The sunset has dispersed and twilight has gathered.
From morning to night.
The food in Mo Qing's backpack had long been eaten, so she and Jiang Ke could only eat wild fruits to satisfy their hunger.
A bit down and out.
"My sense of taste is almost gone," Mo Qing threw away the wild fruit in his hand and told Jiang Ke, "I'll go find them and order something to eat."
Jiang Ke couldn't agree more: "To the northwest, two of them were alone. Do you want my help?"
Mo Qing said: "No, just wait."
She clapped her hands, ducked out of sight, and disappeared.
A quarter of an hour later.
Jiang Ke felt that the wait was a bit long, so he checked the time on his cell phone, which was about to run out of battery.
As soon as the screen turned on, he saw Chi Shi's message.
[Chi Shi]: The ringing of the bell will confuse people's minds. After being hit, they will spin around in the mountains and cannot go near the bell. In severe cases, it will cause hallucinations, leading to mental disorder or death.
[Chi Shi]: There is only one way to get the bell.
…
[Chi Shi]: I can’t remember.
Jiang Ke: "..."
One day he will have to let emo study Chi Shi's critical forgetfulness problem.
Just when Jiang Ke was speechless, there was the unusual swaying of tree branches behind him.
Jiang Ke's nerves tightened.
The next moment, I heard familiar footsteps and relaxed again.
"Have you contacted Chi Shi?"
Mo Qingshi came over with a pile of food in his arms.
"Received three messages." Jiang Ke showed the text messages to Mo Qing.
Immediately, he noticed that the two people who originally went out to relieve themselves were now following the large army.
There seemed to be nothing unusual about them.
Jiang Ke was confused: "Where did you get your food?"
"They gave it to them," Mo Qing said. "I found some psychedelic drugs on the mountain and fed them to them. They are probably in a trance at the moment."
She stuffed half of the food into Jiang Ke and said, "Eat first to conserve your energy. It will take a lot of effort to travel like this at night."
Then she freed her hand, took Jiang Ke's cell phone, and looked at Chi Shi's messages carefully.
Finally, she threw the phone back to Jiang Ke: "The only way is to become deaf, right?"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple."
"How to say?"
"Second Master Wen is not a mediocre person. Since he stayed in Liangxunshan for three months, he must have tried all kinds of methods, including deafness." Jiang Ketiao analyzed.
Mo Qing thought about it carefully: "What do you think of the road Wen Yingxue mentioned?"
Jiang Ke said: "Have you noticed that we have been following him for a whole day and there has not been much wind."
"Wen Yingxue took the detour to avoid the wind?" Mo Qing said, "That's unreasonable. The wind may blow the sound farther, but as long as the bell rings, you can hear it if you are close."
Mo Qing shook his head: "They will fall into the same trap."
"What kind of sound can cause hallucinations when you hear it? It's too outrageous. But what if," Jiang Ke paused, "in addition to ringtones, there are sounds that humans can't hear but will be affected by?"
Mo Qing raised his eyes and stared at Jiang Ke.
In the dusk, Jiang Ke frowned slightly and made a stern analysis: "Perhaps this road can avoid this sound. After all, you are so sensitive to that sound, but you haven't had anything strange since you followed them."
"What you said is not unreasonable." Mo Qing nodded, "However, this path should have been calculated by Mr. Wen, and it is impossible to practice it personally. There is no way to avoid the problem of being tricked after approaching the bell."
"It depends on whether Wen Yingxue has any backup plans." Jiang Ke said, "Given the ease with which she can lead people up the mountain, there is a high probability that she will."
"but……"
"Her backhand may not be entirely useful."
Mo Qing gave Jiang Ke an approving look.
Carrying Jiang Ke with you is much easier for Goblin than having Song Yiyuan with you.

The sky turned completely dark.
Brother Ying asked someone to turn on the flashlight to illuminate the way forward.
After walking all day, they were tired and tired, and somewhat impatient.
Brother Ying asked Wen Yingxue angrily: "How long will it take?"
"Soon."
Wen Yingxue was unusually calm.
"You've been saying these two words all day long!" someone in the team said angrily.
Wen Yingxue said without changing her expression: "I can't escape, so there's no need to waste your time with me."
At the same time, she glanced at Brother Ying again: "You must have been to the mountain before. Have you ever walked so far without being affected?"
"..."
Everyone stopped talking.
really.
They went up the mountain before and got lost after a while. Some of their companions even had hallucinations.
The process can never be pushed forward.
Otherwise, they would not have set their sights on Wen Yingxue.
Brother Ying snorted, but still threatened: "Don't play tricks."
"Even if I get the Jiuyun fragments from the mountain, I still can't get them all together." Wen Yingxue said, "It's better to have it as a bargaining chip. Without it, it won't have any impact."
She said it so straightforwardly.
Brother Ying thought about it carefully and relaxed his vigilance a little.
He said: "Keep on going."
Wen Yingxue, who had been "obedient" since climbing the mountain, did not move at this moment.
She frowned and said, "I want to eat something, please untie me."
Brother Ying looked at her for a long time.
Wen Yingxue's expression was neither humble nor arrogant.
Finally, Brother Ying waved his hand and agreed.
Someone immediately stepped forward and used a knife to cut the rope binding Wen Yingxue's wrists.
With her hands freed, Wen Yingxue moved her arms, but as soon as she moved, she saw three people approaching her, staring at her warily and defensively.
Wen Yingxue raised the corners of her lips very lightly.
——You really value her.
"Give."
Brother Ying threw a piece of bread and a bottle of water to Wen Yingxue.
As for Wen Yingxue, she continued to lead the way while eating bread.
Can--
Inevitably, they heard the bell when they walked to a hillside.
