Chapter Eighty-Seven: A River
Ye Ming originally thought that An An was just a passionate little dancer, but she didn't expect that she was actually a business traveler, according to her, when she was sixteen years old, she went out to do business with the business team of Demon Fire Town, and she ran all over the towns around Demon Fire Town.
Of course, the old man's scolding was indispensable afterwards. When he was drinking in the grocery store that time, the old man once said to Ye Ming that An An has been naughty since he was a child, and his temperament is like a boy.
"What's the point of staying in Demon Fire Town all the time, I can't stay, and I'm not like an old man who can stay in the grocery store all day long and don't even bother to move. The world outside of Demon Fire is fun, I love to do business, but I also like to walk around. What about you? An An looked at Ye Ming.
"Me? This is the first time I've left Demon Fire Town. Ye Ming said truthfully.
"Really? Then I'm going to take you on a good walk this time. Our business travel route this time has to pass through five places, each place has the characteristics of each place, and the demon fire town is completely different, and it is interesting to enjoy the different cultural scenery of different places. Talking about the outside world, An An's eyebrows fluttered, and at the same time told Ye Ming about all kinds of interesting things she encountered during her trip with the businessman.
An An gave full play to her lively temperament again, and she kept talking as soon as the conversation box opened. However, this time, listening to An An talk about the place outside Demon Fire Town, Ye Ming felt that it was quite interesting.
About half an hour later, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"What's going on? How long has it been? It's not time to rest. It can't be another rockfall in the way, right? I'll go down and take a look. An An, who was talking energetically, got out of the carriage, and Ye Ming also went down with him.
As soon as he got out of the carriage and looked at the scene in front of him, Ye Ming was stunned.
What is this place? There are thick rocks at your feet, and there are countless stones of different sizes piled up on both sides of the road, and on both sides, there are two pitch-black straight cliffs, the height of the cliffs is not visible at a glance, and when you look up, you can only see that the sky is squeezed into a gap by the cliffs on both sides.
This road, like a majestic mountain being split in two by some force from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, and the low end of the exposed crack is this road.
The road is about 100 meters wide, looking forward, you can only see the towering cliffs on both sides continue to stretch out, between the straight cliffs, is the road that the business travelers set foot on, this road is only front and back, not left and right.
"There are rockfalls in front of you blocking the way, and you need to clean it up before you can move on." An An walked back from the front.
"What's going on with the cliffs on either side? Is it so high, has anyone ever climbed it? Ye Ming asked, pointing to the cliffs on the left and right.
"Don't you know this? Eat a fruit, and I'll tell you while I eat it. An An threw an apple.
"Guess what the road we are on now, the cliffs on both sides, including Demon Fire Town, originally these places?" An An found a clean piece of ground and sat down, and pulled Ye Ming to the side.
"What is it?" Ye Ming took a bite of the apple.
"It's a river. The road under our feet is actually the bottom of the river. The cliffs on both sides were originally immersed in the river, and so was Demon Fire Town, and all the surrounding places were. ”
"If you think so, it's actually where we are now. It was originally the bottom of a huge river, but for some reason, one day, the river dried up, revealing the riverbed, revealing everything under the river, which is what you see now. ”
"Look up, and see the gap that has been squeezed out of the cliffs on either side? It is said that it is the surface of the river, and if you think about how deep the river is, it is almost as high as the sky. An An pointed to the sky above his head and said.
"Demon Fire Town is a huge basin that used to be at the bottom of the river, it is circular, and all around, all these mountain cliffs that are so high that you can't see the top surround Demon Fire Town, and there are countless roads like this between the cliffs, leading to various places."
"What is it like on the top of the cliff, no one has climbed it so far." An An continued.
"And that kind of statement?" Ye Ming was really surprised.
"I don't know if it's true or not, but everyone says so. In the past, it was common to see huge fish bones on the rock walls of these cliffs, as well as some vegetation growing in Hanoi, which did not match the rumors. ”
"By the way, there are often falling rocks rolling down this cliff, but they never hurt anyone. There are rolling stones on the road ahead, which must have fallen a few days ago. An An said.
"Do you know when the river dried up? Why? Ye Ming asked.
"It dried up a long time ago, otherwise no one would have found this place and moved in. I really don't know the exact time, I think the old man will know a little, but I'm not very interested in this aspect, so I haven't asked him much. An An replied.
"I'll take a look." Ye Ming stood up, walked to the foot of the cliff next to the road, and reached out to touch it. The dark cliff stone wall was cool, there were many scratches on it, Ye Ming looked up and looked up along the straight cliff, this feeling was like looking into the distance on the boundless sea.
"Boom!" Suddenly, the ground began to tremble, and there was a rumbling sound in the distance, and a huge ball of flame that came out of nowhere rolled towards the caravanserais.
The fireball seemed to be a huge stone, with a raging flame burning on the surface of the stone, and it spun wildly on the road in front and behind, and clusters of burning flames were everywhere the stone reached.
At this time, between the hundred-meter-wide cliffs on both sides, a blue net was weaved, and blue magic flowed on the net, and there were streams of water running between the nets.
"Smack!" The rolling fireball slammed into the blue web, shattering it, but a powerful stream of water erupted from the shattered net and hit the surface of the fireball.
"Boom!" The flames on the surface of this fireball were a little dimmed, and after being hit by the impact of the water, the fireball suddenly burst, and a tall creature with a burning demon flame appeared impressively!
"Demon Flame Stone Man?" When Ye Ming saw this tall creature, he recognized it at a glance. Isn't this the first boss to escape from the Demon Fire Town dungeon to the Campfire Forest dungeon, the Demon Flame Stone Man?
"Little Qinglang, hide quickly, the guards will deal with this big guy." An An hurriedly ran over and pulled Ye Ming, who was still standing under the cliff, to hide behind the carriage.
The merchants also hurried back, leaving twenty guards to fight with the Demon Flame Stone Man.
"How did this thing come about?" Ye Ming stared at the Demon Flame Stone Man and asked.
"It's not uncommon to encounter these terrible creatures on your journey, and they lurk on every road, appearing whenever someone passes by, and you won't come across them unless you're lucky. I've encountered this big guy many times, don't be afraid, there are guards from Demon Fire Town, and this big guy can't beat them. An An thought that Ye Ming, who had left Demon Fire Town for the first time, was frightened when he saw that the Demon Flame Stone Man was frightened, and patted Ye Ming's back and comforted.
Just kidding, would Ye Ming be afraid of a wild Demon Flame Stone Man?
