15. The place of confinement

The unhurried droplets of water dripped on Qiao Mengchen's forehead, waking him up. www.biquge.info he barely opened his eyelids, and his head was dizzy and only felt like the world was spinning. Before he could fully stand on his feet, one stumbled and fell. This time, I don't know how long it took for him to wake up again.

Qiao Mengchen habitually rubbed his eyes, examining the unfamiliar environment in front of him.

Now, he lay beneath a dripping rock, with a babbling stream flowing in front of him, and the sun shining high in the sky. It's a strange place, with unusual purple and light purple plants growing in sight, and in the midst of it, birds are singing and small beasts are lingering.

When the eyeballs are fully accustomed to this place, the joy of escaping is crushed by a new round of worry: high in the sky, the blue clouds are white, and the wind blows. Surrounded by cliffs more than a thousand feet high, he was like a frog at the bottom of a well, looking empty and happy but unable to get out, although the mouth of the well was large enough, but only to sit in the well and watch the sky.

He was reluctant and circled the sinkhole, hoping to find the surprise. However, the reality is cruel and there is no way to climb it at all. Here, apart from the bushes, there is only a small pool full of clear water, and it is impossible to find a shortcut out of the deep sinkhole.

The inevitable disappointment and frustration struck again, like a super takedown, and he lost consciousness for the third time.

The sky was getting darker, and there was more and more purple gas in the giant pit, which accumulated as thick as the haze of the city, so that it directly woke up Qiao Mengchen. He coughed violently, but his chest felt as if it was being pressed against a boulder, and he couldn't breathe freely.

Could it be that purple gas is highly toxic?!

Frightened by this thought, he immediately got up from the ground, like a headless fly, screaming wildly and running around in the thick purple air. Lost his head, of course, the end was not much better, he fell out without running two steps, and his face and hands were hung with thorns and holes of different lengths.

Running for his life was so important that he couldn't think much about it. In this way, the garlic was mixed under his feet, and a heel bucket was successfully planted, and the light source stone rolled out of the pocket, and the white light penetrated the purple fog and illuminated the scenery everywhere. Qiao Mengchen was overjoyed, grabbed the life-saving straw-like light source stone, and ran wildly in the purple qi.

It's a funny scene! In this unknown pit on this unknown planet, a young man with a bloody face is running wildly, trying to avoid the unknown catastrophe that the unknown gas may bring!

If you want to avoid the ubiquitous purple qi, it's basically impossible!

Qiao Mengchen just ran subconsciously, he didn't want to sit still, and he didn't know how long he could last. This time, Sasuke, who has the light source stone, can clearly identify the direction, but he can't run anymore no matter how he grits his teeth. Because, the chest cavity has been filled with inhaled air, and blood foams are spraying from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and it seems that waiting for him is a dead end!

The small puddle flashed in the corner of his eye, Qiao Mengchen's head buzzed and fell straight down, his left hand was still a foot away from the gentle blue water.

…………

Woohoo...... The long howl that tore through the sky reverberated in the sky.

When it rains, the water droplets fall and fall, and the earth stirs up a little dust to generously return the gift of heaven, bringing some life to this vast wild frontier. The arrival of the sky visitor also aroused the envy of the blue water in the small pool, and with the help of the rain, some water droplets jumped to the shore, including Qiao Mengchen's corpse.

The rain stopped and it was dark, the purple qi dissipated, and Qiao Mengchen maintained the posture he had when he fell to the ground, motionless, and his whole body was cold.

The morning dawn came, the golden crow rose in the east, and Qiao Mengchen did not move.

Endless dark night, bleak and desolate, Qiao Mengchen was unconscious.

At noon on the third day, on the shore of the small pond, more than a dozen gray hare grasses ate salty and gathered here to drink water to relieve their greasyness. In the middle of the moment, the rabbit king led by him wailed, and his long ears were firmly grasped by a purple-skinned hand, and he could not lead the rabbit rabbit to escape back to the nest.

Qiao Mengchen's body was covered with a layer of soil, shaped like a withered face, his face was haggard, and the dried blood was spread on his face and neck, only his eyes were as bright as torches. With a successful blow, he staggered to his feet with the hare, looking around for tools for life and cooking.

Count this rabbit unlucky! No kidding, from the moment he fell, he had not eaten a drop of water for three days and two nights, and his instinct to survive made him not let go of any food he could get.

After the rabbit was skinned and washed, he used his glasses to gather light on the fire, smeared the rabbit meat with roe thatch, wild flax and other stirred juices, and set it on the fire and began to roast it. As a good cook, he knows that the leaves and stems of some salt-loving plants are naturally seasonable, and it is not challenging to use them to avoid the appearance of roast rabbit meat with low salt and low flavor when there is no choice.

Swallowing half a roast rabbit, he managed to stop his trembling body, and reclined down contentedly, thinking that if he had another glass of juice, it would be more complete. After eating, he felt that his chin was extremely itchy, and he couldn't help but scratch a few handfuls, but he felt that the more he scratched, the more wrong it became:

The stubble has grown long, as if broken skin is attached to it; The burned part of the face was still hanging a larger, soft thing......

