"Could it be that all these trees have..." Ling'er was surprised again.
"Yes, these trees have been dead for many years. The insides of the branches are already rotten. But because the ground here is sinking and the terrain is very low, it is less affected by the wind. In addition, the cobwebs and dead vines between these trees are entangled with each other. The rotten tree trunk barely maintained its original upright appearance." Qi Yang explained.
"I see." Ling'er looked at these dead trees seriously. Although the tree trunks are heavily entangled and covered with dead vines and spider webs, and it is difficult to see clearly the decayed and yellowed bark on them, but looking at them as a whole, you can still feel that they are less than ordinary trees. She felt strange just now, but now she realized that what was missing was anger. These are all lifeless dead things in front of me.
After Ling'er looked at it, she shook her head. She didn't like such a gloomy place at all. She said: "No wonder this forest is so lifeless and scary."
While Ling'er was observing the dead tree, Qi Yang also lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought. Hearing Ling'er speak, he raised his eyes and responded.
"Brother Yang, have you discovered anything else?" Ling'er asked curiously.
"Nothing." Qi Yang said.
Seeing that Brother Yang had reservations about him, Ling'er was inevitably disappointed.
"I just figured out some things." Qi Yang explained quickly, fearing that Ling'er would misunderstand. He didn't say it, but he just felt that those things had nothing to do with Ling'er, and it was better to have less than more.
"Just figure it out." Ling'er smiled. Although she really wanted to know what Brother Yang was thinking just now, Brother Yang didn't want to say it, and it was hard for her to ask.
Seeing that Ling'er's mood didn't seem to be affected much, Qi Yang didn't mention the matter again. He said: "No one has ever entered this forest. It's probably not easy to get through."
Ling'er followed Brother Yang's gaze and immediately understood what he meant. I saw that the ground in the forest was filled with broken branches and dead leaves, making it difficult to find any space to stay. It's not impossible to just step on the dead branches, but no one can be sure whether there is solid ground under the dead branches. If one foot is missing, that would be bad. It's okay if he falls, but Brother Yang is injured all over his body, how can he take this risk?
Ling'er said frustratedly: "There is no other way." Is it possible to turn back and climb the steep slope?
Seeing Ling'er turn back to look at the road he had walked, Qi Yang guessed Ling'er's thoughts and quickly comforted her: "No matter how difficult it is to walk, it is better than a steep slope. How about I take the girl there?"
"Use Qinggong? No! Never!" Ling'er firmly objected, "Don't waste your inner strength!"
"Uh..." Qi Yang didn't expect Ling'er's reaction to be so intense, so he hurriedly explained, "I don't lack this little internal strength."
Linger looked at him suspiciously. Not short of this little internal strength? Who just chose the shortest tree to test the speculation in order to save some internal energy? Don't think she doesn't know.
Qi Yang felt guilty when Ling'er saw him, and added: "This is not a waste, right?"
"Don't think about that. Let's walk there step by step! Just go slower." Ling'er said.
Seeing Ling'er leaning over to pick up a branch, Qi Yang understood Ling'er's thoughts. She didn't want to waste her inner strength, nor did she want to risk stepping on dead branches, but chose the safest way - to open a path.
"Then I'll leave first this time." Qi Yang also expressed his stance. He couldn't always let Ling'er suffer.
