Chapter 173: A Fork in the Road

"What are you talking about!!" I shouted as I jumped up uncontrollably and slammed into the top of the tunnel with a thud.

The pain made my eyes black for a while, and I reached out to touch it, afraid that it had been broken. I didn't feel any blood, but it seemed like there was something stumbling around on my hand, and I shook my hand, but I didn't care, and I didn't care.

I ran to Forget Yan, who was lying in Kazama's arms, his face like gold leaf, his eyes closed.

Kazama had completely lost his claim, and his big eyes were distracted, and he shouted at me in a dumb voice, "Meiyi...... Kindness...... What to do!What to do...... Forget about him, his teeth are too tight, there is no way to put the pill under his tongue......"

"After several unsuccessful attempts, somehow, the pill seemed to melt, softened and grew in the palm of the hand, and gradually gave birth to a body and wings, like a bird, and before we could react, the 'bird' fluttered and flew up!"

I turned my head to look at my brother, who nodded and said, "The dark red bird you saw just now was indeed transformed by the pill of Forget Yan Jun—there are too many strange things in this tunnel. ”

"That's right! Danmaru turned into a bird is unbelievable enough, did you see the arm that snatched the bird just now......? It's light blue! Someone's arms are light blue!" Jicheng has always been timid, and he couldn't help but look around as he spoke.

"Who told you that it was a 'human' arm!" Luo Ying said disdainfully.

"Please, don't ...... again," Kazama interrupted suddenly.

"Don't worry, I'll go chase that 'little bird' back now, you take care of it and forget it—it'll be fine. I squeezed out a smile and gave Kazama some encouragement.

"Nice. My brother called me softly.

"Brother, don't worry, I'm the 'king' life, which time is not to save the day? Brother stayed to take care of them...... He, I don't quite believe it. I said and glanced at Luoying.

"'King's Order'?" you simply say that you are 'God's Order'!" Luo Ying mocked.

I ignored him, and looked at him again before turning around - I won't let you die, I want you to open your eyes and tell me in person, "Why do I have to die?" and "But" what do you want to turn after that.

"Zixia, one stays, and the other follows me. I commanded at the two flames.

A flame "swished" in front of my head and gave me direction.

There was only one path in front of me, and I ran deeper into the tunnel.

"Meiyi......" the elder brother raised his voice, "Be careful." ”

I glanced back as I ran, and my brother was standing beside Wangyan, the flames fluttering over his head, enveloping him in a small shadow.

I looked at it, and I don't know if it was the light or something else, but the top of my brother's head seemed to have some gray hair, reflecting a faint silver light in the firelight.

My brother has gray hair? Like a patriarch who forgot to speak, his face is dusty and gray-haired?

How can it be?

My brother is a blood clan, and he is eternally seventeen years old like a beautiful flower, how can he give birth to Huafa?

I must have lost my eyes.

Just as I was thinking about it in my heart, I suddenly heard a familiar voice: "Don't pay attention to the beauty of righteousness, and don't call us to go together!"

I was overjoyed in my heart, and when I looked left and right, Jicheng and the sea of paintings had caught up with me and stood side by side with me.

"Go together, go together!" said Hua Haikou, "You are always a lonely hero, and there is no place for us!"

"Yes, when I return to the Holy Star Castle, the Holy King asks, hey, it turns out that so many troubles have been solved by good intentions, so what do you want to do as the new king candidates, and reward you for all of them!" Jicheng said with a smile and a half-truth.

"Jicheng-kun!" my sister was instantly annoyed and shouted at Jicheng.

Jicheng stuck out his tongue and said no more.

I was thinking about my life that I forgot to say, and although I was accompanied by Jicheng and my sister, I didn't have the heart to say much. The three of them fell silent and hurried away in the flickering firelight.

Strangely, there was no trace of the "pale blue arm" along the way, and there was no faint laughter and giggles.

We walked on and on, and we came to a fork in the road.

This is the first fork we encounter after entering the tunnel, and there are three forks. By the light of the flames, the three of us looked closely, but it seemed that every fork in the road was almost identical, and there was nothing special about it, all leading to a swarthy distance.

"Meiyi, take out the map. Huahai patted me on the shoulder and said.

Yes, I forgot that Xiao Nai's burden is still tied to my back.

I opened the baggage, a few pieces of clothing, a small comb, a round mirror, a long dark yellow box, and a cigarette-yellow soft cloth, and nothing else.

That's all Xiao Nai left behind.

I was sad for a while, and I was about to speak, but I found that my voice was so choked that I couldn't speak.

"Let's see if we can find this fork in the road on the map. Jicheng took the soft cloth empathetically and said softly.

I took a deep breath and looked at the map with the two of them.

It's useless to stay where you are, to be scared or sad. Whether it's gritting your teeth or tearing your lungs, only when you get things done is true bravery.

Who said this to me?

Who else, in those long years of sleep, every word my brother read to me, after waking up, turned into oars, and I rowed hard to cross one dangerous shoal after another.

"Is it here?" asked my sister, pointing to a small dot on the soft cloth map.

We leaned over – this should be it.

