Chapter 245: Desperate Situation
Gu Li's voice was not loud, but it immediately attracted everyone's attention, and out of the intuition that had been trained in a dangerous environment for a long time, everyone frowned and looked at the kettle at Gu Li's feet.
Tian Xian carefully picked up the kettle and slowly raised it in front of him, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on the droplets of water that fell out of it.
Everyone's expressions couldn't help but become weird at the same time, if it weren't for Gu Li's sudden discovery, maybe no one would have felt anything abnormal, but if you look closely, this water droplet ...... It does seem to be a lot bigger than usual.
A drop of water in nature will never have too much volume difference, especially this kind of water droplets that slowly condense and drip down somewhere, this common sense is still very clear to everyone.
Tian Xian reached out and took a few drops of water on his fingers, letting the water slowly slide down his fingers, and gradually condensed into water droplets on his fingertips......
"Tick" water droplets slipped down and hit the stones on the ground.
Everyone's faces changed slightly.
With the reference of the fingers, this time I can see more clearly, this drop of water, only a few circles smaller than the fingertips of Tianxian, even if Tianxian is still a child, but this drop of water is obviously too big.
"There's a problem with the water!?" Babarot looked at the kettle in Tian Xian's hand, his face was gloomy and impatient, everyone has repeatedly tested the water here, and proved that it is non-toxic and drinkable, but this strange situation actually appeared in Xianza.
"No!"
Tian Xian said with great certainty, "There is no problem with the water, if it is a toxin." I can still detect it more or less, and since we have been drinking this water for many days, it should not be a problem with the storage of water. ”
"It's not the water?" Barbalote's face turned even more ugly, "If it's not the water, then what's the problem?"
Tian Xian pinched his chin and said slowly: "I don't know if you can understand that natural water droplets should be extremely similar in size, because the natural water density is about the same, and as long as it is not a special place, the gravity is the same." Under the constraints of a series of natural forces. The size of the natural water droplets is almost fixed. ”
Everyone listened inexplicably, but they probably understood that water droplets do not change size inexplicably.
Dipping the water in his hand into his mouth and tasting it carefully, Tian Xian said in a condensed voice: "If there is no problem with the water itself." So...... It's that the surrounding environment has changed. ”
Tianxian's eyes fell on the huge grass and trees around him. "It's been a peaceful few days. Maybe that's not a good thing to do, it's possible that something here has plotted against us, but we don't know it. ”
Everyone's expressions became slightly nervous. Although they have been cautious these days, everyone has to admit that when nothing happens, their hearts are somewhat relaxed, and they are glad that no danger has come.
But is it ...... Is this really just an illusion?
Tian Xian's eyes swept over everyone's faces inquiringly, "Haven't there been any strange things happening in the past few days?" For example, although it seems a little strange, it is not very important, but if you think about it carefully, it can't be explained at all, such as...... This water!"
Everyone frowned and pondered, and began to rummage through their minds about the strange situation of the past few days, and soon had their own answers.
"The water seems to be very clear and somewhat sweet. ”
"The grass and trees are taller and have a lot of sap......"
"The terrain has become more complicated and more difficult to walk......
Everyone talked about what they had discovered, but Tian Xian kept shaking his head in his heart as he listened, these things were not really strange things......
"That straw mat...... It seems to have gotten bigger. Barbarot said suddenly.
Tianxian was stunned for a moment, interrupted the others loudly, and hurriedly asked Barbarot, "What did you just say?"
Babarot's eyes were gloomy, and he said slowly: "I feel that the straw mat that pulled you and Guli seems to have grown a little bigger in the past three days. ”
Tian Xian was stunned, "You...... Are you sure?"
Barbarot thought for a moment, "We can try it now!"
These days, this straw mat is being pulled by Babarot, and he quickly pulls the straw mat over, and Tianxian and Guli sit on it again.
Barbarote looked at Tianxian and Guli on the straw mat, his expression became extremely strange, and he said to everyone: "My feeling seems to be right, at that time, this thing was specially made for the two of them, just enough to accommodate the two of them, but now, you see ......"
Tianxian and Guli sat side by side on the straw mat, Guli almost sat on the edge, and Tianxian's side suddenly had one more person's space!!
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, this straw mat was made by everyone together, and the situation was indeed as Barbarot said.
"What's going on?" Morgan's face was full of confusion and consternation, "In the past three days, unconsciously everything around us has changed, and this straw mat has actually become bigger?"
"The forest has grown taller. Gu Li looked up at the grass and trees that covered the sky and the sun, and muttered.
Everyone frowned deeply and fell into deep confusion, and for a while, this situation that happened quietly around everyone, but no one noticed it, made everyone shudder, and an indescribable sense of depression couldn't help but spread around everyone.
