Chapter X
Groping all the way forward, in this cave that looks extremely weird, if there is no danger, it must be to comfort himself by doing the oak forest, fortunately, the unknown moss itself on the mountain wall will emit a faint blue light, which is enough for the oak forest to identify the road, and there is no need to stumble.
After traveling for a long time, the oak forest, which had not been replenished for a long time, felt more and more dry in the mouth.
Although on the way, the oak forest encountered a small puddle of water seeping out of the rock wall, but the oak forest tasted it, the water contains a lot of salt, drinking this water will only aggravate the loss of water in the body, for this time the oak forest is tantamount to drinking doves to quench thirst, can not drink at all.

The further you go, the more bottomless your heart is, the deeper the whole cave is, the more open it becomes, the cave seems to be in the shape of a horn, and the tree forest is moving in the direction of the horn.
I don't know how long it took to travel, there was no concept of time in the cave, and the tree forest stopped and rested three times, and the severe lack of water and his own injuries caused a serious lack of physical strength.
Loneliness is also the enemy that Quercus is currently facing, holding the pendant containing Alice's photo, the sense of survival has reached such a strong level for the first time.
Sitting down to rest again, Quercus leaned against the rock wall and gasped for breath, suddenly, he felt the rock wall vibrate slightly,
Quercus put his ear on the rock wall and carefully felt the regular rhythm,
Don't?
The tree forest hurried forward some distance again, and put his ears on the rock wall again,
It can't be wrong, it's the sound of water, the underground dark river!
In an instant, the oak forest rekindled hope, and the underground river can be found, which will greatly strengthen the chances of the forest's survival.
Giving up the rest, the oak forest returned to the journey from the new,
I don't know how long it took, crystals began to appear on the ground around me, but this was not the kind of magic crystal that was condensed into the origin of the world to communicate with the origin of the world, but a simple mineral.
The deeper you go, the more crystals begin to slowly increase, at first there are only small pieces of arrangement, then clusters of arrangements, and now they have begun to appear in front of the eyes of the oak forest.
Crystal this kind of thing, no matter when, where, anywhere, any time and space, any country, is a thing that girls like, Quercus has heard the young men of Alma City say before, girls are the same as dragons, they always like shiny things, so these ores that are almost only decorative are given a price far beyond their own value in human society, and this large crystal vein in front of him is undoubtedly a large amount of wealth,
However, just like the greedy ghost who starved to death guarding a large amount of gold in the fable, the value of this crystal is not even as good as a glass of clean water for the current Quercus forest, clean up your mood, and continue to rush forward,
Slowly, I could already hear the roaring water with my ears, and after walking a distance, my eyes suddenly brightened
It seems that the Quercus Forest has walked out of the cave and into a larger underground space.
Although the gradually increasing crystals along the way have given the Quercus Forest a lot of impact, the Quercus Forest, which has gradually adapted to it, is still shocked by the scene in front of him.
This is a place completely shrouded in crystals, large and small crystals refracted the originally faint light to completely illuminate the entire space, as far as the eye can see, this space is almost twice as large as Alma City, the entire unprecedented is covered by crystals, and there seems to be a huge artificial building in the center of the area surrounded by crystals in the distance, because the light and shadow refracted by crystals are too illusory, and the oak forest can't see real,
However, what Quercus Lin is more concerned about now is the surging underground river not far in front of him.
Quercus ran to the river, his hand just touched the river water, the biting cold river water excited Quercus suddenly felt a lot of energy, washed his face, the whole person recovered from the muddy state, tasted a sip, it was fresh water! Regardless of whether it was clean or not, he drank it first, endured the stinging pain and cleaned the wounds on his body, rested for a while, and the whole person instantly felt refreshed.
Lying on the riverbank, gasping for breath, resting for a while, and starting to observe the surroundings anew,
The dark river where the oak forest is located is at the edge of this huge crystal space, the whole space is semi-circular, like a big bowl upside down, dense crystals grow everywhere, and in the middle of the bowl, it is a huge artificial building.
