The wind was blowing the leaves, and the moonlight was pouring down on the forest floor like water. Ke Yue and Chu Qi gathered around the bonfire, and the smell of the barbecue on their faces made the two teenagers temporarily forget about the unknown dangers of living in a different dimension.
Enjoy the beautiful scenery of frogs and cicadas, the swaying fire, and the flowing moonlight, blending into a harmonious and warm artistic conception.
"It tastes really delicious! Well...some people say that being able to use fire to grill meat is the first step for mankind to enter a civilized society."
Ke Yue chewed the pheasant robber with great taste and sighed sincerely.
Chu Qi flipped the roasted rabbit in his hand and looked up at Ke Yue, "It is God's oracle that mankind has entered the civilized era; but it is what I have to do to keep you well fed, and it is also what I have to do to escape from the alien world.
The first step in the Dimensional Continent.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew in the forest, and with a "bang" sound, the flames shot up so high with the thick smoke... Chu Qi hurriedly wiped the tears choked by the thick smoke with the back of his hand, and wiped the smoke from his eyes.
The black face turned into a painted face, with white spots and black spots...
Ke Yue looked up and stared at the brilliant starry sky. The night sky was still deep and the stars were still bright, just as beautiful as the night on the grasslands of the Western Regions. And the desire for delicious food was still the same... The cozy campfire dinner finally came to an end with reluctance.
.
On the seventh day of the lunar month, I dug a deep pit under a big rock and buried all the leftover bones, unburned wood and other waste materials in the deep pit.
After Ke Yue carefully cleaned the ground where the bonfire was barbecued, it basically returned to its original appearance.
Chu Qi walked over and took a look, gently removed the obvious traces of someone's activities, and then found some dead grass to apply on it. All traces of activity also disappeared, making it difficult to find traces... Only then did the two of them feel comfortable.
Leave.
…
Ke Yue and Chu Qi walked side by side in this peaceful and heavenly forest, and the surrounding scenery was either bright or dark in the light orange moonlight.
"The first step is as you wished. It's a victory in the first battle. What are your plans for the next step?"
Ke Yue turned her face sideways, looked at Chu Qi, blinked and asked.
"I have no plan, I can only choose the opportunity. In addition, Uncle Monster said before his death, 'The village...the North Star...there is a tree hole.' It's like a puzzle. The North Star is in the night sky, how can it be in the village of the tree house? Until now
It’s hard for me to understand what it means!”
Chu Qi spoke very quickly, with a hint of anxiety in his tone.
"I have a rough idea of the direction in my mind, but I just need to go near the 'Tree House Village' and observe it carefully before I can be sure."
Ke Yue replied calmly.
"Do you really have a solution?"
Chu Qi smiled with white teeth and asked in surprise.
"Hey, my little girl never tells lies." Ke Yue blinked deliberately, imitating Chu Qi's usual tone.
"Stop being so pretentious, tell me quickly!" Chu Qi urged anxiously.
"Okay, let me ask you, how do you find the North Star in the vast night sky?"
"Well, you must first find the Big Dipper, then follow the line connecting the two stars Tianquan and Tianshu at Doukou, and look about 5 times the distance toward Doukou, and then you will find the North Star."
As Chu Qi spoke, he raised his head and looked at the starry sky, "But what does this difference between heaven and earth have to do with the tree hole?
Ke Yue pursed her lips and smiled, "Then let me ask you, what would happen if the people in the village were the guards guarding the passage, and someone used the tree house to build the Big Dipper array in order to protect the entrance of the passage more secretly?"
Before Ke Yue could finish her words, Chu Qi suddenly stopped, opened her mouth, and looked at Ke Yue blankly, with a look of surprise and realization in her eyes, "Yes... yes, this is the answer I am looking for!
"
…
In the vast darkness, two black shadows with agile figures, moving like rabbits, flew together through the gloomy dense forest.
Ke and Yue leaned on the crown branches of a big tree, looking from a distance under the moonlight. They saw that the "Tree House Village" was as quiet as death. Although there were people moving around, the surrounding vigilance was abnormally relaxed...
"The distance is too far. I can't clearly see the Big Dipper array in the village tree house. I need to move forward a little further." Chu Qi said softly with a sideways glance.
"It's so abnormal. It must be a trap set up to invite you to fall into the trap. You must be more careful! Use cleverness, not brute force, and don't use force!"
Ke Yue murmured incessantly, urging Chu Qi uneasily. She suddenly felt that since she and Chu Qi had been getting along recently, she had begun to nag involuntarily.
Chu Qi said "hmm" and shook his figure. His back quickly disappeared from Ke Yue's sight. Ke Ke tried her best to open her eyes wide to see Chu Qi's figure...
In order to broaden his field of vision, Chu Qi hung his body half on the canopy of the tree, with his whole body supported by only one arm. He did not dare to blink, staring at the village closely, not letting go of any clues. But until his arms became stiff, he did not dare to blink.
Numb, except for the occasional vague figure walking around in the village, no clues could be seen.
Time passed slowly bit by bit in the night. It was already midnight, but the village was still the same as the still picture at the beginning, without any change. On the seventh day of the lunar month, my mood began to become anxious and irritable.
His stiff and numb arms seemed to have lost consciousness. He had to change his arms to support him for a rest, but he accidentally touched the bow and arrow carried behind him. Suddenly, he had a secret plan to plot against Chen Cang, and thought to himself: "Success or failure tonight depends on this one move."
Chu Qi hurriedly retracted his body, adjusted his body shape, randomly aimed at the looming figure in the village, held his breath and concentrated, took the bow and shot, "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" He fired three arrows in a row. As expected, the arrows flew in the air.
It fell to the ground halfway, making a crisp sound... After a burst of rapid footsteps, the village returned to silence.
After a while, a soft light suddenly lit up in a tree house. This kind of light was very strange, very full and soft, but it had a strong ability to travel through. "Why is it like the light emitted by luminous gems?" Chu Qi couldn't help but wonder.
Somewhat confused.
Then came the second room, the third room, the fourth room... He counted secretly excitedly, 1, 2, 3... 7. A dipper-shaped Big Dipper array formed by seven shining tree houses.
, like seven diamonds, dazzling in the night.
Chu Qi couldn't believe his eyes. He checked again from Doukou, Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan. His eyes followed the trend towards Dou Tiao's Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang, "Finally I found them."
You!"
Chu Qi moved her body upward again and looked around, visually inspecting the two tree houses occupying Tianquan and Tianshu positions. Then she followed the straight line formed by the two houses and slowly looked towards the direction of Doukou with expectation.
But found nothing.
Chu Qi was a little disappointed, but more unwilling to do so. He firmly believed that Ke Yue's guess and judgment was correct. "What went wrong?" Chu Qi asked secretly.
"Could it be a matter of angle?" Chu Qi speculated in his mind. He slowly slipped down from the tree and walked more than ten steps to the southeast. He stopped under a big tree and looked up.
, then jumped up and flew into the tree.
Chu Qi once again determined his position and took a closer look. Sure enough, in a straight line between the two tree houses, about five times the distance, a small hidden black tree house was vaguely visible.
