Chapter 2, Under the Blue Waves
The boy stood firmly on the round platform. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
With a slight determination in his heart, the young man looked forward again, and found another round platform between the two rows of white bones in front of him. After looking for it like this, I gradually found the pattern. The spacing between the round platforms is basically the same, and when you sweep your eyes, you can always find places that are not quite the same as the water surface on both sides. And as you move forward, the round platform is gradually rising, and it is becoming more and more obvious and easy to find. It's just that at the same time, the area of this round platform is gradually shrinking, and it could have been able to stay on a round platform for a while, but now it can only move forward with both feet alternately, fortunately, the distance between the two round platforms is not very large, for the boy, as long as he walks faster, it is not too unbearable.
The round platform shrank smaller and smaller, gradually shrinking into a cylinder, and with each step the boy took, he had to press the weight of his whole body on the foot where he stayed. As the contact surface became smaller and the soles of the feet became more and more painful, the boy controlled his balance while moving his feet forward rapidly, minimizing the amount of time he spent on each cylinder.
The column in front of him had gradually shrunk to the size of a small wine glass, and the boy gritted his teeth and took another step forward. I don't know if it's a hallucination, but the boy feels that his feet have become more steady. The young man didn't dare to look distractedly, only exploring the gap between the columns, his eyes swept over, and he felt as if he had passed the part of the road where the most white bones had accumulated. With the solid columns under his feet, the boy could already clearly feel that the columns under his feet were really getting bigger, and the white bones on the side of the road had been decreasing. The boy walked slowly along the path of the blue waves under his feet towards the cave that seemed not too far away.
The column at the foot has been restored to a round platform, and the round platform extends into the cave. The sky behind him was not as bright as before, the cave was partially obscured, and the young man's own figure was also partially obscured, and from time to time he had to rely on the reflection of the water surface to judge the next foothold.
And ahead, in the depths of the cave, there seems to be a different place, which may be the end of the road of blue waves!
The boy walked forward with confidence.
However......
The road is broken again......
The light of day could hardly be reflected in the cave, and with the only remaining light, the boy repeatedly scanned the water in front of him, but no matter how hard he tried to distinguish it, he could not find a new round platform at the distance he should have. The round platform under the feet seems to be as big as the one at the beginning of the Blue Wave Road, which can accommodate both feet together, but there is no room to sit down and rest, like the platform that can be moved before.
The young man did not dare to move forward rashly, and squatted on the round platform without giving up and searched for it repeatedly-the round platform under him was also captured in an instant according to the distance and in the dim reflection. But even if I squatted down and searched for a long time on the water, my legs were sore, but I couldn't find a new round platform.
No.
Or not.
Several times the boy couldn't help but want to step forward, but he stopped. Without him, only because of the white bones that had become scarce to the point of disappearing, in front of the pillar that the young man stepped on, there were a few scattered corpses, like the sharp fangs of a giant beast hidden in the water.
The boy sat silently, and the fatigue in his body seemed to raise his head slightly.
The young man knew that if he couldn't find the way forward, once he was exhausted, the white bones in front of him would be his final end.
But the boy stood up suddenly—if the hope of life was only in that filthy world, he would rather die in this cave of clear water!
Looking at the land in the distance, the boy really wished he could put on his wings and fly straight over like a goshawk soaring in the blue sky.
But not to mention the wings, what was left of him except his tattered garment? Even the shepherd's whip, which he usually wore on the belt of his trousers, was lost in the mountains. If the whip is still there, it can at least be used to explore the way.
Pathfinding?
The boy had a flash of inspiration, dug it in his bosom, and found a small half of the leftover dry biscuits—this was the night he fled, and he was hungry. gnawed all the way, and only this little bit was left in front of me.
The boy crouched down, broke a small piece of bread, looked forward, estimated the distance, and threw it towards the place where the round platform was almost present.
The cake landed in about the same place as the boy had prescribed, but instead of stopping, it passed through the water and fell straight down. The boy broke a few more pieces of bread and threw them several more times near the place where the first one had landed, but he did not see any of them stop on the surface of the water, but fell into the water one after another.
Sure enough, there was no new round platform, and the young man smiled bitterly and stopped.
As his feet became numb, the boy stood up and walked back and forth on the front and back rounds.
If walking through this blue wave road is the test of the Demon Palace, if this is really the road to the Demon Palace, then, absolutely, there should definitely be a glimmer of life!
If that's the case......
The boy looked at the mountain, which was wide enough for a child to enter, and at the round platform at his feet, which was just the size of the boy's feet. Considering that the spacing between the round tables is not too wide......
So......
The boy looked to the other side - there must be a reasonable explanation for this!
The boy's gaze swept over the transparent round platform beneath his feet.
Something suddenly caught in my head.
Round table ...... Transparent......
Transparent?
Transparent!
The boy became excited, his foot was slightly off, and he almost slipped into the water.
After calming down, the young man carefully stepped on the last round platform, broke another piece of bread, and threw it a little farther away--overboard......
A little further - overboard......
Further afield......
After a few times, there was a solid stop on the water.
That's a huge, transparent platform!
The boy smiled triumphantly, and threw a few more pieces to determine the final distance, which was about 4 or 5 feet in front of him.
The boy tilted his head and thought about it, maybe a little reluctantly......
The boy stepped back several round platforms, remembered the position of the round platforms in his sight, and with a movement of his steps, he stepped on the dot a little quickly, and ran forward. The left foot stepped heavily on the last round platform, and the right foot struggled forward, and the whole person jumped high over the water.
Fell to the ground.
The place where he landed was surprisingly slippery, and as soon as the boy stepped on it, he fell uncontrollably and heavily, and then felt his body involuntarily slide towards the water behind him.
The young man didn't care about the strange pain in his body, and used his hands and feet at the same time, and struggled to climb forward.
……
The boy got up and looked back at the hazy darkness behind him, feeling a little scared. Fortunately, I didn't jump over directly, otherwise I was afraid that it would be a catastrophe.
And now......
The young man looked ahead, and his heart froze again.
The front is unobstructed - accustomed to the darkness, you can see the bottom of the naturally formed cave in front of you, only the slightly concave cave wall.
In the hazy darkness, there is no way out!
The boy sat down in a daze. Along the way, so many difficulties have been overcome one by one, and there is always a vague glimmer of hope - this is really the road to the Demon Palace.
There are trials and difficulties, but they confirm what is extraordinary here. Every time, I vaguely see life, and every time, I struggle to get through. And now, the merciless rock wall has cut off the boy's path and choked the boy's last thoughts.
The boy has no way out.
The silence of darkness flowed silently, and the memory of the hardships of the journey, the young man's heart burned like a fire.
Who said that no one could set foot in the Demon Palace?!
Since he can cross the river of death, why can't he go to the Demon Palace?!
The boy stood up resolutely and walked forward.
Even if he died, he must touch every inch of this cave wall with his own hands!
The boy took a few steps forward, suddenly fell to the ground, his feet were empty, and he fell suddenly.