For some reason, the entire building is also covered with these crystals.
Quercus was amazed, he didn't expect that there was such an unimaginable space under this desert.
In addition to the road when the oak forest came, it seems to be a completely closed space all around, including the road when the oak forest did not find an exit, I don't know who built such an underground building here for what purpose,
It's not a way to wait here, maybe you should go to the building to explore, maybe you can find a way out, no matter how bad it is, there should be some tools in this artificial building that can help the forest survive,
With the current condition of the Quercus Forest, the injuries of the body and the spirit, the physical body has reached the limit, if there is any danger, it is impossible for the iron nail to deal with it.
Although the water is replenished, the lost physical strength cannot be replenished quickly.
When he was just drinking water by the river, he noticed that although this dark river was turbulent, there seemed to be fish.
Folded off a slender crystal with a handy size on the crystal cluster next to him, the hardness seems to be good, just enough to be used as a fishing gun, which is also considered a luxury.
Touching into the waist-deep icy river water, tossing for a while, the oak forest caught a big black and blue fish that he couldn't name, and then he grew up in the desert and basically never ate fish and other creatures, and the oak forest only ate a kind of fish unique to the desert water system.
Perennial underground survival, the fish eyes here have degenerated, as if a unique ecological environment has been formed here, there seems to be no natural predators, this black and blue fish without a sense of crisis was almost caught in the arms of the oak forest,
Quercus looked around, and found no traces of animals and plants in this space, except that crystals are crystals, and there are no materials that can be used to make fires.
Fortunately, this fish basically has no fish bones, and the taste is delicious, and there is no fishy smell of fish in the impression, and it tastes like a watermelon skin.
Amazingly, the bones of this fish also seem to be crystallized, but it is still a little difficult to see clearly in this bright place, and I don't know if it is because of the light that Quercus himself is dazzled, or if it is true,
After eating a fish, Zhulin lay down on the spot to rest, but this kind of realm could not sleep soundly, and in a trance I had some strange dreams that were not connected with each other, and when I woke up, I couldn't remember what I dreamed of.
After resting for a while, and without any further delay, Quercus decided to immediately get up and go to explore the huge artificial structures in the central area.
Turning over the waist-deep river, the oak forest walked towards the center of the space,
There are a large number of crystals growing on the route, which is extremely difficult to walk, and it took twice as long to reach the central area as expected.
The ever-changing light of this space seems to give rise to illusions, and Quercus can't grasp the sense of distance, as if no matter how far he goes, the distance between this building and himself will not change in the slightest.
I walked in a little bit to see the truth, this is a huge temple-like artificial building, the main body of the building needs to pass through a long staircase to reach, although it is covered by crystal, I can vaguely identify the magnificent sixteen huge columns in front of the main body, in the place to the inside is blocked by the steps, you have to step over the steps to see clearly,
Querca stepped on the surface of the crystal-covered steps, and didn't take two steps, when a song suddenly came from his ears, and Querca was shocked, is there still anyone living here?
However, he couldn't hear anything after careful identification, and he thought that he was too nervous to hallucinate, shook his head and walked forward, who would have thought that this voice appeared in his ears again, stopped to recognize and disappeared again,
The sound can only be heard when you don't carefully identify it, and once you identify it carefully, it will disappear immediately.
Unable to distinguish the content of the song, and even the existence of the song itself could not be recognized, it seemed to be a female voice, and it didn't seem to be, it seemed to have a melody and it didn't, although Zarin was surprised in his heart, but there should be no danger, so he gave up trying to capture the source of the sound and continued to walk towards the main body of the temple
After climbing the steps for a distance, Querca suddenly noticed that there were water droplets falling on his face, touched it with his hand, and found that it was actually his own tears, and the tears dripped across his cheeks and fell to the ground, making a slight 'click'
Querca Lin looked at his hands that had just wiped away his tears inexplicably, and suddenly, a sadness that reached his soul instantly submerged Querca Forest.
