Chapter 204: The Waterhole

Sister Tahara and the other two people had no motivation to continue going down at that time, and the night of running wild almost made them tired without any desire to survive, but they were not exhausted of food, at least the food and water they brought out could make them live for at least a week.

The four of them continued on until the afternoon of the day, when the sun was about to set, which was about the time when we had traveled long distances in the tunnel. It's also strange that they didn't find the lost people of the Seven Masters all day. But at night, I miraculously saw several trance-like figures in the canyon ahead.

They must not chase when they meet, a few people together are always better than fewer people, but how they chase and shout those people are as if they can't hear or see, and they go forward vigorously, and they don't respond to Tahara and them.

The stronger the night, the clearer the shadows of those people, and they followed until it was dark, and they didn't catch up, and the Seventh Master and his gang finally disappeared into the night.

Everyone was tired at that time, and they didn't rest all night, plus they walked for another day during the day, no one wanted to continue walking, and the black shadows couldn't catch up, and finally they had to find a depression in the cliff, and a few people coped with it all night.

These people entered the canyon the next day, almost at the same time as us, and they didn't know why, they stumbled into the foggy canyon by mistake, and they thought that the sky had changed, but they saw the sun after the fog had dissipated.

But when they saw their surroundings clearly, they were startled by those mushrooms that were several stories high, and they wanted to exit by the sun, but they were attacked by man-eating mushrooms, it is difficult to describe the scene of their manager at that time, in short, the four people without any weapons were cleaned up by several man-eating mushrooms in a few minutes.

This also explains why I didn't see a figure in the ancestral hall on the cliff wall at that time, it turned out that as early as that night, these people had been attacked by monkeys, more than ten people, only more than 40 hours left, only the current one remained.

I felt a little uncomfortable, the bulging stalks I saw at that time, maybe there must still be people alive, maybe I saved them at the time, and now they are almost fine, but I didn't, I couldn't save them, and in my state at that time, maybe they all died there.

In the end, the flashlight became a completely dark spot, and I couldn't call it a little bit of color, only my eyes could see a little bit closely, and I had a diving light on my watch, but it was also a drop in the bucket, and it was only used as a light source to see the time.

There was no light, and after staying in the dark for a while, I felt Tahara come over again, and I couldn't make too many movements, so I could only continue to sit as I was. At first, I was thinking about what to do when the gas cleared, but it didn't take long for me to lose much desire to think about those things. Because getting out of this area is only the first step, and the labyrinthine canyon behind it is the deadly thing.

I counted the contents of this backpack, there was no power supply, no weapons, there were many biscuits and energy bars, and there were only two bottles of water left, which were used with caution and could not last more than two days at most. The food is just that, if you can't walk to the Shadow Village within two days, there will definitely be no way to live.

There were only two of us in the bunker, and I was thinking of opening the slate door for ventilation, but it was not long before the poison gas spread, and it was too late for me to remember, so the second half of the journey was really painful, and I fell asleep for a while, and was awakened again.

Finally, in a hurry of five hours, I opened the slate door, and the fresh air came in, almost not getting me drunk. Time was running out, so I packed up my things and climbed out of the bunker with Tahara, who was already in good condition.

The fog was thick again at this time, and I could only see less than a meter in front of me, so I casually found an impression away from the direction of those man-eating mushrooms, and I pulled Tahara to run all the way.

Along the way, we didn't encounter anything else, but we were still in the mushroom field, and now that the sun was almost setting, we only had this time. If we can't encounter danger again, we only have more than ten hours, and we can't get out at this point, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a bunker again.

Estimating the time, it was already completely dark, and after walking more than ten meters, I suddenly found that the mushrooms on the ground were much smaller, and most of them grew scattered in the cracks.

I also found that the ground under my feet had changed from the original decaying sediment to a slate, but the slate was covered with a layer of moss, and it was not strange that it was covered with clouds and mist all year round.

I have seen these things with irrepressible joy, I have seen this kind of floor, around the outside of the mushroom field, around the edge of the valley floor is a stone path, and there are not many mushrooms there, almost none, maybe now I have walked on that road.

But after walking for a while, I felt that there was something wrong there, there were still stone slabs on the ground, I was wearing stone slabs to walk forward, dozens of meters long, the ground was full of stone slabs, I didn't even see the shadow of the cliff, this is not like the stone road.

