Suddenly in the forest, from a distance, the extremely tall thorny bushes completely encircled the gray minaret castle in the middle.

Shen Mubai stood on the high stone, looking at the clusters of iron thorns in the distance, sharp and shining with cold light, as if he was expelling all outsiders who wanted to invade.

There was not a single path leading to the thorn-entangled tall building, and occasionally a few giant pythons showed their snake heads, spat out the tips of their red tongues, and their golden eyes looked at the prying people from time to time.

A crow flew by, a hoarse and piercing chirping bird screeching across the dim canopy, and then staggered to a ground on a dead branch, combing its feathers while looking at nearby players with red eyes.

Something rustled in the black iron thorn bushes, like danger lurked inside.

Shen Mubai thought of Su Yi's unconscious feet, his eyes darkened, and he always felt that she would not stay there in peace, and then glanced at Ye Yan, he immediately understood and followed behind Shen Mubai.

As Ye Yan walked, he looked behind him with a slight pale face, only to feel that something was staring at them here, after all, it was not strange for the copy to appear.

But looking at Shen Mubai, who had a calm face in front of him, he quietly grabbed the strap of his backpack again, determined that if there was any danger later, he would run faster, and he couldn't drag the big guy back.

But the process of walking was a bit boring, so Ye Yan asked softly about Shen Mubai's past: "Big guy Shen...... Brother Shen, where are you from? Do you have any younger siblings in your family? Why did you get into the game? ”

Shen Mubai trampled the weeds blocking the way under his feet, and only began to think about it when he heard Ye Yan's question, but when he had a memory, it was in the dungeon, except for the ghost with a blurred face, and the player who had a miserable death.

So, he simply replied: "I don't remember." ”

Ye Yan thought that this kind of big guy had probably gone through many copies, and he might have forgotten it a long time ago, but thinking that he was so powerful that he hadn't saved enough points to go out, he had a little less hope for his resurrection.

They soon came to the Iron Thorn Bush, but there was a swamp around them, emitting the smell of blood and an unknown stench, and the air around them was a little humid, easily reminiscent of the weather after a rainstorm.

Shen Mubai looked at the thorn bushes that covered the sky and the sun, and suddenly remembered the story of Sleeping Beauty, and inexplicably felt like a knight who had tried to save the princess in a thousand difficulties.

Then he retracted his thoughts, crouched down, and poked the soft soil with the broken branch, feeling a kind of attraction pulling the branch down.

He calmly let the branches sink a little bit, and then pulled the branches up with a lot of force!

A dirty, thin, shriveled hand was pulled up, but the moment it touched the air, it quickly retracted, and at the same time let out a miserable and strange cry.

Ye Yan had been staring at his movements from the side, and when he saw the scene just now, his heartbeat almost stopped: "That, what is that?" Ghosts? ”

Shen Mubai threw the branch on the ground, and his dark pupils quietly looked at the thick tree next to him: "As you can see, and there may be more than one underneath." ”

Ye Yan swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and looked at the swamp that was as wide as a small lake, a little timid.

But he quickly looked at Shen Mubai, who seemed to have an idea: "Then, how should we get over?" ”

He turned his head, and the figure standing in the darkness was not very obvious, and his grim face was half hidden, half illuminated by a faint light.

"Do you know how to climb trees?"

Ye Yan looked at the trees taller than the two of him, and gritted his teeth: "Will ...... a little"

No, you have to do it, otherwise you can only leave him? After all, now we can regroup.

Shen Mubai obviously sensed that his words were insincere, so he kindly tied himself to him with nearby vines, so that even if his feet slipped, he could pull him up.

But if you accidentally fall into the swamp, it will be difficult to save yourself.

Shen Mubai didn't have this kind of worry, if the situation was critical, he still had a dagger.

Then they climbed the tree with difficulty, but the difficulty was only to describe Ye Yan, Shen Mubai quickly climbed to a high place, and even Ye Yan was forced to follow him.

"Shall we jump over?"

Seeing that he suddenly didn't move, Ye Yan breathed a sigh of relief and asked suspiciously.

Shen Mubai turned his head sideways, his long crow-colored eyelashes were thick and dense, casting a shadow on his cold white face, but the words he said startled Ye Yan: "Someone." ”

He immediately looked towards Shen Mubai's line of sight, and saw three players below riding a wooden boat, struggling to row over.

Ye Yan suspected that they had used props, otherwise it would be impossible not to sink: "So we have to wait for them to go first?" ”

Shen Mubai didn't blink: "They can't get by." ”

Ye Yan didn't ask why, because in the next second, several pairs of hands slowly climbed onto the hull, and one player found out and smashed it with a wooden plank, but it didn't have any effect except to provoke them.

Soon, the boat was caught, and they also fell into the swamp in a panic.

They used props to protect themselves in the cover, but instead of floating, the mud creatures surrounded them, like toys, pulling them into the dark abyss little by little.

Ye Yan saw a cold sweat behind his back, but Shen Mubai had already shifted his gaze and looked at the dead tree opposite.

More and more crows have gathered on it.

"They've seen it."

