Chapter 14 A Glimmer of Life
Wait, Shidi, a glimmer of hope flashed through my heart, if this is really Shidi, then there is a way here.
I looked back and saw that the swamp here was really different from other places, although the swamp in this place had mud, the water on the mud was clear and shallow, and in some places I could indeed see that there was a bluestone road underneath.
I secretly thanked the gods and Buddhas in my heart, but I didn't expect that in this situation, I could actually survive in a desperate situation.
Thinking about the reason why I didn't dare to take a second look at the swamp just now, the main reason was that I was afraid of those transparent monsters, it was terrible.
Looking back, I found that this was also the clever part of the original design of this array, because there were monsters in the swamp ahead, so people would never have thought that there was a path in the swamp.
If you encounter those monsters here like this, it's very likely that you will be as desperate as the little brother just now.
It's no wonder that this place is called a place of vitality, that is, it leaves a glimmer of life for people, and it depends on whether people can catch it.
Although I felt like I was thinking a lot, it was only a momentary thing, and I immediately shouted, "Go this way." ”
As he spoke, he took the lead and ran towards the stone road, Brother Hong looked at where I was going and then at the monster, and immediately rushed over. The younger brothers in the back also hurriedly followed.
When I ran up the stone path, I remembered something, it was strange, wasn't there that transparent monster in the swamp? Why is there no one on this stone bridge?
But at this time, this idea was just a blink of an eye, and now I can't think of so much at all.
"Stop, stop." Brother Hong shouted in the back.
Damn, what are you stopping at this time.
Although I thought so in my heart, I still glanced back, Brother Hong and the others had already stopped and looked back.
I looked in the direction they were looking.
At this time, the huge transparent monster had stopped, and it was stopping in front of the stone path, but it didn't go up to the stone path, I don't know why.
The monster seemed to be a little afraid of the stone path.
Brother Hong let out a few breaths, and then said: "I'll go, it's finally safe, I really didn't expect that there would be such a broken thing in this broken place." ”
I smiled, now that it's safe, as soon as people relax, they naturally have the heart to think about other things, and I immediately joked: "Is there still this kind of broken stone road." ”
Brother Hong immediately said: "This stone path is not broken, I really want to kiss it." It's too timely, brother, so are you, just when it was the most dangerous, I found this stone path. ”
I smiled bitterly and said: "I can only say that our luck is better, just in this Duze position, if it is in another position, maybe the back is full of transparent monsters, and when the time comes, we will die directly as soon as we retreat." ”
Brother Hong immediately patted himself and said: "Yes, brother, you are really knowledgeable, you know what to come to find here, amazing, amazing." ”
I gave him a blank look and didn't speak.
The monster was there for about a long time, and it really didn't dare to take a step forward, so it had to slowly retreat.
I looked at this place, thinking that we would have to walk this road when we came back, and I didn't know if there was a way to get through this battle.
However, it was safe for the time being, and we walked along the stone path, which looked quite long, because it was surrounded by a swamp, and there was no ghost town in sight.
The stone path is very wide, so there is no problem for two people walking side by side, and there are no such transparent monsters on it, so we don't have to worry.
There are occasional bubbles in the swamp, and it is not known if it is biogas or what. We had to take a towel and dip it in some water on the stone road and cover our mouth and nose to avoid poisoning.
At this time, Brother Hong's mouth was not idle, and he asked, "Brother, why don't you say those transparent monsters come to this stone path?" ”
I shook my head, I don't know this, it wasn't written in the book at home, so I said, "I don't know, it probably means that there is a mutual restraint, this stone path is something that those transparent monsters are afraid of." ”
I saw Brother Hong wave with one hand, probably wanting to clap his hand, but because one hand was pressing his mouth and nose.
So it seems that this action is very nonsensical.
I shook my head and sighed, and said, "Okay, don't do so much now, and I don't know where this road leads?" Let's be careful. ”
Brother Hong smiled hesitantly and didn't speak, but he was really careful when he walked.
The road is also winding and winding, so while walking, you should pay attention to the soles of your feet, and do not go outside the road.
I don't know how long I walked, but the platform of that living place was no longer visible, and all around it was swampland, and if I accidentally stepped in, it was estimated that it would sink to the bottom in a while.
After a little further progress, I suddenly felt as if the swamp under my feet was flowing, and when I looked around, I saw that the water was slowly flowing towards one place, very slowly, but moving.
