Qiuqiu felt that her emotions were like a balloon that was getting fuller and fuller. The inflated negative emotions were about to reach a critical point and might burst with a "bang" the next moment.
But Shi'er's silent gaze was like a thin silver needle that hit every target. When he threw it with a whoosh, the big negative balloon burst with a pop, and the emotions and thoughts that had been accumulated for a long time were deflated in an instant.
All was lost.
Okay, I was underestimated... but I didn't feel upset at all.
"Are you looking down on me?"
Shi'er watched her silently.
I just underestimated you, what's wrong?
Qiuqiu shook her fist at him threateningly: "Let me tell you, many people praise me for my outstanding qualifications. One day my achievements will definitely surpass yours."
Shi'er stretched out his palm to touch her little fist, then held her fist in his palm and said lightly: "Go to sleep."
Putting people to sleep when they are so excited...
Qiuqiu rubbed his legs a few times angrily, turned over angrily, and turned her back to him, so that she no longer had to see that full of hatred face.
But this time she fell asleep quickly. In the dream, she held a sword and slashed her opponent to the ground. If she looked carefully, the one who was chopped down and begging loudly for mercy was not Shi'er or who was it? Qiu.
Qiu proudly stepped on his chest, held up the sword, and looked up to the sky with a smile.
"Hahaha……"
Shi'er, who was meditating, opened his eyes and looked at Qiuqiu, who was smiling contentedly in his sleep, with the corners of his mouth slightly curved.
The next day they were still moving forward, and Qiuqiu humbly asked for advice during the break between fighting monsters. From Shier, they learned how to use sun shadow to measure time and orientation. They also learned how to find water sources, which wild fruits can be eaten, and which kinds of wild fruits can be eaten.
Snakes are highly venomous...
Qiuqiu’s thoughts are as follows: First, how can you measure the time on a cloudy day without the sun? Second, why do the edible wild fruits taste so bad? Third, are we here for a trial of cultivating immortals, not a field survival training inspection?
Maybe because she was with Shi'er, Qiuqiu was sure that she would not encounter any real danger to her life. When the time came, Shi'er would definitely not stand idly by and would definitely save her.
People are like this. Once they have someone to support them, they become a little nervous. When Qiuqiu felt that this trial journey was too easy, the real test came.
Qiuqiu swore that she really didn't run around. The surrounding environment was peaceful, with birds chirping and flowers fragrant... Uh. Okay, let's not talk nonsense. The situation was like this. She had just killed a gray leopard. This leopard was too unscientific. It was the same as yesterday.
The wild boar is by no means of the same level. It does not attack with sonic stun like the wild boar. But it is like a rebound force field that is invisible to the naked eye. When Qiuqiu slashed at it with a sword, it suddenly seemed to hit it.
An invisible wall was bounced away.
It's too unscientific, okay? Are all the animals here in Jiufeng so unnatural, or are only the creatures in the trial cave so unnatural?
After finally grinding the leopard to death, Qiuqiu was so tired that she could hardly breathe. She relived the agony she felt in her previous life when students were forced to sign up for a marathon in winter...
"Pay attention to your breathing." Shi'er calmly commented to her.
Yes, yesterday she almost forgot all about sword moves, footwork and other things. Today, she barely remembered how to move and draw the sword... But she forgot to adjust her inner breath when fighting monsters.
…
Okay. Proficiency needs to be improved.
Her face and hands were a little dirty. Qiuqiu pointed to the stream at the foot of the hillside beside her: "I'm going to wash my face."
As for Huo'er... this guy is busy eating. Leopard, son.
Well, at least it is very environmentally friendly. It can eat all the skin and bones, and in the end not even a single leopard hair will be left in the ground.
The stream is very clear and shallow, and it flows through the colorful and smooth pebbles.
Qiuqiu picked up the water, washed her hands first, and then washed her face.
Shi'er turned around and glanced at Huo'er. This leopard has lived longer than yesterday's wild boar. It has more energy contained in its blood, muscles, and bones. Huo'er's eating appearance is not so bloody.
, terrifying.
He turned his head and looked towards the stream again. Suddenly Shi'er stood up, and for the first time a strange color appeared on his indifferent face.
There was no one by the stream. Qiuqiu, who was joking with him just now and squatting there washing his hands, was gone!
Qiuqiu herself couldn't tell what happened.
She was holding water in her hands and snoring on her face, and of course her eyes were closed at this time. This is natural, who opens their eyes when washing their face?
But when she washed her hands and put them down, Qiuqiu was stunned.
What about the creek?
Where is the water?
No, no, the point is, where is she now?
Yes, Miss Qiuqiu discovered that she had lost it after a short moment of closing and opening her eyes while washing her face.
Just now she was clearly standing by the stream at the foot of the hillside, while Shi'er was sitting on the slope not far behind her, and Huo'er was chewing leopard meat. She even heard the sound of its mouth squeaking as it chewed vigorously.
