Starting from the place where the pain first appeared, Xiaolan's pain, touch, and hearing... returned to her body little by little.
Vision also seems to be returning.
Xiaolan made a move to open her eyes and rubbed her eyes again. Only then did she realize that she couldn't see things because she didn't open her eyes.
Surrounded by rootless blackness, Xiaolan could feel the solid earth beneath her body and the moist soil at hand. The soft air in her nose carried the aroma of soil and grass buds.
Very familiar, very familiar.
But this smell does not belong to the Ten-Day Banquet, nor does it belong to this game venue built of steel and concrete.
Xiaolan's first reaction was that this was not the real world.
Have you not returned to reality yet?
Or... will you be sent to a place like this after you die?
Xiaolan stood up and walked forward while carefully exploring her feet.
There is soil, stones, and grass on the ground. The breeze blows by your ears, and you can even hear the rustling of leaves.
No... Could it be that I am blind?
No way?
Xiaolan rubbed her eyes vigorously again.
There is no pain, no dryness or astringency, and I feel very healthy.
Forget it, forget it.
As she walked, her hands stretched forward suddenly touched a rough tree trunk. Xiaolan walked around the big tree and continued walking forward.
It seems like this is a forest.
After a while, the land under my feet began to turn uphill, and I should have reached the foot of a mountain.
Xiaolan walked up the hillside holding on to the invisible tree trunk.
On the mountain, some distant echoes could be heard. There was something mixed in the sound of the wind that Xiaolan could not hear clearly.
If it's Baomu, it should be fine.
Thinking of Baomu, Xiaolan finally felt a sense of sadness that the game ended early. She didn't know how Baomu was doing now. Did he survive by luck, or was he thrown into such a dark place after death like himself?
Linzi.
Best of all, Baomu has walked out of the desert.
Xiaolan's mind wandered, and when she reached forward with her right foot, it was empty.
She quickly grabbed the big tree beside her, lowered her body and stepped on it.
Fortunately, it was just downhill.
Just be careful and you'll be fine...
However, suddenly, Xiaolan's stretched out foot stepped on a bunch of floating leaves and suddenly fell in. Her body slipped and her fingernails left five scratches on the tree trunk, but she still could not stop falling.
ending.
Xiaolan fell to the ground, fell, and rolled...
It's really unlucky.
"Ouch...oh my god..."
Xiaolan listened to her own wails and the echoes of her wails. After her lower back hit a thick tree trunk hard, she finally stopped. Xiaolan couldn't tell whether the pain was a new injury or an old one. Anyway, it was all wounds all over her body.
, it hurts everywhere.
She staggered up, explored with her hands and feet, and found that she had finally fallen to the foot of the mountain.
It's still safe down the mountain.
Xiaolan tidied her clothes and rubbed the bruises on her body.
There is a pleasant sound of wind in my ears.
"Really!" Xiaolan kicked away a stone angrily and complained dissatisfiedly.
"Really, really, really, really..."
A loud echo spread.
What the hell is this place?
"What do you want me to do?..."
"What are you doing, what are you doing, what are you doing..."
It's so annoying that the echo is so annoying.
Xiaolan staggered a few steps.
"I'm not the only one here, am I?"
"Alone alone, alone alone..."
Xiaolan felt that she had been ridiculed.
She limped and pushed aside a clump of leaves.
"……here……"
Her entire body, the blood in her body, and the air outside her body seemed to be frozen.
"……here……"
This is not what I said.
Here, there are other people's voices.
***
At first glance, this jungle looks no different from the rainforest Baomu encountered before, but it has more things than that rainforest.
Inside the jungle, there are many exotic flowers and plants with strange colors growing. The orange petals and lavender rattans sway slightly in the wind, as if they are declaring sovereignty, threatening outsiders not to approach easily.
Xiaolan turned around and looked at the desert filled with wind and sand.
You have to make a choice between two dilemmas.
But only by continuing to explore can we possibly break the situation.
Baomu avoided the dangerous-looking stone fern at his feet and gently entered the jungle.
There were only plants and no animals in the jungle, which made Baomu even more convinced that the plants here were poisonous.
His footsteps echoed among the fallen leaves and soil, and suddenly, he stopped.
Baomu's ears moved.
The Son of Light poked his head out.
It started to move excitedly and wanted to jump out of Baomu's arms, but he held it down.
"Shh!——"
Rustling... rustling...
In the distance, other people's voices sounded.
Baomu remembered Xiaolan's idea and became vigilant at first.
Everyone except yourself is your enemy.
but……
In the moist and sour air, a familiar smell appeared.
The Son of Light was the first to recognize the smell and howled happily.
Baomu finally recalled the owner of this smell...
Behind a two-meter-high blue-black flower bush, a delicate face appeared.
"Child of Light?"
Ah Zhen's shoulder-length hair fell to the sides of her cheeks, and the blue-purple petals highlighted her pale and thin face. Ah Zhen was thinner and more haggard than when we parted, but her vibrant eyes were still bright.
"Azhen!" Baomu and the Son of Light howled together, and ran towards the confused boy with aggrieved face.
"Why are you here?" Ah Zhen walked out from behind the flowers. Sure enough, his clothes were in tatters. I don't know what happened to him in these few days, "Eh? What's the matter?
You’re the only one? Where’s Xiaolan?”
Baomu was finally overcome by these words, and while choking, he told Ah Zhen what happened in the desert.
"A catfish oasis?" Ah Zhen's eyes widened, "Have you discovered such a desert?"
Baomu nodded, "Every oasis represents the existence of a catfish..."
"Where is that desert?" Ah Zhen asked hurriedly.
Baomu was stunned for a moment, looked at Ah Zhen's anxious look, and slowly pointed behind him, "You...you want to go to that desert?"
"If I'm not mistaken, that desert is..." A Zhen suddenly changed the subject in the middle of his sentence and raised his eyes to Bao Mudao, "Can you take me there?"
Baomu and Azhen looked at each other deeply for a few times, and then he reluctantly realized that maybe deep down in his heart, there was an irrational part that wanted to go back.
He nodded, "I'll take you there."
Baomu took Ah Zhen silently on the way he came.
Possibly because of the low pressure caused by their tired looks, the two were silent all the way. Baomu didn't care much. After all, he had gone deep into the jungle, and the desert was waiting for them not far away...
