Views:

Hearing these words suddenly, Shirley and Carl who were walking in front suddenly turned their heads, and everyone looked behind the young man, but there was no one there.

Because the ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, footsteps could hardly be heard when walking on it, so that they couldn't even know when Quick disappeared.

There was deathly silence, everyone looked at each other silently, Xue Li asked: "Chang'an, how did you find out that Quick is missing?"

Shano replied: "Quick has a puppet pendant on the hilt of his sword. When the pendant hits the scabbard while walking, it will make a 'da da' sound. When the sound disappears, I feel something is wrong. gone."

It was too late, though, and Shano wasn't sure how long Quick had been gone before he found out.

――If only I found out sooner.

Xia Nuo couldn't help blaming himself, the man touched his head and comforted him, "It's not your fault."

Shirley also nodded: "If you weren't careful, we might not find out that Quick was missing when we arrived at the destination. It's much better to find out late than never."

The top priority is to find Quick first. But how are they going to find him

The forest was extremely quiet, and there was a black hole in front of it, like a beast with its huge mouth open, trying to choose someone to eat.

"Let's go back the same way and see if we can find him." Even though Shirley said this, she also knew that the possibility of finding him was very low.

If Quick had encountered any danger, or lost his way, it would certainly not be so silent.

But in other words, if something really captured him in front of them and left them unaware, then its danger cannot be underestimated.

"This time you go ahead, Chang'an." In order to prevent the boy from disappearing without warning, Xue Li said, "Every five minutes, you ask "are you there?" If you don't hear the answer, you can find out in time." .”

"Okay." Shano nodded.

A night owl silently spread its wings and stood on a tall tree branch, looking down at them from a height.

In fact, there are many creatures living in the forest, but at this time, they seem to have received some orders, and they act silently, as if they are afraid of disturbing something, and they seem to be just to create a terrifying atmosphere.

Xia Nuo couldn't help leaning closer to the man, partly out of fear, partly because of the promise he made to protect the man before departure.

With a smile in his eyes, the man took advantage of the situation and grabbed the boy's cold hand, showing no trace of panic or fear.

But originally this was his home field, everything that happened in the mountains and forests could not be hidden from his eyes, so how could he be afraid

The group returned the same way, Xia Nuo counted the time, and after five minutes, he asked for the first time: "Are you still there?"

"Yes." It was Karl who answered him.

The man is responsible for identifying the way. If it is not for him to guide the way, everyone will not even be able to find the way.

Although Karl carved a mark on the tree to prevent getting lost at first, but when they came back, they found that the mark on the tree had disappeared without a trace, and the tree without any trace seemed to laugh at their innocence.

There were no footprints left on the road when they came. The fallen leaves on the ground can not only cover up the sound of footsteps, but also have amazing resilience. Although there will be a dent after stepping on it, it will recover after a short breath, and there will be no footprints left.

Walking behind, Carl communicated with Shirley silently.

After getting along for a long time, they already have a tacit understanding that can communicate without words.

'It would be nice if I was the one who got the prop. Karl looked at the boy's back with heavy eyes.

If he could get the "Blessing of the Holy Tree", they would definitely not be as passive as they are now. Facing such an environment with unknown dangers lurking, he also felt a little uncertain.

'do not think too much. Shirley smiled slightly, but did not let Carl see her mocking eyes, "Props cannot be snatched." '

Yes, for the protection of players, props cannot be snatched unless they are traded voluntarily.

However, Carl does not think that the boy will trade this life-saving item to him.

Besides, there is another way...

If the owner dies, the item has a 30% chance of being destroyed, but there is also a 70% chance of dropping it randomly, and anyone can pick it up.

Although he was slapped in the face once before, Karl is still full of confidence in his luck.

Chang'an...

Gently uttering the boy's name from his mouth, he laughed silently.

However, he didn't notice that several black figures were lurking in the darkness, straightened up at this moment, and were watching him quietly.

Five minutes passed quickly, Xia Nuo said again: "Are you there?"

"Yes." It was Shirley who answered this time.

The road in the forest is very narrow. Fortunately, they are still at the foot of the mountain. Although the road is narrow, it is not steep. If it is on the mountainside or on the top of the mountain, the road will be more difficult to walk.

