C45

There was no road at all on this mountain, and we could only follow the glint of light and make our way up through the trees.

With the experience he had with Xiao Xi Kou, digging his way through the forest wasn't too difficult.

However, as the mountain path neared, I didn't know how long I climbed, but when I neared the location, my hands and feet were almost numb. It was all due to the inertia.

"We're here!" Wu Ji pointed to the front.

With my hands clasped around my waist, I looked in the direction of his fingers. Everything was so different from what we'd expected.

He originally thought that the light would have traces of humans, but when he looked around, it was only a patch of forest, and those unknown plants grew even more lush and lush.

Disappointed as we were, we had come up to see what it was that glittered.

After crawling for quite a while, when we finally saw the shining thing, we could only use the word 'stupefied' to describe it!

"What kind of tree is this?" I looked up at the tall, thick tree in front of me, incredulous.

The shining thing we saw at the foot of the mountain, in this very tree, looked like the fruit of the tree, was gently swaying back and forth in the breeze.

The objects were the size of ping pong balls, reflecting a diamond-like luster under the sunlight. They looked more like crystal ball decorations hanging on a Christmas tree!

Wu Ji was also stunned, we have never seen such a thing before. If such a beautiful fruit exists in this world, it should have already been reported to the public!

"This place isn't real." Wu Ji looked at the diamond-like fruit, and suddenly said those words.

And this time even I was puzzled.

I couldn't help but look in the direction of the sun again. It was still a little to the west, but it wasn't that big, which meant that not much time had passed.

But the time and energy it took us to climb this high from the bottom of the mountain was more than obvious.

So not only was the time wrong here, there were also plants that he had never seen before. Now, he even discovered such a strange and stunning tree fruit. Everything was very wrong.

Previously, when Wu Ji said that this place isn't real, I thought that he was overthinking it.

Wu Ji and I are both here, and the smell is as far as my eyes can see, and all of this is so real and without the slightest flaw.

"Is there a possibility that all of this is our dream?" In the face of all of these strange events, my mind opened wide with speculation.

Although he also felt that this argument wasn't reliable, he still had to be careful and ask for confirmation with his bold guess.

Hearing this, Wu Ji did not refute my wild guess, but instead thought that it was possible, it was just that he did not know if this place was as simple as a dream.

We thought back to the beginning of all this and speculated a little about what had happened.

Wu Ji asked me if anything had happened after he fainted.

I thought about it for a moment. After he fainted, I was fine, but when I reached out to help him, it was as if I'd just touched his arm and immediately felt dizzy and my eyes went white. Then I woke up and was here.

Wu Ji frowned and paused for a while before continuing, "Earlier, you have never come in contact with that bottle, and when I held up the bottle, I also felt dizzy."

"So, it was because of that bottle that you fainted, and I touched you who touched the bottle, so I fainted along with you?"

Wu Ji nodded his head: "Scrawny Monkey also fainted for no reason, maybe he touched something in the warehouse!"

"But where are we now? Could it be that after I fainted, my soul left my body, or was it because that bottle was drawn into the same dream? " All this confused me.

"If... We were introduced to the world in the bottle! " Wu Ji spoke in a deep voice, looking at me.

"The world in the bottle …" I think that's a lousy assumption, but there's no better explanation for it.

Furthermore, Wu Ji pointed to the mountain in front of us. "Do you remember what was written on the bottle?"

I tried to think back, thinking that the painting on the bottle was nothing more than mountains, rivers, plants, and some ancient phoenixes. But the painting was very detailed, as if it were a painting of an immortal mountain.

Wu Ji was right, let me look at the mountain before me, then pointed to a long tree with leaves that looked like a sword, and asked me if I looked familiar.

I blinked and looked at the mountain range in front of me. The mountain range was covered by a layer of misty mist, making it impossible to see the peak. Strange tree branches and leaves hung down like a woman's long hair. All of this …

"It's the same as the one in the bottle!" I was astonished.

Wu Ji nodded his head, confirming that I was right.

"That is to say, after we fainted, we were lured into the painting on top of the bottle, or into the world of the bottle!" I couldn't believe it was real, but I couldn't question what I was seeing.

Wu Ji nodded his head: "If that's the case, then it won't be hard to explain everything that happened here!"

Although this conclusion was beyond our expectations, we knew that the sequence of events was quite stable. At least we wouldn't let ourselves continue to be immersed in this bottle. We just needed to think of a way to leave this place.

Although it wasn't a spell formation, it should have a similar concept. However, the spell formation usually trapped a person's body and consciousness, while the bottle should only have their consciousness or their soul.

Speaking of the soul, Wu Ji showed me if the jade pillar he gave me previously was still with me.

I said that the jade pillar was always hanging around my neck, but now it isn't there. Furthermore, this place isn't real, so why would it be on my body?

Wu Ji said that if I had worn that jade pillar on my body, then the thing in the bottle right now wouldn't be our souls but just consciousness. It would be like a dream, but this dream is more real and it isn't something that we can wake up with ease.

The reason he's so sure is because that jade pillar is a soul-suppressing item, and because my soul had mysteriously left my body back then in the Xiao Xi Kou, he told me to keep the jade pillar with me for soul-suppressing purposes.

With that jade pillar on my body, even if I were to use magical techniques by using Mountain Demon, it would be impossible to separate my soul from my fleshly body, much less this bottle.

After all, if the soul left the body, it would cause damage to the body after a long time, and no one could figure out how much time had passed.

At most, we will just stay unconscious for a while, but I hope that Li Tao can take good care of our bodies.

Wu Ji began to think of a way to break the seal, while I was more interested in the fruits on the trees. I didn't know if the fruits on the trees were diamonds or something, but it was a pity that I couldn't bring them back to the real world.

"But Scrawny Monkey also fainted, and Li Tianli was unconscious, could they have been pulled into the bottle as well? But they don't seem to have touched the bottle. " I wandered under the tree, thinking and talking.

However, Wu Ji said: "Even though they did not touch it back then, the bottle was most likely given to Li Tianli by the Scrawny Monkey, so the two of them must have touched it before."

"Then why were you fine before?" I wondered.

Wu Ji's expression paused for a moment, then suddenly said: "We used the blood talisman to injure the thing that called itself Qing Huazi, and only after that, did Li Tianli start to faint, and all of this happened after that."

"So you're saying, it's because of Qing Huazi? "Oh right, he previously said that he came from the Green Sky Cave at Jinyun Mountain, could it be …"

I looked up at the mountain.

The position of the sun did not change much. It was just like the blazing sun, so bright that one could not even open their eyes. The sunlight shone through the clouds at the top of the mountain, dyeing the misty clouds a faint golden color.

I had seen it before, but I had never thought it strange.

But thinking about it now, could it be that the Jin Yun Mountain Qing Huazi mentioned is here!

It claims to have come from the Golden Cloud Mountain's Green Sky Cave, and is most likely because of him that we are trapped here, and it is also because Li Tianli got hold of this bottle that we are offended with Qing Huazi!

Therefore, the place we are currently at, is Golden Cloud Mountain, but we don't know where the Blue Sky Cave and Qing Huazi are!
