After about half an hour, Rui'er suddenly stopped, and I hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"That voice became very chaotic and noisy" I saw her brows tightened, beads of sweat the size of beans also fell, and she kept rubbing her temples with her hands, with a pained expression on her face.

I stepped forward and grabbed Rui'er and said, "Don't worry, let's walk for so long, let's rest first." ”

We found a big stone on the side of the road, sat down, Rui'er took out a water bladder from her waist, opened the stopper and drank a few sips, and handed it to me, I waved my hand, took out a pill from the purse I carried with me, and handed it to Rui'er: "This is what I brought from the palace when I escaped, Qi Tong said that this is called Jiulu Dingshen Pill, which can reassure the mind, replenish qi and blood, and also have an effect on headaches, you take it quickly." Rui'er glanced at me gratefully, took the pill and took it with water, and began to close her eyes to recuperate, for a moment, I saw her take a deep breath, exhale again, slowly open her eyes, I patted her on the back, and asked:

"Are you feeling better?"

"Well, it's much better, the things in the palace, the effect is really good, now my head doesn't hurt, and the voice is much quieter."

It was still pitch black all around, and the moonlight was much dimmer than before, except for the area of about a meter around the fisheye stone, the rest was still indistinguishable, I turned around and asked, "Rui'er, where are we now?" ”

"I haven't been here before," Rui'er took out a compass from her waist pocket and shook it in her hand, "The compass is also broken, and I can't tell the direction"

The compass pointer is jumping around, it should be a magnetic field interference nearby, is there a big magnet here? I took the compass in Rui'er's hand, turned around nearby, and then tried it close to the stone we were sitting on, and found a few other big stones to try, the pointer was still jumping around, this situation is really strange, if we are in the magnetic field range of a large magnet, then the stones around it should also be magnetic, but I approached the stone, the pointer did not point to it, which means that the stone here is not magnetic, that means that the magnetic field should not be caused by the big magnet, and the lake is wide boundary, The rocks should be mainly limestone, and the magnetic mountains that can generate such a strong magnetic field should not exist, so what is the reaction of this compass? I looked up at the sky, the branches and leaves of the trees are too dense, I can't see the sky at all, I want to find the stars to refer to the direction is no fun, I can't find any good way, Rui'er has not been here, even if we wait until dawn, there is no reference for the direction of positioning, we can't go out, and, if we wait until dawn, then tonight, it is in vain, it seems, we can only try our luck.

"We're looking around, maybe there's something to help us get our bearings," I said to Rui'er

"Okay, anyway, with you by my side, I'm not bored, let's go forward" With that, Rui'er stood up, straightened her clothes, and continued to walk forward.

After walking for about half an hour, the woods around me suddenly disappeared, and a clearing appeared in front of me, I looked around, this clearing was quite large, although by the moonlight, the field of vision was much broader, although I couldn't really see the surrounding environment, but at least it was much larger than the range in the woods.

"Let's split up and see if we have any clues," I proposed.

"Okay," Rui'er agreed, and then stuffed the fisheye stone into my hand, "You take the fisheye stone, my eyesight is better than yours, as long as there is moonlight, I can see clearly." ”

I took the fisheye stone, and Rui'er separated from the left and right, each with a semi-circular path to start exploring, the open space area is very large, I cautiously walked forward dozens of meters, nothing was found, but there is a detail, let me care very much, logically speaking, in this valley, the trees are dense, overgrown with weeds, the ground is uneven, but this is not the case here, the ground of this clearing seems to be unusually flat, and even a little smooth, I almost fell, and the ground is very clean, no gravel, no fallen leaves, not even weedsI crouched down and knocked on the ground, as if there was a sound of hitting metal, the surroundings seemed to be darkened, I looked up at the sky, I don't know when, the moon had disappeared into the clouds, except for the range illuminated by the fisheye stone in my hand, there was only darkness left. I began to get nervous, and I stood up and continued walking, hoping to meet Rui'er, but no matter how I walked, it seemed that I couldn't reach the end, the clearing seemed to become infinitely larger, and the air became warmer, and my body began to tremble in fear, and the fisheye stone in my hand fell to the ground.

"Rui...."I wanted to call Rui'er's name in the opposite direction, but as soon as I shouted the word "Rui", someone behind me suddenly covered my mouth with his hand and pulled me to the ground, I instinctively just wanted to struggle, but I heard someone whispering in my ear:

"Shhhhh

It was Rui'er's voice, and the stone in my heart fell to the ground, only to see her frowning, covering my mouth with one hand, and making a silent gesture to me with the other hand. A boy is not as bold as a girl, I was really a little annoyed, and was about to break her hand to argue a few words, when I suddenly saw her pointing in the direction ahead: "Look, what's that in front?" ”

I followed her direction, but saw nothing but darkness, I picked up the fisheye and wanted to take a picture of it, but Rui'er snatched it and put it in my pocket.

