Chapter 455 Dilemma and Lingzhi(1/2)
The rain is still falling and shows no sign of letting up.
Chu Feng was walking alone on the mountain road, taking every step forward with caution. Because he did not bring rain gear, he was already soaked to the skin at this time. Coupled with the slippery mountain road, if he had not been strong, he would not have been able to survive at all.
It is difficult to move even an inch.
I found a protruding rock, stopped for a while, and meditated secretly.
The rain is too heavy. If you continue searching so blindly, you may not be able to gain anything for a while. Instead of doing this, it is better to take the risk of going down the mountain. Everyone's supplies are in the rock cave, and you can accurately obtain food, and even
There are also some urgently needed daily necessities.
However, under the heavy rain, the mountain road has become dangerous now, and I am afraid it will not be so easy to achieve the goal.
"Time is urgent and cannot be wasted here."
Chu Feng only hesitated for a moment and immediately made up his mind. Then he took steps and ran quickly down the mountain.
The night was dark, the rain was pattering, but there was no other sound.
However, at this moment, under the rock, an unknown dark light suddenly lit up, and a hazy figure slowly emerged.
"hehe--"
Looking at the dark mountain road ahead, the figure chuckled and disappeared in the next moment.
…
An hour?
Two hours?
On the mountain road, Chu Feng looked extremely solemn. He didn't know how long he had been traveling, but he never reached the bottom of the mountain.
Everything became a little weird. The mountain road that should have been very familiar suddenly became unfamiliar for some reason. Moreover, it seemed that there was no end, and the end point could not be reached.
Chu Feng stopped. At this time, he had clearly felt that he was afraid of falling into some kind of dilemma.
"What on earth is going on? Ghost hitting the wall?"
Chu Feng thought to himself that if he simply went down the mountain, he would definitely go lower and lower. Not to mention him, even a stranger would not be able to just wander around the mountainside.
Moreover, he was very familiar with Wolong Ridge, but he had never heard of such a strange thing.
The current situation is a bit unpredictable, and it is not advisable to act rashly. Thoughts are rushing in my mind, thinking about how to deal with it.
But at this moment, suddenly, a faint brilliance suddenly appeared in the line of sight. Although the brilliance was weak and flickered, it seemed particularly bright in the pitch-black night.
Chu Feng felt a chill in his heart. He observed carefully and found that the location where the brilliance shone was not far from where he was, only about a hundred meters away. He only hesitated for a moment before making a decision and strode towards the brilliance.
"This is……"
Only a short time passed before Chu Feng came closer. At this time, he had already seen everything clearly. In front of him was a cave on the mountain wall. He didn't know what was inside, but it was emitting strange brilliance all the time.
.
"Relics? Cave?"
Chu Feng thought in his mind, no matter how he looked at it, it was more consistent with this situation.
Speaking of which, when he was a child, he watched martial arts TV series and fantasized more than once that one day he would fall off a cliff like the heroes in them and find peerless magical skills and rare treasures.
Friends of the same age probably have the same thoughts, so they often meet up to play in Wolong Ridge. Unfortunately, fantasies are just fantasies and cannot be realized.
However, the cave in front of us broke all this. Could it be that the childhood dream has come true?
"No matter whether there is danger or not, we must always investigate."
Thinking of this, he stepped into it without any further hesitation.
After passing through a passage more than ten meters long, it suddenly opened up, and a wide cavern with a radius of several hundred meters came into view.
“What a relic!”
Chu Feng looked overjoyed. The place was very empty and there were not many arrangements. However, in the center there was a circular pool about ten meters in diameter. Judging from its appearance, it was obviously made by man.
The water pool was only the next best thing. What surprised him the most was that in the center of the water pool there was a square mudflat about half a foot in size. There was a dark green plant growing on it, with pink branches growing from the top downwards, like
A strange lantern-like fruit.
After careful counting, there were six fruits in total. The light bloomed in the night, illuminating the entire cave extremely brightly.
"Lingzhi?"
Chu Feng was naturally happy, but he couldn't believe that such a thing could be born in an environment with extremely thin spiritual energy like Earth Star?
Although I couldn't recognize the type of spiritual plant at the moment, the appearance in front of me was enough to prove that this thing was definitely not a mortal thing.
