Chapter 25: The Eight Elephant Wells

It was pitch black all around, and Deng Ke had to grope his way against the cave wall, the cave was getting hotter and hotter, and Deng Ke's head began to sweat, and he gradually regretted taking this road a little. In this way, after a period of difficult walking, a well with purple light appeared in the field of vision of Deng Ke, and he ran over with some excitement, and he felt very interesting about the fact that there would be a well of different colors after walking for a while, and he always wanted to know if there would be a well if he walked further, and if so, what color would it be? So he continued to touch it inside. The air was getting hotter and hotter, and he took off his coat and felt cooler, and he quickened his pace. I don't know how long he walked, but he saw a well that glowed yellow. After walking a longer way, this long road made Deng Ke think that there would be no more wells, and several times he wanted to go back, but the air on the road was like a heat wave fluttering Deng Ke was out of breath, and the sweat on his face was like a small river. But Deng Ke was born to be resistant to heat and cold, and finally gritted his teeth and survived. -- A burning wall of fire seemed to be erected behind a well that glowed with blue light, and he walked to the well, looked at the wall of fire that was blazing, and thought to himself, there is not only a well here, but also a wall of fire. That means you can't walk here. I really didn't expect that this road turned out to be a dead end. Lamp Ke wiped the sweat from his forehead and stared at the wall of fire, he really wished that the wall of fire would open in front of him miraculously. But he stared for a long time, and the wall of fire was still spitting flames there, and there was no intention of opening it. He closed his eyes, filled with yellow firelight, and only after the light had faded into the darkness did he reopen them. He looked around and there was no other way. No, he didn't want to go back anymore, he wanted to go down to the hole, he wanted to know what else lay ahead, he was full of questions about these strange wells. In addition, he sincerely hopes that he can walk back to the mine along this road. But how can you get over? It's better to rush over, anyway, it's just a fire, it's not a real wall, as long as you run hard, you should be able to run through, Deng Ke is very confident in this. His clothes were burned out when he was sucked into the first well, but he was intact, and now what can this fire do to him?

He tossed his clothes aside and tentatively walked towards the fire door, but before he could touch the flames, he was scorched back by the heat. This is not good, even if you don't get burned to death, you will be hurt to death. He thought, let's rush over in one go. But how thick is this wall of fire? If he can't get to the end of this hole no matter how he walks, then he won't die in it. Otherwise, just rush a section first, and run back if it really doesn't work, it should be fine. He cheered himself up, took two steps back, took a deep breath, held his breath, and after being mentally prepared, he gritted his teeth and rushed towards the fire gate. While running, he felt that he was really stupid and heroic to rush at a pile of fire in such a place, and suddenly his heart began to surge, and blood rushed to the top of his head, and he couldn't help but close his eyes and shout and rushed into the wall of fire.

By the time he opened his eyes again, he had already crossed the wall of fire. He stopped and quickly extinguished the fire burning in his pants, and then he regained his strength and began to gasp for air. Only after he had evened out his breath did he focus on the well in front of him. If it weren't for the fact that the well didn't emit any light, Dengke would have thought he hadn't crossed the wall of fire at all. He looked into the depths of the cave, and it seemed that there was no way out, and he withdrew his gaze to look at the well carefully, and found that it was very ordinary compared to the others, not only did it not emit any light, but its appearance was very shabby and shabby. If you look closely, there is a circle of text on the edge of the wellhead, as if it has been engraved, and the handwriting is very clear. It reads:

Eight elephant wells, all kinds of things.

Seven colors of light, drunk and open-minded.

Six Prison Realm Spirits, Five Gods.

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.

Deng Ke circled around the well, and after reading the words on the well, he couldn't understand what it meant. He subconsciously looked into the well, the well was very deep, there was no bottom, only a black mass, he raised his head and wanted to look elsewhere, but in the afterglow, he saw that the bottom of the black well suddenly flashed with a white light. Deng Ke felt very strange, he lowered his head again and looked in carefully, but he didn't expect that invisible suction came again, sucking him into the well who was completely defenseless.

Deng Ke shouted in horror, and his body kept falling downward. Eventually, he landed on a hard object, but it didn't stop him, and he began to slide down the thing at a rapid pace, and after sliding for a long distance and turning many corners, he fell into the water. There was no light in the water, and he could only struggle desperately to swim upstream, but the water was rushing rapidly, and it was rolling forward with the lamp, and he was thrown into the abyss by singing all the way. Deng Ke could vaguely see the scenery around him, he felt that he had been washed out of the cave by the water, the air outside was fresh and cool, the sky was dark and there were no stars, but there was still some light. It's just that he seems to be falling, and he is about to fall to his death. Just as he was thinking, a faint white light came out of his body, and the light gradually jumped out, and then gathered into an eggshell around the lamp, protecting him inside, and the speed of descent slowed down (a lot) at once, almost becoming a float.

The lamp slowly fell to the ground, and the light around him became weaker and weaker, and finally dissipated into the air. Deng Ke touched his body, he was really grateful to that woman now, if it weren't for her, Deng Ke might have died in the fire when he encountered the first well. He looked around, it was dark everywhere, and now that he was out of the cave, where was he going next? "I must have fallen from this mountain, but where did the water that washed me out of the cave?" "Hey, I don't think about it so much, this is a strange and unpredictable place, even if the water evaporates out of thin air, it shouldn't be strange, it's normal, it's normal!" Deng Ke nodded comfortingly, and began to think about where to go next. He looked left and right, hesitated, and finally decided to go straight ahead.

After walking a few steps, he heard a click, and Deng Ke felt as if he had stepped on something, and he squatted down to look hard. With a little glimmer of light in the sky, he could only see that it was a somewhat whitish thing, and Deng Ke touched it with his hand, this thing was bare and quite hard, and there were cracks on it, which may have been stepped on by him. He picked it up and touched it as he looked at it, and there were two large holes and a row of teeth. Ahh Deng Ke gasped, hurriedly threw down the thing and stepped back, and with another click, Deng Ke's hair stood on end, and he jumped to the side in panic and didn't dare to move again.

His heart pounded wildly, and by the light of day, he saw the bones of white flowers all over the ground. Suddenly, he felt what is called a creep, he felt that he could not bear this terrible scene, and he was about to faint, but he couldn't faint here, otherwise, he would have to faint again when he woke up. He suppressed his fear to calm himself down, and kept telling himself that skeletons had nothing to fear, they just turned into ghosts, and he still had a life shield to protect himself. He closed his eyes and ran forward regardless of it, trying not to pay attention to the clicking sound, and in his panic he accidentally tripped over a stone and fell to the ground, only to open his eyes to face a skull that seemed to be smiling at him, and a few blue flames suddenly drilled out of the clearing next to him. He was so frightened that he ran forward until he had no way to go, and then he stopped tremblingly. His knees went limp, and he fell to his knees. Before he could rest, the blue flames fluttered towards him, and he hurriedly jumped up, desperately picked up the dirt slope behind him, and unexpectedly climbed up. On the dirt slope, there were finally sporadic fires. He staggered toward the firelight, until he fainted in front of a man guarding the mine by the campfire.
