Chapter Fifty-Six: Xiuxiu and the Puzzle Forest

The black shadow that was caught by Zhang Yuan and the others sat on a big rock, and Zhang Yuan and the five of them stood in a circle and surrounded him in the middle.

Su Xiaoyu asked a few words just now, and then he knew that this guy's name is Xiuxiu, and he is an elemental lifeform born naturally from this plane, and he can also be regarded as the son of this plane.

At this time, Xiuxiu probably realized that what Zhang Yuan and Su Xiaoyu said at the beginning was just to scare him, so she made a grimace at Zhang Yuan, but she still looked at a few people with vigilant eyes.

"You say this place is called the Forest of Illusions, what is strange here, why can't we get out no matter how we go, we can only go around in circles?" Su Xiaoyu looked at Xiuxiu and asked, at this time, there was still a look of disbelief on her face that did not fade, she still couldn't believe that she and others had caught this son of the plane so easily.

"Hmph, this is the most mysterious place in Kinohara, and it's not strange that you humans are trapped here." Xiuxiu sold a pass, and said with his eyes closed a little proudly, but he quickly opened one eye and peeked at Su Xiaoyu. "Do you want to know? If you let Xiuxiu go, Xiuxiu will tell you. ”

Su Xiaoyu and Zhang Yuan glanced at each other, they didn't want to hurt each other, but if they wanted to let Xiuxiu go directly, Zhang Yuan felt that it was not very safe. In case Xiuxiu runs away directly, wouldn't it be just trapped in this place, and if you can't find your way up before night, you may be attacked by the roots of a big tree sticking out of the ground.

Zhang Yuan looked at Xiuxiu sitting on the stone again, and sighed, he would definitely not be able to do such a thing as torture to extract a confession, it seemed that if he didn't agree to Xiuxiu's conditions, the other party would not answer these questions again.

"Zhang Yuan, what do you think, are we going to let him go?" Su Xiaoyu looked at Zhang Yuan with some embarrassment and asked.

Zhang Yuan shrugged his shoulders and replied: "Now it seems that the only way to agree to his conditions is to agree, otherwise he won't say anything, and I guess he may not be afraid of the roots you said, and it is we who suffer the losses here." ”

Su Xiaoyu nodded, probably agreeing with Zhang Yuan's opinion, she leaned to the side a little to make way for Xiuxiu.

Xiuxiu heard that there was no movement in front of her, so she secretly opened her eyes a little and saw Su Xiaoyu give way, so she was a little surprised and her eyes grew and asked, "Then you are really willing to give way to me, aren't you afraid that Xiuxiu will run away and not come back?" ”

Hearing Xiuxiu's words, Su Xiaoyu stared at him for a long time, until she stared at Xiuxiu a little creepy, Su Xiaoyu said, "Would you do such a thing?" ”

Xiuxiu didn't speak, just jumped up from the stone and jumped out of the gap where Su Xiaoyu got out of the way. Everyone watched as he rushed to the foot of a big tree at once, and like a gecko, he used his hands and feet together, and quickly rushed up against the surface of the tree.

The thirty-meter-high branch was only a few seconds for Xiuxiu, and after he climbed the tree, a few churns disappeared.

Zhang Yuan sighed, he was so tired to death that he climbed a coral mountain, he didn't expect the other party to go up the tree so easily, and sure enough, people and people's physique are different, and they can't be generalized.

After a while, Zhang Yuan heard Xiuxiu's voice coming from the empty woods, but it was a little more ethereal.

"Follow this path, and you can get out."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yuan saw that the leaves on the ground moved to both sides in unison, vacating a road, it seemed that this was the way Xiuxiu said to go out.

Zhang Yuan looked at Su Xiaoyu and said with a smile: "It seems that our choice is not wrong. ”

Su Xiaoyu also smiled in return and asked, "Just now, weren't you worried that he really ran away like this?" ”

Zhang Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "What if he deceives us, even if we go out, with our current state and strength, it will be very difficult to get a good ranking." Maybe we'll be suffocated by the Night of Suffocation or the Prayer for Mitsuko, and we'll be eliminated from all five of us. ”

"Crow's beak." Su Xiaoyu glanced at her, but she naturally knew in her heart that only Jin Wei could fight in their club at this time, needless to say that Zhang Yuan was a magic handicapper, Su Que looked at wearing a small armor, but it was actually useless.

Zhang Yuan and Su Xiaoyu were a little depressed at this time, although even if they didn't get a good ranking this time, it wouldn't have a big impact on them, but it was still very uncomfortable to watch something fail like this.

Along the path pointed out by Xiuxiu, Zhang Yuan and his party walked for a long time, if it weren't for the fact that he never saw the big stone again, Zhang Yuan would have wondered if Xiuxiu was lying to himself and others.

After walking for a while, several people saw that the road pointed out by Xiuxiu with leaves had come to an end, and they thought that this was probably the exit of the Forest of Illusion, and they were about to walk over, when suddenly a voice behind them stopped them.

"Wait a minute!" Everyone turned around when they heard the voice, but they saw Xiuxiu standing under a tree looking at them, holding a huge piece of bark in her hand, and she didn't know what she was doing.

Xiuxiu raised the bark in her hand and said, "You can leave the Forest of Illusion if you go any further, but the time for the giant trees to go berserk is coming, so you must quickly find a place to hide." I've drawn a map, and you can follow the map to find the place. ”

Zhang Yuan looked at the "map" in Xiuxiu's hand, and suddenly asked, "You, why do you want to help us?" ”

"Because, you don't look like bad people, Xiuxiu can smell it. And you have the blood of the invaders on you, and Xiuxiu smells it too. Xiuxiu stood under the tree and said solemnly.

