Let's say that Gu Yuan's team went around in a circle and searched to no avail.
Everyone can only return to the place where they fought before to regroup.
"Otherwise, we just ignore everything and just choose a staircase to take. Why do we care so much?"
Faced with Little Eagle's proposal, Gu Yuan pondered for a while, but in desperation, he nodded.
"This is not a bad idea, so just choose any way."
In this secret realm that is different from the ordinary, perhaps the stupidest way is the best way.
However, Li Cheng, who had been standing by silently, had different opinions.
"This place is so weird. If I run around rashly, I'm worried that I'll be in danger."
"Should we stay where we are for the time being and observe the situation around here before taking any action?"
Yun Duoduo, who was still frightened by the previous sneak attack on the Demonic Blood Ancient Vine Tree, nodded repeatedly.
"I agree with Li Cheng's opinion. This place is really terrible. Let's just wait here and talk about it. Maybe others will come later?"
"We are running around, what if the next place we go to is foggy again?
I don’t want to meet the dryad again.”
After saying that, Yun Duoduo shrank her neck, obviously she was frightened just now.
Seeing Yun Duoduo's cute appearance, several people burst into laughter.
It was extremely cold in this place, so a few people made a bonfire and discussed for a while, and finally agreed with Li Cheng's opinion.
Stay where you are for the time being, and first understand the specific situation around you before making any plans.
After everyone rested for a while, they set out again to explore in all directions.
The circumference of the space is only a few miles. For Gu Yuan and others, it only takes a moment to find out the general situation.
When the four of them gathered together again, they shook their heads at their companions without noticing.
"There is no other way out here. The city walls are made of huge rocks. There is no possibility of breaking them. I don't know who transported these huge rocks here."
"We have no other way to get out of here except taking the stairs."
"Let's do this, Duoduo, you can choose a staircase and let's walk around and see if it doesn't work, then come back."
In the end, the four decided to go all out and let Yun Duoduo choose the way forward.
Yun Duoduo hesitated for a long time and finally chose the upward stairs on the east side.
In Duoduo's opinion, going up is far safer than going down. After all, going down may lead to entering the ground.
But obviously, the stairs going up are not very safe and are also full of many unknown possibilities.
The staircase Yun Duoduo chose was a dilapidated stone staircase. The stone staircase was badly worn and even incomplete in some places.
The stone staircase is very narrow, and only one person can stand on each step. If two people stand on it at the same time, it will be too crowded and very unsafe.
There are no handrails on the stairs. On both sides of it, there is a dark invisible material. It is so dark that nothing can be seen.
The little eagle picked up a pebble on the ground and threw it towards the side of the stairs. After waiting for a long time, he never heard any sound.
When this happens, either the sides of the stairs are suspended in the air and are so deep that the stones keep falling without making any sound when they touch the ground.
Either the two sides of the staircase belong to different spaces, and after the stone is thrown in, it enters another place, and Gu Yuan and the others cannot hear the echo of the stone falling to the ground.
No matter what the situation is, it is telling the four people that everyone must be careful when walking up this staircase.
A little carelessness may lead to extremely serious consequences.
This made the four people who were already confused about the road ahead feel more anxious.
Looking up from the first step of the stairs, there is just a white light, and it is impossible to tell how high the stairs are.
Gu Yuan took the initiative to stand up and walked at the front of the team.
Behind him is the little eagle, two steps away from Gu Yuan, and then Yun Duoduo.
Li Cheng walked at the end, keeping an eye on the situation behind everyone.
The four of them walked up the stairs cautiously, fearing that something unexpected would happen in the middle.
Everyone thought that this stone staircase would be very long and would take a long time to walk up.
But surprisingly, the stairs were not very long. Gu Yuan walked at the front for about a stick of incense before he vaguely saw something like a door. This door was also made of stone.
"There's a door ahead, and you can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
It is very depressing to keep walking on the narrow stone stairs.
As Gu Yuan was the first to enter the "door", the following three people, Little Eagle, Yun Duoduo, and Li Cheng, also followed.
They were ready, and there was still a stone building behind the door.
However, what surprised them was that what was behind the door was not stone but dirt.
When they pushed open the stone door, stepped on the dirt ground behind the "door", and saw the scene in front of them, the little eagle couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hahaha, Duoduo, you blind cat actually encountered a dead mouse, and you hit the right one, you are really unlucky.
Thank God, we finally came out."
"Little Eagle, what are you talking about?
You are the blind cat! What is it like outside?
Are there any ferocious beasts?”
"No, feel free to come out. There are woods outside."
"ah?
forest?
Will there be a demon blood ancient vine tree here?"
"I don't know about this either. However, no demon blood ancient vine tree has been found so far. You and Li Cheng should come out first and talk about it. Gu Yuan is almost gone."
Soon, Yun Duoduo and Li Cheng also walked out. This was a dense jungle.
The tall and short vegetation makes everything here green.
But what surprised everyone was that it was very quiet here, as quiet as death, with no living creatures nearby.
Not to mention the little birds, there weren't even any insects, and the silence was so unnerving.
There are tall trees on both sides. These trees grow very densely. As the four of them walked on the only path among the trees, they always felt a very heavy sense of oppression in their hearts.
"There is actually a small road here. Did someone intentionally leave it?
By the way, tell me, is there any danger here?"
Faced with Yun Duoduo's questions, no one in the team could give an accurate answer.
We can only protect Yun Duoduo in the middle, and each of them secretly holds the weapons in their hands, ready to fight at any time.
Gu Yuan was still walking at the front of the team.
He had been silent since he walked down the path.
No matter which companion spoke to him, he would immediately make a silence gesture.
His keen sense of perception made him always feel that something was secretly peeping at them in the woods on both sides of the path.
But the surrounding area is eerily quiet, and it doesn't look like there are any living creatures at all. Is it really like what Yun Duoduo said, that there are still tree demons here?
