Chapter 176 Each in Danger
They firmly believed that as long as they achieved the purpose of the test, they should be able to escape smoothly. However, at this moment, none of them knew what the purpose of their test was. In this situation, they could only take it one step at a time and adapt to the circumstances.
As Nangong Jingming entered the forest, a strong feeling washed over him, as if he had been walking in it for three days and still hadn't left. Deep down, a trace of irritation gradually emerged. But he quickly realized that this was wrong. He shouldn't be irritated, because if his emotions fluctuated too much, any decision he made would be prone to errors.
He stopped, took out some water from his backpack, and took a sip. He told himself he had to calm down, find a way, and stay calm. Then he found a big tree and sat down under it, intending to calm down.
He knew that continuing blindly like this was definitely wrong, and that he must have overlooked something crucial. Nangong Jingming sat quietly under the tree for a moment, his thoughts gradually becoming clearer. He began to carefully recall every detail of his time in the forest, trying to find clues.
Suddenly, he remembered that before entering the forest, he seemed to have seen a faint flash of light. Could that be the key? Nangong Jingming stood up, hope rekindled in his eyes. He decided to retrace his steps and search for the light. He moved carefully through the forest, not missing any possible clues.
Meanwhile, Su Siyi, in the desert, trudged forward, step by step, with difficulty. The wind and sand continued to rage, but her steps remained unwavering. She knew that only by moving forward could she find a way out. As she walked, she suddenly spotted a vague shadow on the sand dune ahead. Her heart tightened, and she stopped in her tracks, wary. Su Siyi stared at the shadow, which gradually became clearer. It turned out to be a giant desert lizard. Its body was golden, gleaming eerily in the sunlight. Its eyes, like two red gems, exuded a dangerous aura. Su Siyi instinctively tightened her grip on her weapon, ready to respond to any attack. However, the desert lizard didn't attack immediately, but instead stared at her quietly, as if observing something. Su Siyi secretly plotted a response, knowing that in this illusory world, any danger could be part of a test.
Meanwhile, Su Wenxin also trudged through the desert. As he walked, he observed his surroundings, hoping to find some clue. Suddenly, he saw a strange flash of light in the distance. With a thought, he immediately headed towards the light. As Su Wenxin approached, he discovered it was a stone emitting a mysterious glow. He carefully picked up the stone and examined it closely. Strange symbols seemed to be engraved on it. He couldn't decipher their meaning, but his intuition told him that the stone might be related to escaping the illusion.
Elsewhere, Su Wenying continued his journey through the desert. His heart was etched on his sister, wondering if she was safe. Suddenly, he felt the sand beneath his feet tremble slightly. Cautiously, he stopped and looked around. Not far away, a massive sandstorm was sweeping toward him. Su Wenying's face darkened, knowing it would be a formidable test. He quickly pulled his protective gear from his backpack, bracing himself for the storm. The storm drew closer, the wind howling and dust swirling through the air. Su Wenying clutched his gear tightly, struggling to keep his footing. Unfortunately, the storm finally carried him away. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself beside a vast rocky forest. Had he finally emerged from the desert and entered the next stage of the test? He carefully felt every part of his body and was pleasantly surprised to find no damage. Perhaps, he wondered, it was because of his protective gear.
Not being injured was a blessing, and it strengthened his resolve to continue. Without hesitation, he resolutely entered the rocky forest. When he stepped onto a large rock, he paused and began to carefully examine the forest's layout. His eyes were focused and sharp, not missing a single detail. Soon, drawing on his ingenuity and vast experience, he mentally mapped out the optimal path out. Without hesitation, he leaped off the rock and, with determined steps, headed forward.
Meanwhile, Su Siyi and the desert lizard stared at each other in silence, time seemingly frozen in that moment. Ten minutes passed, and neither side showed any sign of fighting. Su Siyi observed the desert lizard's every move intently, clearly sensing no hostility from the mysterious creature. Could she really avoid fighting and try to be friends? But how could she communicate with it now? After all, without the system, she couldn't understand animal language at all! Suddenly, Su Siyi had an idea. That's right, animals love spiritual fruit, so I'll try it! Impatiently, she pulled a bright red apple from her backpack and said to the desert lizard, "I'll treat you to an apple. Please don't attack me!" Her voice was clear and melodious, filled with anticipation. Then, she gently tossed the apple toward the desert lizard. The moment the apple flew towards her, the desert lizard quickly opened its mouth, caught the apple with precision, and swallowed it whole.
Su Siyi watched its movements, a pleased smile on her face. Did it understand what she said? She wondered in her heart.
"Since you've eaten my fruit, you can't attack me!" Su Siyi said to the desert lizard in a negotiating tone. The desert lizard seemed to understand her words and gently shook its tail.
"I see you're wagging your tail, which means you agree!" Su Siyi said happily. Then, she prepared to bypass the desert lizard and continue on her way.
However, after ten minutes of walking, she felt completely helpless. She stopped, turned around, and said to the lizard that had been following her, "What the hell do you want? Why are you following me?" She could have chosen to leave, but the lizard remained close to her. If she stopped, it stopped too; if she walked, it followed. This left Su Siyi deeply confused, unsure of the purpose of this mysterious lizard.
