Chapter 162: Yellow Springs
The fire burned bigger and bigger, and the surrounding tree walls were all lit by the fire, and they fled in panic.
Gu Yunqi, who was originally surrounded by trees, watched as he slid and fled quickly from the big tree, and when he looked at the emptiness around him, a breeze blew, sweeping away the leaves on the ground, and the surroundings were desolate again.
"Are these trees still alive, how can they still move on the ground?"
Hearing Gu Yunqi's words, Tong Sheng didn't answer, just shook his head.
Returning to the right path, after experiencing the siege of the strange trees just now, Gu Yunqi and Tong Sheng were one hundred and twenty points more careful.
Almost every step you take must be vigilant to see the situation around you before continuing to move forward.
Although the trip is much slower, it is more important to be safe.
Passing through the open space, rolling over the hill in front of you, you should be approaching the altar.
Gu Yunqi thought so in his heart.
"Look, what's under that hill ahead."
Tong Sheng pointed to the bottom of the hill, stopped, and looked ahead with a solemn expression.
Gu Yunqi stretched his neck and raised his eyes to look into the distance.
It was a little dark in the shadow of the hill, and it was difficult to see the situation over there, except that something seemed to be flowing somewhere, with the occasional refracted light.
"It's water, it's supposed to be a river."
Gu Yunqi looked ahead and guessed.
Tong Sheng nodded. Didn't talk, but quickened the pace.
It is a happy thing to have a river, and since entering this desert island, I have not drunk any serious water.
In the passage, red mud is used to satisfy hunger to obtain water.
Now that there is a river, that is to say, now there is water to drink, and maybe there will be fish to eat.
Gu Yunqi also quickened his pace, and followed Tong Sheng towards the direction of the river.
Soon the two came to the bottom of the hill.
A river seven or eight meters wide with no end in sight appeared in front of the two of them, blocking their way.
The river was calm, there were not many waves, and there was no sign of flowing, the river was more like a lake, and the water under the river was even more dark and unfathomable.
When Gu Yunqi and Tong Sheng carried them on their backs, Eleven and Lao Zong came to the river and looked at the calm lake.
Gu Yunqi couldn't suppress the hunger and thirst in his heart, put Eleven on the ground, and ran to the river, ready to hold water to drink.
He didn't care about anything else, but took the water into his mouth and drank it.
It is true that this water is fresh water, but after drinking this river water, I always feel strange, the river water has a temperature and a slight bitter taste.
Gu Yunqi can't care so much now, thinking that his mouth has eaten soil in the past few days. So I continued to drink water.
After Tong Sheng put Lao Zong on the ground steadily, he also came to the river, ready to bend down and prepare to drink water.
But when he saw the water clearly, his nerves tightened, and he hurriedly grabbed Gu Yunqi.
"Don't drink it, this river is not right."
"No, isn't that just an ordinary river?"
Gu Yunqi thought like this and was about to ask Tong Sheng, but Tong Sheng dragged him back to stay away from the river.
He didn't understand what was going on, but when he saw Tong Sheng's serious expression and panicked expression, he knew that Tong Sheng was not joking.
followed the child's drag and quickly retreated.
On the surface of the river, a white mist slowly floated out, and the mist increased quickly, and the river surface suddenly bubbled, with large blisters, the size of a bowl.
Then the whole river was blistered like this, and the river was like boiling water in a pot, but now the whole river was boiling.
Gu Yunqi and they withdrew at a distance of ten meters, and there was a bang on the surface of the river, and the water splashed, and the water sprayed out of the river. Stirring up a splash of water for tens of meters, the water splash shoots like a blooming flower to the shore.
Gu Yunqi was taken aback by this movement, looked back, and just saw this scene, he was shocked by the scene in front of him, and forgot to continue to retreat.
The splashes of water shot far away, and some of the water droplets sprayed onto Gu Yunqi's body.
"Hot, hot, hot"
Gu Yunqi retreated in panic when he was scalded by the river, this water is boiling, it is hot water.
Then the surface of the river continued to bang and thump, as if someone was firing a cannon in the river.
Fortunately, after being sprayed with boiling hot water, Gu Yunqi ran far enough, otherwise he would be scalded into a molting pig by this boiling water, ready to shed his hair.
"What kind of river is this, and how can it explode? It can also be boiled. ”
Gu Yunqi looked at Tong Sheng in shock.
Tong Sheng didn't look at him and replied directly
"Yellow Springs."
Hearing this name, Gu Yunqi's heart trembled, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
"What's that? Yellow Springs, Yellow Springs, just kidding! Isn't this yellow spring unique to the underworld? Is there also in this world? ”
Tong Sheng held back a glance at Gu Yunqi,
"How do you know this is the Yang Realm? Maybe we've already entered the underworld when we set foot on this island! ”
"This ......"
Gu Yunqi was speechless by Tong Sheng's words, how can he say this clearly, this desert island is indeed very strange, the things experienced here are too many impossible, it has become possible, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is in the underworld, after all, no one has been to the underworld, who can say it clearly.
Tong Sheng saw that Gu Yunqi didn't speak and fell into deep thought, and the corners of his mouth rose and chuckled.
"It would be nice to read more books, forget it!! I'll explain it to you! This yellow spring is the name of the ancients for the river in front of them, not the yellow spring of the underworld, but this river is also because of the imagination of the ancients of the yellow spring in the underworld, thinking that this kind of river is the yellow spring.
This river, the underground should be underground lava, and the river water seals the lava spill. But after the lava has fallen silent, it always erupts, and the scene just now was formed by the lava explosion.
The lava eruption at the bottom of the river evaporates a large amount of water vapor, and the water temperature rises, and the water vapor is ejected, releasing the pressure at the bottom of the water, counteracting the lava eruption.
At the time of this eruption, the water in the river was several times hotter than the boiling water, and if it was just a few seconds at night, we would have been steamed by the river water, and we would have to be scalded half to death by the splashed hot water. ”
Tong Sheng gave Gu Yunqi a clear explanation of the source of this yellow spring, how it was formed, and the degree of danger.
However, Gu Yunqi only heard one thing, that is, he is not dead, he is still alive in the yang world, and this is not the underworld, which is enough.
"Ao, understand, understand, then this Yellow Spring is so dangerous, what should we do, this river seems to run through the entire desert island, if you don't go to the river, I'm afraid you won't be able to go to the side where the altar is made."
"I can't go to the altar! I'm afraid I can't even get out of this desert island. I could see the topography of the hill clearly, and the red earth was half-encircling, blocking most of the island, and it seemed that if I wanted to find a desert island, I was afraid that I would have to cross the river. ”
Tong Sheng understood Gu Yunqi's words, and combined with the situation he saw on the hill on all sides, he analyzed and added.
Only then did Gu Yunqi know that it was not the purpose of going to the altar, but that there was no way out here. 166 Reading Network
