"What's going on?" Su Bai didn't feel that he was moving just now. When he woke up, he was only half a meter away from the fire tree, and he was about to get close. If the fire tree could talk, it must be
I invite you to take a seat. Otherwise, how could I have approached so mysteriously?
Gong Susu pulled Subai a little further away, and took out a bottle from her pocket. It was exactly the same as the porcelain bottle that contained geocentric flower juice before. However, it contained some white pills instead of juice. She poured out two
One pill, he took it first, then put the remaining one in Su Bai's hand: "Eat it."
"What is this?" Su Bai first took it under his nose and smelled it. There was a pungent and strong fragrance, like mustard, and then he put it into his mouth. A spicy smell immediately filled the entire mouth, and even the trachea trembled.
Su Bai let out a belch. Seeing Gong Susu's face with a smile, Su Bai said sheepishly: "This thing is too spicy, too spicy!"
"It'll be fine if you get used to it. People have patience." Gong Susu was obviously used to it: "This medicine was prepared by the clan leader."
This clan leader is obviously another Qixie. In the Yin people organization, Qixie is very familiar with the medicinal properties of various plants. Fu Yu and him usually like to talk about these things, but Bai Yi is not very interested. What he comes into contact with is
Modern medicine, however, he does not object to the research on Fu Yu and Qixie. All things have their reasons for existence.
After taking the medicine, Gong Susu simply put the bottle of medicine into Su Bai's hand: "You will definitely come in handy in the future."
Subai was not polite and immediately put it away. Gong Susu pulled Subai and carefully avoided the fire tree blocking the middle of the road. It turned out that there was a secret door behind the fire tree.
When opened, a relatively neat path appears inside, still made of stones, but much more compact and detailed.
Strangely enough, after taking the pill, Su Bai felt much cooler, and the fire tree was no longer so scorching. When he got into the path, he felt a gust of wind blowing in his face, which was very comfortable: "It's really comfortable.
Comfortable."
Gong Susu showed a wry smile: "This is just how you feel now. If you continue, you may not think so. Let's go and wrap your clothes tighter."
Wrap your clothes tighter? Although Su Bai was curious, he still listened to Gong Susu's words, wrapped his clothes tightly, and walked down the path for about 200 meters. The comfortable feeling just now disappeared completely.
Now, the wind is like an ice knife, ruthlessly passing through the clothes and blowing hard against his skin. This is probably how Ling Chi felt in ancient times. Subai's face twitched in the wind,
He wanted to open his mouth and ask Susu this
What happened? As soon as he opened his mouth, the bone-chilling wind entered his mouth. He felt that his intestines were about to be frozen. How could Subai dare to try again? He closed his mouth tightly and followed obediently.
Behind Gong Susu, he didn't know how far this section of the road was. He only knew that the cold wind seemed to be resisting their entry. Finally, the wind disappeared. Only then did Subei look back. When he looked around, he immediately fell on his butt.
Sitting on the ground: "Isn't it?"
After working hard for most of the day, his face was numb and his body was stiff. He only traveled about fifty meters. Su Bai felt that his whole body was extremely tired. As soon as he sat down, he didn't want to get up again.
Gong Susu's expression wasn't much better. Seeing Subai acting like a child again, she couldn't help but sigh: "Now you know why this intersection is unbearable for ordinary people. What we are experiencing now
, it’s just a drop in the bucket. If you go further down, there will be more that you have never heard of or seen.”
Still want to go down? Su Bai said with a bitter look on his face: "Susu, I think we have been walking for a little while, right?"
"No, based on my past experience, it has been at least ten hours since I came here." Gong Susu said, "Do you feel strange that you are not thirsty or hungry?"
This immediately made Su Bai's body tremble. For ten hours, including the previous time, he had not had a sip of water in these ten hours. He completely forgot that he was still a human being and that he could not survive without water and food rations.
Yes, Su Bai said: "What's going on?"
"I don't know." Gong Susu said: "It's like a person in the desert. Although he doesn't feel thirsty, his body has reached a critical point. Therefore, he must not wait until he is thirsty before drinking water. He must replenish it from time to time.
, it’s actually the same here, since you’re tired, let’s sit down and take a rest.”
Sitting side by side with Gong Susu in this narrow space, smelling the fragrance emanating from her body, Su Bai felt a little sad. Gong Susu said: "Have you ever thought about what it feels like to live deep underground for many years?
"
"I won't be able to bear it," Suber said.
Gong Susu smiled instead: "I used to be like you. I thought I couldn't bear it, so I thought about running away. But when I felt the pressure and responsibility on my body, I suddenly felt motivated to fight no matter how difficult it was.
