Chapter 359: The Terrace of Daylight
Chapter 359: The Terrace of the Sun
Shen Shi searched carefully in this hall, inside and out, but in the ruins, there was nothing worth paying attention to except for those few stone carvings. The drizzle fell and the moss was slippery, as if it were a record of the glory of the past, but now only a piece of desolation remains.
He walked out, and when he stood on the avenue outside the temple, he couldn't help but look back again. The scale of this hall is actually not small, and the building is also very careful, judging from the fact that there are those stone carvings here, this hall should be a place of high status in the era when the forest people were still there, and it is likely to be an important sacrificial hall, because in the ancient records, it seems that people in ancient times only left traces of history in places like altars.
But all of this naturally can't be verified now, there is nothing here, let alone the biggest purpose of his coming here, the rejuvenating flower that Gu Lingyun explained. So he continued to walk forward, but the strange stone carvings in the hall still lingered in his mind for a long time, refusing to disperse.
The further I went, the more I felt that the rain ruins were wider and grander than I had thought before, the streets were getting longer and longer, the roads were getting wider and wider, and there were more and more stone houses and stone platforms built of white stone. Although all the places have long been abandoned now, walking in this magnificent rain ruins, Shen Shi felt that he had a sense of insignificance, and he even sketched in his mind a picture of the lively and prosperous life scene in this vast city in the past, where the streets were full of traffic, and countless forest people came in and out of the large and small houses.
But when the cold wind blew and the drizzle fell on his face, it reminded him that he was now alone walking alone in this ruin.
He walked alone for a long time, the rain ruins were huge, he was like walking alone in an empty city, everything seemed a little weird, but what surprised Shen Shi the most was that he had never encountered any danger.
There were no monsters, no poisonous insects, no strange rainforest plants, and all the dangers that he had encountered on the way over that gave him a headache did not appear in the rain ruins. It looks like an unusually safe place.
But in addition to these things, he also didn't find the retaining flower he was looking for, or the sundeck that the spy said before he died.
He spent three days in the rain ruins, walking through almost every part of the vast ruins, and finally even ventured to the tops of several high platforms, but to his disappointment, the highest part of the high platforms was also just a plain piece of land, and there was nothing strange about it.
All the experiences have shown one thing, the secret agent who told Gu Lingyun may not have told the truth before he died.
Although this rain ruin does look very strange, there must be some unknown secret hidden in it, so that the many dangers in the rainforest dare not enter this ruin, but at least for now, Shen Shi has determined that there is no so-called retaining flower in this rain ruin.
So when the fourth day came, he decided to get out of here. Anyway, even if he went back with empty hands now, he would be able to give Gu Lingyun a clear conscience. Perhaps because of this, Shen Shi felt very relieved when he left Yuxu, and he didn't have any regrets.
The abandoned city remained silent, silently watching the passing Terran man leave alone, where time seemed to freeze, always still.
Shen Shi returned along the same road, which was considered a light road, but after walking out of the road for a while, he suddenly let out a "huh", stood on the tall and thick branch and looked up at the sky.
I don't know when it began, the seemingly never-ending rain in the alder realm was gone, and the clouds above the sky quietly dispersed, and after a while, there was a faint but indeed warm sunshine, which penetrated through the clouds, adding a bit of golden brilliance to this gloomy world.
On this day, it was actually a sunny day!
The alder world is rainy all year round, and it rains nine out of nine days a year, but if you really want to talk about it, if you are lucky enough, in fact, people in the alder world will occasionally see a few rare sunny days.
Today is undoubtedly a lucky day.
With the sprinkling of the golden sunlight in the sky, although it is still very weak, after enduring the days of lewd rain and rain for a long time, it is really pleasant to see this ray of sunshine again, even if a person with a firm mind like Shen Shi can't help but show a smile at this moment.
After closing his eyes and taking a deep breath of the fresh but no longer cold air after the rain, he strode forward again.
It's just that when he gradually faded away, he didn't notice that the ray of sunlight not only fell on him, but also sprinkled on the rainforest, including the rain ruins that were getting farther and farther behind him. When the sunlight from the sky fell on the empty ruins, the rain ruins, which had been silent, suddenly changed strangely, and the place where it first started was the tallest, largest, and first sun-lit high platform.
The sun shone on the high platform, reflecting a dazzling light, so bright that it was a little brighter than the sun falling from the sky.
It was the platform where the sun fell.
※※※
Shen Shi didn't know anything about what was happening in the rainforest behind him, as if he had passed by the strange changes that happened in the rain ruins on that sunny day. In the following days, he walked in the rainforest for a few more days, returning the same way, and along the way he still encountered some monsters, poisonous insects and those troubles unique to the rainforest, but after experience, he was already very comfortable coping, so he returned to the place where he had just entered the rainforest a day earlier than when he came.
At the edge of the woods, he began to call for the fox, but no matter how much he shouted or whistled, the fox did not appear. Shen Shi's originally good mood slowly sank a little.
However, he did not give up immediately, but began to search in the area around the rainforest, but as time passed, the place he looked for became larger and larger, but the fox was still nowhere to be seen, and in his heart, a feeling of disappointment gradually began to appear.
Perhaps, the fox will not be recovered.
That was what he had thought on his third day of searching for the fox, when he returned to the place where he had been separated from the fox again without finding anything. The Alder Realm is not a safe place, the rainforest here is full of monsters and poisonous insects, and there are various Terran monks outside the rainforest, each of which is dangerous enough to pose a deadly threat to ordinary beasts like foxes.
Maybe it's your own negligence, you should let it follow you.
Shen Shi was in a little depressed, for some reason, when he was standing outside the rainforest, he suddenly thought of Xiao Hei, who had been with him a long time ago, and then naturally, he thought of the demon world where he met Xiao Hei.
He remembered that in this alder realm, there was actually an ancient teleportation circle, which led to a place called the Flying Rainbow Realm, and after passing through the Flying Rainbow Realm, it was the demon realm that had been separated from the human race for 10,000 years.
He stood silently, remembering the three years in the demon world, when the rain from the sky fell down, he suddenly felt a little lonely.
