233, the city of light
Completely different from what we had seen before, this place was covered with green lichen, and the dense lichen completely covered the entire tunnel, as if we had left the ground.
The ground was covered with moss, and the slippery road made us fall many times, but everyone was a little happy, and it meant that what we had guessed was likely to come true.
The road became more and more difficult to walk, and water began to drip down our heads, and the humid environment made everyone feel a little discouraged.
"There is the sound of water." The Great Witch said.
"It's not the sound of water droplets all the time." The old witch looked disgusted.
"Shhhh Indeed it is. Jian Hanyi paused and listened carefully and said.
"Is there one?" Brother Neng asked, then took a few steps forward and tried to listen carefully.
Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom ~
The sound came, and the movement seemed to be really loud, but unfortunately we were still a little far away now, so we couldn't really hear it.
"It's the sound of water, and it feels like it's either a rushing river or a waterfall." Brother Neng said.
If there is water and moss, does that mean that there may be sunshine ahead? I can't help but feel a little excited in my heart, if this is really the case, I hope that the people inside can break the shackles of fate on each other with us.
As we continued to struggle, the water grew louder and louder, and the roar made me think it was raining outside.
A deafening voice came.
"A waterfall ahead?" I asked. The sound could no longer be the sound of the river, and it felt like the waterfall was very different from the flow and drop.
"It should be." Jian Lin replied.
Sure enough, before he had walked a few steps, a rushing river appeared, and the sound of water came from not far ahead.
The river is about seven or eight meters wide, but the current is very fast, and the water is unusually clear, it feels like the dark river we have crossed before.
Walking along the riverbank, my eyes suddenly opened up, and the faint light pierced my eyes into tears, and I quickly put on the special glasses that Feng Lingzi gave me.
A faint light came from the front, and my vision was stabbed a little blurred, and I walked forward.
A white pin paved down from under our feet, and fell heavily, causing a huge mist at the foot of the cliff.
We looked at the scene in front of us in disbelief, it was like a lost world, the houses were scattered in the mountains and forests under the cliffs, the beams of light hit the earth, and our heads were still hard rock walls, but there were holes in some places to let the light in, and it felt like in a fairy tale.
There was no sound but the sound of water below, and it made me feel a little uneasy.
Apart from plants and houses, we don't see any animals.
"Let's go down and have a look." Feng Lingzi said.
I nodded, of course, hoping to find something below.
There seems to be a plank road under our feet, but I don't know if it's because of disrepair, there is no board to step on at this moment, only stone beams are left one foot apart, if it is on the flat ground, it may not be nothing, but on this cliff with a vertical height of nearly 100 meters, I have some numb legs and feet.
But now we have no other choice but to take this path.
The two witch guards climbed on the stone beam, secured the rope, and carefully jumped towards the next rope.
The moment they jumped out, I felt like my heart was beating a lot faster. Fortunately, they stood on the two palm-wide stone beams, and the sound of the wind shook their clothes, and I pursed my lips, tied the rope to myself, and jumped like them.
But I wasn't as lucky as them, I didn't jump onto the stone beam, and if they hadn't caught me, I might have fallen without even touching the stone beam, and although I wouldn't have died, I would have been hit by the stone wall behind me.
I gasped and cautiously leaned down on the stone beam, "Thank you." "I made a gesture.
But there was no response.
They fastened the rope to this stone beam near the cliff face.
I couldn't help but blush, it didn't look like we needed to jump like this.
Brother Neng and Feng Lingzi laughed unkindly, I simply had a thick skin, sat on the stone beam and waited for them to come, and then went down together.
Sure enough, it was a person who had practiced, and this distance was not particularly easy for them, but it was also a steady jump, they tied ropes all the way, and we stepped on the rope bridge they built and walked down easily.
The one-armed witch guard and Lao Hei packed up the rope in the back, so that we would not run out of rope for this journey.
After this journey, I felt that neither of my legs was my own, and I didn't know how the two witch guards in front of me managed to be the same as no other.
Forget it, envy doesn't come.
In front of us was the edge of a deep pool under the waterfall, and the huge mist and splash shrouded most of the water, revealing only a clear spot at the edge. There is no river flowing out of here, and it seems that there is still a dark river or underground lake in this small area, but now our first priority is the village in front of us.
A stone tablet towers over the edge of the jungle, carved with three characters like a ghostly symbol. This stele is very quaint, and there is no superfluous decoration on the long stone pillars, as if a huge ring ruler was inserted into the ground.
"What's written on this?" Brother Neng asked curiously.
The Great Witch was called up by Jian Hanyi, and I realized why I brought her in.
"It seems to be translated as the city of gleaning." The Great Witch thought for a while and said jerkyly.
"Time? Time of time? Jian Hanyi asked.
The Great Witch shook his head, "Pick it up, pick it up." ”
I looked at the beams of light falling in front of me, and I understood why it was called that. They were like picking up beams of light from the sky, but it seems to be an exaggeration to say that it is a city, and when we look down from above, there are not many buildings in it, and there are not many trees, so it is already a very large village.
There were no more clues on the stone monument, and we walked along the leaf-strewn road towards the so-called City of Time.
The woods were eerily quiet, and it felt like the resentful forest we'd been to.
Fortunately, there are stone slabs on this road, otherwise we might not have been able to find our way in now.
The plants in the forest grew densely, as if they had been injected with hormones, but there was only one plant that seemed to grow wildly, and this plant filled the entire forest, strangled and strangled, but strangely there was no such plant within ten meters of the road and the roadside.
We headed into the depths.
It's not a run-down place, but it looks like no one has been there in a long time.
