Chapter 337: The Underworld and the Boy Three Years Ago
Two days later, in the early morning, the group packed up the things they had found from the hotel, refilled them with food and water and continued to walk towards the next tree on the Sakurama obsidian map.
"Gao Zhi, pay attention to your surroundings along the road, it is unlikely that Zeng Ibu and Hignis will leave like this. "Mu Fengye has been guarding against their attack since the night two days ago, and now the situation is clear, everyone wants to kill everyone except themselves until the number of survivors becomes five, so that they can return to the present world safely.
"They don't have guns and geographies, and they can't win against us if they fight head-to-head. ”
"That being said, we still have to be vigilant to avoid the appearance of the wounded. Sakuruma also agreed with Mu Fengye's idea, since they left, the surrounding terrain has not changed, and those two people may have been staring at them fiercely, after all, if they can kill this small team, they can directly reduce the number of people in the other world by one-third.
Three hours later, it was ten o'clock in the morning.
Mu Fengye's team arrived at the nearby Heavenly Tree, and as usual, there were no new discoveries here.
"Is it another trip for nothing......" Gao Zhi sat under the tree, unscrewed the lid of the kettle and took a sip of water, the weather in the other world was getting hotter and hotter, and it seemed to have a feeling of approaching Futian, "Mu Feng, what should I do next?" We have already confirmed here, according to Sakurama's previous calculations, it seems that we have not found anything connected to the gods. ”
Mu Fengye didn't answer in a hurry, but raised his head and looked at the top of the Heavenly Tree.
"What are you thinking?" Sakuruma seemed to have an idea, trying to exchange ideas with Mu Fengye.
"I'd like to go up above the tree dome, and I don't think we can just search for the forest below. ”
"As I thought, let's go up now, it will take a while to climb the Heavenly Tree. Sakuruma nodded, calling on the others to climb the spiral pattern of the Heavenly Tree together.
After more than ten minutes, the team has left the ground at a height of about fifty meters, but the more they climb, the more unbearable the heat becomes, and when the mouth is dry, Gao Zhi's two pots of water have been separated, and this weather makes people have to replenish water all the time, otherwise once they are dehydrated, they will not be saved here.
"Ah~ The sky is spinning......" Silina grabbed Mu Fengye's shoulder in a daze, and almost fell off the heavenly tree.
"I feel it too. Mu Fengye shook his head, and what followed was not a feeling of dizziness, but a real shock!
"What's going on?!" Gao Zhi hurriedly leaned back and hugged the Heavenly Tree, his heart pounding.
That's right, everyone had a hunch, it was the Sky Tree shaking!
"Everyone be careful, there is a change in the terrain nearby, don't be thrown off the tree!" Sakuruma looked at a large cloud of dust rising in the distance, and estimated that the surface of the other world had changed again, this change was amazing, but it happened at this time, there was no place on the heavenly tree to stand firm, and it was easy to fall.
"Boom-"
Suddenly, a huge ravine cracked under the Heavenly Tree, and the ravine was like an abyss, as if it had torn the whole world in half!
"Boom!" The violent vibration came again, and Chigusa's feet slipped, and the whole person slid down the spiral pattern!
"Chigusa!" Mu Fengye stretched out his hand to pull her up, but the tilt of the heavenly tree was not enough for him to make too much movement, so he could only watch Chikusa fall towards the rift, "You must catch up with ......"
Black crystals condensed from mid-air, enveloping Chigusa as she was about to fall to the ground, protecting her into the rift and not moving.
"Is she alright?" asked Sirina.
"It's okay, I'll see if I can lift her up from underneath. Mu Fengye's spirit was tense, it was a little difficult to do such a thing in this situation, and with all his attention, even he himself might fall from it.
"Mu Feng, look over there!" Sigong pulled Mu Fengye's sleeve and pointed to the sky above his head and said, "A few silver threads over there have been broken, and the passage connecting the tree dome has been closed. ”
"Silver line?" Mu Fengye squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see the "silver line" in Sigong's mouth.
"Probably because of the power of the Godhead of Yucuris, the four houses can see things that we can't see in this world. Sakuruma explained, she frowned and glanced at the sky, "Now that the passage connecting the tree dome has been closed, we can't stay here any longer, Mu Feng, can you transport us all down?"
"I'll give it a try, there's no other option now. "The Celestial Tree has been uprooted, and the terrain change this time is very special, and the Celestial Tree can no longer survive under the devastation of the environment.
