"Huh! Huh!" Fang Xiaoyuan ran a few steps, turned around and found that Zhou Yangyang had been left behind by him. Although he tried his best to run forward, he was limited by his disabled legs, no matter how fast he was, he would still be at this speed. This is an escape, not a joke!
Fang Xiaoyuan quickly turned around and grabbed his arm, "Hurry up! Do you want to be swallowed by the fire?"
"I can't run fast." Zhou Yangyang broke her hand hard, trying to pull his arm out from the middle, "You run, leave me alone."
"No!" Fang Xiaoyuan looked back, and saw that the raging flame was approaching the two of them non-stop, and the heat wave kept hitting her back like a raging tide, and the scorching air was suffocating. In a hurry, she squatted down in front of Zhou Yangyang, "Come up! I'll carry you on my back."
Zhou Yangyang looked at Fang Xiaoyuan's narrow shoulders and small back, hesitated and refused to follow suit. Not to mention that the two of them are about the same age, he should stand upright as a boy, how can he let a girl carry him?
Fang Xiaoyuan saw what he was thinking, and hurriedly said, "I'm taller and heavier than you, so it's absolutely fine to run with you on my back. If you hesitate any longer, our lives will be decided here."
Zhou Yangyang squeezed his lips tightly, clenched his fists, and stretched out his hand cautiously. Fang Xiaoyuan felt her body sink, as if she was bent over by a huge schoolbag. She struggled to get up and stepped forward with difficulty. Good weight. Fang Xiaoyuan sighed in her heart, she forgot that no matter how thin Zhou Yangyang was, he was still a real person, not a flimsy goose feather. He was much heavier than the heaviest book assignment she had ever carried on her back.
"The fire is about to catch up!" Zhou Yangyang shouted behind her.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew from the soles of Fang Xiaoyuan's feet, along the ankles to the calves, knees, and thighs. This wind has its own strength, moving her legs mechanically, at an increasing speed. Before he could react, Fang Xiaoyuan was controlled by the cold wind and rushed forward at a high speed.
She felt the blades of grass scratching her ankles, itching. Before seeing the surrounding scenery clearly, he shuttled past, the more he ran, the more flustered he became. Zhou Yangyang was probably also frightened by her lightning speed, and kept yelling behind her head, making her ears buzzing, and she couldn't even hear the wind passing by.
Fang Xiaoyuan didn't dare to turn her head back, but through the rising temperature around her, the increasingly dense sparks in the air, and the fragments of grass blades that fell beside her from time to time and splashed red smoke, she knew that the fire had not been thrown away by them, and it was still like a fire. Chasing soldiers followed them every step of the way.
After running for a while, she saw a narrow dark brown curve not far ahead where the green land meets the blue sky, which gradually widened as she moved. is the way! Fang Xiaoyuan exclaimed, "We are going to run out!"
The fire behind him suddenly roared, making a terrifying "whooping" sound, and the red smoke surged forward like a mist, covering Fang Xiaoyuan's sight.
"Cough! Cough!" The red smoke was choking, forcing her to cough. Fang Xiaoyuan felt her footsteps slowed down, her body was weak, and her whole body seemed to be swallowed by the fire behind her soon.
Taking the last step with difficulty, she finally couldn't support herself, and fell to the ground together with Zhou Yangyang behind her. I was wrong, the world of goblins is not as safe as imagined. This was Fang Xiaoyuan's last thought when she closed her eyes.
"Fang Xiaoyuan! Fang Xiaoyuan!" In a daze, Fang Xiaoyuan heard a voice calling himself. The voice became clearer and clearer from far to near, and finally overlapped with the figure in front of him. It was Zhou Yangyang who was calling her.
"You finally woke up. Scared me to death."
Zhou Yangyang held a lighted candle in one hand, and helped Fang Xiaoyuan up with the other.
Fang Xiaoyuan looked around and found that the two were standing in a dense forest. The original sun in the sky has disappeared, replaced by the endless night, as for the terrifying red flames, naturally it also disappeared.
"We left the Yongri Grassland." She murmured.
"Yongri Grassland?" Zhou Yangyang felt a little strange when he heard this name for the first time.
"Well." Fang Xiaoyuan explained, "The place where we jumped off is called the Yongri Grassland, which is used to separate the boundary line between the world of humans and fairies. It is night now, and only there will always be the sun."
"Oh~" Zhou Yangyang nodded knowingly, "Because the sun never sets, that's why it's called Yongri Grassland." Then, he stretched out his hand to Fang Xiaoyuan, "Thank you for saving my life just now, you are mine now The savior."
Fang Xiaoyuan shook her head, "It's not me, it's something else." She was sure that what made her move quickly to escape danger was definitely not some undiscovered talent and potential, it was clearly an invisible and intangible force.
"What is it?" Zhou Yangyang asked curiously.
"I don't know either." Fang Xiaoyuan frowned, recalling what happened in Yongri Grassland, she still had lingering fears.
It was pitch black in the dense forest, only the candle in Zhou Yangyang's hand gave off a faint light, allowing them to distinguish the surrounding scenery. The two walked forward along the narrow path, and they didn't see the exit after walking for a long time.
"Why do I feel like we've been going around in circles?" Zhou Yangyang stopped suddenly, lifted the candle to the tree trunk next to him, and carefully identified it, "We've been here before!" He said firmly, pointing to a crescent moon on the tree trunk shaped dents. "I carved this before."
Fang Xiaoyuan took a closer look and found the dent. At that time, Zhou Yangyang suddenly stopped and said that he would leave a mark on the tree trunk next to him to prevent him from going back. She also asked him where he learned these things, and Zhou Yangyang said that he likes watching adventure shows on TV very much. So it seems that they have indeed been here before, perhaps more than once.
"We can't go on like this, we have to find a way." Zhou Yangyang squatted on the ground and stretched out his fingers to touch the soil on the ground. "If we can return to the original place, it means that this road is a big circle and it is closed."
Fang Xiaoyuan couldn't understand what he was talking about, and looked at him drawing circles on the ground with a puzzled expression.
"There is a way to ensure that we do not go round." Zhou Yangyang said.
"any solution?"
"Go in a straight line." Zhou Yangyang said, "As long as we keep walking in a straight line, we will definitely not come back here."
Fang Xiaoyuan thought what he said made sense, "But how can we be sure that we are walking in a straight line?" She looked to the side, "There seems to be no other way to go here."
"That means the real way out is blocked by these trees." Zhou Yangyang stretched out his hand and moved the candle to the side to illuminate the jungle on the roadside. "I think this should be the challenge given to us by the fairy world."
"Challenge?" Fang Xiaoyuan didn't quite understand, "But there was no so-called challenge at all when I came last time."
"That must be because you came with Xiaoyan last time." Zhou Yangyang guessed, "Fairies need humans to guide the way to the human world, and humans need the goblins to lead the way to the fairy world. This is only fair."