Ye Yan was stunned by this sentence, and then saw Shen Mubai take out a lighter and take out a bottle from his backpack...... Wine?

As soon as he wanted to ask what this was for, he saw a black crow in front of him flying towards them in an instant, sprinting straight towards them!

And Shen Mubai just lit the lighter very calmly and took a small sip of wine, during which his hands did not tremble.

Then, when the crow at the front flew in front of him, he suddenly spewed out the wine, and the flames rushed towards the crows, and the instantly charred corpses fell into the swamp and were slowly swallowed by the earth.

Ye Yan looked at this terrible scene, and goosebumps rose.

He was just about to ask himself if he wanted to try it too, but the crows attacked again, and they all attacked Shen Mubai very purposefully, as if they were holding a grudge.

Ye Yan was a little anxious, and suddenly remembered that the crow was afraid of noise, so he hurriedly took out the fireworks bomb in the schoolbag.

At first, I thought it could be used for lighting, but now it comes in handy.

He quickly lit the fireworks, counted that the time was almost up, and shouted at Shen Mubai: "Brother Shen, lower your head!" ”

Then the fireworks bomb was thrown out by him, and the moment it collided with the crows, it suddenly exploded, and the colorful light and black crows quickly turned into a pile of unknown things and fell.

Many of the crows were on fire, and they couldn't fly if they wanted to, and they were eventually pulled down by those weird withered hands.

Seeing that the crow returned to the dead branch in fear, Ye Yan breathed a sigh of relief, his head was covered with sweat, and the hair on his temples was also wet and sticky to his cheeks.

Shen Mubai saw his frightened appearance, and rarely praised him: "It's a good job." ”

Ye Yan came back to his senses and showed a shy smile.

At last they crossed the swamp safely along the thick trunks of the trees, and the moment they landed, the crows in the surrounding trees were startled and flew away as if they were dodging.

Ye Yan habitually wanted to ask what to do next, so he met a pair of golden eyes, and his cold gaze made him freeze in place instantly.

*

Su Yi, who was trapped in the high-rise castle, was still sitting on the bed, with no items around him that could act as crutches, the table was too far away, and the walls were too slippery to support the point at all.

She wanted to get out of here at first, after all, she was a lamb to the slaughter!

But when he saw the overwhelming vines and iron thorns, as well as the pythons that surrounded the castle and the mist that could not reach in the distance, he silently dispelled his thoughts.

If you really want to go out, maybe this mission can be declared a failure.

At this moment, a giant python slowly poked into its snake head through the window, its huge yellow eyes were bigger than a stone mill, the crimson snake hyacinth hissed, and the black snake scales were like beautiful black gems.

But Su Yi immediately clutched the pistol in his hand, his eyes cold.

…… Oops, she's not going to be food for this snake, is she?

As if not seeing her vigilance, the black snake crawled in slowly, its long body almost blocking the light in the room, casting a huge black shadow.

After staring at Su Yi for two or three seconds, the black snake continued to crawl towards her, but Su Yi did not feel its intention to attack, so he had to endure the rejection in his bones and wanted to see what it did.

Then the tail of the black snake circled Su Yi, as if he had found an unknown treasure, and hid it happily, and the snake's head circled around her, not spitting out snake letters, but still did not show sharp teeth.

Su Yi affirmed his conjecture, and his body slowly relaxed.

Then, she thought of a way to act, so she tentatively reached out and touched the black snake's body.

But her eyes were still fixed on its every move, and she would withdraw her hand if something was wrong.

The black snake not only felt disgusted, but also leaned over the snake's head as if it was very happy, so Su Yi had no choice but to turn his hand and touch its head, which was cold and quite easy to touch.

She touched it, and strangely felt like she was grooming her pet...... If it can be obedient all the time, then the next operability will be great.

But then it was really to her surprise, the black snake was very docile, as if he knew her, not only could understand her, but also find something for her.

But it seems to have a playful nature, such as sending her snow-white finger bones, delicate quills, skull-shaped bookmarks, and dusty books, which she can't read yet.

So the bed was filled with a whole bunch of strange things.

But it felt that it was doing a good job, so it would ask Su Yi to reward it, and Su Yi, who had nothing, had no choice but to look at the small flower outside the window and wrap it around the vines.

So Su Yi made a garland for it, beckoned again, beckoned the black snake, and put the wreath on the tip of its thick tail - no way, the flower is too small to make a big wreath.

But the black snake was still very happy, the snake's tail was raised high, consciously not to let the garland fall, and then went out to swim a few laps, and when he came back, he brought her a dress.

I don't know where it came from, maybe it was a wardrobe in a room in the castle.

Su Yi originally didn't want to change it, but the black snake began to "splash and roll", insisting that she accept her gift.

So she had to change into this dress with a pile of gems hanging on it—it looked good, but it looked more like a princess in captivity.

Just as she was getting dressed, there was the sound of things being broken outside.

Someone's coming.

Su Yi's smile disappeared immediately, and the black snake also looked out vigilantly, and the snake tail did not forget to carefully place the garland on the bed.

Su Yi touched its snake tail: "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

She hoped it was Shen Mubai, but it might not be.

Always be prepared.
