"It's not the ground. Catherine replied, "It seems like a single-plank bridge under my feet." ”

Surprised by the abyss, the Ice Bear wrapped the chain around the bridge and climbed down the edge. Sure enough, most of his body climbed down and stepped on the real thing, and when he looked down, he saw another single-plank bridge under his feet.

When the Ice Bear Abyss untied the chains that were wrapped around the bridge above, the bridge vanished in an instant. The two reached out to touch it, but nothing touched. The Ice Bear Abyss also tried to throw the soul chain upward, but the chain fell directly, proving that the single-plank bridge above was indeed missing.

However, this place that looks like it is in the mezzanine is very strange, but it didn't surprise the two of them too much.

After walking some distance on the new bridge, Catherine asked, "Do you think there will be another bridge under this bridge?"

"I'll try it this time. "The Ice Bear Abyss volunteered. He wrapped the chains around his waist, wrapped them around the bridge, and then climbed the edge of the bridge to test downward.

"Really. The Ice Bear Abyss came down to his chest and stopped, "I stepped underneath." ”

Catherine did the same, and climbed down the edge of the bridge. When the two of them untied the chains again, the single-plank bridge above them disappeared again.

"I always felt that something was wrong, as if I hadn't grasped the key. The Ice Bear Abyss looked up, though it was pitch black and there was nothing.

Catherine was also thoughtful, but she proposed, "Let's see if there's another floor." ”

The two collaborated for the third time, and sure enough, they climbed down another floor. But when the Ice Bear Abyss was about to undo the chains above, Catherine stopped him. "Tethered here, let's keep trying. ”

"Good idea. Ice Bear Abyss praised.

The Ice Bear Abyss grabbed the soul chain and slowly lowered Catherine down, and unsurprisingly, Catherine stepped on the single-plank bridge below. However, this time the chains bolted to the top were not unfastened, and the two looked up to see that the single-plank bridge above their heads was still there. At this moment, the space suddenly changed.

"Look down. "The Ice Bear Abyss was the first to notice something unusual.

Catherine hurriedly looked down and saw that there were layers of single-plank bridges under her feet. No, Catherine looked to both sides again, and all the single-plank bridges had an end on either side. When she looked up again, layers of single-plank bridges appeared above her.

"We seem to be on a ladder. Catherine looked up and down before speaking.

"It's just a ladder. Ice Bear Abyss nodded and said, "It's a ladder that at least means that it leads to a certain place, and it's better than walking aimlessly." ”

The two continued to climb down, chaining each floor. The layers of single-plank bridges gradually narrowed, indicating that there was indeed a way to somewhere.

I don't know how long I climbed down, and the endless single-plank bridge became only a few meters wide.

"Looks like we're going to the end. The Ice Bear Abyss said as he chained it again.

At the feet of the two, only the last single-plank bridge remained, and there was nothing under the last single-plank bridge. The Ice Bear Abyss tried to climb down the last deck of the bridge, stepping on the ground as flat as the ground. But he looked down a few times and saw nothing.

Catherine also went down to the invisible ground, and it felt really good to be down-to-earth.

Because they couldn't see anything, the two of them didn't dare to move around at will, so they tied their waists with chains and walked slowly one after the other. After walking a few steps, "Boom ......", the soul chains that were originally tied to each layer of single-plank bridges fell from the sky, and no new chains fell until a mountain of chains dozens of meters high was piled up.

Catherine looked at the hill of chains, and it was hard to imagine how many levels of single-plank bridge the two had climbed. Resuming her mind, Catherine withdrew the soul chain into her chest, but one end of the soul chain still led to the ultimate realm. Only then did the Ultimate Realm become far away from them, and it looked like a palm-sized patch on a black curtain.

"Take a walk to the Ultimate Realm. Catherine said, tugging at her chains.

Although there is a goal, it is never reached. After walking for a long time, the bright spots on the black curtain are still the size of a palm. "We don't seem to have found the trick. When the two stopped to rest, Catherine said.

"If you don't try it in a different direction, it's the same as on a single-plank bridge. "The Ice Bear Abyss has also discovered something unusual.

So the two of them walked in a different direction at random, and after walking for a while, they found that the bright spots seemed to be getting smaller. Changing directions again, the bright spots are still getting smaller. After Catherine and the Ice Bear Abyss tried it a few times, they were almost certain that they would move away from the bright spot as long as they didn't go in the direction of the bright spot.

"There seem to be only two directions here. Catherine concluded, "Towards the Ultimate Realm is one direction, and the rest is far away. ”

"Once you get away, you can't get any closer. Ice Bear Abyss added. At this moment, the bright spot representing the ultimate domain is significantly smaller than the palm, and even if the two continue to walk in the direction of the bright spot, the size of the bright spot has not changed again.

The Ice Bear Abyss reached out and took out the chess piece of life from behind his back. "I'll try it and see if I can make this place take shape. After saying that, he stared at the chessboard in his hand, and the colorful chess pieces on the board began to move quickly, and all kinds of strange shapes were built, and then collapsed and restarted.

After half an hour, the movement on the chess piece of life finally calmed down, and a sphere appeared.

"That's it. The Ice Bear Abyss held the chessboard in front of Catherine, "This is probably where we are. ”

Catherine looked at the strange sphere of chess pieces, the tip of which was in the shape of a small slap, which must represent the ultimate realm.

"If the Ultimate Realm is here, then we will be further and further away from it as long as we don't go in its direction. With the words of the Ice Bear Abyss, seven or eight different chess pieces moved from the top of the sphere in the direction of the sphere, all of them moving away from the Ultimate Realm.

"Then why can't we get close?" asked Catherine.

"Look at this red one. The Ice Bear Abyss pointed to a chess piece not far from the Ultimate Realm. The direction it travels is to move around the Ultimate Domain, moving in circles and circles, no matter how many circles it has circled and the distance from the Ultimate Domain remains the same.

Catherine stared at the red chess pieces for a long time. "We've tried all directions, and there doesn't seem to be one that can get close to the Ultimate Realm. ”

"There must be, but we didn't find it. The reason why it was difficult to find directions here was because it was pitch black all around, and we couldn't locate the route we were taking except for the Ultimate Realm. Ice Bear Abyss simply sat down cross-legged, "Now that we know this terrain, we should be able to find a way." ”

Catherine nodded, sat down across from the Ice Bear Abyss, and thought together.
