"boom!"
He fell directly onto the soft grass.
Looking at the greenery all around, and the chirping of birds in my ears, there are no ants bigger than my head and no insects taller than a human being. Everything in front of me is so normal, the flowers, plants and trees are all very similar. The appearance of the human world.
Before he could react, another person fell down and fell solidly on top of him.
It's Du Furong.
"You, why are you down too?"
"Wow...where is this place? Am I dead?"
Before Du Furong could react from her near-death panic, she was attracted by the peaceful scene in front of her.
The fourth senior brother couldn't figure it out for a while, but subconsciously he realized that there must be a reason for Jiang Lai to lift him down, and the reason was just like this. She knew there was a cave under the quicksand.
"Don't worry, we're not dead."
There was still sand in his mouth. How could he feel like he was dead with such a real feeling?
But what about Jiang Lai?
"Didn't Jiang Lai come down with you?"
"She pulled me to dance together... Could it be that she already knew that we wouldn't die even if we jumped, right?"
The fourth senior brother nodded.
"Most of the time you still have some brains and are smarter than that Zhang Qingqing."
Du Furong didn't care about this, she just wanted to know where her senior brother was.
"Wow, look over there, there's such a big fruit tree."
They both looked over and were shocked by the orange trees behind them.
The mountains and plains are endless, like a painting dotted on the earth, the warm orange color is unreal.
Every tree grows extraordinarily tall. If you look up, you can't even see the top of the treetops that are almost falling to the ground due to the weight of the oranges.
After seeing too many weird things, you don’t think there is anything strange about an orange tree more than ten meters high.
The two walked over to take a look, and the fourth senior brother picked one off and put it in his mouth.
"So sweet."
Really sweet.
The throat that had been hoarse by the wind and sand before was moisturized.
"Jiang Lai?!"
Du Furong suddenly saw Jiang Lai walking in the fruit trees in front of him, and quickly caught up with him.
"Jiang Lai!"
Jiang Lai turned around and saw the calm expressions on their faces.
"Are the oranges delicious?"
The fourth senior brother nodded repeatedly.
"tasty."
"Before you eat it, have you ever thought about who owns this orange?"
"No."
It's such a big area. If the owner has planted so many, he will definitely not be able to eat them all, and there are one or two missing ones that he won't be able to find.
"Forget it, let's go. Now that you're in, let's help find a way out."
The fourth senior brother turned around and pointed disapprovingly.
"Isn't it at the back? That's where we came from...Hey, wasn't that place empty just now?"
Du Furong was also confused.
"Yeah, why is there an extra orange tree?"
They looked at Jiang Lai.
"what happened?"
"I just said, you have to pay the price for eating other people's oranges. No, they have trapped you in it. Find a way to get out."
Jiang Lai was also very handy, so he picked one as soon as he came in. When he turned around after eating, he found that he was surrounded by orange trees.
Fortunately, she had pudding, and the little one was leading the way with a bump in front. Jiang Lai was also leisurely, peeling the oranges in his hands while strolling, and stuffing them into his mouth one after another.
Du Furong followed behind and asked.
"What the hell is this place? Why did you bring us here?"
"Try it. Anyway, you will die sooner or later if you stay in the desert. It's better to just jump down and try it."
Du Furong opened her eyes wide.
"So you didn't know in advance that there was a cave under the quicksand?"
"I do not know."
"Then you... Then you bring me down!"
Jiang Lai smiled.
"We are all dead. Do you think you can go back? Didn't you tell me to take you with me wherever I go? Don't worry, I won't break my promise."
"..."
thank you.
Du Furong silently glanced at Jiang Lai, feeling more and more that she might be a lunatic and didn't know what fear was.
At this time, Pudding turned around and called out to Jiang Lai, then nuzzled an orange tree in front of him with his nose.
When I got closer, I saw a black cloth hanging on the branch. It should have been hung by the senior brother.
"Let's go and find Senior Brother."
Pudding let out a "woof" and ran away. Jiang Lai chased after him. After passing through fruit trees, he saw a black cloth strip on one of the trees.
This time there was writing on the strip.
"I'm going to find my second junior brother. Junior sister, please take care of yourself."
It seems that the senior brother also knew that Jiang Lai would come down sooner or later, so he marked it in the forest in advance.
Jiang Lai raised his head and looked at the sun above his head. It was almost setting in the west.
"Hurry up, the sun is going down."
"Just go down the mountain. We still have plenty of time."
As he spoke, the fourth senior brother threw the orange in his hand again, and suddenly he found something was wrong with the orange. He looked carefully and couldn't help but said to himself curiously.
"Why did this orange peel dry out so quickly?"
It was just picked. It looks like it took a long time to pick it.
"If you can't leave, you'll have to die here. Hurry, time here moves faster than time outside."
One day outside may be ten days here.
In other words, if they cannot get out of this secret realm before dark, they will not be able to complete the trial within the specified time. If they miss the opening of the trial door, they will have to stay here for another year.
The fourth brother also realized that something was wrong here. Sure enough, the calmer and more peaceful the place, the more dangerous it is. If time really flows faster here than outside, then they must leave quickly to leave enough time for their return trip to the Trial Gate. .
Soon Pudding stood under an orange tree and barked "woof" at Jiang Lai twice.
There are traces of a fight on this tree. Looking at the traces left behind, there are the sword marks of the senior brother.
There is another sentence under the trunk.
"Throw yourself into death and live again."
At this time, Jiang Lai silently raised his head and looked at the sky.
The fourth senior brother saw this and said in confusion.
"What are you looking at? There is nothing else in the sky besides the sun... What the hell is that?!"
Right above the orange tree, there is an upside-down courtyard. Looking from the bottom up, the courtyard looks like a reflection floating in the water, so real and yet so ethereal. If you don't stand here and raise your head, what will happen to this courtyard? You will never find out in your life that you have a yard above your head.
"How to get up here?"
"Climb up."
"climb?"
As he spoke, Jiang Lai had quickly climbed to the top of the orange tree. The orange trees here were tall and thin, very different from ordinary orange trees.
Jiang Lai had already climbed up and was standing on the trembling tree trunk. When the wind blew, both the man and the tree were swaying, which was frightening to watch.
The fourth senior brother was about to ask Jiang Lai what he was going to do. The next second, Jiang Lai jumped up from the treetop!
