I don’t know how long I floated on the suspended slide. Even I gave up hope. I felt like I was really in outer space, and I might end my hasty life floating like this.
But suddenly I fell into darkness.
I felt my back hurt from the fall.
There is gravity.
This is my first reaction.
And judging from my initial physical sensation, this gravitational force should be the gravitational force on the earth.
Could it be that I am floating, and I am back on the earth again.
Or should we say that this world, or even bigger, this universe, whether it is time or space, is originally a reciprocating circle?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but try to open my eyes.
However, what caught his eye was a huge pale face.
"Ah!" I shouted in fright.
That's a woman's face.
However, after I calmed down and took a closer look, I discovered that it turned out to be a face carved into a hillside.
The woman's face is shaped like a Chinese character, and she wears a huge hair crown on her head.
The hollow carvings on the hair crown look a bit like pavilions.
In the center of the hair crown, there is a huge red pillar.
I don't know what is inlaid on the pillar, but it emits a dark red light in this dark environment.
Therefore, I was able to clearly see the details carved on the face on the hillside.
The woman, with red phoenix eyes and sharp eyebrows, looked at me who was as thin as an ant at the foot of the mountain with her big eyes.
Even though I knew it was a sculpture, I still got goosebumps all over my body when she saw it.
I don’t know if this is in Shennongjia or not.
I thought silently in my heart.
At this time, I felt something approaching from behind me.
I wanted to turn around and look, but the cold air approaching behind me kept me from turning around.
"Cang'er."
Suddenly, a familiar voice came into my ears.
It's the father.
I was so excited that I turned around.
Unexpectedly, my father grabbed my mouth from behind me, and then pressed my whole body to the ground.
"Uh-huh, Dad." I struggled to make a sound through the gap between my father's fingertips.
"Cang'er, don't talk." My father finally released his fingers and then made a silent gesture towards me.
I stared at him blankly, totally unaware of the situation.
In this short period of time, all the long hair on my father's body fell away, and his vocal cords returned to normal. Is that Hua'erhong really so powerful?
While I was still thinking, my father suddenly pointed around us with his fingers.
At this time, I suddenly realized that my attention had been excessively attracted by the huge female face carved on the mountain, so I didn't notice anything around me at all.
I followed my father's fingers and circled around, and then I discovered that what I thought was a huge red pillar embedded in the woman's hair crown was actually also around us.
These unknown red objects were carved by skilled craftsmen into human-like figures. They were particularly tall and seemed to be wrapped in red robes.
However, it is very strange that the heads of these statues are covered with a layer of mist, so it is impossible to see clearly what their facial expressions are.
What’s even weirder is that these red statues actually move on their own.
And they seemed to have discovered the appearance of two foreign figures, my father and me, and were slowly approaching us at the moment.
So, this is why my father asked me to keep quiet.
I squatted on the ground next to my father, with thin beads of sweat oozing out from my forehead.
However, despite being in such a critical environment, thinking that I was fighting side by side with my father, and compared to being in the whirlpool just now, I was still extremely happy at this moment.
"Cang'er," my father suddenly spoke. Although his voice was very low, I was still frightened.
"Dad," my voice was even lower, for fear of accidentally alerting the giants in red who were looking for us.
"They don't seem to be coming for us, they seem to be going to worship the human face carved on the stone wall." said the father.
Hearing what my father said, I couldn't help but raise my head and look around at the red giant who was getting closer and closer.
"Dad, it seems like this is true. So, does that mean we can escape?" I asked timidly.
After all, even if these red giants are not here to attack us, it is still very uncomfortable to be surrounded by them.
"Let's wait and see what they are going to do. Is it possible that there really is a supernatural phenomenon?" The first half of what my father said was to me, and the second half of what he said was obviously his own thinking.
At this time, I don't know why, but I raised my head as if reflexively, and took another look at the carved white face on the mountain.
Suddenly, an inexplicable feeling of familiarity emerged from my heart.
Why does this face look so familiar? I must have seen it somewhere, but right now I don't have the slightest impression of it.
I stared blankly at the white face on the mountain and looked at it seriously. It was like a typhoon blowing in my head, and I turned over all the memories to check.
However, after thinking about it for a long time, nothing came to mind.
However, during this process, I seemed to see the corners of the mouth of the white woman's face slowly rising.
Her original expression was solemn, close and cold.
However, at this moment, there was already a hint of naughtiness in his indifference.
My goosebumps suddenly broke out.
"Dad, look, is that woman smiling?" I turned around and wanted to ask my father to prove whether this was my hallucination or whether it really happened.
However, when I look back, my father's figure is nowhere to be seen.
What's even more desperate is that in his father's place is a giant in red.
Moreover, the face of this giant in red was facing downwards, and its two round eyes were looking down at me.
"Ahhhhh," I screamed uncontrollably. I don't know if my legs were numb from squatting for a long time or because I was frightened. Anyway, I tried several times, but I couldn't stand up.
My scream attracted the attention of all the red-clothed giants who were going to pay homage to the white-faced woman.
All of them turned to look at me.
Immediately afterwards, the faces of all the giants in red that were originally hidden in the mist gradually appeared clearly in front of me.
That is the most terrifying face I have ever seen so far.
There are no facial features on the faces of the giants in red, but you can see their emotions.
For example, the face that is looking down at me is curious, with a bit of caution mixed in with it.
However, the other giants in red had angry faces at this moment.
It's just that the degree of anger is different.
I never thought that a blank face with no facial features could have so many expressions.
At this moment, I suddenly remembered who the familiar white face carved on the mountain was.
She is the image of Houtu Empress that I saw in the murals in the ghost town.
However, in the mural, the dress of Houtu Empress is very different from the white-faced woman in this mural.
At this time, I thought about the nine-headed Rakshasa masks I saw in the ghost town. Could it be that they belonged to these giants in red clothes?
Judging from their figures, they also match those nine-headed Rakshasa masks.
Guyu once said that those masks belong to gods.
The gaps in the mountain are also the paths that God walks.
Could it be that the gods she spoke of were these red giants?
However, I no longer have time to think too much at this moment, because the giant in red who was just looking down at me suddenly bent down as if he had received a life command, as if he wanted to catch me.
My legs have long been weak from fear.
However, my survival instinct still kept me crawling on the ground.
The giant in red has completely bitten down.
His empty face was so close to mine.
At this time, I suddenly discovered that the giant in red seemed to have no hands.
