The dawn of dawn dispelled the darkness, and a round of the rising sun rose from the eastern sky, and the sky was filled with a brilliant morning glow.

Ning Tao and Bi Mingzhu's breakfast was still cactus leaves, although it was unpalatable, but there was no other option.

After a night's rest, the wounds on Ning Tao and Bi Mingzhu's feet were scarred, and walking was not so uncomfortable, so after setting off again, the speed of the two was faster than yesterday.

The valley is long and narrow, and the deeper you go, the more plants appear.

At first, Ning Tao and Bi Mingzhu only saw withered yellow weeds on the hillside, and then shrubs appeared, one here, one there, and some even a dozen trees were piled up, forming a small shrub forest.

These trees gave Ning Tao hope, he longed to see a forest, and there were small animals in the forest, rabbits, deer, etc., so that he could survive in the forest with Bi Mingzhu, and then plan the next step.

The forest did not appear, but a dense forest of shrubs, large and small, the large ones were two or three meters high, and the small ones were more than a meter high, and they were covered with red fruits. In the morning light, it hangs like a ruby on the branches.

"What kind of fruit is that?" said Bi Mingzhu excitedly.

Ning Tao recognized it just by looking at it: "That's wolfberry, a nightshade shrub." ”

"Can you eat it?"

Ning Tao said: "This wolfberry is a kind of medicinal herb in my hometown, nourishing yin and yang, and is good for men's kidneys, and people in my hometown love to use it to soak in water and drink." ”

"Then you can eat more. Bi Mingzhu said.

Ning Tao: "......"

When will it be the turn of the god to eat wolfberries to nourish the kidneys?

However, he still ate a lot, not to replenish his kidneys, but to replenish his physical strength.

There were many weeds growing in the wolfberry forest, and he pulled some down.

"Lao Send, what are you pulling grass for?" Bi Mingzhu said curiously.

Ning Tao came over with a large handful of weeds: "You sit down." ”

Bi Mingzhu sat on the grass as she said, and looked at Ning Tao with her eyes, which seemed to be guessing whether Lao Xiang wanted to tell a story, but she didn't say it.

Ning Tao squatted down, took one of Bi Mingzhu's feet, then put the weeds on the soles of his feet, and used the weeds to make a simple rope to reinforce, and in a blink of an eye, he made a simple straw sandal.

Bi Mingzhu understood what Ning Tao was doing, and without waiting for Ning Tao to greet her, she lifted her other leg and handed a dirty jade foot to Ning Tao, waiting for him to make straw sandals for herself.

This posture of one crossed leg made Ning Tao inexplicably moved.

made a pair of straw sandals for Bi Mingzhu, and Ning Tao himself made a pair of straw sandals to wear on his feet, and then continued to walk along the riverbed to the depths of the canyon.

I think back then, I couldn't look down on the lotus silk steps, but now I have been reduced to wearing straw sandals, and there is no one in this gap.

The afternoon sun was strong, and Ning Tao and the blue pearl came to the end of the canyon.

At the end of the canyon stands a large mountain, steep and five or six thousand meters high. Such a big mountain is placed on a sacred mountain, and that is at most a small pebble. But here, it is an insurmountable existence. Without the mana of stepping on the divine clouds, and without flying swords, if you want to turn over with only a pair of legs, the chance of falling to death and being disabled is more than eighty percent.

Until he reached the end of this canyon, Ning Tao did not find water, and the riverbed of the canyon was interrupted at the foot of the mountain. Its source is on a cliff, and judging from the characteristics of the rock face, it is not difficult to see that there was once a waterfall on the rock wall, but now the flow has been broken, and only the rock has been polished very smooth by the water.

Ning Tao came full of hope, but the scene in front of him made him feel disappointed.

There were no forests, no water, and with just a few goji berries and cacti, he and his grievances couldn't last a few days.

I wanted to keep going, but the mountain became an insurmountable obstacle. He and Bi Mingzhu didn't even have a pair of shoes, no water and no food, how could they climb such a steep mountain?

Back then, the Three Realms crossed casually, you could go up to the Sacred Mountain, you could go down to the Yellow Spring, and all the people knelt down to worship wherever you went......

Think about the back of the day.

Now it seems that most of those spells are also programs, right?

It's like a special effect in a movie.

Iron Man never flies, his armor is just a prop.

The Heavenly Sword Dragon Slayer is actually plastic, and it can't kill people at all.

The real world, a reality explains everything.

Bi Mingzhu sat down on the ground and said dejectedly: "Old send, don't ask me to climb this mountain, I can't climb it, and don't climb it and I'll fall to my death." ”

Ning Tao didn't talk to her, he walked towards the cliff under the waterfall.

"Lao Xiang, do you really want to climb?" Bi Mingzhu got up and followed Ning Tao, "Don't go, you will really fall to your death." ”

"There's something there. Ning Tao said, and he also raised his hand to point the direction to Bi Mingzhu.

That place had several rocks that were shed together with a triangular hole in the middle. It looks like rocks that have fallen from a mountain, and then they are held together, and there is a gap between the rocks in the middle, and there is nothing special about it. But Ning Tao found that the sunlight did not refract after it was recruited, it was not an ordinary small hole.

The god of sending children used to find holes with earth-seeking inkstones, but now he uses experience to find holes.

