Chapter 18: The Crystal Prophecy
When we got closer, we found that the images were intermittent and there was no sound. Although it is not very clear, it can basically be understood:
The first image shows a pair of hands holding a hide with something map-like on it. Then, on the side are a few hands pointing at it.
The second picture is: I hugged my aunt and cried, and I couldn't see what was wrong with my aunt. Suddenly, I looked back, and then I was pulled away.
The third picture is: our group of people, running desperately.
The fourth picture shows a large ship rushing forward in the wind and waves.
The fifth picture is: Duoduo is in a place that looks like a prison cell, and his eyes are extremely resentful......
At this point, the image in the crystal ball suddenly disappeared. Immediately after that, there was no light.
I jumped up and shouted, "Duoduo! Toto......"
In a frenzy, I'm going to rush to that crystal ball. The old ghosts were taken aback by my sudden move, but they reacted quickly enough, and hurriedly grabbed me and said, "Fang Yu, what are you doing?" ”
"Spread out~!" I hysterically tried to break free of the old ghost and Adams holding my hand, shouting, "Toto! Don't you see a lot of them? ”
"Can you calm down?" The old ghost pushed me to the ground and said angrily, "It's not just you, we've seen her too!" It's not something you can do in a hurry. We've got to figure out how to get out first! ”
"Fang Yu, are you okay?" Lisa hurriedly came over to help me, and then shouted at the old ghost, "Can't you talk about anything properly?" Don't you know he's not fully recovered? ”
was pushed by the old ghost like this, and I was also suppressed by him. Slowly calmed down, only to realize that I was indeed out of shape. When I got up, I felt a faint pain in my back. It may be that they have been stuck in this hole for a long time, and everyone seems a little impatient. When the old ghost was told by Lisa, he also felt that his strength was indeed a little bigger. As soon as I was about to say something to me, I immediately waved my hand to indicate that it was okay.
I got up and wanted to check the crystal ball again, but Lisa hurriedly pulled me and said, "Fang Yu......"
"Don't worry, I'll just check it again." I said immediately.
Seeing that I was calm, Lisa let go of her hand and let me pass. Then, a few of them followed me up to see what was going on.
When I looked closely, I noticed that the water in the pool had risen. The crystals were submerged in the water again, and then there was no light, no image. It turns out that my aunt said "the water will come out, and you will see it", which is what it meant.
I was about to splash the water out of the pool, but I noticed that the moonlight was drifting to the edge little by little. After a while, the pale moonlight became weaker and weaker. In the end, he took it and disappeared into the roof of the cave. The cave was back to its previous appearance, and it was pitch black.
With a "bang", Lisa struck a match.
I was not prepared for this sudden light, and I was not used to it, so I blocked my eyes with my hand. By the time she put it down again, Lisa had already lit the torch and the surroundings were bright again.
"What now?" Lisa asked.
I looked at my watch and it was already the second half of the night. Then he said to them, "Well, rest first, and then I will look around." ”
"I can't sleep either?" The old ghost said, "Let's go together." ”
Others chimed in. As soon as I saw that everyone was not sleepy, I quickly asked the old ghost to take out the animal skin that had been taken from the dead man's body and study it.
We took the torches and checked them up and down, left and right, but there was still nothing. It doesn't make sense! Could it be that the picture in the crystal ball is just an illusion?
At this moment, Adams suddenly said: "On the picture I saw just now, the animal skin seems to be wet, and it seems that it is still dripping underneath!" ”
The old ghost didn't think about it, and immediately pressed the animal skin into the water, and soaked it in the water for a few seconds. Then, he took it out again, and Adams immediately shone it with a torch. However, nothing has changed.
Later, I thought about it, no, I should have looked at it with my back to the light. Adams immediately placed the torch behind the hide. Suddenly, a maze diagram appeared on the animal skin!
I hurriedly took the small notebook on the old ghost's body, and according to the picture, I started to copy it.
In this way, Adams took a torch and shone it behind him; The old ghost holds the animal skin with both hands; Pamela and Lisa, I, were pointing, analyzing the picture. Under the hide, water was still dripping.
My scalp suddenly went numb, isn't this the picture in the crystal ball just now? Could it be that those images are crystal prophecies?
I couldn't help but feel a wave of excitement. Because, if those pictures were prophecies, I would still be able to see my aunt! Duoduo is still alive now!
However, then there was a wave of worry: what happened to my aunt? And for some reason, I abandoned my aunt. Although Duoduo is alive, it seems that he is imprisoned. No, I have to hurry.
Thinking of this, I immediately sped up the speed of the strokes in my hand. Soon, the picture was copied.
"Ouch, my dad alas! You're finally done. As soon as I finished drawing, the old ghost put down the hide, slapped his arm, and said, "I'm tired!" ”
I didn't have time to pay attention to him, so I hurriedly lowered my head and studied the maze diagram. Lisa and Pamela immediately gathered around and studied with me. Under the collective discussion of everyone, I gently followed the route with a pen. In a short time, a clear route was presented on this map.
Sure enough, as I had previously judged, the entrance was the hole on the right. Seeing this, the old ghost immediately took out his compass. Without a moment's delay, we began to act according to the guidance of the chart and the compass.
The structure of the cave is extremely complex, and we walked extremely carefully. One moment to the left, the other to the right. If you are not careful, you will enter a dead end or a dead loop.
With the diagram guide, our progress is much faster. In less than an hour, almost half of the journey had already come down. Considering that there were two girls here, I stopped and asked everyone if they would like to take a break and have something to eat. Everyone sees that with the exit and route, how can they still rest. If you want to eat, let's eat while walking.
Nothing to say all the way.
Along the way, I felt like I had been turning around, and I was going down. After another almost an hour of travel, we were finally close to the exit shown on the map.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for me to vaguely see a not-so-bright hole in front of me!
We quickened our pace excitedly, and we even ran towards the hole. But just when he was about to reach the entrance of the cave, Adams in front of him suddenly made a "sudden brake"! The man behind us didn't have time to stop, and we didn't expect him to brake suddenly. By inertia, they pushed and bumped into each other......
Suddenly, there was a shout, and sparks flew everywhere. Several people fell to pieces, and torches fell to the ground, splashing clouds of sparks.
The old ghost was so angry that he opened his mouth and scolded: "You damn Yankee, why did you see a ghost?" Why stop suddenly? ”
Adams stammered, "I ...... You...... He...... Ahead, the ghost has ...... Horrible ......"
When the old ghost heard this, he was even more angry, and immediately said angrily: "What a point! ”
I didn't expect to be so provoked by the old ghost, and Adams spoke smoothly. Immediately said: "Ghost! There are ghosts ahead! ”
Hearing him say this, we hurriedly looked towards the entrance of the cave. I found that not far from the entrance of the cave, there was indeed a black figure!
I hurriedly took out a flashlight, shone it over there, and couldn't help but shout: "Auntie! ”
