Chapter 32: The Waterfall
He stood in flames with his hands in his hands, and behind him was the corpse of a huge monster that was slowly melting. There was a cold smile on his face, and his eyes flashed with fire.
Eerie flames and hideous corpses form a background of ancient mythology, desolate and tragic. And the man standing in the middle of the middle and not knowing what to ponder is like a handsome god looking down on all beings. is obviously a ruthless and cold expression, but it gives people the illusion that he is pitying all beings.
Xia Beifeng calmed the angry sparrow on his shoulders before raising his head to look at his master.
Ye Baiyu came back to his senses in an instant when Xia Beifeng's gaze fell on him. He squinted his eyes and nodded towards Xia Beifeng, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he smiled very reservedly and with a little pride.
His expression at this time looked very bad, and he almost held up this sign and wrote the words "Come and worship me". But without the oppressive and heavy aura that he had just pondered, it seemed to fall from the divine realm to the human world all of a sudden, which made people feel a lot closer.
"Why didn't you use it sooner if you have an ultimate?" Xia Beifeng, who was not affected by the strange atmosphere at all, complained to Ye Baiyu.
The smile on Ye Baiyu's face froze for a moment.
"It takes so long to read a fireball, Master, you can't do it."
Ye Baiyu's body shook slightly, and he made a move to hold his chest and resist the desire to vomit blood.
"Did you talk to Master like that?" He shouted at Xia Beifeng: "And you open your eyes to see if this is a fireball!" What's wrong with the reading strip, you're awesome, you can also read a strip and put a big move! ”
The sparrow raised his head suddenly, and looked at Ye Baiyu who was standing on the water and jumping to teach his apprentice a lesson. She was stunned for a moment, a look of disdain flashed in her eyes, and she lowered her head again to arrange the feathers on her wings.
Xia Beifeng touched his nose. Although he was being scolded with his head down, he still couldn't help but smile happily.
The carcass of the strange snake soon turned into sewage completely. It merged with the river, and there was not even a bit of bone residue left, and it floated away along the water.
The flames on the surface of the river gradually narrowed as the body of the strange snake sank into the water. Until the end, only a small circle of dark blue flames remained around Ye Baiyu's side.
The tongue of fire **** the corner of his clothes, and never hurt him at all. It's like a child who is spoiling his parents.,Rubbing around beside him.。 And in the river under the flames, something was swimming in circles around Ye Baiyu.
It looks like a few fish with long tails, with translucent bodies glowing with a faint blue light, like illusory shadows under the sparkling water lines.
It's almost exactly the same as what Yue Yao drank last night, but it's just that it's bigger and I don't know how many times.
Ye Baiyu took a step forward, tapped his toes on the water, and turned around in mid-air. Jumped on the rock where Xia Beifeng was standing.
The "fish" behind him seemed to be frightened by something the moment he left, and quickly scattered and fled, disappearing into the river in a blink of an eye.
Xia Beifeng raised his hand and handed the knife in his hand to Ye Baiyu.
Ye Baiyu waved his hand at him, whistled at the sparrow, and walked over from Xia Beifeng's side.
"You take it first, and if you come across something in a moment, you will rush forward with a knife."
"Hey......" Xia Beifeng shouted at Ye Baiyu's back.
Ye Baiyu ignored him. Without looking back, he jumped on the rock a few times, and jumped directly to the river bank on the other side.
Xia Beifeng shrugged helplessly. He glanced down at the long knife in his hand, and the messy hand holding the handle of the knife, frowning and tangled for a while.
The white cotton cloth on his hand was wrapped in several thick layers, and it was very ugly, but it tied a beautiful bow on the back of his hand.
Xia Beifeng looked at the bow for a while, and his brows stretched a little. In the end, he shook his head and laughed.
He gestured a few times and wanted to insert the knife into the carabiner hanging on his backpack, but in the end he gave up this idea, still carried the knife in his hand, turned his head and jumped onto the river bank with Ye Baiyu.
"Turn on the flashlight." Ye Baiyu walked in front, waiting until Xia Beifeng jumped onto the riverbank. Said slowly.
"Oh......" Xia Beifeng lowered his head and took out a flashlight in his bag, looked up and asked Ye Baiyu, "Is it okay to turn on the flashlight now?" ”
"No problem. It's been such a big scene just now, and those who should have known that we were here have long known that we were here, and now it's not a big deal to turn on a flashlight. ”
Ye Baiyu suddenly turned around as he walked, pointed to something at his feet, and said to Xia Beifeng: "Look, they just came out of here." ”
Xia Beifeng turned on the flashlight and shone in the direction of Ye Baiyu's finger.
There was a small crevice in the rocks on the bank of the river, and as the river swayed, it occasionally revealed a circular cavern of unknown depth below. The diameter of the cave was not large, but it was just enough to accommodate the bodies of the strange snakes.
