"I also feel a little weird. Maybe the environment here is similar, and it's like being in a maze." Captain Xia also said with an ugly face.
Seeing everyone's panic, Luo Yuan consoled him: "Fortunately, we discovered it early, otherwise I might have to stay here overnight again. I'll go to the top of the tree to check the direction first. I should be able to get out of this forest soon."
Luo Yuan chose the largest tree nearby. He used his hands and feet to climb to the top of the tree in a few breaths. The tree was more than a hundred meters high. Standing on the top of the tree, he only felt The heat wave rolled over my face, and the intense transpiration above the woods made everything I could see blurry.
However, his vision was sharp, and he was judging large objects such as mountain peaks, so he could barely distinguish them.
He looked at it carefully for a few seconds, and after a few jumps, he landed on the ground again.
"How is it?" Huang Jiahui couldn't wait to ask as soon as she landed.
"Fortunately, it's not far from the nearest mountain peak. I estimate it's only about twenty kilometers away. We can get there before dark. Without further ado, let's set off quickly." Luo Yuan said.
Everyone felt relieved when they heard this and hurriedly climbed onto the giant lizard. They really didn't want to stay in this weird and scary forest for a second. However, things were not that simple. After the monitor lizard had walked for about ten minutes, Luo Yuan climbed up a big tree again to observe the direction, only to find that the mountain peak was not approaching but was getting further away.
The mountain peak in the distance is like a mirage. No matter how hard you move forward, you can't get closer.
The new discovery casts a shadow over everyone.
"What should we do? We seem to have encountered a ghost and hit a wall." Zhao Yali said a little superstitiously.
"Even if you encounter a ghost and hit the wall, it's not impossible to get out?" Luo Yuandao, he pondered for a moment and continued: "Maybe not everything we see is true, and what we hear may not be false, but I don't I believe it can deceive all five senses, at least I find that most of what I see with my eyes is real.”
"Do you have any idea?" Zhao Yali said quickly.
"I only have a stupid way, but I have to try it out." Luo Yuandao.
He jumped off the giant lizard, randomly selected two big trees as the starting point and ending point, and walked forward step by step. After a while, he returned, with a relieved smile on his face: "I walked about three more steps. ”
"You mean, the distance in this forest is distorted?" Captain Xia was the first to react and asked.
"No, if it was the distance, we would have noticed something strange long ago.
It is the direction. There is a force here that distorts our sense of direction. When we think we are walking in a straight line, we are actually walking in a curve. If we do not always check the direction and make adjustments, the deviation distance will become larger and larger. You can never get out of this forest. " Luo Yuan explained. However, he was shocked by this kind of power. The two trees were only thirty-five steps apart, but they actually made him walk three more steps. This was the result of him always looking at the target, otherwise he would not have known How far to deviate.
"I'll walk on the top of the tree later, and you guys will follow me on the giant lizard." Luo Yuandao said, this was the only way to do it now.
Everyone nodded quickly.
Immediately, Luo Yuan rushed up the big tree, jumping forward as fast as an ape. Because it was getting dark, in order to avoid the recurrence of yesterday's unknowing sleep, he went at full speed, so much so that the giant lizard had to trot all the way to keep up. on.
This time the mountain peak finally got closer and closer, and after half an hour, this strange forest was left behind.
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. After arriving here, the power completely disappeared.
The group of people stopped for a short while and then continued to move forward. During the process, they crossed a low mountain peak and stopped in front of a pile of rocks. By this time, the sky was completely dark.
Since there is almost no soil here, the plants are a bit sparse. In addition to weeds as tall as a person everywhere, there are only a few plants scattered here and there. Compared with the lushness of the plants in the forest, the weeds here are less dense under the sun. Under the scorching heat, it looked yellow and wilted, as if it would die at any time.
Similarly, in such a harsh environment, the dangers are greatly reduced. Not to mention mutant beasts, there are also very few mutant insects. The group of people can finally breathe a sigh of relief here.
… …
After dinner, everyone fell asleep one after another. At 11 or 12 o'clock, the remaining fuel of the bonfire gradually dimmed, a cool breeze blew by, and after the last ray of light burst out, it was finally completely extinguished.
Following a rustling sound, a figure stood up. It was Cao Lin. She seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then walked toward Luo Yuan with uneasy steps.
"Brother Luo! Brother Luo!" She called softly several times.
Luo Yuan, who was sitting quietly with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes, looked at Cao Lin, and asked with a puzzled expression: "What's going on?"
"Can... can we talk to the side?" Seeing Luo Yuan, Cao Lin's breathing was a little rapid, her face was nervous, and her originally rosy face became slightly pale.
Luo Yuan stood up, walked a few steps away, and asked, "If you have anything to say, just tell me."
"I... I seemed to have been bitten by something on my chest just now. Can you help me take a look?" Cao Lin gritted her teeth and said. She didn't know whether she was nervous or scared. She squeezed the corners of her clothes tightly, her body felt a little bit... Trembling.
Can people just watch this kind of place
"Is it serious?" he asked.
"I... I don't know!" Cao Lin said tremblingly, and began to undress with both hands.
Luo Yuan originally wanted to stop him, but in the end he didn't speak. Then, he saw that the other party had opened his entire shirt. There was a complete vacuum inside, and a pair of snowy rabbits were beating tremblingly.
One of them had a purple bruise the size of a palm.
It didn't look like it was bitten by something, but rather pinched out. Luo Yuan somewhat understood what was going on, but he did not expose it or sternly refuse because it would embarrass her. It can be seen that in order to do all this today, she has summoned up all the courage, and may even have been tossing and turning for a long time.
He sighed, stretched out his hand and gently touched the purple bruises on it. Under the influence of his will, the bruises quickly faded away, and soon became white and pink. He touched them with nostalgia a few times, and then withdrew his hand:
"Go back, we have to get up early tomorrow."
At this time, Cao Lin's face was already full of fever, she lowered her head and hurriedly put on her clothes, and ran back with messy steps.
Luo Yuan sighed at the same spot and returned to sit quietly. Nowadays, morality has collapsed in the last days. Here is a primitive forest that is extremely rare for humans. For a strong man like him, he can do whatever he wants without paying any price. But I still feel sad.
I don't know why, but he suddenly remembered a saying, the strong cannot be restrained, except himself.
