Chapter 239: Loneliness and Wine
After a few minutes of suffering, Miao Jiang's descendants gradually stopped floating from convulsions, and stopped breathing in front of everyone. In the dirty and messy long hair that has not been trimmed for a long time, the hidden elusive eyes, flooded with sorrow and lingering like compassion, everyone surrounded him, quieted, time seemed to freeze.
Suddenly, Qiu Yan felt that everything had stopped, and there was an inexplicable sadness in her heart, as if her chest was blocked by something. He looked at the Miao Jiang people calmly, although he didn't know how he survived here, how he had those weird and weird Gu worms, but he was a life after all, maybe he hadn't even seen the world outside the cave, or maybe he could only be in the dark and damp cave here with those snakes, insects and poisonous ants as companions, through the cracks in the vine forest, to touch a warm and flawed soft light outside the world.
Has he ever imagined that standing in the field, standing beside the green grass, standing under the smoke and clouds, feeling the sun's moisturizing brilliance, tasting the sweetness of the breeze sliding through the corners of his mouth, smelling the refreshing fragrance of wheat, and sucking the beads of sweat across his face?
However, all the cause and effect turned into fragments, discarded in that memory, and sprinkled like a bleak night rain, falling down and disappearing.
Qiu Yan used to think that loneliness is talking to himself, but now he thinks that loneliness is forgetting to talk to himself.
Qiu Yan raised his head to look at the dense vine forest in front of him, and suddenly felt incomparably frightened and desperate. For a moment, I almost wanted to run away from the ground, not caring about anything, fleeing this place. The sunset shone down from one side of the canyon through the cracks in the rock wall, and the surrounding area was foggy, and the water in front of it was steaming, and the splashing water curtain of the waterfall formed a colorful mist over the dense vine forest.
The view is still there.
Xijiang is a person who sees through life and death, although he also has a pity on his face at this time, but he is much calmer than everyone else, but he is seriously injured, and he can't say much, so he said softly. "It was an accident, even if it was sudden, we had to accept it, and I wanted him to lead the way, but alas... I don't know if there are any snakes of the same kind here, so it's not advisable to stay for a long time, so let's go, find a clean place and find a way. ”
Qiu Yan remembered that Xijiang had killed the cockscomb snake just now, and he felt a little more compassion in his heart, and turned his head to look at the snake corpse floating on the water, only to find that the corpse was gone. This snake is said to take revenge for killing the same kind of thing, but it is endless, weird and abnormal, it is indeed dangerous to stay here, thinking of the tragic situation of the descendants of Miao Jiang, I sighed secretly and couldn't stay.
There was nothing to say along the way when he picked up the backpack, Li Mowu was also quiet, there was no usual gossip and chatter, Qiu Yan didn't even know why he was going forward, his mind was blank, if he hadn't found anything unusual at that time, maybe it would have ceased to exist, it was Xiao Li.
One foot deep, one foot shallow, walked forward in a trance for more than ten minutes, but I couldn't find a dry place to rest. Everyone has reached the limit, very tired, running, fighting, climbing holes, death, escape, even the iron man has no strength, and what's worse is that with the increase in temperature, the humidity here has become very large, Li Mowu can't stand this the most, panting, and finally becomes Le Jin helping him.
When Qiu Yan was thinking about whether to bring it up and rest in place, suddenly there was a downward slope in the corpse cave in front of him, and the stream on the ground became very rapid, flowing towards the bottom of the slope, and everyone carefully waded down the stream, only going down to the bottom of the slope, and saw the exit of the corpse cave appear in front of everyone.
The trees outside are sparse, all of them are a black swamp, more than 200 meters, and then slowly begin to thicken, and behind it is a large area of aquatic rainforest soaked in the swamp, all of which are not tall but extremely luxuriant aquatic trees, intertwined and unfathomable.
Everyone looked at each other, and a sense of fate came, it turned out that the exit to the so-called corpse cave was only ten minutes away from everyone's trip, and several people actually chose to stop, if they insisted on walking at that time, the result might be completely different.
A few steps further on, we came to the edge of the swamp, from which the view of the swamp was limited, and not as wide as what we saw at the top of the valley outside. If you weren't walking along the rock wall, you wouldn't know that you were out of the valley, and there was still a dense forest ahead, and it felt like it was just a continuation of the canyon. Of course, there are still differences, the more you walk, the more you feel wrong, the water is getting deeper and deeper, and the sludge in the ground is becoming more and more untenable.
Fortunately, in the shallow part of the swamp, there was a large flat stone, which protruded very abruptly over the swamp and did not flood it. Qiu Yan wondered how there was such a big stone here, carefully waded through the water, climbed up, only to find that this huge stone was carved with complex decorative patterns, and there was a very huge shadow under the water, which seemed to be part of several large statues side by side.
Qiu Yan looked around, and couldn't help but feel a little shocked in his heart, this is simply another world isolated from the world, it is really hard to imagine that the distance of a cave tunnel can hide such a world, it is simply a miracle.
At first glance, Qiu Yan looked at the ancient lines on the stone, and felt very similar to the characters of the seal script, and when he looked closely, he found that it was not the lines of the handwriting, but because this stone was blackened and gray by the wind and rain, and it looked particularly ancient and mysterious.
Qiu Yan was thinking about whether there were other ruins under the swamp if there was a collapsed statue here, but at the same time, he heard Li Mowu greet him and let everyone look at him.
Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see that in the sunset, in the deeper part of the black swamp in front of them, there were dense huge black shadows, which seemed to be calming something, it seemed to be stones, and some were completely underwater. Qiu Yan and Le Jin looked through the binoculars, and were surprised to find that the shadows under the swamp seemed to be all ruins, stretching all the way to the center of the swamp.
"This, this is the Vatican City." Xijiang's trembling Adam's apple rolled quietly.
