Chapter 289 Longkou and Shekou

Bai Mo was bound by a strange "rope", which was a kind of colorful metal, like a bright and deadly poisonous snake, slowly flowing around his body.

While he felt unable to move, he also felt that his physical strength was continuously passing away, and his spirit was getting weaker.

The dazzling light curtain enveloped him like a thin film, causing him to feel a strong sense of weakness. Even his desire seemed to be gradually disappearing, and he had no thought of breaking free from the shackles at all.

In front of him stood a woman with heavy makeup.

"Let me introduce, the thing on your body is called the Iron Curtain Light Prison. It is said that it is a random creation of a great being. Under normal circumstances, it will restrain the first person who touches the light curtain, but since I know the key ' What is it, so now you will bear the price of opening the door."

With a smile on his face, Li Youji continued, "Also, if you don't release the Iron Curtain Light Prison as soon as possible, your desire and physical strength will continue to be lost, and you will eventually fall into a state of complete numbness both mentally and physically, um... Probably similar to a vegetable, right?"

"Then remove it." Bai Mo's face remained normal, "I know you have a way."

Li Youji smiled: "I know the way to release the bondage is correct...but why did I let you go?"

"I can see that you need me to help you achieve something - time is running out, but if you really want to waste time talking nonsense, then I'm willing to accompany you."

Li Youji was slightly taken aback, then sighed: "It's easy to talk to smart people, but I don't know why, but your attitude always makes people very uncomfortable..."

The next second, she smiled and continued, "But you are right, I do need your help, and in exchange for your help, I will let you out."

She spoke calmly, without the realization that she was the culprit who caused Bai Mo to fall into such a situation.

"Okay, I agree."

Li Youji said unexpectedly: "Don't you wonder what it is?"

"I want to remind you again, time is running out."

"It seems that you seem to be in a hurry..."

Li Youji looked at Bai Mo meaningfully.

"No." Bai Mo shook his head slightly, "I mean you don't have much time."

Li Youji was taken aback, took a deep look at the other party again, and said with a smile: "Since you are so smart, you should also know that I am a weak woman—and in order to prevent you from hurting me after you get out of trouble, I want you to eat this thing."

She took out a bug that looked like a cockroach from the neckline.

——That's right, the neckline on the chest, exactly where it is placed is unknown.

Li Youji caressed the bug for a moment, then suddenly smiled coquettishly, as if he wanted to say something more, but Bai Mo opened his mouth at this moment.

The extremely cooperative appearance seemed to require her to spend no more time talking.

Sure enough, a smart man...

If I remember correctly... this should be the easiest time I've ever fed phantom bugs, right?

Seeing that the other party swallowed the illusion worm honestly, Li Youji couldn't help feeling emotional in his heart.

"Is that okay?" Bai Mo said.

"Of course, I always keep my word, so I'll let you go."

As Li Youji said, he began to fiddle with Bai Mo's body. Not long after, the light curtain on Bai Mo's body disappeared, and the flowing metal wrapped around his body poured into the ground, as if it had never appeared before.

Bai Mo soon regained his freedom, but maybe because his physical strength was absorbed too much, a deep tiredness appeared in his eyes, combined with that pale face, there was a feeling of excessive indulgence.

But Li Youji obviously didn't have time to let him rest, he said seriously: "Time is running out, let's move forward as soon as possible—Brother Baiwu, you explore the way ahead."

Different from the timid attitude before, his tone is completely commanding now.

After the words were finished, a trace of confusion flashed across Bai Mo's eyes. Without saying a word, he actually walked forward and used his body to open the way, with a very dull expression on his face.

Li Youji was always paying attention to Bai Mo's expression, seeing that there was nothing unusual, he was relieved.

The appearance of the other party at this moment is exactly the same as those guys who were affected by the illusion insect before, and she has successfully felt the deep connection with the illusion insect - the little guy is now growing safely in the white mist, indicating that everything is fine .

The two walked forward quickly.

And starting from the seventh gate, the Forest of Steel seems to have really begun to show its horror.

The terrain in front of it suddenly changed greatly. It was no longer a straight passage, but a weird cave with strange rocks.

