"Where does the fog come from?" Chunhua's voice came.
Thick fog instantly filled the forest, and Zhang You soon could not see clearly in the distance, and could only see the environment one meter around him.
She looked at Chunhua's back and said uneasily, "Chunhua, please walk slower. The fog is too thick. I'm afraid I'll lose you."
Chunhua slowed down her pace upon hearing this and said, "Okay."
Zhang You breathed a sigh of relief and turned to see if Qiuyue had caught up. "Qiuyue?"
"I'm here."
Qiuyue waved the long branch in her right hand to indicate that she was fine.
Zhang You now felt relieved and followed Chunhua's footsteps.
Zhang You couldn't tell which way was which, so she just followed Chunhua. But the more she walked, the more she felt that something was wrong with the fog. It was as if the birds had stopped singing in the woods since the thick fog had risen.
It was a little too quiet around.
Zhang You was so engrossed in her thoughts that she tripped over a stone under her feet. She supported herself with her hands to cushion the fall, but accidentally scratched her palms.
There was a pain in my little finger, which was scratched by a bare branch on the ground.
Zhang You was worried that Chunhua Qiuyue and the others would trip and fall, so she quickly said, "Be careful, the road here is uneven."
But after the words fell, there was no response.
Zhang You ignored the pain and quickly stood up. She then realized that there was no one around her.
She looked around, but couldn't see anything because of the fog. She was lost.
Zhang You endured the pain in his hands and shouted their names loudly, but there was no echo.
Her heart was beating wildly and she couldn't help but think of the worst.
She is lost now.
The mountain is so big, how can she find Qiao Si and the others?
And looking at the appearance of this mountain, it seems that there are ferocious beasts. She has no weapons on her. Even if she has weapons, how can a weak woman like her escape from the beast's mouth?
Would Qiao Si really come to find a maid like her?
Is she really going to die?
…
Zhang You's thoughts were becoming more and more confused, and she was too panicked, but the pain in her hand helped her calm down.
Her hand hurts.
In other words, at least at this moment she was in reality, so everything that just happened was most likely an illusion caused by the thick fog.
The moment he realized the danger of the thick fog, Zhang You took out a handkerchief with his uninjured left hand, picked up the water bottle he carried with him, poured water on it, and applied it to his mouth and nose.
She had to make sure she didn't fall into hallucination again.
After calming down, she began to treat the wound on her hand, picking out the sawdust from the wound and sprinkling it with the healing medicine given by Qiao Si.
Who would have thought that her hands had suffered so much? It had only been a short time, but the scar on her palm hadn't disappeared yet, and now her little finger was injured again.
Without time to sigh, after simply bandaging herself, she began to look for Chunhua, Qiuyue and the others.
She was the closest to them before she got lost. Maybe they were around, but they were hallucinating because of the thick fog and couldn't respond to her voice.
But now the only way to survive is to call out to them.
She used the lipstick she brought with her to make a mark on the tree where she had just fallen, so that if anyone saw her, they could follow the mark to find her.
Zhang You walked carefully, putting down her handkerchief every two steps and calling out Chunhua and Qiuyue's names loudly.
………
The forest was thick with mist, and the sunlight was hazy, shining through the endless branches, making it look eerie and terrifying. The wind rustled the leaves on the branches, and in the silence, apart from the occasional bird song, there was only the sound of the cold wind.
Qiuyue stood in an open space in the forest, holding a soft sword in her right hand, listening vigilantly to the movements in the forest.
When the thick fog rose, Xia He and Chun Hua were clearly still walking ahead of her.
Unexpectedly, she herself was also affected and fell into hallucinations, but fortunately she had taken a lot of poisons during training before, so she regained consciousness after a while.
But after recovery, they were nowhere to be seen.
It was only a moment before they got separated.
Qiuyue immediately realized that there was something wrong with the forest.
It's not just the forest itself. Ever since Li Hu appeared, they have been led into this dangerous place by someone with ulterior motives.
She didn't know what Qiao Si was thinking, but there was definitely more than just fog in this forest. Someone was definitely going to attack Qiao Si.
The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light.
She couldn't hide any longer.
She didn't know when those people would attack, so she drew the soft sword from her waist and carefully listened to the movements in the forest.
Firstly, I want to find spring flowers and summer lotus, and secondly, I want to take precautions against the enemy as early as possible.
She concentrated her mind, calmed her breath, and listened carefully.
The wind whistled in my ears, and in the distance, there was a faint sound of footsteps.
The footsteps were chaotic and disorderly, and one could tell that the person was being cautious.
Listen carefully to the person's breathing.
It’s Xia He.
but……
Qiuyue couldn't help but frown.
There were also several very soft sounds coming quickly from another direction.
Judging from their aura, they are all martial artists, and they are getting closer and closer.
These people couldn't be Qiao Si's secret guards. Her secret guards only protected her closely. Qiao Si's secret guards should have appeared the moment the fog rose.
Then the person coming now can only be... the assassin who assassinated Qiao Si.
"Chunhua! Qiuyue! Where are you? Princess! Can you hear me?"
It was Xia He's voice.
The voices stopped after hearing Xia He's voice.
Oh no, they want to attack Xia He.
Qiuyue narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold glint in her eyes. She stared in the direction of the group of people and adjusted her breathing calmly.
"Xia He! I'm here! Just stand there and don't move. I'll come find you!"
She exposed her voice to attract the group of people.
The group of people were originally heading towards Xia He, but now they found someone closer to them, so they decided to kill the one closer first.
They flew closer, and in the hazy fog, they could only barely determine the location of the person who made the sound.
Qiuyue felt them getting closer and closer, and several murderous intentions came straight towards her.
An arrow flew through the air, and she easily dodged it by turning sideways. She grabbed the arrow with her left hand, used the force to throw it in the direction of the archer.
A muffled groan was heard along with the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
"Be careful, she knows martial arts."
The leading man in black just thought that this man was Qiao Si's secret guard.
I didn’t expect his kung fu was so powerful that he could kill someone who clearly couldn’t see.
The other men in black stopped when they heard the sound, and the leader immediately ordered an all-out attack.
Qiao Si's secret guard is here, so Qiao Si must be here too.
If they knew that the one who killed them was just a little maid of Qiao Si, and Qiao Si was not here at all, I wonder how ironic it would be.
The group of men in black all rushed out, jumped into the air, and raised their swords to slash at Qiuyue.
Qiuyue was waiting for them.
Although the fog here is too heavy and the mountain road is bumpy, for Qiuyue, it is like walking on flat ground.
She easily dodged their sharp blades, flipped her wrist, and took both men's lives with a single wave of her hand.
The group of men in black did not expect to have such a strong opponent and became more cautious.
But he still couldn't dodge Qiuyue's two moves, and he would die within two moves.
