Chapter 165: Encountering alienation among the people, the ancient tree speaks
Li Siyu was startled, then quickly raised his head and looked at the weed forest.
Just now...it seemed like a call came from over there.
Moreover, that voice seems to be Zhang Hao's?
She wasn't sure, and even wondered if she heard correctly.
"Siyu..."
At this time, she heard another call.
"Zhang Hao?" Li Siyu stood up and slowly approached the weed forest behind the wild fruit forest.
"Siyu..."
The voice was still calling her, getting closer and clearer.
She followed the sound, bypassing the wild fruit forest, and walked into the forest of weeds that were taller than a person.
Her eyes were a little dazed, and her expression was a little confused, as if the sound had infinite attraction and was guiding her to the source of the sound.
Not long after Li Siyu walked into the weed forest.
other side.
"Woof woof!" Xiaobai sprang out from the tall weeds and rushed towards the mountain god deer, but halfway through the charge it slowed down, tilted its head, and looked at where Li Siyu was in confusion. place.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Hao also walked out of the weed forest, holding a lot of grass roots in his hand, still holding the invasion knife in his hand, and shouted: "Siyu, wait, don't worry, I looked for it specially." With grass roots that have grown for several years, the effect of this kind of thing should be better..."
Before he finished speaking, he raised his head, looked at the empty space, and was stunned.
Li Siyu's figure is no longer here, and he is not around. At least Zhang Hao did not find Li Siyu's figure in his sight.
Zhang Hao immediately panicked, ran forward in a few steps, watched Li Siyu pick a basket full of wild fruits, and then looked at the mountain god deer lying aside, already asleep.
Zhang Hao took a few steps to stand in front of the mountain god deer and shook it awake: "Where is Li Siyu?"
The mountain god deer was confused. He raised his head and looked around, and was also stunned.
Seeing this, Zhang Hao no longer made things difficult for the mountain god deer, and looked down at Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, go find your sister quickly!"
"Woof!" Xiaobai also knew the seriousness of the matter, shouted loudly, and then began to sniff the air.
Zhang Hao, on the other hand, was a little anxious, always looking around, trying to find some traces.
There are still many dangers in the mountains, and there are also many weird things in the mountains. Sometimes Zhang Hao cannot easily believe what is happening in front of him. Is it true or false? Could it be some mountain spirit, wild monster, or something else? It was done deliberately just to make them fall into a trap.
But some things are not meant to harm people, but for fun, just for fun.
If Li Siyu was attracted by something, then this matter would be difficult to handle.
We must find Li Siyu as soon as possible.
Avoid any unexpected situations.
At this moment, Zhang Hao's eyes were attracted by a strange trace.
The trace was a long and narrow mark.
……
"Siyu..."
The calling was still going on. Li Siyu didn't know how long it had passed, nor where she had arrived. She didn't seem to care much about the surrounding environment or what had happened. She was just following the direction of the sound. .
We walked all the way to the outside of the weed forest and walked forward for quite a while.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a slight tingling sensation on her wrist.
In an instant, she paused, the confusion in her eyes dissipated, and the sluggishness in her expression also dissipated, replaced by clarity, and unprecedented vigilance and caution.
She immediately looked at her wrist, looking at the bracelet composed of 13 beads that Zhang Hao gave her.
Was it the effect of this thing that made her wake up from that confused state?
Li Siyu's guess was indeed correct. The bracelet Zhang Hao gave her could ward off evil spirits and drive away bad luck. As long as there were evil spirits nearby who wanted to harm her, the Thunder Tribulation Wooden Bracelet would play its due role. , to protect Li Siyu from harm.
Li Siyu looked around and checked the surrounding situation.
In addition to dense forests, there are also dense forests around, with endless trees, weeds, and stones as far as the eye can see.
In the distance, the misty gray is turning into black little by little. It is the kind of darkness that is so dark that it seems to be able to swallow everything and cover everything.
Li Siyu's heart became more and more frightened, and he gradually became a little hairy.
She didn't even know how she got here. She only remembered that she heard a voice calling her from the weed forest. The voice seemed to be Zhang Hao's voice, very similar.
Then she stood up inexplicably, and then walked into the weeds without looking back. Then, her consciousness became more and more blurred, as if she was thinking about something, as if she was lost. Feeling like a lost soul.
She didn't know how long it took, or even how long she walked. She didn't really wake up until she came here, but she woke up, but she couldn't find her way back.
Moreover, she had no idea where the weedy forest was. She had no direction at all, let alone a goal.
The most important thing is that if Zhang Hao finds out that he is lost, he will definitely be anxious...
She had to go back as soon as possible, not to worry Zhang Hao as much as possible, and to keep herself out of danger as much as possible.
It's getting later and later, and it seems that it won't be completely dark in a few hours. She has nothing at hand, not even a basket. If it gets completely dark, she will be trapped in the mountains. If she stayed for one night without fire, food, or anything, she would probably scare herself to death.
If she hadn't seen the two foxes today and hadn't been thinking wildly, she wouldn't have felt scared. At most, she would have been worried.
But it was different now. She already knew some things in the mountains. How could she calm down and stay quietly for a night in the dark forest.
Thinking of this, Li Siyu briefly identified the direction, and then walked in the direction behind him.
The first thing that can be determined is that she came from the direction behind her. If she had been walking in a straight line, she would definitely be able to find the weed forest if she followed the road in front of her. Of course, this is the case if you don't turn a corner or change direction intentionally.
