It was an unusually hot summer day.

The sun was shining brightly from the sky, but the forest in front of me was still gloomy and gloomy as if it couldn't see through the light.

Only the hot air mercilessly fell from the gaps between the dense leaves into the fallen leaves and rot that had accumulated for many years under the forest, and then rose up with the smelly tide, turning into balls Like a poisonous miasma.

"crunch-"

There was a sound of wet footsteps, and a dark green lizard among the low-hanging leaves was startled, and slid into the gap in the cracked bark.

"Well, it's really bad..."

The elegant male voice resounded in this deserted forest, with a touch of helplessness in his tone.

Ant was a slender young man, probably only in his twenties.He was wearing the homemade shorts that are necessary for walking in the forest in southern Xinjiang. From the collar to the cuffs and the calves, they were tightly wrapped with the unique local linen strips soaked in medicinal water. It looks like a ridiculous wooden shoe - the upper of the shoe is made of hemp rope, but the sole is made wide and thin, like a small boat.

There are many swamps and rot piled up over the years in the dense forest, and only this kind of special shoes can walk among them.

Judging from the young man's attire, he seemed to be a very experienced forester from southern Xinjiang.

However, if you look closely at his face, you will find that he is actually very fair and handsome, completely different from the dark-skinned local men in southern Xinjiang with deep facial features.

His eyebrows are very distinct, the corners of his eyes are slightly raised, but his pupils are as clear as black stones soaked in a cold pool, and the corners of his mouth are naturally curved, which looks like a faint smile.Just this face alone can make people say "what a handsome boy".

At that moment just now, the soles of the pair of "boat shoes" that had accompanied the youth for half a month had cracked and were completely scrapped.

And because of this, the young man's right leg immediately sank into the sticky, smelly, rotten soil.

In such a deep forest, rotten soil is not as easy to deal with as the mud outside. They are very heavy and sticky. Once sunk, it is difficult to pull yourself out of it, let alone a person standing on two legs. Even a small deer or yellow muntjac with four nimble hooves will sometimes be trapped here if they accidentally step in, and finally rot alive and turn into a new layer of rot.

But the young man watched his legs sinking slowly in the mud, but he didn't show any panic.He slowly untied the cloth belt on his right wrist, and then he seemed to throw his hand casually. The cloth belt, like some kind of living thing, carried true energy and rushed past the branches and leaves that were pressing on the top of his head, and directly wrapped it around. A big tree not far away.

Immediately afterwards, the young man wrapped his hands around the cloth strip, calmly and slowly pulled the cloth strip back, and the tree bent down bit by bit, and then... a sudden rebound, which lifted the young man from rotten Pulled out from the soil.

And the young man leaped in the air with his strength, kicked off the obstructing boat shoes on his feet, and then landed steadily on the swaying branch like a big bird, his body was as light as invisible and powerless , that is to say, there is no one else here except him. If someone from the Jianghu sees this scene, no matter how mature and prudent they are, they can't help but sigh "what a skill".

"Again, it's about time..."

The young man used his true energy to bounce a few poisonous insects and snakes that were silently crawling towards him along the branches into the bottom of the tree, then looked up at the long-lost sun in the sky, and tried his best to judge his position.

"Qianji, Qianji, I'm afraid no one will believe you if you tell me, but you're really lost in this ghostly place..."

Probably because he had been shuttling through the dense forest for several months, the young man had unknowingly developed a habit of talking to himself, and at this moment he couldn't help muttering.

That's right, this young man is not very old, but he is already a well-known and hard-to-find martial arts master in the martial arts. His long sword makes him superb, and people in the world call him the "Sword Master".Of course, more people still like to call him "Mr. Qianji".

But I'm afraid no one would have thought that the sword master Qianji, who is close to demons with his wisdom, would actually be trapped in a primeval forest in southern Xinjiang.

Qianji still remembered that when he first entered this forest, it was still spring, but before he knew it, it was already summer.

In the first month, Qianji would occasionally meet aboriginal hunters from southern borders and woodlanders who wanted money or life in the forest, and after that, only various poisonous insects that had never been seen or heard of Qianji wandered around Qianji every day. Venomous snakes, poisonous birds, poisonous...

Anyway, there is no living thing that is non-toxic.

Qianji doesn't remember when he lost his way... Probably the time when he was chased by a five-colored big snake with the thickness of a man's waist and horns on his head. The surrounding area is only the dark and continuous jungle, the white sun above the head, and the dangerous swamp mud under the feet.

