Chapter Twenty-Three: The Secrets of Sky Wolf City
The morning light pierces the night, and the birdsong dispels the silence and brings life to the forest.
"Bang."
On the edge of a clear stream, Chu Ce put Zhuo Tianyu's body down, and the whole person fell to the ground, gulping mountain springs.
The icy spring water flowed down his throat, quenching the fiery hunger and thirst, and Chu Ce suddenly felt that most of the fatigue in his body was gone.
He rolled over and lay down, looked at the lush green leaves, and sighed.
"Grandma, why is this ghost forest so big! Could it be that Lao Tzu is going in the wrong direction? ”
From midnight to dawn, he walked for three full hours, during which he had to carry Zhuo Tianyu's burden, which could exhaust Chu Ce half to death.
But after walking and stopping for most of the night, there is no trace of human existence in sight except for trees and mountains.
He's even starting to wonder if he's fucking crossed over again!
Obviously, that tunnel is not very long, it stands to reason that they should still be near Sky Wolf City, there is no reason why they can't get out!
Just when Chu Ce was confused, a weak moan suddenly came from beside him: "Shui ......"
"Are you awake?"
Chu Ce's eyes lit up slightly, and he hurriedly ran to the stream to pick up the water with his hands, and then carefully fed it to Zhuo Tianyu's mouth.
The sweet droplets of water moistened his chapped lips, and after going back and forth like this four or five times, Zhuo Tianyu finally regained some of his spirit.
"Hungry ......"
He spoke again.
Chu Ce glanced at Zhuo Tianyu, whose face was pale, and shrugged helplessly: "I'm hungry too." ”
Zhuo Tianyu's expression darkened suddenly, Chu Ce grabbed his messy hair when he saw this, looked around, suddenly fell to the ground, reached out and pinched, grabbed a big and fat white worm, and smiled at Zhuo Tianyu: "Look what I caught!" ”
Then, with a pinching of both hands, he skillfully wrung off the head of the white worm, and handed the fat worm body to Zhuo Tianyu's mouth: "Eat." ”
The insect body touched Zhuo Tianyu's lips, and he trembled violently as if he had been electrocuted: "What is this?" ”
"I don't know what the scientific name of this thing is." Chu Ce said with a smile: "But we all call it white fat, I like to hide under the leaves on weekdays, and I am white and fat, but I have a full stomach." ”
"White Fat Man......" Although Zhuo Tianyu was blind, he seemed to think of something, and his lips trembled: "You...... You give me worms? ”
"That's right!" Chu Ce's face was taken for granted.
Zhuo Tianyu didn't speak, just twisted his body with all his strength, and his whole body was resisting.
Chu Ce had a playful smile in his eyes: "Aren't you hungry?" Why don't you eat it? Oh! I see, you're worried that this thing is poisonous, right? Don't worry, I've eaten at least a few hundred of this big worm, and it's not poisonous! ”
As he spoke, he handed the white worm to Zhuo Tianyu's mouth again: "Come, eat it quickly, it's nutritious!" Chicken flavor, not unpleasant! ”
Zhuo Tianyu's already snow-white little face became even more bloodless, if he didn't even have the strength to move now, he would have retched out a long time ago.
And when the insect's body that was still writhing with its head off was thrown on his face, Zhuo Tianyu finally couldn't help but let out a womanly exclamation.
Chu Ce couldn't help laughing out loud, and scolded with a smile: "Little white face." ”
Then, as soon as he raised his hand, he threw the white worm into his mouth, and without chewing, he swallowed it with a "grunt".
During the three years he was displaced, he had eaten more disgusting things than that, and once he was extremely hungry, he would really go crazy at all costs.
Zhuo Tianyu grew up in the Taoist temple since he was a child, and he didn't understand.
The white worm was in his stomach, Chu Ce also recovered some of his spirits, he looked around again, and really found some fruit for him.
It was sour and astringent, and it was hard to swallow, but fortunately it was not poisonous, so he ate one, and gave the rest to Zhuo Tianyu.
After the two of them finished eating, they finally had the energy to analyze the current situation.
"I said Tianyu...... You don't mind if I call you that, do you? I don't think you're a few years older than me. ”
"Well, call it, the senior brothers and sisters in the Taoist temple all call me by my name directly."
"Okay, Tianyu, do you remember which direction we went in when we were in the tunnel?"
"How can I remember that." Zhuo Tianyu shook his head, "That tunnel is extremely complicated, and I ...... it."
Speaking of this, he silently lowered his head.
Chu Ce sighed lightly and patted him on the shoulder.
was originally a young and promising exorcist Taoist, but suddenly he was blind, and no one could stand this kind of blow.
"Then do what I think." Chu Ce turned back to the topic, "District Seventeen is in the southwest area of Sky Wolf City, so as long as those people in the Red Lotus Sect are not stupid, the secret passage to the outside of the city will be as short as possible.
In short, we should be in the southwest of Sirius City right now.
And Sky Wolf City has official roads in the four directions of east, west, north and south, which means that we only need to go north or east.
But I walked for most of the night, but I was still trapped in this forest, could it be that those people from the Red Lotus Sect were so perverted, cultivating the tunnel and deliberately sparing the circle of Heavenly Wolf City? ”
Chu Ce expressed his doubts.
Zhuo Tianyu groaned slightly, looked around, and seemed to think of something: "Your inference is not wrong, it's just that this place is already far away from Heavenly Wolf City." ”
"Why is that?" Chu Ce was puzzled.
"Do you know how to shrink into inches?"
"Shrink the ground into inches?!" Chu Ce was so surprised that he almost jumped up, "Those cultists have such great abilities? ”
Of course, he knew that the magic power of the ancient powers in the novel was thousands of kilometers away from one step.
It's hard to imagine that the rabble of ragtags, who are unclothed and fight with fanatia, would have such abilities.
"Those cultists naturally can't do it, but Sky Wolf City has this ability." Zhuo Tianyu said slowly.
"In the early days of the establishment of the Heavenly Empire, the human race was not yet the master of this land, and the first emperor commanded a million elite expeditions and killed thirty-seven big demons in a row, which allowed the people of the Celestial Empire to enjoy peace.
And this Sky Wolf City was built to suppress a Sky Wolf. Legend has it that the remains of the wolf were buried at the bottom of the city, and thousands of years ago, the monks used the bones of the wolf to build tunnels under the city in all directions, in which one meter can reach the outside world for more than ten meters.
It's just that this matter is a secret, and the entrance to the tunnel is only qualified to be known by the high-ranking officials in the city, but somehow it was leaked out......"
Chu Ce was taken aback: "You mean there are ghosts in the city?" And the people of the Red Lotus Sect actually came in through Sky Wolf City's own tunnel? ”
"Inner ghost?"
"Uh, mole, I mean mole."
"Hmm...... It's a possibility. Zhuo Tianyu replied, tilting his head as if thinking of something.
Looking at him with a worried look, Chu Ce smiled and said: "Don't worry about it, the sky is falling, there are officials on top, let's think about how to get out of this forest first, if it is according to what you said, then we are now completely out of place." ”
"Hmm." Zhuo Tianyu responded, but he still stood still, thinking about something absentmindedly.
Chu Ce had no choice but to get up and walk around on his own to see if he could find more food or a way out.
After turning around for a while, he only picked up some fruits and mushrooms for his stomach, and seeing that Zhuo Tianyu had disappeared from sight, he simply sat down on the spot and began to take the opportunity to think about his golden finger.
