Chapter 17: Wonders
"Old man, who are you?" Lu Feng'er asked as she looked at the old man in front of her. Although this old man doesn't seem to have much of a fight, his bearing is quite extraordinary, so he always feels that this old man is not small.
"Hey, it's just a little old man, don't be so polite. The old man waved his hand, "You can call me old man!" The old man should consider that it is inconvenient for Lu Feng'er to call him.
"How can that happen?" Lu Feng'er shook her head again and again.
"You can do what you tell you to do, where is there so much nonsense?" Looking at Lu Feng'er's pinching appearance, the old man seemed to have a little temper, so Lu Feng'er could only smile bitterly and agree.
"If you want to go up and have a look, come with me. After the old man finished telling Lu Feng'er, he left on his own, and Lu Feng'er immediately followed when he saw this.
"Huh, lift?" Lu Feng'er was also stunned by the thing in front of her, "There was such a thing in prehistoric times?"
"You dumbfounded, this was just built now. The old man glanced at Lu Feng'er, which made Lu Feng'er look embarrassed, and the old man didn't care, and took him straight to the elevator and pressed the button neatly.
The sound of the 'squeak, squeak' elevator running was really unpleasant, and the swaying appearance made Lu Feng'er feel uncomfortable, for fear that it would fall.
"Originally, this thing is very convenient to operate, but after all, the temperature here is too low, so there is no way to ask for too much, just don't fall off, which is guaranteed. The old man looked at Lu Feng'er holding the railing and looking out with his eyes hooked, and kindly reminded him.
The elevator rose higher and higher, and it didn't take long for Lu Feng'er to feel a haze in front of her, and a cold and piercing feeling came from her face.
"Now we are in a cloud cover," the old man seems to think of himself as a tour guide, "The temperature here is supposed to be no clouds, but the magic is that even if the water vaporizes into ice crystals, they can still float in the air, and this mass should have fallen to the ground a long time ago, which is one of the big puzzles here." ”
"Then is this a supernatural phenomenon?" Lu Feng'er's heart was hot, after all, the more unscientific this place is, the more it can prove that he is the reincarnation of an ancient power, this is not an ordinary place.
"Paranormal?" the old man nodded affirmatively, "Looks like you're not too stupid." Hearing this, Lu Feng'er couldn't help but roll her eyes at the old man, but she felt powerless to refute what he said.
With a bang, Lu Feng'er and the old man arrived at the top of the Great Wall. It is not possible to see clearly from below, but when you look down from above, you can see that the area that has been developed now has an unobstructed view.
The town at your feet is so tiny that there are three or three huts in it, and the path in the middle winds in all directions. There is an open space in the center, during which there are two huge stone pillars of different lengths, next to which there is an arc-shaped stone broken into two sections. Therefore, Lu Feng'er guessed that this place should have been an arch at one time.
In front of it was the research station where Lu Feng'er had just come, and now this is the largest and most complete building here, and the tin hut behind the research station is the temporary laboratory.
Walking to the other side, although the scene in front of her was monotonous, it made Lu Feng'er's heart throb. After tens of thousands of years, that unknown forest still stands proudly on the snowfield, as short as tens of meters and as high as about two or three hundred meters, ready to be called at any time like a soldier.
The trunk of the tree is even harder as iron against the snow, emitting a cold glow. The leaves are not thick and lush, but they are as creepy as a needle, as if they were born to be a sharp sword.
In the distance, there was a thick layer of snow, but the signs of a mudslide also indicated that there had been a large avalanche there, but surprisingly, not a single tree had fallen to the ground, and it was still firmly rooted in the ground.
"What, you're scared silly?" The old man next to him sat on the ground, took out a pot of wine out of nowhere, and drank it himself, "No, do you want it?" As if he suddenly thought of Lu Feng'er by his side again, he handed him the wine bottle again.
"No, this is really not necessary!" Lu Feng'er stopped again and again.
"That's right, you're still a little kid, what kind of wine do you drink!" the old man muttered, making Lu Feng'er roll his eyes in anger.
"Old man, you said the other side - I said that the forest on the other side, is there any research value?" Lu Feng'er swallowed.
"Nonsense, I've wanted to study it for a long time, but why I haven't gone until now........ You take a step forward and look down. The old man smiled inexplicably.
Lu Feng'er did so.
'Rub', but then, suddenly, he took a few steps back and sat on the ground.
"I forgot to tell you, take your time, don't be so anxious!" The old man was very happy to see that his prank had succeeded, and Lu Feng'er was also frightened and ignored his words.
After breathing a sigh of relief, he slowly got up and walked over, poking his head out with difficulty and looking down.
If I saw the Great Wall over there before, if it was a general wearing hard armor, the Great Wall here would be a soldier who was torn off his flesh and blood but did not yield - from the top down, there were almost no places that were completely flat, and the deep pits on the surface one by one should be intertwined with cannon marks, sharp knife stabs, and scratches left by steel claws.
The Great Wall over there was dark and shiny, but the Great Wall here was stained red with blood, like a resentful spirit that lasted for a long time, with a trace of evil intent that penetrated the bones and cold. Today, thousands of years later, it also disturbs his mind.
What's even more terrifying is that a crack doesn't know how to count as a deep pit, like an abyss, hidden in a place that can't be seen before, long and thick, at a glance, there is darkness, only darkness, as if the whole person and his soul are going to be devoured.
Lu Feng'er took a second look, only to feel that her soul was about to be sucked away and devoured by it, unable to resist.
'Smack', the old man slapped Lu Feng'er on the shoulder, and Lu Feng'er was so frightened that she almost jumped up.
"Thank you!" Lu Feng'er relieved herself and gasped and thanked the old man, "I almost feel like I'm going to die." ”
"Normal, the first time I saw it, I was stunned for three days, and some even fainted directly, you're okay. The old man pouted, "Now you know why we can't go to the other side, right?"
"Hmm!" Lu Feng'er slowly came back to her senses. 'Damn, my chance won't be in that pit, will it??' Lu Feng'er couldn't help but feel weak when she thought of this.
"By the way, the old lady Wang said that you found something black and seems to be very powerful?" the old man suddenly asked as the two sat cross-legged on the ground resting, as if he was interested in it.
"Hmm, old man, do you know who I am?" Lu Feng'er said in surprise.
"Get to the point, don't talk nonsense. The old man said impatiently.
"Well, here's the thing.........." Lu Feng'er carefully told the old man in front of him what he saw and heard, and the old man put away his previous cynical appearance and listened carefully, for fear of missing a word.
"Is this really a big discovery!" After hearing this, the old man burst into a foul mouth excitedly, "Look at those deep pits on the Great Wall, is it possible that they were corroded by that black energy?"
"No, this thing seems to be spreading all the time. Speaking of this, Lu Feng'er's back was covered in cold sweat, the Great Wall was pitch black, where could you tell where you were infected and where you weren't?
"Doesn't that say there's a limit to its power?" the old man didn't intend to give up his conjecture so easily.
"Eh, that's ......." Lu Feng'er didn't know how to answer.
"Forget it, I'll go down and have a look. The old man jumped up with a 'whoosh', so that he couldn't tell that he was over sixty years old, "Do you want to go down together?" He looked at Lu Feng'er.
"I, I'm going to ....... here" Lu Feng'er just opened her mouth,
"I'm the only one left. Suddenly, Lu Feng'er heard this voice again, and now it seemed that the voice was not on the Great Wall but from ..... West?
