Xia Haoran randomly selected a depression as their temporary campsite.
There is nothing novel about this place. If we must find a unique place, it would be that there is relatively little vegetation near this depression, making it less likely to cause fires.
Xia Haoran took out some snacks and drinks from the storage ring, and the two of them took a leisurely nap.
"Remember, in the forest, especially the primitive forest where spiritual beasts exist, you must be cautious and cautious."
Xia Haoran took a big sip from the mineral water bottle, couldn't help but cough a few times, and then said: "Animals are naturally extremely sensitive to smells, let alone spiritual beasts. So, once you enter the small world, this
You should pay special attention to this point.”
"For example, let's make a fire. Although most wild beasts and spiritual beasts are afraid of fire, there are some particularly powerful spiritual beasts that prefer fire. Once you encounter them, unless you are strong enough, you will definitely die.
.”
"So, when you find that something cannot be done, don't hesitate and run away. You have to remember that preserving life is the most important thing, and face is never as important as life."
Next, Xia Haoran took Li Mengyao to wander around the virgin forest for two days, and almost all the basic common sense and instructions were explained.
it's time.
Xia Haoran found Xiaobai who was playing and headed towards the entrance of the small world together.
This was an inconspicuous small valley with a steep cliff deep in the valley. Xia Haoran stopped directly in front of this cliff.
"Haoran, why did you lead the way to a dead end? There is no way forward from here."
Li Mengyao saw Xia Haoran stop, so she carefully looked at the steep cliff in front of her, then looked around, and asked with confusion.
"We're here." Xia Haoran smiled slightly, pointed at the steep cliff in front of him, and said, "We don't have to go any further, the entrance is right here."
"here?"
Li Mengyao stared at the steep cliff in front of her, looking very surprised and surprised.
"Chirp..."
The little thing squatting on Xia Haoran's shoulder was obviously stunned after hearing that this was the entrance, and looked at Xia Haoran with confusion.
"Yes." Xia Haoran nodded and said: "This is indeed the entrance to the small world. However, what we see in front of us is just blocked and covered up by a clever formation. After some rest and preparation, we will
We have descended into a strange and bizarre world."
Li Mengyao naturally had no doubts about Xia Haoran's words. However, when she saw the straight and steep cliff in front of her, she hesitated a little, so she couldn't help but ask: "Haoran, but...but here is
It’s such a straight and steep cliff, where can we enter the small world?”
Xia Haoran laughed and said: "Since you are so impatient, let's go in now. You stop at the side first. Xiaobai, go to your sister Yaoyao."
Immediately, Xia Haoran waved his hands in front of the cliff and began to quickly pinch the magic formulas one after another. Unsurprisingly, all these magic formula handprints fell on the cliff in front of him.
After a while.
Xia Haoran put his hands away and stood, looking at everything with a smile.
Suddenly, Li Mengyao rubbed her eyes fiercely and screamed loudly: "Ah... Haoran, why do I see the mountain in front of me showing ripples like ripples..."
"Not bad!" Xia Haoran turned around and gave Li Mengyao a thumbs up, praising: "You have good eyesight! If you can spot the ripples, that's right. It means that the formation has been opened by me and the entrance has appeared."
"Oh, so that's it. But," Li Mengyao pointed to the cliff in front of her and said with some hesitation: "But there is still a steep cliff here. How do we enter?"
"Let's go, grab my hand and follow me. Xiaobai, come on my shoulder." Xia Haoran said lightly.
Hearing this, Li Mengyao quickly ran a few steps and hugged Xia Haoran's arm tightly. And our classmate Xiaobai seemed to know that the next moment was about to witness a miracle, so he jumped to Xia Haoran with a 'swish'
On Haoran's shoulders, the small paws tightly grasped Xia Haoran's skirt, while staring at his small black pearl-like eyes, looking around curiously.
"Don't worry, it's very safe." Xia Haoran turned around and explained gently to Li Mengyao, and then walked straight towards the cliff in front of him...
"ah……"
A terrifying scream echoed over the entire valley.
If any outsider passes by here, he will definitely be surprised! Because the valley is already quiet at this moment, there is no human figure at all, only the echo of the female voice has not dispersed for a long time.
The scream was made by Li Mengyao. Because she was holding Xia Haoran's arm, but she watched helplessly as the other person crashed into the smooth and straight cliff. This situation and this posture were as terrifying as they could be.
However, before she had any reaction, following Xia Haoran's lead and inertia, she followed Xia Haoran and crashed into the cliff.
"Chirp..."
Speaking of which, Xiaobai's performance was the calmest during the whole process. He just stared at his little eyes and watched the entire process without blinking. Only after entering the passage inside did he speak out curiously.
shouted.