A few steps closer to the edge of the pool, Chu Feng knelt down and took a closer look. He saw that the pool was turquoise and bottomless.
He thought for a moment, this was not a good thing. The spiritual plant was growing in the center of the pool. In his current situation, it would be difficult to pick it without any tools.
Subconsciously, I picked up a stone and threw it into the pond. I heard a thud and a tiny splash of water.
"It seems we still need to find a way..."
Thinking of this, he immediately stood up. However, before he could take any action, he suddenly felt that the void in front of him suddenly shook rapidly and disappeared in a flash.
Chu Feng only felt his mind sink, as if he had been attacked by some kind, and his vision became blurred. However, this situation only lasted for a moment, and he recovered quickly.
"What just happened?"
He was puzzled and looked around. The caves, pools, and spiritual plants were all the same as before, without any change. It was as if what happened just now was just an illusion.
"It can't be an illusion."
Chu Feng shook his head slightly, but he couldn't tell what exactly was going on at the moment.
"Chu Feng——"
"Chu Feng——"
At this moment, a familiar shout suddenly came, waking him up instantly. After thinking about it for a moment, it seemed that it was Ai Yu's voice, and it was right outside the cave.
"Why did she come here?"
Chu Feng frowned and immediately walked out of the cave.
really,
When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, he spotted Ai Yu's figure at a glance. Then in the dim light at the entrance of the cave, he could see the miserable appearance of Ai Yu, who was completely soaked by the rain.
"Chu Feng, wuwu..."
Ai Yu also noticed his figure, and without any hesitation, she threw herself into his arms. She seemed a little excited, or maybe she was a little cold because her whole body was soaked. At this time, the other person's body was trembling non-stop, and his mouth was trembling from time to time.
sobbing softly.
Chu Feng raised his hand, intending to push the other person away, but when he saw his miserable appearance as he kept sobbing, he couldn't help but slowly withdraw it. For a while, he couldn't ask any questions.
"Come in first." Finally, he patted the other party's vest and reminded him. The latter nodded obediently and followed him towards the cave. However, his arms held his arms tightly, and he could not hold them for a moment.
Didn't let go.
Inside the cave, Chu Feng was busy and finally lit a fire. Fortunately, there was some dry firewood in the cave and he had a lighter with him, otherwise he would have been blinded.
"Tell me, what happened, and why did you come here?"
Beside the fire, Ai Yu squatted there, holding her arms tightly together, and did not speak for a long time. Hearing Chu Feng's question, he was still like this, and there was a faint hint of fear in his eyes, as if something terrible had happened.
.
Chu Feng's expression turned gloomy. The other party's appearance was indeed a bit unusual. There must have been something unexpected.
"Ai Yu—Ai Yu—"
The other party seemed to hear his voice, and slowly raised his head, looked at Chu Feng beside him, and without explaining, threw himself into the other party's arms again, sobbing.
"..."
Chu Feng was a little helpless. If you have anything to say, what's the point of crying all the time? However, seeing the fear and sadness of the other party, he couldn't forcefully interrupt.
It wasn't until a moment later that the other party finally slowed down and then whispered:
"Yes...I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. It's just..."
"You don't need to apologize. Tell me what happened. Did something happen?" Chu Feng patted the other party's vest and said again,
"Also, can you let go first?"
Both of them were soaked to the skin, and their clothes were uncomfortable clinging to their bodies. Hugging each other was not only awkward, but also uncomfortable.
"Oh" Ai Yu seemed to have just reacted, and then slowly released her arms around the other party's waist, her cheeks turning slightly red.
"Nothing happened. It's just that it was so dark and I couldn't find you, so I felt a little scared."
"I see."
Hearing such an answer, Chu Feng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Nothing happened. What he cared about most was his little sister's safety. As long as she was fine, he had nothing to worry about.
"Now you can tell me, why did a person come here?"
"We have been waiting for you for several hours, but you have not come back. We are really worried. After that, everyone gathered together and asked me to go out and look for you alone." Ai Yu said slowly, and then said,
"It's just that I didn't expect that I suddenly got lost after walking for a while and couldn't find the way back."
