Chapter Seventy-Six: The Jungle (1) (Something Terrorist)
Reality is always more difficult than imagined, Chu Qing and Xiao Jiu did not go far in the forest, and then they stopped breathlessly, because they had already found that they had given up the flying of the sword, and the huge rattans wrapped around the forest were the biggest trouble, and they had become the makers of the walking rules in the forest.
The two of them looked up, and saw that the whole forest stretched out, and the lush branches and foliage were pale blue, covering the sky and the sun, blocking the bottom tightly, giving people the illusion that it was difficult to fly.
Chu Qing's eyes rolled, swallowed his saliva, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiao Jiu, why is this forest so eerie?"
Xiao Jiu stopped when he heard the sound and said in a low voice: "I also feel this way, I always feel that there is something lurking around us, staring at us. ”
When Chu Qing heard this, she was even more frightened, and looked around in horror unconsciously.
The tense and frightened atmosphere lingered, and it seemed that it had also infected the little fat bear bag, and at this time, it was unusual, huddled tightly, hiding in the cloth bag, and did not dare to move.
Suddenly, the finger wrapping on Chu Qing's wrist emitted a faint clear glow, in such a dark atmosphere, the clear glow was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, as if a person's heart was beating faster due to excitement and nervousness.
Danger is approaching step by step, and even the air seems to be chilling down in an instant.
Chu Qing raised his eyes and saw that a cloud of white mist poured out of Xiao Jiu's snort beside him, the wings on his shoulders trembled quietly, and a pair of bright eyes calmly perceived the surroundings, ready to deal with sudden changes at any time.
Through the dense oblique branches, the two of them saw almost at the same time that behind the dimly lit and low bushes, there were a pair of dark green eyes flickering, and there seemed to be a group of extremely dangerous monsters lurking behind, wanting to move and attack at the same time.
Without waiting for Chu Qing to react, Xiao Jiu, who was standing beside him, looked at him, his right shoulder trembled slightly, and the wings that were originally draped on his shoulders instantly turned into Dao Dao sword feathers, and with a high-pitched sound like a crane chirping, it shot towards it like a dense raindrop.
Along the way, those branches and rattans were broken one after another, and they fell to the ground, and in the dense forest, a circular passage of dozens of zhang long was actually shot.
After a moment's silence, the green eyes behind the low bushes disappeared without a trace, and there was no movement.
Chu Qing and Xiao Jiu glanced at each other, both held their breath, stepped forward, followed the circular passage, and slowly walked inside, but they walked so cautiously, paying attention to everything around them from time to time, even if they accidentally stepped on a branch and made a slight sound, they would stop and confirm carefully.
But along the way, except for the constant sound of stepping on the dead branches under the feet of the two, there was only the slightly heavy breathing of the two people.
In this ancient dense forest, everything seems to have passed out, and there is not a trace of life to be found.
It was a short road, but because of the subtle caution of the two of them, it was an extraordinarily long journey, and time seemed to lag behind in every step of the temptation.
Xiao Jiu followed closely behind Chu Qing and looked at her graceful and slender
's back, in such a dim light, looks so smart. His eyes were full of admiration, like a shy boy who was just beginning to fall in love, secretly admiring the portrait of the girl he had a crush on in no one's place. Looking at it, gradually, in his heart, he actually looked forward to the road under his feet to be longer, and Qing'er to walk more slowly in front.
Naturally, Chu Qing, who was engrossed in all this, walked in front of her, of course, did not notice it at all, she just knew that Xiao Jiu was following behind her, and she was on guard against all movements around her like herself.
After the two of them walked to the bushes, with the soft and faint light around their fingers, Chu Qing checked back and forth, left and right, but did not find a single slush claw, and the pair of strange and dark green eyes disappeared out of thin air.
The two looked at each other, dumbfounded for a moment.
After looking down again, and after confirming that there were no clues, Chu Qing lowered his head, looked at the ground, and said with a slight frown: "Is it our delusion?"
Because of this, Chu Qing didn't notice that Xiao Jiu beside him was looking at him with a fascinated gaze, which was more like discovering some kind of treasure and wanting to take it for himself.
As soon as the words fell, in the distance of the dense forest, dozens of zhang away, there were lights and shadows swaying, and one by one huge figures, slowly rising behind the forest, projecting onto the tight tree trunks, like bears, tigers, and giant apes, their figures kept running back and forth behind the forest.
Chu Qing's heart moved, and his fingers softened into a ray of light, and flew out, bypassing one huge tree after another, shuttling through the forest, tracking towards those lights and shadows.
"Bang Bang Bang"
There were several sounds, and those huge figures were knocked to the ground one by one.
Chu Qing was overjoyed in her heart, glanced at Xiao Jiu, and shouted happily: "It's hit, hurry, let's go over." ”
After speaking, like a cheerful bird, she opened her arms, stepped on the branches, and flew in the forest, and a few of her locks of green silk fluttered in the wind, adding a little handsome.
