As soon as Gu Shi turned his head, he found that there was something wrong with the expression on Thanos' face.
Thanos had been maintaining a vigilant look until just now, but now his face was filled with confusion.
Gu Shi was shocked. Could it be that this garden was focused on mental attacks? Was Thanos now hallucinating?
Although he didn't know why he was not hit, Gu Shi's first reaction was to pull Thanos' arm and retreat outside. However, Thanos seemed to be stuck in the same place, and no matter how hard Gu Shi pulled, he didn't move.
Gu Shi was very surprised. "What happened? Could it be that something has trapped him?"
Thanos is now suspended in the sea, with no leverage around him, but Gu Shi tried his best to pull him up but couldn't. This is really unscientific.
Seeing his companion become like this, Gu Shi’s mission changed from exploring the garden to finding a way to restore Thanos to normal.
Fortunately, they are now at the entrance, otherwise it would be much more troublesome for Gu Shi to escape with Thanos.
Gu Shi first stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Thanos' eyes, then moved closer and shouted a few times. Looking at the other party's dilated pupils, Gu Shi knew that Thanos probably couldn't receive any external sounds now.
Next, after Gu Shi tried all the methods he could think of, Thanos still didn't react at all. He had no choice but to take out a dagger from his space ring.
Gu Shi stretched out his hand and whispered, "If you still don't react, I really can't do anything."
Just when the tip of Gu Shi's knife was only two or three centimeters away from Thanos' skin, Thanos woke up.
"My hand! Stop, stop, stop! Stop it!"
While Thanos was still not fully awake, his body reacted subconsciously.
He grabbed Gu Shi's wrist, and the huge force made Gu Shi loosen his grip in pain, and the sharp dagger fell to the ground.
Hearing Gu Shi's voice, Thanos came back to his senses and immediately let go of Gu Shi.
Seeing Gu Shi's ferocious expression of pain, Thanos said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I wasn't quite conscious just now. I thought someone was attacking me, so I might have hit him a little too hard."
After Gu Shi pulled his hand back, he immediately started to treat his injuries. With the force Thanos had just used, he would probably have to go to the Blue Star Hospital to be diagnosed with a comminuted fracture. He almost thought his hand was going to be crushed off.
Fortunately, the magic potions in this world are also quite unreasonable. After taking the medicine, Gu Shi's wrist recovered completely. He tried to move it and there was no problem at all. However, there was still a faint phantom pain in his cerebral cortex.
Noticing Thanos' nervous look, Gu Shi comforted him, "Okay, I'm fine now, don't worry, after all, you didn't mean it.
"But you, what happened to you just now? I couldn't wake you up no matter what I did, so I had to resort to this desperate measure. Were you attacked by something?"
"To be honest, I don't know. When I walked into this place, a lot of images seemed to flash through my mind, but now I can't remember anything.
It’s like having a dream, but when you wake up you forget everything you dreamed about, and your mind is completely blank.”
Thanos' tone was full of confusion. He didn't know what happened to him just now. He should have seen a lot of things, but now he couldn't remember anything.
When Gu Shi saw Thanos' dazed look, he knew that he would probably not get any more information from him.
He patted Thanos' shoulder and said, "Whatever, I'm glad you're okay. Otherwise, let's go out and rest for a while. You don't feel well right now."
Thanos did not refuse and followed Gu Shi to an open space nearby and sat down.
"I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that the garden has no ill will towards us, and I even have a sense of familiarity." Thanos suddenly said this when the two were sitting aside to rest.
Gu Shi glanced at Thanos in surprise, wondering if he was affected by what had just happened.
Thanos also knew that what he said sounded unbelievable, but after personally entering the garden, he had an intuition in his heart that this place would not harm them.
Thanos knew that Gu Shi would not believe him so easily, so he said, "I know this sounds strange, but that's what my intuition tells me.
If you don't believe me, I'll just go in and explore alone, and you just wait for me outside."
"I am indeed skeptical about what you said, but I think it's safer for us to act together. You look like you've rested enough, so let's set off now." With that, Gu Shi stood up.
It was impossible for Gu Shi to classify the garden as harmless based solely on Thanos's one-sided statement, but he was also not at ease letting Thanos act alone.
It is not impossible that during the time they are apart, an imposter appears from nowhere and plays a trick on him about the real and fake Monkey King.
Once again coming to the entrance of the garden, this time Thanos' attitude was not as cautious as before, but he walked in here very casually, as if he was shopping, walking here and looking there.
Gu Shi followed behind him, and seeing Thanos's relaxed look, he realized that something was wrong with him.
Judging from Thanos' usual personality, if he came to a completely unfamiliar place, he would definitely not act in such a leisurely manner.
Gu Shi originally wanted to remind him, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up. He felt that even if he reminded him, Thanos probably wouldn't listen much now.
Fortunately, even though Thanos was affected by an unknown factor, he still retained some rationality and did not touch the various plants here himself. Otherwise, Gu Shi would have to consider how to knock him out.
The two of them went deeper into the garden.
Thanks to Thanos's strange state, they advanced much faster than Gu Shi had expected, and everything went smoothly along the way without any accidents.
This unexpected calmness made Gu Shi feel a little unreal. He recalled what Thanos had just said and silently increased its credibility in his heart.
