Chapter 165 Looks Familiar
Nan Xiao's hair was messy from the wind. "Don't worry about whether it's true or not. We have two choices now. The first is to get rid of these monsters and find a safe place to hide. We can survive until the last day of the secret realm, and then we can get out. The second is that the three of us can't escape and become food for the monsters, and then nothing will be left."
Lu Huai shouted into the wind: "111111, I choose 1."
Ye Wumian was a little amused and said, "Junior brother, this is not a multiple-choice question."
Lu Huai wanted to reply, but when he saw more than ten monsters surrounding him from the left, he quickly shouted, "There are more ahead. Xiaoxiao, let's change direction."
"good."
The three of them pushed their speed to the extreme, performing a show of speed and passion.
Nan Xiao was blown so hard by the wind that he couldn't open his eyes. Fortunately, this place was quite spacious and there were not many obstacles, otherwise he didn't know how many times he would have bumped into something.
Halfway through the run, Nan Xiao suddenly realized what was happening and said hastily, "No, no, we can't run in this direction anymore."
Seeing both of them looking puzzled, she hurriedly explained, "The difference of one realm is like a chasm. Lu Huai and I are both at the Foundation Establishment stage, and Third Senior Brother is only at the Golden Core stage. Among this group of Nascent Soul monsters, there are many fast monsters, but they haven't caught up yet. Don't you think this is very strange?"
“Because we are geniuses…”
Ye Wumian couldn't help but roll his eyes and said speechlessly: "Junior brother, this is not the time to brag, listen to what Junior Sister has to say."
Nan Xiao looked at the two of them solemnly and said slowly, "Think carefully, isn't it true that every time we run in one direction, a few monsters always suddenly appear in front of us and drive us to another place?"
Ye Wumian said with a heavy face, "What should we do? We can't go forward, and the monsters behind us won't give us a chance to break out."
Nan Xiao fell into deep thought.
When the three of them were at a loss, Lu Huai's eyes lit up and he suddenly said, "Xiaoxiao, maybe we can continue to move forward?"
Nan Xiao looked at Lu Huai and asked, "Have you come up with any good ideas?"
Lu Huai controlled the spirit sword while analyzing the situation methodically: "Since we can't fight our way out, why not just follow the monster's wishes and continue running in this direction. Maybe the eldest brother and the others are there."
"When the time comes, I'll reunite with my senior brother and second senior sister. We'll always be able to fight our way out. If that doesn't work, even if we die together, that's fine."
Nan Xiao looked at him in surprise and praised him, "Not bad, then let's do as you say. The road behind is a dead end, and the road ahead is unknown. So how about the three of us go together?"
Ye Wumian thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, then I'll listen to Junior Brother this time."
·····
The three of them flew in one direction for most of the day. Just as Nan Xiao had said before, as long as they deviated from the direction, new monsters would appear in front of them and force them into another path.
After two days and one night of running for their lives, the three of them had severely depleted their spiritual energy and were completely dependent on elixirs to keep them going. Otherwise, they would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.
At this moment, a forest appeared in front of them. Before they got close, a gloomy atmosphere hit them in the face.
The same thought occurred to the three people at the same time: this forest was definitely not an ordinary place.
Sure enough, the closer they got to the woods, the slower the monsters chasing them became.
Seems to be afraid of something.
Finally, several people stopped at the intersection of the woods, and the monsters also stopped ten meters away.
Nan Xiao chuckled and said, "Well, it looks like we've reached our destination."
She waved towards the monster outside and said, "Alright, just send it here."
Finally I can take a break. I'm so tired.
Of course, those monsters wouldn't listen to her, but her attitude made it look quite convincing.
Lu Huai followed suit and said, "Dismiss the court."
Ye Wumian suppressed a smile and said, "Junior brother, you really look like a father-in-law in the human world."
Lu Huai was slightly angry: "Third Senior Brother, you are talking nonsense. This is clearly the attitude of an emperor. I have read many books and the emperor always said this. It is obvious that Third Senior Brother does not understand."
"What? You still have time to peek at the storybook? I'm going to tell Master that you're lazy in your cultivation."
"Then I will tell the eldest brother that the third brother bullied me."
"Junior brother, you've gone too far..."
“······”
Nan Xiao: “…”
Can you quarrel over this?
She rubbed her solar plexus, took out two bottles of Qingling Pills from her storage ring, stuffed them into their hands, and said helplessly: "Alright, Your Majesty, Eunuch, take them, we should go in."
If we don't leave now, these monsters will be right at our faces.
You are not afraid, but she is.
Before stepping into the woods, Nan Xiao thought for a moment and, just in case, wrapped the small buds around the wrists of both of them.
The three of them went into the woods together.
There is a world of difference between inside and outside the woods.
Although the forest gave them a strong feeling of eerie discomfort, from the outside, the trees were tall and sturdy, and the sunlight was abundant, making the forest transparent and bright, and the view was wide.
But when the three of them stepped into the woods, it was as if the curtain between reality and weirdness was torn apart in an instant.
A thick, inky gray fog enveloped the entire forest. Within the mist, every tree's branches appeared to be baring their teeth and claws, as if they had come alive, a chilling feeling.
Nan Xiao frowned and asked, "Have you all taken the Qingling Pill?"
They both replied, “We ate it.”
Nan smiled and said, "I don't know if this mist is poisonous. To be on the safe side, take a Qingling Pill every hour and a Jiedu Pill every two hours."
"good."
As they walked along, the surroundings were eerily quiet. Apart from the occasional conversations between the three people, there was no sound of any living creatures, not even the sound of the wind.
Lu Huai looked up at the surrounding trees and said, "Xiaoxiao, do you think we've seen these trees before?"
Ye Wumian was about to say that all trees looked the same, but when his eyes fell on these trees, he changed his words and said, "Really?"
It does look familiar, and it makes people feel irritated.
Nan Xiao's eyes lit up when they reminded him of this.
The three of them looked at each other and said at the same time: "Those trees outside the yard."
Ye Wumian frowned, muttering in confusion, "Could it be that the Tianjian Sect has been invaded by some foul creature? Why is there so much trouble?"
I originally thought those trees were an accident, but now it doesn’t look like that.
Nan Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, "Third Brother, you might actually be right."
The unknown is scary.
But if you know who is behind it, you won’t be so scared.
When she suspected that those woods were related to Chen Chaochao, she asked someone to secretly inquire about it. Their accommodation was originally arranged by Su Yan, but later for some reason, it was replaced by Chen Chaochao.
The trees in the yard could affect people's emotions. I originally thought Shen Chaochao was using some method to make them lose control of their emotions, causing them to make mistakes and lose the game, but now it seems that's not the case.
