Lingmu sat on the rocking chair, holding a copy of "The Bright Era" in his hand, and instructed this little girl Huan Xiaoyao.
"Yes. Xiao Yahuan Xiao Yao answered, and ran out mischievously, a little hectic and a little hurried. After a while, he hurried back again.
"Little boy, the tea is here, the tea is here. Xiao Yao hurriedly ran back, put the "teacup" on the table, and looked at Ling Mu with a smile. The two small tiger teeth exposed by the smile are very cute, and the eyes are also narrowed into crescent moons.
"This teacup...... It's a bit big......" Lan Lingmu glanced at the basin, turned to Xiao Yahuan and said. The moment he turned his head, he felt a whirlpool, as if there was a vortex in his head that kept spinning.
"Ahh He felt thirsty, no wonder he wanted to drink tea in his dream. I looked at my brother who was sleeping next to me, and I wanted to wake him up, but I stopped again when my hand was halfway through.
Although the outside of the tent was not very bright, it could be seen clearly, and Lan Lingmu lifted the curtain and walked out. There was always wind outside, and as soon as he came out, he plunged into it, and the wind blew his hair up, and strands of silver hair sparkled in the moonlight.
In the wind, he felt a little cool, but quickly got used to it.
He looked up at the crescent moon in the night sky, and the crescent moon seemed to be unable to resist his gaze, and was so shy that it was slightly covered by a dark cloud.
Lan Lingmu is thirsty now and wants to find water to drink. He found a water bladder next to the campfire, and when he opened the cork, he smelled of alcohol. It turned out to be a wine bag, and there was a small amount of wine in it.
Lan Lingmu doesn't like to drink, the taste of wine is weird, and it makes people feel confused after drinking. He poured out all the wine and took the empty wine bag to the nearby boundary river to draw water.
During the day, he saw the water of the Boundary River, which was so clear that it was drinkable.
The dim moonlight sprinkled on the ground, barely illuminating the way ahead, and Lan Lingmu quickly found a shore that was convenient for drawing water. In fact, the boundary river is very shallow, and the water surface is almost parallel to the ground, and it is the same from any place. He knelt on the shore, bent down, and lowered the sac into the river.
"Gollum!"
The river rushed into the wine bags like a bustling crowd pouring out of the gates.
Lan Lingmu calmly watched the river pour into the wine bag, without joy or sorrow.
Suddenly, two small fish, one red and one white, swam along the current and swam at the mouth of the sac. The two small fish chased each other's tails around the mouth of the sac, which made Lan Lingmu feel that he was being ignored.
"Hmph, you are not afraid to ignore me. Lan Lingmu was angry in her heart, stood up suddenly, threw the wine bag to the shore, took off her shoes, rolled up her pants and sleeves, and went into the water to chase the little fish.
The boundary river is very shallow, only up to Lan Lingmu's knees, so he is relieved to start the ground. Although the boundary river is not deep, it is very wide, five zhang wide, which makes him chase after the small fish several times.
However, the little fish really seems to be deliberately playing tricks on him, and whenever he can't find the little fish, the little fish appears in front of him again, telling him to continue chasing them.
Lan Lingmu had a lot of fun with the two little fish, completely forgetting about her thirst, and chased the little fish away from the station. But he didn't notice it at all.
At this time, in Lan Lingmu's original tent, Lan Lingqing slept peacefully, and in the dream he took Lan Lingmu home, and hit a lot of prey, and his father was very happy to see that he brought his younger brother back safely.
"Hey. Lan Lingmu pounced on the two small fish in the water, but she pounced again. Straightening up and wiping the sweat from his forehead, he felt very tired, rolled up his soaked trousers and sleeves, and prepared to go back to sleep.
When he looked up, he was greeted by an unfamiliar environment, no tents, no campfires, just the big trees around him, and the sparkling river in front of him.
On both sides, the branches of the trees in the shadows are crooked, and the whole tree looks like a ghost with teeth and claws, which makes people shudder.
The river reflects the pale moonlight and turns into its own "clothes", shining with the flow like a streamer.
For the first time in such an environment, Lan Lingmu was eerie, lonely and lonely, especially when no one was accompanied, it was easy to chill. He turned abruptly, looked at the way he came, and ran back with his legs, and he was going to follow the same path as fast as he could to get back to his brother's side.
On the way back, Lan Lingmu was knocked down by the stones in the water again and again, but stood up again and again. There were a few bruises on his calves, and his clothes were already soaked, but he still ran as hard as he could. For him, the fear around him was not the motivation to whip him desperately to run back, it was his brother who really encouraged him to come back, he is a person who is extremely attached to his loved ones.
Two shadows flashed past Ling Mu's feet and stopped directly in front of Lan Ling Mu. The red and white shadows were very familiar to Mu, and they were the two small fish he was chasing. But at this time, Ling Mu had no intention of chasing the two small fish, he just wanted to return to Ling Qing's side.
Two small fish, one red and one white, circled and frolicked in the water in front of Ling Mu, as if they were asking Lan Ling Mu to chase them.
However, Lan Lingmu ignored them and strode forward. When he was about to run to the small fish, the two small fish that had been spinning in a circle suddenly swam rapidly. In the time he took a step, a column of water half three zhang high and one zhang wide was turned.
The water column grew rapidly, and Lan Lingmu hurriedly stopped when he saw it, and his little feet rubbed against the gravel and fine sand in the water. In just a few moments, the water column swept all the surrounding water, and the water level that came to the knees instantly dropped to the ankles, and the boundary river was temporarily cut off, and the water column had become nearly 100 zhang high and more than ten zhang wide.
Lan Lingmu was taken aback, and after stopping, he looked up at the two small fish at the top of the water column. The top of the water column was turbulent, and then the condensed water column bent sharply, turning into a huge snake head. The head of the snake opened its mouth and spit out two prongs of snake letters, looking down at the small Lan Lingmu, and his eyes were one red and one white.
"Wow!"
Lan Lingmu exclaimed. He has had a special affection for snakes since he was a child, both loving and fearing them. I like the enchantment of snakes and am afraid of the cold-blooded nature of snakes. I saw a huge water snake condensed from water, and this snake was staring at me coldly, as if it was its prey, and it was a fool not to run. Without hesitation, he turned around and fled, moving further and further away from the station, but he couldn't care about it.
The huge anaconda watched Lan Lingmu run away, and did not immediately chase after it, and watched it playfully first, in its eyes, Lan Lingmu's movement speed was as slow as the speed of the snail in Lan Lingmu's eyes.
"Whew, whew. Lan Lingmu let out a heavy wheezing sound, and the long-lasting running made him feel like his legs were filled with lead, and he barely moved a few more steps and tripped over a protruding stone, and fell to the ground. Turning his head with difficulty, he saw that the head of one continued to occupy his sight, and the head opened its watery mouth and swallowed him into his stomach in one gulp. At the next moment when the anaconda swallowed Lan Lingmu, a large black hole appeared on the riverbed in front of the anaconda. The anaconda writhed and entered the big hole.
"Woohoo!"
After Lan Lingmu exhaled a few breaths in the belly of the water snake, his consciousness gradually blurred, and then he didn't know anything.
The black hole healed quickly as the water snake entered, returning to its original state, and the river gradually rose, and finally the water level returned to the same height as usual.
The moon still hung quietly in the night sky, the boundary river still flowed quietly, and nothing had happened here from afar.
In the tent, Lan Lingqing was still sleeping peacefully, breathing evenly, and falling asleep.
