"Second brother, there is no way...what should I do? Do you want to climb a tree?" Xiang Kun raised his head and searched for a while on several old trees around him, trying to find if there were any branches that he could climb on. If he could climb

Does the view from the top of the tree open up and make it easier to find the way forward?

"Climbing a tree? You can give it a try..." Xiang Peng reached out and grabbed an arm-thick branch beside him, and used the momentum to jump up and climb to a height of about two meters.

He is also one of the top masters among the Xiang clan. Their work, which involves working in deep mountains and old forests for many years, requires climbing trees and swimming. Moreover, these pear trees are all lush and leafy.

If people prune regularly, they can easily find a place to step on. Climbing a five- to six-meter-high tree is as easy as a recreational project.

Xiang Peng stepped on a branch that stretched out and tried to climb up, but suddenly his feet were free. The branch he stepped on seemed to be rotten, and it couldn't help but break with the slightest external force.

Xiang Peng's feet were empty and his body sank involuntarily. Fortunately, he had enough climbing experience. He grasped the branch above with both hands and leaned on the main trunk with his toes. He was about to climb up and find another one.

Focusing on it, the seemingly thick branch in his hand broke directly, and Xiang Peng fell straight down from a height of more than two meters.

The incident happened suddenly, and there was no 'click' sound before the tree trunk broke, nor was there the lingering feeling of being broken and connected to the tendons when the branches cracked and then split along the trunk.

It broke without any warning, as if it had been cut with a knife.

"Second brother..." Xiang Kun quickly opened the branches and helped Xiang Peng up, "Second brother, are you okay?".

The ground was full of fallen branches and leaves, and the height of two meters was not very scary. Moreover, Xiang Peng's skills were also very good. Although the falling posture was not very elegant and beautiful, he was not injured.

Xiang Peng raised his head and looked at the broken branch for a while, then picked up the branch on the ground and twisted it twice at the break. Then he turned around and broke off the nearby branches a few times. The branches were very strong and grew on the trunk.

Even if it is not rotten or festered or broken or torn off, it does not seem to be a problem with the branches.

Maybe it happened that the two branches he stepped on and caught were rotten, and the other branches were normal. According to normal assumptions, these branches could fully support his weight, and climbing to the top of the tree would not be a problem at all.

Xiang Peng grabbed the branch of an ancient tree in front of him and tried it. The feeling and firmness in his hand were acceptable. As long as he was fast enough and kept trying, he could stand on the top of the tree and find his direction in a few minutes.

So Xiang Peng climbed up the branch as quickly as possible.

Two meters is not very high, less than half the height of the trees in this valley. After Xiang Peng climbed to the previous position, he suddenly let go of his hand and jumped down proactively as if he hadn't caught anything, but his expression changed after he landed.

It changed.

"Second brother, are you... okay?" Xiang Kun asked, "Is there something wrong up there? What happened?".

"I don't know, but there is no way..." Xiang Peng shook his head as if with lingering fear, "I don't know why, the branches above two meters... seem to be fake, and I can't grasp them at all...".

Xiang Kun said "Ah" and asked again, "How about we go back to find our elder brother?".

"Looking for eldest brother, do you want to go back and cause trouble for the young master? No!" Xiang Peng scolded him, "Besides, there is no way out, can you go back?".

It was surrounded by dense forests, and the petals on the ground were smashed to pieces by the branches that had just fallen. Moreover, this sign seemed to be a one-time setting, and it would not be possible to reuse it and return to the original route.

If there is no way to go but forward and backward, it seems that whoever is responsible for guiding the way wants to ensure that those who enter the valley will never return?

"No, it seems that this is a trap deliberately set by someone. After the young master and the others enter the valley, they will never be able to find their way back. We have to inform the elder brother to let them exit as soon as possible..." Xiang Peng said a long sentence.

A whistle indicating danger. If Xiang Guang could hear it, there would definitely be an echo.

It has always been quiet in the dense forest. I haven't heard any sounds of birds or insects since entering the valley. Apart from these pear trees, there seems to be no other native life in such a large forest. It is as quiet as

A pool of stagnant water.

