I loaded the dream game

Xia Zhi didn't care, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Otherwise, if you believe in everything that hasn't been proven, then wouldn't you have to believe that there are also dragons, angels, monsters, fairies, Ultraman, goblins, tentacle monsters, magical girls, and other messy things in this world?

This is a bit too tiring.

After standing there and resting for a while and confirming that there was nothing wrong with her body, Lily breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to move on.

Unlike the previous sections, the final section to the top of the mountain is not open to visitors, and there are no steps for people to walk on. It seems to be made up of piled rocks. Compared to the road, it is more like a rock wall on the mountain, with only some chains that can be used to grab.

Lily took the lead, walked forward and grabbed the chain above, as if she was ready to take advantage of the momentum just now to climb up in one breath.

You can't tell, but she's quite brave sometimes.

The girl hesitated for a moment, turned around and looked at Xia Zhi and said:

"…If I fall, remember to catch me."

"..."

Xia Zhi chose to take back what he had just said... As expected, this was still the Lily who was afraid of walking at night.

"Remember, you must catch me!" the girl reminded again worriedly.

"Don't assume you're going to fall."

"I'm not setting it up, it's just... insurance."

The girl said something stubborn, turned around, grabbed the chain, and climbed up bit by bit on the steep and messy rocks.

It was not until then that Xia Zhi realized a problem... She was wearing a skirt?

After a moment of silence, he pretended not to see anything and quietly turned his eyes away.

"Summer... Summer Solstice..."

However, after waiting for a while, a crying voice came from above my head.

what happened?

Xia Zhi raised his head in confusion, only to see the girl's body pressed tightly against the rock wall, holding the chain tightly, looking at him with tearful eyes, looking pitiful.

"help me……"

"..."

Looking at the girl who was afraid to climb any further after reaching halfway up the mountain, Xia Zhi couldn't help but think of the stupid cat at home who had climbed up the tree and was afraid to climb down.

...No, she is even dumber than that cat. At least the cat climbed up the tree.

"No... It was okay at first, but when I looked down, I realized it was too scary. What if I really fell down?"

The girl said with a trembling voice, seeming to be really scared

"Then don't look down." Xia Zhi expressed his confusion.

"I can't help it! There's someone looking under my skirt."

...She discovered it.

Xia Zhi looked away awkwardly

"Don't look anywhere else, come and save me!!"

Between personal privacy and "life", it seems that she chose the latter.

In the end, Xia Zhi brought the girl to the top of the mountain without much effort.

Finally, they came to a relatively flat place. Lily breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to look at the boy, her cheeks flushed slightly.

"……abnormal.

After someone rescues you, the first thing he says is to curse your “savior”. Is that really okay?

Fortunately, Lily didn't say much, as she seemed to know that she was at least half responsible.

"Although you are a pervert, I still want to thank you. Thanks to you for saving me. If I were alone, I would probably be stuck halfway up the mountain and unable to get down. That would be really dangerous."

As soon as she arrived at a safe place, Lily, who had looked pitiful with tears in her eyes just now, quickly recovered her spirit. One cannot help but sigh that the speed at which she switched states was beyond ordinary people.

"So... let's just write off the fact that you peeked under my skirt." She turned her eyes away slightly and said with a blushing face.

If you're shy, don't mention it.

After resting for a while, the girl asked Xia Zhi for his schoolbag and took out an assembled telescope from it.

It looked like she was going to use this thing to observe the bridge and wall in the distance.

"All routes to outside of Shikoku have been blocked by Amnesty. I want to investigate whether it is possible to reach the top of the wall directly by hang gliding at this altitude."

Noticing the boy's curious gaze, she explained as she worked on her business.

That's it...

Xia Zhi turned his head and looked at the wall in the distance. At this height, if the wind was 827, it was not impossible to glide to the top of the wall... However, it would require a lot of luck.

"Have you ever learned how to hang-glide?"

"No, but I should be able to learn it quickly, right?" the girl replied.

I seem to be very confident...but why do I feel so unreliable?

On the other side, the girl had assembled the telescope and was about to put it on the edge of the platform when she accidentally slipped.

"Ah!" Feeling the weightlessness sweeping over her body, the girl let out a short cry of surprise.

Fortunately, Xia Zhi grabbed her hand in time, which prevented her from falling down.

"Thank you...thank you."

Lily gasped for a few breaths in shock, looked at him and thanked him.

If the boy hadn't been there, I would have probably really fallen down, right?

"The minister has instructed that I must catch you." Xia Zhi said.

But this is La...

As if she knew that now was not the time to complain, Lily blushed slightly, grabbed the boy's hand, stood up again, turned around and looked at him again.

"Well, I..."

"—"

Just as she opened her mouth slightly and was about to say something, she suddenly noticed something strange.