Chu Qing fell down with a foolproof mood, but the result was stunned, those huge figures who watched them fall down were no longer to be found at this moment, and there was nothing on the ground except dead branches and leaves.
After reading it, Chu Qing was still unwilling, picked up a piece of dead branch, looked at the newly broken incision, and said suspiciously: "Could it be that these are all illusions?"
Xiao Jiu, who followed closely, came back to his senses at this moment, was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand to take the dead branch, looked at the brand-new incision on it, and said, "Illusion?"
Chu Qing looked around, nodded and said, "Just like Brother Feng's bamboo leaves, the light and shadow of those beasts should be transformed by these dead branches." ”
After hearing what Chu Qing said, the corners of Xiao Jiu's mouth moved slightly, as if he was unhappy, but he carefully collected it. He looked at the dead branch for a while, looked up at the sky above the forest, where there were tree trunks standing upright pointing to the night sky, and said to himself, "Who is that who is using illusions to confuse us?"
One sentence reminded Chu Qing, thought about it carefully, and said: "In this way, someone is deliberate."
If we want to waste time here, we can't care about it so much now, Xiao Jiu, why don't we fly with the sword, it will come faster, no matter how big this forest is, there will be an end after all. ”
At this time, Xiao Jiu had already retracted his gaze, lowered his head and kept focusing on the dry branch in his hand, after listening to Chu Qing's words, he squatted down and stuck the dead branch on the ground, then stood up and nodded at Chu Qing.
The two of them didn't say much, their bodies moved, turning into two sword lights, one in front of the other, like two fireflies chasing in the dark night, galloping forward, shuttling all the way through the dense forest, although they didn't know where they were going, but they made up their minds in their hearts, that is, forward, forward, all the way forward.
After flying for about half an hour, I felt that it was far enough, and the two of them fell down together, looking around, but saw that they were still in the deep ancient forest, and there was silence around, through the dim light, looking at the thick fallen leaves under their feet, as if they had been deposited for hundreds of years, so that people did not dare to act rashly, for fear that there would suddenly be some monsters drilled out of there.
Chu Qing tentatively took a small step forward, and there was a soft feeling of comfort under her feet, she looked up at the dark distance, and said lightly: "This forest is so big, I can't tell the direction at all." ”
Xiao Jiu also took a small step forward, suddenly, felt a pain under his feet, as if he had been pierced by something, and when he looked down, it was a piece of dead wood, leaned over to pick it up, and was suddenly shocked, and called out in a lost voice: "Qing'er......"
Chu Qing, who had been concentrating on peeking into the distance in front, heard Xiao Jiu's unusually panicked voice, hurriedly turned around, and immediately fell on the dead branch that Xiao Jiu was holding in his hand, it was a dead branch of an inch in length, there was nothing strange about it, but the newly broken incision at one end of it was clear to him at a glance, it was interrupted by the finger wrapping softly forward, and he couldn't help but lose his face.
Because she also found out that it was the dry branch that Xiao Jiu inserted on the ground before Edgeworth flew, that is to say, the two of them flew for half an hour, and they actually returned to the same place!
Chu Qing stepped forward and took the dead branch from Xiao Jiu's hand, looked it up and down carefully, and muttered: "This, how is this possible, we have obviously been flying forward, could it be that this dead branch can also fly." ”
Xiao Jiu thought for a while, found another dead branch on the ground, squatted down, pulled out the thick layer of fallen leaves, wrote a palm-sized word "Qing" on the exposed dirt floor, and then thrust the dead branch to the side, raised his head and said: "Let's fly again, can't this handwriting written on the ground also fly." ”
Chu Qing began to be puzzled, and when she heard Xiao Jiu say this, her eyes were full of smiles at the moment, and she hurriedly nodded in agreement. The two of them made a little discernment, and finally chose a direction with sparse trunks and branches, and one after the other, Edgeworth flew, but this time he was more careful, and his speed was much slower, and he paid more attention to his surroundings along the way.
There are towering trees in front of them, and one after another quickly retreats behind them, and the endless forest comes into view of the same, just when the two of them mistakenly thought that this time they finally flew away, there was a burst of "cluck" in their ears
In this dim and quiet ancient forest, any sound will be extremely loud, not to mention such a continuous sound, if you listen closely, you will feel as if something has dug up the hard earth from the bottom of the forest, overturned the heavy stones, and slowly stretched out.
Chu Qing, who was almost hovering in the air, glanced at each other, changed directions, looked for the sound, and flew over cautiously.
Through the web-like branches, the two of them saw clearly, there was a towering tree, compared with the surrounding trees, unusually tall, the branches and leaves extended up to the size of acres, not high, the developed root system rose from the ground, like a coiled dragon. Chu Qing felt that it was like an elder in the forest, standing there, as if it was alive, looking at the two people in front of him, as if he really wanted to speak, and asked about the intention of the two.