"Grandma's ......" I scolded to myself, Tahara held my arm tightly, and she was about to say something, when suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in front of us.

I pressed my arm, but Tahara didn't mean to speak. We stood there and didn't dare to move, and the tall black shadow stayed there and didn't mean to rush up.

"That'...... What is that? "Tahara's voice is weak, my arm is considered to have suffered this time, and I haven't felt comfortable all the way.

I shook my head slightly, I don't know, but look at what kind of body type, some look like giant man-eating mushrooms, I waited for a long time, and the black shadow didn't make any movement, the more I waited, the more I wondered, is there a queue for death this year? I really can't figure out if it's full? But anyway, this thing should also be a plant, satiety is probably not its need, never-ending nutrients are what it wants, so constant hunting is its first choice, this is not limited to people who have been difficult to meet for a few years, or those monkeys who have broken in by mistake.

I waited for a long time, because I didn't want to find another way, so I just slipped away, and I didn't want to go back. It's been so long, it's all slate, at least unlike those mushroom fields, so I still hope I'm just wrong.

The two of us stood there and watched the tall black shadow for a long time. I felt that something was wrong there, and I was spinning my mind frantically in that situation, and all of a sudden, it occurred to me what the dark shadow might be.

As soon as I figured it out, I just wanted to pat myself on the head, it was really sinister all the way, and now it was all the grass and trees, and it wasn't a giant mushroom at all. The big black shadow in the shape of a pillar is clearly a boulder pillar.

I snorted a few times on the spot for some reason, Tahara looked up at me, I didn't explain, just pulled her and walked towards the black shadow. Tahara was a little uneasy, but he followed me over.

It wasn't until the shadow came into my sight that I had the idea of crashing into it and killing me. This is a bit too shameless, it's obviously just a bare stone pillar, and I was scared by the shadow of this thing and didn't dare to move forward, where I waited for a long time.

The stone pillar is almost the same as the previous two times, the shape is the same, but the dense lines on it like a spell are surprisingly more, and the material of the stone pillar is not the same, its surface is smoother, there are not so many naturally occurring grooves, this stone pillar is completely integrated, unlike the outside ones, most of them are still built.

I glanced at Tahara on the side, then at the words on the stone pillar, and asked, "Girl, do you know what is on it?" ”

Tahara glanced at me very arrogantly, seemingly a little dissatisfied with my name, but didn't say anything, she approached the stone pillar, she touched the lines on the stone pillar, and finally withdrew her hand and shook her head: "I haven't seen it, but ...... But these don't seem to be words, it's kind of like a symbol like Yun Leiwen. ”

I pinched my chin, the lines were deep, and I circled around the stone pillar, and I continued to ask, "Haven't seen it before?" Isn't it true that there are no previous textbooks and excavated cultural relics? ”

Tahara patted his head for a long time, and then suddenly thought of something, and immediately said: "Yes, there is, but those utensils are only similar to these lines, and they have not been solved until now, and they have been placed in the warehouse, and I also saw them in the warehouse with my father a few years ago." ”

I was thinking about continuing to walk, and I couldn't care about it so much, it had nothing to do with me, after all, it was good to be nosy, but Tahara suddenly said "oh" and said: "I remember, they seem to call that similar pattern a ghost book." ”

I waited for a long time, but Tahara didn't continue, and we stared at each other for a long time before I asked, "No?" ”

Tahara shook his head: "Gone?" ”

I rolled my eyes, turned my head and pulled him around the back of the stone pillar, the ground in this place is all bluestone slabs, and it is not an open space behind the stone pillar, there are a few dark shadows around, I went to see another one, and I didn't have the heart to look at anything else after confirming that it was still a stone pillar.

The stone pillar was wound into a semicircle, there must be something in the center, and after a moment, a question suddenly occurred to me. We are at the bottom of the valley, and now I know it in my heart, this place is the very center of the whole valley.

Thinking about this, I hurriedly walked forward, such an important place, there may still be something in the center, after walking a few steps, there was a noise under my feet, and when I looked down, I found that I had stepped into the water.

The water under my feet was not deep, only above the heel, but it was extremely cold, and my shoes were not waterproof, and there was already water seeping into them. Within seconds, the water that seeped into my shoes was on my feet, and the cold vapor drilled straight into my flesh, what is called cold and biting, what is cold, what is cold, I have experienced it for the first time in more than 20 years.
