Above this level is the interior of the canopy of the sacred tree. The terrain is complex and it will be difficult to find a way out once you enter.
Shen Huaixi looked for Yu Xiao everywhere but didn't see him, so he guessed that he had passed this level.
Jiang Yuebai knew what the situation was like on the upper level. There were still about three days until the start of Yuehua Liushang, so she was not in a hurry at the moment. Fighting was prohibited on this level, and it was also meant to give the little demons a rest and recovery.
The problem of the three rabbits is actually very simple. Among the three choices, there must be one fruit that is not poisonous, which means that one rabbit must be telling the truth. If we make some deduction, we can know the answer.
The black rabbit said that the white rabbit was lying.
The white rabbit said that the gray rabbit was lying.
The gray rabbit then said that both the black and white rabbits were lying.
Suppose that the black rabbit is telling the truth, then the white rabbit is lying. The gray rabbit is telling the truth, but the gray rabbit says that the black rabbit is lying, so the deduction is invalid.
So, the black rabbit is lying!
Since the black rabbit is lying, then what the white rabbit said is the truth. The gray rabbit did lie, but its words are half true and half false and cannot be trusted. At this point, the deduction is valid.
It can be concluded that the black and gray rabbits are lying, and the white rabbit is telling the truth.
After knowing the correct answer, Jiang Yuebai was not in a hurry. The eyes of the group of little demons behind him were mostly filled with clear stupidity. They were stuck here and their brains were basically a mess.
"Do you know the answer?" Jiang Yuebai asked Shen Huaixi.
Shen Huaixi pondered for a moment, and his frown gradually relaxed. "Well, I have the answer."
Jiang Yuebai turned to the three rabbits, "I remember reading in ancient books that there was a false beast in ancient times. It looked like a rabbit, was good at speaking human language, and often deceived people, saying east when it was west, saying evil when it was good. Its meat was delicious, and if you eat it, your words will not be true. So, are you false beasts?"
The three rabbits said in unison, "No!"
Jiang Yuebai smiled, "Now they are speaking in unison."
Black and Gray are lying, the White Rabbit is telling the truth. It is a rabbit, and certainly not a false animal.
The three rabbits felt as if they were completely seen through by Jiang Yuebai. One of them hurriedly said, "Wait a moment, let's change again."
The gray mist immediately enveloped the three rabbits. When the mist dissipated, there were still three rabbits, black, white and gray, and three fruits. They began to accuse each other of lying again.
Jiang Yuebai was not angry at all. He bent down and approached the three rabbits, with a shadow on his face.
"Can I pass the level if I eat all of you? This level only prohibits fighting, but not eating rabbits. I learned the skill of cooking rabbits from Chaotianyu."
"Chaotian Territory?!"
The three rabbits stepped back in fear. The elders in the tribe said that rabbits must never set foot into Chaotian Territory in their lifetime, because that is the graveyard of all rabbits in the world!
"Don't be nervous, just kidding. Answer me a question. Am I a man?"
"yes!"
"no!"
After three sounds, the black rabbit and the white rabbit who answered "yes" opened their eyes wide, and quickly dropped the fruit to cover their mouths.
Shen Huaixi's eyes lit up, "So that's how it is, it's really simple!"
"It's not difficult to deduce it normally." Jiang Yuebai said.
Knowing that rabbits are liars, we can use the fact that liars only tell lies to mislead them. No matter how complicated the questions they ask are, it will be useless.
Even if they don't answer, you can ask them if they can't answer the question. Even if the false beasts don't speak, their eyes and expressions will reveal it.
Jiang Yuebai rolled the fruit from the gray rabbit's hand with her vine and took a bite. It was sweet and crisp. A cool breeze flowed through her body, making her pain disappear and she felt strong.
Among the group of little demons at the back, most of them still had confused looks on their faces, and the stupidity in their eyes was even clearer.
They have only been intelligent for a few years and have never been to school. They are not as smart as the foxes who are born smart, so it is understandable that they are dull-witted.
It’s just that if you can’t even answer this kind of questions, if you really become a servant of the sacred tree, the sacred tree will probably be mad to death. No wonder the sacred tree gives this kind of test questions.
However, a few little monsters had already reacted to Jiang Yuebai's actions. The four-eared monkey's eyes were rolling around, and the little boy with a green face, dragon horns and an cow nose also had his eyes gradually lighting up.
"I'll go first."
Jiang Yuebai said something to Shen Huaixi, then stepped over the rabbit and climbed up the vine ladder.