The warm light disappeared without knowing when, and the front was dark, and I could barely see. There was a strange cry coming from the depths of the cave, which made people feel inexplicably panicked.

Perhaps because he knew the horror of the cave, Li Youji's expression turned serious, and he followed behind Bai Mo vigilantly, he was willing to follow after confirming that the road the other party had traveled was safe.

There are everything in the cave, trees, rivers, and even various creatures, but everything is made of metal and seems to have life.

The two of them moved forward all the way, when a black crocodile made of metal suddenly jumped out of the silver swamp in front of them. On his body, there was a hideous wound on his waist.

If his body wasn't hard enough, I'm afraid this bite, which is enough to split gold and crack stones, would be enough to tear him in half.

However, even in the face of such a serious injury, Bai Mo remained expressionless. The first time he was attacked, he grabbed the crocodile's upper and lower jaws, and with a sudden force, directly tore its mouth in half.

Li Youji who was behind witnessed this scene, and couldn't help being a little shocked.

The illusion worm is not a supernatural ability, but more like a Gu worm. Although it can change part of the cognition of the cursed person, it can't change the character of the opponent. In other words, the man in front of him is a very tough guy. That's why I can face such pain without changing my face.

There are many dangers along the way, most of the attacks are unavoidable, Bai Mo can only choose to resist with his body, even though his speed and reaction are far beyond ordinary people, at this time there are many wounds on his body, the bleeding is stopped all over, his body is crumbling, As if he could die at any moment.

Li Youji was shocked, but he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, he said that luckily he met this guy halfway, otherwise, if it was Zhang Meng, he might not be able to survive this test at all, right?

"Brother Baiwu, are you alright?" she asked worriedly.

Bai Mo in front did not turn his head, and said in a weak voice: "Don't worry, You Ji, I will definitely send you out of the Forest of Steel safely."

Li Youji used the phantom worm to change Bai Mo's cognition, making the other party regard him as his important sister. He was a little confused at first, after all, he didn't understand this guy's nature, who knew that the effect was surprisingly good——This guy seems to be She is a crazy sister-protecting demon, who protected her tightly along the way.

Every time the two took a step, an iron curtain would fall behind them. As time went by, the speed of the iron curtain falling became faster and faster, which meant that they had no way out and could only keep moving forward. Mu Kuai even ran straight away.

Li Youji saw a lot of corpses on the way, these were undoubtedly the losers who entered the Forest of Steel, and died tragically behind the seventh door due to various reasons.

While running, she locked her eyes on the wall above her head, as if she was looking for something.

However, she found nothing until the eighth door appeared.

"Information says that thing is between the seventh door and the ninth door, and if it's not behind the seventh door, then it should be behind the eighth door..."

Thinking of this, Li Youji estimated the time secretly. According to the current progress, as long as there are no accidents, the two should be able to open the final gate and leave the forest of steel within three hours.

At that time...

The guy named Bai Wu in front of me will most likely die due to excessive blood loss, and she will leave the library as the only survivor. Although that Xiao Sheng will have doubts about her survival, at least he should be able to do so before then. Keep credit.

She will be free of guilt and have time to leave the library.

And at that time, she only needs to leave the things and the information in the designated place, so that the task will be considered completed-even if she has to be arrested and tortured afterwards, it doesn't matter, she doesn't have to worry about anything... I believe Yan Luo can handle everything easily.

"If the task is completed, Master He Shang will be very happy, right?"

Thinking like this, she didn't even look at Bai Mo, who was covered in blood, and silently looked at the two bloody mouths in front of her——

On the left is a metal dragon, and on the right is a metal snake. The bodies of the two huge metal creations are glued together, just blocking the passage, and both have opened their bloody mouths, which are black and big enough to allow an adult to pass through.

This is the eighth door—

But this time it seems that there is no door lock to be "cracked", and it is a choice to face.

The two big mouths undoubtedly represent two doors, leading to different passages.

And whether to go to Longkou or Shekou, this is undoubtedly a question worth thinking about.

There is not much time left, once you make a wrong choice, there is absolutely no chance to start over, and you can only be trapped to death in this forest of steel.

