The scorching sun hung high, and the ancient forest was silent.

The volcanic tower with the square minaret in his hand is like a clay sculpture of the old era, and at first glance, it only makes people feel inexplicable and creepy.

Although the bodies of the five companions who disappeared unexpectedly were not able to be seen, no one would have thought that their fate would be very good.

"If you advance, you will live, and if you retreat, you will die."

Chen Chaoyang's voice trembled, and he turned his head to look at Fu Lou suddenly, and said, "What do you mean by this?" What's hitting us, you know what it is, right? Say it! ”

Only by facing life and death can a person's heart be truly tested, Chen Chaoyang's psychological quality is not as hard as he imagined, because of fear, he will inevitably be a little incoherent when he speaks, and the last two words are shouted out directly

Li Qing glanced at him, too lazy to entangle with this golden and jade brother, and said, "Fulou, you can lead the way directly, we will follow you." ”

Fu Lou nodded, and without saying a word, he turned and walked deeper into the forest.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Qing set off to follow, Zhao Zihan followed, and Tan Ping and the others stood in place, and the eyes of the team members moved back and forth on the three departing people and their Tan team, neither advancing nor retreating.

At this time, Tan Ping's face was gloomy and about to drip water, this Li Qing couldn't help but take him too seriously, he, who was the captain, didn't speak, so he led people to act without permission, it was simply unorganized and undisciplined, and there was no concept of superiors and subordinates at all!

At this time, Tan Ping's first thought was not how to lead the team members out of danger, but the face and dignity of the leader who was trampled on by Li Qing, and secondly, after going back, who would take the responsibility for the loss of personnel in the team.

"Captain, we ...... now"

"Of course it's to keep up, do you still need to ask? No matter how stupid the person surnamed Fu is, he won't harm himself! Tan Ping suppressed his anger and chased in the direction where Li Qing left.

The next moment, they each made a choice for their own fate, some of them were led by Chen Chaoyang, and followed Tan Ping into the forest, while the other part took their own ideas and ran back along the road they came.

In the blink of an eye, only the unfortunate dry bones were left in the same place, curled up on the ground, so miserable.

There were not many people who chose to return the same way, only four people, all young faces, they ran wildly, and in a short time they saw the slope outside the forest without trees, and there was no danger on the way, and the dawn of victory made them more determined at the same time secretly laughing at Li Qing's group of fools who thought they were clever.

What "advance is life and retreat is death", so it is just to scare yourself.

As they got closer and closer to the slope, the four of them invariably had a smile on their faces, they bet right, no, it can't be said to be a "bet", now they prefer to believe that it was their wisdom that helped them make the right choice, the truth is often in the hands of a few, and they have made a rare "minority", and it is such a critical one.

But when they actually ran out of the woods, the smiles on the faces of the four suddenly froze, first in horror, then in despair, and this despair turned into a tidal wave, completely drowning the four of them.

……

As a man in the mountains, walking between the mountains and forests, Fulou's footsteps are quite neat, although Li Qing and Zhao Zihan are transcendental, but the latter's mastery of his own ability is not skilled, if it were not for Li Qing's help, Zhao Zihan would not be able to keep up.

After walking for a while, Fu Lou's pace slowed down, Li Qing and Zhao Zihan glanced at each other, calmed down, and slowed down.

Not long after, a chaotic stone forest came into view, the strange rocks in the forest are craggy, the shape is quite peculiar, although it is surrounded by trees, there is no moss on the stone, if it is not for Fu Lou to tell this stone forest that this stone forest has been like this a hundred years ago, it is said that it has been artificially carved in recent years, Li Qing will not have the slightest doubt.

"After the chaotic stone forest, it is regarded as the third fold of Fulong Mountain, and it is also really into the core area of Fulong Mountain, if you see a stone that looks like a beast in the stone forest, do not touch it, if you see a leopard stone statue with more than five tails, please stop for a while, and make a prayer with me, so that you can pass through this stone forest smoothly."

"If you don't see the stone statue I just mentioned after passing through the chaotic stone forest, then ......"

It seemed that it was too early to say this, so Fu Lou stopped and said no more.

At the moment when they stepped into the chaotic stone forest, a miserable howl suddenly came from behind them, and the sound was so loud that it was particularly harsh in this silent ancient forest.

Zhao Zihan subconsciously looked back, but he could only see the shadowy trees, the speed of the three of them was too fast, and they had already thrown Tan Ping away.

Li Qing patted Zhao Zihan on the shoulder, and then followed Fu Lou into the chaotic stone forest.

In the chaotic stone forest, the forest is very cold, the gray stone is cold, and the iron is blue, even if it is vivid, Li Qing and Zhao Zihan do not have the slightest interest in appreciation.

