Shaoyi looked at the scattered dead fish at the bottom of the dry lake, and said expressionlessly: "It's terrible, it's just one night, the huge underground dark lake has disappeared, let's go to the big karst cave to have a look......"

The Great Cave is even more terrifying than the Dark Lake, and almost all the stalactites are broken at the same height, as if they have been hit hard by some powerful external force. What was originally a source of vitality is now as dead and silent as hell...... There is nothing left except the broken wall of stalactites, no wind, no "mysterious sound".

......

The world outside the two of them out of Sanssouci Cave is no longer what it was before, and the whole world is covered with a thin layer of "yellow veil" gray, and the world is the same color.

"Do you remember the state of Old Man Ding and everyone before we left the village?" asked Gugu worriedly, looking at the changed world in front of him.

Shaoyi didn't answer, just nodded slightly, turned around and returned to Sanssouci Cave.

He sent the thin book back to the cave and placed it where Goo had found it. Just as Shao Yi left the cave, an unsettling roar came from the depths of the earth, and the ground began to tremble violently as the sound came out. Some crumbling stalactites broke instantly......

Seeing Shaoyi reappear in front of her eyes and cooing like a treasure, she handed Chiyan to him and asked, "What happened?"

The frightened Shaoyi replied, "It must be that guy again...... We must hurry back to the village, only the village chief and the elders can tell us what lies deep underground. ”

"What's that?"

"I don't know, isn't it a lazy dragon?!"

The two of them left Sanssouci Cave and plunged into a world that seemed to be about to end the world, and the world seemed to be covered by a "cauldron lid", which was suffocating.

The Frozen Creek had dried up, revealing deep cracks, like a black scar extending down the mountain. A few wisps of pale yellow smoke roll out of the bare pebble crevices of the Surabaya Spring, dissipating at the end of the line of sight.

The condition of the birch forest was even more dire, and the whole forest seemed to have been enchanted, and all the trees were dried up, and they looked sick. Like a black spider web, leaf veins are attached to each leaf.

Shaoyi stabbed the trunk of one of the birch trees with his Shaokang sword, and dark sap flowed out of the wound. He grabbed a handful of snow foam and wiped the contaminated Shaokang sword, "It seems that we have to divert to the most difficult eastern front, we can't get past this birch forest......"

Shaoyi looked at the forest in front of him, which was dragged down by the miasma, and then spoke:

"The Eastern Front is not easy to walk, but I am familiar with it. Besides, the 'Shanba Gong' may be able to tell me what is going on underground. ”

To the east of the northern edge of the birch forest is a narrow gravel strip. Each of these gravels is the size of a millstone, and its edges and corners can be discerned even when covered in snow.

Huge gravel piles on top of each other to form a flat "stone henge".

It seems that every boulder is extremely unstable, and with every step, the boulder under your feet will hit the boulder next to it with a nervous "clang" sound.

Shaoyi plucked up the courage to walk ahead, and several times he almost slipped into the gap between the boulders, but was rescued by the silver fir wood in his hand. Soon Goo Gu saw the doorway, "Don't covet the boulder with your feet, move faster and jump up." ”

Finally got out of the "stone henge" before nightfall...... The light was getting worse and worse, and everything here changed dramatically, and the less one could no longer tell where they were born, and finally he could only tell by the strong, pungent smell of burning that he might be near a volcano.

"What I encountered two years ago was an extinct volcano, could it not have awakened?"

"Then we can't stay here tonight. Although Coo was tired, she said it seriously.

Four hours after they left, a terrifying roar was heard behind them, and the shockwave sent by the sound shook a loose rock off a nearby cliff. The rocks "jingle bells" took a while before stopping.

Then there was silence all around, and a pungent stench of burning hung over the valley.

"Strange, not quite right!?"

Shaoyi asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"There was no noise at all, not even a bird was startled......

"Why did you stop?"

Goo raised his finger to Shaoyi to signal to be quiet. She quickly removed her thick gloves and picked something up from the rocky cliff.

As soon as Shaoyi saw that what Gu Gu was holding in his hand was a silver hair, a whirlwind swept the silver hair away.

Goo left Shaoyi and chased after him alone......

The wind was getting stronger, and the fresh snow on the ground was rolled up. Goo saw that the silver hair was swallowed by the wind and snow and disappeared, and he had no choice but to give up after several attempts to no avail.

"Poof—"

"It's it, it must be it......" cooed to himself, turning around excitedly...... A pair of fiery red eyes were staring at her in the wind and snow, and the clean and immaculate silver hair wrestled wantonly in the wind......

......

The sky had just dawned, and Shaoyi, Gugu and Bai You had not yet walked out of the withered rainforest. The stench of the tall and luxuriant plants of yesteryear was not found along the way, but not a single animal or insect carcass was found. There is no doubt that Bai You is the last animal in the Lonely Mountain area, and when he thought of this, he cooed and hugged Bai You in his arms.

