"Have you noticed that the further we go south, the more the sun seems to go down? The sun was already very close to the horizon, and now it is even closer. ”

A little earlier, the fugitives had just arrived at the edge of the mountain range, and at the foot of the mountain grew strangely shaped trees.

The vegetation distribution of the Daling Mountains is divided into north and south, as well as height.

The trees at the foot of the southern foothills are short and sparse, and most of them do not grow leaves like glowing trees. There are also rocks on the ground that are not covered by soil, which have a strange blue or purple surface. Slightly upward, the trees became denser and taller, and began to grow the kind of green leaves that Gu Chuan was familiar with, and the rocks were well covered by the soil. At the top of the mountain, the trees became fewer until they disappeared, and finally only the rocks remained...... Countless bare rocks, surrounded by clouds and mist.

There is no snow on the top of the mountains, and there is no water source. The ink with the largest flow is also only between the mountainsides and foothills.

Originally, some of the fish that swam into the sky with the torrential rain and storm in Huaishui were blown to the southern mountainside with the strong wind, and fell down with the rain. Some fell to the ground and died, and some fell into the river, but they could continue to swim as if nothing had happened.

Just as it was sunny, the fugitives started a fire by the creek and grilled some fish that had fallen to their deaths. Gu Chuan stretched out his hand to cover the sun, looked carefully from afar, and suddenly noticed that the sun seemed to be a little closer to the ground.

At that time, the toeless man was swimming in the water, and the water reassured the toeless man.

And Hatsuun is killing insects.

Mountains, forests, rivers, and other places in this world are also home to all kinds of strange creatures. Among the stumps and leaves that had been soaked and rotted by the rain were disgusting-looking, brightly colored knobby animals, covered with fluff and spots, especially when the mouthparts of the insects were opened. That's it, there are flying biting flies and insects flying on the mountainside, making a continuous buzzing, and the tentacle-like sensory organs or thin thread-like legs grind and rub there, and people's goosebumps will rise.

These bugs are not afraid of people, and prefer to approach living things, crawling through gaps into their shoes, pants, or faces. By the time the people felt the numbness and itching under their feet, they had already bitten a big bag, and then the insects themselves were trampled into corpses, and the green and pink blood seeped into the socks.

Gu Chuan, who has the memory of two lives, and the toeless person who has no memory of the outside have to worry in their hearts.

Chu Yun was not afraid at all, she picked up the sewing needle and pricked the worm that was close to her.

She pricked one by one the insects, some were thrown into the fire by her, and some were thrown into the water by her. The insect crawled into her shoes, and Hatsuyun took off her shoes without changing his face, making a sound so small that it was almost inaudible.

It was a silk-woven sock, the feet wrapped in socks and the wooden water shoes rubbed against each other, the smooth and crisp sound, Gu Chuan, who was facing away from the first clouds, felt that he heard the sound of the world's most beautiful, extremely fine snowflakes splashing in the air.

Then, Hatsuyun stabbed all the insects that had entered his shoes to death one by one, and poured all the corpses into the water. The toeless man who was diving thought it was starting to rain insects from the sky, and let out a strange cry of fear.

Her eyes were on the flies and insects, on the fire, on where she came from, and into the distance. She wasn't particularly afraid of any of that. Everything is equally new to her. The reason why she was distracted was because her mind kept recalling what Chuan Mu said. Chuan's mother said that the booklet was all made up by Gu Chuan...... Wasn't she deceived?

But even if you are deceived...... She thought she still liked the booklet.

The travelogue was already wet and rotten, and I couldn't take it with me, and the moon-yellow moth that was used as a bookmark was taken out by the ingenious Sichuan mother and made into a pin, and it was pinned to Chu Yun's chest.

She touched the pin, and there was some wonderful joy that she did not understand. Hearing Gu Chuan's question, she put on her water shoes again, stood up, and looked in the direction the young man was looking.

The setting sun still hung brightly over the rushing water.

"Is there one?"

She blinked, her puzzled gaze falling on the young man in front of her looking into the distance.

