Ziyang woke up in a daze from a coma, feeling a splitting headache, his forehead seemed to be cut by a knife, and he didn't know if it was blood or filth when he touched it with his hand.

Ziyang wanted to sit up, but found that his whole body hurt hotly when he moved. It seems that his arms and legs are injured, and he bumped and bumped in the passage just now.

Looking up, I found myself lying in a dirt pit, looking up, and saw a hole a few meters above my head, which should be the passage they had just fallen down from.

Fortunately, it is not very high from the ground, otherwise you will be crippled if you fall down.

What about Jin Guoqiang? Zi Yang suddenly remembered that he fell down with Jin Guoqiang, and when he touched the rope on his waist, he found that the other end was empty.

"Lao Jin?!" Ziyang shouted in panic.

"Shhhhh

"There's something up there!" Jin Guoqiang prostrate on the ground and pointed to the side.

Ziyang grabbed the edge of the pit with his hand, looked out, and saw that on the wall of the cave more than ten meters away in front of him, there was a huge flower hanging, the stem of the flower was more than one person high, the thickness of the bucket, and the color was bright red, like an upside-down pig cage - it was the giant flower that emerged in the sarcophagus before.

Beneath the flowers, there are purple-leaved gentian python-like branches that twist and stretch across the walls. Looking into the distance along the branches of the purple leaf gentian, Ziyang not only opened her mouth wide in surprise.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that the scene in front of him was real.

In the distance is a huge underground space, and the place where Ziyang and Jin Guoqiang are located is the edge of the cave.

This underground cavity is the size of a dozen football fields, large at the bottom and small at the top, in the shape of an inverted cone. The highest dome is at least a few hundred meters above the ground.

The walls of the cave were covered with purple-leaved gentians, thick vines and bright leaves spreading up against the cave walls, growing to the top of the dome, and huge gentian flowers were scattered among them.

The ground is covered with a layer of moss-like flowers and plants, which are very short and verdant compared to the huge purple-leaved gentian, emitting a faint fluorescence, reflecting the entire canyon like a woodland under the moonlight, making people feel like they are in a fairyland.

Zi Yang squatted down and looked at Jin Guoqiang with his mouth open, everything that happened in front of him was like a dream, too unreal.

Jin Guoqiang was much calmer than him, and pointed to the center of the canyon below, "When you were unconscious just now, I observed it from a distance, we guessed correctly before, the root system of these purple leaf gentians is concentrated there—the light over there is not the same as other places, do you see it?" ”

Zi Yang got up and looked in the direction pointed by Jin Guoqiang, only to see that there was a circular high platform in the middle of the canyon below, and the high platform was shrouded in a layer of blue-purple light mist. What's even more surprising is that there are several purple-leaved gentian tree rhizomes near the pedestal, which are thicker than the ones they saw before, like a prehistoric python entwined, magnificent and beautiful.

It seems that all the branches of the purple-leaved gentian tree spread out from that side, spreading from the ground to the dome, gradually branching and branching, becoming thinner and longer.

Zi Yang squinted for a while, then suddenly turned his head to look at Jin Guoqiang and said, "Strange...... There seems to be a person on the other side of the platform! ”

Jin Guoqiang also got up, observed carefully for a while, and wondered: "I didn't see anyone, are you dazzled?" ”

Ziyang rubbed his eyes and stared at them for a while.

Here is two or three hundred meters away from the high platform, Ziyang's eyesight was already a little short-sighted, and he was a little hesitant when Jin Guoqiang said this, "Yes, it is possible, maybe the purple-leaved gentian tree inside is moving." ”

Jin Guoqiang lay on the edge of the pit, staring at the high platform silently. Ziyang sat on the ground, his back against the pit wall, and suddenly felt a little disheartened.

With such a huge root system, even if they could get close to it smoothly, I am afraid they would not be able to destroy it in one fell swoop. From here, the thickest rhizome was at least 1 or 2 meters thick, and the only C4 explosive they had left could blow up at most, but there were at least a dozen of them entrenched nearby.