Looking at the sky that was worse than the day before, remembering that parting was Geng Ding's depressed mood, and his worries about the big weir river became heavier and heavier.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in Baiyou, and even Coo couldn't calm it. Then there was a deafening roar, like the sound that Shaoyi heard in Sanssouci Cave, and like the sound of all the boulders in the "Stone Henge" crashing together.

The gray sky turned dark, and the rolling dark clouds spread from north to south.

Bai You jumped out like an arrow from the string, and Gu Gu followed and urged Shao Yi: "Quick, follow Bai You, it must know where to take refuge." ”

The two followed Bai You through a wilting plantain forest and stopped in front of several dying banyan trees. The cave next to the big banyan tree seems to have been thrown in the morning, and you can see the whole valley clearly.

Suddenly, a black wind arose...... The thick trunk of the big banyan tree was twisted into twists, and then the whole tree slowly rose before their eyes, and the large banana tree swept away with the wind like everything else on the ground.

Baptizing the earth is only the beginning.

After the black wind ransacked the earth, it came with the yellow sand that Shaoyi and Gugu had never seen before. In an instant, everything outside the cave was obscured by the yellow sand that flowed rapidly with the wind, and it was not a boulder with a "stone henge" that "floated by" outside the cave.

There is no moment of tranquility in the flying sand and rocks outside the cave, and three "poof-poof-" stop-and-jump sounds can be heard in the cave.

Goo tries to drive his divine sense to explore, but finds that it seems as if the whole world is obscured by this unbridled "black storm", and he can see anything but flying sand.

The black wind blew from daytime to late night, from late night to dawn, and only began to weaken in the early morning of the fourth day of the straight.

After the light became stronger, Shaoyi saw the world after the "Black Storm" for the first time with the help of his divine sense—there were no plants and trees, and the scars left by the "Black Storm" could be seen everywhere on the ground.

......

Out of the valley is the source of Ganhua Creek, the ancient silver fir forest, where Shanba Gong and his descendants have been here for thousands of years.

When Shaoyi came here two years ago, it was still lush in front of him, and at this time, he could only see the lonely trunks left behind by the "black storm". The trunks of the trees were all stripped of a layer of skin, revealing their sleek "bodies".

The suffocating rancid stench of thick silver fir leaves halts visitors to the edge of the forest, their thick trunks jutting into the gloomy air......

Shaoyi looked at the little silver fir that only showed the top of his head in the depths of the forest from a distance, and asked lightly: "I don't know where the Shanba Gong is?!"

No one answered him, and Goo just stood quietly with him.

......

Shao Yi saw that the ears of the ice wolf walking in the front trembled a few times, and instinctively stretched out his hand to Shaokang.

A figure appeared on the riverbed of Ganhua Creek in the dry land, and Bai Youyou bared his teeth and warned strangers not to come any further.

"Bai You!" cried Goo.

"It's Xi Wazi. Shaoyi stepped forward and said to Goo.

Shaoyi and Gugu appeared next to the ice wolf, Baili Xi gradually calmed down ...... nervousness, "Xi Wazi, why did you come here?!" Seeing that although he had calmed down his fear of Bai You, his expression was still panicked, and he asked first.

"Big Weir River...... Dayan River ...... The big weir river is gone......"

"You tell me slowly, what the hell is going on?what about the village chief??," Shaoyi tried to keep himself calm.

Goo handed him the last bit of water...... Baili Xi wiped the recently overflowing water droplets and said:

"One night a few days ago, the village chief gathered the group under the old silver fir tree at the head of the village, and by the time I arrived there the campfire in the open space in the middle of the crowd was already burning. The village chief and everyone arrived and said, "For thousands of years, I have been sticking to my mission in this corner of the Gengming Continent, and now the catastrophe has arrived, and it is time to end......

The village chief's words were very brief, and after speaking, he threw the head of the deer offered to his house into the bonfire, and the tongue of fire instantly became several times larger, and the firelight illuminated the entire Dayan River. The fire was not extinguished until noon the next day......

"Late at night on the fourth day, the chief of the village came to my house, gave me the parchment rolls, and told me to give them to the younger one. And told me not to go back to the village no matter what I saw or heard......

"I left the village that night. Swimming upriver along the Ganhua Creek, the Ganhua Creek dried up about an hour later. When I turned back, the sky over the village was covered in a cloud of black smoke, and I could faintly hear the sound of terror......"

Baili Xi handed the parchment roll to Shaoyi and continued:

"The village chief said that there was an answer you had always wanted to know, and he told us not to go back to the village and leave, but to take a detour to the east...... On the parchment is a map of the mountain......"

Shaoyi opened the parchment roll, and inside was a finely made brocade hand, which wrapped this gold bracelet...... There are only two short sentences on Jinpa.

"What's your next plan?" asked Gugu when he frowned, holding Jinpa in his arms, and asked uneasily.

"We'll have to go back and see......"

......

The village was razed to the ground, and even the hundred-year-old silver fir tree at the head of the village was destroyed.

Goo found a cave behind the original village chief's yard, but the entrance of the cave was blocked by a boulder, and the three of them tried to open the boulder, but the boulder never moved.
