Chapter 11 Departure
Su Bai smiled and said, "Contact Captain Ross, everyone is fine, and I have found the legendary ruins of the Yamatai Empire." In our Huaxia words, this is called a catastrophe and a blessing after not dying. ”
Laura shook her head: "Just relying on a record, it is far from enough to prove that this is the site of the Yamatai Empire. We need more and stronger evidence. ”
"Maybe." Su Bai shrugged, "But it's always good to be optimistic, isn't it?" ”
"None of that matters, what we need to do now is join up with Rose." Laura said.
"No, what we should do now is to have a good meal." Su Bai gently pinched the girl's shoulder, "Don't you feel hungry Laura?" Anyway, I can't wait to enjoy the delicious roast venison. ”
Laura was stunned for a moment and laughed: "You're right, Sue, we have to fill our stomachs first." ”
After filling his stomach with roasted venison, Su Bai set up a stand with a branch and hung a small pot full of water on it to boil the water.
Then the two of them sat by the fire and chatted with each other.
The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier, and in such weather, it is impossible to travel in the wilderness.
"I don't know when the rain will stop."
Laura sat next to Su Bai, holding her calves with both hands, looking at the vast expanse outside, stunned.
Su Bai paid attention to her expression, but did not see an anxious and anxious look. Obviously, this is what the voice meant by blurring everyone's concept of time. Laura doesn't feel pressed for time, nor does she have the idea of rushing over to meet Rose as soon as possible.
This is clearly a good fit for the game. As for the principle, Su Bai was difficult to understand, and he had no intention of delving into it.
At this time, Laura suddenly said: "There have really been so many things happening in the past two days, and in retrospect, before boarding the Stoic, the peaceful life in England seems to have become so distant and blurry. ”
"It's normal." Su Bai said, "When you leave this isolated island and return to your past life, you will feel like a world away when you think back to the present." ”
"After you go back...... Laura muttered, leaning her head slightly on Su Bai's shoulder, "I haven't thought about what it will be like when I go back." ”
Su Bai's body stiffened at first, but he naturally wouldn't be as helpless as Laura was when she took the initiative to hug him after escaping from the cave. Soon regained her composure, and her right hand naturally wrapped around the girl's waist.
"Do you still need to think about such a simple question?" "It's easy," he said in a relaxed tone, "you're going to be a rising star in archaeology." The discovery of the legendary ancient kingdom of Yamatai and the unveiling of the mystery of history to the world will be a great discovery that will shock the entire historical and archaeological circles. ”
Laura laughed: "Is this a prophecy?" ”
"That's right, that's the prophecy." Su Bai said firmly, "Then Laura, do you believe it?" ”
Laura was stunned, looked at Su Bai, and nodded slightly: "I believe everything you say." ”
Looking at those charming brown eyes, there seemed to be some kind of emotion in them. Su Bai lost his mind and subconsciously approached the delicate face of the girl in front of him.
Dancing by the bright flames, the two young faces were getting closer and closer like two magnets that attracted each other.
Just as he was about to fit together, Su Bai woke up and turned his head sideways: "I'm sorry Laura, I lost my temper." ”
"Sue!" Laura shouted.
Su Bai coughed lightly and changed the subject: "Laura, we have more important things now. ”
The girl was stunned, a trace of loss crossed the depths of her eyes, but she still nodded and said, "You're right, Su, we have more important things." ”
Su Bai sighed in his heart and said, "Laura, do you remember that hut in the valley just now? ”
"What's wrong?" Laura didn't know why.
"I found a shaft inside, and there was a tunnel underneath it. Due to time constraints, I didn't go into the tunnels to investigate. Su Bai said, "But I walked around the valley and didn't find any other exits. Therefore, that tunnel should be the only way out. ”
In fact, when he was exploring the valley, he also tried to find out if he could find some items in the game, such as locating secret treasures, remnants, and the like.
It's a pity that the reality is really different from the game.,After looking for a long time.,Except for finding some scattered small wooden boxes similar to the remnants of the game.,Found a bunch of basically useless rags from inside.,There's nothing.。
After listening to Su Bai's words, Laura thought for a while and said, "When the rain stops, let's take a look in the tunnel first." If it doesn't work, come back and find another way out. ”
"No problem." Su Bai nodded.
The rain continued unabated, and soon night fell.
Su Bai and Laura had to spend another night in this place.
With the experience of the previous night, Su Bai was basically sure that this place was the same as in the game, and there were no other dangers. So he didn't keep vigil any more at night, and after keeping the fire, he slept peacefully.
The next morning, when the two woke up, the heavy rain had stopped.
Seeing this, Su Bai couldn't help but complain: "Could it be that this island is only sunny in the morning, and the rest of the time is covered by thunderstorms?" ”
Laura said, "Maybe this is the spell of Queen Himiko, who is said to have a powerful spell ability to summon wind and rain. ”
What she didn't know was that her casual words were true. According to the setting in the game, the weather on this island is indeed caused by the spell of Queen Himiko.
Su Bai glanced at her, didn't say this fact, and changed the topic: "Let's go, don't bring things for the time being, go to the front to explore the way." ”
Naturally, Laura would not object.
The two of them walked towards the valley and came to the small fortress-like hut.
Standing on the edge of the shaft, Su Bai said to Laura, "I'll go down first, and you will follow." ”
"Okay, watch out." Laura nodded and said again.
"Don't worry, I've already gone down yesterday, and there won't be any problems."
Su Bai smiled at the girl and climbed down the iron ladder that was already covered with rust marks on the walls of the shaft.
A moment later, he approached the bottom, and the part of the ladder below was destroyed. However, this height is nothing, Su Bai jumped directly and landed smoothly.
"Alright Laura, come down."
Standing at the bottom of the shaft full of stagnant water and rubble, Su Bai raised his head and shouted at Laura.
Laura also followed the ladder down the shaft.
"Be careful, there's gravel on the ground, it's awkward to your feet."
When the girl was about to jump, he reminded him, and then stepped forward to help Laura, who had jumped down.
"What are these markers?"
Laura stood in the stagnant water, looking up at the symbols on the walls of the shaft.
Above the entrance to the tunnel, there is a white sun symbol, and on the right is a white drawing resembling a statue of a goddess.
"Isn't Queen Himiko called the Queen of the Sun? Maybe that's her portrait. Su Bai said, "Do you remember the evil sacrificial ritual we saw in the cave? The portrait on the wall is almost exactly like this. ”