The wind blew through the branches and leaves in the forest, and there was no sound of swinging leaves or friction of leaves. Apart from hearing their own voices, they seemed to be enclosed in a patio surrounded by dense forest and isolated from the world.

There was no reply from Xiang Guang, and he didn't know whether it was because he didn't hear it or for other reasons. Xiang Peng tried to send a distress signal twice more, but after waiting for a while, there was still no reply.

"Second brother, what's going on?" Xiang Kun asked anxiously, "Why don't you tell me which direction the young master and the others are in, whether the road ahead is good or bad, where is the life gate in this forest, and where do we start from?

If you can go out in the direction, why don't you also tell your elder brother to let him...".

"Don't make any noise!" Xiang Peng signaled him to shut up. He moved the five fingers of his right hand slowly a few times, then shook his head, stopped there and thought about it, and then calculated again. Then he shook his head again, and Xiang Kun asked, "What?

As a result, which direction to take?".

Xiang Peng kept shaking his head, "I don't know! I can't calm down all the time. It seems that I can't think of anything if I am disturbed... Lingering, dying, empty, no bones left, this place is too weird... I can't explain clearly.

…”.

"Okay, second brother, don't force yourself. If there's no way up there, let's continue cutting down the trees..." Xiang Kun suggested, "As long as we cut off the branches below, even if we don't go back to look for eldest brother, there are only a few of us."

If you can get out of the forest, there is a river in front of you...".

There seems to be some truth in what he said, and there is nothing else to think about except this method, because currently this is the only feasible method.

Xiang Peng has been cutting down trees with his disciples all morning. Although his work efficiency is not very good, he is still a skilled worker with cutting experience. At this time, without thinking much, he took out the machete from his backpack and followed the stream.

Cut all the way in the direction, and you can get out of this weird dense forest as soon as you reach the stream.

The sky above the valley has been blocked by the dense and opaque cumulonimbus clouds. Although the midday sun is very bright and hot, it has no effect on the cumulonimbus clouds with a hint of cold air. It is still very dark and humid in the dense forest.

Xiang Guang used a light source to explore the way in front. As soon as he took two steps, Ji Lang stood in front of him and signaled him to retreat. This place was different from the normal deep mountains and old forests where he could judge the approximate location based on the direction of the mountain.

Xiang Guang's specialty is finding graves, but it has almost no use here because this valley itself is not a normal boundary.

Lan Tianxing put his arm around Ji Lang's shoulders and pulled him behind him. He planned to take this 'Thunder' by himself. 'San'er' once said that their banker has many very good genetic habits, such as sending his biological son to

Giving someone away is another example of standing at the front of the team to go to the minefield.

"Tianxing, it's dangerous..." Rose King warned in a low voice. She was worried about letting Lan Tianxing go into danger himself.

"Well! Follow orders..." Lan Tianxing said with a sullen face, instead of joking with her to adjust the tension as usual, but said seriously, "Follow me, no matter what happens, don't mess up the order.

!Those who don’t want to obey orders can go back now!”

"Yes!" Ji Lang and Rose King looked at each other and no one dared to say anything. Rose King crossed over Ji Lang and stood behind Lan Tianxing, but she didn't dare to compete with him for the first place. She just

I want to be closer to him so that if an accident happens, I can block the knife for him as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the eldest young master of the Lan family.

"If she wanted me to die, she wouldn't have tried so hard to lure me here..." Lan Tianxing suddenly sighed, "Besides, this valley was also where I lived...".

"By the way, logically speaking, you should know the way! But, young master, are you thinking about people when you see things?" The Rose King teased, "The flower soul in the valley has been guarding you for thousands of years, so it should be the same.

A pure and infatuated beauty, right?".

Ji Lang disapproved and retorted, "It is possible to be infatuated and infatuated. Being so cunning and calculating must be impure. Women's scheming has always been unpredictable and unpredictable. You can't really believe it..." (
