Epoch of Twilight

"I also feel a little weird. It may be that the environment here is similar, and being in it is like being in a maze." Company Commander Xia also said with an ugly face.

Seeing everyone panicked, Luo Yuan comforted him, "Fortunately, we found out early, otherwise I might have to stay here for the night again. I'll go to the top of the tree to check the direction, and I should be able to walk out of this forest soon."

Luo Yuan chose the largest tree in the vicinity, using his hands and feet, he climbed to the top of the tree within a few breaths. This tree was more than a hundred meters high. Standing on the top of the tree, he could only feel The heat wave was rolling in, and the intense transpiration above the forest made everything blurred as far as the eye could see.

However, his eyesight is sharp, and what he is judging is a large object like a mountain peak, so he can barely distinguish it.

He watched carefully for a few seconds, and after a few jumps, he fell to the ground again.

"How is it?" Huang Jiahui asked impatiently as soon as he landed.

"Fortunately, it's not far from the nearest mountain peak. I estimate it's only about 20 kilometers away. We can get there before dark. Let's set off without delay," Luo Yuan said.

Everyone felt relieved when they heard this, and hurriedly climbed up to the monitor lizard. They really didn't want to stay in this weird and terrifying forest for a second. However, things were not that simple. After the monitor lizard walked for about ten minutes, Luo Yuan climbed up a big tree to observe the direction again, but found that the mountain peak was not only not approaching, but was getting farther and farther away.

The mountain peak in the distance is like a mirage, no matter how far you go, you can't get close.

New discoveries cast a shadow over everyone.

"What should we do? We seem to have encountered a ghost hitting a wall." Zhao Yali was a little confused.

"Even if you encounter a ghost hitting the wall, it's not impossible to get out?" Luo Yuan said, he pondered for a while and continued: "Maybe not everything we see is true, and what we hear may not be false, but I don't know. Believe it can deceive all five senses, at least I find that most of what the eyes see is true."

"You have a solution?" Zhao Yali asked quickly.

"I only have one stupid solution, but I still have to experiment." Luo Yuan said.

He jumped off the giant lizard, randomly chose two big trees as the starting point and ending point, and walked forward step by step. After a while, he returned, with a relieved smile on his face: "It took about three steps more. .”

"You mean, the distance in this forest is distorted?" Company Commander Xia was the first to react and asked.

"No, if it's the distance, we would have noticed the difference a long time ago.

It is the direction. There is a force here that distorts our sense of direction. When we think we are walking in a straight line, we are actually walking in a curve. If we do not check the direction at all times and make adjustments, the deviation distance will become larger and larger. Never get out of this forest. Luo Yuan explained. However, he was shocked by this kind of power. The distance between the two trees was only thirty-five steps, but it made him walk three steps more. How far to go.

"I'll walk on the top of the tree later, and you guys follow me on the monitor lizard." Luo Yuan said, this is the only way to go now.

Everyone nodded quickly.

Immediately, Luo Yuan jumped up the big tree and jumped forward like an ape. Because it was getting dark, in order to avoid the same thing that happened yesterday when he fell asleep unknowingly, he opened up his speed so fast that even the monitor lizard had to trot all the way to follow. on.

This time the mountain was finally getting closer and closer, and half an hour later, the eerie forest was left behind.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. After arriving here, that power completely disappeared.

The group stopped for a short while, and then continued on their way. During this period, they crossed a low mountain peak, and then stopped in front of a pile of rocks. At this time, the sky was completely dark.

Since there is almost no soil here, the plants seem a bit sparse. Except for the weeds that are as tall as a person everywhere, there are only a few plants scattered here and there. After being roasted, it looks yellow and wilted, as if it will die at any time.

Similarly, in this poor environment, the danger is greatly reduced. Not to mention mutant beasts, even mutant insects are pitifully rare. The group can finally breathe a sigh of relief here.

…………

After dinner, everyone went to bed one after another. At 11 or 12 o'clock, the remaining fuel of the bonfire gradually dimmed. A gust of cool wind blew through, and after the last ray of light burst out, it was finally completely extinguished.

With a rustling sound, a figure stood up, it was Cao Lin, she seemed to hesitate for a moment, then walked towards Luo Yuan nervously.

"Brother Luo! Brother Luo!" She called softly a few times.

Luo Yuan, who was sitting quietly with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes, looked at Cao Lin, and asked with a puzzled expression, "What's the matter?"

"Can... can you go to the side and talk." Seeing Luo Yuan, Cao Lin's breathing was a little short, her face was tense, and her originally rosy face became a little pale.

Luo Yuan stood up and walked a few steps away, and asked, "Just tell me if you have anything to say."

"I... I seem to have been bitten by something on my chest just now, can you help me take a look?" Cao Lin gritted her teeth and said, she didn't know whether it was nervousness or fear, she held the corner of her clothes tightly, her body was a little bit Trembling slightly.

Can this kind of place be seen by others casually?

"Is it serious?" he asked.

"I...I don't know!" Cao Lin tremblingly said, and began to undress with both hands.

Luo Yuan originally wanted to stop him, but in the end he didn't open his mouth. Later, he saw that the other party had opened his entire jacket, and the inside was completely vacuum, and a pair of snowy rabbits were trembling and beating.

One of them had a palm-sized purple bruise on it.

It's not like being bitten by something, but pinched out. Luo Yuan understood what was going on, but he didn't expose it, nor did he sternly reject it, because it would embarrass her. It can be seen that in order to do all this today, she has mustered all the courage, and may even have tossed and turned for a long time.

He sighed, stretched out his hand to gently stroke the purple bruise on it, under the effect of will, the bruise quickly faded away, and soon became white and greasy, he touched a few times with nostalgia, and then withdrew his hand:

"Go back, you have to get up early tomorrow."

At this time, Cao Lin was already full of fever, lowered her head and hurriedly dressed, and ran back with messy steps.

Luo Yuan sighed at the spot, and went back to the spot to sit quietly. Now that the morality of the last days is broken, there is a very rare primeval forest here. For a strong man like him, he can do whatever he wants without paying any price. But still sad my heart.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered a sentence, the strong cannot be restrained, except himself.