But all this disappeared in an instant, the hillside was gone, the stream was gone! The point is, Shi'er and Huo'er were gone too!
If there were still only a few people missing from the surrounding environment, Qiuqiu could certainly tell that they were missing.
But now the environment and people have changed, so Qiuqiu concluded that she lost it herself.
What is this place?
How can you wash your face and travel back in time again? This is unscientific!
Qiuqiu calmed down and judged from the aura and feeling around her that she should still be in the trial cave.
It's possible that she touched some mechanism while washing her face, or that the trial cave didn't like her and randomly moved her to another place on the map, maybe another layer of the cave. In short, she was separated from Shi'er.
After understanding this, Qiuqiu was not too panicked. She first checked the equipment on her body. The sword in her waist and the Qiankun bag in her sleeve were very good. The weapons and logistics reserves were all there.
I touched my neck again, and the Ruyi Ring was there too.
Shi'er said that the Ruyi Ring is a mountain-holding treasure passed down from generation to generation in Jiufeng. She can escape from the trial cave with this.
Let go a little more.
However, Qiuqiu decided that she would not use this unless absolutely necessary.
This is a rare opportunity to improve your swordsmanship experience now.
Besides, Qiuqiu felt that she and Shi'er should not be far apart. She thought that maybe she should stand where she was and wait, maybe Shi'er would appear in front of her next moment. If she walked away, if Shi'er
She also appeared here inexplicably, and they might not be able to find her, so it would be difficult for them to meet her again.
She stayed where she was, waiting. She also stuck a branch on the ground and judged the time the way Shi'er taught her.
The shadows of the branches moved little by little, one hour, two hours.
Qiuqiu gradually came to understand that her being teleported was probably a random trigger, but it could never happen again, and Shi'er couldn't come here in the same way. Come to her side.
She can't stay here forever.
Qiuqiu drew a mark on the stone with her sword. If Shi'er could see it, she would know that she had been here. Then she also drew an arrow pointing in the direction she was going. In this way, Shi'er would also know where she was going.
The direction went.
After doing this, Qiuqiu began to move forward.
Although the surrounding environment didn't seem to have changed much, Qiuqiu was more alert than before.
Now there is no Shi'er watching and protecting her. She has to be careful on her own at all times.
She was alone, stumbling and tentatively moving forward.
She didn't encounter any ferocious beasts until dark. Qiuqiu chose to rest in a tree just like last night.
She didn't dare to sleep. Who knew if a venomous snake would crawl out in the middle of the night? She made a simple formation with a few pieces of talisman paper, and Qiuqiu sat cross-legged and meditated.
She should have been used to being alone for a long time.
When her master's whereabouts were unknown and Shi'er didn't come to pick her up, she had been alone in the empty house on Xiuyuan Mountain. The mountain wind was so strong that it seemed like it would knock off the roof. She often felt that there was only one thing left in the world.
I felt like I was alone in the middle of nowhere.
But now Qiuqiu feels that she will never get used to this feeling of loneliness. She feels empty around her, and the same is true in her heart. A large piece has been dug away, and she can't fill it, and the hole will leak.
I am really afraid of what will happen.
Qiuqiu closed her eyes and opened them slightly. Although the surroundings were dim, especially the dense branches and leaves of the trees, it was so dark that nothing could be seen, but Qiuqiu felt an unusual movement.
A slight, almost inaudible "hissing" sound mixed in the wind.
She took hold of the sword.
Just in front of the tree branch where she was sitting cross-legged, a section of the "trunk" suddenly moved.
This snake was probably as thick as an adult's arm. Qiuqiu thought that it must have been entangled there a long time ago. Who made her unlucky enough to choose this tree instead of choosing one?
The snake's body swam slowly, making almost no sound.
The moonlight shines on its body through the gaps between the branches and leaves, and its dark scales sparkle slightly.
Snakes are very patient, they will observe first and then attack when the time is most appropriate.
Qiuqiu would not give it a chance to relax and wait for work. She made a mistake with her hands, and the sword edge came out from the bottom of her sleeves, creating a bright silver light in the dark night.
The snake was irritated, its body suddenly shrank back, and its head stood upright.
Its eyes glowed slightly at night, a strange fluorescent green color that made people feel faint and flickering like scaly fire, and the slimy and slippery sound it made when speaking tongue made people's spine tingle.
Qiuqiu squatted there, hunched over, which was also a posture of getting ready to go.
This snake was much more difficult to deal with than the one she encountered yesterday. Her sword edge failed to hurt it. The beast's reaction was too sharp. It noticed the crisis just a moment before it broke out and retreated in time.
He successfully evaded.
Very good, its sneak attack was unsuccessful, and Qiuqiu's attack was also unsuccessful.
Now they no longer despise each other.
What's worse than encountering a snake in the middle of the night?
Answer, this snake is not a bachelor, it also has a family.
Qiuqiu narrowed her eyes slightly, and she heard more of the unique sounds of legless reptiles moving.
