Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 112 Lost Forest
If the person walking next to me is Yazai, I can still joke with him to make myself less nervous.But next to it is Kumbu, a full-bodied gourd.

"Have you met Tashi before?"

Just when I thought I was going to keep walking like this, Kumbu carved a mark on a tree, and then turned to me and asked.

"Ah?" I didn't react, and then I shook my head: "I haven't seen it before, what's the matter, he appeared again?"

Kunbu glanced at me, and said calmly: "I found traces of Gu insects on that body exorcist, but it wasn't mine."

I was silent. When Tashi told me not to mention it to Kumbu, didn’t I think that Kumbu could still see something strange from the corpse driver?Or did he think we'd never run into a dead man again?
Kumbu didn't speak anymore, and I didn't know what to say, so I could only walk with my head depressed, leaving marks on the tree like him from time to time.

"How long has it been?" After walking for a while, Kumbu carved a mark again and asked me looking up.

I looked at my watch and said it was twenty minutes.

"Well, be careful next time." Kunbu released Shadow Gu again, leading the way, his eyes followed Shadow Gu all the time, and I was in charge of carving a mark on the tree every once in a while.

Just walking in silence like this, the closer I got to the appointed time, the more nervous I became. I hoped to see Lao Yan and the others, but I was also afraid of seeing them, because no matter what the result was, it would not be a good result.

"Here we are." Kunbu said suddenly, I paused, and saw a few figures faintly appearing in front of me.

I rubbed my eyes. Although they were still a little far away, it was obviously Laoyan and the others. That is to say, I and Kumbu kept walking, but we ended up walking behind.

"Old..." I was about to shout, but Kumbu interrupted me.

I looked at him suspiciously, and he asked me with a solemn expression how I was sure that the ones in front of me were Lao Yan and the others.

"Who else could it be?" I became even more suspicious.

Kunbu looked more solemn: "If our consciousness is indeed affected, then what is in front of us is probably also a product of unconsciousness."

I was a little uncertain about what he said, and then I had to say that I can only go up to confirm, I can't just stay here.

Kumbu nodded, making me think that if something goes wrong, I will run away immediately!

I held the dagger in my hand, and approached Lao Yan and the others cautiously. When they were about to approach, they should have heard the movement and turned around to see us. Everyone's eyes were filled with astonishment.

Lao Yan was the first to speak: "You guys really came back..."

"En." I just replied, not daring to say more, for fear that Lao Yan in front of me was really a fake.

Lao Yan frowned, and asked me what I was doing with a dagger in my hand.

"Isn't this being marked along the way, and it hasn't been put away for a while." I responded quickly.

Kumbu on the side stared at them, and asked slowly after a while, "How long have we been walking?"

"Half an hour." Lao Yan's face became even weirder: "What's going on with you one or two? Could it be that you encountered something on the road?"

I breathed a sigh of relief, hearing this meaning should not be someone we imagined.I glanced at Kumbu, and saw him nodding his head, and then I noticed that his Shadow Gu had crept up to Lao Yan's shoulder at some point, and crawled back now. It's just to divert Lao Yan's attention.

"What should we do now?"

When we got together, we were all frowning.

"Let's keep going forward." I stretched out my arm and pulled it: "Every section of the road will leave a mark, which means that the trees encountered on the road should all be real! The reason why the illusion is an illusion is that some of it Things are not real things, so from this point of view, what we encountered should not be an illusion, but we just kept going forward, but we didn’t know when we turned a corner and turned to the back. I think the problem is when we hit Ben, why don't you feel anything?"

In the process of walking forward, we have to make a turn and turn to the back, or go back, at least two or three times in the middle, but we didn't notice it at all.

Lao Yan smoked twice in a row without frowning. He picked up a branch from the ground and drew while talking: "If we turned a corner halfway and we didn't notice it, then there must be some trees in front and behind. Mark, we were going forward before, what if we go backward now?"

"Go back?" I was stunned, we haven't thought about this yet.

Lao Yan nodded: "That's right, we walked all the way from the bottom of the cliff, and there is no problem with this place until now, so can we go back to the bottom of the cliff? If we can go back, can we see The mark you engraved, when we count the time, we will know how long it takes to go forward and there will be problems, so we won’t always be kept in the dark.”

"Not bad!" My eyes lit up, and we walked for half an hour. If we can go back and get to the place where the mark disappears, the time can be determined, then the remaining time is the time for us to go forward, and then we can see See exactly what is clouding our judgment.

"Then what if you go backwards and come out from the front again?" Yazai leaned against the big tree, apparently not trusting this method.

Lao Yan pressed the butt of the cigarette on the ground, saying that he could only try.

"Or should I go with Kumbu?" Naturally, I have no objection, anyway, I'm trapped now, so it's better to try than not to try.

What makes me feel strange is that Kumbu refused, and directly ordered Yazai to join me, saying that Yazai is the successor of the encyclopedia, and there may be some details that we have overlooked on the road.

Yazai, who was named by Kumbu, looked pale, but he didn't refute, and pulled me towards the way we came from.

"What's the matter, Kumbu appreciates you, why are you still frowning?" After walking a certain distance, I saw that Yazai was still gloomy, and said curiously.

Yazai glanced at me, then lowered his head and stepped on the branch and said, "You don't understand, once Kumbu appreciates someone, either that person is really better than him, or...he must be thinking of something. Toss this man."

I didn't believe it, but Yazai's expression didn't look like a fake, so I could only comfort him and said: "What can he do to you, now we are all grasshoppers tied to a rope, don't worry."

"That's right, he really dares to torment me! I'll complain to Master when I get back." Yazai snorted, looking arrogant, I was amused by him, and my heavy heart eased a little.

We walked for about 10 minutes, Yazai pointed to a tree and asked me, did we make the mark on it?

"That's right..." I was a little confused. The sign we agreed on was a cross, and the one on the tree was indeed a cross.But this should not be carved by me, because the cross I carved is not so big.

Yazai frowned, it seemed that the cross was very attractive to him, I was a little puzzled and asked him if there was something wrong with the cross?

"No problem, but I don't understand why we have to carve another mark here." Yazai looked back and said that our marks were carved almost every three or four trees along the way, but the last tree already had one. marked.

And the mark in front of him is obviously slightly different from the rest.

I frowned. This mark must have been carved by Kumbu. Could it be that he found something?
"Look and talk." Yazai looked around the tree, then pointed to the root of the tree and said, "Look here."

I squatted down and inspected the place he was pointing at carefully. I only felt that the soil here was a little loose, as if it had been excavated by someone.

"Impossible, I was with Kumbu all the way, there is no reason why he has this time to dig the soil." I rubbed my chin and said in puzzlement.

Yazai directly took out the dagger: "Who cares about 21, just dig it out first!"

Yazai moved as soon as he said it, and before I could stop him, his dagger had already dug a small hole in the ground.

"Don't be rash, just in case..." I just wanted to say that if there is some kind of trap below, we will all be buried in it.

Who knew that just halfway through saying this, he was attracted by something in the pit, it was a Gu worm, to be precise, it was a dead Gu worm...