The gray rabbit who told the truth called out to Jiang Yuebai, chased him to the stairs, and handed him a tuft of black rabbit hair.
"This is the hair of the false beast. Light it up, and you can tell the truth from the lies of the people around you within a quarter of an hour. You have completely seen through our tricks. This is what the sacred tree ordered."
Jiang Yuebai accepted the fur and said, "Actually, I want to know if the meat of rabbit monsters and black beasts is really delicious. How about you give me their heads and make me a spicy rabbit head?"
The gray rabbit stepped back in fear, missed a step and rolled down the stairs.
Jiang Yuebai gave two evil smiles and turned away.
Stepping into the clouds again and walking upwards for a while, Jiang Yuebai's eyes suddenly became clear and he entered day from darkness.
Everywhere you look, you see vines entwined around trees, with branches of varying thicknesses all around. Mottled light and shadows are projected through the dense leaves, forming clusters of light that illuminate the dust particles.
The sounds of insects chirping, birds singing and monkeys shouting echoed, making this place quiet and ethereal.
Jiang Yuebai looked around, but could not see the boundary of the sacred tree's canopy, either above his head or below his feet.
"The canopy of the sacred tree can at least cover the entire demon realm. With such a large area, it would be difficult to explore it in thirty days, let alone three days. Moreover..."
Jiang Yuebai felt her body suppressed by a force, forcing her to walk along the tree trunk that was like a single-plank bridge under her feet. She tried to throw out the white vine and wrap it around the tree trunk diagonally above to swing up, but the vine was blocked by an invisible barrier.
"We can only climb up the tree trunk layer by layer. Can't we take shortcuts?"
"Jiang Yuebai."
He heard Shen Huaixi's voice from behind him, and he quickly caught up.
"Mind coming along?"
Jiang Yuebai wanted to refuse, but suddenly remembered that Shen Huaixi had reminded her to be careful of Arisaema, so she changed her words to, "Do you have any weapons you can lend me?"
Her cane was too soft and could only be used for whipping and strangling, and was not as painful as using a sharp weapon.
Shen Huaixi rummaged through his storage ring for a while, took out a magical spear of good quality and handed it to Jiang Yuebai.
"The strange people of Tieyu Country are good at using spears. This Spirit Snake Spear is what I used when I was learning spears. Later, I didn't learn it well, so I kept it unused. If you don't mind, I will give it to you."
Jiang Yuebai took it and took a look. The blade was like a snake, hissing and cutting through the wind. It was not as good as her White Dragon Spear, but it was not bad either. It was enough for this place.
"Let me make it clear first, if you dare to snatch the Emperor's Blood from me, I will stab you eighteen times first."
Shen Huaixi smiled sincerely, "Don't worry, the main reason I came here is to see the sacred tree once, the other things are not important to me."
Jiang Yuebai nodded, "Let's go, by the way, try to see if you can fly here."
Shen Huaixi secretly glanced at the ground below, swallowed his saliva with some resistance, but still did as Jiang Yuebai said, and a pair of blood-red wings gradually appeared behind him.
He is no longer a righteous cultivator who cultivates spiritual energy. All he carries on his body is blood, spirit and yin energy, which makes him an evil cultivator.
Shen Huaixi flapped his wings for a moment and shook his head, "I can't fly. I'm being suppressed by some force."
"It seems that we can only find the way up along the tree trunk."
The two walked forward along the tree trunk under their feet and saw a hole at the end of the trunk like a battlement. They entered it and saw two exits leading to different directions.
One goes up to the north, and the other goes down to the west. There are still criss-crossing tree trunks, dense green leaves, and mottled shadows.
After checking, Shen Huaixi said, "It's hard to tell the direction here, and my spiritual sense is also affected, but as long as I keep going up, I shouldn't be wrong."
The two immediately chose to walk northwards. When they reached the middle, they saw a little monkey blocking the way.
"Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine." The little monkey asked Jiang Yuebai while scratching his ears.
Jiang Yuebai was speechless. Was this the idea of the sacred tree or that of the little red-feathered bird
She now seriously suspected that the servants of the sacred tree in previous years were all taught by Red-Feathered Little Bird, and it was tired of it, so this time it tried to use these brain-testing questions to force the little demons below to death, so that no demons would be selected and it would not have to teach.
Jiang Yuebai was too lazy to answer, Shen Huaixi smiled and said, "Lack of food and clothing."
The little monkey made way, and Jiang Yuebai and Shen Huaixi passed smoothly.
