Chapter 370: The Ferryman
Su Che was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "I'm still a little unsure now, but it seems to be like this." ”
"Why?" I asked, puzzled. 、
"Well, maybe there's an answer in it, right?" Su Che looked at me and said with a wry smile.
Well, if it weren't for the appearance of this place, I would not have any curiosity about my origins, who knew that fate was really wonderful, and it would have brought me to this place by turning around.
Everyone gathered together and prepared to move on, and after only a few steps, Shen Qin suddenly turned his head to us and said, "Isn't that right?" ”
"What's wrong?" Everyone looked at her together.
"There was a ticking sound just now, why isn't there now?" Shen Qin asked.
Everyone noticed at once, yes, the ticking sound was gone, but the drops were still falling, but the waterhole was not making a sound.
"Weird, really weird!" Shen Qin shook his head and said.
Everyone didn't know what to say, the flashlight shone around many times, and no one saw anyone or any strange phenomenon, and no one could explain why.
"This place is very weird, don't get separated." I turned to the crowd and said.
We're all good friends of mine, and although we've been through a lot of hardships together, it's the first time I've been to such a strange place, so I don't want anyone to get hurt.
The strange sound of water droplets must be something behind the scenes, someone is trying to use that to attract our attention, and then suddenly light the fire to destroy us, I think this is the enemy's routine, right?
Luckily, the god of luck is on our side.
With palpitations, I calmed down my emotions and continued to explore with everyone.
"Have you noticed, although it's not very obvious, but we're still going down a little bit." Su Che said suddenly.
I felt the same way, but I just kept thinking about other things and didn't think about it deeply.
"Also, we seem to be going around a bend, and the road ahead is not straight." Qian Eun Hao also continued.
To sum up everyone's findings, we are now walking down in a circle, and we don't know where we will end up, but this road will definitely not be endless.
"Let's go, it doesn't matter if it's up or down, I don't believe I can't find my head!" Shen Qin said angrily.
I can understand her depressed mood, so she said to everyone: "Aunt Shen is right, we are here anyway, I don't believe there is no end here, let's speed up." ”
In fact, in my heart, I was even more anxious than Shen Qin, because I thought that there were still many people waiting for us outside, but it had taken us so long that we hadn't even seen the shadow of the enemy.
In addition, Lin Yuanshan is going to hold an inauguration ceremony today, and at our current speed, it seems that he will not be able to catch up, so I can only hope that his inauguration ceremony will go well.
I don't know how long we walked, but when the pitch-black road under our feet suddenly turned golden, everyone realized that we had arrived in a new place.
These yellow ones are all metal, even a fool can see it, it's clearly gold!
The size of the cave hasn't changed much, but it's already quite staggering, and anyone who sees it will be amazed at the amount of gold.
Although money may not mean much to us, Lin Yuanshan will definitely be excited if he sees this scene, these things are simply a huge amount of financial support for the Cloud Gate that he has just taken over.
But now is not the time to think about that, even if we have the ability, we can't take much with us, and who knows how many unknown dangers there are in this mysterious space.
So we looked at it a few times and moved on, until the front suddenly opened up, and a ray of light appeared in front of us.
Everyone was taken aback at what we saw, and the reason why the road ahead was much wider was because we had come to a lake.
I think this huge area of water that can't be seen on the other side should be called a lake, and there is no seawater in the underground world.
The hazy light came from some creature or object in the water, and we couldn't see anything clearly because it was so far away.
Countless tiny points of light emit a milky white light, causing the entire lake to be illuminated, although we can't see the bottom, but we can feel the vastness of the lake.
"What the hell is this place?" Shen Qin, who has always been well-informed, was also blindsided, turned his head to look at us and asked.
If she doesn't even know, it's impossible for us to know, everyone looks at each other, and no one knows what to say.
After a while, I reacted first, saying oh no, we didn't see any forks in the road after such a long journey, but now we are blocked by this lake, where is the enemy?
"Did you go across the lake?" Lin Yue asked as he pointed to the distance.
It's not impossible, but how did they get there?
Could it be that we are thinking wrong, there are no people from Yun Lotian and Duan Ran here at all?
No, that can't be, the enemy has worked so hard to find this place, it's absolutely impossible that no one will come in.
I myself first rejected this idea in my head, but now the question is, if the enemy has passed, how do we chase it?
