I woke up and became a mountain!
No big deal, it's just a mountain, right? No need to eat or drink, how great.
Wait, this is another world?!
Xianxia, or something bizarre?
...Chapter 291 Want to steal my fruit? !
When they reached the foot of Mount Huangshan, Feiba stopped sending them up.
"I'll wait for you here. If you don't come out before dark, I'll go find you."
When Luo Chengyun heard this, he said, "You're still going into the mountains after dark? It's too dangerous. Let's wait until tomorrow. If it's dark, we'll find a place to rest."
"Don't worry, it'll be easy for me to find you."
Luo Chengyun:? ? ? ?
Ferro looked confused and didn't explain.
After all, they haven't even seen the goblin yet. If they knew he was looking for the goblin, they would probably be scared to death.
Luo Chengyun, Xi Deyu and Bian Fangya went into the mountains.
When others walked on Mount Huangshan, the light and scenery were normal. But as they walked, the scenery around them gradually became blurred. Thick fog enveloped everything, and it seemed that even the direction became difficult to discern.
Luo Chengyun and Xi Deyu were extremely alert and held their weapons tightly, fearing that some monster would jump out of the fog.
But the journey was safe and without any danger.
This is the glowing fruit that the mountain god mentioned, but I have never seen it.
"Do you feel like we've been going around in circles in the same place?" Luo Chengyun was not sure, after all, it was just his intuition.
Yang Xiangwei, who had been observing them silently, smiled softly. She didn't expect this guy to have such a strong sense of direction.
Yes, that's right, he was right, they were wandering around in the maze.
This maze was carefully laid out by Yang Xiangwei based on the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, and it contains infinite mysteries.
Once you step into the maze, the surrounding scenery seems to be shrouded in a mysterious veil, and the originally clear path becomes intricate and confusing.
The land beneath your feet has different textures and colors according to the theory of the Five Elements.
Sometimes you step on the warm loess, which is the manifestation of the power of earth, solid and heavy; sometimes you step into a sparkling water, which seems calm but actually hides mysteries. It is the realm of water and you will be trapped in it if you are not careful.
The surrounding trees are also arranged according to the pattern of the Eight Trigrams, with their branches and leaves intertwined to form natural barriers.
There are lights flickering on the tree trunks that are invisible to the naked eye. Some emit a blazing red light, representing the heat of the fire element; others emit a cool blue light, symbolizing the sharpness of the metal element.
At first glance, you can't tell the difference between them with the naked eye, but if you look closely you will find that even if you can't see the light on the trunks, their colors are slightly different.
To ordinary people, the blazing red light appears as a slightly reddish tree trunk, and the cool blue light appears as a slightly bluish tree trunk.
There is no such thing as "Five Elements and Eight Trigrams" in this world. No wonder Luo Chengyun and others were stumped.
Luo Chengyun and Xi Deyu took Bian Fangya around in the maze for most of the day, and the road under their feet seemed to have no end.
The surrounding scenery was still blurry, fog shrouded everything, as if even time had slowed down.
The three people's physical strength was gradually exhausted. They were tired and thirsty, so they could only find a relatively flat place to sit down and rest.
Luo Chengyun took out a water bottle from his backpack and handed it to Bian Fangya: "Wenya, drink some water first."
Bian Fangya took the kettle and drank from it in small sips. Although her face was tired, her eyes were still firm.
Luo Chengyun and Xi Deyu looked at each other, feeling a little guilty.
They were originally worried that Bian Fangya would be frustrated or even angry because she couldn't find the fruit. After all, she was just a child.
But unexpectedly, Bian Fangya was much stronger than they thought.
"Wen Ya, are you tired? How about...we go back first and come back tomorrow?" Xi Deyu asked tentatively.
Bian Fangya shook her head and said firmly: "No, I'm not tired. I must find the fruit and save my brother!"
Luo Chengyun looked at her eyes full of faith and his heart was shocked.
He had never seen such determination and courage in a child's eyes.
