Chapter 48: The Great Hall
Professor Xia lowered his voice and said, "Shi Yuan didn't have any explanation for us, so he jumped off the pool.
"We were all stunned by this, what kind of pool is it, it is like a colloidal condensed on the ground, swallowing Fuyuan alive."
"Ahh I was amazed, "And such a miraculous thing." ”
"Well," Professor Xia nodded, "It was an era when information technology was not developed, and in the face of such an unheard of strange thing, our group hesitated for a long time.
"However, seeing that Shikito has disappeared like this, we judge that there must be a hole under this pool. Fuyuan jumped down, and we also plucked up the courage to jump down one by one. ”
"And then......" I asked.
As for what Professor Xia said, I speculate that under that strange pool is the magical valley. However, when he said this, there was no trace of joy in his expression, but a pale face.
"I remember that one by one we fell down the cliff and fell on a spider web...... "Professor Xia said this, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, "I have never seen such a big spider web, its silk is as big as hemp rope." ”
When I heard this, I thought that there were such huge spiders living in this valley, and I couldn't help but swallow my saliva and asked, "Have you seen the big spider?" ”
"Nope!" Professor Xia said, "The spider's web is already broken, and it is estimated that the spider that formed the web has abandoned the web."
"Otherwise, there would be no one like me in this world now."
"That's right," I nodded silently, "what about Fuyuan?" ”
"Fu Yuan," Professor Xia frowned, "he wasn't so lucky, he fell from there and hung on a tree, causing one of his ribs to displace slightly. ”
......
Except for Professor Xia's statement that after the group jumped from the strange pool, fell into the valley, and narrowly encountered a giant spider web, the rest of the story seemed uneventful.
As a result, I seem to be sleepy again.
Maybe he was too involved in the play, and he didn't notice the little act of dozing off at all—he was talking and pretending to ask me, but I was all saying "um", "yes", "incredible"......
Until—
When Professor Xia said that there were ten person-high stone monuments in the woods, I was completely sober.
However, while his words, which were filled with a lot of strange information, refreshed my mind, he said that he was tired and fell asleep on the stone table.
Seeing that he was sleeping so deeply, I stood up and sniffed hard, trying to find out where the intoxicating scent of flowers came from.
I looked around and finally fixed my eyes on the cliff opposite.
There were clusters of verdant plants, pink flowers between their leaves, each shaped like a fist, with petals spiraling on top of each other, and the leaves were oval.
Seeing this, I tried to remember what kind of subject this flower belonged to, but my knowledge was always too limited to find a similar plant to be associated with it.
The fragrance of the flowers is very strong, and the range is very wide, and the distance between us and the cliff is at least 50 meters.
The most amazing thing is that those petals "cry blood".
The drops of blood-red liquid on its petals are particularly eye-catching, and they cling to the petals like dewdrops.
Ben is so far away, I shouldn't be able to see this detail clearly, maybe I think it has something to do with my own special ability-
When my night vision disappeared for a while, my pupils would shift and I could see as far as I could see, far or near.
Perhaps, this is related to the sudden change in my pupil and the adjustment of the focal length.
When I chose to look away for a moment, a familiar figure appeared in the square below, dragging its long tail—no, it was the two leopards that followed the mysterious man.
Seeing this, I hurriedly went to shake Professor Xia: "Uncle Xia, wake up!" Work started. ”
After he was pushed and shouted by me, the first thing he said was: "Say that you are far away......
He was still immersed in the story, so I interrupted him: "Uncle Xia, let the story go first, you see, who is that." ”
He followed the direction I was pointing, then turned his head and exclaimed, "Sen, when did that person appear, and how long have I been asleep?" You didn't wake me up. ”
As soon as Professor Xia woke up, he saw the figure of the mysterious person, and he seemed a little at a loss.
"As soon as I saw him coming, I woke you up. Didn't you say you were tired just now, I thought that you were already tired along the way, so let you rest first. I said, "Just, you see, what is this man doing here?" ”
"It's not going to be a walk, is it?" Professor Xia said.
Indeed, from the shallow pace of the mysterious man, as if floating on the ground, and the staggering of the two slender leopards, it did seem like they were taking a leisurely stroll—or rather, they were full of food and drink on the compacted ground.
"No kidding, Uncle Xia. The identity and status of this mysterious person, from the perspective of our modern people, is tens of thousands of yuan in minutes, is he so bored to go for a walk? I wondered, "Maybe he wants to come and get something, or give someone an account of his work—look!" He's heading for the main hall! ”
"Sen, then we might as well go down and have a look." Professor Xia proposed.
"Well," I said after a brief thought, "then let's move smaller, in case we get caught, it's hard to get out." ”
"Sen, he can only see you, if you are caught, I will find a way to save you." Professor Xia hypotheticed.
"Oh......" For such an upright Professor Xia, I can only stop making more remarks, and let him understand it with a "oh".
......
"Sen, where did that man go?" As soon as we came down, the mysterious man disappeared, Professor Xia asked me in confusion.
"He went into the great hall," I said, "and though we were a step late when we came down, I noticed that his robe was mixed with the crack in the door, and he shrank in. ”
"Yes, the observation is quite detailed." Professor Xia patted me on the shoulder and exclaimed.
......
We crept towards the doorway, careful not to cause unnecessary trouble. However, because of this, I tried my best to pad my toes and cramped.
"Hey, Sen. Why is there no movement in it, are you dazzled, maybe it's the hall next to it? Apparently they are so close together. Professor Xia whispered.
"Can't be wrong, although the height of these halls is not far apart, the patterns on the doors are very different, so I'm sure it's this one." As I spoke, I listened quietly with my ear to the door.
"Uncle Xia, there is really no sound inside, perhaps, I believe that a needle falling from it can be heard." I whispered.
"Could it be that there is a mystery in this, that this hall is just a façade, and that it was built to serve as an entrance to another place?" Professor Xia was suspicious.
"Well," he guessed, as I expected, "so let's open the door and find out?" ”
"Okay!" Professor Xia said, "Then this time I came, the mysterious man can sense you, if he is there, we can also get out of the way...... bar. ”
"Right"?
It can be seen that Professor Xia still seems to be a little afraid.
