Chapter 5 Ancient City, Ancherus 1
The Ancherson Road described in the empty mouth is this geologically complex cave road. The two of them move forward carefully one after the other and go deeper and deeper.
The air is gradually turbid, and Yuchen has to carry a small bit of evil spirit to disperse the turbid air. His eyes seem to have no effect at all, which makes Yuchen surprised.
"Don't be afraid, keep your heart, and you are about to enter the torture path of Ancherson Road. The road is still long." He said indifferently.
"Torture path?" Yuchen chewed the name and followed Xu's footsteps. Suddenly, he only felt that his foot was empty and his whole body fell down uncontrollably.
The strong and abnormal rope prepared in advance played a key role. It instantly tenses and hangs Yuchen's body. Yuchen looked around and was dark. The torch in his hand had already fallen and extinguished. The harsh sound of the undercurrent rolling on the rock was heard in his ears, and there was a cold sweat on his back.
"Pay attention to your feet." A virtual voice came from above. Yuchen settled down, took out his breath of death, inserted into the darkness, and successfully sank into the rock. He finally found a fulcrum. Yuchen was able to use this as a springboard, turned over and returned to the top.
"It's really scary." Yuchen looked at the wide cave on the ground. He vowed that he had never seen the cave before, but somehow fell into it.
Isa problem with the ground structure? Yuchen thought a little and came up with the answer. This should be a special situation caused by the geological action of sedimentary rock. The negative pressure between underground rivers and caves played a key role. After the aftertaste of the touch he stepped on, Yuchen also confirmed that it was just a thin layer of rock, which would be crushed with a little weight. , suck people into the hole.
This is a very dangerous situation, because since there is a first place, there will be a second place and a third place. From now on, we must carefully explore and move forward. We must consider the wear of the ropes and the geological situation of the cave. Yuchen believes that if we break through too many such geological traps, I'm afraid the whole tunnel will be due to pressure. And it is in danger of collapse.
"Don't break too many Ancherson traps, or we will easily get stuck here." Falsely warned Yu Chen.
Yuchen nodded to show his understanding, and followed the journey again. This time, he was in good spirits and had a good effect. Along the way, he also avoided a lot of rocks that seemed to break at a touch. However, for a long time, the highly tense spirit made him feel a little tired.
"The torture path is really like its name, and I don't know how long this suffering will last." Thinking about it, Yuchen said to the virtual in front of him, "Is there no other way?" Or the way to avoid these traps, I think that since there is no collapse here, it also means that everyone who passes through here can pass through safely. There must be some way, right?
"You think it's too easy, Yuchen. Don't be distracted." He didn't look back and dodged to avoid a trap again. Obviously, his spirit was also highly tense.
"For a long time, there have been no more than two people in my memory through the people here. One is me, and the other is the demon who occupied your body at the beginning. Do you think anyone can enter here? It was also by chance that after being involved in the underground river, I found this place. The ancient magic array that introduced you here just now was also after the destination was recognized, and the synchronous imprint was engraved in the spirit to start.
"In addition, the groundwater network is extremely complex, and it is impossible to take risks from the dark river again. Now, it is the only and safe way to pass through here. Don't complain and keep up with me. We still have a long way to go, and words will only waste energy."
So they stopped talking. The two walked forward step by step, either avoiding, or jumping directly along the way. Both of them were the strongest in ten thousand. At this time, their spirits were tense, and their control with their bodies reached a state of freedom.
one hour, two hours.
Yuchen even forgot the time. For the first time, when he did not conduct personality simulation, he touched the barrier and stopped the water. Last time, he was a coincidence to reach the situation of stopping the water, but after all, he was not his own. He became another guide for nothing.
Until this torture trail, he entered a state of selflessness. Later, avoidance had become instinct and his breathing gradually stabilized.
Feeling the change of Yuchen behind him, he nodded involuntarily and smiled with satisfaction.
A day later...
The two finally walked out of the torture path.
Yuchen escaped from the water, and then breathed a sigh of relief. He gently removed the deer's leg behind him, pulled out his death breath and began to decompose.
I don't know where to take out the firewood and give birth to it on the spot. After the path, the terrain is empty and the dark can't see the head. In this empty space, the two are like a lonely boat in the sea.
Removing the spoiled meat, he finally peeled off enough dry food for two people. Yuchen casually threw away the shaved bones, and then squatted down and began to barbecue.
He held his knees with empty hands and looked at Yuchen quietly. Later, he directly picked up his cheeks and stared at the face under the firelight with a smile, like a little girl.
A short rest, peaceful, comfortable, relaxing and soothing.
