Chapter 40: Above the Clouds
Chapter 40: Above the Clouds
"Where are we now?" Mu'er grabbed Xiao Sheng's hand, looked at the things around him that revealed an ancient style, and asked.
"Look at the soles of our feet!" Xiao Sheng did not answer directly, but said so.
Mu'er looked down, and the golden color of her eyes made her a little unable to open her eyes. When he got used to the somewhat dazzling light, a large yellow circular field appeared in Mu'er's eyes.
"It's ...... Gold?" The golden light shone on Mu'er's immature face, illuminating her incredible complexion.
"No," Xiao Sheng said without a trace of hesitation. "We're at the top of that golden-colored pillar. ”
Sure enough, Mu'er looked around and saw the spiral staircase leading to the entrance to the pillar.
"There's no way to get to the top. Sure enough, the treasure is just a legend!" Mu'er thought of the people who died because of the treasure, and felt really worthless for them.
Xiao Sheng didn't speak, he walked along the edge of the platform, touching the quaint unknown things around him with his hands. These things wrap around the entire circular field, and the further you go up, the closer these things get. At the top, the entire circular field is completely enclosed, forming a hemispherical space.
Xiao Sheng walked like this, touching these woody dull yellow substances. Just as Xiao Sheng touched a place, he clearly felt some convex marks on the flat wall.
Xiao Sheng hurriedly approached to take a closer look. However, due to the passage of time, the color of these traces has blended in with the surroundings, and it is impossible to distinguish them. Xiao Sheng had no choice but to use his hands to peel off the impurities covering the traces.
"The two of them existed...... Prove. Xiao Sheng reluctantly recognized the traces that revealed his original appearance, which were some pale yellow words.
"The two of you, do you mean me and Mu'er?" Xiao Sheng thought silently. "To prove the ...... of the two Exist...... But to whom?"
Xiao Sheng was still thinking about himself, and Mu'er couldn't stay still. She ran to Xiao Sheng's side, and when she saw the words Xiao Sheng sorted out, she couldn't help but want to touch it with curiosity.
"What, do you have any ideas?" Xiao Sheng stood up, supporting his waist with one hand and leaning against the wall with the other, looking like an adult looking at a child.
When Mu'er heard this, the hand that was about to touch the words also retracted. She mimicked Eli's thoughts, her hands on her hips and her eyes closed. After a while, she replied solemnly, "No idea!"
Xiao Sheng looked helpless. I have never seen someone so seriously who says they don't know.
"But these words are pretty good!" Mu'er reached for the words, wanting to touch them.
However, the moment Mu'er's hand touched the wall, Xiao Sheng's hand and Mu'er's hand were bounced away by a strange force at the same time, and a crack began to appear in the middle of the entire hemispherical surface. With a rumbling sound and shattered dull yellow shavings, the hemispherical walls began to open from the middle to the sides.
"There seems to be movement overhead!" Tie Lin, who was winding up, heard the sound of thunder from above, and said to his entourage.
The others nodded their heads in agreement.
"Could it be that someone else arrived before us? Those two keys have been wiped out, and they have already seen Hades gone, it can't be them!" Tie Lin raised his head, his bloody eyes as if he wanted to penetrate the distance and darkness in front of him.
"Bique, speed me up!" Tie Lin was unwilling to let someone arrive before him, and he couldn't allow others to get the treasure. Now, he would not hesitate to choose to sacrifice everything to get the treasure.
Although Bique was a little out of breath at this time, Tie Lin's order had never been disobeyed. In order to protect the destination that it has so hard to find, even if Tie Lin wants it to do all kinds of hurtful things, it will do it.
The green light in their eyes was about to overflow, and the vines under their feet began to grow upward like crazy. It's just that some of the feathers on the blue sparrow began to glow red.
However, Tie Lin only cares about the above, and everything around him can't get into his eyes.
"It's just opened, we obviously didn't do anything......" Feeling the loud sound and the not light shaking, Xiao Sheng thought that he had touched some deadly mechanism, but immediately he figured out that he and Mu'er touched the wall at the same time, wouldn't it prove the existence of the two!
The moment the wall opened, Xiao Sheng only felt a somewhat cold air blowing towards him. However, as the wall gradually opened, Xiao Sheng's mouth also gradually opened. Mu'er was even more stunned by the scene in front of her.
It was as if they had come to a fairyland. Everywhere there were clouds that could be seen in the sky but could never be touched! And these clouds only existed under their feet.
It's a big place, but you can still feel the border from a distance. Not far from Xiao Sheng, there was a stone sculpture like a hill, and around the stone sculpture was a circular pool, in which an unknown liquid of azure blue was flowing.
The stone sculpture looked like a heart beast. Obviously, it belongs to the bird-like heart beast like the blue sparrow, but unlike the blue sparrow, the image and temperament of the two of them are very different. If you compare the blue bird to a nightingale singing in the mountains and forests, then this guy in front of you is a phoenix soaring in the sky.
It had two pairs of wings, one large and the other smaller, as if to serve as a foil to the large wings. It has a head similar to that of Quetzalcoatl, but instead of armor, it wears a crown made of jewels and metal. Surprisingly, it has a human-like body, but the hands are replaced by wings, and the feet are replaced by two phoenix claws. Judging by her appearance, she should be a female. It was covered in a layer of fur, but it was impossible to tell its color due to its stone statue. All in all, it exudes kindness and majesty that makes all who see it in awe.
Xiao Sheng looked under his feet, and saw nothing but marshmallow-like clouds. However, it was precisely because he could only see the clouds that Xiao Sheng was afraid that he would fall from this high sky like stepping on a marshmallow.
However, hesitation could not solve the problem, Xiao Sheng first stretched out one foot to this cloud, and sure enough, the soles of his feet were completely submerged, and Xiao Sheng did not have a down-to-earth feeling. Xiao Sheng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back. He carefully withdrew the foot he had stepped on, thinking of something else.
"This cloud is really hard!" Xiao Sheng was just about to think of another way when Mu'er's voice came. Xiao Sheng hurriedly looked at Mu'er, almost scaring his little heart out. This Mu'er took advantage of his unpreparedness to make assertions and took this step that he did not dare to take. The clouds were just below her knees, and the ground was probably below.
"It's too dangerous!" Xiao Sheng was a little frustrated. Fortunately, there was a field under the cloud, and if it was really hanging in the air, the consequences would be unimaginable. "In the future, when you go to such a dangerous place, you must follow me, and don't act alone!"
"Got it!" Mu'er changed her previous shy appearance, and stuck out her tongue instead. It seems that in this catastrophe, Mu'er has given Xiao Sheng complete trust.
Xiao Sheng exhaled and stepped out of one foot, stepping on these clouds. But unlike stepping on the ground, stepping on these clouds is more like stepping on a road covered with leaves.
Regardless of this, Xiao Sheng led Mu'er and came to the stone carving. The circular pool next to the stone sculpture blocked their way, and they had to wander around, looking for clues.
"Who dares to touch my treasure!" a familiar voice came from behind Xiao Sheng.
