Chapter 7: Eyes
Facts have proved that our trust in Shen Lang is not wrong, and he really lived up to expectations at the critical moment, and with a muffled sound of landing, our eyes gradually returned to the color that should have been here.
After recovering our vision, the first thing we saw was the Red Heart Candle that Chun Ting had mentioned just now, and Shen Lang who was rubbing his knees and smirking under the Red Heart Candle.
Looking at Shen Lang's current state, it is not difficult for us to guess that the muffled sound that everyone heard just now should be the sound he made when he landed.
Seeing this, I slowly walked towards Shen Lang, first hammered him on the shoulder, and then gave him a big hug.
Being responsible and responsible, daring to stand up at a critical moment, being able to be such a brother is enough to make me proud.
Shen Lang was obviously a little uncomfortable with my sudden enthusiasm, but after feeling my emotions, Shen Lang also understood why I acted like this, so he didn't make any resistance, but the smile on his face became more and more obvious.
After noticing Shen Lang's constant knee-rubbing movements, I slowly let go of Shen Lang, squatted beside him to observe his knees, and asked him with my eyes.
After seeing the worry in my eyes, Shen Lang first smirked and then replied to me indifferently.
"Brother Chuan, you don't have to worry, I just jumped down from the top of the red heart candle and flashed my knee, don't get in the way, don't get in the way, it'll be fine in a while, there's no big problem at all."
Although I heard Shen Lang's answer, I still didn't feel at ease and continued to knead his knees, and after making sure that there was really no big problem, I let out a sigh of relief, and then got up and looked at the red heart candle in front of us.
And if it weren't for Chunting's words, none of us would think that this is a candlestick.
Because this red heart candle is too tall compared to the general candlestick, this candlestick is about five meters high, engraved with a variety of cumbersome and complex ornaments, at first glance it looks like the palace in the Huabiao, mighty, mysterious and abnormal, revealing a kind of reverie charm.
After careful observation, it is not difficult to find that this red heart candle is pitch black throughout, and the material does not belong to any of the ones I know, non-gold and non-wood, non-copper and non-iron, its base is square, convex up and down, and concave in the middle, which is a typical Sumeru seat.
Looking up at the body of the platform, I found that the body of the platform is engraved with all kinds of legendary birds and beasts, which is extremely complex and dazzling, and although it looks like a Chinese watch, to my surprise, the carved on the top of it is not like a Chinese watch roaring towards the sky, but a pair of closed eyes.
Although the eyes carved on the red heart candle were closed, and I couldn't tell what they were, I had a gut feeling that once these eyes were opened, we would face a drastic change, perhaps nine deaths.
Looking at these closed eyes, a trace of inexplicable fear actually rose in my heart.
Along the way, I have traveled from south to north, experienced a lot of wind and rain, and now I am afraid of the eyes carved on a candlestick?
It's incredible, I can't help but be shocked.
"Brother Ting, fortunately, I am not dishonored."
Just when I was shocked and puzzled by the closed eyes, everyone also walked to my side one after another, Shen Lang seemed to feel that his knees were no longer a problem, so he walked towards us, his tone was full of excitement.
"Brother Ting, it's really the same as you said, after I climbed to the top just now, I saw a groove engraved with incantations, I cut the final middle finger with frost sky, and then dripped the blood of the middle finger into the groove, and as soon as my blood dripped into the groove, I saw a faint light flickering in the groove."
"But I didn't dare to stay long, and immediately returned to the ground from the top after seeing the change, and the moment I fell back to the ground, I saw that everyone's originally dull eyes were restored, and it seemed that the illusion had been solved, and the five senses had been restored."
Even Chun Ting, who has never liked to praise people, did not hesitate to be satisfied with the satisfaction in his eyes at this time, but he didn't say anything, just looked at Shen Lang and admonished him.
"Well done Shen Lang, it's just that when the time limit for the technique just now passes, you will feel dizzy, have a splitting headache, and there will be a certain degree of weakening in your body, and this feeling will not disappear until two hours later."
"So no matter what happens, you must follow us closely, if you accidentally leave an order, then it is easy for accidents to happen in your difficult state, and no one wants to see such a thing happen."
"Brother Ting, don't worry."
Although Chun Ting's tone was serious, Shen Lang didn't seem to care, and his tone was still full of excitement.
"I finally experienced what it feels like to be a hero, how could I allow myself to have an accident, I still want to continue to stand up next time to solve problems for everyone, I will definitely follow everyone, I believe that everyone will never leave me behind, Brother Ting, it's okay."
Hearing Shen Lang's answer, Chun Ting didn't say much, only to see him turn around and stare at the pair of eyes carved on the top of the Red Heart Candle, with the same fear in his expression as mine.
And the moment I saw that Chunting actually showed the same expression of fear, I was immediately sure that the fear I felt just now was by no means groundless, and if the mysterious Chunting would also be afraid of these closed eyes, then the source of these eyes must be far beyond my imagination.
Therefore, I couldn't hold back my emotions, walked to Chunting's side in two steps, and then pointed to the closed eyes above, and asked Chunting bluntly.
"Chunting, I suddenly had a faint fear in those closed eyes just now, and I see that you seem to have the same expression as me, do you know something?"
After hearing my inquiry, Chunting did not look back at me, his gaze still resting on those eyes, and his tone was clearly full of uncertainty and deep worry.
"I'm not sure, it's just that these eyes remind me of an extremely distant legend, if it is really related to that legend, then this Black Rock City is tantamount to the Longtan Tiger's Den, and our group is afraid that life and death will be unpredictable in the end."
However, Chunting quickly adjusted his mood, he turned away from looking at the Red Heart Candle, and then showed a smile that looked extremely reluctant to everyone.
"So everyone should pay attention to the fact that in our next exploration process, as long as we find something wrong, we must inform everyone as soon as possible, we can gain nothing here, but we must not lose troops here."
