Yu Xiaolong opened his eyes, only to find that the front was blurry and his head was a little dizzy.
He shook his head, and then he gradually woke up, and the scene in front of him became clear as usual.
At the same time, the friends also returned to normal one after another and looked around.
What suddenly appeared in front of us was a huge space, which seemed to be a cave, but it was a little different.
There are many stalactites formed over millions of years on the cave walls, and some minerals emit a faint sparkle from time to time. It is very refreshing here, and even feels a little cool.
"This looks... like the cave Meng Xiao mentioned?" Zhang Xiaosheng said to himself.
"It looks very similar." Yu Xiaolong nodded.
"Everyone, be careful and shield your breath." Sun Renyi said seriously.
The friends walked carefully inside, constantly observing from front to back, left, right, and up and down, maintaining a high degree of vigilance.
After walking for a long time, I found nothing strange on the road and no trace of anyone.
After turning a corner, eight dark holes appeared in front of everyone.
"Ah? Aren't those the eight caves that Meng Xiao mentioned?" Zhao Dayu had sharp eyes and saw them from a distance.
"Sure enough, this is indeed the place he said." Sun Renyi nodded.
"Meng Xiao said that these eight cave entrances are ordinary passages, all leading to the space inside. Then... what is the meaning of this existence?" Wan Yanfeng asked doubtfully.
"Since it exists, it must be useful. But let's see, let's not worry about that, just go in." Wang Tianxiang said.
"Is there really no problem?" Yu Xiaolong muttered to himself.
"How about... let's go in one person at a time. If something goes wrong, the team won't be wiped out." Zhang Xiaosheng thought.
"No, that's a taboo! In a strange place, you are most afraid of the team being separated." Sun Renyi shook his head.
"Six people...divided into three groups, there will be someone to take care of them if necessary," Yu Xiaolong said.
"But..." Sun Renyi frowned.
"It's okay, just leave." Yu Xiaolong waved his hand.
In this way, the friends entered the unknown cave in pairs.
Although the view outside was good, the cave was completely dark and pitch black. Yu Xiaolong walked forward cautiously, holding the long sword tightly in his hand.
Just as Meng Xiao said, the cave is relatively narrow, but very long and winding like a snake.
"Little brother, what do you think these eight channels represent?" Zhao Dayu asked softly from behind.
"This...I really can't say. Just like what Tianxiang said just now, it makes sense if it exists, but I don't know yet. However, I hope it is just an ordinary cave like Meng Xiao said." Yu Xiaolong was worried.
said.
"Actually... I vaguely remember seeing something similar somewhere. I read it in a book. I really can't remember what it was specifically. It's been too long." Zhao Dayu murmured.
"Oh? Brother Zhao, think about it quickly. If you know your enemy and know yourself, you can fight a hundred battles. If something goes wrong, there is still a countermeasure." Yu Xiaolong's eyes lit up.
"I'll try my best...try my best," Zhao Dayu said depressedly.
Yu Xiaolong carefully explored the path in front, while Zhao Dayu watched vigilantly from behind, fearing that something might come out.
"Brother Zhao, why am I looking at you...a little scared?" Yu Xiaolong saw something was wrong with him.
"Uh...well...actually...I have a bit of mysophobia...I feel a little uncomfortable in small, dark places." Zhao Dayu explained awkwardly.
"Ah, that's it, I really didn't notice it." Yu Xiaolong said with a smile.
"Hey... I've been like this since I was a child. Although it's not very serious, it's... more or less." Zhao Dayu scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.
"It's normal. Anyone who is in a dark and small place will feel uneasy." Yu Xiaolong comforted.
"Hmm...why is it so long and it's not over yet?" Zhao Dayu was unhappy.
"We're here, there seems to be some light ahead, hush." Yu Xiaolong's eyes lit up.
The two people quietly approached the exit and stuck their heads out to observe secretly. But there was a curve ahead, and only the cave wall could be seen from here.
"Little brother, what should we do?" Zhao Dayu asked softly.
"They may not have come out yet, wait and see." Yu Xiaolong said.
Soon, the other four friends walked out of the nearby cave, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's really what Meng Xiao said, it's just an ordinary cave." Wan Yanfeng stroked her chest.
"Don't take it lightly." Sun Renyi looked at several people.
After walking around the corner, a huge space appears in front of you.
This place is also a cave like the previous one, but the surrounding minerals are densely covered in sparkling light, illuminating the entire space relatively brightly, as if many lights have been turned on.
"According to Meng Xiao, if you walk a little further forward, you will turn a corner and you will see a huge water surface, and a terrifying shadow will emerge from it." Zhang Xiaosheng frowned and said.
"They can't get out of the water. There seems to be a barrier." Wang Tianxiang said.
"Don't rely solely on his words. Over the past thirty years, everything may have changed. Everything must be based on reality, and seeing is believing." Sun Renyi reminded.
"You guys stay here first, I'll go take a look myself." Yu Xiaolong said.
"no!"
The friends refused in unison with a very firm attitude.
"You guys...have nothing to do, I'll just go take a look and come back." Yu Xiaolong smiled bitterly.
"Brother Yu, you're not allowed to go by yourself. It's always like this. What if there's danger? The leader's orders don't work right now." Wan Yanfeng looked at him sideways.
"That's right, Xiaolong, don't do it alone, you will do all the good things." Wang Tianxiang waved his hand.
"Xiao Long, let's go together. If you have any questions, you can be taken care of." Sun Renyi shook his head and said.
"Okay, let's go then." Yu Xiaolong was helpless.
The six people walked forward cautiously, with Yu Xiaolong walking at the front and slowly approaching the bend.
He quietly stuck his head out and looked over there. A surface of water as smooth as a mirror lay there quietly, occupying most of the space. There was silence and nothing unusual around him.
Yu Xiaolong walked out slowly, and his friends followed closely behind him, approaching that way.
We walked all the way to the edge of the water, and then we had a closer look.
This area seems to be a huge pond, the water surface is really as flat and smooth as a mirror, without a trace of ripples.
"Damn it, this place... looks a bit romantic." Zhao Dayu lamented.
"Brother Zhao, don't mention it, it's really a bit romantic." Wan Yanfeng looked at him with a smile.
"Next to the bright and beautiful roses, there are usually prickly thorns." Zhang Xiaosheng said with a smile.
"Hey, brother Xiaosheng is still a cultural person." Zhao Dayu laughed.
"I didn't see it, what did Xiaosheng go through?" Wang Tianxiang couldn't help laughing.
"Hey, pay attention to the occasion, now is not the time to joke." Sun Renyi shook his head and sighed.
Yu Xiaolong walked slowly around the water, thinking and observing, but he couldn't see anything after walking around for a whole circle.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and he leaned down and blew into the water.
There were no ripples on the water surface as there should be!
He looked at his friends, gritted his teeth and stepped on them.
The surface looks the same as water, but it is very solid, as if you are stepping on ice.
When the friends saw him like this, they couldn't help but stand on it. Zhao Dayu even stomped his feet hard a few times, but there was no reaction at all.
"Is this the water surface?" Zhang Xiaosheng refreshed his knowledge and didn't understand what was going on.