I feel that she is worthy of being the leader's niece. At such a young age, she has shown such a strong will. She is a good material for being a mercenary.
"Wen Ya is right," Luo Chengyun took a deep breath and stood up. "We can't give up. Since the mountain god has given us a test, there must be a way to pass it. Let's try again!"
Xi Deyu also nodded and patted the dust off his body: "Okay, let's look for it again."
The three of them regained their spirits and continued searching in the maze.
This time, they no longer wandered around blindly, but carefully observed the surrounding environment, trying to find some clues.
"Look, the trees over there seem to be a little different." Bian Fangya suddenly said, pointing ahead.
Luo Chengyun and Xi Deyu looked in the direction she pointed, and saw that the color of the trunks of several trees in front of them was different from the colors of the trees next to them, and was obviously reddish.
In fact, it is not its color that is eye-catching, but there are not many other colors in this fog, which makes it appear.
"Trees come in many different colors, so there's nothing wrong with that, right?"
Bian Fangya shook her head and said, "They are different. Look carefully. Every time we walk a distance, we will encounter different colors."
They tried walking and observing at the same time, and indeed they discovered five different colors.
They didn't know that these five colors actually represent the five elements, but it didn't matter. Since there were five colors, and there seemed to be some kind of hidden pattern, the worst that could happen was that they could just try one color at a time.
"Wenya, which color do you choose?" Luo Chengyun asked.
Bian Fangya pointed to red without hesitation: "Red! This color is more conspicuous and easier to identify than other colors."
Luo Chengyun and Xi Deyu looked at each other and nodded: "Okay, let's start with red."
The three of them walked along the red trees. The ground beneath their feet gradually became warm, as if an invisible force was guiding them.
A faint light flickered on the red tree trunks, as if pointing them in the direction.
"Do you feel that the fog seems to become thinner as we go forward?" Xi Deyu said in a low voice.
Luo Chengyun nodded: "Indeed, it seems that we have chosen the right direction."
Bian Fangya followed closely behind the two, her eyes full of anticipation: "We will definitely find the fruit!"
As they went deeper, the surrounding scenery gradually became clearer.
The fog gradually dissipated, and the scene before my eyes became clear.
I saw a strange forest in front of me. The trees were full of glowing fruits. The fruits emitted a soft light, like tiny stars.
"This is the fruit that Lord Mountain God talked about!" Bian Fangya said excitedly.
Luo Chengyun and Xi Deyu also breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts filled with joy.
They looked at the magical forest in front of them and were stunned, because it was so beautiful, as if the sky full of stars was hung before their eyes.
Each of those glowing fruits emits a unique and charming halo.
Their colors are not of a single brilliant color, but are intertwined and blended, like a dream.
The light of these glowing fruits interweaves and reflects each other, forming a series of colorful light curtains.
The light curtain fluttered gently in the breeze, like a flowing Milky Way, winding through the woods.
As the breeze blew, the fruits collided with each other, making clear and pleasant sounds, as if the stars were singing softly. The sound was like the sound of nature, lingering in their ears, making people feel relaxed and happy.
The ground of the woods was covered with a thin layer of silver powder, which was a unique sight formed by the refraction of light from the fruit.
Under the light, these powders sparkled with tiny rays of light, like countless tiny diamonds scattered on the ground.
With every step they took, a silver glow would rise from under their feet, as if they were strolling in the Milky Way, leaving behind a series of dreamy footprints.
Luo Chengyun, Xi Deyu and Bian Fangya were completely shocked by the beautiful scenery before them. They opened their mouths wide, their eyes full of amazement and intoxication.
It took a long time for Bian Fangya to come back to her senses. She walked forward gently and stretched out her hand, wanting to touch those star-like fruits.
However, before she could get close to it, a glowing little creature that could fit in the palm of one's hand appeared. It was wearing a beautiful pink skirt and glared at her, as if to say, "What are you doing?! Are you trying to steal my fruit?!"
