Obviously, if the so-called festival is underground, they must have a special way to move it underground.

There should be a secret door or something like a basement here.

Bai Ye carefully searched the ground here again to see if there were any holes, or hidden door handles or ladders.

Not finding it yet, he thought for a while and opened his own data perspective.

The data perspective was activated, everything around him became brighter, and a waterfall-like torrent of data fell from the sky in the white night's field of vision, sweeping in all directions.

Most places were exactly the same as from a normal perspective, and no difference could be seen. Until Bai Ye shifted his gaze to a nearby bush.

Just inside the bush, he saw a metal handle hidden among the ordinary plants!

Not only that, there are some electronic circuits in the metal handle.

Bai Ye immediately understood that they had hidden the mechanism here!

He walked over and turned the metal handle.

Suddenly, a small vibrating sound sounded, and a hidden door slowly rose from the ground in the center of the square!

This hidden door should be where Bai Ye wants to go.

He looked under the door and saw that everything was dark. There was no light at all.

From the door, you can vaguely hear the voices of those people underground. It seems to be the sound of music and dancing.

You can hear more clearly than if you put your ear directly to the ground.

If nothing else, the place Bai Ye wants to find is right here.

Bai Ye looked at the dark hole. He didn't know exactly what was waiting for him below. It was probably some dangerous existence!

After all, this is a place where weird things gather. Just ten minutes ago, there was a black figure in his room who wanted to kill him.

But Bai Ye is not afraid. He knows that crises usually come with opportunities.

If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs?

He took a deep breath and entered the door.

The space behind this door is very small, with only a small platform. Under the platform is a ladder leading to the ground below.

Bai Ye grabbed the ladder and slowly went down. Above his head, the door seemed to be able to sense human actions and closed automatically.

The only glimmer of light above the head also disappeared completely. The white night fell into pure darkness.

He continued to climb down. From the data perspective, he could see that there was still an electronic handle inside that was very similar to the one in the bushes. If he wanted to get out at that time, he just had to turn on this switch. So he was not nervous.

As long as there is a way out and he can get out when he wants to escape, he will feel relieved.

Bai Ye continued to go down, and the ladder was not too long. After getting off the ladder, Bai Ye stepped on the rocky ground. It felt very good to be down to earth.

Behind him is a deep and long passage. The passage can barely accommodate one person walking through it. It is so winding that it is difficult to directly see the entire tunnel from here.

After making sure there was no danger here, Bai Ye tentatively walked in.

The further you go in, the clearer the sounds inside become. Sure enough, they are sounds like dancing, singing, and activities.

There is no doubt that this is where the so-called festival is held.

We are moving forward in the darkness in the white night. The tunnel is obviously not natural but man-made, and many traces of cutting and axe can be seen on it. There are also some lighting facilities, and there will be lights illuminating a section of the road from not too far away.

.

However, these lighting facilities are completely in disrepair. Some bulbs are broken, and some have a layer of dust on the outer glass cover. The lighting effect is greatly reduced.

Only a little light was left, allowing Bai Ye to barely see the road under his feet.

Strangely, these lighting equipment have obviously not been maintained for a long time.

But the people in the town still use the things here and hold festivals in the depths. Can't they spend a few minutes repairing the things here? It's better than enduring such lighting, right?

Bai Ye thought like this, don't they need to watch the road?

At this moment, he suddenly thought of the people he met in the small town last night.

A whole group of people walked silently in the dark. In a dark town, there is no need for any lights or street lights.

Moreover, they seem to be able to see things in the dark. Their eyes emit a faint light like some animals.

Bai Ye guessed that those people and the people currently holding the festival deep in the tunnel were probably the kind of creatures that could still see things in the dark. Or, they didn't need any eyesight at all!

With this ability, they still don't need light in such a dark and narrow tunnel. That's why they don't repair these lights and lighting equipment.

Bai Ye became wary. If his guess was correct, then he would have to be even more cautious.