"Don't take it, you'll be discovered."

"Discovered by something? I didn't see anything! ”

Rui'er pulled me forward a few more steps, and where she had just pointed, there was a faint red light.

"What's that red thing?"

"I can't see clearly, or be careful, I heard my father tell a story when I was a child, legend has it that a long time ago, in this valley, one night, suddenly lightning and thunder, bright as day, and then somewhere in the valley appeared out of thin air an ancient building made of gold, people living around the valley, got the news, they all ran to see if they could find gold, just when people gathered in front of the ancient building, ready to go in to find out, from the golden ancient building out of a monster, the whole body glowed red, the monster has appeared, Then he killed all the people present, and then knocked down the mountain in the valley, and let the mountain stone bury the ancient building, and then some brave people ran to dig the golden ancient building, but there was no return, it is said that as long as someone approached, the monster would appear and kill the person, and then later, the people nearby were afraid that the monster would appear again to do evil, so they all moved away, and there was no human population near the valley. Rui'er said very solemnly.

Monster? It's interesting, but even I can cross it, so I can't tell if there really is something mysterious! I asked, "Have you ever seen a monster with your father?" ”

"I haven't seen any monsters, I've lived in this valley with my dad for so many years, this valley is like my back garden, I can come and go freely with my eyes closed" Rui'er showed a smug expression, and suddenly dimmed, "Today's place, it's the first time I've been here, and I got lost" She pouted, and continued: "I saw that red light, and suddenly the story my dad told me flashed in my head, maybe the monster really exists, if the monster exists, Then maybe there really is a golden ancient building! Let's go check it out! Rui'er's morale suddenly rose, and she was very eager to try.

"If the legend is true, then the monster can kill so many people at once, I'm afraid the two of us are not opponents, why don't we go back first, and then go over to see what is going on when the day dawns?" I've always been very cautious about things that I don't know.

"Why are you so cowardly, besides, how can we go back? Now there is no moon in the sky, it is pitch black, we can't find the original way at all, don't forget the purpose of our coming tonight, I tell you, the voice in my head will disappear as soon as the day dawns. ”

Rui'er's reason is indeed very sufficient, I can't find an excuse to refute it, besides, I was provoked by her words, if I still insist on leaving, I am afraid that I will never be able to raise my head in front of her in the future.

"Okay, let's go over and have a look, but you have to promise me, if there is danger, let's not be reckless, it's a big deal that I'll accompany you next time."

"Okay, I know, as long as you don't drag your feet later," he said, walking towards the red light, not noticing that I was glancing at her behind her.

The red light became bigger and bigger in front of me, I could almost see the true face of the red light, I saw a huge pillar standing straight on the ground, about ten meters high, it seemed to be very thick, it took about three or four adults to surround it, and there would be a long spike sticking out of the pillar every other distance, the top of the spike seemed to be inlaid with some hexagonal discs, and the whole body of the pillar emitted red light, and those discs were reflected by the red light, like red flowers, and the whole look, Much like a giant red caterpillar.

What is it? Even I, a high-quality young man from a highly modern society and highly educated, have no concept at all, and the scenes from various tomb robbery novels suddenly flashed in my mind, maybe the legendary Golden Ancient Building is an ancient tomb!

"Rui'er, let's take a closer look," I said, turning to Rui'er.

Rui'er seemed a little surprised by my initiative, and stared at me sideways for a few seconds, but did not refute, and continued to approach the pillar before me, and I immediately followed.

Seeing that it is getting closer and closer to the pillar, the appearance of the "red caterpillar" is becoming clearer and clearer, the whole column is not a whole, as if it is spliced together one by one, the gap between the sections is covered by a piece of about some kind of metal, although there is red light, but there is no reflection at all, as if the light is sucked in, the surrounding temperature is higher than before, it should be emitted by this pillar. I was about to go around the back of the pillar to take a closer look, when I heard the sound of "Caracalla" in my ears.

"It's, it's moving," Rui'er exclaimed.

The "caterpillar" began to writhe slowly, and the amplitude and speed became faster and faster, and I was taken aback, took a few steps back, fell to the ground, and hurried to get up, not caring for the direction, only thinking about running as far as possible. I didn't run far, I heard a "boom" behind me, I looked back, the "caterpillar" fell backwards, twisted a few times in place, suddenly the whole body was bright red, and then twisted its torso and rushed towards me, seeing it chasing me, I was even more riveted and desperately accelerated forward, but the ground was too smooth, I ran one step and slipped two steps, let me use the force of milk, the speed just couldn't be lifted, but the caterpillar, moving at an amazing speed, not affected by the smooth ground at all, seeing" The caterpillar "twisted left and right, getting closer and closer to me, but my physical strength began to run out, I became more and more flustered, I didn't stabilize a step, and the whole person fell on my stomach."

"It's over, I'm going to die this time" My mind went blank for a moment.
