The royal capital of the Tyrannical Kingdom was located in the southernmost part of the Kama continent, far from Napoleon's city, and separated by mountains, which would take months to follow the route often taken by caravanserans.

Yi Miao is now cursed in her body, and spending an extra day is an extra danger for her, and they can't afford to delay these months.

Fortunately, the Hebrew city lord knows a shortcut, and it can't even take half a month to get to the king from that shortcut, but that shortcut is extremely dangerous, and there are a large number of bloodthirsty and brutal demonic beasts lurking, and ordinary people will not go there to die.

Shi Di and the others are not ordinary people, naturally they will not take this level of danger in their eyes, I heard that there is such a good way to compress the time of travel, so they immediately took care of the map of Hebrew City and decided to take a shortcut to the royal capital.

After saying goodbye to Anna and the others, the group set off from Napoleon City again, but this time it may be difficult to usher in the return journey in a short time.

According to the guidance on the map, they have been traveling south for about a week, and now there is less than half of the distance left from the destination, and they have indeed encountered a lot of demonic beasts attacking along the way, but these demonic beasts are nothing compared to the monsters in the nine-layer purgatory, and they have been solved by everyone in three or two.

According to Napoleon, the most dangerous thing on this shortcut is not the monsters that attack pedestrians, but the place they are about to arrive at - the Misty Peach Forest, which is said to have a complex formation in which pedestrians can easily get lost, although they have never heard of pedestrians dying in this peach forest, but people are always like this, and they are always afraid of the unknown.

Since no one has ever passed through this peach forest smoothly, over time there are more and more terrible legends about the peach forest, and the most common theory is that this peach forest lives in a witch who is good at demon magic, practicing evil arts in the peach forest, and does not want others to know, so it is in everyone's way.

This peach forest is not a necessary place to lead to the royal capital of the tyrannical kingdom, if you bypass the peach forest, the trip will only be extended by an additional three days, plus those rumors that are spreading more and more evil, so most people will detour.

There are not many people who take this shortcut, and occasionally there are brave and fat adventurers who choose this path, and among them, there are even fewer who will enter the misty peach forest in order to save three days.

Shi Di: They happen to be such a rarity.

As a thief who is well versed in the art of mechanism, Shi Di can be said to be able to crack the mechanism This kind of thing can be said to be handy, in fact, he has not encountered a moment for him to show his skills for such a long time, he has long been a little itchy.

Now there is a chance for him to show off his skills, let alone a detour, he can't wait to see the formation in the misty peach forest.

After deciding to go to the Misty Peach Forest, the group walked south for about half a day, and a faint mist began to appear around them, and the deeper they went, the heavier the fog became, and the distance of everyone's sight was much more limited than before, and the scenery in the distance began to become more shadowy, and it seemed that the Misty Peach Forest was very close to them.

"What a beautiful peach blossom!" The first to spot the peach forest was Helen, who was chattering endlessly along the way, and she noticed at a glance that there were many peach trees in front of her, and those peach trees were adorned with delicate peach blossoms, which looked very pleasing to the eye.

Helen stepped forward and climbed two peach blossoms, one pinned to her hair, the pink peach blossom matched her peachy hair, and she flew to Ida with the bat wings on her back, trying to pin her to her.

"Oh, I don't want to wear such a dirty thing, after wearing it, it will be no different from the village girl!" Ida pulled off the peach blossom branch that Helen pinned to her head, and threw it forward, and the peach blossom branch rolled twice on the ground and stopped under a peach tree.

"It's obviously good-looking, but my sister really doesn't have a love for beauty. Helen had touched a nail at her sister's, and found herself bored, muttering a few words, and going back to Tammer to show her newly acquired ornaments.

As soon as he walked into the peach forest, Shi Di began to observe the surroundings, hoping to find out the formation mentioned by the Hebrew city lord, but Rao was so good at exploring the environment that he didn't find anything unusual in the peach forest.

Except for the thick fog that filled the place, there seemed to be no difference between it and the rest of the place, and it could even be said that it was safer than the road they had come from before, and not even a single demonic beast appeared along the way.

No, not only is there not a single demonic beast, it should be said that there is not a single creature, except for the peach tree, which is a peach tree, there is not even a single other kind of plant here.

Shi Di couldn't help but think of the scene of stepping on the eyes of the three-eyed one-armed beast that day, there must be a demon when something goes wrong, even if he hasn't felt any danger so far, but it is better to be careful when encountering such a strange situation.