"What's wrong? I see you are surprised. You must have been frightened just now." Xia Haoran paused slightly, turned around and said to Li Mengyao beside him with a smile.
Li Mengyao took a long breath, feeling Xia Haoran's presence and tenderness next to her, and then recovered from the shock.
"You really scared me to death just now!" Li Mengyao took out a hand and gently patted the towering chest. She was still a little scared and said: "I watched you crash into the cliff, and then...
"
"Then you were frightened out of your wits?" Xia Haoran joked slightly.
"Hate!"
Li Mengyao stretched out her hand and pinched Xia Haoran's waist, and then stopped.
"By the way, is this inside the mountain? It's so beautiful!"
When she saw clearly the long passage in front of her that had a different kind of cave and was covered with a layer of dreamy color, Li Mengyao couldn't help but have a look of surprise in her eyes, and sighed with great curiosity.
"Here, you can think of it as being in the mountain just now, but of course it's not exactly in that mountain."
Xia Haoran touched his nose, pondered for a moment, and continued: "The cliff we came in is just an entrance, and the passage we are in now is the connecting barrier between two different spaces.
"
"So that's it." Li Mengyao shook her little head in confusion, but then she said in surprise: "Hey! Haoran, look! That bead is so beautiful, and it can also shine."
"This is the Night Pearl." Xia Haoran smiled slightly and said: "There are about a dozen in the entire passage, all used for lighting. When we return, I will take out a few for you to take back and play with. However, you must be careful with this thing.
Keep it secret and don’t let outsiders know.”
"Uh-huh!"
At the end of the passage, Xia Haoran turned to Li Mengyao and Xiaobai on his shoulder and said: "After crossing this door, we will descend into a strange world. Are you ready?"
"alright!"
Li Mengyao said excitedly.
"Chirp..."
Not to be outdone, classmate Xiaobai waved her little paws.
After receiving the affirmation of one person and one fox, Xia Haoran nodded, and with a thought, a short sword instantly appeared in his hand.
Green frost!
When Xia Haoran carefully put it into the slot on the "door" in front of him, the sealed door composed of formation talismans finally slowly opened...
"Close your eyes and hold me tight!"
Xia Haoran hugged Xiaobai tightly with one hand and Li Mengyao with the other, and quickly disappeared into the dark passage behind the door.
…
"Okay, you can open your eyes now."
A few seconds later, Xia Haoran's voice sounded in the ears of Li Mengyao and Xiaobai.
At this moment, they were standing on the top of a mountain peak.
"Oh my God! It's so beautiful!"
When Li Mengyao saw the scene inside for the first time, she was still attracted by the beauty. This space was like a fairyland, with the blue sky, the beauty of the flowers, the vitality of the trees, and the huge strange beasts...
Li Mengyao's reaction at this moment was no different from the first time Xia Haoran visited this place. Because the scene in front of her really shocked her deeply again.
Although she had heard Xia Haoran's description beforehand, her true feelings after seeing all this with her own eyes were naturally very different.
"Chirp..."
Xiao Bai also looked around stupidly, but when he saw the size of the birds and animals wherever he looked, he turned back to look at his own small body, and immediately withered.
Ants as big as fists, rabbits as big as calves, giant wolves as big as hills... When they noticed the strange smell, many animals rushed towards the top of the mountain where Xia Haoran and the others were standing.
It’s true that the ignorant are fearless!
"snort!"
Xia Haoran's eyes widened and he snorted softly. As the huge aura in his body disappeared in a flash, the surrounding animals fled in all directions.
"The peripheral spirit beasts are low in strength, which means they have the lowest intelligence." Xia Haoran said: "However, even a beast is naturally alert to unknown dangers, let alone a group of spirit beasts.
.”
At this moment, Li Mengyao was almost in a mess. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, grabbed Xia Haoran's arm tightly, and said with some disbelief: "Haoran, have we become tiny versions of life, or have the creatures here been too big?"
Big? Aren’t these...those animals too big?"
Xia Haoran gently patted Li Mengyao's vest and said softly: "Our individuals have not become smaller, and at the same time, everything you see at the moment is real. This is not the earth, so don't look at it from the perspective of earthlings.
Look at anything.”
After a slight pause, Xia Haoran continued: "Think about it, this space has been isolated from the world for countless years. It has never been involved by humans, nor has it suffered any damage or pollution. Everything here follows the principle of 'survival of the fittest'.
The law of jungle evolution. Therefore, the environment, vegetation, life, etc. here are still in their most primitive state. Therefore, after countless years of development and precipitation, it is not surprising that we can see the scene before us."
