Chapter 42: Challenge Yourself

In just eight days, the changes in my body are obvious, I feel that my perception and strength have improved a lot, I don't know what is the mystery of it, at the moment I only care about how to get out of here.

After another five days, I finally succeeded in entering the side hall, and there was indeed a fruit tree in it, but the fruit was golden.

I hesitated for a moment and picked one, I didn't know if the peel could be eaten, and I didn't know if the fruit was poisonous, anyway, I took a bite of it.

It took so much effort to come in, even if it was poisonous, I had to eat it.

I didn't dare to take the second bite right away, if it's really poisonous, it might be less toxic to support one bite, right?

After waiting for a long time, I didn't notice anything abnormal in my body, but I felt comfortable all over, which made me feel relieved.

I ate the golden fruit in my hand in a few bites, but there is no sense of oppression in this side hall, and with the entrance of the fruit, I feel that the whole person is about to float up easily.

I also found the sound of water I heard before, after all, this side hall is not big, there are only five fruit trees, in a circle, and in the middle is the place where the sound of water comes from, a circular fountain.

"The fruit is fine, and the water is certainly fine. I said to myself.

As I spoke, I squatted down, picked up the water with both hands and brought it to my mouth, the water was cold but not irritating, the water was sweet and I felt comfortable when I drank it.

"Wow, this water was also discovered by a certain mountain spring, so it's okay. I said to myself.

Although my need for food and water is not so great now, the water is so delicious that I can't help but take a few more sips, thinking about it, it is not easy to come here, and I also filled the kettle with me.

Originally, I wanted to take the fruit with me, but there was only one fruit on each of the five trees, and when I remembered what I saw in my dream, I still had a trace of awe of this place in my heart, and it would be nice to be able to eat one, so I finally gave up my plan to take the fruit away.

Leaving the side hall, the whole person was refreshed, and the sense of oppression on the platform almost didn't affect me, let alone the five steps.

"Is it the relationship between the water and the fruit?" I thought to myself.

Because I remember very clearly, before I entered the side hall, the platform outside gave me a strong sense of oppression, but now it can hardly affect me.

The awe in my heart grew stronger, and I turned around and bowed deeply to the side hall.

"Let's try you again now. I said as I walked to the main hall.

There are fifteen steps in front of this main hall, and I think I couldn't even cope with the first step at the beginning, although I conquered the side hall, but looking at the steps of the main hall in front of me, I still have no bottom in my heart.

"No matter, try it first. I said and stepped out of my legs.

The sense of oppression, the familiar sense of oppression, but I can't help it anymore, I am happy in my heart, I take another step, continue to go up, and finally successfully reach the tenth layer.

I stopped, because when I arrived here, the feeling of oppression increased significantly, I had some difficulty to step up to the eleventh floor, and I could bear it, the twelfth floor, a little reluctantly, the thirteenth floor was about to be unbearable, and the fourteenth floor, I couldn't stand upright.

The fifteenth layer directly pressed me out of breath and couldn't move.

I hurriedly squirmed on the ground and retreated towards the fourteenth floor, the physical exertion was huge, and I couldn't stay on the fourteenth floor, so I just lay on the ground and rolled down the steps below.

Finally, I stayed on the eleventh floor, and finally changed, I stood up and looked at the steps in front of me, and my heart was extremely excited.

Because when I was on the fifteenth floor of the stairs, I saw the whole interior of the main hall, the floor tiles were shining, and the furnishings in the hall were luxurious.

A road leads to the end of the hall, and on both sides of the road are placed some objects similar to eight-treasure glass lamps, and in the middle of the end of the hall is a huge chair, on which a person sits, but it is obviously not a real person.

I didn't see the rest, but there was a beam of light shining from above the chair, and it was definitely sunlight, indicating that it was the exit from above.

Five days later, I finally climbed the fifteenth step again, and I was able to stand, though it was still a little difficult, but at least I could move forward.