"What the hell is that?" Xia Beifeng shook the flashlight a few times, but still didn't see the depth of the cave, and turned back to Ye Baiyu and asked, "It shouldn't be a demon, and there is no vitality, why do I look like some prehistoric creature?" ”
"It should ...... That's it. Ye Baiyu looked up at the top of the high cave and chuckled: "Maybe this mountain god likes to collect specimens of rare beasts and put them in his own home to watch and play." ”
Xia Beifeng didn't speak, he took the flashlight, took another look at the round hole under the water, raised his hand to shine on the road in front of Ye Baiyu, and quietly followed the person and walked forward.
The cave was quiet again, and there was no sound for a long time except for the small sound of the two of them stepping on the sand on the riverbank.
"I don't know what happened to Yue Yao and Su Yang." Xia Beifeng opened his mouth and said, "I was suddenly a little worried that they would fight. ”
"It should be fine." Ye Baiyu replied very uncertainly, lowered his head and thought for a while, and added, "It shouldn't be...... In short, there will definitely be no death. ”
Xia Beifeng once again felt that he was speechless, so he had to lower his head and turn on the phone screen and take a look.
"There's someone over there." He said with some surprise.
"Hmm......" Ye Baiyu snorted like a toothache, and glanced back at Xia Beifeng's mobile phone screen indifferently.
"Living or dead?"
"Both." Xia Beifeng raised his head. Tell Ye Baiyu seriously, "And Yue Yao is also there." ”
"Which Yue Yao?"
"Both."
"What did you say?" Ye Baiyu also shouted in surprise, took out his mobile phone from Xia Beifeng's hand, and looked down at it.
The screen of the mobile phone was very dim, and only a faint figure could be seen.
Between the dense coffins where many "people" knelt, a circle was encircled, and they kept kneeling and kowtowing in the same direction.
Only a woman in a brocade dress stood quietly in the middle of the crowd. She didn't look at the "people" around her who kept kowtowing. Always looking down at a coffin lying horizontally beside him.
Yue Yao was lying on the coffin lid, wearing a men's T-shirt, revealing her two long legs. He closed his eyes tightly and crossed his hands on his chest as if he were asleep.
Of course, it is also possible that he is dead.
Ye Baiyu frowned and observed Yue Yao on the mobile phone screen, and after looking at it for a while, he turned around and handed the phone back to Xia Beifeng.
"You turn it up and see if she's still alive?"
"I should be alive." Xia Beifeng said and zoomed in the camera, carefully observed Yue Yao's chest for a while, and then continued: "It seems that there is still breathing...... It's just that the complexion is not very good. Probably going to freeze to death. ”
When he said this, he had already turned down the screen of his mobile phone a little, and he was observing Yue Yao's legs.
Her legs were a strange blue glow in the pale, and they looked especially terrifying in the dim light, almost like a dead person.
"I'm still alive!" Ye Baiyu raised his head and sighed, and his tone was very low: "Then we have to save her, it's really troublesome." ”
Xia Beifeng: "......"
He didn't know how to answer this sentence for a while.
It seems that you can say anything, but it doesn't seem to be right.
So he had no choice but to smile at Ye Baiyu, and honestly shut up and looked at the phone screen.
The sparrow flapped its wings twice.
Xia Beifeng tilted his head to look at the sparrow on his shoulder, and anger flashed in the bird's round eyes. Staring at his phone screen.
Xia Beifeng immediately turned off the screen of his mobile phone and smiled innocently at the sparrow.
The sparrow turned its head away. Look at him no more.
How did Yue Yao come here, and why did she lie on the coffin COS Sleeping Beauty.
Are Su Yang and Zhanfeng still alive, and if they are alive, are they safe now?
Does the female zombie want to eat Yue Yao or not?
And the mountain god in this mountain...... His purpose is still a mystery to this day......
Xia Beifeng kept thinking about these questions while looking at Yue Yao, who was lying quietly on the coffin on the mobile phone screen.
He glanced up at the swaying back in front of him.
Intuition told him that Ye Baiyu should know all these things, but for some reason he just didn't want to ask.
And Ye Baiyu, after hearing that Yue Yao was still alive. I didn't ask any more.
It seemed that it was enough for him to know about it.
Xia Beifeng's mind turned for a while, and finally came to a result that had nothing to do with these things.
"Master, in fact, you came for this mountain god in the first place." Xia Beifeng looked at Ye Baiyu's back and asked.
Ye Baiyu didn't speak.
But the sparrow on his shoulder turned his head again. He nodded lightly at Xia Beifeng.
Xia Beifeng smiled approvingly at the sparrow, and continued: "Actually, there is no demon who is about to be born at all, you are here to seek revenge, right?" ”
Ye Baiyu's movements paused. He turned his head and glared at the sparrow fiercely, before slowly spitting out two words.
"It's not."
Xia Beifeng looked at him in disbelief, as if he had heard some big joke.
Ye Baiyu glanced at the expression of the person behind him with a side face, and suddenly felt a little stomach ache.
"Am I that kind of person in your mind?"
"Yes."
Xia Beifeng did not hesitate at all, and answered as a matter of course.
Ye Baiyu was silent for a long time when he heard this, and then spoke again.
