Chapter 43: See the green mountains again
There are also traces of what looks like activity, on the ground, on the rock face. Or is this a monster that once existed in that space, and once stayed here for a long time to inspect it?
I looked ahead carefully, and this is also a dead end, with no top but no top, and all of them are upright rock walls, and it is simply whimsical to climb it.
Gently tugging Yao Yao, the two of them returned the same way.
The torch was about to burn out, and there was a burning sensation in his hand, so Zhao Xiaobai had to take out a pine branch again and light it. Only the last pine branch is left, which is troublesome!
Fortunately, a wide stone staircase was found behind the wreckage of several planes, and he helped Yao Yao to quickly walk up the stone steps.
After walking about a few hundred steps, it is still impossible to know where the long stone steps lead, but the direction is upward. Since it is upward, it should not be wrong, no matter how high this mountain is, there will always be an end.
There are also vague footprints on this stone step, human footprints.
Who has been here? Is it Ziyue and Gao Yi?
Zhao Xiaobai was excited in his heart, and couldn't help shouting loudly: "Ziyue ......!"
The sound came far away, humming and echoing, and dust fell on the rock face, but no one responded.
Looks like she's not here.
So, where did she and Gao Yi go?
I wonder what happened to the two of them? Are they still alive?
With a "boom", a stone wall on the edge of the stone steps suddenly collapsed, and Zhao Xiaobai hurriedly picked up Yao Yao with one hand and dodged the rolling stones.
"It's ...... inside!" Yao Yao stretched out her hand and shouted.
When I looked at her, I saw a "door" between the collapsed rock walls, and there was a hole in it.
Zhao Xiaobai walked over and arrived at the entrance of the cave, but the torch in his hand snorted, and it suddenly burned vigorously, and the tongue of fire was biased in the direction of the cave.
He stopped hastily and stood at the mouth of the cave.
Someone!
In the firelight, two young cultivators in dark brocade robes could be seen, lying on their backs on the ground, their hands crossed, pinching their throats tightly, their eyes protruding......
He's dead.
These two corpses, in such a dark and damp environment, have not yet begun to decompose, and should have died not long ago.
If they didn't guess wrong, they must have been the disciples of the various sects who came in to explore the treasure this time.
"They are from the human race, this is the uniform color of the elite disciples of the academy. That's what Yao Yao said.
Zhao Xiaobai was taken aback: The elite disciples of the academy, not to mention which kingdom they are also from, are ...... It's a pity!
They... ...... the state of death?
Zhao Xiaobai looked at the flames on the torches that were greatly biased towards the cave, and suddenly realized: I am afraid that this is a space where the air does not flow, and these disciples of the academy unfortunately broke into it and suffocated to death......
There is no need to guess, they must have chosen a hole with no traces and entered recklessly. According to the general thinking, where no one enters, no one fights, right?
It's beautiful.
If you read a lot of books, your cultivation must not be weak, but your life experience is not satisfactory.
"There's a lot of problems here, I'm afraid it's a dead place, we can't go in! Let's keep going, we have to hurry, you have to hold on. ”
He said. Then he stretched out his hand to help Yao Yao and continued to crawl up.
After climbing for about an hour, the two of them, who were exhausted and gasping for breath, suddenly felt a shock.
It's a fresh wind......
Yao Yao was excited, suddenly broke free of Zhao Xiaobai's hand, jumped up, landed on the steps more than ten steps in front of him, and stood on one leg.
"Spells can be used here!" Yao Yao shouted, the look on his face was very exciting.
Zhao Xiaobai's mind moved, and he stepped to Yao Yao's side in one step, and said in surprise: "It's okay now, we're on the right track!"
"You should be able to leave this hellish place not far ahead!"
"I can use Zeni too, we're saved!" thanks to ......."
"Well, thank God!"
Seeing Zhao Xiaobai dancing with joy, Yao Yao opened her mouth wide and smiled.
"......"
When she smiled, her black and dirty face suddenly looked a little terrifying, but her eyes were as bright as stars, and her eyes were as clean as white clouds in the sky and clear skies.
Zhao Xiaobai knew that if it weren't for the smudges on her face, her face at this time would definitely be brighter than the purple moon in the sky.
Yao Yao couldn't continue to fly, looking at Zhao Xiaobai, who was gradually calming down, she stretched out her hand to him again, indicating that she still needed his support.
The short period of life and death together established a firm trust in the hearts of the two.
The two of them turned a corner with each other, and they saw a faint light in front of them. If you listen closely, there seems to be a slight wind rustling the leaves of the trees, and the running water lapping against the stones......
"Ah... Ah...h
Yao Yao shouted, hugged Zhao Xiaobai, and cried with joy.
Zhao Xiaobai didn't move, so he let Yao Yao just hold it, feeling the slippery and warm of her body, and calmly motionless.
Time and space seem to stand still for a moment......
Walking upward, the light became brighter and brighter, and with the blessings of true power and telekinesis, the speed of the two of them also increased a lot.
Half an hour later, peeling away the heavy thorns and huge rattans, the two of them saw a stunned picture:
It's a big place here!
The trees are lush, and there is a stream that flows quietly, and unknown flowers are blooming, and the unnamed trees are full of fruit hanging from the branches......
Hundreds of birds sing, and the breeze blows through the gently undulating hills...... What seems to be a huge concave basin here?
Zhao Xiaobai looked around, and was immediately a little discouraged: there were cliffs on all sides, which could be a sinkhole formed by the collapse of the top of a huge mountain peak.
I don't know if I can find my way down?
If I climb the cliff, I may barely be able to do it myself, but Yao Yao's legs ...... Oh! Let's find a place to wash this mud first!
Hearing the sound of running water, Zhao Xiaobai helped Yao Yao, lifted the weeds, and walked forward more than twenty steps.
Through the verdant trees, I saw a clear spring flowing out in the middle of a cliff, and this clear spring was six or seven zhang high, flowing straight down, forming a small waterfall.
At this time, the yellow sun in the sky was shining, and the two who had just come out of the underground labyrinth felt that the jungle was hot.
"Yao Yao, let's go over there and wash it first, it's dirty and smelly!"
Seeing Yao Yao frowning at the thorny jungle, Zhao Xiaobai picked her up and carried her on his back.
After a while, it seemed to go down to the bottom of the valley, and there was a path in front of me, with few weeds, leading straight to the waterfall.
Zhao Xiaobai knew that there were also strange things here, but he didn't have the heart to doubt at this time, and he walked quickly with Yao Yao on his back, and soon arrived at the bottom of the waterfall.
A small stone pool suddenly came into view.
"Ah, what a pretty little pool! Bathe. Yao Yao said.
For a girl, it's terrible to be dirty!
Zhao Xiaobai walked directly into the pool with Yao Yao in his arms, and his whole body was soon surrounded by coolness.
This feeling is very refreshing.
Feeling Yao Yao slippery from his back with the buoyancy of the water, Zhao Xiaobai plunged into the water......