Tianxian looked down at the rough weaving texture on the straw mat, and suddenly said in a very soft voice: "Perhaps...... There is no problem with the water, there is no problem with this straw mat, and there is no change in the surrounding qiē. ”
Everyone was stunned, Morgan's face changed suddenly, and he asked urgently: "You mean, do you ......?"
Tian Xian nodded, looking up at the tall grass and trees, "Maybe we've been slowly shrinking since we started entering this strange place!"
"What?" said Barbarot, startled, "we ...... We've shrunk?"
Zhuoma's face turned slightly pale, quickly looked at his body, and said with some uncertainty: "Boy, aren't you joking, do you?
"It's fine, indeed. But only temporarily, stinky woman, lend me your sword. Tianxian was next to Gu Li, and you were not welcome, Gu Li hadn't answered, Tian Xian had already taken care of the thin sword on her waist.
Gu Li was slightly angry, "What are you doing with my sword?"
Tian Xian knew that since the duel with Zhuoya, Gu Li cherished this broken thin sword very much, which was a kind of nostalgia for Zhuoya, and smiled at the moment. "Will be returned to you soon. ”
said. Tian Xian moved his buttocks, revealing the traces of the long shape on the straw mat.
Tian Xian pressed the sword on the trace, his eyebrows couldn't help but tremble slightly, and said, "After I fell unconscious." Guli has been sitting here taking care of me. Barely moved the position. Right?"
Everyone nodded, and everyone saw this matter very clearly.
Gu Li's face was full of embarrassment, "This ...... I. I'm not reluctant either, because ......"
Tian Xian has continued: "Her sword pressed against the straw mat, leaving this long trace, let's take a look at it now." ”
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at the straw mat at once.
Gu Li was beside Tianxian, looked down, couldn't help but widen his eyes, and exclaimed, "This trace has also become bigger!?"
There was a dent in the straw mat, a dent that far exceeded the length and width of the current sword.
Everyone stared at the dent in amazement, unable to speak for a moment.
Tian Xian said in a deep voice: "It seems that a lot of things around us have been magnified, even the traces we left before, but the water shouldn't be like this, but ......"
Raising his eyes, Tian Xian said in a solemn voice: "If we shrink, this is that everything is explained. ”
Everyone's face was written with consternation.
"This ...... How is this possible, there is no feeling at all, we shrink the words......" Barbarot was shocked, still a little unable to accept Tianxian's speculation.
"It's a bit weird, but I've been in a coma for three days, and when I woke up again, I did have a delusion at first, and the world seemed to be a lot bigger than it was before I passed out......"
Standing up slowly, looking at the dense grass and trees around him, Tian Xian said in a deep voice: "There may not be more evidence to prove this now, but we can continue walking, if my guess is correct, soon more evidence will appear, the dew will become larger, the sand and gravel will become rougher, there will be large clods of dirt, and if we are lucky, we can also see huge bugs...... The next time you find a wild fruit, you may have to carry it on your shoulders to get it back. ”
"Let's rest first, anyway, we're in strange trouble right now!"
Everyone was full of doubts, and they were extra vigilant this night, and the next day they set off immediately after dawn, this time they were already awake, and Gu Li seemed to be much more energetic after a night's rest, and the speed of the procession was significantly accelerated.
This time, everyone carefully paid attention to the various changes around them, and the speculation of Tianxian made everyone extremely shocked and uncomfortable, if they kept getting smaller, then what would they end up like?
However, the further forward you go, the more the situation seems to be tilted towards what you are guessing about.
Those grass and trees became taller and taller unconsciously, and after everyone carefully distinguished, they found that the trees in this tall grass forest seemed to be very similar to a weed in the grassland.
The water droplets continue to get bigger!
After a day of walking, the next morning, everyone saw fist-sized droplets of water on the tip of the blade of grass, and now they could clearly feel the viscosity of the water, which was impossible before!
The ground also became more and more uneven, and even began to become strangely rocky, and the growing clods made it impossible to believe that they were just ordinary clods on the ground.
After three more days of walking, the crowd stopped moving.
The three days were still uneventful, nothing happened, and the surroundings were so quiet and terrible that you couldn't even hear the insects and birds chirping.
It's like an abandoned world.
After many days of exploration, everyone found nothing, there was nothing around, nothing but the tall grass and trees, the strange life that people couldn't understand, the great ruins that should have been left here, and the unknown danger that didn't know when it would appear, all of them didn't exist......
The crowd sat around the fire again, and the bonfire was lit by a few dead branches, very thick. But it is not resistant to burning, and the huge flames that flick on it lick the bottom of the pot.
In this iron pot where everyone unanimously makes zuò hot food, the hot soup is tumbling, exuding a rich aroma, but now no one has the appetite to eat anything, because even in this soup pot, the boiling blisters are surprisingly large.
