Chapter 3: The Sinkhole
The so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and the brothers did not just stay near the main road like others, but went straight to the depths of the wasteland, because where there are fewer people, there will be greater harvest. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When they climbed all the way, crossed mountains and mountains, and walked forward for more than ten miles, they finally shook off everyone and came to an open high ground.
Compared to the wasteland in front of it, the terrain here is higher and the terrain is more special, looking like a whole weathered boulder.
Black, white and yellow volcanic rocks can be found everywhere, either piled up into hills, scattered into gravel and fine sand, and more weathered into black soil. In these black soils, a variety of drought-tolerant plants grow in them, which are scattered and layered, forming a very characteristic plateau vegetation.
The land that has just been moistened by the rain is full of attractive green, and the weeds and wild vegetables that have just grown young leaves are mixed, and the shrubs that are half a man tall sprout young shoots and grow new leaves. If you gently pull out the grass, you can find piles of sand mushrooms and straw mushrooms in the moist sandy soil, such as bright red mushrooms, sky blue mushrooms, morels, as well as light-colored sand ears, white-mouthed mushrooms, chicken longitudinal mushrooms, etc., which are all good ingredients for soup.
In the longer grass or bushes, from time to time, you can see gophers, mountain hares and other probes probing their brains, and there are birds chirping in the unknown trees in the distance.
It's a paradise for them!
The delighted brothers put down their packages and immediately got busy, placing an iron clip under the bushes, a trap under the grass, shooting birds and digging wild vegetables for a while......
Time passed quietly, and they excitedly picked and chased, and before they knew it, they had walked several miles to the center of the wasteland, and a huge sinkhole appeared in front of them.
This sinkhole is circular, up to 100 meters deep, hundreds of meters in diameter, and the surrounding stone walls are steep, as if it is a big pit smashed out by the giant hammer of the gods.
As soon as they approached the sinkhole, both Shi and Ah Jian felt an inexplicable trance, but both of them thought it was a reaction after strenuous exercise and didn't care.
Looking down from the edge of the pit, I saw that the water at the bottom of the pit was murmuring, full of greenery, covered with grass and trees, full of birds and beasts, and countless thick vines climbing all over the stone wall.
"Brother Shi, do you want to go down and have a look?"
Ah Jian was very excited, such a beautiful scene is unique in the wasteland, not to mention just getting some wild vegetables and hunting, even if it is to pick some elixir, it may not be impossible.
"It's okay to go down, but I'm afraid of this...... There may be Warcraft. ”
The stone was a little hesitant, with these many vines, it should be no problem to climb to the bottom of the pit. However, such a place, how can it feel a little weird, although he can't perceive the aura, any place where there is vitality will not lack aura, and demonic beasts often haunt places with strong aura.
"How is it possible! If there are monsters, how can there be so many birds and small animals?"
None of them had ever seen Warcraft, let alone knew the habits of Warcraft, and according to the law of the jungle of lions eating wolves and wolves eating rabbits, they naturally thought that Warcraft fed on small animals.
"That's right! It's just a good place, why hasn't anyone been here?"
"If there were no magical beasts, the hunters and mercenaries wouldn't come, and those women and children wouldn't be able to get down! Brother Shi, let's go down and have a look, there must be a lot of herbs below, if we're lucky, we can find some elixirs, then we'll send them." ”
Speaking of herbs and elixirs, the stones that have always been calm have also come to the spirit, and these things may really be at the bottom of the pit. The value of medicinal herbs is much greater than that of ordinary wild vegetables and mice, and some rare herbs are even worth a gold coin. If you can really find the elixir, it will be even more famous, and it will be no problem to redeem the mortgaged crystal pendant, even if you add a decent dress to each of your younger siblings and a few suitable utensils at home.
And I knew about the herb because of the illness of the stone last year. The brothers had no money to buy medicine, so they said that they went to the pharmacy to look at the herb atlas, hoping to be lucky enough to come across the cheaper herbs, but they only knew a lot of herbs.
The idea was certain, and the two of them immediately started it. Dig a pit first and hide the prey, wild vegetables and mushrooms that were harvested. Then find a few of the thickest and strongest vines and carefully climb down it step by step.
At a height of hundreds of meters, it is indeed a bit thrilling to look down at first glance, but both of them are determined people, and they immediately put aside distractions and climb with full concentration, so they are not afraid.
It took the brothers an hour to climb to the bottom of the pit, and the temperature here and outside were indeed two worlds, and the temperature alone was at least a dozen degrees lower than outside.
