Dong Zheng explored around alone, and finally found a path that he could barely take.
He picked up a long, sturdy branch and used it as a walking stick, so he could walk better.
Dong Zheng walked for almost an hour, gradually approaching the edge of the swamp, and suddenly felt a little movement in the prisoner's space.
Cui Zuojing was awake, rubbed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the bed. His hair was messy. He gave Dong Zheng a signal that he was going out.
Dong Zheng temporarily let him out.
After a rest, Cui Zuojing's face was slightly better. The mist was not poisonous. He looked around and asked, "Are you going out soon?"
"It should be soon." Dong Zheng stopped and handed the recovered Tang Dao to Cui Zuojing. The blood above him had been roughly cleaned up, "What are you doing out of?"
"This is not a good place. I'll be safe with you." Cui Zuojing stared at the woods in the dark and said, "I'm fine anyway."
"Don't lie to me." Dong Zheng knew that Cui Zuojing was in poor condition from the Arabidopsis that was lingering in the center of the kernel. He raised his hand and touched Cui Zuojing's forehead. There was some low fever.
Cui Zuojing shook his head to the side and hummed: "It's really hard to wait for someone to be with you and not happy."
Dong Zheng didn't force him when he saw the situation: "Yes, if you feel uncomfortable, go back immediately and don't hold on."
Cui Zuojingman said casually: "I see."
It is indeed better for the two to support each other than for one person alone. Dong Zheng shows Cui Zuojing the ruby he got from the immortal head of Hydera. Of course, Cui Zuojing does not know what this can do.
Without a boat, crossing the swamp is very difficult. When walking to the edge of the swamp, Dong Zheng is almost out of strength. Cui Zuojing is tired and can go back to the prisoner's space to rest, but he can't.
Finally stepping on the dry and hard ground, Dong Zheng closed his eyes. He wanted to sit down and rest for a while, sleep, and lay on Cui Zuojing's legs in the underground cavity.
But he just stood by the tree trunk for a few minutes, and then strode again.Dong Zheng was afraid that with his current physical condition, once he sat down to rest, he would never get up again.
The color of the dark sky seemed to be lighter, faintly blue, and the stars gradually dimmed.
It's almost dawn.
Rao was asleep just now, and Cui Zuojing also felt tired. He looked up at Dong Zheng: "Is it okay? Otherwise, take a rest."
Dong Zheng shook his head: "Let's find a place to rest when it's dawn. It always feels unsafe here."
After leaving the swamp, the mangrove forest gradually thinned out, and there was a small intestinal path in the gravel, I don't know where to go.
The two walked in silence, and suddenly Dong Zheng reached out and stopped Cui Zuojing, who was looking down at the road.
Cui Zuojing raised his head, and at the end of the path, a shadow was squatting on the stone.
The two looked at each other and were alert, the creature must have seen them, but had not moved.
Cui Zuojing: Look at it in the past?
Dong Zheng: Let's go.
After the eye contact was completed, they stepped closer to the figure step by step. Cui Zuojing struck twelve points of spirit. To be honest, his current state is not good. If he encounters a powerful monster like Hydera again, it may be difficult to deal with.
As the two approached, the shadow gradually became clear. It was a monster with a lion-like body, a woman's face, and wings on its backs, with two front claws on the ground, sitting on the boulder.
Seeing the appearance of the monster clearly, Dong Zheng and Cui Zuojing looked towards the other side of the stone at almost the same time. As they expected, the stone road was divided by a cliff.
I have been staring at their monsters quietly, seeing the two standing still, and said first: "If you want to pass here, you must answer one of my questions. If you answer wrong, I will eat you up."
This familiar line, familiar monsters, familiar terrain, is simply a replica of the Sphinx fan. For this story, no one is already familiar with this story.
It was already clear, and Dong Zheng could clearly see the hair on Sphinx's face. He took a deep breath: "What's the problem?"
What animal has four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs at night, the most incompetent when the legs are the most?This question is the most widely known Sphinx mystery, and the answer must be known to everyone.
According to the routine of this box script, it should be relevant here, but what the monster said next was unexpected by Dong Zheng.
"So listen to my question." Sphinx said slowly: "A pair of sisters were born on the same day, the sister will be born from the sister, and the sister will also be born from the sister, who is this pair of sisters."
Cui Zuojing was stunned. He had never heard of such a statement.
Dong Zheng was also stumped for a moment, frowning slightly and thinking.Sphinx waited patiently for his answer. The lion's tail swayed behind him, waiting to bite their throat when they got the wrong answer or the two fled.
Each of the two sisters will be born from the other...
Mutual birth...transformation.
The stars in the night are getting darker and darker, the sky light is gradually translucent, driving the endless darkness, the moon is hidden in the clouds, and the sun at the day jumps from the sea level at the moment when it disappears.
Cui Zuojing is also thinking. According to the original Sphinx mystery, this mystery and the answer are also a metaphor, a very vivid metaphor.
Looking at the distant sky, he felt that the answer seemed to be coming out of his mouth, but he couldn't think of its name for a while.
what is it?
"The answer is day and night."
Dong Zheng's calm voice sounded beside him, and Cui Zuojing was stunned, while the squat's sphinx's complexion suddenly changed, and he almost planted it from the stone.