The clouds closed back on the sun, and the rain fell in a trickle. They put on their raincoats and walked through the jungle with two horses that kept turning back, and they could see the footprints of unknown creatures and the bones of past creatures.

The horses neighed in fear at the sight of the bones, and if it weren't for the first clouds pressing down here, the two horses might have run away.

Gu Chuan looked left and right:

"I remember this being what the merchants called the no-go zone, the area that no one in Sunset City would try to climb, and no one knew what was alive here."

"Maybe someone from a long time ago knew." These bones reminded Hatsuun of the dungeon under the Central Forbidden Palace, and there were also strange-shaped bones in the dungeon, "In the records of the inner city, the first dusk war was fought on the side of the mountain, to clean up the strange beasts. His Majesty said that after the First Twilight War, it was forbidden to enter or leave the place. ”

"Are they likely to give up?"

Hatsuyun shook his head.

The fugitives walked in the direction of the most dangerous rivers and cliffs in the rainstorm, stepping through the wet grass and trying to find a favorable terrain. Occasionally looking down, you can see patches of woods shaking in the rain, but strangely, there are no signs of wild beasts.

Walking along the water, the river was filled with branches, patches of algae that had gathered in patches, and rotting beast carcasses washed down the water.

"Isn't it a long way from here? If it is farther away, it may be out of the search range of the Sky Mirror. ”

Gu Chuan asked.

"Probably, yes."

Hatsuyun picked up a leaf and said absentmindedly.

"Can I take off my hood then?"

This is something that Gu Chuan, Chu Yun, and the toeless people have discussed a long time ago. Away from Sunset City, signal your position and direction of escape to attract your pursuers. This is also a cover for Rizhao Village. If they don't know the location for a long time, they will definitely find Rizhao Village.

"I think, yes."

Hatsuyun said seriously.

Gu Chuan looked at Chu Yun, and Chu Yun also looked at him. Then the two of them took off their masks together. The lock of the Celestial Mirror really took effect, and the luminosity rose rapidly, and it immediately soared into the sky, and the light from their faces forced the two of them to close their eyes to prevent them from being burned.

They then put on hoods, revealing only two pairs of eyes.

The brilliance faded and returned to a looming state.

It's just that at this moment, Chu Yun looked behind him with some feeling, and saw a condensed green liquid in the river next to him. The liquid is like snot, floating on the water without dissolving into the water, always going upstream, as if a merciless carnivorous fish is chasing the fry in front of it.

Chu Yun was stunned for a moment, and immediately said:

"Gu, something happened."

"What's the matter?"

Gu Chuan turned his head and just saw the green water in the river sticking out of the river as if it had stretched its neck. This cloud of green water soared in the air, and the top gradually conjured up a human face, and the sunken double holes were its dark eyes, as if staring at the person in front of it. Then, a hand made of water stretched out from the green water mass and was about to reach forward and touch the human.

The humanization of all still life is the most appalling. Gu Chuan immediately retreated, avoiding the touch of the sticky green water.

And Chu Yun held the needle forward and cut the hand stretched out by the green water.

The snot-like liquid suddenly dispersed back into the green water mass.

"It's a strange thing...... Or is it a strange beast? ”

Gu Chuan exclaimed.

There is no mention of this in the encyclopedia.

"This may be a strange thing that the Xinshui family has only recently salvaged from the bottom of the water...... At the time I knew about it, its functionality had not yet been figured out. "Hatsuyun remembers this face, this is ...... The face of the chief officer of the Criminal Affairs Division, "Maybe now, its function has been cleared and it is being used for this chase." ”

With that, the sewing needle poked the face in the center. The old liquid was suddenly blown like a balloon, and its face was concave in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, it fell into the water as a puddle of green liquid, and then it was washed away by the water to the boundless place.

Then Chu Yun stopped his hand, and the sewing needle had been bent. She put away her needle, took a hard branch from the ground, and said:

"We've been discovered. The nearest moat may be within a few kilometres. ”

Ahead was a chaser cliff rift, with rivers on the cliffs and rivers beneath the cliffs, each meandering from their unknown land. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was crackling like a pebble.