After walking for about half an hour, I still didn't find anything abnormal, there was no trace of any mechanism, nor did I suffer any attacks, and the fog here was just an ordinary water mist, which was not only harmless to the human body, but filled with a refreshing peach fragrance.

Could it be that the claim that there is a formation in the Misty Peach Forest is just a rumor spread by falsehood?

Shi Di looked ahead, only to feel as if something familiar had passed through his eyes.

No, Shi Di suddenly realized where the abnormal place was, wasn't it the peach branch that Ida had lost before lying on the ground in front of him?

Not to mention why the peach branch appeared in front of them again, just that the position of the peach branch was very wrong, he clearly remembered that Ida threw the peach branch at the foot of a peach tree, but now why did it appear in the middle of the two peach trees?

Shi Di's heart moved, and he immediately took out a bag of white marking powder, starting from the peach tree in front of him, and every time he passed three peach trees, he would sprinkle marking powder at the foot of the last peach tree.

After walking for about half an hour, Shi Di found a peach tree sprinkled with marker powder appearing in front of them.

The conclusion is obvious, these peach trees will move on their own!

Not only will they move, but their movement should be irregular, just randomly changing positions, forming different routes, guiding pedestrians to circle in it.

The fog here affects the vision of pedestrians, and the peach grove seems to recognize their whereabouts, so the peach trees that are far away from them will move, and the road in the peach grove is changed unconsciously.

If it weren't for Shi Di's mark, I'm afraid even he wouldn't have found it at all.

Everyone didn't understand why Shi Di started to make marks before, and it wasn't until they saw the peach tree sprinkled with marker powder that they understood what was going on, and their faces sank.

Is such an ingenious formation to trap pedestrians to death?

But if you want to say that, Shi Di didn't feel any threat here, his intuition has always been very accurate, and the purpose of the people who laid down this peach forest should not be to harm people.

"Wait a minute, let's go in the opposite direction for a while. Shi Di suddenly thought of something and decided to verify his idea.

The group turned around as they were told, and after only two minutes of walking, they returned to the position where they had first entered the peach forest.

Yes, the owner of this peach forest is not to harm people, but to prevent others from going deep into the peach forest, and there must be something in the peach forest that he wants to hide.

But if it's to stop people, what's the use of just setting up a peach forest, just in their team, there are three people and two beasts that can fly, if they can't go, can't they fly over?

With such doubts, Shi Di planned to let Yi Miao and Ke Meng give it a try, and the two of them leaned forward from the air as they said, and it didn't take long for them to return to where everyone was.

"No, the fog is so thick that I can't see clearly in front of me and below, and if I fly in one direction, I don't know why I flew back here so quickly. Ke Meng said that he had not returned to his normal form until three days ago.

Yi Miao put away her broom and nodded to Shi Di, indicating that she had encountered the same situation.

It seems that the owner of this peach forest has long thought of this situation, and has laid some kind of enchantment to deal with it.

Shi Di didn't give up, and walked into the peach forest again, trying to find a way to break this formation, but they wandered around for another hour, and he didn't have a clue to crack it.

Although they only needed to choose to turn around and leave to bypass this peach forest and move on, Shi Di really didn't want to leave like this. Since leaving Caesar City until now, he has not encountered a mechanism that he can't solve, and at this time, there is a mechanism that makes him helpless appear in front of him, and he is indeed very unwilling.

In fact, rather than wanting to know what the mechanism itself was about, Shi Di was more curious about what kind of person was the person who arranged it, and what he was so painstakingly trying to hide.

Just as Shi Di was thinking this, a faint sound of conversation came from the depths of the thick fog.

"What...... How...... It's not ......"

“...... Napoleon City ...... The ...... of the Tyrannical Kingdom"

"You ...... That's it...... Don't ......"

“...... Time...... Direction...... Otherwise......"

No, they were too far apart to hear what they were saying.

I can't think of anyone else in the peach forest, is it the same pedestrian? or...... The owner of the peach grove?

Shi Di and the others glanced at each other, and they all walked in the direction where the voice came from.

In the mist, the figures of three people emerged.

Easter Egg Theatre:

Peach tree: Lalala, in that peach flower~ ah blooming ground babbling, there is a group of small peach trees, they can move, if you ask me why, why do they move, don't tell you, don't tell you, don't tell you......

Mist: Looking at the moon in the fog, you can tell the unpredictable world......

Bottle: Don't ask me why they started singing, because today I reorganized the outline and turned over a scum song, so I can only change it twice, don't ask me what the relationship between these two things is, because I plan to attach the scum song right to be the third watch today.