I was worried that the inside of the hall would be like a platform in front of the side hall, and that it would torture me again, but when my feet landed on the golden tiles, the oppression disappeared.

I hurriedly took two more steps forward, and for a moment my whole body was relaxed, and I was able to see the whole hall clearly.

The thick white stone pillars supported the roof of the temple, but the frescoes on the top of the hall made me a little confused, because the frescoes were not birds and animals, but the vast sky.

I crouched down and looked at the tiles on the ground, which were absolutely golden, and when I looked up, the road to the end of the temple was full of golden tiles.

The floor tiles laid on the other floors are not simple, and the color is warm, like jade.

I didn't dare to stay too long, I walked quickly along the golden floor tiles, I didn't make up my mind about this floor tile, gold is not as valuable as a piece of iron on this island.

Towards the end of the hall, I finally saw the huge chair, which was completely superior to the dragon chair of our ancient emperors.

The one on it is a beautiful woman, although it is a jade carving, but the delicate facial features are a stunning beauty at a glance, and there is a certain crown on her head, which looks like she should be the queen of those stone soldiers.

But I didn't dare to touch it, and I didn't know if there was a mechanism in this place, so I raised my head and looked everywhere for the light in my memory, but the hall was as bright as day, but I couldn't see the light anymore.

When I was really anxious, I raised my hand and glanced at my watch, and it was ten o'clock in the evening, and it turned out to be dark.

"In that case, let's wait until dawn to see. I said to myself.

After saying that, I found a place to sit cross-legged and began to close my eyes and recuperate, and I felt very peaceful in this hall inexplicably.

Maybe the hope of leaving is just around the corner, and it's really too tiring these days, and it didn't take long for me to fall asleep.

In my dream, a beautiful woman smiled at me, and I was about to walk to her when I woke up from the dream.

Raising my hand to look at my watch, it was just half past seven in the morning, and I hurriedly got up and searched for it in the main hall.

Time passed, and finally, a beam of sunlight shone down, but I was wrong in my previous calculation, it was not that there was an exit above the statue of the Queen, but that the light was reflected.

I followed the light source, and it turned out that there was a mirror-like object on the roof of the temple behind the statue of the Queen, but it looked more like a crystal.

It didn't matter, I continued to look for the reflected light, and finally I saw a hole, which was very cleverly placed, right in the sky of the fresco on the top of the temple.

If it weren't for the sun, I wouldn't have seen that this was a hole, and this hole was six or seven meters above the ground, so I quickly removed my backpack and took out the rope.

After a few attempts, the grappling hook landed on the rock wall, and I turned around and bowed deeply to the queen, grabbed the rope and began to climb up.

The cave was very deep, very high, and very straight, and I don't know where it leads, but it definitely leads to freedom, because I can already see the blue of the hole.

I put my hands and feet on the rock wall, put away the rope and began to climb up with all my might, I don't know if everything I managed in the cave is considered cultivation, I just think so.

Anyway, after cultivating, in the unattainable cave of the past, I now climb like walking on the ground, although this cave is vertically like a chimney, and I can only rely on my hands and feet to support the rock wall to go up, but I don't feel the slightest effort.

My eyes are getting more and more dazzling, and I am getting closer and closer to the entrance of the cave, five meters, three meters...

Finally, I came out, and without bothering to observe my surroundings, I first took a deep breath of free air.

When I turned around and looked at the cave again, I couldn't see the entrance to the cave anymore.

"Yay... Strange how did I get out of this?" I muttered to myself.

After saying that, I began to trample around, but it was still the shadow of the cave, and I was full of doubts, so I saw that I was observing where I was.

Looking at the direction of the sun, I thought that I was in the area where we saw those magical beasts, and I didn't know how to run, but I actually ran this way.

Everything I had been through was like a dream in my mind, but now was not the time to think about it, I had to find my way home quickly.
