Except for the period when she was too young to remember, Chen Xiyao can guarantee that this is definitely the first time she has muted her voice anywhere. What makes her even more desperate is that such days may continue for who knows how long in the future.
The sound of water sounded in the woods. Chen Xiyao was not a "super hearing" holder, but at this moment, in the woods that were so silent that it made people feel panicked, she seemed to be able to hear clearly.
Feng Xue's breathing was heard not far away.
After quickly solving her personal problem, Chen Xiyao looked at the leaves on the side. In the end, she couldn't make up her mind. She could only take out a pack of napkins from her pocket, carefully took out one, and even began to think about whether to tear it into two pieces and use it.
.
This was the first time in Chen Xiyao's life that she had the idea of using toilet paper sparingly, but she shuddered at the thought of having to use leaves or even sticks after using it.
"Is it over?" Feng Xue's voice came from outside the woods. Chen Xiyao quickly tidied up her clothes, and then made a nasal sound of affirmation in a voice as thin as a gnat.
However, the wilderness of Infinite City was so quiet that Feng Xue heard even such a soft response clearly. He waited for a moment, and when Chen Xiyao's figure began to come into view, he whispered:
"Did you notice the sound problem?"
"Yes." Chen Xiyao nodded, "I read in novels that if it is too quiet in the woods, it means there is an ambush..."
"Generally speaking, that's the case, but not Infinite City." Feng Xue shook her head, took out her mobile phone, planned a route to the river, and then explained:
"In Infinite City, there are only two types of things that make noises. One is humans and their tools, and the other is bad omens. You can understand them as monsters and the like, and the wild is the territory of those monsters. In other words,
If you hear a strange sound later, no matter what it is, be alert and hide if you can. If you really can’t find a place to hide, run towards the wall immediately.”
"I remember." Chen Xiyao nodded vigorously and immediately put the previous shyness out of her mind.
There is no shame in staying alive!
The two of them walked like this for about three minutes. Feng Xue's ears suddenly trembled slightly. The extraordinary perception given to him by the [Sensitive] element made him immediately aware of the subtle changes in the air. Seeing him suddenly stop, Chen Xiyao
He immediately stopped, held his breath, and quietly waited for Feng Xue's next move.
It was at this moment that she looked in the direction where Feng Xue was looking sideways, and a small stream appeared at the end of her field of vision.
It was at this moment that Chen Xiyao understood why Feng Xue said that only people and monsters could make noise in this world, because there was clearly water flowing in the creek in front of her, but it was as quiet as a painting.
However, this silent confrontation lasted for about more than a minute. Chen Xiyao, who couldn't hold it in anymore, carefully opened her mouth and let out her breath.
Her movements were very slow, as if she was afraid that this little movement would lead to death.
"I don't know if he will suddenly kiss him for air like in the novel?" Chen Xiyao's mind didn't know why a very strange but classic picture popped up, but Feng Xue obviously had no such plan.
, He just turned slightly sideways and pointed forward. Seeing this, Chen Xiyao had no choice but to look in the direction of his finger. The outline that was not so obvious at first, finally allowed her to see it clearly after getting guidance.
Target.
It was a thing that looked like the worst parts of a turtle, a frog, and a snake. It was lying quietly by the river, with most of its head retracted in its armor. If you didn't look carefully at the moss-covered carapace,
It's like a rock.
After Chen Xiyao noticed this thing, the first thing she thought of was the crocodile lying in the river waiting for prey to approach, but compared to the crocodile, this thing was obviously more ferocious and terrifying.
"What is this?" Chen Xiyao looked at the monster that could give timid people nightmares for days just by looking at it, and asked in a low voice. Feng Xue just shook her head. In fact, if it weren't for the
With Golden Finger's elemental observation, he would even think that the feeling brought by [Sensitivity] is just an illusion.
However, in his field of vision, the ever-expanding mosaic on the monster's head was so conspicuous that he could still see it at a glance even from a distance of dozens of meters.
In that mosaic, several vague elements appeared and disappeared. Even with Feng Xue's eyesight, it was difficult to see clearly in this late night.
Having learned a lesson, Feng Xue did not close the golden finger panel. Although various garbled codes kept popping up in his field of vision, which affected his field of vision, it was still better than being attacked by a bad omen lying in wait.
He shook his head at Chen Xiyao, pointed at the ground, and then at her. Chen Xiyao roughly understood what Feng Xue meant, nodded lightly, and leaned against a big tree obediently.
He looked like he wouldn't move around casually.
Seeing her like this, Feng Xue also breathed a sigh of relief. While she was glad that she didn't meet an idiot, she reached out and pressed her hood, and carefully sneaked towards the downstream direction.
Chen Xiyao was watching Feng Xue's back silently from behind the tree, but soon she realized that she had missed him!
It was obvious that her eyes had been following the white robe, but in the blink of an eye, she could no longer find any trace of him.
"I was left behind? He gave up on me?" An idea suddenly popped into Chen Xiyao's mind, and she immediately smashed it to pieces. She grabbed the tree trunk with both hands, forcing herself to suppress her panic.
In her heart, she was only seventeen years old and had spent her short life within the confines of school and home. She finally realized how ridiculous her previous idea of running away from home was!
"What are you doing? It's time to go!" Suddenly, a voice suddenly sounded in the ears of Chen Xiyao, who was confessing. This sudden movement made her almost scream out. Fortunately, as a self-study student in the evening
She is a "high-end player" who has never been caught while reading novels. She has developed a mentality of not being surprised even if the class teacher appears next to her, so she finally suppressed the urge to scream.
"Is it done?" Looking at Feng Xue who appeared beside her at some point, Chen Xiyao patted her chest hard. Even with two shock-absorbing pads, she still made a banging sound, as if this was the only way she could
It seemed to soothe the fear in her heart.
"Well, it should be enough for you to drink for a while. After all, there are no bacteria and viruses in Infinite City, and the water will not go bad if left for a long time."
Feng Xue seemed to be speaking casually, but Chen Xiyao keenly sensed that Feng Xue's body seemed to carry the smell of blood.
Although this smell is fading away at an extremely fast speed, this seems to be a good explanation of how many different smells Feng Xue has acquired during the time she disappeared.
"Could it be that..." Chen Xiyao suddenly turned her head to look in the direction of the stream, and there was nothing where the monster was lying before. This chapter has been completed!