When everyone was worried, Lin Yue was curious to take a look at the lake, thinking that it was a miracle that such a big lake appeared in the underground world, but just when she was about to touch the water, she was startled by Su Che's loud shout!
"Don't move!"
Lin Yue shuddered and jumped up subconsciously, but his body fell in the direction of the lake, and he was about to fall into the water.
I knew that things were not good, so I rushed to her side, grabbed Lin Yue's arm, and dragged her back!
Lin Yue was a little frightened, patted his chest and glanced at Su Che and said, "You scared me to death, why are you shouting so loudly?" Is there something wrong with this water? ”
Su Che frowned, and said I suspected that this place was hell just now, and now I have figured it out, the road we walked just now is just an entrance, the real hell should be on the other side of the lake, this place seems to be a lake, but if I guessed correctly, this should be the legendary Sea of Oblivion.
The Forgotten Sea?
"What's that? Why can't Lin Yue touch this water? I looked at Su Che and asked.
He looked at us and explained with a wry smile: "I'm actually hearsay, when I was with him, he often told me some legendary things, at first I thought it was just him coaxing me to play, but now it seems to be true." ”
Then, Su Che told us what Wei had told him, the so-called Sea of Oblivion is the same as the legendary Meng Po soup in the underworld, but it is even more powerful here, as long as it is stained with that water, all the memories in the brain will be forgotten, and the whole person will become an idiot.
"Whether it's or not, we can't take this risk, not to mention if there is a way to get through here, even if there is a way, this water must not be touched." After Su Che finished speaking, he said to us.
Everyone had a cold war, especially Lin Yue, who suddenly turned pale when he thought that he had almost become an idiot just now.
"Let's look on both sides and see if we can find a way to get to the other side, if not, then let's wait here for the rabbit." Shen Qin said.
The idea is the same as I thought, if the other side is really the legendary hell, then it is better not to go, compared to the safety of my friends, I think it doesn't matter if the enemy spares them for the time being.
After a careful search, they did not see any tools that could float on the water, and finally they reluctantly gathered together to discuss how to wait for the enemy to return here and how long.
"Huh? What is that? Lin Yue inadvertently glanced at the surface of the water, and found something strange.
Everyone looked over and was surprised to see a small boat rowing over.
Although it was a long distance, we saw only one man in the boat, swinging the oars and paddling towards us.
Everyone was a little confused for a while, and simply forgot about what they had just said about waiting for the rabbit, and watched the boat get closer and closer to us.
It wasn't until the distance was less than ten meters that everyone finally saw the face of the rower clearly!
It was an old man with a white beard, wearing a straw hat on his head and a lily coat on his body, like a fisherman commonly seen in Chinese landscape paintings.
Everyone looked at each other, very puzzled by this old man who suddenly appeared, who was he? Why is it here, friend or foe?
The oars made a rattling sound, and the boat finally landed, and the old man waited for the boat to stop, and then looked at a few of us and asked, "How many people, do you want to take a boat?" ”
I was the quickest to respond, and immediately replied, "Sit, but who are you?" ”
The old man didn't care about my vigilance at all, stroked his beard and smiled: "I am the ferryman on this sea, everyone who comes here will ask me the same question, you don't have to be afraid, since you can get here, then you are destined." ”
He doesn't look like a bad guy with a kind eyebrow, but can we afford to take the risk? In case he capsizes the boat in the middle of the boat, won't we all be accountable?
Turning his head and looking at Su Che: "Is there really a ferryman?" ”
He shook his head with a wry smile and said I don't know either, what I know is hearsay, and it hasn't been detailed to this extent.
I knew I was embarrassed for him, so I turned to look at the old man and asked, "We can't ask you to help for nothing, do you need any payment?" ”
The old man shook his head and said that the remuneration will be waived, this is my duty, to send everyone who is destined to come here to the other side, for seven thousand years, I don't know how many people I have ferried.
7,000 years!!
Everyone stammered and looked at the old man with incredulous expressions.
"If we don't want to go over, is that okay?" After being shocked, I rolled my eyes and asked, wanting to test the old man's attitude again to see if he was a bad guy with bad intentions.
He smiled and said of course you can, that's your freedom, how can I force you?
Shen Qin stepped forward at this time and asked, "Old man, have you sent a few people to the other side before us?" ”