"The Tree will fall, and it looks like we're going to have to go down that rift. Sakuruma calculated where the tree had fallen, just sealing off where they had landed, so they would be forced to fall into the rift.
"There's no time, jump down, I'll catch everyone down there with obsidian!"
After two years of getting along, everyone trusted each other, no one cared about anything anymore, and immediately jumped down from the tree after hearing Mu Fengye's order, and the air flow brought by the free fall cut every part of the body, and before it was about to fall to the ground, an invisible thing seemed to make a buffer under the body, and everyone fell into the rift valley safely.
"Eh, why did you come down too?" Chigusa seemed to be still looking for a way out of here, but hurried over when she saw that the others had also fallen.
"Are you okay, are you hurt?" asked Mu Fengye as she looked at Chigusa's body.
"Well, thank you, if you hadn't saved me, I would have broken to pieces just now. Chigusa bit her lip and looked at Mu Fengye, her cheeks suddenly turned red, and she immediately changed the topic, "But this place doesn't look like it was formed today, the ground here is very solid, and these deposited rocks and soil seem to have existed here for a long time." ”
"That's true. Sakuruma looked back and forth, and found that the rift that appeared here was not as narrow as expected, and the two sides were connected, like an underground palace, "This place is very wide, and it may have been formed a long time ago, and it was only when the surface of the earth changed that this place was exposed." ”
"Ahh
The screams of the fourth palace resounded through the ground, and Mu Fengye subconsciously spread around her with obsidian in case she was accidental.
But this was not the case, there was no one else underground but them, and the screams of the four palaces came from a long-decomposed corpse, which had been behind her until she turned around.
"Human bones?" Mu Fengye hurried over, looking at the complete clothes on the man's body in amazement.
"That backpack ......" Sakuruma's gaze fell on the backpack that had been swallowed by time next to the corpse, the pure black backpack seemed to reveal the owner's information, she pulled over the backpack that was already a little petrified, and pulled the zipper hard, judging from the time, this person should be the last group of humans to come here, that is, the person who started the game with Sakurama.
"Did you find anything?"
Sakurama retrieved some rotting bone-only food and a stainless steel kettle from her backpack, but it was hard to determine the person's identity.
"Wait. Sakuruma suddenly caught a glimpse of some exposed threads on the corpse's clothes, and following those threads, she found a name embroidered on the inside of the garment with red threads, but some of the threads had fallen off, and she could only vaguely make out a surname, "Takaji......"
After about a few seconds, Sakuruma retreated like a thunderbolt from the blue, and she nearly fell.
Everyone had never seen Sakuruma like this, and they all stepped forward to hug her swaying.
"What's wrong? Someone you know?"
"Eagle Division Shizuna, the first boy who climbed the Heavenly Tree three years ago and never came back. The expression on Sakurama's face suddenly froze, and she wondered, "But why did he appear here...... Isn't the Tree Dome another world?"
"Is that him? Mu Fengye had heard this name, but he didn't leave a deep impression, and it wasn't until Sakurama said it just now that he suddenly remembered, "At that time, Sakura, you didn't know that there was another world above the Heavenly Tree, right?"
"Well, because everyone thought he had died on the tree at the time, no one tried to climb it, and even later did not dare to approach it at all. Sakuruma recalled her previous memories, and she couldn't believe that a person who had died on the tree would be here!
"Think about it slowly on the way, the Sky Tree is about to fall, the rest of the clods of dirt will block the exit here, the air here is circulating, we have to go that way. Mu Fengye looked up, the collapse of the Heavenly Tree had brought up a large amount of dust, and he couldn't transport so many people up with his strength, so he could only walk towards another exit.
After the sound of collapse came from behind, their nerves were soothed, although it was very dark here, but the light with blue dragon scales would definitely be able to find a way out, follow the direction of air circulation, and soon reach the exit.
"Sakurama, where are we now?" asked Takashi.
Sakurama stretched out her right hand and touched it in the air, the obsidian map didn't open as scheduled, she thought it was because she didn't concentrate just now, so she tried to click it again, but this time there was no response.
"Damn, this is the out-of-circle area, and our obsidian won't be useful. After a few experiments, Sakuruma was convinced that all of the underground except for the entrance was an area outside the circle where obsidian could not be used!
"It seems that I have to bite the bullet and go. ”