It howled bitterly and hissed: "The group of people who answered my first question four hundred years ago, so I spent almost a hundred years thinking about this question, and I was so right. That's impossible!"
It roared for a while, and finally raised his hand frantically, pointing to the north: "Go down the road to the end and smash the stone with the eagle, what you want is there."
Having said that, it seemed to be extremely ashamed, and once again looked up to the sky and jumped, jumping into the cliff.
Cui Zuojing probed, watching the monster fall, and fell heavily on the reef, instantly swallowed by the sea water.
It's exactly the same as its legend.
He turned around and asked, "How did you guess?"
Day and night, when Dong Zheng said the answer, Cui Zuojing suddenly realized that on the same day, day was born from night and night also appeared from day. It is reasonable to think about it carefully, but it is really difficult to guess.
Dong Zheng smiled and said, "The combat effectiveness is not good. If my brain can't keep up, I still have a face to help you."
Cui Zuojing raised his eyebrows and said, "It's already very good. Your ability is not a special combat unit... Hey, when you hit Hydera, did you pass on your thinking to me?"
"Yes, there is a mapping of our blood contract in my core world. I seem to be able to pass my thinking to you to some extent."
Dong Zheng explained to Cui Zuojing while walking in the direction indicated by Sphinx, "At that time, I suddenly saw a path and a lot of ghosts. I thought it was probably the best course of action, so I passed it to is you."
Cui Zuojing felt his chin thoughtfully: "Deduction method?"
Dong Zheng: "It's a bit like, you might have to wait until you feel that way again, but you followed that path and did kill Hydera very smoothly."
Cui Zuojing stepped and couldn't help but sigh: "I'm looking forward to seeing you grow up now."
The sun leaped from the distant sea level, the first bright sky light shining on the sea, islands and starry sky, the night was dispelled, the shallow light fell into the dark pupils of Dong Zheng and Cui Zuojing.
Day is here.
The two stopped at the same time, watching the red sun rise slowly, and the cool and humid sea breeze blew past, making Cui Zuojing unable to close his eyes and take a deep breath.
If he ignores his hungry stomach, he really enjoys it.
Dong Zheng was more hungry than him. Fortunately, Cui Zuojing returned to the prisoner's space to eat a meal while in the underground cavity. Dong Zheng had not entered a grain of rice since noon yesterday.
Although Dong Zheng didn't say anything, Cui Zuojing pityed him a little, and suggested: "Come on for a break and have something to eat. Anyway, I already know the way. In case you are hungry and have no strength at the critical moment, you are done."
Dong Zheng responded well, he stopped, his legs were tired so fast that he wasn't his own, and he sat down holding the tree trunk and massaged his sore muscles.
Cui Zuojing carried the knife into the woods and came back soon. The tip of the knife dripped blood and carried the ears of the bodies of the two hares.
Cui Zuojing went to pick up some firewood again. He sat down cross-legged next to Dong Zheng, cleaned the rabbit skillfully and cleanly, peeled off the whole skin, tore a string of rabbit legs, lit the branches with flint and started to roast.
The grass in the center of the inner core looks much better. Dong Zheng felt relieved. He massaged his calf, exhaustion emerged from the depths of each cell. Now he stopped and felt sore all over his body.
He was a little afraid that after taking a break, his nearly overdrawn body would have difficulty supporting him.
Cui Zuojing intently roasted the rabbit legs, waiting to burn the meat to the point of oil, and wanted to pass it to Dong Zheng to eat, but found that the man did not know when to fall asleep on the trunk.
The teenager did not disturb him, looked at the rabbit leg roasted in his hand, and consciously ate it first.
Dong Zheng slept for thirty minutes, and suddenly he woke up. He opened his eyes and saw that Cui Zuojing was opposite him, and the two were in a relatively open place. They were relieved and jumped in shock. Heart, lean back on the tree again.
"Wake up? Eat something and sleep again." Cui Zuojing handed him the rest of the rabbit legs. "It's almost unseasoned and tastes good, so I can eat it."
Dong Zheng took over and picked a bite from the most tender place. Cui Zuojing had good craftsmanship, but there was no seasoning or salty taste, and it was still a little difficult to swallow.
But Dong Zheng was really hungry, and regardless of the taste, he devoured the rabbit legs cleanly. He swallowed the last bite, and Cui Zuojing baked the rabbit's body to him again.
The burning sensation in the stomach was a little lighter. Dong Zheng was busy nibbling the rabbit. Cui Zuojing asked his cheek to eat, and suddenly said: "How cute is Bunny, how can you eat Bunny."
Dong Zheng glanced at him, tearing a bite of meat down, chewing it very hard, deliberately.
Cui Zuojingle was happy, he magically touched a mineral water bottle from behind, and there was a bottle full of water: "I found a small mountain creek when I was looking for firewood, and I picked it up."
Dong Zheng took a sip, the water was very clear, with a hint of leaves, he drank most of the bottle, and the rest was picked up by Cui Zuojing, and he didn't mind being drunk by Dong Zheng in his mouth.
The teenager rubbed his mouth bravely with his back and swayed up: "Wait here, I'll pick up a little more."