According to the map, the correct choice for this three-way intersection is the one on the left.

The three of us glanced at each other and headed towards the leftmost road.

"We're crazy!" Hua Hai suddenly shouted, "What are we doing? Obviously we are going to retrieve the pill that has turned into a little bird and save the forgetful words, how did it become that we are looking for a way to the ancient country of the elves that have been annihilated?"

I was so ashamed that I couldn't speak.

Yes, the right way to the ancient elven country does not mean that the path chosen by the "light blue arm" with the dark red bird, am I lost my mind or what's wrong, I actually forgot to say it!

"It's really weird! Why did I forget all about my words in an instant, and I only thought about how to find the right path, but I completely forgot to find the pill and save the words! It's my fault. "Jicheng honestly reviewed.

"Oh, don't talk about so many yes and no, anyway, this tunnel leads all the way here, and the 'light blue arm' can only choose one of these three forks!

Somehow, my eyes were drawn to the middle path, and my feet involuntarily walked towards it.

"Why, is this one?" asked Yoshijo.

"I don't know, but it's like there's something pulling me along the way. I said.

"Oh, when you say that, I seem to feel this way, I'm like a kite, and the master is reeling in the line. Jicheng said, with a bewildered and apprehensive face.

"Me too. Huahai stared at the road in the middle, three simple words, and his face tightened.

"That'...... Shall we choose the middle way?" asked Jicheng tentatively.

Okay or no?

Since all three of us have the feeling of being "pulled", it means that the middle road is definitely not ordinary, but not ordinary does not mean that it is the road we should take? And there is really no clue to the "light blue arm" and the bird.

The thought of forgetting words is still waiting for us to go back to save our lives, and my heart is like a fire, and it hurts unbearably.

"No!" Hua Hai said solemnly: "The three of us all feel the power of involvement, and considering the strangeness of this tunnel and the weirdness of the 'light blue arm', it can only mean one thing: the road in the middle must be a trap!

"But sister," I said as I thought about it, "if it's really a trap, then it's not surprising why the 'light blue arm' intercepted the bird that Danmaru had turned into." ”

"Bait?" asked Yoshijo.

"Well," I nodded, "the 'light blue arm' snatched the bird away to lure us into the bait, and now we feel the same pull, which radiates from the middle of the road, so we know that it is a trap, because the person who set the trap must be on this road, and the bird must be with this person." ”

"Meiyi makes sense, what we are afraid of is not a trap, what we are afraid of is not to find the pill that forgets to say!"

"Let me think again. Hua Hai frowned.

"I'm afraid...... I can't hold it out. I whispered.

"Meiyi!" Hua Hai suddenly snorted: "Have you ever thought that although the 'light blue arm' and the one who set the trap are the same group, they are not the same, the former lures the enemy, and the latter captures ...... The trap and the bird are not necessarily on the same road!"

"If it's not on the same road, then do you still consider the road on the far left that leads to the ancient kingdom of the elves?" asked Yoshijo.

"Basically not considered. Hua Haidao: "Looking at the 'light blue arm', it doesn't seem to have a relationship with the elves, and no one knows that we are going to the ancient country of the elves, so that road can be ignored." ”

"Then let's do it," Jicheng said: "Because I'm afraid that there will be a trap in the middle of the road and trap us, let's choose the rightmost road first, if it doesn't work, quickly pull back, and then take the middle road, how about it?"

"Yes. I rushed to say.

The elder sister did not speak, nodded, and removed the little golden ring from her head that was tied between her hair, and made something on the stone wall at the fork in the road.

When I took a closer look, it was the word "meaning".

"Meiyi, you are a blessed general, engrave your name here, and when we turn back, we will not lose our way. Huahai said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go. "I took the lead on the far right side of the fork in the road.

Jijo and Huahai quickly followed.

The dark tunnels have become narrower and narrower, and the damp stone walls are cold and slippery, almost impossible to touch.

The three of us couldn't walk side by side, so we had to line up vertically, with the painting sea in front, the city in the back, and I in the middle.

I kept walking, but I didn't dare to speak, for fear that someone would hear and fall into passivity.

The flames floated, like a ghost fire, sometimes bright and sometimes dark.

I stared at the back of my sister's head, and there was a shadow of light on her head and back, teeth and claws.

The fear and depression in my heart are gradually accumulating.

Someone tapped me very lightly on the shoulder.

"Who?!" I exclaimed.

"Shhh......h

"How do I know? I haven't been here!" I whispered, my heart pounding with fright.

"Stop!" said a low voice.

Jicheng and I hurriedly stopped our feet.

"Meiyi, let the flames come and shine on this place. Huahai commanded softly.

The flames drifted in the direction of the painted sea.

Yoshiro and I also rushed over.

Under the light of the flames, the finger of the painted sea is pointing at a stone wall.

Closer, on the stone wall, there is a "meaning" word engraved upright.

"Oh! We're coming out! We're back at the fork in the road!" Jishiro's voice was low, a little delighted.

Fork in the road. Situ.

I slowly turned my head and looked towards the fork in the road, and I was so frightened that I held my breath.
