After we came down, the little clerk asked me: "Didn't you say that you knew where this place was in your subconscious mind? Blood Maple Forest, in the Sun Realm. How do you think we should go now?"
When I was the first to come down, I had already taken a good look at the terrain and direction, so I smiled at him, then pointed to a small stream in front of the small slope and said, "Have you seen that stream? It flows from west to east. Let's
First arrive at the creek, and then go up along the terrain, that is, go west."
"Why?" the little clerk asked, and then continued: "Why should we go west instead of other directions?"
I shrugged and said with a smile: "Intuition. Moreover, we are now hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters underground. Although we can see the sun now, it does not mean that we have returned to the human world. So, I think
If we want to get out, we should go up. Looking at the terrain here, the only way up is to the west."
The little clerk looked at me suspiciously, then sighed and said, "I can only listen to you for the time being."
I turned to Zhang Li and asked: "Zhang Li, what do you think? We can discuss what you have in mind."
Zhang Li smiled and said to me gently: "I have no idea, I will listen to you."
I smiled back at her, and then said: "Okay, let's just follow my intuition for now. But, to be honest, this place is very weird, and the three of us must stay vigilant in time."
Zhang Li and Xiaowen nodded. Then the three of us slowly walked down the slope.
Along the way, to be honest, the wind was sunny and the air was fresh, and Zhang Li was walking beside me. I thought to myself: If we were on the ground, without any tasks and dangers, we would be walking in the suburbs, just like going out.
How wonderful it would be to go on an outing.
Just as he was thinking about it, the little clerk suddenly shouted: "Look, what is that?"
I was shocked. Could it be that we were going to encounter another danger? I quickly opened my eyes and followed the fingers of the little clerk.
Just by the stream about forty or fifty meters away from us, I saw two little red-furred beasts squatting by the stream drinking water.
The little clerk's shout was not very loud, but it probably alerted the two little beasts. They suddenly raised their long ears, tilted their heads to listen, and then suddenly ran westward along the stream.
I looked in the direction in which they were running. The two little beasts were about the size of wild cats. They ran very lightly, like two balls of red flames.
The specific image of the little beast is not clear, but it roughly looks like two hares. It has long ears and a short mouth. When it runs, its two hind paws kick very powerfully.
But to be honest, I have never seen a red hare. Besides, this place is so strange. We saw big red birds, big purple flowers, and big trees with car-like crowns. What strange animals can we see now?
I really can't feel anything particularly surprising.
The three of us watched the two little beasts gradually go away, and in the end only two little red dots were left. The little clerk shook his head and said: "It feels like I have entered the ancient times. They are all strange animals and plants, weird and weird."
"
My heart suddenly moved, and I said to the little clerk: "What did you just say? Ancient times?"
The little clerk looked at me in astonishment and said, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
I seemed to have some clue in my mind, but I couldn't figure it out. I shook my head and said, "I think it's a little strange. You mentioned ancient times, and I think this place is really similar."
The little clerk looked at me strangely, as if he were looking at an alien. He muttered, "Do you think we took a time machine and suddenly arrived in ancient times?"
I smiled faintly, and then said: "Perhaps, Corpse Wolf did touch some agency information before we entered the apse, so we came out of this passage, and this passage we walked through may be the time passage."
The little clerk looked at me with his mouth wide open, unable to say a word, while Zhang Li looked blankly at the stream in front of us, her expression seemed confused. I smiled bitterly and whispered: "Let's keep walking."
After the three of us walked in silence for a few minutes, we arrived at the stream in front of us.
The flow of this stream is very gentle, and the water quality is also very clean. You can clearly see the colorful pebbles on the bottom of the stream and various small fish swimming in the water. Of course, many of the small fish swimming in the water have never been seen before, but
Nowadays, we are used to seeing strange things.
At this time, I said to Zhang Li and Xiaowen: "Let's replenish the water in the kettle. The two little beasts have drank this water, so there should be no danger."
The two of them nodded, and then we took out the water bottles and filled them full with water. Then we drank happily.
I knelt down and poured a handful of stream water onto my face. The cool stream water lifted my spirits. I felt so comfortable that I really wanted to jump into the stream and relax.
But when I think of my current situation, I can't help but feel sad and inexplicably flustered. Who knows where we are now? Can we still get out of this place and return to the familiar sea of people?
I stood up, wiped my face with my hands, and then said to Zhang Li and Xiaowen: "Let's continue on the road."
Xiaowen and Zhang Li nodded. Xiaowen raised his face and said to me: "Yunlong, I just remembered something. When we walked down the cliff, who did you think left those footprints we saw?"
Those who came down? Do you think it might be Instructor Shui and the others?"
I was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I don't know, maybe it is possible. The only people who entered this seventh-level earth dragon cave are us and the Corpse Wolf. He is the only one left on the Corpse Wolf side now. Those footprints show that there is more than one person."
, maybe it really is Instructor Shui and the others. But they are obviously behind us, how could they reach the cliff before us? I can't figure this out."
The little clerk said helplessly: "Maybe we people really entered the time tunnel. They may have encountered the opening of the tunnel before we were behind them, so they came in first."
I smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe, let's forget about this for now. If they are here, we might meet them. Let's go up the stream."
The three of us packed up our backpacks and walked up the stream.
After walking for a few miles, another slope appeared in front of us. It looked much larger than the one we just came down from the tree. It was covered with a lush green jungle.
I kept mobilizing my memory along the way, trying to remember what I had just seen when I entered the unconscious state, but when I thought about my headache, I didn't think much of it.
It feels like those memories belong to me, but they also seem to belong to someone else. They are far away, strange, and yet somewhat familiar.
The stream flows out from the woods on the slope in front of us, gurgling and very clear.
Suddenly, Zhang Li said: "There is something in the stream!" As she spoke, she opened her eyes and pointed at the thing floating down the stream.
The little clerk and I hurried along to take a look. The thing was slowly floating in the stream. I shouted: "Go and have a look!"
When we walked to the edge of the stream, that thing floated right in front of us. Oh my God! It was a towel that we modern people use, with blue and white stripes on it.
Zhang Li pointed at the towel in surprise and shouted: "Yunlong, this...is Sister Shui's towel!"
Xiao Wenwen and I looked at Zhang Li in disbelief. Xiao Wenwen's face twitched and asked Zhang Li: "You...did you read that correctly? Are you telling the truth?"
Zhang Li's shoulders were shaking with excitement. She didn't speak, but nodded heavily.
I exhaled suddenly and said loudly: "Let's keep going up. If Instructor Shui and the others are here, we will definitely be able to find them. By then, all the questions will be clear."
At this time, Zhang Li shouted again, pointed at the stream and said with a horrified expression: "Blood, blood..."
I hurriedly looked into the stream, and sure enough, a reddish trail of blood was meandering upstream. I hurriedly shouted: "Let's go! Let's go up quickly. Maybe they are in danger!"
With that said, I took long strides and ran towards the hillside. Xiaowen Wen and Zhang Li quickly followed me.
