Chapter 107: Treasure Map
Tai Sui relied on a breath of true qi to stabilize his body to prevent being blown away from the cliff by the increasingly violent wind.
Now he kept half an arm's length away from the cliff, so that he could immediately grab the stone wall and stop the fall when he was about to reach the end.
This abyss is too deep, and Tai Sui doesn't know how long he has fallen, only that since a long time ago, the speed of descent has not changed.
The wind resistance pressing on his chest had reached a delicate balance with gravity.
Gradually, Tai Sui got used to the strong sound of the wind lingering in his ears, and also to the cold air that kept pouring in from his neckline and cuffs.
He held the lamp and shone into the darkness.
Most of the surrounding area was only dense darkness, and only the stone wall beside him was illuminated by the light.
Before, Tai Sui thought that this stone wall was naturally formed, until he found that the stone wall had been kept straight and smooth, there was no slight tilt in the process of extension, and there were no raised rock nodules or sunken wind erosion caves on it, and he gradually confirmed that this stone wall was definitely artificial.
Something that is naturally formed is unlikely to be so regular.
At this time, Tai Sui looked at the stone wall by the light, and could vaguely see pieces of blurred shadows, due to the speed of falling too fast, at the beginning, Tai Sui could only see some blurry outlines that flashed quickly, but as his eyesight gradually adapted to such a speed, Tai Sui also generally saw that the appearance of those shadows was very similar to human figures.
Not a black shadow, but a flesh-colored shadow.
It is as if inside the translucent stone shell, a large number of corpses are sealed.
The corpses were neatly stacked in rows, according to different sizes, and distributed in different areas of the stone wall.
Tai Sui could clearly see that these figures were arranged in a centralized manner according to different sizes.
After a while, similar figures no longer appeared, and the stone wall seemed to change from translucent to completely opaque, and when the light hit it, the reflection was not as half-real and half-virtual as before.
After that, I don't know how long it was, until for a moment, Tai Sui saw the light coming from directly below, and knew that he was almost at the end, so he swung his fist at the stone wall.
With a rapid crackling sound, half of Tai Sui's arms were chiseled into the stone wall.
After that, he slid nearly twenty meters on the stone wall, which was like a plywood cut by iron nails, and a twenty-meter-long hole was torn by Tai Sui's arm.
When the fall stopped completely, there was only less than a foot of distance left in the soles of Tai Sui's feet.
At the bottom of the abyss is a tranquil backwater pool, where the wind sweeps across the surface of the water, but it cannot blow half of the surface of the water.
Tai Sui looked back at the stone wall that had been chiseled by himself, and found that it was a complete piece of basalt, with a very hard texture and opaque.
But the shadows that appeared in the stone wall just now were by no means hallucinations, and the rock formations that were similar to amber were also real.
"Don't rush down just yet."
The Thief Saint suddenly spoke.
Tai Sui asked casually: "Didn't you faint, when did you wake up?" ”
"It's been a while."
While responding, the thief took out the iron ruler from his backpack and handed it to Tai Sui: "Dip into the water and take a look, probe half." ”
He was still trembling when he spoke, and it was clear that he had not yet been freed from the fear of falling.
Tai Sui took the iron ruler and poked half of the ruler into the water.
Wait a moment and nothing happens.
After that, the thief handed over a soft ruler, which seemed to be made of leather-like materials.
Tai Sui probed half of the ruler into the water as usual, and after a few moments, nothing happened.
The thief nodded: "It doesn't seem to be corrosive, let's go into the water." ”
It can be seen that when it comes to searching for dragons and exploring tombs, the thief is indeed a veteran, and Tai Sui can't think of testing whether the pool water is corrosive, not only Tai Sui, but anyone who has never been on the ground is difficult to have such vigilance.
Tai Sui carried the thief saint into the water, and then swam in the direction of the stone wall.
When swimming in the water, Tai Sui always felt that the pool of water was lifeless.
It was a strange feeling, as if the pool of water was completely dead, and according to common sense, it should have been alive.
That's right, but most of all water is alive, not that there is consciousness in the water body itself, but that water can give birth to life, even if there are no fish and vegetation in a body of water, there must be microorganisms thriving in it.
But right now, the water feels like even the microorganisms in it are dead.
What makes Tai Sui even more uncomfortable is that the water in this pool has a slight oily texture, and when he swings his hands and feet to move forward in it, he feels that his skin is a little oily.
That would give a sense of nothingness akin to a fist hitting the air.
Endless darkness, claustrophobic, like emptiness, in such an environment, the sense of nothingness is an extremely unpleasant feeling, because it will be infinitely magnified and magnified by the environment......
In the end, you will even doubt the reality of this world, whether you are real.
After a long time, when Tai Sui kicked his legs, he felt a hard resistance under his feet, and the strong sense of nothingness disappeared in an instant.
That one leg of resistance means that Tai Sui is finally going to land.
After walking down the steep slope that was submerged in the water, Tai Sui finally brought the thief saint to the tidal flat.
Crunch – crunch –
Stepping on the tidal flat, which is made of a large number of pebbles, makes a noise, and when you step down, you can step on a clear mark in the pile of rocks, and the touch on the soles of your feet is hard but very loose.
Tai Sui stopped and glanced at the area where the light could illuminate it.
The tidal flats are as if they had been stained with blood, and every pebble is bright red.
The thief untied the chain and jumped off Tai Sui's back.
Tai Sui frowned and said, "This place is really like a blood prison. ”
The thief saint groped for something in the backpack with his backhand, and said: "Every pebble here has been soaked with the juice of the other side flower, you should have heard of the other side flower, and some people call it Manzhu Sahua?" ”
Tai Sui shook his head.
It didn't take long for the thief to pull out a leather scroll from his backpack, and when he unfolded it, it turned out to be a rather rough map.
"What did you get?" Tai Sui asked.
The thief saint replied without raising his head: "The map of the underground library, on this bloody beach, it means that we have officially entered the realm of the underground library." ”
Tai Sui leaned over and carefully looked at the map in the thief's hand, and found that this map was not only sloppy, but also seemed to be incomplete, and many structures were fragmented.
Without Tai Sui opening his mouth to ask, the thief took the initiative to explain: "This map is a treasure map passed down from generation to generation by Rousseau and his family, and the content drawn is most of the structure of the underground library. Because the painter's pen is very sloppy, it took me years to understand it. Well, where we are now, right here. ”