They walked all the way, but did not find Quick's figure. Xia Nuo also called out his name loudly, the young man's crisp voice echoed in the mountains and forests, startling a lot of birds, but unfortunately there was no response.

The situation is not optimistic.

Xia Nuo lowered his head in frustration. Fortunately, he was still holding the man's hand at this time. Although the temperature was cold, it brought him a kind of silent comfort.

"Don't be afraid." The man said softly.

Xia Nuo raised his face and couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

The man's voice was still gentle and peaceful, but his face was hidden in the darkness, and it looked inexplicably dangerous.

Xia Nuo shook his head, as if trying to get rid of this thought: what was he thinking about.

I don't know how many times it was, Xia Nuo used to say the phrase "Are you there?" He thought he would get a reply that was almost the same as before, and he even guessed whether it was Shirley or Carl who answered this time.

——However, what responded to him was a dead silence.

Xia Nuo's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned his head away. There was no one behind him, only densely packed trees standing in the darkness, and the leaves swayed with a gust of wind.

Xia Nuo couldn't help but grasped the man's hand, a little panicked: "They, they're gone too!"

Panicked, the boy's strength involuntarily increased, and the man even felt a slight pain.

There was no clue on his face, and his voice was still calm and gentle: "Don't worry, let's go back and have a look."

Xia Nuo was infected by his attitude and slowly calmed down.

Yes, it's only five minutes, and there's still a good chance of finding them.

At this time, he suddenly realized that he was holding the man's hand tightly. Although he couldn't see whether there were red marks on the man's hand that he pinched, the man must be uncomfortable.

"Did I scratch you?" Xia Nuo slowly let go of his hand and asked tentatively.

"No." The man replied without changing his expression.

In fact, he was not lying, such a small pain was not worth mentioning to him. and…

Isn't this just a symbol of the teenager's dependence and care on him? He was content with such pain.

Xia Nuo was skeptical, but the man's next words made him lose his mind to think about it.

The man took his hand again and said, "Let's go, there are only two of us left, we must hold each other well."

Xia Nuo was suffocated for a while: Indeed, now only he and Kanlaner are left, and the other teammates are missing, and it is even unclear whether they are dead or alive.

But fortunately Kanlaner was still there, otherwise he would be the only one left, and he didn't know how scared he would be.

Holding Kanlaner's hand now, he felt a sense of security in his heart.

Although he knew that a man didn't have much fighting power, and he might need his protection in case of danger, but this feeling of peace of mind was real.

Five minutes, whether it is long or not, is not short. According to their walking speed, five minutes is only a short distance away, so it stands to reason that the place where Shirley and Karl disappeared is not far from them.

They turned around again, looking for Shirley and Carl.

As expected, Xia Nuo did not find any trace of them, nor did he find any clues.

"What's going on?" He squatted down a little discouraged, looking at the dark ground, frowning tightly, "What should we do now?"

Neither he nor the man has much fighting power. If he encounters any danger, he probably won't last long.

But the current situation is that they can't find anyone at all, and they don't even have anyone to fight.

And when he thought that the culprit who took people away might be hiding in a certain corner, silently mocking them who were helpless, he felt unspeakable depression in his heart.

"Why don't you ask the holy tree?" The man pretended to think for a moment, and suggested solemnly.

"Holy tree?" Xia Nuo didn't understand what he meant, and was a little confused, "Does the holy tree know where they are?"

"Have you forgotten what I said? The sacred tree controls the entire mountain forest, and nothing that happens in the forest can escape his eyes." The man leaned down | and whispered in his ear, revealing something for no reason The meaning of coaxing.

"..." Xia Nuo hesitated for a moment, he was a little uncertain "but will it tell me?"

"Of course." The man smiled silently, "He likes you so much, he will be willing to fulfill all your wishes."

The author has something to say: So, Nuonuo made an evil py transaction with Shengshu (it didn’t)

Just to clarify, the boss didn't catch the person, but he knows who it is.

The update is late (I fell asleep again for some reason_(:3∠)_), I apologize and send 100 red envelopes, please forgive me qaq
