"Oh my god! I thought I was going to choke to death..." Gu Wenyu patted her chest, looking like she was surviving a disaster. She took a look at her surroundings.
The two of them were inside a small cave. It was much smaller than the cave occupied by the undead monster. It was only ten square meters in size at most. The entrance to the cave was blocked by thick green plants.
The height inside the cave is only over two meters, which is a little shorter than a normal house. If Huo Huo showed up here, he wouldn't be able to stand up straight.
There are sixteen real luminous pearls inlaid on the cave wall. The luminous pearls form a circle on the top of the cave, so the cave is very bright.
The luminous pearls were crystal clear and emitted a soft light. Gu Wenyu looked at the luminous pearls on the roof of the cave and wondered if he could pick out two and give them to Huo Huo.
He Xi looked at Gu Wenyu with some humor and said softly: "It's only a few seconds, he won't die." As he spoke, he sat down holding on to the cave wall.
There happened to be a large flat stone where he sat, which looked like a big natural bed.
"Next time something like this happens, please tell me in advance. I'm a very coward, I can't help but be scared." Gu Wenyu then looked at He Xi, and this look was shocking. He Xi's face had almost no color at all.
His lips were also pale, as if he was suffering from severe anemia.
"What's your situation?" Gu Wenyu didn't care, he first applied a strengthening force to him, and then asked with concern: "Do you feel better?"
He Xi didn't care, "It's okay, just consume it normally, just take it for two days."
Gu Wenyu remembered that He Xi had opened the Mountain and River Map several times before. He seemed to be like this every time. Whenever he opened the Mountain and River Map, he needed to rest for a few days to recover.
Not to mention that this time he was taking Gu Wenyu into the inner world of the Mountain and River Map, so the consumption would only be even greater.
In addition, he had been running around and busy before entering the Mountain and River Map, so there was no time to restore his soul and mental power.
"Then you have a good rest, I will help you guard it." Gu Wenyu's tone was full of worry, and she took the initiative to take on the role of guard.
Seeing Gu Wenyu's nervous look, He Xi explained: "It's okay, this cave is quite safe. It's the place where my dad lived before entering the Mountain and River Map. It's protected by a barrier and is not easy to be discovered."
"Oh~ No wonder there are so many luminous pearls here, they all belong to your family." Gu Wenyu suddenly realized, and then smiled sheepishly: "I was just planning to pick out two and give them to Huohuo, you should have said yes earlier.
If it’s yours, I won’t have this idea anymore.”
He Xi: "..." She just stared at the ceiling of the cave, thinking about this.
"You can give him two as a gift when you go back. Don't touch the luminous pearls here. It will damage the formation's eyes." He Xi said helplessly.
"No, no, just go back and buy a few more flashlights." Gu Wenyu waved his hands repeatedly. Children like Huohuo like flashlights.
He Xi smiled and did not continue the topic. Instead, he told Gu Wenyu to wait until he recovered before going out together, and never leave the cave too far alone.
The flow of time in the Mountains and Rivers Diagram is different from that in the outside world. Gu Wenyu is naturally not in a hurry to go out. There is sufficient force here, and even if he is just sitting and practicing, it is faster than outside.
There was also a relatively smooth large stone in the cave, so Gu Wenyu simply sat on another large stone to practice.
Huo Huo couldn't sit still, so Gu Wenyu asked him to wander around the cave without letting him go far.
Sitting like this for many days...
The world of Mountain and River Pictures also has sunrises and sunsets, the sky is full of stars at night, and the moon waxes and wanes.
Gu Wenyu opens the Strange Book of Fate every day. What makes her happy is that the time in the Mountain and River Picture is consistent with the Strange Book of Fate. As the sun goes down and the moon rises every day, the countdown to the opening of the Strange Book of Fate begins.
It will be one less day.
In this way, Gu Wenyu can hide in the Mountains and Rivers Picture and grow up obscenely. Maybe by the time she leaves the Mountains and Rivers Picture, she will no longer be afraid of the killers from the Palace of Hell.
This was the day when the strange book of fate was opened. Gu Wenyu sat alone at the entrance of the cave, looking at the stars through the gaps in the towering trees. There seemed to be fireflies dancing in the forest, like elves in the mountains.
A ferocious beast roared in the distance, as if to express its unwillingness.
I have to say that although the world of Mountains and Rivers is filled with all kinds of ferocious beasts and monsters, it is very clean. The world created by the He family is beautifully constructed, with fresh air, gurgling streams, and lush vegetation.
In addition to the demons suppressed here, there are also flowers, birds, fish and insects that belong to this world. The sun, moon and stars are moving in a regular manner. Ignore the screams of ferocious beasts in your ears. This place can definitely be called a paradise.
Gu Wenyu saw that the time was almost up. She recalled Huo Huo and took him back to the spiritual world, then turned around and returned to the cave.
Although it was illuminated by night pearls, Huo Huo still picked up a pile of dry firewood and started a fire.
He Xi still sat on the stone bed and practiced, just like an old monk entering meditation.
Gu Wenyu said softly to He Xi: "I want to leave for a while."
He Xi opened his eyes and asked: "The strange book of fate is about to be opened?"
Gu Wenyu nodded: "Well, if it's quick, I'll be back in three to five minutes. If it's slow, it will only take two or three hours at most."
He Xi nodded solemnly: "Okay, be careful, I'll wait for you to come back."
"Pfft~" Gu Wenyu couldn't stand such an atmosphere, so he burst into laughter, "Don't be so serious, make it seem like I'm gone and never come back."
"...Don't talk nonsense." He Xi frowned, he was a little sensitive to the words "never reply".
"Okay, let's not say anything. See you later." Gu Wenyu waved goodbye pretending to be relaxed, then took a deep breath and opened the book of fate.
Despite Gu Wenyu's relaxed appearance, she was actually very nervous every time she opened her destiny book. After all, no one knew where she would appear this time and whether she would come back alive...
The world was spinning again, and Gu Wenyu felt severe pain all over his body.
Just as she was about to raise her hand, she felt a heartbreaking pain in her arm, which seemed like a serious laceration. She couldn't help but frown, and at the same time, she mobilized her soul power and began to strengthen herself.
As the soul power traveled throughout his body, Gu Wenyu found that his whole body seemed to be injured, with burning pain all over his body.
"Hiss~" A hoarse and unpleasant voice sounded from Gu Wenyu's mouth.
Immediately afterwards, two women's frightened voices came from beside them: "Ah! She, she seems to be moving."
"Impossible, she, isn't she dead?"
Then there was a girl's soft and anxious voice: "Xiaorou? Xiaorou, are you awake? How are you?"
"Well..." Gu Wenyu wanted to speak, but his throat was dry and sore, and he could only utter a painful syllable.
"Xiaorou!" The soft voice sounded again, this time, there was a hint of joy in her voice.