Time passed by little by little, Li Youji frowned, feeling very anxious in his heart.

The situation of the eighth door is not specified in the Apocalypse, and there is not even a hint, which means that she can only rely on her own judgment to make a choice.

Dragons and snakes... any moral?

Without any information, she was actually more inclined to choose Shekou.

After all, the Forest of Steel is built near the library, with a total length of ten kilometers, so it is obviously not a straight road, but a circular spiral passage, and it may be connected end to end—this is more in line with the characteristics of a snake.

If you think about it further, the snake connected end to end has many meanings, such as cycle and infinite meaning, and the forest of steel eventually leads to the library, which is the so-called sea of ​​knowledge, in which there is naturally infinite knowledge , consistent with the meaning of ouroboros.

And this is more in line with the name "Boundless".

...If you think about it this way, entering Shekou may be the right choice.

However, it is not impossible to choose Longkou. It is rumored that the dragon is the strongest creature in the world, and its physical strength surpasses most metals. This may mean the original intention of the "Trial of the Body" of the Forest of Steel...

It's hard to choose...

The more Li Youji thought about it, the more he had a headache. Without any clues, there were too many directions in which his thinking could extend, so his thinking became more chaotic.

She had no idea that this crucial door was facing a difficult choice.

There are very few opportunities to enter the forest of steel, and even by violating the rules of the boundless city, Li Youji managed to win the opportunity to enter the forest of steel, so she attaches great importance to this choice——

Once the wrong choice is made, the consequences will be disastrous.

However, just when Li Youji was hesitating, the white ink in front of him suddenly moved and walked straight towards the dragon's mouth.

"Brother Baiwu?"

"It's too late, come with me!"

Bai Mo dropped a sentence, and ran into the dragon's mouth at a faster speed, completely refusing to give Li Youji a chance to speak.

Li Youji hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and chose to follow.

In a sense, Bai Mo's choice was not wrong——

Since there is no clue, there is no need to continue to procrastinate. The chance of passing through the door is [-]/[-]. When time is tight, a gamble might give you a chance.

Even if she can't complete the sabotage task, and she won't get the thing mentioned in the Apocalypse, she has to go out alive, pass on all the information about the Forest of Steel, and make full preparations for the next operation——

With such thoughts in mind, Li Youji stepped forward.

And as she entered the dragon's mouth, the mouth of the giant metal dragon behind her closed suddenly, like a heavily closed door, without giving her the slightest chance to repent.

The passage is narrow and darker than the previous "cave".

Li Youji took a deep breath.

"Brother Baiwu?"

"Brother Baiwu..."

"Brother Wu..."

"elder brother……"

She tentatively called out, but she didn't hear a response, all she could hear was the echo——

She didn't see Bai Mo's figure.

There is not much time left, Li Youji didn't dare to hesitate too much, took a deep breath, maintained sufficient vigilance, and resolutely walked forward.

However, nothing happened along the way, and she never saw Bai Mo's figure, and he seemed to have completely disappeared.

"Perhaps the danger ahead has been eliminated by that guy..."

While thinking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind Li Youji.

Her heart tightened, and she hurriedly looked to the rear. Just as she was about to make a move, her expression suddenly changed.

A shaky figure appeared behind her. The figure was none other than Bai Mo who had disappeared for a long time.

"Why are you behind me?" She said in amazement, with cold sweat breaking out on her forehead.

"You are here..."

Bai Mo also showed doubts: "I want to ask why you are in front of me, I have obviously walked forward for a long time..."

Li Youji's pupils constricted, and he suddenly lost his mind and said: "Wait, what do you mean...you walked straight after you came in, you were obviously always in front of me, but somehow you walked behind me?"

A terrible conjecture appeared in her heart, lingering for a long time.

"No... That's right." Bai Mo said weakly.

There were scars and blood all over his body, and he seemed to be completely exhausted at this time, and he couldn't even speak clearly.

"Damn!"

After leaving the words, Li Youji's fist hit the smooth metal wall heavily, with an ugly expression on his face.

She seems to have chosen the wrong...

It is not Shekou that will enter the "infinite loop", but Longkou where they are!
