“The stuff is inside the backpack, we lost all our stuff.” Fang Xue blushed, to say the least, the reason why she and Yu Mu were in this situation was entirely because of her.
Di Jiu frowned as he didn’t continue to ask how Yu Mu and Fang Xue appeared here.
Seeing Di Jiu’s frown, Fang Xue hurriedly said, “I went to the Forgotten River Temple with Yu Mu and two other partners, and I don’t know what happened, but I suddenly saw a wooden bridge that I had never seen before. I’ve been to the Temple of Forgetfulness a few times, but there was no such wooden bridge before. I thought it was a new attraction, so I stepped onto the wooden bridge. I didn’t expect that just as I crossed the wooden bridge, I saw some grey wolves, I was scared and ran away ……”
Yu Mu then said after Fang Xue’s words, “I saw Fang Xue running, I also followed, Fang Xue said there were several grey wolves, although I didn’t see them, I didn’t feel false in my heart. As a result, we lost all our bags and phones along the way, and now we are completely lost, eating wild fruits and gra*s roots and a few pieces of chocolate for the past few days.”
“You did see a wolf?” Di Jiu was a bit puzzled, it was reasonable to say that since the Forgotten River Temple was an attraction, it was impossible for several grey wolves to appear at the same time.
After a slight hesitation, Fang Xue said, “I definitely saw it at that time, and later I had some doubts that I was wrong. The Forgetting River Temple is at the outermost part of the Forgetting River Mountain Range, and the dangerous parts of the Forgetting River Mountain Range are cut away, so how could there be wolves?”
“So how many days have you been in here?”
“It is estimated that there are two or three days, these days we have been in the midst of running and fear, exactly how long has pa*sed is not particularly clear ……,” Fang Xue answered Di Jiu’s question before hesitantly looking at Di Jiu and asking, “Big brother, you are also lost like us?”
Di Jiu nodded, “That’s right, I’m also lost. My name is Di Jiu, you can just call me by my name from now on. There is a lake not far from here, let’s go and stay by the lake for the night, get something to eat and then continue our search for the road tomorrow during the day.”
“Ah ……” Just as Di Jiu finished his words, Fang Xue let out another ah, followed by a horrified, “I saw the wooden bridge again, just over there.”
Di Jiu and Yu Mu simultaneously looked in the direction Fang Xue was pointing, where was there any bridge, the direction Fang Xue was pointing was completely a bush of thorns.
Yu Mu also felt that something was wrong and her face turned pale. She did not see a wooden bridge, but she vaguely felt a shadow disappearing in the direction of the thorn bush.
Di Jiu grabbed Fang Xue’s wrist and he immediately felt the coldness in it. Di Jiu took out a herb and handed it to Fang Xue, “You chew this one and swallow it, Yu Mu, you help me look at this map.”
Di Jiu, who had originally planned to rest here for the night, had given up on his plans at this moment. He felt that there was something weird about this place, and he didn’t think that Fang Xue had suddenly seen the thorn bush as a wooden bridge.
As long as Yu Mu knew where the map was pointing, he would rather drive through the night.
The map Di Jiu took out was a flat scenic map, and although it had the southeast and northwest marked on it, Di Jiu didn’t know any of the forests, cliffs and valleys on the scenic map.
“I know, this forest used to be the Forgotten River Temple ……,” Yu Mu exclaimed in surprise when she saw Di Jiu take out the map. Her surprise only lasted for a short time before she said with some loss, “Unfortunately, we don’t have a compa*s, so we can only wait until tomorrow.”
Fang Xue, who had swallowed a medicinal herb, gradually settled down and she followed suit, “We can only rest for a day before we go, Yu Mu doesn’t have the stamina to walk at all.”
“I have a compa*s, I can’t walk I’ll carry it on my back, it has to be now. If you guys don’t go, I’ll go first.” Di Jiu took out his compa*s and said without hesitation.
After saying that, Di Jiu took out two more pieces of dry noodles and handed them to Fang Xue and Yu Mu.
Because he saw the shadow of the wooden bridge as well, he was sure that Fang Xue was not hallucinating. Standing in this place, he always had a very wrong feeling.
“The compa*s!” Yu Mu and Fang Xue both stared excitedly at the compa*s in Di Jiu’s hand, as long as they had the compa*s and the map, they could definitely walk out.
“Thanks a lot Brother Di.” Even though it was the first time she met Di Jiu, Yu Mu knew that at this time, there was no other way but to let Di Jiu carry her. As for the dried noodles that Di Jiu handed to them, it was even a blessing in disguise.
Di Jiu picked up Yu Mu and walked directly towards the direction of the Forgotten River Temple.
As soon as he picked up Yu Mu, Di Jiu felt two soft ma*ses coming at him and he had a surprise in his heart. What surprised him was not the softness behind him, but his physical strength.
Because he couldn’t practice martial arts, Di Jiu had been learning all kinds of technological knowledge and studying the way of medicine, so his physical strength was naturally very poor. This time, he did not feel much strain when he carried Yu Mu. Now it seemed that his physical strength had more than doubled. Di Jiu looked down at his chest, and he was sure that it was still that one grey stone that had brought about the change in him.
No wonder he didn’t feel much strain when he climbed up from under that cliff.
“Brother Di are you from the tour too?” The surroundings were too quiet and Yu Mu took the initiative to ask.
“Yes.” Di Jiu replied casually and then stopped talking.
Seeing that Di Jiu was not interested in speaking, Yu Mu and Fang Xue also did not dare to speak again after eating the dry noodles. Inside the forest with some moonlight, only the sound of walking was left.
Even though Di Jiu’s strength was much better than before, he felt a bit overwhelmed by carrying Yu Mu continuously like this.
The three of them walked on and off, but nothing happened during the night. It wasn’t until the next morning that a ray of early morning sunlight shone down and the three of them walked out of the forest and appeared on top of a hill.
“I still can’t see anything here.” Fang Xue said with some concern as she looked at the foggy landscape in the distance.
Yu Mu could not see anything as well, and both of them could only wait for Di Jiu to speak. Even though they both knew that the forest in the map of the Forgotten River Mountain Range was in the direction of the Forgotten River Temple, after all, neither of them had ever walked it.
It was only then that Di Jiu began to be shocked by his own eyesight; neither Fang Xue nor Yu Mu could see anything and he could actually see a few faint buildings in the extreme distance in a blur. He was sure that his own eyesight had not been this strong before, and it was evident that the changes to his body after he had been struck by that pale golden lightning were all-encompa*sing.
It was just that he had just been changed at that time when he was shocked by the news brought by Qu Xiaoshu and then fled out of Ji Guo.
……
As soon as he left the forest, that uncomfortable feeling all over his body disappeared without a trace.
“Rest here for half a day, then continue walking.” After a night, Di Jiu had long been exhausted.
“Brother Di, thank you, if you hadn’t saved me, I would have definitely died inside the Forgotten River Mountain Range.” Yu Mu was barely able to stand up after resting on Di Jiu’s back all night.
Di Jiu smiled, “I happen to have studied some medicine and have seen the antidote to this snake poison.”
“Brother Di, are you a medical school graduate?” Fang Xue asked as she looked at Di Jiu with some expectation, she and Yu Mu were both from medical school then. But both of them were at their wits’ end when faced with that kind of snake poison. Di Jiu’s treatment of Yu Mu’s snake poison seemed to be very simple.