Sunset City's rainy season is hard to fathom. No one knows if the rain will get heavier or lighter.

"What should come will always come...... They are already very close to us, maybe even within a few kilometers. They chased us before the mirror was in place, but we haven't found anything yet......"

At this time, Gu Chuan was extremely calm.

"I had to flee where I had a chance. If the opposing side is scattered, perhaps we can split it up. Now, let's go! ”

The horse neighed uneasily and was driven forward by Hatsukumo.

The fugitives ran deeper into the mountains.

And the effect of the pillar of light is still fermenting.

Observation equipment falls on top of the central Ban Palace in Sunset City. At that time, there were observers who went up and down. Suddenly a voice came from under the mural:

"Welcome Your Highness back as soon as possible, your time is running out."

The tone of the Thought Condensation Machine was extremely cold, and all the attendants were not afraid. His Highness's escape was already a storm that affected the entire inner city, putting everyone in danger in the two systems of the Central Prohibition Palace and the 24th Division of the Council. Whatever is relevant, the dismissal of the relegatory, the demotion of the degraded, the retirement of the retired, and the execution...... Execute.

Among those who have been held accountable is the poor execution of the Dungeon Mission.

As a result, he became the temporary commander of the search team closest to the fugitive's location at that time. Before this person saw the lock of the Heavenly Mirror, he had already chased down to the place where the fugitives had lit the fire before, such as the brilliance of the Mirror today, but did not dare to advance directly, but asked the rest of the soldiers to wait with him for the convergence of the large army.

He then uses Monster Rock Stone to signal the other teams to converge.

The strange thing of the earthquake stone is also special. Originally, the earthquake stone was just a large, regular-looking rock buried under Sunset City, but it was not until it was artificially cut that Sunset City found that the individuals that were cut by the earthquake stone seemed to be still in the whole. Once a force is applied to one shard, all other shards will transmit the force to vibrate.

As long as the frequency of striking is different, the seismic stone can play a limited role in transmitting different information over a long distance. As a result, the vibration signals of various commands were agreed, and the earthquake stone became a means of ultra-long-distance communication for the Sunset City army.

At that time, the five teams were too far away to arrive in time.

The four teams in the vicinity converged one after another, and used strange objects non-stop to rush to the direction where the god was.

When the brigade arrived at the signal, they did not see the three fugitives, and the commander from the Fifth Field Regiment directly questioned him:

"Why didn't you hurry up to find Your Highness, but you were waiting for us here?"

He motioned for the rain to fall heavier and heavier, and said methodically:

"The road ahead is all dangerous roads, and there are not many historical records in Sunset City, sir, we don't have a geographical advantage. It was they who took the initiative to show the light that I felt dangerous. ”

This field commander knew better than Yan De the subtlety of the time and place at this moment, but he was more aware of the pros and cons of the road in front of him and the road in the rear, and he could feel that the earthquake stone in his pocket was sounded all the way by the unique way of the Central Prohibition Palace.

Impatient crowns are urging them.

He smiled wryly:

"Chief Officer, let me ask you, is it the terrible water in front of you, or is the order of the crown important? His Majesty was furious. We can only move forward immediately. If we drag it on, we won't have any good fruit to eat. ”

He bowed his head in silence:

"This is not for me to talk about, I can only stand in my place and give my advice."

The rain was pouring down, the wind was howling, and the field commander looked around and asked:

"Did you do anything about it? Is there a lockdown for His Highness's position? The pillars of light only lit up for a moment, and they might just have made a mistake. ”

"The strange thing has been punctured, and it will take a while to recover, so I can't track it directly. According to the close-up sensing method of the silver feathers that His Highness was moving deeper into the mountains, he could grasp the approximate path. ”

"That's fine. The terrain here is steep, and it is difficult for the two fugitives and His Highness to go far. The chief pondered for a moment, and then said to the people behind him, "Here along the terrain, you may be able to use a 'four-sided heavy prism'." ”

With that, four soldiers dressed in light scout costumes stepped out of the group, bumped their heads and ran out. Each of them had a crystal-like pillar in his arms. This column is not big, the length, width and height are like human hands, the whole body is crystal clear, the cross-section is triangular, and the whole is a long column, the upper and lower two fracture surfaces have obvious traces of broken breakage, flashing fluorescence.

