Volume 1: The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Dark Pearl, Chapter 67, The Dark Star That Got Away
Turning their gaze to the dark star, everyone headed west, and soon reached the junction of the mountain. But they were in big trouble, the road here was a rough jeep lane, it was impossible for the RV to drive on it, and if they wanted to enter the mountain, they had to give up the shelter of the RV, and it was already two o'clock in the morning, and Iger decided to take them into the mountain tomorrow.
Darkstar was very confused by Egger's resoluteness, but he also faintly smelled the smell of the hidden mission, so he didn't object, as for the strong shield and the priest girl, they were the same existence as his entourage, and they didn't have the right to speak, who made his brother be... Hum.
While thinking about the huge gains of the hidden mission, he rummaged through the supplies in the car, and soon the portable things in the car were ready, to his surprise, there were a large number of medicines in the car, although these were ordinary drugs of the E level and could not take out space, but such supplies could bring a huge advantage to his team.
At the same time, they are also facing a problem, water and food are only enough for a few people to eat for a day, originally he and his wife planned to go into the city to purchase today, and the stock is naturally not much, although the contractor theoretically does not need to eat, but the effect of food to uplift the spirit still exists, and at the same time, Dark Star does not want to expose their "inhuman" identity.
Nothing was said all night.
At six o'clock in the morning, the three of them were woken up by Egg, who was ready to go, and Darkstar rubbed his eyes, and was attracted by Egg's words just as he wanted to get angry.
"The place we're going to today is mysterious, and the whole town is the only one I know." Egger patted his chest and said, "That was ten days ago one night, I was drunk and rolled under the jeep road, but fortunately there was a tree that hooked me, what to say, it was a good place anyway." ”
Dark Star was overjoyed in his heart, the secret realm that he only discovered more than ten days ago must be a hidden plot, and he can't be wrong. This kid with a stick also made a wedding dress for me this time! It's really relieving.
Then his anger disappeared suddenly: "How far is that place. ”
"It's only two or three hours away on foot." Iger grinned when he saw Darkstar agree, "It's going to be cooler now." ”
Now that they had a target, they were quick to move, and it took the Darkstar team less than five minutes to get everything done and join Egger under the car. However, to their surprise, the doctor's wife was also preparing to set off with them, perhaps because she was worried that she would encounter a monster alone, and Dark Star didn't care.
So the group of five boarded the bumpy jeep lane, the jeep lane was once the main road leading to Besby, the so-called ruggedness is only for driving, even the intellectual elders like Dark Star can travel on the road very easily, and as they move forward, they can obviously feel their altitude is rising.
In order to take care of the pastor's sister's footsteps, the group walked and stopped, and Egger walked for more than an hour and they walked for two hours, so by the time they reached the top of the slope of their destination, it was already past eight o'clock.
Darkstar noticed that they had been walking on hard volcanic rock since they entered the mountain, and he had learned about it in his homeland, so he knew that caves could indeed appear in this landform, so he had no doubt about Egger's words.
If you come here, you can see the anticline mountains on the side, and if you come here, you will definitely be sure that this is the Southern Rocky Mountains south of the Wyoming Basin, which is the most majestic part of the entire Rocky Mountains, consisting of two parallel groups of anticline mountains in the east and west, and two very famous fossils have been unearthed here, which are named "strange shrimp" and "grotesque insects".
However, Dark Star doesn't seem to have this knowledge, and he just walks to the bottom under Egger's leadership.
The jeep lane was originally built around the mountain, and the steep slope outside it was naturally not easy to climb, and Dark Star moved down carefully, and soon his hands were blistered, which made him very uncomfortable.
But in the process of descending all the way, the four of them saw that the grass and trees along the way had traces of lodging that had been crushed, and the traces of broken branches of small trees on the path all proved that Egger's words should really be hidden underneath!
"It's all here, what's down there?" Jian Dun is not an existence like Dark Star that can suppress curiosity, and he finally can't help it after walking for so long.
"There are a lot of good things, sweet water, crystal-like walls." Egg licked his lips and walked for a while, "Soon, don't worry. ”
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the group to come to a bush halfway up the mountain, where a deep ditch tens of centimeters wide appeared on the slope down, which seemed to lead to the bottom of the valley.
Seeing this deep ditch Egg's eyes lit up, his whole person seemed to be excited, and his tone of voice was also very excited: "It's down there, let's go!" Saying that, this person actually left behind the four of the dark stars and ran frantically along this deep ditch to the bottom of the valley.
The three people in the back looked at each other, but now they didn't seem to have a choice, because the food was all on Egg's back, and they had to walk slowly down.
······
The distance from the top of the slope to the bottom of the valley was only a few hundred meters, but due to the rugged mountain road, it was not until nine o'clock in the morning that Dark Star and the others stood out of breath in the valley below.
The temperature here is a little high, which is not in line with common sense, and Dark Star also frowned slightly: "If something goes abnormal, it is a demon, this is absolutely applicable in the world, and the hidden mission is coming." ”
"Task? What task? The doctor's wife looked up in confusion, but she was greeted by a black arrow.
"The most important use of the Corrosive Arrow skill is to destroy corpses." Darkstar glanced at the NPCs that had turned into thick water, took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped his hands, "Let's go to the heat source to see, there must be a secret." ”
The Guardian and the Priest Girl nodded, and the Shield took the initiative to clear the way ahead, with Darkstar and the Priest following behind.
Following the trail on the ground, the three of them soon came to a deep cave from which heat poured out.
"Hmm, geothermal energy? Could it be the volcano below? Scratching his head, he pulled out a flashlight as he spoke, and the shield in his right hand appeared silently.
"Just look at it." Darkstar and the priest also pulled out their flashlights, and the three of them entered the cave.
The cave was deep, but the obvious footprints on the ground easily pointed them in the way, and as they entered, the temperature had risen from the teens to the twenties, which was already close to the tropics.
"Priest, buff." Dark Star's right eyelid jumped, and he felt that there must be a great danger ahead.
When the priest heard this, he began to pray, and the light of holiness appeared in the dim cave.
The length of the cave is about 100 meters, and the interior is a huge empty semicircular space, which can be seen through the dim light of the flashlight, and the rocks on the surrounding walls show an obvious thin sheet-like layered structure, as if there are a large number of bones mixed in the layers of stones.
The only thing that was wrong in the semi-circular cave except for the layers of rocks was the strange stone wall on the front, because the light of the flashlight was weak, and they walked a few steps to find this turquoise "wall", and there was a small pool under this wall.
Jian Dun reached out and touched the water: "Warm water, maybe thirty or forty degrees." ”
Dark Star paid attention to the hint of the imprint, and the corners of his mouth rose wildly: "Get rich, affect the world line." ”
(Hint: You've entered a mysterious scene, and your exploration of the scene will affect the development of the world, so please explore carefully.) )
The flashlights of the three of them were hit on the green wall and the water, the wall was no different except for the jasper, and the situation in the water was a little more complicated, the backpack with their food was floating on the water, but Iger was nowhere to be seen.
"There's something wrong with this guy! He's too fast. Darkstar finally found the clue as he reflected on his experience along the way, but it seemed a little late.
Because the "wall" in front of them seemed to have been hit hard by something, and a large number of cracks appeared on the wall, and as the cracks expanded, huge tentacles sprang out from under the pool. At the same time, the walls of the cave were constantly shaking, as if something was passing through them.
"The difficulty of the mission has jumped to C!" Darkstar saw his quest prompt, "Retreat!" Return to town first! ”