"What's in there?" asked Billy Pearl.

"I don't know, just go and see. Ning Tao said, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.

The two came to the shed, and looked over several half-height rocks piled up at the entrance of the cave, and saw a dark cave, but not a natural cave, the inner walls were inlaid with alloy, but they were painted black, no wonder there was no light refraction.

"Let's go in and have a look. Bi Mingzhu was a little anxious.

Ning Tao thought for a moment: "Mingzhu, we have to make some preparations before we can go in, you go and pick some cactus leaves and wolfberries, I will go pick some firewood, we have to have torches and food to get in, otherwise it will be very dangerous." ”

The two went their separate ways.

Half an hour later, the two met at the entrance of the cave.

Bi Mingzhu picked more than two dozen cactus leaves, but there were no goji berries. There are a lot of wolfberries in the canyon, but she has no pockets on her body, she can't fit them, and it is already her limit to be able to take more than two dozen cactus leaves.

Ning Tao not only broke a large bundle of firewood, but also lit a torch by drilling wood to make fire.

"Lao send, if you want to eat wolfberries, I'll pick them for you when I come back, I can't take them now." Bi Mingzhu also specially explained to Ning Tao.

What do you mean I want to eat goji berries?

Ning Tao was a little speechless in his heart, but he didn't say anything, and led into the cave.

After stepping over the large rocks that have been shed together and entering the mountain, the cave becomes an artificially constructed passage, about three meters high and about three meters wide, and it is a circular passage. Such a passage is certainly not used to run airplanes and cars, but is like a pipe to divert water. Combined with the dried up waterfall outside, this speculation is very likely to be true, but there is no other possibility, such as cable ducts or something.

A thick layer of ash accumulated in the passage, and two lines of deep footprints were left in the place where Ning Tao and Bi Mingzhu walked, which also saved the trouble of leaving marks. If there's nothing in it that doesn't have the value to explore, then they can follow the footprints back to the canyon and continue to be a pair of Adam and Eve eating cacti and goji berries.

The passage was straight at first, and then it became oblique and extended downward, but the slope was not very large, only about 30 degrees, and it was very laborious to go down, but it was definitely laborious to go back.

When he walked about a thousand meters, the torch was extinguished, and Ning Tao took a new torch with the bush firewood on his back, held it in his hand and continued to walk forward.

In this way, after lighting three torches, Ning Tao and Bi Mingzhu walked out of the end of the circular passage. The light of the torches spread out, and a huge tank of water was greeted by a hundred meters high and hundreds of meters wide, as well as huge pumps and pipes for pumping water, as well as ladders for repairs.

The sink and pipes are made of alloy, not rusty, and are well preserved, but the pumps and pipes for pumping water in the sink are not, and they have long since decayed. There was a pile of rust next to the pump and under the pumping pipe, and even that rust was weathered.

Luckily, the ladder was also made of alloy, so it wasn't rusty, just a little weathered. Otherwise, Ning Tao and Bi Mingzhu would not be able to climb up with their bare hands at all.

"Old send, this place is so strange. Bi Mingzhu sighed.

Ning Tao said: "There is a sink, there is a pump to pump water, which means that this place is inhabited, I guess it is very likely to be an underground city, there is a ladder there, let's climb up and have a look." ”

"Hmm. Bi Mingzhu answered.

Ning Tao came to the ladder with a torch, stretched out his hand and pulled, some dust fell from the ladder, but it was quite strong, and there were no signs of slag or shaking that made people afraid to climb.

Then Ning Tao made some preparations, he opened the bundle of firewood on his back, sandwiched the cactus leaves in Bi Mingzhu's hand in the firewood, then retied it with a straw rope, and finally carried the bundle of firewood on his back.

These cactus leaves are not only the food for him and Bi Mingzhu, but also the life of him and Bi Mingzhu, which cannot be left behind.

"Mingzhu, you follow me up and be careful. Ning Tao admonished.

Bi Mingzhu simply leaned over and incensed Ning Tao's cheeks: "You should be careful." ”

Ning Tao's heart was slightly hot, and he had a hunch that the next time he had a full stomach and rested, he would have to tell her a story.

Ning Tao bit the torch in his mouth, then grabbed the ladder and climbed up.

It may seem like a trivial thing to climb a ladder, but it is actually very dangerous. Ordinary people, the 100-meter-high ladder in the real world, straight up and down, how many people dare to climb it? If you don't pay attention, you will fall down and die, and this ladder doesn't know how long it has been built, it's hard to guarantee that it won't be loose or anything.

This is the real situation after the new birth, without those dazzling special effects spells, and without those exaggerated magic weapons, Ning Tao can only use his hands and feet. The danger that can kill ordinary people can also kill him. So he climbed very carefully, but he didn't dare to go too slow, because the torches wouldn't burn all the time.

This fucking real world.

The hundred-meter ladder soon came to an end, Ning Tao climbed up, didn't bother to look at the situation outside the sink, and then turned around and reached out to pull the blue pearl.

Bi Mingzhu also climbed up.

Only then did Ning Tao hold the torch high and walk towards the edge of the sink platform.

When they reached the edge of the sink platform, the firelight emitted out, and a part of the scene in the dark space greeted them, and the two people standing side by side were stunned on the spot.