If you hide in an ordinary place, darkness can be your protective color. But that doesn't work here. There is no difference between darkness and day for those creatures. And your vision will be greatly restricted by darkness. Once you get into battle, it will be very dangerous.

things.

Bai Ye continued to move forward cautiously. Finally, he reached the end of the tunnel. Here was an extremely spacious hall!

The hall is as big as a football field and very high. At most, there are some stone pillars and stalactites. It is very likely that the cave was converted into a place.

Bai Ye stuck his head out and watched carefully.

A dark ceremony is taking place inside!

When it comes to festivals, most people think of lively fireworks, fires, and dancing around the fires.

But at this time, there was no light in front of Bai Ye's eyes! There was no flame.

There is only pure darkness.

Torches, fireworks, fires... these things don't exist at all. There is no lively and festive atmosphere at all.

Instead, there was a group of extremely weird guys, jumping and jumping around a huge thing in the dark. They sang extremely weird tunes. Bai Ye even thought that ordinary humans couldn't make such weird sounds!

These "people" are all wearing colorful clothes, and they can be recognized in the daytime. The clothes they wear are the things that were transported here during the day.

These people's voices were very loud and their body language was extremely intense. If you didn't look at the picture, it seemed that these people were full of passion. However, Bai Ye could clearly see that all of their faces were expressionless.

Each and every one of them not only showed no joy at all, but also no trace of human emotion. Their faces were as if they were wearing rigid masks, cold and lifeless!

Such a scene makes people feel creepy and extremely weird.

The sound of their "singing" echoed in the cave. With the blessing of the echo, the weird sounds were superimposed, making them even weirder, even making Bai Ye feel uncomfortable.

This is true both physically and mentally.

He endured the discomfort and continued to observe.

All the "people" were holding hands and dancing around a huge thing. Looking carefully, this huge thing turned out to be a big black tree stump.

Even ten people could not encircle the entire stump. It was very thick.

The top of the tree stump was completely empty. There were no trunks and branches. It must be that for some reason, this originally huge tree was destroyed.

Bai Ye suddenly remembered what the waiter said.

When he asked if there were any tall and lush plants here, the waiter said that hundreds of years ago, there used to be an extremely tall and strong tree! But then a fire broke out and the tree was burned down.

Later residents of the town didn't even know where the ruins of the big tree were.

It seems that what this waiter said is actually half truth and half lie.

There really is such a big tree, and the ruins are right in front of you!

As for the fact that none of the townspeople know where the ruins are, that's complete nonsense.

Not only do they know about it, they even perform rituals around the big tree.

Bai Ye was pleasantly surprised. This big tree was probably the place he was looking for.

Because blue flowers usually grow near tall and towering ancient trees. Looking at the entire Blackwater Town, this is the only place that is connected to tall and ancient trees.

Bai Ye looked up at the top of the cave and everywhere he could see, searching for traces of the blue Hibiscus flower.

Unfortunately, not only were there no blue Higan flowers, I didn't even see any flowers.

According to [Emma]'s information, the Blue Higanbana should appear near such a place... Where would it be?

Bai Ye looked at the tree stump. The tree stump was very big and blocked a lot of his sight. Could it be behind the tree stump?

Bai Ye made up his mind and decided that he would find an opportunity to look behind the tree stump to see if there was anything he wanted.

There is a chance that the blue Higanbana will grow inside the tree stump. You can go inside and see if there are any traces of the Blue Higanbana.

At this time, the group of people were still making weird noises and jumping around. Bai Ye wanted to know what they were doing?

What is the meaning of this so-called festival?

Just when Bai Ye was questioning, something strange happened.

At this time, everyone's voices became smaller and smaller. Then they all knelt on the ground in unison, with their heads hanging low, as if they were worshiping devoutly.

The cave suddenly became silent. Only the echo of the voice just now echoed here. It was so faint that it made people feel hairy in their hearts.

What are they doing? Kneel down and worship the tree?

Bai Ye watched the actions of these people and suddenly discovered that black mist was floating on the huge tree stump!

This kind of mist became more and more abundant, became more and more dense, and finally twisted to form the shape of human beings.
