After walking a little further, the thick darkness faded a little, and I could faintly see a few small lights floating in the air, which were the beams of everyone's forehead lamps. Going further, I could see the people nearby clearly, and I could also vaguely see the ground.
Ding Hongsheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally got out. I was worried that if that thing saw that we were not fooled, it would have other ways to deal with us."
The surroundings were no longer dark, and Chen Wenchao wanted to pull his hand out of Cai Tao's palm, but Cai Tao held his hand tightly, and he pulled twice in succession without success.
"That's enough." Chen Wenchao said.
Cai Tao did not let go: "No, the light is still very dim, it's easy to fall."
Chen Wenchao was afraid that others would hear him, so he lowered his voice and said, "I am more likely to fall now than if I were walking alone."
Cai Tao's wolfhound, with a rope tied around its neck, kept sticking to his legs, and its big tail behind it was draped over the back of the short-tailed alligator to the right.
Cai Tao glanced at him, and now that the light was brighter, he could see Chen Wenchao's expression clearly.
"Don't glare at me, I mean well..." He slowly loosened his hand and muttered softly, "Who was holding my hand tightly just now? I couldn't get rid of it. Now you've used me and turned against me..."
As they were about to leave the area, the entire team relaxed. Now that they could see the road, they threw away their sticks and started to untie the ropes on their bodies.
Binunu also stretched out his little paws and carefully tried to untie the knot on the black lion's neck.
"Brother, please help me untie the knot you tied for me just now."
Yan Bubu asked Feng Chen to untie the rope for him, but Feng Chen just put his hand on his waist and looked elsewhere. When Ji Yi was about to step out of the area full of shy grass, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Ji Yi, stop! No one else should untie the rope, stop now!"
Everyone was startled by the shout, and stopped untying the ropes and stood still. Ji Yi raised her left foot and it took two seconds for it to fall to the ground: "What's wrong? What did you find?"
Feng Chen said: "I think there's something wrong with the Mimosa here."
Everyone looked down at their feet.
"There's nothing wrong. Is it that the number has increased?" Cai Tao looked around with a puzzled look on his face.
Chen Wenchao kicked the grass next to him with his toes: "Something is wrong. This shy grass is not afraid of us touching it."
"I'm not afraid anymore." Yan Bubu squatted down and touched the mimosa. The leaves allowed him to hold them in his hands and did not shrink back instantly like before.
Ding Hongsheng asked: "Brother Feng, what's the problem with Mimosa pudica not being afraid of people touching it?"
Feng Chen pulled out a plant of Mimosa pudica, looked at it, and threw it back on the ground. "This plant is not afraid of being touched because it is shy, but because it is protecting itself. Now it doesn't avoid being touched by me. This is a big problem."
"you mean… "
"I suspect we haven't walked out of Jaya Peak yet. We are now in an illusion." Feng Chen shook off the dirt on his hands. "Everyone, don't untie the ropes yet. Keep them together. Ji Yi, where's your stick? Take it and feel the way forward."
"Illusion? Besides auditory hallucination, there is also illusion. Do they really want to kill us here?"
Everyone had already untied the ropes, and immediately tied them around their waists again. Ji Yi stood there, not daring to move, and said, "I just threw away my stick, so I'm going to find another one now? You have to hold me back."