All the evidence points to one result - Tianxian's guess is right, and everyone has unknowingly shrunk!
Shrinking along with all the items he carried, it was as if he had walked into a swelling place. Ever-getting bigger. There was a fruit beside Guli, it was everyone's dinner today, this fruit was brought back by Barbarot, and he really carried it back. Because these two fruits were normal a few days ago. But now it's about the size of a bucket.
He sat in silence for a long time in front of the fire. After filling the fire three times, Morgan sighed and said, "Okay. It's not a way for us to keep going like this, we should discuss the next countermeasures, and if we continue to go, I'm afraid there will be no results, and we will encounter irresistible dangers at any time. ”
Barbarot's face was gloomy, "What the hell is going on? How did we get smaller? There was no sign of any attack during this time, I think now is not the time to say something discouraged, but we should find out the reason immediately, as long as we break the other party's means, we can naturally regain our freedom." ”
"The question now is how to find the reason. ”
Barbarot glared at Tianxian anxiously: "Little ghost, since you realized this first, can't you think of any way now?"
Tianxian shook his head: "It's a pity, I don't have a clue at all, I don't even know how we got hit, let alone solve the current predicament." ”
"That'...... What if we keep going!?"
Tian Xian shook his head again, "We can't go any further, it's self-destruction, if we don't shrink, then maybe one morning, we will be crushed to death by a drop of dew, when we are shrunk to a certain extent, the current safe environment around us will become a deadly enemy, maybe a gust of wind can tear our bodies apart." ”
Everyone's faces are ugly, and anyone can understand if they are idle.
In the current situation, if this is the enemy's ghost, then this is really a very trouble-free countermeasure, don't pay attention to others at all, as long as the enemy continues to shrink, then it will soon kill itself and die in the environment of this world.
The world is shrinking, the world is becoming more and more dangerous, and there is no way to solve this situation, which fills everyone's hearts with anxiety and uneasiness.
"Let's go back. Morgan finally talked about it, and suddenly seemed to have aged a lot, "Although we came with the belief that we will die, if we know that we will get nothing, hey......"
Morgan's tone was full of sadness and helplessness, "Perhaps, the gods and their guards are resisting us, and they don't want to let us have access to their great power at all. ”
Everyone is also helpless, in this case, I really don't know what to do.
"Perhaps, going back won't help either. Tian Xian still shook his head.
Everyone was slightly stunned, and Morgan asked in a deep voice: "Do you say that it won't help us to turn back?"
"Likely!" Tian Xian cut a large piece of fruit with a knife, and said as he ate: "Although it seems that the situation becomes smaller the further we go, but when Norma left, he clearly told us that he did not mean to let us go, but asked us to repent and leave us here to die, so I think even if we go back, there is a high probability that we will not be able to escape from the current situation." ”
As he spoke, Tian Xian frowned, "Now, I suspect that the group that separated us at the beginning did not find a way back at all, but also encountered the same situation as us, and was trapped in the same place. ”
"Stuck in place?"
"Not bad!" Tian Xian thought and said, "we are not shrinking, although we say that we have been moving, but in fact the speed is constantly decreasing, we have walked back and forth for more than ten days, but in real calculation, maybe not even a day's real journey, and in such a dense forest of grass and trees can not go fast at all! ”
Babarot said: "It's useless to contact those cowards now, I think what we should do now is to take some kind of action immediately, even if we can't find the right way to break through, but we must try!"
"Yes, we don't have time to delay any longer!" Tian Xian completely agreed with Barbarot's words this time, "If this guess is correct and we continue to shrink, then we will soon face unimaginable difficulties, and we must find a way to break through before the surrounding environment forces us to death!"
Morgan said in a deep voice: "I also have a lot of research on illusions and formations with strange effects, but I have never heard of anything like this, and as for the direction of the breakthrough, ......"
Everyone couldn't help but feel powerless when they heard this, if even the well-educated Morgan had no clue, then the others ......
"Actually, I thought of a possible solution. Tian Xian said.
Everyone was taken aback, and Gu Li grabbed Tianxian's arm in surprise, "Little ghost!
Tian Xian's expression was a little solemn, "This is only a temporary assumption, if it is to be realized, some conditions need to be determined, so, I hope you don't rest after eating today, let's go back directly and start to confirm the first condition!"
"Little ghost, tell me all your plans, if it is feasible, we will fully support you!" Morgan now trusts Tianxian very much, and seeing that Tianxian may have a way, his heart can't help but feel a little hot.
"Okay, this plan may be a bit dangerous, but I really can't think of any other way right now!" Tian Xian took a branch and began to scratch something on the ground, "If we're lucky, I think there's a way to get out of here quickly!" (To be continued......)