If you turn a corner, if you change direction, then... you have to leave it to fate.
As she walked like this, she felt anxious and worried all the way. Sometimes she looked at her feet warily, sometimes she looked around cautiously, sometimes she observed all the movements in the dense forest, and sometimes she looked nervously at the movement behind her.
She walked forward step by step, passing dense forests one after another, seeing trees of similar length one after another, and walking the same path that extended deep into the mountains.
As she expected, she kept walking until she came to a fork in the road.
In front of us are two roads, one left and one right.
The road on the left is narrower and has dense trees. As the sky gradually darkens, it also looks particularly dark, as if it has been given a mysterious and terrifying color.
The road on the right was wider, and the trees were not too dense, but rather loose. Even as the sky gradually darkened, it did not appear dark, and there was even a little light, allowing her to see the surrounding scenery clearly.
There are two roads, one on the left and one on the right.
Which road did she come from?
She didn't know, nor was she clear, because she didn't pay attention to the scenery around her at the time, so she kept walking forward following the sound. By the time she realized what was happening, she was completely far away from there.
Li Siyu stood there, biting her lips, unable to sit down and make a decision.
She didn't dare to sit down and make a decision casually. If she made the right choice, then things would be fine and she could still find Zhang Hao. But what if she made the wrong choice?
If she made the wrong choice, she would most likely be completely lost in the mountains.
If she gets lost in the mountains... Tonight, she will spend an unforgettable night, and she might be really scared.
However, she always kept in mind Zhang Hao's instructions not to shout at people in the mountains, so she never shouted.
Logically speaking, the best way for her at the moment is to wait where she is. As a mountain walker, Zhang Hao must have a way to find people in the mountains. As long as Zhang Hao can follow the traces and find them, he will definitely be able to find her.
Unless there are special circumstances, such as Zhang Hao not realizing that he is lost, such as... he is really lost.
In any case, if you want to continue walking forward, you have to take the risk of getting lost in the mountains. And if you just wait in place, you don't know when Zhang Hao will find this place.
It's best to find yourself before the sun sets. After the sun goes down... it will become extremely dark in the woods.
She raised her head and looked at the sky above the branches, watching the sky gradually darken. The sunset in the west was already reflected. She was afraid that after some time, maybe half an hour or an hour, the sky would darken. It will be completely dark. Then it will be completely dark in the dense forest, and there will not be any light.
She stood at this fork in the road, sometimes pacing back and forth, sometimes standing still, waiting for Zhang Hao to find her.
As time went by, she had little time left. She could only hope that Zhang Hao could find her as soon as possible, get down the mountain and leave here as soon as possible.
Li Siyu took a deep breath and looked around at the dense forest.
All trees are similar, not much different, and have no special characteristics.
But at this moment, her eyes were attracted by a strange-looking tree.
She was a little anxious just now, so she didn't have time to look at it.
Right at the intersection of the two roads, in the middle, there was a big tree that was so thick that it took two or three people to surround it, standing there.
The trunk of this big tree is very long, and the crown is high up, much higher than other trees. One look at the huge crown and then the trunk will only make people feel that this tree is like Some fitness people who do not train their legs are not suitable.
Moreover, the bark on the surface of this tree is not gray, but black. It is not pitch black, but a light black, as if someone used some kind of paint to paint the surface of the tree like this.
Moreover, Li Siyu also saw two curved fine lines on the surface of the tree trunk, and not far below the two curved fine lines, there was also a long arc fine line.
Looking closer, it looks like the tree has narrow eye slits and a long mouth slit.
Li Siyu subconsciously took a step back, feeling that the big tree in front of him was very strange, as if it had a mouth and eyes.
She quickly retracted her attention, looked at the road to the left, and then to the right. Finally, she sighed silently, as if to cheer herself up, and as if to adjust her tense nerves. .
She looked at the big tree and smiled bitterly: "Big tree, big tree, do you think Zhang Hao can find me?"
Naturally, there was no response to her question, and she did not expect that the tree would respond to her. This was expected. If the tree responded to her, that would be something unexpected, and that would happen. A supernatural event.
Li Siyu let out a long sigh. She bit her lips and stared at the two roads in front of her. Finally, she continued to look at the two roads in front of her and waited silently.
But at this moment.
"Little baby, are you lost?"
In an instant, an ethereal voice that seemed to come from ancient times and seemed to be right next to his ears suddenly sounded.
Li Siyu paused immediately, all the hairs on his body stood up on his head, and his heart trembled, as an indescribable fear swept through his heart.
She came here because she heard a strange call before, and now there is a strange voice just now, and she said to herself, "Are you lost?"
This is simply a fairy tale of the new era, this is really... too scary.
As her thoughts raced, Li Siyu's legs felt like they were filled with lead, unable to move, and her throat seemed to be sealed, unable to make any sound.
"Haha, little baby, don't be afraid. I don't mean any harm. If my guess is correct, you should have gone up the mountain with the mountain walker, right?"
At this time.
The voice sounded again.
Li Siyu's stiff neck twisted little by little until it was completely twisted in the direction of the strange big tree he just passed.
You may not have heard it clearly the first time, and you may suspect that you are hallucinating or hearing it wrong, but this second time, it is absolutely impossible to hear it wrong, absolutely impossible!
This time, she heard clearly, very clearly.
She could confirm that the sound just now seemed to come from this big tree!
The tree... spoke!