, since this is our fate, we have to accept it and get used to it. In fact, it is just another way of life."
Subai took a deep breath and said, "If you hadn't run away, you wouldn't have met my grandma."
As Subai spoke, he touched the necklace around his neck. Gong Susu lowered her head and smiled: "Although I don't know much about her, I admire her inexplicably. She has a resilience in her."
"It's just willfulness." Su Bai said angrily: "Leave your daughter alone and come out to find that heartless man. If there is anything to find, it's better to forget each other in the world."
Gong Susu was stunned and lowered her head in silence. Su Bai knew that talking too fast would definitely lead to trouble. He immediately put away the angry look on his face and said seriously: "I know that some people can never be forgotten in their lifetime."
Gong Susu said nothing, just took out the kettle: "Drink some water and eat something, we have to continue."
"I wonder how Yue Qing and the others are doing." Su Bai said.
"With my people here, they won't have any problems. Even if Dai Jieli comes back again, it will be at least a few days later." Gong Susu said, "You can rest assured."
After resting enough, the two of them continued walking along the path. Su Bai probably understood why there were no traps here. The fire tree just now was inaccessible to ordinary people. Then the ice and cold became another difficulty. And now, here...
Why is there a suspension bridge?
To be precise, it is composed of four ropes, two at the top and two at the bottom. The reason why the ropes appear is that they are insurmountable. When the trail reaches this point, a black river appears.
Some black mucus was slowly flowing. Subai moved and kicked some gravel down. As soon as it fell into the black mucus, pungent black smoke immediately emitted. Subai took a step back and patted his chest: "This
What the hell is it?”
"Magma." Gong Susu said: "To be precise..."
"Molten material." Suber said: "This is a more official statement, hot and viscous, but we can only see it when a volcano erupts, and at high temperatures, it usually appears red. Is this?"
"This is just my guess. These things may be the original liquid of magma." Gong Susu said: "You saw just now that this liquid is extremely corrosive."
"Can this rope hold up?" Su Bai reminded himself. It's not that he is timid, but there is strong acid liquid underneath. This rope is probably a few years old. If it is disconnected, as soon as the body falls down, it will disappear immediately.
Is it in the black slime?
Subai was still hesitating, but Gong Susu had already jumped up neatly, stepped on it with his left and right feet respectively, grabbed the rope above with both hands, and moved forward slowly...
Gong Susu, a girl, was so straightforward. Subai's face turned red. He closed his eyes for a moment and then looked up. The things under his feet were really scary. Out of sight was out of sight. Subai took a deep breath.
Then I stepped on it carefully. I originally thought that the rope would sway from side to side. Unexpectedly, when Su Bai's big head went up, the rope did not move at all. Moreover, although the rope was smooth, there was no sign of letting go when I put my hand on it.
Subai raised his head upward, not looking at his feet. After walking out for a few meters, he felt that it was quite comfortable. He didn't know what material the rope was made of. It was much harder than it looked.
Gong Susu's speed was astonishing. In just a moment, she had reached the other side. She was looking at Su Bai anxiously. Su Bai felt a little embarrassed. It was like participating in a sports meeting and originally wanted to run out in front of the girl he liked.
I had a good result, but I fell down halfway through the race. I was so embarrassed. This kind of thing is really inappropriate...
Subai reached the other side in embarrassment. Gong Susu did not hesitate to praise her: "This is the first time that you are so calm. It is really rare."
"It's far behind compared to you." Su Bai said, "The material of the rope is very special, and it's not slippery."
"I don't know what treatment was done above." Gong Susu said: "I guess it was also done by the dragon woman, but over the years, there is no sign of decay at all, which is really amazing."
Su Bai suddenly had a strange idea. If he used a knife to chop it, could he cut it off? Of course, this was just a thought. Su Bai immediately dismissed it. If he cut it, wouldn't he be able to cut it off in the future?
Come here?
Gong Susu's breathing suddenly became rapid, and Su Bai asked with concern: "Susu, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Are you okay?" Gong Susu asked.
Subo looked at himself doubtfully, then shook his head: "I don't have any special feeling."
"Sure enough, it is indeed different." Gong Susu said: "This is why we are looking for the descendants of the Dragon Clan. When ordinary people come here, they will feel their heartbeat speeding up and all the muscles in their body are contracting, which is very painful.
But you don’t feel anything at all…”
When Gong Susu said this, her body was obviously shaking. She kept gasping for air and finally squatted on the ground. In just a few days, she came here twice and she had already exceeded her body's load. Su Bai
He reached out to help Gong Susu. As soon as his hands fell on Gong Susu's shoulders, his expression tightened: "What's wrong with you?"
