When they came to the stone steps, everyone stood still, looking at the strange stone steps with curious eyes, trying to find out the difference between it and other stone steps, so as to judge the future journey. It's a pity that no matter how much we look at it, we can't find it different.

After a long time, Xing Ying finally said out loud: "Don't look for it anymore, I think it's better to keep going." ”

Salia nodded, I have to say that I can't find the slightest clue, and I and the fat man seem to be a little unwilling, but the unchanging fact is already destined to be here.

Eventually, I suggested, "Since it's come to this point, we can only practice it with action, but I think you should jump two steps directly on the next mountain path, so that you can directly reduce the number of times you step on the entire stone steps, and the chance of hitting the trick will become one-third, what do you think?" ”

"Well, that's it," the fat man exclaimed without thinking, as if he had thought of this solution.

After making a decision, the four of us began to walk towards the unfinished stone steps above, and each step would cross two empty stone steps, so that the four of us walked all the way to the 456th stone step, and finally there was a "click" sound, and we all felt that our feet slipped, and the whole gray stone staircase once again became a forty-five degree parallel plane, carrying us quickly towards the foot of the mountain below.

Since we had all prepared the sticks for a long time, it didn't hurt us much if they slipped off this time, until a thick layer of skin flakes rubbed off the outside of the sticks. We all landed safely and returned to the foot of the mountain again.

Despite being protected by wooden sticks. The direct and rapid slide down also caused a lot of shock to us, and everyone rolled together.

The fat man pushed me away from me, who was lying on top of him. yelled: "Oh, why is it endless, when will I be able to climb up..."

The fat man of the sea shouted endlessly, but the second daughter of Xing Ying turned over and stood up like a cunning rabbit, and her eyes were always on the secluded and deep mountain road. After a while, Salia spoke up: "It seems that we have to spend time here in a short time, who will go first?" ”

"Isn't there a better way?" Xing Ying said thoughtfully.

The second daughter said, looking at me in unison, and the meaning was obvious. That is: Ichimoru, what do you think?

I shrugged my shoulders noncommittally, and said helplessly: "I think the same as you, but let me first state that my mind is not very good, and I can't remember how many stone steps I have walked underneath. ”

Seeing that the three of us didn't know what we were talking about, the fat man on the side stared at me and asked, "Yishou, what are you talking about?" Why can't I understand a word? ”

I saw the fat man of the sea and asked him vigorously, it was really annoying. So I put everyone's thoughts out. That is, the four of us took turns to climb the stone steps, using the most primitive method to try to record which stone steps had problems one by one, and then we could go to the top of the mountain.

Sure enough, I just told the fat man about this method. He was immediately possessed by the Oscar winner, and began to pretend to be sick, touching his chest for a while and pointing at his waist for a while. In short, where there is no disease, he said that he was a medicine jar.

Faced with the sea fat man's contrivedness. Salia snorted coldly, and didn't talk nonsense. He picked up the wooden stick on the ground and walked towards the end of the deep and long stone steps, and experimented with himself. Xing Ying didn't fight, but sat cross-legged and cultivated, preparing for the next one.

As men, I and Hai Fat Man retreated behind the scenes, which is really unreasonable, but we can't overcome our vanity, and finally give up the dignity of men, after all, why do we have to embarrass ourselves.

After about twenty minutes, Salia successfully slid to the ground from top to bottom without any accident, and when Xing Ying stepped forward to ask, she learned that she had reached the 572nd stone step.

After getting the accurate number, Salia began to rest, but Xing Ying hurriedly stepped up the stone steps and climbed towards the top of the mountain, where there was still a long way to go.

This time, Xing Ying took significantly more time than Salia, and it took half an hour before she slid down from top to bottom, which showed that she was not tired.

The same thing, the second daughter is doing it repeatedly, and I can't bear to see it, and several times I want to stand up and say loudly to let me come, but unfortunately I don't.

The cycle is gradual, and after the unremitting efforts of the second daughter, the entire long stone steps have been thoroughly explored, and a total of nine strange stone steps have been found.

This number is still two-thirds of the result of skipping the stone steps, and if you add up the entire stone steps, there should be at least thirty strange stone steps. It can be imagined how much the person who cast the stone steps didn't want people to climb to the top of this mountain.

Seeing that the minesweeping mission was over, the fat man began to live again, and he couldn't stay for a moment after coveting the liquid of eternity.

However, in a hurry, only Xing Ying and the second daughter know how to walk the stone steps up the mountain, which can't help but make me and Hai Fatzi very passive, and finally have to obediently ask her what the two masters mean.

In the face of the whispered inquiries of the two of us, Xing Ying advocated that it was not too late to recover her strength before going up, while Salia was much more ruthless, saying that she had to let the two of me go up on my back, otherwise everything would not be discussed.

In desperation, I was responsible for carrying Xing Ying, and the fat man was very reluctant to carry Salia, so the four of us began to slowly march towards the top of the mountain.

Sometimes when the back is tired, I stop and rest for a while to continue to carry, if it weren't for the second daughter of Salia who came down and climbed by herself, I'm afraid the four of us wouldn't be able to climb the top of the mountain before dark!

The top of the mountain is not as beautiful as we imagined, there are no pavilions, temples and palaces, and there are no legendary gods to live in, there is only a desolation and a huge sinkhole, and nothing else.

It has to be said that the mountain we are on is the highest mountain on the whole island, and as far as the eye can see, we can remember the places we passed along the way, all the way to the steamer on the shore.

After retracting our gaze from afar, we also looked at the environment on the top of the mountain. Looking around, the entire top of the mountain seems to have been cut off by some sharp blade, and some weeds have grown scattered on it, showing the tenacity and stubbornness of their vitality.

Speaking of the huge sinkhole, it can be said that the center of the entire mountain top is occupied, and we can only stand on its periphery and walk around.

With the help of the fact that it was not yet completely dark, we could see that several thigh-thick chains extended into the hole around the edge of the sinkhole. It's pitch black inside, even with a strong flashlight, you can't see the end of it, and no one knows how deep this sinkhole is?

We all guessed to each other that the sinkhole in front of us was the place where the Liquid of Eternity was hidden.

Seeing that it was getting dark, we finally discussed staying here for the night, and then entering the sinkhole along the chain early tomorrow morning to find the legendary eternal liquid that can live forever.

In order to cope with the long night that followed, the four of us decided to take turns standing guard and sleeping, after all, no one knew that it was safe to sleep at night.

I slept with Xing Ying's team for half the night, and Hai Fat Man and Salia slept for half the night, always vigilant for changes and oddities that might occur at any time. (To be continued......)
