At dusk.

Li Xuanwang and Xiaopang climbed a hill that was not high, where they could see Death Valley from afar with a telescope. As the sun sets, the afterglow shines on the front of Death Valley. Looking at Death Valley from where they are, you can see the plain in front of them, densely covered with animal bones, and with the red sun that is about to set in the west, giving people a mysterious and weird feeling.

"Oh my God, this... It's horrible... If you don't do that, let's go back......" Wang Xiaopang trembled and said tremblingly.

Li Xuan looked at the white bones in front of him, and also felt that his scalp was a little numb, but he didn't refuse Wang Xiaopang's words, not that he didn't dare to go in, but that the oxygen in the oxygen cylinder in the car was almost gone.

"Okay, that's all for this trip, let's go back to sleep in the car, and go back tomorrow at dawn," Li Xuan said with a little regret.

"What? You want to sleep in this hellish place, are you crazy?" said Wang Xiaopang urgently.

"Don't sleep here, it's dark this day, you come to drive the car? This Kunlun Mountain is not covered by the Internet, and there is no even mobile phone signal, how can you navigate? You can't get lost when you drive back?" Li Xuan glanced at him and walked back to the car by himself. Wang Xiaopang looked in the direction of Death Valley, shuddered, and hurriedly followed.

Back in the car, with the oxygen cylinder on, Li Xuan's whole person relaxed, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath of oxygen, looking at the still trembling little fat, Li Xuan smiled. The two of them hastily ate something, then closed their eyes and went to sleep.

It's past one o'clock in the morning.

The air temperature outside the car window is around 10°C. Li Xuan felt a little cold, opened his eyes gently, and looked at Wang Xiaopang, this guy's snoring was buzzing. Li Xuan retracted his gaze and looked at the starry sky outside the windshield in front of him.

The stars in the sky are so bright, and especially the moon, which is round, bright, and big, so beautiful! Li Xuan was a little stunned.

But suddenly, Li Xuan felt that something was wrong, he saw that the moonlight seemed to be brighter at the higher point above the dirt slope where they had looked at Death Valley in the distance...... The feeling for Li Xuan...... It seems that something there is absorbing the moonshine!

"Ah......h

Li Xuan's sudden exclamation frightened the sleeping fat man to jump, and his head hit the roof of the car hard, making the fat man wail in pain. Li Xuan hurriedly leaned over and covered the fat man's mouth, in order to prevent him from continuing to wail, he slapped him with his other hand, ignored his angry eyes, pointed to the right front and said urgently, "Little fatty, come and see, there seems to be something devouring the moonlight."

Wang Xiaopang was stunned when he heard this, and looked in the direction that Li Xuan was pointing, but he didn't notice anything at first.

Li Xuan hurriedly explained, "Pay attention, it's dark all around, although there is still moonlight, but don't you think that the high slope is particularly bright compared to the surroundings? This is a transition from light to dark." Only...... It's as if the moonlight is being drawn all around!"

After Li Xuan said that, Wang Xiaopang was startled, and indeed as he said, the moonlight seemed to be attracted there.

"I... I said Li Xuan, would... Could there be any monsters that are cultivating the essence of the sun and the moon?" said Wang Xiaopang tremblingly, feeling as if he was going to suffocate.

Li Xuan glanced at him, and wanted to scold him, he had read too many fantasy novels, but he couldn't explain why this was happening, so he couldn't help but be silent for a while.

"Or... Shall we take a look?"

When Wang Xiaopang heard Li Xuan say this, he was suddenly startled again, "Don't, are you crazy?" Let's stay here honestly until dawn, and then we can go and see it again."

"No, when we were at dusk, I looked at Death Valley under that place, I had a look at that place before, and I didn't think there was anything abnormal, that is, except for going to see it at night, I could find a little clue, and when I went to see it at dawn, I might not be able to see anything" After Li Xuan finished speaking, he walked out of the car by himself, although the fat man was afraid, but he was worried that something would happen to Li Xuan, so he hurriedly got out of the car together, and he also held a fruit knife for peeling apples in his hand.

None of them used their phone's flashlight function, and they didn't know if it was a living or dead thing. If a living creature is attracted by the light, then something will happen.

