Young man, please stay

Chapter 375 Escape!

shuh…

shuh…

"How's it going over there?"

"No, it's a foggy swamp with no end in sight. What about you?"

"My side is a thorn forest."

……

After eating, the two men did not dwell on the "three unsolved mysteries" left by the late emperor. After figuring out a separate action plan to find a way out, they immediately put it into practice and once again began to break out from the grass hedge that surrounded this small world.

As a result, the two men tried more breakthrough points one by one and cut down one piece of hedge after another, but the world outside continued to change.

Qin Lang took advantage of the time when the hedges were cut to do some experiments and found that the hedges themselves grew on a circle of invisible borders. Even if Qin Lang stared at the front, once he stepped over these borders, a completely new and unfamiliar scene would come into view.

Qin Lang would not have any intuitive awareness of this process. It was a very difficult to describe feeling, as if he was experiencing a brief trance.

As long as Qin Lang turns around, this feeling will come up again, but since half of his body remains in the "boundary", the scene behind him will not change.

This was also confirmed when Qin Lang recalled the first time he was lost.

……

At that time, Qin Lang was looking for the empress and the regent. In fact, he felt a strange trance at some point in time, but he didn't take it seriously at the time.

Later when he realized something was wrong, he was completely lost and not halfway lost like he is now, so Qin Lang turned around and looked back without feeling dazed anymore.

……

Now when exploring the "border", Qin Lang did not dare to go deep. Each time, he could only keep half of his body within the border, for fear that if he left the border, the area behind him would disappear and become something else.

They also tried having two people each hold one end of the cloth strip. The result was that after one person stepped out of the boundary, the cloth strip disappeared from both people's hands. The sense of trance and loss seemed to be transmitted from the person who stepped out of the boundary to the other person through the cloth strip, so that the other person could not observe how the cloth strip disappeared from his or her hands.

Faced with such a strange and inexplicable phenomenon, after exploring for a while, Qin Lang and Bai Qingqing completely gave up this hopeless behavior.

--------

"My beloved concubine."

"Um…"

"Hehe~"

"?"

"You agreed right away. It seems you get used to it quickly."

"..."

The two men sat back to back by the campfire. No amount of time had passed since they discussed the late emperor's affairs, searched for a way out, and now.

"Qingqing, how early does the sun set in Mangzhou in winter?"

"Around the 4th hour."

"So, it's almost night now?"

"Ah."

……

All in all, although it seemed that a lot of things had happened, in fact, from the beginning of the Northern Hunt in the morning to now, it was only the afternoon, but the sky in the Ten Thousand Souls Forest was almost dark.

Darkness is dangerous even for an ordinary forest.

What’s more, it is the Forest of Ten Thousand Souls?

At this moment, Qin Lang could even feel some strange growls and hisses beginning to rise and fall outside this paradise.

Things are different now. The beasts in the Forest of Ten Thousand Souls are no longer as aggressive as they were in previous years. Crows that actively attack have appeared, as have humanoid rabbits and snakes. Who knows what else may be around.

"Qin Lang..."

"here I am."

"I'm sorry, I have caused you trouble..."

"???"

Qin Lang was startled, looked at the listless Regent, and said seriously:

"What are you talking about, Lord Bai?"

"I am just a little unwilling to die with you just after I got you... Alas..."

"..."

Qin Lang didn't know how much truth there was in Bai Qingqing's words, but at least he could see that Bai Qingqing was quite frustrated with the current situation. However, as the saying goes, a plant that was planted by accident can bring about a good harvest.

Just as Qin Lang looked up at the sky which was becoming increasingly darker at night, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Qingqing!"

"?"

"Hurry up the tree!"

"???"

Bai Qingqing was a little confused by these incoherent words. She wanted to touch Qin Xiaolang to see if her beloved concubine had a fever and started talking nonsense.

But after Qin Lang's repeated urging, the clever regent suddenly understood what Qin Lang meant.

"Yes, yes, yes! In the sky!"

Since we are always trapped in the "formation" on the ground, what about looking from a high place?
"Why didn't I think of it earlier?"

Although the two men's skills were suppressed, they still had no problem with basic lightness skills. They immediately jumped up to the tall peach tree by stepping on the ground.

The thing that was most abundant in the Forest of Ten Thousand Souls was tall trees. Now that Bai Qingqing's wound had been bandaged, she would not be affected by the peach blossoms. The two of them quickly climbed to the top of the tallest tree and poked their heads out from among the clusters of peach blossoms.

"Look, my dear!"

"?!"

Qin Lang looked in the direction of Bai Qingqing's finger. It was a few colorful sparks in the distance. It took Qin Lang a long time to distinguish them before he realized that they came from the camp of the Northern Hunt.

Most of the surroundings where I was at the moment were obscured by dense foliage and fog, and I could hardly see anything on the ground.

“It has actually reached such a deep level…”

In Qin Lang's memory, it shouldn't have been like this. It must have been because he was lost that he came to such a deep place.

Looking in the opposite direction of the camp, Qin Lang could even vaguely see the outline of some buildings. The style was very different from that of the Central Plains. He might have already seen Beili on the other side of the border.

"Qingqing, stay here first, I'll give it a try."

"Uh-huh."

Qin Lang and the Regent had a tacit understanding and both thought of a way to leave this place.

If the road on the ground is blocked, then why not go to "the sky"?
Qin Lang took a step, used his lightness skills, and easily landed on a relatively thick branch on the outer edge of the peach tree.

After a brief observation, Qin Lang took another flying step and found a branch of another tree that was within his reach.

Wow…

Wow…

After jumping a few times, he soon reached the "border" of this area, and was in a position where he could see the ground relatively clearly.

Qin Lang was quite nervous at this time.

If that invisible boundary also applies to "the sky", it would mean another hope is shattered.

He moved cautiously, just as he would if he were exploring on the ground. He first compared the boundary position on the ground, then stepped on the branches and slowly reached out his hand.

Then for a moment, Qin Lang felt a familiar feeling of loss and trance again.

But this time, the feeling was very weak. It seemed that the "certain formation" of the Ten Thousand Souls Forest had a weaker effect the higher the altitude.

And most importantly, unlike before, this time the feeling of being lost was fleeting.

When Qin Lang looked around again, he was surprised to find that nothing had changed, either in front of him or behind him.

"It's done! Qingqing!"

Qin Lang looked back happily, and the moment he saw the Regent also looking at him happily, he felt a sense of relief as if the clouds had cleared and the sun had appeared.

The “walking in the sky” method works!
----------

Therefore, Bai Qingqing and Qin Lang did not delay any longer. As soon as it got dark, they used their lightness skills to leave this "paradise" which was more or less full of memories.

Next, if the two wanted to escape from the Forest of Ten Thousand Souls, they just had to follow the direction of the campfire in the distance and carefully jump between the treetops like monkeys.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work.

Because they have important things to do.

"Yupan..."

“Small plates…”

Qin Lang and the Regent muttered to themselves almost at the same time. They looked up at each other and nodded tacitly. They were both determined to find the empress as soon as possible.