This is the four-sided heavy prism that shone in the Fifth Twilight War.

For a long time, the four-sided heavy prism was not famous, because the function of this strange thing is complex, but in fact it is simple, it is nothing more than that if a strong light penetrates through its first side, it will be scattered from one side in the form of a rainbow.

This phenomenon is very close to the dispersion of light. The dispersion of light is still a property that has only been discovered in Sunset City in the last hundred years. The so-called dispersion means that when composite light such as white light passes through a prism, due to the different refractive indices of each monochromatic light inside, each monochromatic light will be deflected, thus forming a spectrum from red to violet, like a beautiful rainbow.

Before the discovery of dispersion, the effect of the Strange Object and the Quadried-Sided Heavy Prism was for a long time, and due to the nature of this only discovery, it was a typical "ornamental curiosity".

It doesn't have any lethal power, and even if it does, the light is only the level of a magnifying glass's glare that can light a piece of paper.

Thus, after Sunset City discovered the dispersive properties of the prism, the four-sided heavy prism was expelled from the pedigree of the strange object for a time - until it was angrily broken into four pieces by its original owner.

Then it turned out that the nature of the two was not the same thing at all. The four-sided heavy prism is a strange thing that really shows its extraordinary function as a strange thing.

The light emitted by the quadruple prism is not scattered light, but ...... Duplicated light.

As long as the four prisms are placed in the correct position, the rainbow-like light refracted from one side of the prism will fly into the second prism and be refracted into an even more brilliant rainbow. The second prism is shot into the third prism, while the third prism is refracted into the fourth prism.

Theoretically speaking, everyone knows that once it declines, then it is exhausted again and again, and the repeated refraction and reflection of the four-sided heavy prism should not be weakened one by one?

In fact, the light that flies from the fourth prism to the first prism will continue to scatter, reaching the next prism with the same intensity, thus completing an almost infinite cycle of repetition, forming a dense grating cage, like a chaotic camouflage, and it is no longer possible to distinguish red, orange, yellow and green.

And over time, with the occurrence of infinite refraction and reflection, the intensity of the grating will become higher and higher, and it only takes one minute of intensity accumulation to be able to burn the human body into powder in an instant.

The only pity is that when the quadrilateral prism reaches its extreme strength, any fixator used to control its orientation, whether it is the dirt underneath, the supporting rock, the fixed wood or the cast iron, will be destroyed by it.

In other words, the relative position of the four heavy prisms will also occur, and the infinite circulation of light can no longer occur, and it will return to the original state of ordinary prisms.

In order to fully use the power of the four heavy prisms, the guards of Sunset City have specially trained prism soldiers in groups, and these prism soldiers will not be able to do anything else, but will quickly find a suitable position in a wide range of fields with strange objects, and use four heavy prisms to surround a four-sided grating fence in the field environment, so as to lock a direction.

When the four prismatic soldiers set out, the commander of the field regiment calculated the time silently, and ordered everyone to disperse again according to the ranks, forming a network-like encirclement, and approaching the predicted route position from all places.

The officer in charge of the investigation only glanced at the ground and reported:

"The footprints of three men and the hooves of two horses can be identified, as well as the wheel prints of a pickup truck. They are hurrying forward, and the route can be determined. ”

The time was too short for the rain to wash away the fugitives.

"Keep walking!"

Said the field commander.

Behind the shrubs along the ridge, along the expanding flowing water, behind the uneven muddy earth, is the rift that runs through the ridge. He saw all the crumbles in all directions, but they were sheltered by bushes, and there was a stream of water and a few sections of overturned rock.

Everything below the cliff and everything on the top of the cliff cannot be seen from each other. The rain was rolling down the cliffs like a waterfall with mud.

In other words, it's dangerous.

For fugitives, for pursuers, both.
