章 425: Under Control 4

編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Damn it! Indeed, he was trying to trick me!" Gu Xijiu clenched her fist.

"Who tricked you?" Si Chen frowned.

Gu Xijiu let out her anger in the Dark Forest, "That bastard, Celestial Master Zuo!"

Si Chen remained silent.

He looked at her for a while and asked, "How… How did the Celestial Master Zuo trick you?"

Gu Xijiu showed him the compass bird. She asked Si Chen as she pointed at the bird’s eyes, "Is this a compass bird? Is the direction where it is looking at South?"

Si Chen remained silent for a moment and asked, "Why do you think that’s South?"

Gu Xijiu touched the beak and the bird repeated a phrase, "the place where the Phoenix was reborn is my destination."

"This is referring to fire right? Its destination was the direction of the fire element, which means the South?"

Si Chen massaged his brows and said, "Have you heard about ‘The Indus is growing in the Eastern part and there the Phoenix came and was reborn’?"

Gu Xijiu shook her head, but she seemed to have figured out something, "So, which means its eyes were looking at the East!?"

"Exactly!"

Gu Xijiu collapsed to the ground, and Si Chen did the same. However, he was very obsessed with cleanliness. Hence, the soil on the ground was swept away by his sleeve.

Gu Xijiu was idling for a moment. Si Chen did not disturb her as he knew she had been struck by the fact that she took a wrong direction

"Little Cang, you’re such a bastard, why you didn’t remind me? Are you trying to pull my legs?" Gu Xijiu blamed the Firmament Stone.

The Firmament Stone felt wronged, "Master, I've never heard of that poem!"

"Is it possible? Aren't you the ancient search engine?"

"I... I'm not a fan of poems though." Its main interest was about the interesting incidents and people in the world instead of poems or songs. It definitely would not have remembered it.

"I thought you're a civilized gem, sigh!" Gu Xijiu looked down on it.

The Firmament Stone said proudly, "What we can do with those poems and songs? Those are for the poets to show off their literacy..."

Gu Xijiu had the same thought, "Celestial Master Zuo likes acting very much, why would he create such a complicated bird? It would be easier if he just indicated the direction. Why on earth did he program the bird to read poems!? And worse, a lousy poem!"

The Firmament Stone was always standing at her side, "Indeed! It's too lousy! I guess only the scholars know about it!"

Gu Xijiu was communicating with the Firmament Stone via the telepathic technique so nothing could be heard by the rest. Si Chen was sitting beside her and randomly explained, "This poem was created by The Lord, and almost everyone who is literate knows it. Little Xijiu, how could you not know?"

Gu Xijiu was speechless.

Si Chen shook his head as he sighed, "It's so scary to be illiterate. Look at you, you look bright, but I can't believe that you don't know such a simple poem."

Gu Xijiu frowned, "I don't like to memorize quotes from other people!" This was not a revolution where everyone knew about the quotes of Mao Zedong.

Two full days have passed, and she has traveled from the third peak to the fifth peak. Thus, she needed about the same duration to return to the third peak. She would probably manage to escape from the Dark Forest within three days, which means, she still had enough time to escape from this idiotic forest if she obeys the agreed term of eight days.

She took out two fruits from her storage bag and threw one to Si Chen. She began to chew the fruit in her hand as she needed to restore her energy first before starting the next journey.


章 426: This Little Girl Is A Unique One

She took out the mussel and asked, "Since you're so good at drilling holes, do you have any idea how to drill through the ground so that we can travel directly to the first peak?"

The mussel did not answer her question but tried its best to open its shell, and then a kid the size of a thumb came out from the mussel! He drooled as he was looking at the fruit in Gu Xijiu's hand, "Qi Feng fruit! I want to eat!"

Gu Xijiu looked at the green fruit in her hand.

She has heard about the Qifeng fruit; it was a scarce fruit. Although it did not taste nice, eating one was equivalent to giving the consumer one-year's worth of training for wind spiritual power. It was a treasure for the wind spiritual power practitioners.

Gu Xijiu did not know that the fruit she was eating was the one. It seems like the food which Di Fuyi stuffed into her storage bag was very precious.

The kid from the mussel was still waiting as he drooled. Gu Xijiu repeated what she said earlier as she threw the fruit into the air and caught it again, "This is yours if you could do it."

The kid was a bit depressed and finally took the deal, "You give me the fruit then I'll try."

Gu Xijiu was not a cheapskate person; she threw the fruit to the kid. He then lied on the fruit and then finished the fruit without leaving anything behind, not even the seed.

It then enlarged and opened its shells, "Come in, I'll try to bring you out." Gu Xijiu and Si Chen jumped into the mussel, and it closed the shells.

The gigantic mussel was about the size of a small house. However, it was only enough to fit two people inside. Gu Xijiu and Si Chen were sitting very closely in there, and she almost stepped on the tiny kid in the mussel. The kid quickly screamed, "Please sit closer, closer! It's too cramped already; I can't do my work!"

Si Chen hugged Gu Xijiu in his arms, and both of them cramped together, "How about this?"

"Acceptable." The kid blushed as he felt uneasy to watch them, "It will be great if you could be closer."

Gu Xijiu was speechless; she would have to join bodies with Si Chen if they had to sit closer.

The kid has finally begun to use its magic which caused the inner part of the mussel to shake as vigorously as magnitude eight earthquake. Gu Xijiu felt dizzy from the quake and Si Chen left his chin on her shoulder, "So dizzy."

An hour later, the shaking finally stopped, the kid in the mussel was gasping and opened the mussel's shell to sense the surrounding.

"How's it? Which peak are we at?" Gu Xijiu checked with him.

The kid continued to gasp for a short while and transformed its hands into an antenna. His antenna reached out of the shell and then shrunk again. He answered with excitement, "We have moved half a mile! I'll try harder after taking a break..."

Gu Xijiu was mad and speechless. She knew it! The mussel was not reliable! They only managed to travel half a mile after an hour, and it was already so exhausted. How could she rely on it to escape from the Dark Forest? Perhaps, she would need to wait for a decade!

She knocked on the shell and said firmly, "I want to get out from here!" Si Chen shook his head slightly behind Gu Xijiu as he knew they could not find any instant method to escape. Besides that, he could not help her either. However, this little girl was expecting the mussel to help her to escape in a single attempt, that was not a good idea.

Both of them came out from the shell. Gu Xijiu took a look at the surrounding and finally understood why the mussel moved so slowly. It was trying to open a pathway! It was basically creating an underground subway!