"I suddenly felt ...... What a failure I was as a human being. He looked back at Xia Beifeng, and his fingers moved lightly twice before he smiled and continued: "Even the apprentices I taught myself dare not listen to me...... It seems that I really don't discipline you too much. ”
Xia Beifeng's intuition was not good, and he just wanted to take a step back. I felt something flash in front of me. Before he could remember his reaction, he felt a burning pain in his eyes after the light flashed.
"Hmph." Ye Baiyu stood aside and sneered, looking at Xia Beifeng who was covering his eyes, and seemed to be in a very happy mood.
The pain came and went as fast as it came. In just a dozen seconds, Xia Beifeng couldn't feel the pain.
It's just that the tears still can't stop pouring out.
Xia Beifeng wanted to reach out and rub his eyes with his sleeve. I thought about it just after soaking in the water for a long time, and I don't know what was on my clothes. It is estimated that if you wipe your eyes at this time, you will be blind if you are not blind.
He looked hard at the rocks above his head, trying to stop the tears that kept flowing, and secretly cursed Ye Baiyu for being mad.
The sparrow jumped twice on his shoulder, jumped to the ground, took shape, and handed him a handkerchief.
"Thank you." Xia Beifeng said and took the handkerchief and covered his eyes.
The sparrow stood in front of Xia Beifeng. Looking up at him wiping his tears, he didn't know what he thought, and then turned around and glared at Ye Baiyu fiercely.
"Ouch, yo, yo......" Ye Baiyu called exaggeratedly: "I said that you have all grown up, right, you will be disobedient when you grow up, right?" ”
The sparrow stuck out his tongue at Ye Baiyu, turned back to Xia Beifeng and asked, "Xiaobei, are you okay?" ”
Xia Beifeng wiped away his tears, waved at her, and returned the handkerchief to her.
Ye Baiyu stood aside alone, shaking his head and sighing.
"Alright." Xia Beifeng lowered his head and smiled at the sparrow as if comforting, "It's okay." ”
"It's okay, let's go." Ye Baiyu didn't wait for the sparrow to speak. directly interrupted the conversation between the two of them and whistled at the sparrow. He smiled and said, "Please ask the little beauty to go to the front and help us see the way." ”
The sparrow's uneasy gaze turned between Xia Beifeng and Ye Baiyu.
"There you go." Xia Beifeng said to her seriously: "I'm really fine." ”
The sparrow nodded hesitantly, glared at Ye Baiyu again, and then turned into a bird and flew away.
Xia Beifeng looked at the back of the sparrow flying away, shook his head a few times, and saw that the three birds gradually merged into one, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"What do you see?" Ye Baiyu asked lightly.
"Leyline ......," Xia Beifeng frowned, recalling the scene that passed in front of him just now. I closed my eyes and drew a map in my mind: "The place where the leylines converge is the place where the coffin is placed...... What the hell does this mountain god want to do? Zombie farms? ”
"Who knows?" Ye Baiyu chuckled: "It's good to ask if you see it." ”
"Yes." Xia Beifeng nodded and stretched out his arm at the sparrow that flew back.
The sparrow landed steadily on his arm, tilted his head to look at Ye Baiyu, and then lowered his head and combed his feathers.
"Let's go, it's going to be dawn after a while." Ye Baiyu nodded at the sparrow. Then he turned and strode forward.
After taking two steps, he turned around again, and saw that Xia Beifeng was still staring at the sparrow, and urged again: "Just hurry up, that zombie girl is waiting for us in front...... How can you be willing to let the beauty wait for a long time! ”
When Xia Beifeng heard this, he immediately followed.
In the gloomy cave, two men were walking along the banks of the underground river. The river flowed quietly, sometimes hitting the rocks on either side of the riverbank, making a slight sound, but most of the time it was silent.
The sparrow was bored by itself, sometimes flying into the air and spinning twice, sometimes landing on Ye Baiyu's shoulder, and sometimes landing on Xia Beifeng's shoulder. The two of them let her play like this, only to say hello when she flew away, and the rest of the time they were completely laissez-faire.
As for Xia Beifeng and Ye Baiyu, they have been moving forward quickly. They each thought about their own business, occasionally exchanged two sentences, and after a question and answer, they shut up and walked again.
The two of them walked along the river bank for more than ten minutes, and faintly heard the sound of huge water.
"There's a waterfall ahead." Xia Beifeng said and took out his mobile phone, and once again looked at the picture transmitted by the drone hidden in the corner.
"They should be in the cave below the waterfall."
Ye Baiyu quickened his pace, took the lead in turning a corner, turned back to Xia Beifeng and said, "Water Curtain Cave, they are quite good at playing." ”
Xia Beifeng trotted two steps, also turned the corner, and stood beside Ye Baiyu.
At this point, there was no way forward under the feet of the two of them, and instead there was a huge waterfall.
The river that had been gentle suddenly became fierce here, and suddenly increased the speed of its flow at the bend of the river. The turbulent water swirled and fell into the pool below the waterfall, splashing a large white splash and stirring up a wave.
The two of them stood quietly above the waterfall for a moment, looking down at the water below.
"How are we going to go down?" Xia Beifeng asked Ye Baiyu.
