Chapter 34: The Castle in the Sky (3)
I really can't remember what kind of enmity this monster had with Liu Shi, recalling the time when the three of us have been dating, it seems that I hurt it even more.
At this time, Liu Dongxi called me from above, I jumped up to discern the direction, and saw Liu Dongxi poking his head out of a tree hole to look at me.
There is a very sleek hole in the trunk of the tree, which is not small enough to stand. I asked Liu, "What now?" ”
"Do you still need to ask? Go in, of course! Liu Dongxi said and let go of his body, revealing the hole behind him, I walked over to take a look, the tree turned out to be hollow, and countless aerial root-like things ran up and down like an elevator shaft. I looked down, only to feel a hot and humid air current, black underneath, bottomless.
Where does this place lead? I asked Liu Shi, "If you go in, you can get out?" Liu Dongxi nodded and said, "It should be possible." ”
I was not very relieved, so I asked him, "How do you know you can get out here?" Is it written in the notes? ”
"I'm not sure either, but at least someone has walked through here." Liu Dongxi pointed to the ground, I looked down, there was a small fly grabber on the ground next to the elevator shaft, I was going to take it, Liu Dongxi hurriedly stopped: "Don't move, it's rusty and can't pick it up!" ”
I looked at him strangely, and felt that he was a little nervous and excessive, even if it was rusty, what if I took it? It's not a museum artifact. Looking at Liu Shi's appearance, it is very unusual, he is familiar with this way, but he claims that there is no record in the notebook, could it be that he has been here a long time ago?
Liu didn't explain, looked at the flying claw carefully and said, "We don't need this thing, we can go down by grabbing these roots." "Then you have to go down.
I was about to stop and question him, but I saw several bloody wounds on his body, especially a piece of flesh torn off his arm, which looked extremely miserable and made my heart soft. Liu Dongxi has taken good care of me along the way, and if he hadn't been for him several times, I probably wouldn't have survived now. I hesitated, Liu went down smoothly, I didn't think much about it, turned on the flashlight of the police officer, hung it on my chest, and climbed down.
At this time, the gravity on the body was already very small, but it was still necessary to grasp the speed of those air roots to control the fall, and it was very skillful in a few strokes, but the sudden acceleration and stopping shook the headache.
The inside of the cave was very hot, and in the dim light of the flashlight, you could see that the surrounding tree trunks were covered with aerial roots, winding in a strange and beautiful way, like the sulcus of the cerebral cortex. Thinking like this, I felt that the more I looked at it, the more it looked, and I even felt the faint thinking of electric light flashing along the ditch, and I couldn't help but think that I had entered the mind of this giant tree.
The two of us were constantly leaping through the depths of the universe like spaceships of interstellar travel, and I heard different voices ringing in my ears, sometimes like in the wilderness, sometimes like on the side of the market. As the altitude dropped, the body became heavier and heavier, and later had to hold on tightly to the aerial roots and slowly climb down.
I don't know how long it took, but I felt like I had climbed at least a few thousand meters down, and in this mechanical crawling, the pain and exhaustion of my whole body erupted deeply and surrounded me. This feeling reminds me of the experience of walking in the dark in that mountain cresmet, but the difference is that there is no more fear at this time, and after all that is experienced, all that remains is the desire to survive.
Finally, my feet touched the ground, and I looked up to see that the hole I had entered was completely invisible, and it was pitch black overhead.
I held up the police tong and looked around, and there was still those sulcus like aerial roots, and there was a hole on the right-hand side.
Liu and I hurriedly ran over, this hole also grew from a tree, very similar to the above, but much deeper, we turned a few corners, walked a hundred and ten steps, and there was a light in front of us.
When we came out of the cave and looked around, we had reached the very bottom of the mountain space, surrounded by rocks, and not far away there was the sound of gurgling water, and countless thick tree roots were meandering and circling on the ground, and we came out from under one of the roots. Overhead was a rock, and the turquoise trunk of the tree came out of it, and I don't know how high it had grown.
We walked straight forward, found a small stream, washed the dirt off our bodies, drank some water, and each picked a stone to sit and rest. Neither of them spoke, one was injured along the way, and he was so tired that he was about to die, and he had no spirit to speak. Another is that so many things have happened along the way, and I really don't know what to say.
I was thinking about finding my way, and my eyes were wandering around to find some clues, when there was a faint light above my head, and the mountain walls on all sides were barely visible, and I couldn't even see the shades of color. Just as I was about to give up, I suddenly saw what seemed to be a door on the mountain wall in the distance.
I'm very excited, this door is probably the way out, I just wanted to point it out to Liu Shi, but after thinking about it, I forced the words back, I always have a feeling that Liu Shiwu knows everything here, but he has been hiding it from me, and after he got the pill, it seems that he is becoming less and less serious about covering it up. I won't tell him about this, I'll see how he reacts.
I had made up my mind, and I rested peacefully, and my stomach seemed to be overly hungry, and the pain and exhaustion in my body slowly turned into a warm sleepiness that enveloped me......
At this time, I was woken up by Liu Dongxi, and when I opened my eyes, I found that I was lying on the ground, Liu Dongxi said: "Brother An, you can't sleep now, we may both have internal injuries, so we can't walk the next road after sleeping." ”
I agreed to get up, looked at Liu Shiwu and said, "Then hurry up, don't waste time." ”
Liu Dongxi nodded and stood up, and walked in the direction of the gate, and when I saw that this guy really knew how to go, I didn't say anything more, so I followed him.
This road is very easy to walk, although the ground is also full of rocks, but after all, it is stable and calm, neither of the two people spoke, I have been staring at Liu Shi's back, I feel that between my gaze and his back, there is something condensing.
I didn't think it was like anything before, but when I walked to the front, I found that this door was so huge, roughly estimated to be more than ten meters high, the surface was simple and smooth, and the material was not gold or stone, which was completely different from the rocks around me.
It would have been impossible for the two of us to open such a huge door, not to mention that the lower half seemed to be buried underground. But I don't know why this door is not closed tightly, leaving a small gap, just enough for one person to enter.
There was silence all around, and I walked over carefully, trying to keep my feet from making a sound on the gravel.
The crack in the door was extremely deep, and it was so dark that there was no bottom in sight. I looked back at Liu Shixi, he was in a daze with his head back at this time, and I didn't know what he was looking at, I followed his gaze and looked up, and was suddenly shocked by the wonder in front of me!
