Until nightfall.
Xue Zhixian shivered from the cold. Xiao Xi took out the long-sleeved sportswear jacket that she had prepared as an extra item from her bag.
Xue Zhixian was dressed in a little girl's tracksuit, which looked a bit odd, but it was still pretty good.
Xiao Xi took out two bowls of steaming noodles from her bag, gave one to Xue Zhixian, and ate one herself.
Give the leopard a braised duck and Xiaodou a hot steamed bun.
She saw that Xue Zhixian's eyes were wide with shock, after all, it was too strange to be able to take out two bowls of fresh hot soup noodles from a small backpack.
"Xue Zhixian, eat if you want, don't eat if you don't want to. I don't have the patience to give you a science lesson."
Xue Zhixian dared not ask, and buried his head in his food: This is real noodles, fresh out of the pot, not some fake illusion.
It finally got dark.
The dense forest was so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
Xiaoxi took out a Night Travel Talisman from her bag. The talisman emitted a dim yellow light in the low sky, illuminating an area of twenty square meters, and kept moving forward.
After walking for a long time, Xiaoxi suddenly saw flickering flames in the distance.
Her heart skipped a beat; she recognized the scene—it was the same one from her dream last night.
"You're just bored. There might be danger ahead. Be careful!"
Xiaoxi put away the Night Travel Talisman, and they carefully walked towards the firelight.
This is a dilapidated Taoist temple in a valley. The temple itself is quite large, and it's impossible to tell how many storms it has weathered.
Ancient trees towered all around, and bonfires burned on both sides of the gate.
Little Bean whispered, "The Leopard Brothers said this is it, and they told us to be careful."
The leopard seemed terrified and had already disappeared.
Xiaoxi also felt a particularly oppressive atmosphere, and she could vaguely hear the cracking sound of gongs and cymbals inside.
They quietly held their breath and walked deeper into the Taoist temple.
We passed through a series of grand halls.
The uncomfortable feeling that made Xiaoxi feel worse grew stronger.
Suddenly, the firelight in front of them became even brighter.
Behind the main hall was a wide open space with a high platform in the middle, and the sound of gongs and cymbals came from the platform.
Moreover, a powerful array is being activated.
Xiaoxi suddenly remembered the altar in her dream, and a sense of crisis filled her entire consciousness.
There was a staircase leading up to the side of the main hall, and they climbed up to the top floor of the hall.
Now Xiaoxi could see it clearly.
The platform was indeed an altar, with flickering torches burning around it.
The ancient-style man bound on the altar, his white robes stained with blood, his hands and feet bound, blood dripping from his hands, and a strange groove below, indistinct from a distance.
Why are the men dressed in ancient costumes? Did they unknowingly wander into another dimension?
Xiaoxi suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, as real as in her dream.
She had to save this person.
Xiaoxi whispered, "You're just bored. You can't go over there anymore."
"Why? I'll go with you!"
"No! It's too dangerous. I can't even guarantee I'll get out unscathed. I won't be able to take care of you then!"
"Xiaoxi, why did we have to come? We can still leave now."
"I can't leave. There are some things I can't explain to you. I have to save that person."
Take this talisman; it will protect you. If anything happens to me, you can leave by yourself at dawn tomorrow.”
Xue Zhixian was stunned; "I don't want to go out alone, we'll go together."
"Xue Zhixian, you can do it! You are the strongest track and field champion in our school!"
Xue Zhixian suddenly realized that Xiao Xi was calling his name and said that he was the strongest champion.
Xue Zhixian burst into tears.
Xiaoxi thought for a moment, then took out a jade thumb ring from her bag: "If I can't go back, please give this to my two older brothers!"
"Hide well, and remember, no matter what you see, don't come out!"
"Xiaoxi, don't go! I'm sorry, about the last sports meet..."
Through her tear-filled eyes, Xue Zhixian saw Xiao Xi wave to her and then suddenly leap down.