The clear spring water poured down from the cracks in the stone walls of the pit wall, moistening a radius of hundreds of meters, and everywhere there was a bright green, many of which were species not found outside, and there was also a small forest. Countless birds and beasts roamed freely among the woods and grass, not afraid of the sudden invasion of these two outsiders.
After the two reconfirmed that there was no danger, they began to look around. Sure enough, they soon found two blood clumps and three iron gall grasses in the cracks in the stones at the edge of the pit, which could be exchanged for at least one bag of coarse grains.
The brothers were even more excited, and no longer bothered to hunt those innocent little animals, and devoted themselves to finding the herb, only to find another less common herb in the grass.
"Let's go to the grove in the middle of the pit and have a look! Brother Shi, do you think the elixir will grow there?"
"Okay, with or without the elixir, we'll leave as soon as we're done, something doesn't look right this day, it's probably going to rain down. ”
The weather in autumn is very fickle, and the sun is still shining just now, and it is only a moment of effort, and it is the appearance of dark clouds.
Without further ado, the two of them immediately set off and walked towards the grove.
The grove is much more dangerous than anywhere else, except for the innocent critters, as well as some chimpanzee monkeys and thin-tailed snakes. However, they found that as long as they did not attack them actively, they would not be attacked by them.
The two carefully searched among the trees, and when they encountered a chimpanzee monkey and a thin-tailed snake, they took the initiative to avoid it, and after ten minutes, they found a few more valuable herbs.
They were going to go back, and if they didn't leave, it would rain in torrential rain, and it would be very difficult to climb the vines.
Suddenly, Shi and Ah Jian's hearts tightened, and that inexplicable trance appeared again, as if something was deliberately interfering with their spirits.
This time they were all extremely sure, it was definitely not a brain reaction after exercise, but a real trouble.
Both of them were very determined, and immediately bit their tongues to sober up, ready to pull their legs and leave.
At this moment, they suddenly found a large cluster of elixir, growing in the shadow in front of them. They remembered that this elixir was called Soul Grass, and it was a second-order elixir necessary to refine the elixir that repaired soul damage, and it was very rare, and one strain was worth tens of thousands of gold coins.
The brothers looked at each other for a while, and then made a joint decision: no matter what, let's talk about it!
The soul grasses seemed to feel their thoughts, and they shook one after another, some facing east, some facing west, some forward, and some backward, like a flock of sheep scurrying around with a wild wolf.
And their consciousness was even more trance-like, mixed with all kinds of complex emotions such as fear, warning, and pleading, and it came to them in a rush of brains, and at this moment, they seemed to be no longer themselves, but the embodiment of the will of those soul grass.
When they finally came to their senses again, they were horrified to find themselves surrounded by countless animals, large and small, including the chimpanzee monkeys and the thin-tailed snakes, all baring their teeth and claws and pounced on them viciously.
The two men did not have time to think about it, one with a sword, the other with a bow, and then they fought with the beast that rushed at the front.
There were so many beasts that could rush up, and how much strength did the two children who were less than ten years old have? In a short time, the two of them were already scarred, and they didn't know how many bites they had on their ankles and wrists, and the powerful chimpanzee monkey in front of them was holding a boulder and pounced on it.
At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and the whole sun in the sky was covered by dark clouds, and where the elixir grows, an invisible mist rushed out of the ground and quickly spread.
It seemed to be the coagulant of time, and it was like some kind of magical magic that made all the people and animals lose their minds at once, and they were still there.
Stone and Ah Jian seem to have had a long dream, dreaming that they are in another strange world, dreaming that that world is heading for destruction......
What a beautiful and magical world it is?
There is a vast blue sea, a river that runs all year round, vast expanses of green forests and grasslands, creatures that have never been seen before, and all kinds of strange houses......
There were no monsters, there were never three suns in the sky, the city was full of tall buildings, there were strange tin boxes running fast on the ground and in the sky, and people were dressed in strange costumes and walked in a hurry......
Was it the outbreak of war? It was the mage who cast a powerful spell, the tall buildings collapsed in the smoke of gunpowder, and the iron boxes in the sky turned into scattered fireworks. Thunderbolts fell on the ground, sending panicked people fleeing in all directions, and then a huge mushroom cloud rose and everything was wiped out in a dazzling flash......
Is our planet about to be destroyed?Look at the huge meteorite roaring from the sky, all the magic has lost its effect, the desperate people are still praying to the gods, the planets are like fragile eggs being shattered in an instant, the fiery red magma is like egg yolks gushing around, and countless fragments are turned into meteors all over the sky......
How can I fly in the air? Is the meteor that flies into the universe my mount, or is it myself? Why am I so lonely, where are all my former companions, my lovers, my relatives? and my beautiful homeland, can I go back again?......
