Chapter 23: The Big Tree and the Little Pool
The forest is still the same forest, but there are only a few people missing, and the three people in the mist don't know that this fog that has been here for a long time has begun to move slowly at some point, not spreading, but heading towards the depths of the forest!
It's a very weird, moving fog, but maybe it's not fog!
............
Chen Mo was still taking his sister to approach the strange tree, but the tree seemed to be moving slowly, although it was not fast, but it still made Chen Mo feel difficult, not only because of the injury, but also because of the terrain, endless, bleak desert, revealing a deep sense of despair!
There were several times when Chen Mo wanted to give up, because if he continued like this, he and his sister would be consumed to death sooner or later, and after looking at the road, there was nothing but the desert!
Chen Mo, whose eyes were even redder, finally decided not to chase the strange tree that would stop at some point.
"Xi'er, are you okay?" asked Chen Mo with a somewhat weak breath.
"I'm fine, brother, aren't we going to chase that tree?" said Tanabata, licking his dry lips.
"Hmm," Chen Mo whispered. Seeing that my sister was a little distressed, and the injuries in her body were almost uncontrollable! They had been chasing this strange tree for three days, and they hadn't eaten or drunk, which was really too difficult for the two children!
"By the way, do you still have a voice calling for help in your head?" Chen Mo suddenly remembered this matter, they dared to break in because of that summoning!
Qixi shook his little head and said, "No, since I walked into the fog, the voice hasn't sounded again." ”
It seems that they stopped, and the strange tree that had been moving in front of them also stopped!
Chen Mo, who was thinking about how to get out, suddenly found that the strange tree had stopped, and immediately jumped up, and couldn't help but burst into a foul "I'm damned"
The tree, which had been at a constant speed for three days, had stopped, and he thought it was ......
Qixi was taken aback by his brother's sudden move, and looked at his brother, very puzzled. I wonder if my brother is hungry and stupid!
Qixi was frightened by his own thoughts, and hurriedly snorted twice, my brother is so smart, he will never be stupid.
Well, he seemed to be very satisfied with his explanation, and Qixi smiled stupidly at Chen Mo.
"What are you smiling at? look!" Chen Mo saw his sister
The sister was stunned, pointing in the direction of the tree, and was excited!
Only then did Tanabata react, turned his head to look, and was surprised to find that the strange tree had stopped, but did he need to be so excited!
Is it really stupid, Qixi thought of this, and immediately looked at Chen Mo with a worried face.
Chen Mo suddenly found his sister's gaze and patted Qixi's little head, "What do you think, your brother is not stupid, I have thought of a way to get out!"
Just now, he suddenly thought that the tree would move and stop on its own, maybe he could communicate, and then think of the previous call for help, although he didn't know what was going on, but he had roughly thought that it might be that the tree wanted to take them to the place where the helper was.
So when they stopped, the tree stopped, and now the problem is that he doesn't want to save it, but he is sure, if he says that he can't save it, it will be impossible to let him out!
"Brother, brother......" Qixi saw that his brother stopped talking, and he was at a loss for a while!
Chen Mo woke up, touched Qixi's head, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and said with a light smile: "Xi'er, you should be tired, come, brother carries you, let's go back!"
Qixi was a little puzzled, but he still obediently lay on Chen Mo's back, Chen Mo did this, of course, to show the strange tree, although he didn't know where to go back, but he just wanted to see what the strange tree would do!
Just turned around and took two steps, Chen Mo suddenly raised his head, opened his mouth wide, and a towering giant tree appeared out of thin air in front of him, which really covered the sky and the sun, like a hill!
And before Chen Mo could wake up, the giant tree stretched out his endless branches and leaves, instantly sweeping and wrapping the two brothers and sisters into a small green ball, of course, this is for the giant tree!
Chen Mo still wanted to struggle, but he heard his sister's voice, "Brother, it doesn't seem to have malicious intent!"
Although he couldn't see Tanabata, he knew that his sister's eyes must be big and flickering at this time.
He stopped struggling!
Inside the giant tree, the green elf saw this scene clearly, looked at Qixi, and muttered: "Are you the person it is looking for?" It seems that he is also infected by Qixi Festival, and can't help but want to get closer!
But then he calmed down, looking at the brother and sister, there was no sadness or joy!
The speed of the green elves is very fast, but Chen Mo and they don't feel the slightest, they just feel like someone is watching them!
The deepest part of the forest, this is almost a forbidden area for humans, and it is also shrouded in fog, but the fog here is very light, and you can see that there is no vegetation in the fog, and it is extremely desolate! It is very similar to the scene that Chen Mo saw in the illusion, but at this time, a figure stood in the center with his head bowed, and he looked down because he was looking, looking at the deep sea-like pool, but all he could see was his own reflection!
The waterhole is not big, the strange thing is that it does not have a trace of fluctuation, the water surface is like a mirror, and many things can be clearly reflected, such as the one-armed old man who is watching it intently at this time!
After a long time, the old man said coldly, "You want to break the contract?"
It was so quiet that no one answered him, until the old man was about to get impatient of waiting, and a voice came from under the pool, "Did you have the problem first?"
As the voice sounded, a human face seemed to emerge under the water, and it seemed to be on the waterhole like the old man, but there was only one person on the pool, and the best explanation was that the water surface changed from a mirror to glass!
It's a little weird, the old man looked at the faces under the waterhole and smiled contemptuously, "I've raised you for so long, can you still rebel, now it's time for you to play your role in honoring your master!"
Hearing the old man's words, the underwater human face began to become distorted and gradually blurred. However, when it disappeared, a decisive voice came out: "Don't you think!"
When the old man heard this, as if he had expected him to say this, his eyes narrowed slightly, giving people a very dangerous feeling.