Zhang Yuan and Su Xiaoyu glanced at each other, and then asked Xiuxiu, "Is the intruder you are talking about that kind of big toad?" ”

Xiuxiu nodded vigorously and said with some sadness: "Not only those monsters, but also many others, all of which you put in, and the forest is everywhere." Xiuxiu's friends, insects, and Xiao Xiuxiu, many of them were killed by monsters. ”

What is the worm, what is Xiao Xiuxiu, Zhang Yuan listened to it with a confused face anyway. After a while, a few people realized that the worms might be those Ansarua, but they didn't expect that they were also the aborigines here.

Xiuxiu continued: "The map was given to you, but you have to promise me not to hurt Xiuxiu's friends. ”

After speaking, Xiuxiu put the bark map in his hand on the ground, turned around and was about to return to the tree, when Zhang Yuan stopped him.

"Wait a minute!" After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he whispered a few words to Chengge, and Xiuxiu turned her head and looked at the two of them with some suspicion.

Chengge's face gradually turned red: "But, but it was given to me by my brother." ”

Zhang Yuan glanced at Xiuxiu and continued to persuade: "It's okay, my brother can send you back then." Xiuxiu has helped us so much this time, shouldn't we be grateful to him? ”

Chengge nodded, took the best-looking set of clothes he carried with him, handed it to Zhang Yuan and said: "Brother is right, and Xiuxiu is like us, she has no relatives, she must be very lonely, this set of clothes should be given to him." ”

Zhang Yuan took the clothes, turned around and walked just two steps, but was stopped by Xiuxiu.

"Don't come here, you, what's in your hand?" Xiuxiu looked at Zhang Yuan with some vigilance and asked.

"Clothes, I'll open them for you. You see, like these that we wear, this is a dress for you to wear. Zhang Yuan stopped, shook the clothes in his hand, and showed Xiuxiu opposite.

Xiuxiu looked at the clothes in Zhang Yuan's hand, and then looked around Zhang Yuan, and then stammered: "You, you are not allowed to come, let her bring things, clothes, clothes." ”

Saying that, Xiuxiu pointed to the song behind Zhang Yuan, and it seemed that she was still not worried about Zhang Yuan's past, so she chose the most harmless song among several people.

Zhang Yuan turned around and handed the clothes back to Chengge, and said, "He wants you to come over, but that's fine, this is also your gift, and you should give it to him with your own hands." ”

Chengge nodded, picked up his clothes and walked cautiously towards Xiuxiu. Xiuxiu watched Chengge come over with his clothes, and also picked up the piece of bark from the ground, staring directly at Chengge.

"Here, this is a dress for you." Chengge stretched out his hands and handed the clothes to Xiuxiu. Xiuxiu slowly lifted her tail in front of her, and then rolled it up quickly, and swept away the clothes. Xiuxiu also learned to sing the song, held the bark in both hands and handed it to the song, and said a little shyly:

"This, this is the map that Xiuxiu gave you."

Chengge glanced at the bark of the tree, and there was indeed something drawn crookedly on it, and he couldn't see it clearly for a while. However, she still solemnly took the bark, said "thank you", and turned around to return to Zhang Yuan.

"Wait, wait a minute, Xiuxiu thank you too." Chengge heard Xiuxiu's voice behind him, and when he looked back, there was no one behind him, only between the branches above his head, there seemed to be a bright petal jumping.

Chengge walked up to Su Xiaoyu and handed over the map in his hand. Su Xiaoyu frowned after taking a look, and Zhang Yuan also leaned over to take a look when he saw her expression.

As soon as he glanced at Zhang Yuan, he was completely dumbfounded, there were a bunch of symbolic marks of unknown meaning drawn on this bark, and he couldn't understand what it meant at all.

After looking at it for a while, everyone could probably understand the meaning of the map.

There is a line on the map, and there is a circle on it, this circle should be where Zhang Yuan and the others are, and that line may be the road that several people walked on.

Starting from this circle, Xiuxiu drew a crooked line, pointing to a messy line, which should represent Coral Mountain. Zhang Yuan looked at it again, pointed to the line and asked, "His painting is crooked, and there is no reference, how do we know how to go?" ”

At this moment, Jin Wei stretched out his hand and pointed to other lines of unknown meaning on the map, and said, "Looking at these lines, I think they should represent the direction of the wind." ”

"The direction of the wind?" Su Xiaoyu repeated the word, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked, "Xiaowei, you can be more detailed." ”

Jin Wei pointed to the map and said, "My mentor said that the trees in the forest will use the wind to transmit messages, but I didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at the time. But now that I see this map, I think it's the wind that my mentor said. Since this is the case, then Xiuxiu, as the son of the plane of the cold rainforest, should also have something to do with these trees.

So I guess these lines are not meaningless, they should refer to the wind in the woods. Xiuxiu can only show us the way here, which shows that outside of this area, his control is much weaker, and he may not even be able to leave here. So he gave us this map, and since it was referring to the road outside, I think that this information was what he learned from the wind.

In this way, the map he drew should be drawn with reference to the direction of the wind, and I can find the way to my destination by sensing the wind element. ”

Zhang Yuan and Su Xiaoyu both nodded, although they didn't know whether what Jin Wei said was right or not, but only dead horses were regarded as live horse doctors.

In this way, the group embarked on an unknown path.