Then, there is no way back.

"Shouldn't he really die here?"

Qianji scratched his strands of hair, and muttered with a headache.

He still remembered the person he saw last time, who was said to be an unusually seasoned forest traveler.How did that person persuade him to come...

【"I see that this young master has extraordinary appearance and strong martial arts, and he is not an ordinary person after thinking about it. But even so, I still can't help but advise young master, let's stop here! If you go to the forest, you will be a fairy Once you break into this territory, it may be difficult to get out..."]

According to the forest guest, the center of this dense forest is the residence of the most worshiped "Lin Xian" by the people of southern Xinjiang.

The "forest fairy" is the appearance of heaven and man, living on the fairy tree.Once a mortal enters its territory, he will be dragged down to the ground by the immortal tree because of blasphemy against the immortal.

"Hey, which fairy would do such a thing..."

Qianji sighed.

That is to say, in an uncivilized place like southern Xinjiang, even the invented gods are so terrifying.

Qianji stretched his waist, and was about to continue to search for a way out, but he seemed to see a bright red drifting from the corner of his eyes.

"Ok?"

He was startled, and hurriedly looked towards a certain place, only to find that there seemed to be something red in the farthest distance he could see, hidden under the thick tree canopy.

what is that?

Qianji couldn't help being puzzled.

He has been trapped in this green and pitch-black forest for so many days. When he closed his eyes, there was a red shadow moving around. Follow the crown of the tree along the way towards the stepping leaves.

After traveling two or three miles in this way, the originally dense jungle under Qianji's feet suddenly changed from dense to sparse, from sparse to nothing.

Qianji jumped down from the tree, looked around, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

It turns out that the scenery here is completely different from the surrounding dense forest in southern Xinjiang with lush vegetation.Under Qianji's feet is no longer the black putrid mud that exudes a foul smell, but a layer of white sand that looks like fine silver. This piece of white sand is in the shape of a ring, surrounding a small lake that is crystal clear.

There is an island in the lake, and a tree grows on the island.

It was a flower tree that Qianji had never seen in his life.

The trunk and leaves are shining in the sun, reflecting the light of gold and silver, not like a plant, but more like a skilled craftsman forging gold for the leaves and silver for the branches, creating that exquisite and radiant flower tree.

Among the golden branches and silver leaves, there are flowers that are extremely beautiful in shape and bright red in color like pigeon blood.

The bright red that Qianji glimpsed before was these red flowers.

Being able to make people notice their existence from such a far away place is enough to show how gorgeous and moving the color of this flower is. Just looking at it like this, you can't help but hold your breath.

What the hell is this...

Qianji stared blankly at the tree, and suddenly felt that his ankles were slightly cold, and looked down, only to realize that he had walked into the water unknowingly.

"Wow--"

How clever and intelligent Qianji is, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he took a few steps back in an instant, before he calmed down and continued to observe the strange but beautiful tree.

"Susu..."

Something made a small noise under a flowering tree.

Qianji's pupils shrank slightly, and his true energy suddenly flowed all over his body, making him extremely alert.

But what he didn't expect was that he was so vigilant, and after waiting for a long time, what poked his head out from behind the trunk of the flower tree was... an indescribable creature.

Probably, it's a person, right?

Qianji is not very sure.

The creature had snow-white skin, hair like blue silk, and was completely naked.

But the parts of the face that should have eyebrows and facial features are a bit blurred.

It quickly poked its head out from behind the tree to take a look at Qianji, and then shrank back like a frightened little animal.

Qianji didn't know if it was because he had been chased so hard by that vicious and bloodthirsty poison these days, looking at the cautious appearance of that "creature" at this moment, he actually felt a little cute and pitiful.

He couldn't help but took a few steps forward, trying to see what the other person looked like, but he finally stopped in his tracks considering the strangely clear lake water.

"Hey……"

After a while, he couldn't help shouting at the tree.

"Susu..."

Sure enough, there was another small movement from behind the tree.

"who are you?"

Qianji couldn't help but speak again.

At this moment, even he himself felt a little funny - the last time he was so interested in small animals was when his family bought a newborn kitten to coax him when he was five or six years old.

Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, he could still relive such feelings.

After a long time, the "creature" behind the tree finally poked out half of its face slowly.

It seems to be an illusion... The blurred five senses seem to be a little clearer.
