After walking for about half an hour, there was still no sign of going out, Sun Xiaofeng and Ah Yan were already exhausted, leaning over and panting constantly.

Ah Yan saw that Dugu Zhishui's face was not red and breathless, and he was surprised: "You...... Your physical strength ...... How is it so good?"

"I've lived in the mountains since I was a child, and I'm used to running. ”

Sun Xiaofeng gasped and said: "The situation is not good, we have only walked for half an hour when we came from the hillside, we ran so fast just now, it stands to reason that we should have returned to the hillside a long time ago." ”

Dugu Zhishui carefully observed the surrounding grass and trees, and only felt that the surrounding environment was extremely similar along the way, and it was difficult to distinguish the direction at all. Suddenly, his ears moved, reminding: "Someone, be careful!"

Ah Yan and Sun Xiaofeng were suddenly excited, and hurriedly raised their weapons to stay on guard. The two of them subconsciously searched around, but they didn't see any clues, so they couldn't help but ask blankly: "Where is there anyone?" Don't scare us. ”

Whoosh!

Dugu Zhishui was about to explain, when suddenly a series of breaking sounds sounded, and a large wave of sharp wooden cones shot out.

"Be careful!" Dugu Zhishui exclaimed.

The three of them were not slow to react, they all raised their swords and slashed to block, the wooden cone was not strong, but there were a lot of them. When Dugu was defending the water, a black light suddenly flashed, accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking the air, which went straight to his heart. Dugu Zhishui snorted coldly, his body twisted strangely, and the long sword in his hand was instantly reversed, and the flying black light was cut in half with one blow. A black-feathered arrow was revealed, and the arrow changed direction and flew to his side, deeply embedded in a tree, its tail shooting into the dirt on the ground.

Blocking this arrow, Dugu Zhishui quickly rushed in one direction, and three black lights shot out, he dodged sideways and continued to move forward, Sun Xiaofeng and Ah Yan didn't react, he had disappeared into a fog, and the two hurriedly chased after him.

In the mist, a black shadow quickly shuttled through the forest, leaving behind a series of sizzling footsteps. Dugu Zhishui firmly locked on the footsteps, he walked like flying, completely unfolded his body, and ran extremely fast.

The black shadow seemed to sense that Dugu Zhishui was following him, his movements were extremely irregular, circling around in the fog, Dugu Zhishui's perception was limited in the fog, and he could not accurately locate the source of the sound, so he could only move forward with his feelings. When he passed between two old trees that were thick with two people hugging each other, he stepped heavily on the ground, and a noose suddenly appeared under the fallen leaves.

Dugu Zhishui was unexpected, and was instantly dragged up by the lasso, he reacted extremely quickly, and almost at the moment when his foot was pulled up, he swung his sword and cut the rope. At the same time as he rolled over and landed, before he could make a move, his feet suddenly emptied, and his body fell down, and he hurriedly swung his sword to his side, which was able to stop the fall of his body.

The dust and smoke cleared, and it turned out that he had fallen into a trap, and the bottom of the trap was densely packed with sharp metal spines.

Dugu stopped the water and jumped back to the ground, but the black shadow had already run away, and the footsteps became very faint. Sun Xiaofeng and Ah Yan didn't follow, and the black shadow was nowhere to be found, so he could only continue to move forward by feeling.

After continuing to walk for a while, Dugu Zhishui found that no matter how he walked, the surrounding environment seemed to be similar. Thinking that the black shadow was able to shuttle freely in this fog just now, and the black shadow was able to accurately determine the location of the three of them in the fog when attacking, Dugu Zhishui suddenly realized that there was probably more than just a layer of fog in this mountain forest, and there might be something else that really made them unable to find their way.

Dugu Zhishui has always vaguely felt that something is wrong, but he can't figure it out. He simply sat down and carefully observed his surroundings, and for now, it seemed that the fog only obscured his vision, shielded his senses, and was not toxic. After sitting for a long time without results, he still had no clue, he got up and patted the dust on his buttocks, thinking that the grass and trees in this place are so sparse, and there are not many trees, even the grass does not grow vigorously, and the highest is only above the ankles. Thinking of this, he was suddenly stunned, the forest on the hillside was still very dense before, and it seemed that the trees had suddenly thinned after coming to this ghost place.

"What can make people get lost? What do people rely on to distinguish the direction when walking?" Dugu Zhishui thought so, and looked at the surrounding environment again, there were four trees within a radius of three zhang, standing irregularly at the four corners.

"Tree, reference!" Dugu Zhishui suddenly remembered that no matter where he went, he could only see four trees around. People rely on reference objects to discern directions when walking, and in this fog, the only thing that can be used as a reference is the tree. When walking along the trees, if the position of the trees changes slightly, the person will not notice it, and it will still feel like it is walking in a straight line, but in fact it is already going in circles.

In order to test his conjecture, Dugu Zhishui decided to close his eyes and walk forward. Due to the limited perception in the fog, relying on hearing is more acute, so he is not afraid of being attacked by others.