Thinking of explosives, Zi Yang suddenly realized one thing, "By the way, where did Su Rui and Ah Chong go?" ”

Jin Guoqiang shook his head and said: "I didn't see it, I fell in a daze when we rolled down just now, and I didn't have time to see the road, they may have taken another passage." ”

Ziyang raised his head and scanned the cave, the terrain here is slightly higher, the flatter the bottom of the canyon, standing here you can see most of the canyon, but the closer to the edge, the steeper the terrain, and the strange rocks, fortunately the place where they fell is relatively flat, if you fall on those stones, you will inevitably have to rot your intestines.

"Why don't we go find them?" Ziyang hesitated.

Jin Guoqiang said: "They may be in a corner, the area here is too large, and it will be difficult for us to complete the search for a while, so it is better to go to the high platform at the bottom of the cave first, and they will come over to meet us when they see us." ”

Zi Yang nodded, he was more worried about what happened if Ah Chong and Su Rui entered a passage that led to another place and fell into another space...... In such a strange underground, nothing is impossible. If that were the case, they would never see each other again.

"Pack up and get ready to go, check the dzi stone first." Zi Yang touched his chest, the string of dzi stones was still there, and he was secretly glad that he was not left in the fall just now, otherwise it would be difficult to move an inch in this hole full of purple leaf gentian.

Jin Guoqiang returned the Night Pearl to Ziyang, the fluorescent brightness of the vegetation in this place was enough for them to see their surroundings clearly, and they no longer needed additional lighting.

Ziyang stood up, although his whole body was still in hot pain, but fortunately, it was the flesh and skin that were injured, and the muscles and bones were fine.

Jin Guoqiang pointed to the side and said, "Let's walk around from here, there are relatively few purple leaf gentians here." ”

Ziyang carried Jin Guoqiang on his back and walked slowly, looking down at the ground as he walked, stepping on the fluorescent vegetation, leaving shiny footprints one by one, stirring up dots of purple fluorescence, and after they left, the ground slowly returned to normal. Ziyang felt in a trance that he was walking above the starry sky.

As he walked, Ziyang slammed into a dandelion-like plant under his feet, and a fluorescent cloud on the top of the plant suddenly dispersed into countless stars, flying around him, reminding Ziyang of the time when he was a child chasing fluorescent insects at night.

Jin Guoqiang was not in the mood to appreciate this, he nervously lay on Ziyang's back, his eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

Although they had a dzi stone to protect themselves, the two of them were still careful to avoid the places where the purple leaf gentian was relatively dense. Occasionally, one or two of them really can't be avoided, and when they approach, they will automatically curl up and retreat slowly, as if there is an invisible barrier around the two of them.

"Do you feel hot?" Ziyang walked for a while, his head was already sweating, and he felt hot all over.

Jin Guoqiang said apologetically: "I'm sorry, am I too heavy?" ”

"I'm not kidding you, I'm sweating all over my body!"

Jin Guoqiang sighed, "Don't say it, it seems to be true, I didn't realize it just now, the temperature in this cave is at least twenty or thirty degrees!" ”

The two of them were still wearing down jackets when they were climbing, and they were already dirty and unsightly when they rolled all the way, and some places had been torn open, revealing the feathers inside.

Zi Yang took off his down jacket and wrapped it around his waist, carried Jin Guoqiang on his back and continued walking, and suddenly remembered something: "You said that this underground is so hot, could there be an active volcano or something nearby?" ”

Jin Guoqiang didn't answer him, reached out to cover Ziyang's mouth, and whispered "shhh

Ziyang stopped, raised his head and couldn't help but feel creepy.

Above them, a huge gentian flower hung down, just a meter above their heads. Unlike other stems, the opening of this gentian flower is closed, and something seems to be wriggling inside the huge stem.

Ziyang was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, and wondered in her heart, why did this gentian flower look like it wasn't afraid of the two of them?

Suddenly, an old voice in the shadows said softly: "Be careful not to move, this flower is not afraid of dzi stones!" ”

Someone next to you!
