Chapter 402 is a bit magical
This book...
Although the thickness can only be counted as a booklet, let’s call it a book for now.
This book has no title, only a person's name, which is roughly equivalent to when we were children when we wrote our names in textbooks to declare our sovereignty.
Continuing to scroll down, the first thing that comes into view is a strange simple drawing, which looks like some kind of animal, but it does not look like an ordinary lion or tiger.
Below the simple drawing, there is a text: "There is a bird, it looks like a turtle with a white head, three legs, and a human face. Its name is Qu Ru, and its song is its own name."
Li Chengqi looks a bit familiar...
Continue reading "The water flows out of Yan, and flows southward into the sea. There is a tiger dragon in it, and its sound is like a mandarin duck. If you eat it, it will not be swollen, and hemorrhoids can be cured."
It’s not an illusion, the way of describing it is very familiar.
Further down: "There is a beast. It looks like a fox and has nine tails. Its voice is like a baby. It can eat people, and those who eat it are not poisonous."
"..."
"Brother Li, do you understand what it says? Why are they all things you have never heard of?"
This feels like an unfinished and incomplete Book of Mountains and Seas...
What's going on?
Does this world also have the Classic of Mountains and Seas?
“They are all records about monsters and monsters. It’s hard to tell whether they are true or false. Let’s pretend them first and then study them later.”
I wonder what the mentality of the guy who left the letter here is. Is he also a middle-aged boy?
When Yang Yiyi heard what Li Chengqi said, she didn't ask any more questions. She obediently brought the book close to Yugui, and then the book was sucked into the Sumeru Realm.
Regardless of whether this person is a middle schooler or not, this guy is obviously doing something here, and it seems to be quite mysterious. You have to be more careful as you go deeper.
The only noteworthy thing in the stone chamber is this book, and there is no other information available.
Yang Yiyi walked around the stone room and heard Li Chengqi say:
"Please touch the wick of the oil lamp. Is it hot?"
"It's not hot, it's already cold."
"That means the owner of the stone room has been away for a while... You go forward. There is a mechanism on the wall facing you. Search carefully. Yes, it's there. Press it and go back immediately."
Li Chengqi could easily see the mechanism here, but he didn't know what the mechanism was for. Based on the principle of caution, it was better to stay away.
Yang Yiyi pressed down a stone that sank like a button, and then jumped back with a big jump.
Immediately afterwards, the wall made a clicking noise, like stones rubbing against each other, and the wall turned like a revolving door, revealing a hole.
He asked Yang Yiyi to wait there for a few seconds to confirm that there were no other traps, and then let Yang Yiyi get closer.
"There are blood stains on the ground. It seems to be very new."
The blood stain Yang Yiyi mentioned was behind the secret door. It was a large drop of blood stain, mixed with purple-black blood clots that were not completely dried up, as if someone had spit them out.
I don’t know if it was left behind by the owner of the secret room, or if the grandson captured someone.
"Keep moving forward, don't go too fast."
Yang Yiyi turned on the flashlight and continued forward along the passage behind the secret door. This time she walked about forty or fifty meters, which was quite long. Then she saw a faint light not far ahead, like an exit.
But when Yang Yiyi walked over, she discovered that the light did not come from the sun, but from the glowing moss.
A huge underground cavity appeared in front of Yang Yiyi and Li Chengqi. Luminous moss filled every corner. Looking up at the dark cave roof, it looked like a sky full of stars.
In addition to luminous moss, you can also see colorful mushrooms, most of which also glow. Some mushrooms can even grow as tall as a person, like a street lamp.
There are also things that look like ferns, like huge living pillars, supporting the towering roof of the cave. Yang Yiyi softly let out a 'wow' when she saw the scene in front of her. Such a dreamy scene seemed unlikely to be seen in the mortal world.
But Li Chengqi on the other side of the screen frowned slightly.
Isn't this martial arts?
Why is this scene a bit magical...
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Li Chengqi had seen such a dreamy underground scene with Viola when Zola went to find the Ring of Sight. (See Chapters 31~36 for details)
And that time was not as beautiful as this time.
But then again, it's not like someone suddenly threw a big fireball into Yang Yiyi's face. They are in different dimensions of the same world anyway. It's not incomprehensible that there are similarities in the underground scenes.
But beneath this seemingly dreamy picture, there are many murderous intentions hidden.
"Stay away from that red mushroom. The orange light from that thing will temporarily blind you. When you retreat, avoid the fern leaves that are rolled together. If they touch the skin, it will cause unbearable itching."
The scene is certainly dreamy, but most of these mushrooms are poisonous, and many are even similar to traps.
Every time Yang Yiyi advances a little bit, Li Chengqi has to alt highlight and then right-click to open the detailed description and check that there is no problem before letting her move forward.
As a northerner who had only eaten mushrooms and fungus, and at most had heard of famous mushrooms such as bamboo shoots and Hericium, Li Chengqi had never thought that there were so many varieties of mushrooms.
What's even worse is that even if you are so careful, you will inevitably get tricked.
Yang Yiyi walked through the gap between two ferns and was about to move forward when she saw two purple mushrooms about the size of thumbs beside her feet suddenly jumped up and exploded like anti-infantry thunder. The large ball of spore powder instantly enveloped Yang Yiyi.
Pressing the alt key will indeed highlight all interactive items, but Li Chengqi only has one pair of eyes, and when bubble windows are crowded into the screen, some things will inevitably be missed.
However, Li Chengqi also knew that he might not see everything, so he was prepared in advance.
The spore dust with strong paralysis and hallucinogenic effects did not have any effect on Yang Yiyi, and she walked out of the powder the next second.
Because she had a gas mask on her face.
To be more precise, it is a dust mask. It costs 20 to 30 yuan each on the online shopping platform. It also comes with a pair of goggles. You only need to replace different filter boxes to achieve the effect of filtering different toxic substances.
Not to mention 100% filtering, it can also filter 95%. The remaining points are no longer a threat to Yang Yiyi, who has learned the Supreme Intention Vajra Kung Fu and has super high muscle and bone attributes.
The preparation of this thing is also due to practical needs.
Think about it, although in the world of martial arts it is said that one has a big fist, poison is the best choice for a small one. Yang Yiyi may encounter someone who can smoke poisonous cigarettes in the future.
Taking this into consideration, Li Chengqi ordered gas masks in advance.
He wanted to buy that kind of three-proof suit, preferably one that covered the whole body and had its own oxygen bottle, but he couldn't buy it on the online shopping platform, so he had to make do with a gas mask first. Unexpectedly, he would do it here first. Use it.
After passing through the spore cloud, the front is obviously empty, except for large areas of land, there are almost no mushrooms or anything like that. It seemed as if the poisonous mushrooms I just saw were deliberately planted by someone as a trap to prevent others from entering.
If this is the case,... It gave Li Chengqi a strange feeling.
There are no poisonous mushrooms in this clearing, and there is another cave entrance further ahead.
It feels like there is some mechanism here that does not require poisonous mushroom defense.
"Careful, I don't feel right."
As soon as Li Chengqi finished speaking, Yang Yiyi heard two heavy blasts of wind. Just as she was about to raise her head to look, something heavy fell from above and hit the open space not far in front of Yang Yiyi.
In the light of the flashlight, two behemoths, one green and one red, appeared in the field of vision...