After closing his eyes, his concept of time became blurred, and he didn't know how long he had walked, but Dugu Zhishui suddenly felt a huge object not far ahead. He opened his eyes and stepped forward, clearing the layers of fog to reveal a dark red stone wall. You can't see the boundary on the left and right of this stone wall, and you don't know how high it is up. Dugu Zhishui jumped up, he jumped onto the canopy of a tree, and found that the stone wall still couldn't see the upper limit. Then he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to come to the top of the tree to look at it, but he was no longer annoyed, for he found that there was still a white expanse around the top of the tree.

Dugu Zhishui was a little frightened, such a large area of fog is usually rarely known, it is very likely that there is an enchantment here. He jumped down from the top of the tree and began to walk along the stone wall, making marks as he went, and the more he went, the more surprised he became, the stone wall was really big, and he walked for an hour without finding the border. He wondered several times if he was going around in a circle, but there were no signs he had made on the stone wall.

The dark red stone wall is extremely irregular in shape, with many potholes and convex surfaces. It is more like the foot of a mountain than a stone wall, except that the mountain is made of stones, and there is no soil and no greenery.

Dugu Zhishui walked patiently along the stone wall, curious about how big this huge barrier really was. The sky was getting dark, and due to the fog, the forest was already underlit, and it was already pitch black at the moment, so he could only move forward by touching the stone wall in the dark.

Beyond the mist, Han Li and the Hunter Captain stood one after the other, the pitch-black jungle like the monstrous jaws of a giant beast, as if it would swallow the two of them at any moment. Looking at the setting sun, the captain of the hunters asked, "My lord, it is getting dark, do you want to spend the night here today?"

Han Li stood with his hands in his hands, he stared at the pitch-black mysterious jungle in front of him, and felt an indescribable force that was attracting him to explore forward. "The handwriting of the predecessors is really extraordinary"

Receiving no response, the captain of the hunter stared at the figure standing in front of him, the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes twitched quickly, and a light flashed in his eyes.

"Don't worry, it's not dark enough......" Han Li said suddenly.

......

"I can't see anything. In the darkness, Ah Yan's voice sounded suddenly.

"It's not a way to just stay like this," Sun Xiaofeng responded.

"I don't know where that guy went. ”

"He's fine, judging by his performance in the previous attacks, he's not weak. ”

......

Dugu Zhishui touched the stone wall all the way forward, and at a certain moment his hands suddenly emptied, he suddenly stiffened, and then carefully groped with both hands, and his side was already empty. He blew a fire breaker, and a faint flame illuminated a small area around him, and he found that the stone wall had come to an abrupt end, and he continued to walk a little further, and the stone wall reappeared, as if it had been cut by someone.

He continued along the small canyon, and the more he walked, the more he felt that his vision was getting wider and wider, and the fog seemed to be thinning. Until he saw a white halo in front of him, he walked forward quickly, and his vision through the halo suddenly opened up.

This is a large valley, surrounded by steep stone walls, and the whole valley is like a giant bowl, and the place where Dugu stops water is like a small gap in the edge of this huge bowl. From where he was, he could look down on the entire valley. Night had fallen, and a crescent moon hung high above the heavens. The valley is extremely bright, and you can see that the vegetation is lush and dotted with scattered buildings.

"Is there a house here?" Dugu Zhishui couldn't help but be surprised, and then he was stunned, he actually saw a light in a building. He went down into the valley and walked towards the house where the light came through......

Gu Boqing is a hunter, at least in the eyes of outsiders. However, he was never a qualified hunter, and Zeng Kui said that his character was too weak to see bloody scenes. When he goes out hunting, he often only plays the role of a handyman, and being able to help without help is Zeng Kui's highest requirement for him. However, what made Zeng Kui often grit his teeth was that even with such low requirements, he couldn't do it. Zeng Kui's hard-fought prey will be secretly let go by him in three days, and what's more, when he sees the cub, he is like seeing his own son, and never lets Zeng Kui touch it, and the appearance of defense is just like Zeng Kui is his Gu Boqing's feud.

grew up in an isolated paradise, due to the withering of the family, and some of the clansmen couldn't stand the bleak life in the deep mountains and moved out, by Gu Boqing's generation, he had become a lone seedling. When he was a child, the small animals in this valley were Gu Boqing's only playmates.

His mother died young, his father was missing, and Gu Bo buried his mother with his own hands when he was a teenager, and his mother warned him not to trust outsiders before she died. He lived alone in the valley until one day he picked up a burly young man covered in blood at the entrance. There was a hideous crack between the young man's chest and abdomen, which seemed to have been cut alive by the claws of the beast.

Gu Boqing hesitated for a long time, and finally felt a pang in his heart, telling himself that this person would die, and saving him was just to have peace of mind, so he saved the burly young man. Gu Boqing really felt that it was impossible for young people to survive, but God was sometimes very willful, some people would die but would not let him die, and some people wanted to live but couldn't. After being in a coma for half a month, the burly young man miraculously woke up. This young man is Zeng Kui, he is Gu Boqing's first and only friend.

Since then, Gu Boqing's monotonous life has become more colorful. Zeng Kui took him to the outside world, and he saw many strange things. Zeng Kui was a native hunter whose village was in a small ravine not far from the city of Anping. Zeng Kui has no culture, and the little ink in his stomach is not enough to support him to write his name. However, Gu Boqing didn't care about this, although he had read poetry and books since he was a child, he didn't feel that his world was much different from Zeng Kui.
