"It's in the backpack. We lost everything." Fang Xue blushed. Speaking of which, the reason why she and Yu Mu had fallen to this state was entirely because of her.

Di Jiu frowned and did not continue asking how Yu Mu and Fang Xue came to this place.

Seeing Di Jiu's frown, Fang Xue hurriedly said, "Yu Mu and two other companions and I are going to the Wangchuan Temple for fun. I don't know why, but I suddenly see a wooden bridge that I've never seen before. I've been to Wangchuan Temple a few times, but I didn't have this kind of wooden bridge before. I thought it was a new scenic spot, so I stepped on the wooden bridge. I didn't expect that I would see a few grey wolves just as I stepped onto the wooden bridge. I was so shocked that I ran away … "

Yu Mu continued with Fang Xue's words, "I saw Fang Xue run and I followed. Fang Xue said there were quite a few wolves. Although I didn't see them, I didn't feel like it was fake." "In the end, we lost all our phones along the way, so we're now completely lost. For the past few days, we've been eating wild fruits and grass roots, as well as a few pieces of chocolate."

"You did see the wolf?" Di Jiu was a little doubtful. Since the Wangchuan Temple was a scenic spot, it was impossible for a few grey wolves to appear at the same time.

Fang Xue hesitated slightly before saying, "I must have seen it at the time. Later on, I also wondered if I was mistaken. The Wangchuan Temple is at the outermost region of the Forgetfulness Mountain Range, and the dangerous areas of the Forgetfulness Mountain Range are cut off from each other, so how could there be a wolf? "

"How many days have you been here?"

"It's probably been two or three days. These past few days, we've been running away in fear, and we don't know exactly how much time has passed …" After Fang Xue answered Di Jiu's question, she looked hesitantly at Di Jiu and asked, "Big Brother, did you get lost like us?"

Di Jiu nodded, "That's right, I was also lost." My name is Di Jiu, you can call me by name from now on. There's a lake not too far away from here. Let's go to the lake for a night's stay and get some food. We'll then continue our search for the road in the daytime tomorrow. "

"Ahh …" Just as Di Jiu finished his sentence, Fang Xue exclaimed once again. She then said in fear, "I saw the wooden bridge again. It's over there."

Di Jiu and Yu Mu simultaneously looked in the direction Fang Xue was pointing. There was no bridge, and the direction Fang Xue was pointing in was completely covered in brambles.

Yu Mu also felt that something was wrong and his face turned pale. She did not see the wooden bridge, but she vaguely sensed that a shadow had disappeared in the direction of the thorns.

Di Jiu grabbed Fang Xue's wrist, and he immediately felt the coldness. Di Jiu took out a medicinal plant and gave it to Fang Xue. "Chew this medicinal plant into pieces and swallow it. Yu Mu, help me look at this map."

Di Jiu, who had originally planned to rest here for the night, had now given up. He felt that this place was a little strange. He did not think that Fang Xue would suddenly see the brambles as wooden bridges.

As long as Yu Mu knew the directions on the map, he would rather travel through the night.

The map Di Jiu took out was a flat map. Although it was marked to the east, south, west, and north, none of the forests, cliffs, and valleys were known to Di Jiu.

"I know, this forest used to be the Wangchuan Temple …" Yu Mu exclaimed in surprise when he saw Di Jiu take out the map. Her surprise only lasted for a short period of time before she said dejectedly, "Unfortunately, we don't have a compass, so we can only wait until tomorrow to leave."

Fang Xue gradually calmed down after swallowing the herb. She also said, "We can only rest for a day before we leave. Yu Mu doesn't have any stamina, so she can't even walk."

"I have a compass, so I can't move. I have to leave now. "If you don't leave, I'll leave first." Di Jiu took out his compass and said without hesitation.

After he finished speaking, Di Jiu took out another two pieces of Dry-Fried Noodles and passed them to Fang Xue and Yu Mu.

Because he also saw the shadow of the wooden bridge, he was sure that Fang Xue was not hallucinating. Standing in this place, he still felt that something was very wrong.

"The compass!" Yu Mu and Fang Xue both stared excitedly at the compass in Di Jiu's hand. As long as they had the compass and the map, they would definitely be able to walk out.

"Thank you, Brother Di." Although it was her first time meeting Di Jiu, Yu Mu knew that other than letting Di Jiu carry her, there was no other way. As for the dried noodles that Di Jiu gave them, it was like coal in a snowstorm.

Di Jiu carried Yu Mu on his back and walked directly towards the direction of the Wangchuan Temple.

Carrying Yu Mu on his back, Di Jiu felt two balls of softness assaulting him. He was pleasantly surprised. What surprised him was not the softness on his back, but his physical strength.

Since Di Jiu couldn't practice martial arts, he had been learning all kinds of scientific and technological knowledge and the way of medicine. Therefore, his physical strength was naturally very weak. This time around, he carried Yu Mu on his back and did not feel the strain. Now it seemed that his physical strength had more than doubled. Di Jiu lowered his head and looked at his chest. The thing that must have changed him was still that grey stone.

No wonder he didn't feel any pain when he climbed up the cliff.

"Brother Di, are you here for a tour as well?" The surroundings were too quiet, so Yu Mu took the initiative to ask.

"Yes." Di Jiu answered without thinking, and then stopped talking.

Seeing that Di Jiu didn't have any interest in talking, Yu Mu and Fang Xue didn't dare to speak anymore after eating the Dry-Fried Noodles. In the moonlit forest, only the sound of footsteps could be heard.

Di Jiu's physical strength was much better than before, carrying Yu Mu like this also felt a little unbearable.

The three of them walked and stopped along the way. Fortunately, nothing had happened that night. It was not until the morning of the next day that the three of them walked out of the forest and appeared on top of a mountain peak under the rays of the morning sun.

"I still can't see anything here." Fang Xue looked at the misty land in the distance and said with concern.

Yu Mu couldn't see anything, so the two could only wait for Di Jiu to speak. Even though they both knew that the forest on the map of the Forgetfulness Mountains was the direction of the temple, they had not walked through it.

Only now did Di Jiu start to shock his sight. Fang Xue and Yu Mu could not see anything, but he could vaguely see a few buildings very far away. He was sure that his eyes weren't as sharp as before, and from that, it could be seen that his body had undergone a complete transformation after being struck by that faint golden lightning.

It was just that at that time, he had just changed, yet he was already shocked by the news that Qu Xiaotu brought him, and had then escaped from the country of Ji.

… ….

After leaving the forest, the uncomfortable feeling disappeared without a trace.

"Take a break here for half a day, then continue walking." During the night, Di Jiu was very tired.

"Big Brother Di, thank you. If you didn't save me, I would have definitely died in the Forgotten River Mountain." Yu Mu rested on Di Jiu's back for an entire night and was barely able to stand up.

Di Jiu smiled. "I've learned a few doctors and have seen this method to cure the snake poison."

"Brother Di, are you a graduate from medical school?" Fang Xue asked Di Jiu in anticipation. Both she and Yu Mu were from the medical academy. However, the two of them were helpless in the face of that snake poison. Di Jiu's treatment of Yu Mu's snake venom seemed to be very simple.
