Thousands of thoughts mixed with uncontrollable sadness came like a tide and drowned Ke Yue...
Time seemed to slow down, and Ke Yue's mood gradually became calmer as time passed. She turned around and found that Chu Qi was standing silently behind her at some unknown time.
"If I guessed correctly, we were separated after all. Master once said to me: Mountains and seas will eventually return, wind and rain will always meet, fate is destiny. Maybe we will meet again soon after turning a corner...
"
Facing Ke Yue's gaze, Chu Qi seemed like a big brother comforting her, shedding her former naughty monkey nature and becoming warm and steady.
"Thank you, you are very good at comforting girls!" Ke Yue really felt much better after hearing Chu Qi's words.
"Stop laughing at me and bullying me for not having read a book?"
Chu Qili replied angrily, but his eyes were looking around at the tall and colorful plants.
He looked around and found no trace of human fireworks, so he couldn't help but blurt out, "We have just escaped from the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den again!"
"In an uncertain world, why bother blindly guessing and lying? It will only increase the sorrow, and the misfortune and misfortune will be equal to each other. If it is a disaster for you and me, what is supposed to come will always come..."
Before Ke Yue finished speaking, Chu Qi grabbed the words with confidence, "Then I will be the savior of the disaster."
Ke Yue laughed out loud, "Young man has high aspirations, I wish you will live up to your dreams and live up to your youth."
"Are you laughing at me? I'm serious!" Chu Qi said angrily with eyes wide open.
Ke Yue put away her smile and looked serious, "I'm serious too."
Chu Qi showed her white teeth and smiled happily, "Sometimes your expression is exactly the same as that of the Great Protector Yumei."
Seeing that Ke Yue didn't respond to him, Chu Qi paused and scratched his head and said, "Maybe Yao'er and the others are near us, why don't we look for them first."
"Well, that's the right answer!"
…
Ke Yue and Chu Qi walked side by side without direction. What made people feel strange was that in the clear blue sky, there was no trace of the sun.
Without the coordinates of the sun, the two of them could not identify the direction. Every time Chu Qi walked a certain distance, he would bend down and make a conspicuous road sign, "If Yao'er and the others get here, they can find us by following the road sign."
Ke Yue stopped and looked, and there seemed to be waves flashing in the distance... She held her breath and listened, but she couldn't hear the sound of gurgling water, which made her feel strange.
Ke Yue quickly caught up with Chu Qi, "You once mentioned that the Great Protector Yumei said something about fate, can you tell me about it?"
Chu Qi turned her head and looked at Ke Yue in surprise, "Well, my memory is not very good, maybe something is wrong... She said that life is like a book, the content has been written, and every moment of our day is nothing.
It’s just the first time I’ve read that page!”
"Do you believe it?"
"letter!"
"Then this book of mine may be an incomplete book. There are missing pages and I need to add them!"
After Ke Yue finished speaking, she quickly ran towards a mist-filled river in front of her. Under the clear water, the bottom of the river could not be seen. It flowed quietly without making any sound, just like the legendary Milky Way in the fairyland... It was even more obvious.
Blurred and mysterious.
"Chu Qi, come here quickly!" Ke Yue stood on the bank of the stream and shouted loudly.
Chu Qi ran over and looked at where Ke Yue pointed, and was shocked. Two large and very clear human footprints were visible in the sand and mud on the bank of the stream.
Chu Qi hurriedly knelt down and measured the footprints with his hands, then stood up and said, "The average length of the two footprints is one and a half feet. The left foot should be more seriously disabled."
Ke Yue looked at the footprints and fell into deep thought. After a moment, she slowly said: "If seven feet are the length of a person, he should be a giant more than ten feet tall."
"Ah, really? There has been a legend about the Kingdom of Giants circulating in the world. It is said that the giants there are extremely powerful and have bad tempers. I thought it was a story?"
"It's true. Not only are there legends about the Kingdom of Giants in the world, but the ancient sacred book handed down from ancient times, "The Strange Book of the World" in Dorje's hand, also has records about the Kingdom of Giants."
"It's great to be able to read and write!"
Chu Qi looked at Ke Yue with envious eyes and sighed sincerely.
"Are you jealous? If you want to learn, I can teach you. How about you start with simple things like up, down, heaven and earth?"
"No, I'm going to start with your name!"
Hearing this, Ke Yue's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment. She pushed Chu Qi into the river with her palm and said angrily, "Let's see if you dare to talk nonsense!"
Chu Qi's arms were struggling exaggeratedly in the river, and water splashed everywhere...
"Save... me!"
Ke Yue jumped into the water without hesitation, stretched out her hand to Chu Qi, "Hold... me."
Chu Qi pretended to be drowning, but laughed and swam away along the current...
"You lied to me!"
Ke Yue said as she spread her arms and chased after him.
The two of them chased each other and swam along the river for who knows how long... Suddenly, the water walls vibrated rhythmically, as if they were breathing, and the surrounding space suddenly shook and distorted, like a torn screen.
Space-time was bent in an instant.
…
Chuqi looked back and pointed at the sky and shouted, "Look... there is a sun!"
Ke Yue looked up, the bright sunshine shrouded the green land, and the towering mountains in the distance glowed golden in the sun. She couldn't help but think to herself, "Could these be two different alien continents? This mysterious road
Are rivers space-time tunnels that pass through alien lands?”
Before Ke Yue could ponder these questions carefully, the gentle river suddenly became turbulent, and with the sound of flowing water, it meandered towards the valley ahead.
Chu Qi jumped out of the water and stood on the shore, looked around, stretched out his hand to smooth his wet hair, and suddenly heard a "swish!" sound. He knew something was wrong, and suddenly turned sideways, and an arrow whizzed and rubbed against it.
Cheeks fly...
He was secretly glad in his heart, but unexpectedly he felt a huge pain in his left shoulder, "Be careful of the hidden crossbow arrows!"
Before Chu Qi finished speaking, he fell to the ground with a plop.
Ke Yue let out a sweet cry, jumped out of the water, stepped on the water with lotus steps, and crossed the waves, thinking of rushing to the shore to rescue her.
"Whoops!"
Suddenly, she heard a roar similar to that of an ape, streaking across the sky. In an instant, arrows like raindrops struck her...
With an "Ouch" sound, Ke Yue was caught off guard and her calf was pierced by an arrow. The pain caused her body to sway and fall into the water. She dived into the bottom of the water and followed the rapids. A bright red line was drawn on the water...
Following a burst of hurried footsteps, several bamboo spears pierced the water and slid into the water beside her, stirring up red water splashes, which showed that the spear thrower's speed and strength were amazing.
The injured calf soon lost all feeling, and Ke Yue was confused for a moment. She couldn't help but secretly thought: "This arrow must have been smeared with poison. Thanks to the penetrating injury, the poison is weak, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."
Ke Yue held her breath and took out a dagger from her waist to cut off a piece of cloth, then curled her body and simply bandaged the wound.
She held the dagger in her mouth, grasped the dark rocks at the bottom of the water with both hands, and slowly moved towards the shore like a frogman... She was also constantly searching for information in her heart, "Could the attacker be the one legendary in "The Strange Tales of the World"?