I stopped, Brother Hong, and they also stopped, and asked strangely, "What's wrong?" ”
I looked around and said, "Don't you think this swamp is moving?" ”
Brother Hong felt it and said, "It's a little, I feel like I'm stepping on the sea, it's strange, what's going on?" ”
I looked into the distance, and there was still a swamp ahead, and there was nothing at all.
Is it our delusion? But why do other people feel this way?
That said, I could only take one step at a time, and I continued to walk forward with a few people. Slowly, not only the flow of the feet, but also a slight sound, like the sound of water splashing on something.
It's strange, how can there be such a sound here, I look around, it's still a swamp.
But the feeling of the water flowing under my feet is getting stronger and stronger.
"Be careful." Brother Hong also felt it and said, "Let's all pay attention to our feet, don't get trapped." ”
As we walked on, the more we felt the stronger we felt, and slowly a place appeared in front of us that didn't seem to be a swamp.
I immediately reached out to my younger brother for a telescope.
From the binoculars, the place looked like an empty platform.
But it should be very low-lying, so if you look at the water in the swamp, it looks like it's all flowing.
And from here, you can't see anything.
"There's a situation ahead, let's go over." I immediately ordered, and at this time, even Brother Hong agreed.
We slowly approached, and slowly a huge city appeared in front of us.
Oh my God, it's the first time I've seen such an ingenious design.
To be honest, the city wasn't very ornate, but the key was its location, and it was a big low-lying area, and I think it should be called a basin.
There are swamps all around this small basin, but I don't know what kind of method the people who built the city used in the first place, and the muddy water from those swamps, flowing here, will form a huge turn, and then flow around the edge of this huge basin.
The flow that we just felt was for this reason.
The basin is very deep, and it feels like it is hundreds of meters high from top to bottom.
From our side, we saw a stone staircase leading down to the periphery of the city walls.
Looking at the city from above, the scale of the city is still very large, although there are some low bungalows inside, but the layout is very reasonable, from here to take the telescope, the streets are neat, although occasionally some ruins fall into it, but the whole still maintains a considerable integrity.
In the middle of the city, there is a huge castle-like structure, which is not very visible from here, but it is probably the largest building in the city.
"Wow!" Brother Hong stood next to me, looked at the city in the distance, and said in amazement: "Oh my God, who is this, so talented, to build a city here." Looking at the size of the city, there are no problems at all with 1,800 people. ”
I nodded, and that's true.
When I swept through the telescope, I felt that the architectural style of this city was very special, and I couldn't tell what dynasty it was, and I didn't study this, so I didn't look closely.
"Treasure City. Ghost town. I said softly: "It seems that we have arrived, your map is useful this time, this city is actually built according to the ten days and twenty-four days of Qimen, it is really amazing, from here, the builders of this city are really strong." ”
"What ten days and what hours?" Brother Hong obviously didn't hear clearly, and asked.
I smiled and said, "What you see on the picture is really true, but it's not as spectacular as what you really see." ”
Brother Hong looked at the city in the distance and nodded, he also agreed that the effect of this kind of seeing was really not something that ordinary words could describe.
Those little brothers were obviously stupid, and they would only silently not speak at this time.
I watched for a long time, and then I came to my senses, looked at the other people, and found that they were still looking at the city with straight eyes.
"Hey." I patted Brother Hong and woke him up.
"Huh? What's up? Brother Hong asked.
"Get your picture out. When you get to this place, you don't have to hide, I'll check it. "I immediately reached out.
Brother Hong took out the A3 paper from the inner pocket of his clothes, and I looked at it, damn, this guy also added a waterproof bag, which seems to be very well protected.
As soon as the picture opened, I looked at the city and immediately had some plans in my mind, where to enter, how to go, and where to go.
"How?" It was probably the smile on my face that reassured Brother Hong, and he asked with joy.
"No problem." I said, "The main thing is that there is this diagram, so it's easy, I've found the route." Just follow me. ”
"It's amazing." Brother Hong immediately stood up, looked at the city in the distance, and shouted, "Baocheng, I'm here." ”
This sound is very loud, and in such an open place, it should be able to travel far away.
I smiled wryly, when was it, still like a child. But as soon as he finished shouting, a roar came from the city.
The sound seemed to be the cry of some kind of beast, but I had never heard that terrible sound.