Qiao Mengchen didn't dare to delay, and groped all over his body for a while, before he realized that he couldn't find anything in the mirror here. He hesitated for a moment, and hurried to the edge of the waterhole.

There is a sharp brother in the water of the pool that is as horizontal as a mirror, and the appearance of unkempt hair and long hair on the tip of the mouth is really not the style of Qiao Mengchen, who has always been neat. Qiao Mengchen was stunned, and the unprecedented sense of loss choked him to tears. From childhood to adulthood, no matter how difficult the world is and how unpredictable people's hearts are, he never goes to his heart. It's just that this situation made him feel too big a gap in his heart, so he couldn't control it.

There seems to be good news as well—it is clear through the water mirror that what is hanging is the old skin of the burned area, replaced by new skin like a snake's molt. From the look and feel, he was sure that the new skin that grew out was free of potholes. If so, will that ugly face slowly disappear? What is the reason for natural molting? Is it the alien environment, the food, and the water quality, or the black scale dragon's divine dragon breath, or maybe the purple qi contains some element that is suitable for skin metabolism? Qiao Mengchen looked down at the reflection in the water and thought hard, but he couldn't figure out what to do.

I was sighing for a long time, and suddenly I saw a breeze blowing, a little bit of broken gold, and there were faintly kelp-like aquatic plants drifting in the depths of the waterhole. Unconsciously, in this damn unknown desolate pit, the original scene of birds singing and beasts became silent.

"What's going on?" Qiao Mengchen felt a chill rush to the back of his head, and he also felt that something was not quite right: in this small freshwater pond, such a thick kelp would grow? Just now, he clearly saw a sharp light flashing on the fluttering "kelp"! If you look closely, the water in the pond boils violently like boiling water, and in the rippling water waves, the "kelp" suddenly opens its teeth and claws, as if it is about to become a sperm.

Stop, don't you know if you can't become a fine after the founding of the People's Republic of China?

Qiao Mengchen was so frightened that he leaned back, his body instinctively rose more than one person high, and fell far away, and came a sturdy butt pier.

This time, he was stupid by himself, why did his physical fitness suddenly improve so high? Qingluan eggs, herbal soup, and hare meat all emerged from his brain one by one.

Just when he caught the hare just now, Qiao Mengchen felt that he was quick and ruthless, and he didn't give the grass a chance and time to escape for his life. Besides, how is the "water mirror", the effect is definitely not as good as the real mirror, but he can see the changes in his skin from it, so ...... His eyesight has also improved by leaps and bounds, even more than before the injury?

Without thinking much about it, he stood up with his aching buttocks, holding a short blade across his chest, beware of the unknown "kelp" from burrowing out of the water and killing him. I waited for a long time until the water in the pool gradually subsided, but I couldn't wait for the danger to happen.

He tiptoed back to the pool, which was quiet and deep, and in the shallow water under the shade of the trees opposite, there were a few peaceful and quiet swimming fish. Swimming fish of different colors and sizes, feeding and playing on their own, as if the water was tumbling just now, did not happen.

Still lonely and helpless, Qiao Mengchen became more and more convinced that his eyes did not see the flowers, and there was indeed something abnormal in the water, but all this came too quickly, and he didn't have time to see the clues.

He once again lay down to examine the surface of the water, and felt that the water in this small pool was unfathomable, and the streams flowing from the surrounding cliffs all converged here, but they could not fill the pool, indicating that this pool must be connected to the outside world, but he did not know where the water would flow.

Tired of thinking, he lowered his head and sipped the pool of water. In the middle of the pool, there are white clouds passing by, and the sky is desperately blue. By the way, on the way to Yashan Mountain, where are the flying beasts and demon birds that cover the sky and the sun in the sky? Why can't you see any of them? Could it be that this deep pit is not near the tomb of Uncle Yu, and how did he leave this vast and desolate Yaoshan area?

Poor Qiao Mengchen was like a wingless frog at the bottom of a well, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds above, and his heart was full of frustration.

He was a little sleepy, and just as he was trying to hold his eyelids and prepare to chop some branches and leaves to make a bed, he caught a glimpse of the purple qi that had puzzled him a few days ago, and it began to slowly generate again.

Yes, you read that right.

This time, however, he discovered the source of the purple gas: in the middle of the pool, at first only a wisp of purple gas rose from the bottom of the water, like a white, colorless vapor emitted from a hot spring. Then, countless bubbles, large and small, floated up, bringing more wisps of purple gas. After occupying the entire waterhole, the purple qi gradually took shape and accumulated thicker, and then expanded outwards with impunity until it covered the inside of the deep pit.

Qiao Mengchen secretly screamed that it was not good, he didn't want to suffer again, so he turned his head and fled, trying to find a low cliff to climb up, and temporarily avoid the harm of purple qi on his body.

In a panic, he really found a life-saving straw. A crooked-necked purple pine grows obliquely on the stone wall in front of it, the place where the purple pine is located is not very high, and the roots of the tree are only five or six meters above the ground.
