Chapter 246 [Hourglass timing?] (Part 2)

Xia Ya shouted loudly, turned over and swung the fire fork over. A muffled groan immediately came from the hole. The fire fork seemed to have encountered some obstacle. After a crisp knock, it seemed to have broken something, and then a muffled groan with pain inside...

Xia Ya was about to stab the fire fork in, but when she heard this sound, she suddenly withdrew her arm and took a few steps back! Although the sound just now sounded a little blurry, at least Xia Ya confirmed something: it was a human voice!

"What's the matter! I'm a human or a ghost! Get out of here! Otherwise I'll be stabbed!"

Shaya held the fire fork and shouted loudly.

When he roared, his voice suddenly made the container buzz, and he heard a scream from inside. The screaming sound was crisp and tender, and it was the voice of a young woman. After a cheer, a cheerful shout came from inside: "Ah! Don't do it! It's Xia Ya! It's Xia Ya!"

There was a scattering inside, and then a figure emerged from the hole in a hurry. Half of the body, dusty iron filings, and half of the head were covered in dust. It seemed as if it had been pulled out of the soil. It couldn't see its original face clearly, but the eyes were shiny and full of spiritual energy. The eyes turned twice on Xia Ya's body, and the eyes were quickly filled with smiles, and those eyes were bent.

With a cheer, the small body jumped out, like a milk swallow returning to the nest, rushed to Xia Ya and rushed into Xia Ya's arms without saying a word.

Xia Ya had already seen it clearly and understood it, but his expression was full of surprise. He widened his eyes and even his mouth was grinning. He just looked at the person who bumped into his arms in surprise.

Finally, he struggled to squeeze out a few words from his throat.

"Su, Su Ling? Why did you girl come here?!"

Su Ling did not answer, but just struggled to get into Xia Ya's arms, laughing and screaming, as happy as a swallow.

However, afterwards, a figure emerged from the hole in the container, still so dirty. However, after carefully identifying it, Xia Ya immediately recognized it.

It was that boy Zaku, Acai.

"You?" Xia Ya was stunned, and then her face suddenly became dark: "What the hell! Why did you come here? Didn't you ask you to take this girl back quickly? How could you run in!"

A Cai wiped his face hard. His face was the same as Su Ling, and he didn't know which pile of soil came out of the dusty mound. With such a touch, he suddenly became a big flowery face, with a frown expression. Facing Xia Ya's questioning, A Cai smiled bitterly and swallowed his saliva: "I, I..."

"What are you?" Xia Ya shouted in a slut, "Didn't you tell you to escort this girl back!"

As he said that, he pushed Su Ling away from his arms with force.

A Cai looked at Su Ling, then looked at Xia Ya, and finally said helplessly: "Yes, I promised you to send her back, but... I forgot something very important."

"What's the matter?" Xia Ya put away the fire fork in dissatisfaction.

"I..." A Cai looked embarrassed, but finally gave the answer: "I can't beat her... In fact, it was her who forced me to come in with you."

Xia Ya was stunned, looked at Su Ling, and then looked at A Cai: "You... can't beat...her?!"

A Cai bit her lip and couldn't speak. Su Ling raised her plump breasts and smiled proudly, but her face was covered with dust, but she covered her lise with pride, and her tone was proud: "Of course! You can be thought that I am the kind of delicate and powerless woman! I am the daughter of the chief. I have had the best warriors in the tribe since I was a child to act as my teacher."

Xia Ya was stunned: "But... that night, you were..."

Su Ling's eyes were a little embarrassed: "That night... I was caught off guard and was stopped by those guys, but..." She straightened her chest: "I am usually very powerful!"

"Nonsense!" Xia Ya was furious and suddenly roared: "What are you kidding! This ghost place is simply a bottomless pit! Do you think this is a game!!"

He was so angry that he cursed. After a while, the two young men remained silent. A Cai looked embarrassed. As for Su Ling, she had an indifferent expression on her face. Occai occasionally glanced at Xia Ya with shy eyes.

Finally, when Xia Ya's scolding stopped a little, A Cai spoke: "Sir, I know we were wrong, but..."

"Stop talking about this." Xia Ya lowered her face, pointed to the container and shouted, "What's going on? Why did you get here?"

"Ah!" Su Ling screamed: "There is a hole in it! We drilled from below! The bottom is so dirty! We drilled in a dark cave for a long time before finally drilling out! But we didn't expect to run into such a black big guy...we..."

"Shut up." Xia Ya yelled in anger, then pointed at A Cai: "You said, what's going on!"

A Cai looked at Su Ling carefully, and then slowly said, "Sir, just after you came in, Su Ling forced me to come down together. However, we didn't find you after we came in. After entering a cave, we walked through many forks along the way... It was like a big maze. There were also many passages in many places that were closed to death. However, when we crossed a bridge, we encountered a collapse and both of us fell into an underground river. Fortunately, we were lucky that we were not drowned, but were rushed into another cave by the undercurrent..."

"Yes, yes! There are so many in that cave..." Su Ling couldn't wait to scream immediately.