The two of them quietly touched it by the moonlight, this small hill is not high or steep, it is about ten meters, the middle position can stand and walk up, before they looked at the valley of death from afar is standing there to see, but there is still ground above, but to go up you have to use both hands and feet, it is not difficult to climb, but you can't use it, Li Xuan uses both hands and feet, three times five divided by two, it is about to reach the top, the middle finger was cut by a sharp stone A small wound, he didn't pay attention to it.

When approaching the top of the slope, Li Xuan looked up, and the whole person was stunned.

He found that there was a stone flower on the top of the hillside, no, to be exact, a stone lotus! But its petals are only six, the size of the five fingers opened, this stone lotus is absorbing the moonlight in the sky, you can see the stone lotus golden light, but this golden light is not outward, but introverted, not to this, can not be found at all!

Li Xuan came to the top of the slope and looked at this stone lotus, breathing rapidly, Wang Xiaopang below also came up after a while, he also looked at Shi Lian blankly, and the two of them couldn't say a word for a long time.

"I... I said Li Xuan, what kind of thing is this? Was it born of heaven and earth? Or is it a relic left by some immortal here? I have heard that this Kunlun Mountain Range is really inhabited by immortals......" The fat man asked first.

Li Xuan looked at the stone lotus silently, this stone lotus was obviously not a mortal thing, and it didn't seem to be a thing with a master......

Thinking about it, Li Xuan stretched out his hand and wanted to pick it up and take a look. At this moment, a mutation protruded.

When the finger with a little blood touched Shi Lian, Shi Lian trembled suddenly, one of the six petals of the lotus flower, there was a slight clicking and cracking sound, only to see that the petal lotus burst out with a shocking golden light, without waiting for Li Xuan to retract, Shi Lian sent out a huge suction, Li Xuan only felt as if his soul was about to be sucked into Shi Lian, his whole person, at a speed visible to the naked eye, shriveled, withered, and couldn't help but let out a scream that was not like a human voice.

Wang Xiaopang next to him didn't have time to think about it, and he suddenly wanted to pull Li Xuan back. Suddenly, the two of them shriveled and withered at the same time, and it was impossible to stop. The two of them felt that their entire blood, flesh, and bones seemed to be boiling, and then their souls were sucked into it by this stone lotus.

It's a long story, but it's a blink of an eye. In a short time, two thin dried corpses were left on the top of the slope. Shi Lian still exudes a golden light, but there are two blood balls the size of a baby's fist on them, and if you look closely at the blood cells, it seems that there are two villains, sleeping quietly in them.

Suddenly, the golden light of the stone lotus converged, slowly floated up to the sky, and rotated at high speed, only to see that the starlight and moonlight within a radius of many miles were absorbed by the stone lotus, and even, the entire Kunlun mountain range was shocked, and a large amount of white gas gushed out of the mountain, and these gases combined to form a vivid dragon, as if there were bursts of roaring sounds, all of which poured into the stone lotus. After absorbing it for a long time, all the energy was like a mud cow entering the sea.

Slowly, Shi Lian stopped spinning, and then suddenly flew in the direction of Death Valley, known as the Gate of Hell, and it seemed that it was not flying, but slamming into the void.

Click... Click... Click...

There was a clattering sound in the void, and one after another cracks that resembled cobwebs appeared, as if they were about to be shattered by Shi Lian like a mirror.

As the dense cracks continue to spread. A huge crack appeared in it, and the six-petal lotus flower of the stone lotus flew into it wrapped in two balls of essence blood, and after a while, the crack in the void healed.

Shi Lian curled up with six-leaf petals, flying in the darkness of nothingness, one of the two blood cells in the petals, there was a sleeping villain in the blood cell, that villain was Li Xuan, and the other villain in the other blood cell was Wang Xiaopang. Li Xuan was still in a coma, but he felt something, and he felt that his whole body was very warm and comfortable. He couldn't open his eyes, he just felt that it had been a long time, like days, months, maybe even years.

Until one day, he felt a shock all over his body, as if he had shattered something. Li Xuan felt as if he had come out of the endless darkness, and although he still couldn't open his eyes, he knew that there was a light outside.
