Chapter 322: There is an abnormality in the spring water
The fire in front of me burned for a while, but it had no intention of extinguishing it.
The robot in the middle spewed sparks several times, some of which even splashed into the water next to it.
Fortunately, the surrounding area was very wet, and there was no hay or anything like that, so the sparks did not increase the fire.
Xie Chen moved to the side, taking in the light of the fire.
In addition to the fountain in front of you, plus a few palm trees on the side and back, if you don't count these weeds, that's actually all there is.
Xie Chen moved back a little, getting farther and farther away from the large fire that was still burning in front of him, and then slowly looked around.
After observing for a long time, I didn't find any intersections here.
In this case, it is also your best choice to go back the way you came.
"There's no other way......
Xie Chen looked at the front helplessly, and the firelight began to slowly weaken at this time, and it was no longer as fierce as before.
But there's plenty of oxygen here.
This mass of flames has been burning for so long, and it hasn't even exhausted the oxygen here.
Thinking of this, Xie Chen felt a little puzzled.
Just now, because there were four robots around, the danger was not small at all, so I didn't have extra time and energy to pay attention.
Now that I have just come to my senses, how can these palm trees several meters tall next to me, as well as these weeds on the ground, thrive?
You must know that this is underground, there is no sunlight at all, and these plants cannot photosynthesize even under the conditions of water and nutrients.
In the end, you can only wait for death.
But why do these palm trees and weeds still look healthy under these conditions?
I came from the side of the aisle, and I didn't even see the yellowed leaves along the way, all of them were very normal, and the verdant green was incredible.
Xie Chen slowly stood up, and then looked overhead, but unfortunately there was still a large area of darkness in front of him.
There was no way to see the top of the head, and there was no measure to be seen.
At least since I walked over there and entered the area, I hadn't seen any light other than the glow of the large burning fire.
Unless there is a plant light that allows the vegetation to photosynthesize at a certain time, I don't believe this thing is normal.
As soon as Xie Chen thought of this, he hurriedly walked to the side, but this road was farther than he thought.
It's said to be a road, but it's just a nice word, and the weeds that stand in front of your feet are all stepped on step by yourself, in order to avoid them quickly.
Although this is a lot slower, there is no way to do it, after all, it is not easy to find some clues from the side of this area.
Not to mention that many times I pay attention to being reluctant to have children and not being able to trap wolves, this is not much of a sacrifice in comparison.
After walking out for a long time, the original fire behind him began to become sparse, and even the back was not so obvious, and it was about to be extinguished.
Xie Chen seized this opportunity and quickly pressed the pocket watch, and he still had to rely on the fire for lighting.
Fortunately, after the pocket watch was pressed, the surrounding time froze, and the fire, which had a tendency to extinguish, was also stuck at that time.
Xie Chen also breathed a sigh of relief after he had no worries, and continued to speed up his pace and walk forward, after all, it was not a way to go on like this.
If you had taken that fountain as the starting point, you would have already come to the side by now.
But because he didn't want to go back the way he came, he ran to the right, but he obviously exceeded his expectations in terms of distance.
This thing is further away than it was at the beginning.
"Isn't it the end yet......"
Xie Chen gritted his teeth and continued to run forward, originally he could only hear the footsteps under his feet, but when he continued to rush forward, he finally heard the sound of positive feedback.
If this continues and doesn't come back, you're going to have to drive yourself crazy.
But even after the sound sounded again, the eyes could not see the wall they wanted for a while.
"Isn't there an end to this thing?"
Xie Chen stood in place panting, and then wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hand.
Even though the thing had run so far, it hadn't seen a thin wooden plank like the one it had walked to the side before.
It's just the same as torturing yourself.
Xie Chen slowed down and continued to walk forward, and there were only three minutes left for the pocket watch to pause.
Xie Chen glanced at it and confirmed it, and then stuffed the sea surface back again.
But before the action was finished, the whole person crashed straight forward.
"Oops......"
