The night is like water.
At night under the dense forest, there is almost no light.
Everyone nested in the tree hole and soon fell asleep, snoring one after another.
Luo Yuan was alert for a while, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual nearby, he closed his eyes and began to look inward as usual. He gathered his will and carefully scanned every corner of the body, every tiny tissue, and even the flowing fluids. The blood was not spared either. Now such behavior has become a homework that he has to complete every day.
Especially when he found that his Zhanma Sword was almost becoming a legendary magic weapon under the influence of his will, he became even more active.
Sometimes he thought that maybe his body was as spiritual as the Zhanma sword. Even if someone cut off his arm, it did not mean that the arm was out of his control. Just like the legendary monster, he can control a broken arm to fly up and then reattach it to his body without even a drop of blood being shed.
But these were just speculations, and he didn't dare to try it like this.
The night wind blew slowly, and the woods made rustling sounds from time to time. Suddenly, he seemed to feel an inexplicable throbbing. Luo Yuan suddenly woke up. He looked at his body cross-legged at the entrance of the tree hole, and his face changed drastically. He realized that he didn't know I fell asleep unconsciously.
The inner vision and fantasy I had before were just dreams.
A chill rose from his heart and spread throughout his body, and he suddenly became alert.
The surroundings were eerily quiet. Except for the rustling of the woods, there was no sound at all. He looked back at the others, and they were still sleeping soundly!
"Wake up! Wake up! Stop sleeping!"
Luo Yuan called softly a few times, but there was no response. Although his voice was very soft, in this dangerous and unpredictable wilderness, a group of people had to half-open their eyes even if they fell asleep, let alone At this time someone warned, they had obviously entered a deep sleep.
With a solemn expression on his face, he grabbed the sword that was stuck in front of him and seemed to want to stand up, but after thinking for a moment, he sat down again.
There is no sign of any trouble outside. Apart from making people fall asleep unconsciously, it has not caused any harm to anyone so far. Moreover, everyone is now as deep as a slumber. Even the two mutant beasts outside have not moved. Without the slightest ability to protect himself, he went out rashly, regardless of whether he could find the enemy. If he was taken advantage of while he was away, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Now we can only cope with the ever-changing situation by remaining unchanged.
I don't know when, a mist filled the forest, and the mist became bigger and bigger. It was as light as gauze at the beginning, and gradually became as thick as milk as time went by. In this harsh environment, even his eyesight could not see objects ten meters away.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and his sleepiness was getting thicker and thicker. His eyelids gradually became heavy, and his eyes became sleepy and hazy. He felt that everything around him became shaky and became a double image. The sleepiness was It was so intense that he wished he could close his eyes immediately and fall into a deep sleep. In fact, with his physique, he would not feel sleepy even if he did not sleep for three days and three nights, but at this time, the sleepiness was like a gangrene attached to the bones and could not be driven away no matter what.
He rubbed his face vigorously, stood up, and kept walking around. It seemed to have some effect at first, and he became more alert, but soon it failed again, and his body seemed to want to fall asleep uncontrollably.
In the end, he couldn't bear it any longer, so he took out a clean piece of "Wailing Grass" and put it into his mouth, chewing it slowly. As the severe pain spread, his body's sleepiness was finally relieved.
… … …
He was woken up by the heat, and when he opened his eyes, the sun was almost noon.
He spit out a bunch of grass leaves from his mouth, which was the "wailing grass" that he hadn't had time to swallow yesterday. His face was as dark as water. He had forgotten how he fell asleep yesterday, but it should have been in the early morning. Maybe it was just a slight relaxation of his will that made him confused.
Unexpectedly, I fell asleep almost until noon.
Thinking about it, I feel a little scared. Fortunately, the environment here is special. Otherwise, I might have capsized in the gutter.
Looking at the time, it was already close to ten o'clock. He walked out of the grotto and secretly checked all the nearby plants and minerals. He found nothing unusual. He frowned and felt as if a huge stone was weighing on his heart.
It would be fine if the reason for this kind of sleepiness was due to the unique bad environment here. Apart from letting people sleep, there is no danger after all. The most terrifying thing is that this ability is produced by some kind of terrifying mutant beast.
If it's the latter, it's almost mind-numbing to think about.
He is very confident in his hearing, but he has not heard any movement from yesterday to now. This means that if there is really a terrifying mutant beast entrenched in this forest, it is definitely ten kilometers away. Activity.
With such a long distance, the ability it radiates can actually affect Luo Yuan, which is simply beyond his imagination. Maybe he can't even get close to "it".
He kept thinking wildly, and it took him a long time to recover from his trance.
He quickly woke up the others.
This time everyone woke up quickly. They were surprised when they saw the sky, and then became panicked. Since the end of the world, everyone usually goes to bed at seven or eight o'clock and gets up at five or six o'clock. They have already formed a habit. , this is the first time I got up so late.
"Did something happen last night?" Huang Jiahui asked Luo Yuan.
Luo Yuan shook his head and said solemnly: "Actually, I just got up, but we can't stay here anymore. Let's leave here as soon as possible."
Seeing that even Luo Yuan had been hit, everyone's expressions changed drastically, knowing that the matter was serious.
Luo Yuan walked out of the tree hole and kicked two giant beasts that were also attacked to wake up. The team quickly started again. Under constant urging, the giant lizards continued to speed up. The atmosphere along the way seemed a bit silent, and they hurried on.
"What time is it?" Cao Lin suddenly asked after an unknown amount of time.
"Three o'clock!" Huang Jiahui looked at the time and said.
"So I've been running for almost five hours, and this forest is too big!" Huo Dong said subconsciously.
Luo Yuan frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong, but he didn't dare to confirm it. Time passed slowly, and the sun began to set again. He couldn't help but look at the time. It was already five o'clock.
"Stop!" he shouted coldly.
Following the order, the monitor lizard stopped quickly.
"Luo Yuan, what's wrong?" Zhao Yali asked in panic, as if she felt something was wrong.
"We seem to keep going in circles!" Luo Yuan said solemnly: "The terrain here is flat. At the speed of the giant lizard, we can run four to five hundred kilometers in such a long time. Add in the distance we ran yesterday, and we have already run nearly six It’s seven hundred kilometers, and even Jiangnan Province can traverse such a long distance.”
Luo Yuan then took out the tree bark with the sketch: "And if you look at this map, there are mountains nearby. The farthest distance is no more than a hundred kilometers, but until now, we haven't encountered it yet. It illustrates a problem, we have been going around in circles.”
ps: I've been feeling a little weak recently and have been in the hospital. I'm really sorry.
