Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 509: Lost

Anyone who has experience in outdoor activities knows that once you enter the woods, it is easy to go astray.

This is because it is impossible for you to walk in a straight line. After all, there are trees and vegetation everywhere. If you encounter any, you have to go around them. If you go around a few times, your direction will be completely messed up.

Fortunately, there is sun in the sky now, so we can find the direction. There is no forest on the map, maybe because the map is too old.

So the three of them discussed it and decided not to go west to chase Ning Xianer and the others. It was already very difficult to track footprints in the woods, and the vegetation was extremely lush. The three of them were also afraid that they would enter the Lost Forest while walking.

So the three of them turned south, intending to follow the direction that Qin Yan had learned the people of southern Xinjiang were taking, and then inquire again when they reached the next town.

And they walked for the whole morning, but still did not leave the woods.

This is strange, is this forest that big?
Yang Yiyi and Qin Yan are not locals and have never been here. Although Wu Shaoyi is a local, he has never left home. The trip to the Young Heroes Association was the farthest trip he had ever made.

So the three girls could only scratch their heads and continue walking south. Anyway, as long as they kept moving in one direction, they would definitely be able to leave the woods.

Then they saw what it meant when good fortune never comes alone and misfortune never comes alone.

After having a quick lunch with the dry food they brought with them, they were back on the road for a while before they heard the roar of thunder in the sky.

Oh shit, is it going to rain?
Getting wet by the rain is the least of your worries. What will be troublesome is if the sky is covered with dark clouds and you can’t find the sun.

It turns out that luck is really unreliable, and they encountered bigger troubles than rain.

For example, lightning.

It is spring now, and in this area of ​​southwest Central Plains, there are always sudden thunderstorms and even thunderstorms.

The rumbling thunder made people feel numb all over and they felt like their brains were about to be shaken out. The occasional flashes of lightning mixed in with the heavy rain were also scary, because the three people walking in the woods noticed that lightning fell not far from them and even caused a small fire.

Although the flames were put out by the heavy rain, having experienced this kind of thing before, the three of them didn't want to stay in the forest for too long, and they unconsciously sped up their progress.

Don't forget, there is no sun now, they are just walking in the direction they remember.

Well, now I'm completely lost.

The heavy rain continued to fall until the three of them could no longer bear it and found a tree hole to rest for a while. The heavy rain finally stopped.

When I climbed up the tree and looked, the sky was still gray and I couldn't see where the sun was at all.

Of course they couldn't find the spot after walking in the woods all day and now the sun had gone down.

If you want to confirm the location, you can only wait until tomorrow.

There was no other choice, so the three of them had to take out the small amount of oil and firewood they carried with them to start a fire, first build a bonfire to dry their wet clothes, and wait until the next day to take action.

This night could be said to be the most difficult night for Yang Yiyi. There were countless snakes, insects, rats, ants and other creatures in the forest. Moreover, due to its proximity to southern Xinjiang, most of the animals and plants here were poisonous, which was completely different from the situation in Yang Yiyi's hometown of Qizhou.

There are basically no poisonous snakes in Qizhou, and most of the snakes seen are just small grass snakes that pose no threat to humans. When Yang Yiyi was a child, he even caught snakes to make medicinal wine for his father.

But it’s different here. Non-poisonous ones are actually a minority. Not to mention that the insects here are several sizes larger than those in other places. Mosquitoes are almost as big as a palm.

Due to being harassed by snakes, insects, rats and ants, the three of them hardly slept that night and survived the whole night by relying on the campfire.

I finally saw the sky begin to lighten, and when I thought I could rely on the sun to identify the direction, there was another rumble of thunder...

Today's rain was heavier and more frequent than yesterday's, and the tree hole where the three of them stayed began to fill with water. If they continued to stay where they were, who knew when the rain would stop. Qin Yan was also eager to catch up with Zhou Yuxuan, so the three of them had to pick some large and thick banana leaves as umbrellas and continue to move forward in the rain.

As they couldn't see the sun, they were just groping their way around in the forest. Wu Shaoyi's wheelchair's bearings were almost stuck by the thin vines, but there was still no sign of them getting out of the forest.

Having said that, if Yang Yiyi is unreliable, then are Li Chengxi also unreliable?

When leaving Taoyuan Valley, Li Chengxi thought that Yang Yiyi might travel alone for a while, so he gave her a compass in advance and taught her how to use it. However, she didn't expect to meet Li Yingluo as soon as she arrived in human society, so she never used it.

Now is the time to use your compass.

But this time the compass didn't work. The compass, which should have always pointed to the south, was spinning like a propeller. If it went any faster, it would probably fly out.

The compass is not omnipotent. It can be useless when encountering places with chaotic geomagnetic fields. Unfortunately, Yang Yiyi and the others are probably in places with chaotic geomagnetic fields.

However, the built-in map function still works well and he won't get lost. But the problem is that Li Chengxi can't talk casually, and the three of them are always together, which doesn't give him any chance at all.

There was nothing I could do but turn on the computer on time every day to see where Yang Yiyi and the others were.

The good news is that by the second night, although the moon was still not visible and it was impossible to tell the direction, at least the heavy rain had stopped.

The three of them found a tree branch that was relatively high off the ground, built a fire underneath to scare away the approaching wild animals, and slept on it all night hanging on it like smoked meat. Although it was not very comfortable, at least they could get some shut-eye.

But the bad news is that the three were awakened by the rain. Yes, it was still raining heavily on the third day.

They were exposed to the rain for three days in a row. It was only because the three of them were skilled in martial arts and had strong resistance that they would have gotten sick, otherwise they would have gotten sick.

The sky was still pitch black, and walking in the forest I always felt like I couldn't tell the difference between day and night. The lush vegetation blocked almost all the light, and I often had to climb to the top of the trees to look around, hoping to see the direction to leave the woods.

But no, no matter how they looked, there was dense forest all around them. They were completely lost. Not to mention where they were going, they couldn't even tell where they were.

Compared with the problem of direction, the biggest problem for the three people now is that they have no food to eat.

Since they had never planned to stay in the wild for too long, they only brought one day's worth of dry food, which they had eaten long ago.

On the way, they could only drink the rain water from the leaves and pick some wild fruits, and they couldn't eat anything randomly, after all, they didn't know whether the fruits here were poisonous or not.

By the third night, when my stomach was growling with hunger and my eyes were almost glowing blue, things finally started to improve.

"Quick, make a fire, I found something to eat!"

Qin Yan, who went to observe on the tree, came around from behind the tree with a handful of mushrooms in her hand.

Wu Shaoyi and Yang Yiyi were also dizzy with hunger, but they had not lost their minds yet. When they saw that Qin Yan brought mushrooms, they became a little hesitant.

“Is this mushroom poisonous?”

"Of course not. This is chicken mushroom. Most people want to eat it but can't. Quickly light a fire. Once it's cooked, you can eat it."

When they heard that Qin Yan knew this kind of mushroom, Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi, who were so hungry that they couldn't bear it any more, dispelled their last doubts, and quickly took out the tinder, using the last bit of oil to ignite the damp firewood.

It can’t be called a delicious meal, but at least it filled my stomach. I hope I can find a way out tomorrow.
