The tall tree kept moving backwards as Gu Hua ran at full speed, and the innumerable flowers and plants gradually disappeared. Gu Hua didn't know how long she had been running, but she felt her heart, lungs and kidneys were almost exhausted, and then she slowly stopped.
"There's no need to run," the Flowertail Beast that had been silent for a long time said tiredly, "Look back."
Gu Hua Wei turned around suddenly, and saw that not far behind them, there was a black-spotted snake with no remains of its corpse, and a fire that had already started spreading. It seemed that even though she had run for so long, she did not run for too long, as if … It was as if he was still spinning in his original place.
She was frightened by her own strange idea, but it was obvious that it was right.
"Don't think about it." The beast let out a sad sigh as it sat on her shoulder. It had used too much demonic power. It no longer had its original venomous tongue. Instead, it was a bit annoyed and said, "We can't get out anymore."
"Is this an illusion?" Gu Hua's eyes lit up. Only illusions could cause her to spin around in place.
"No," the Flowertail Beast denied, "This is an invisible formation. If it wasn't for the person who entered, he would never have known that there was actually a formation here."
"Formation?" He was a little surprised, "How did you discover it?"
"From the moment you entered this place." No one could sense the fluctuations in the air more clearly than the Flowertail Beast. From the moment they entered this place, everything had already become abnormal.
Gu Hua thought for a moment, and an idea suddenly appeared in her mind, "So you're saying that there's a formation here that can only be activated after someone has entered the forest?"
The Flowertail Beast ground its fangs up and down, "It's still not hopeless."
"But, hasn't the formation been destroyed by your fire?"
The Flowertail Beast buried its head into Gu Hua Wei's neck, and for the first time, it knew what it meant by losing face. "Actually, I didn't."
It originally thought that it was only a normal formation, and that the core of the formation would definitely be nearby. As long as it was a necessary part of the formation that was burned down by a large fire, the formation would be broken.
Gu Hua Wei Wei Wei hid her disappointment well, teasing gently, "It's okay, there's still me."
Although this little guy had a venomous tongue, he had been following her ever since they met. Gu Hua Wei suddenly realized that even if he was alone, he still had a beast protecting him. This feeling of being protected by a small animal was indescribably wonderful.
"Mm …" The floral tail beast stretched out its pink tongue and licked the little girl's skin. Its big eyes quietly curled up.
Looking at the grieving Black Spot Snake, Gu Hua was slightly curious, "Then what are these snakes?"
If formations were their greatest obstacle, then why would these snakes appear within the formations?!
"Do you still remember the Soul-Losing Incense?" The Flowertail Beast changed the topic, "What's the antidote for the Soul-Losing Incense?"
The only antidote to the Soul Losing Incense was a heavy fire on the moon.
The Heavy Fire in the Moon only exists in the Lost Swamp.
Gu Hua was slightly enlightened: "If the Soul-Losing Incense is just a primer, then the Heavy Fire in the Moon is a priming factor. And since this person who triggered the array is the prey, the role of the Black Spot Snake is nothing more than to report the situation and drag out the prey."
"Not bad." The Flowertail Beast's long eyelashes slid back and forth on Gu Hua's skin. It was extremely happy as it said, "From the moment you entered the illusion, all of you have been calculated to perfection."
Gu Hua Wei did not know what New Deer City was trying to do, but she had a feeling that New Deer City knew the truth. After that, they would search for the heavy fire on the moon, two different types of heavy fire on the moon, and if they were not careful, they would find the fatal poison that could cause harm to people, and in the end, it would be the shackles of the formation that prevented people from escaping.
Gu Hua carefully went through everything before finally understanding everything clearly.
The Lost Swamp, from the beginning, was to prevent them from coming back.
Wasn't the original purpose of being lost to others?
If there are no floral animals, if there are no floral beasts... She really didn't dare to imagine what kind of fate would befall her.
In that case, what would Yun Ying and Gu Qingcheng encounter? Their fates were not necessarily better than hers.
However, these weren't things she could worry about. Gu Hua Wei was only feeling tired, and the unspeakable fatigue made her unable to open her eyes.
The floral tail beast stretched out its claws to scratch her face, "You're not allowed to sleep, you're not allowed to sleep! Do you hear me?!"
Gu Hua woke up from her stupor to see the Flowertail Beast's eyes filled with worry. "Idiot, no matter how tired you are, you can't sleep. The smell of blood has already spread and the swamp will soon not be peaceful."
Therefore, you must not fall asleep, or else …
"I know." Miss Gu felt that the floral tail beast was her lucky star. She scooped it out and hugged it. She really had to give her thanks to this little fellow.
The Flowertail Beast lazily laid in her embrace, trying to make his ears less red. He said seriously, "Since the Formation Aperture isn't on the ground, then it must be underground."
"You're saying …"
"There must be another cave beneath the swamp, better to chop off the shrubs!" However, it was obviously too late.
"Listen," the floral tail beast's ears perked up, its mouth was close to her ear, and its voice was as soft as a breeze, "If anything happens, don't worry about me, cut off the bushes at the edge of the swamp."
"No way!" Gu Hua rejected him without even thinking, "You're too small, so you should hurry up and hide in the underbrush. You're not allowed to come out!" The shrubbery was probably free of poisonous creatures like snakes and bugs. For now, it was safe.
"How stupid." The Flowertail Beast couldn't help but begin to speak venomously again, but this time, it didn't object to this suggestion.
Gu Hua gave a faint smile. The eight-year-old girl was in a miserable state, and her black face no longer revealed her fair and cute appearance. There was only a pair of big bright eyes, just like the stars in the sky.
It must have lost its IQ after following this idiot. The flytail beast suddenly shook its head. Why did it think that a human was beautiful?! What the hell!
Gu Hua didn't know what was going on in the floral tail beast's mind. She was only willing for the flame to spread into the thicket. That might be a good opportunity for her.
"The fire will be extinguished soon." The Flower-Tailed Beast calmly gazed at the swamps that were already beginning to surge. "You must be prepared."
Gu Hua blinked her eyes and hugged the Yu Han that was starting to turn rosy. She hid it in a slightly hidden location in the trees, hoping that it would be alright after it was all over.
"You have a lot to do." The Flowertail Beast rolled his eyes. If it wasn't for this pretty boy, there wouldn't be so many things happening. This idiot was the biggest fool! Hum!
