Chapter 100: Eight Stone Pillars

(Finally enough to write a hundred chapters)

If you want to ask what is the most dead thing in an ancient tomb, it must be the living person used for burial.

"You mean a lot of people died here?" I pointed to the sea of flowers in front of me and asked Ali.

Ali nodded, and then used her foot to push away a small clump of crystal orchids in front of her: "Brother, take a look for yourself." ”

When Ali said this, I took a closer look and noticed that there was something white faintly visible at the roots of these flowers. I was taken aback, and I thought to myself, could this whole sea of flowers be a mass grave before?

Ali seemed to see what I was thinking, and nodded at me, "So, if we want to pass through this sea of flowers-" As she spoke, Ali squatted down again and picked a relatively large crystal orchid, and then handed it to me: "Come, brother, eat it." ”

I was stunned: "Eat it?" Wouldn't I rush inside again and go crazy? ”

"You're hooked because you smell its juices." Ali said, "There is no way for a normal person to resist the taste of the sap from the stem of the crystal orchid. When this juice evaporates into the air, it can directly affect the nerves of the person. As she spoke, Ali stretched the crystal orchid in her hand under my nose and said, "But if you feed on it, your body will become resistant to it." ”

He Tao nodded and echoed: "When you were fascinated before, we also wanted to rush in to save you, but Ali stopped us and let us each eat one of this thing before letting us in." ”

The fat man also said: "Otherwise, I guess we will be crazy like you." ”

I looked at He Tao, then at the fat man, and finally at Ali.

"Eat." Ali handed me the crystal orchid, "We've all eaten it." ”

I looked down at the crystal orchid in my hand. If it's just for me to eat a flower, then I definitely don't say anything. But the problem is that there is a problem with these flowers. Knowing that these flowers have to be sent to the mouth is not the same as knowing that there is arsenic in the hand and licking it on the hand****? I was a little confused and looked up at the fat man.

The fat man noticed that I was looking at him and nodded slightly.

When I saw that the fat man nodded, I was relieved.

I won't describe the process of eating in detail. Those who have eaten plantain hearts can imagine the taste of eating them raw, and the crystal orchid is similar to it.

After eating the crystal orchid, Ali asked me to sit still for a minute and wait for it to react.

I didn't know what this so-called reaction was at first. But after just a minute, a lot of light began to appear in front of my eyes. It's like setting off fireworks on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole world is colorful, and I am almost vomiting. Fortunately, this reaction came and went quickly. Three minutes later, the fat man helped me up and asked me if I was okay. I nodded, indicating that it was okay to walk in a straight line.

"Why don't we go around it?" I asked Ali.

Ali swept around with a flashlight and said, "I don't know how big this sea of flowers is. If we choose to go around it, it will only be a waste of time. ”

I groaned and didn't say anything more. At the same time, my brain began to ache. I don't know if the effect of the crystal orchid has not fully reacted.

What is it like to walk in this large area of crystal orchids? The crystal orchid under our feet is constantly trampled by us. This plant with a very high water content volatilized into the air after we stepped on it, and it was a strange feeling after asking. I've thought of countless words to describe this feeling, but in the end I found that none of them were appropriate. But if I have to put it in one sentence, it is that this smell makes me both inexplicably angry and inexplicably ecstatic.

But then again, I have to admit that after Ali let me eat this first crystal orchid, I needed this plant for a long time after that to relieve my pain. Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for now.

After nearly three hours of advancing through the sea of flowers, we have gone deep into the center of the sea of flowers. At this time, when we look back, we can no longer see where we were. And during these three hours, every once in a while, Ali would let us eat a crystal orchid. It is said that the effect of crystal orchid does not last long in the body and needs to be constantly replenished. Of course, the fat man, as a very vigilant person, will not be the first to eat. And when I was about to eat, he also hinted with his eyes that I would wait for Ali to finish eating, and we would eat again. (Reveal this in advance here.) Since I, Fatty, and Tao had never seen a plant like Crystal Orchid, I didn't know that there was a side effect of Crystal Orchid. And this side effect has a lot to do with what I just mentioned that I need it for some time to relieve the pain. ）

Continue to advance for an hour. Ali, who was at the head of the group, turned around and asked if we wanted to take a break.

The fat man looked around and smiled: "Girl, this place is very gloomy, let's go out and rest later, right?" ”

Ali looked at me and Tao and saw that we were also in favor of the fat man's idea. So he nodded and didn't say anything, and continued to take the lead and walk forward.

To be honest, if Ali hadn't told me the other name of the orchid and the conditions under which it grows, I think I would have agreed to stop and rest. But the problem is that now when I think of countless dead people's bones under my feet, no one will be in the mood to stop and rest, right?

I will not describe the whole process of passing through the sea of flowers in detail here. In addition to the concept of 'mass graves', it is actually quite poetic to walk in such a sea of snow-white flowers. However, this aesthetic can also be tiring. Later, I even began to dislike these white flowers.

At one time, I thought that this sea of flowers grew on top of a mass grave. Even if there were no rice dumplings or anything coming out of the ground, at least one or two white bones covered in black mud would appear. But when we successfully crossed this sea of flowers without danger, none of the things I fantasized about came true. This made me secretly rejoicing, but at the same time, a trace of dissatisfaction rose in my heart

After passing through the sea of flowers, there is still a particularly empty open space in front of you. It made me wonder how big the space we were.

Less than 200 meters further out of the sea of flowers, I found several very large pillars standing not far in front of me. And these pillars seem to be distributed around something. When we got closer, we realized that there were eight of them, and they were distributed in a very regular circle. And in the middle of these eight pillars there is a stone platform more than a meter high. On top of the stone platform is a particularly large black box. In my opinion, this should be a coffin. However, because the distance is still too far, it is not very clear to see. I thought I'd take a closer look. But when I walked in front of the pillars and was about to walk in, I was pulled back by the fat man.

"What for?" I asked the fat man back.

The fat man looked at me with a frown: "It's not the first fucking time you've been upside down, so you can't have a snack, and the cover is bright?" ”

I didn't understand and asked him, "I just want to go in and see, what's wrong?" ”

The fat man pointed to the nearest pillar: "See for yourself." ”

I looked up at the pillar and saw that it seemed to have words written on it. If you look closely, it seems to be a "death" word.