All the sounds around disappeared at this moment.

She looked around in confusion

The rolling waves in the distance, the floating clouds in the sky, the breeze blowing gently beside you... everything came to an abrupt stop, as if the whole world had stopped.

What is going on? The girl's eyes were filled with confusion.

On the other side, Xia Zhi raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance that was torn apart and blooming with glazed light. He soon realized what had happened.

"Sea of ​​trees..."

.......

Chapter 1153: The girl wants to commit suicide with Xia Zhi? (

Colorful debris like petals were flying in the air, the sky seemed to be torn apart, and colorful colors swept in from afar.

The earth, houses, vehicles, pedestrians, and all the scenery that could be seen were all swallowed up and covered by the colorful light pouring out from the cracks in the distant sky.

what is that?

Lily stared blankly at the gorgeous yet beyond-common-sense scene in front of her, her mind going blank.

However, she didn't have much time to think. The colorful light in the distance was approaching them. The ground under her feet began to tremble. She, who was originally standing on the edge of the cliff, swayed twice.

"Whoa!"

When she came to her senses, she let out a scream and subconsciously hugged the boy tightly.

Colorful light swept across her vision, and when Lily raised her head again, the original city and mountains had disappeared, replaced by a colorful, abnormal space covered by trees and vines, like something out of a fairy tale.

"Where exactly is this place..." Lily blinked blankly.

Compared to the surprised girl, looking at her who was still hugging him tightly as if she had forgotten to let go, Xia Zhi was thinking about another question.

Different from the "Seal" where one cannot move freely without special powers, the principle of the forest barrier is actually more like capture, selecting ordinary people who have no ability to fight external enemies and protecting them, leaving only the heroes who need to fight in the forest barrier.

If any unexpected situation occurs to the heroes, the sacred tree can completely exclude them from the sea of ​​trees and prevent them from entering the battlefield.

So the question is, what was the reason that made the sacred tree...or Cong Yun, bring Lily into the sea of ​​trees?

Xia Zhi thought to himself.

Is it the divine power that remains in her body?

"…Transformed into a sea of ​​trees."

The sound of a girl murmuring came from within his arms.

Looking at this fairytale-like space in front of her, Lily recalled that she had read in a book that this was a special space created by the God Tree for the heroes to fight Batik.

...Could it be that

She seemed to realize something and turned around to look at Xia Zhi, but she found that she was still hugging the boy tightly, and her cheeks turned slightly red.

But when she wanted to let go of the boy's hands, her eyes inadvertently glanced down, but she immediately subconsciously dismissed the idea.

As the space changed, the mountain where they were standing originally had turned into a tall tree. At this moment, they were standing on a thick branch.

Compared with the situation just now, it seems even more dangerous... After all, unlike the mountain, the branches are completely suspended in the air!

"You must not let me go!" Not only that, she also raised her head, looked at Xia Zhi and warned him seriously.

Xia Zhi pulled the corner of his mouth and was about to speak when he heard a loud "boom" in the distance.

At the same time, a thick and tall tree slowly fell down as if it had encountered a huge impact, stirring up dust all over the sky.

"ah!"

As the huge tree fell heavily to the ground, the trees under her feet began to tremble violently. Lily screamed and subconsciously hugged the boy tighter.

"Summer Solstice..."

The girl raised her head, as if she was frightened, and looked at Xia Zhi with tears in her eyes and said

"That landlord will definitely tell my dad... If I die, remember to go back and tell her... I actually lied to her. I didn't fall in love prematurely."

Oh, that’s not right…According to their current situation, if she died, the boy wouldn’t be much better off.

Lily thought about this and showed a disappointed expression on her face: "I didn't expect that the person who died with me in the end was you, whom I only knew for one day?"

Is there anything disappointing about committing suicide with me...Uh, no.

Xia Zhi shook his head and couldn't help but complain: "Don't think about last words at this time."

“What can we do? This is where the heroes fight! We will definitely die if we are affected, right? We are just ordinary people, why... would we come here..." The girl's voice gradually faded away.

"Maybe you are also a hero." Xia Zhi touched her head and said.

"Don't joke around now!"

Lily shook off his hand, looked up and glared at him reproachfully.

Looking at the cute and slightly annoyed look of the girl, Xia Zhi couldn't help but chuckle, hugged her head to his chest again, and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, you will be fine."

"Do you have any basis for this?"

Based on...

"Because I will protect you."

Xia Zhi stroked her head gently and comforted her like he was a child.

"..."

With her cheek pressed tightly against the boy's chest, feeling the warmth and rhythmic heartbeat coming from inside, Lily pursed her lips slightly. She was originally so scared that she was about to collapse, but she miraculously felt relieved.

"Summer Solstice..."

After a long time, the girl's muffled voice came from my arms.

"Ok?"