"Shut up!" Xia Ya glared at Su Ling again, and looked at A Cai again: "You said! Tell me carefully."

"Yes." A Cai took a breath: "The cave is a big open space, nothing, empty, just like a square for sacrifices in our tribal village. There are many stones piled on the ground, just like an array. We swayed there for a long time, but we couldn't find a way out, and later... Later..."

"What happened later?"

A Cai seemed a little hesitant, but after Xia Ya glared, he sighed honestly: "Later, Su Ling didn't know that he encountered a stone platform. We found that the stones looked very large, but many of them were hollow. After moving them for a while, they found that their weight was very light. There were many deep grooves on the ground in that square. We pushed the stones around the groove... Well, there were many grooves on the ground in that place, and it seemed to be some very regular patterns. I didn't know anything. I just followed Su Ling's instructions and pushed the stones in the groove several times, putting a strange array... A hole appeared on the ground, and we ran into the hole..."

"Wait." Xia Ya immediately turned her head to see Su Ling, but the girl had already wiped the dust on her face with her sleeve. Xia Ya looked at her: "How do you know how to move those stones?"

"It's very simple." Su Ling looked up, her eyes seemed to be relaxed, and she said casually: "I recognize those patterns on the ground."

"Do you recognize it?" Xia Ya immediately stared at Su Ling: "What pattern is that? How could you recognize it?"

Su Ling blinked her eyes, as if she was stunned, but then shook her head: "I don't know what to say, I just recognize them. I have seen those patterns since I was a child. Many ancient holy utensils in our tribe have these patterns. The holy utensils in our tribe are piled up in my father's tent, many of which are not allowed to touch on me on weekdays, and no one can touch them. However, I like to sneak in and play since I was a child. When I was a child, I held those things and played with them. It happened to be that there were so many deep grooves on the ground in that cave, it seemed to be a pattern I had seen, so..."

Xia Ya waved her hand and looked at A Cai again: "You keep talking!"

"Ah? Ah, yes..." Acai opened his mouth: "We walked down the hole that appeared on the ground and found that there was another layer under the cave. On the side was a large transparent pipe and a door below. After we walked into the door, the person suddenly sank in the pipe! He kept sinking and didn't know how long it took for the pipe to bottom. After we came out, we saw a bunch of strange iron tables, with some rotating things on it, as if they were roulettes and compass."

A Cai thought for a while and added: "Ah, by the way, that place full of iron tables is like a room, and there is a picture on the wall and the pattern seems to be a map!"

Xia Ya's eyes lit up immediately: "Map?! Are you sure?!"

A Caizheng nodded with emphasis: "I think I can be sure. Because I didn't recognize it at the beginning, but later I saw a familiar route on the pattern, and there were exactly two. From the direction and position, it happened to be the transparent tube we passed by that would automatically descend. The center seemed to be the room with an iron table..."

His eyes suddenly dodged: "The picture is carved on the wall, and it seems to be glowing. I touched it and it seemed to be a stone, well... it's like a gem I've seen, but I've never seen such a large piece before. And... and..."

"What else? Tell me!" Xia Ya's face was anxious.

"Also, Su Ling..." Acai swallowed and spitted: "There is another thing that I am a little uneasy, and I always feel a little strange..."

"eccentric?"

"Yes, weird." A Cai said carefully: "In that place, Su Ling tinkered around everywhere. I told her not to touch things, but she didn't listen to me. There were so many roulettes and compass on the iron table, she turned a few at will, and didn't know what was turning... Then, then... Then suddenly there was a movement, and a transparent hourglass fell off the wall! I saw the sand in the hourglass, all of which were pure gold. The hourglass suddenly turned out from the wall, and the sand inside began to fall... Then, I also found that the map on the wall suddenly changed! There was a line on the map, which suddenly turned into a red light, and was distinguished from other routes."

After hearing this, Xia Ya felt a little strange in her heart.

"I felt something was wrong, so I pulled Su Ling to leave, but I found that the door we came in had been closed before, and even the transparent pipe that could automatically lift and lower was not moved. Fortunately... I looked at the map on the wall, and there was an exit that could still be used. I followed the red route on the map on the wall, and found a secret door in the room, which was a vertical pipe. We got in. There was too much dust inside, which almost choked us to death. We just climbed so hard that we finally came here..."

Hourglass? Start time? The map on the wall suddenly automatically marks a separate red route?

As soon as Xia Ya thought of this, she suddenly heard a loud "rumbling" sound!

The huge roar seemed to be coming from under your feet! Then the entire cave shaking violently, and the roaring sound lasted for several breaths. With the violent shaking, the stones on the top of the cave peeled off one after another, which made the three of them unstable. Su Ling even crashed into Xia Ya's arms!

This change came suddenly and went quickly. After that loud bang, the cave shaking stopped soon, but deep into the ground below, a series of vague roars still came intermittently...

The sound seemed to be getting deeper and deeper, from the depths of the underground...

It seems... something is wrong?!