Since entering the woods, the abnormal movement of the Void Essentia has not weakened, and as they go deeper, the Essentia has also strengthened, and now Li Qing has had to divide a part of the Void Essence that his mind uses to suppress the movement in the body, which is used to maintain the stability of the spirit and the balance of the body, but it is Zhao Zihan, I don't know if it is because she is still in the first order, the sequence is too low, and the essentia in the body is too little, and it seems that it has not been affected in the slightest.

Nothing to say all the way.

Walking out of the chaotic stone forest, Li Qing didn't feel anything, but Fu Lou, this man from the Floating Dragon Clan, had a solemn face, as if they had not successfully passed a checkpoint, but had made some serious mistake.

"Two messengers, please wait a moment, I will do a divination."

Under the gaze of Li Qing and Zhao Zihan, Fu Lou held the square minaret with both hands, closed his eyes, and said something in his mouth, accompanied by a slight shaking of his hands, the five-colored paper ribbon hanging on the minaret also swayed, and in a trance, it was actually condensed into a colorful wind, circling around the spire.

I don't know which sentence to read, Fu Lou's hands slammed outward, and the quadrangular spire that had lost its support fell down, dripping on the ground a few times, and finally, the spire pointed steadily to the direction where Li Qing was standing.

"This is ......" Li Qing's pupils shrank slightly, he had always stayed away from this kind of religious mysterious ritual, and the spire pointed at him, and it was common sense for him to be worried.

He didn't ask Fu Lou what this divination ritual represented, this matter obviously involved the secrets of the Floating Dragon Clan, and the relationship between them was obviously not close to this point.

After the abnormal changes in the forest, although Fu Lou still referred to Li Qing and the others as "messengers" and "envoys", his attitude before and after was obviously different.

"I see......"

Fu Lou had a look of exhaustion on his face, he glanced up at Li Qing, bent down to pick up the spire, and said, "Go this way." With that, he stepped past Li Qing and walked in the direction guided by the minaret.

Is it just pointing the way, and I happen to be in the way indicated by the divination...... Li Qing thought in his heart, and looked back at the stone forest he had just passed, his eyes flashed, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.

"Where are we going?" Zhao Zihan asked curiously, looking at the scenery around her that was gradually becoming familiar, she had the intention to deduce with the essentia of the sea of stars, but her strength was low, except for a little faint qi, she couldn't deduce anything else.

Only by getting closer to the truth can Zhao Zihan deduce more things.

But she also knew that they were not spinning around in place or going back, this was indeed the deeper part of Fulong Mountain, the primeval old forest, which was very similar in appearance, and it was normal to feel "familiar".

Fu Lou, who was walking in front of the two of them, explained without looking back: "That chaotic stone forest, it seems to be a road, but in fact there are several different exits, as for which exit to take, it is not something I can decide. ”

Zhao Zihan changed color slightly, but it was Li Qing, who had more experience, and he had already guessed, blurted out, and said:

"Are those stone statues?"

Fu Lou said "um" and continued: "Yes, it is those stone statues in the stone forest that determine our way out, if we encounter more than three beasts, then come out of the chaotic stone forest, and then walk a little way to our camp of the Floating Dragon Clan, and as I said, if you don't encounter any beast-shaped stone statues from beginning to end, the exit of the stone forest is the road to the temple of the gods." ”

"Temple of the Gods?" Li Qing asked, which made him think of the ancient temple in Ningpu and the book "The Legend of the World" that existed in his spiritual world.

He gently touched Zhao Zihan's waist with his hand, believing that she could understand what she meant.

"Yes, Divine Temple, my divination is to find out the right direction so that I don't go to more dangerous places." Fu Lou replied.

At this time, Zhao Zihan glanced up at Li Qing and nodded slightly.

With the precedent of the ancient temple of the Moon Saint in Ningpu, when he really saw the "temple of gods" in Fulou's mouth, Li Qing inevitably had a sense of disparity.

The temple of the gods in front of you is far inferior to the magnificent style of the ancient temple that can be called the "temple" of the moon saint, only the general size of the temple in the ordinary sense, the scattered courtyard, the ancient building of the arch and cornice, is a kind of architectural style that is very different from the ancient Xia period.

The mist that came out of nowhere surrounded the ancient temple.

The light in the ancient temple is dim, the mildew is scattered due to dampness, there are cobwebs on the altar, and the statue of the god is only one person high, perhaps because of the poor workmanship and the erosion of time, the face of the god has been blurred.

Fu Lou said: "Now take a break in the temple, and when the fog clears, it will be time for us to leave." ”