Sitting on the ground and taking a sip of cool water, the effect of the space storage bag is amazing. After a day of bumps, the water inside seems to have just been sweet and has not deteriorated at all.
After a few more minutes of rest, the two set off again.
In this endless darkness, the followers moved forward, and the whole world was terriblely quiet. Only the two people's breath accompanied each other. After walking for several hours faintly, Yuchen saw a door.
The door erected out of thin air is like the ruins after the war, which is dilapidated. With the empty footsteps to the door, Yuchen found a difference.
The door is densely engraved with countless runes that have never been seen. The outline method of this rune is completely different from anything Yuchen has seen. This is a more ancient text. Yuchen feels that he seems to have seen these words somewhere, but he can't say it.
"Follow me through this door, and then, come with me to see the truth." After a few words, he passed through the door and then disappeared.
"It's still the same. It doesn't give me a chance to think about this self-conscious woman at all." He shook his head with a smile, and Yuchen immediately stepped into the door.
In an instant, it seemed to be swallowed up by the whirlpool, mixed with all kinds of negative emotions, and countless voices sounded from the bottom of my heart, almost engulfing Yuchen.
"This is..." Yuchen is bored, dressed in endless darkness and can't see the end. It seems to be sticky mud around, pulling himself, trying to make himself deeper and deeper.
"Yes, the boundary of stopping the water." Yuchen thought for a moment and remembered what he had done before. He no longer hesitated and went straight into the land of stopping the water.
"Only people with pure minds are qualified to pass through the door of truth and reach the other end." For a moment, Yuchen seemed to understand the true intention of this door, just like talking to Gaia, but this time, compared with Gaia's endless greatness, there were more artificial discord.
Finally, Yuchen's feet stepped on the ground, opened his eyes, and his whole body was warm and comfortable. Unlike the endless darkness before, it seemed to have stepped back to the ground. In the sky, he could clearly see the bright galaxy, but what puzzled Yuchen was that the starry sky here seemed to have the same as the starry sky he saw on the continent of Sirto. There are many differences. The two superstars hung in the middle of the sky, and the bright light reflected the ground white. Looking around, he found himself in a piece of reinforced concrete deep in his heart.
"Have you traveled through time again?" An absurd voice sounded in Yuchen's heart, but he quickly saw the virtual sitting on the broken wall on the other side with his back to himself and walked over quickly.
"You finally came here. I thought you had forgotten the wonderful use of stopping the water." He didn't look back, just kept looking ahead. Yuchen walked to Xu's side and followed her eyes to the distance.
What he saw was a huge and wide city, but at this time it had become a ruin. The traces of countless civilizations had been wiped out into old memories. Yuchen felt that his breathing was a little unstable. He had seen this situation, or he had analyzed it... After destroying the world, he had three The prospect of the century-old earth situation is basically the same as the situation seen at this time.
No longer care about it, Yuchen directly fell into the sea of knowledge and shouted the name desperately, trying to find an answer.
As promised, the other one slowly walked to Yuchen. The two looked at each other face to face for a long time, and the other opened his mouth.
"This is not the earth. Don't worry, this is not the world we have destroyed, but what happened in another parallel world."
"But this feeling..."
"It's just the discomfort caused by just wanting to abandon the past. It's not a big deal. This should be a highly developed mechanical civilization. Recently, I have gradually opened up some knowledge to share with you. I believe you have also understood something."
"I know, that's why I remember the scene we predicted at the beginning, but since civilization will be destroyed, what's going on with the civilization I'm in and what's going on with this virtual existence?"
"The reincarnation of civilization is only tens of thousands of years, and the age of this world far exceeds that of the earth." Another said with a smile, "Once a civilization matures, unless it is completely destroyed, then it will be reshaped again, which is enough for ten thousand years."
"I seem to feel much more at ease." Yuchen smiled and said, "It's always so reassuring to talk to you."
"Try not to disturb me too much in the future. By the way, that woman is a very special existence, and I am more interested in her than you."
"I seem to be involved in a third party between you." Yuchen shook his head and said.
............
............
"Yuchen, Yuchen?" A burst of urging to pull Yuchen back to reality. In the virtual view, Yuchen seemed to be shocked by the miracle in front of her, and her short loss of mind was also reasonable. She would never know that Yuchen had already seen too much about such a civilized vein.
"The civilization here is very different from the civilization of our world. To be precise, it is very different from our current civilization. After all, this also belonged to our world." Xu acted as a commentator and began to describe the course of this civilization.
"This is the ancient city, Ancherus, the place where the ancient civilization withered."