Xie Chen reflexively stabilized his heels, and couldn't help shouting.
Wet dirt covered his forehead.
If I hadn't walked with my head down just now, I would have covered my whole face by now.
Xie Chen looked at the front of him in disbelief, and when he looked forward, there was not even a single obstacle, it was all a large black patch.
The mud wall that suddenly appeared didn't enter his field of vision at all, and he couldn't blame himself for crashing into it like this.
Xie Chen used his hands to paste the mud on his face, which can be regarded as regaining his sight.
After all, the mud that sticks to his forehead can easily drip down, and some of them have even stuck to his eyelashes.
With every blink of an eye, my eyeballs will feel particularly uncomfortable, and this sour feeling makes tears flow for a while.
After wiping the corner of his eyes with his sleeve, Xie Chen began to stand in front of the mud wall, solemnly examining it.
Before I could get my hands on it, a large puddle of dirt had already fallen down in front of me.
Xie Chen hurriedly took out the pocket watch in his pocket, and if he followed such a comparison, it was indeed time for the effect of time to stop.
I hurriedly pressed the button a few more times from the side, and then I re-entered the effect of time stopping.
Fortunately, the soil in front of him did not continue to fall, and Xie Chen pressed it with both hands, and then pressed it harder twice.
Just want to see if this thing fits into the mud wall on the side before, with only a thin layer of wood in between?
However, while he stood still and pushed his body forward, he didn't feel much shaking in the layer of soil in front of him.
Even though he had used nearly eighty percent of his strength, he didn't have much reaction.
Xie Chen took a step back and quickly shook off the mud in his palm with his hand.
Although it was a little wet, the sticking to the hands were fine, and they were only shaken off with a slight hand.
Xie Chen frowned, and raised his right leg in a hurry.
What I'm afraid of now is that the earthen wall in front of me is actually real, and there are only two results that can be fed back.
Either there is no exit to this area other than the gap that I opened from the walkway, or the exit is in a different direction, not the wall in front of it.
After thinking about it for a while, Xie Chen kicked his right foot out hard.
It's just that it didn't make much of a difference, judging by the touch of the transmission, it really didn't make any difference from kicking on a wall.
Thick and dense is also not small.
Xie Chen retracted his foot, took two steps to the side, and then kicked it again.
But this time, the benefits are the same as before, and there is basically no difference.
This made Xie Chen feel a little discouraged.
If you don't have one on this side, then you'll have to keep looking ahead, especially along the side wall.
You even have to test a few times from time to time, and if the hole is very small, it is likely to be ignored by your own carelessness.
This is a particularly time-consuming task, and the time spent is not proportional to the benefit.
Xie Chen continued to kick forward, kicking without taking two steps, and the gap in the middle was just enough for him to kick out of the range.
But this behavior obviously did not benefit much, even after kicking out several times in a row, even a long distance from where he was standing, he still did not find the exit he wanted.
Just like this, he tried all the way, and soon Xie Chen came to the side of this area, that is, next to the spring.
Xie Chen took a few steps back, and did not continue to rush ahead, but came to the large pool of spring.
Strange to say, there is no particularly abundant underground tributary here, but it can gather such a spring in the center.
It's weird......
Curiosity and inner incomprehension drove Xie Chen closer and closer, and then came to the front of this spring.
Xie Chen slowly squatted down and gently entered the spring water with his hands.
Immediately after, he was taken aback.
I never thought that this thing was actually warm, but the temperature was not high, probably a little higher than the body temperature of the human body.
The groundwater is hot, which reflects a different situation to itself.
Xie Chen tried again in disbelief, and even inserted his other hand into the spring water a little deeper, but from the temperature of the water that came back, he found that the water seemed to be getting hotter.
The further you go to the bottom of the spring, the more you can notice the tendency of the water to heat up.
This is not an underground active volcano, otherwise it would not have been so cool and damp when I first went down to this cellar and walked the tunnel.
Instead, it should be hot and dry.
Something is absolutely wrong with the bottom of this spring......
