The sea of fire in front of you, to jump or not to jump
"The current situation is," Qin Ci's voice seemed a little hoarse under the high temperature, "the fire can be seen in all directions, and the safe zone that can accommodate us is slowly shrinking."
Zhu Haowen looked around, there was nothing to bring, only the music box seemed to have untapped value: "Let's take this away?"
Qin Ci listened to Zhu Haowen's understatement, but he knew in his heart that it was a decision of life and death.
"Let's go." Qin Ci took the remaining dried shellfish and so on with him, maybe these things could also play a role.
The two men slowly walked towards the end of the cliff, and the heat wave below rose higher and higher, and they stretched out their greedy flames, trying to lick and swallow them.
"Let's open this box first." Zhu Haowen said, because he wasn't sure if he still had the strength and consciousness to open it after jumping off.
With the opening of the box, the whole world made the sound of turbulent waves, and combined with the scene in front of them, it would create a very contradictory illusion, as if the sound of the monstrous waves came from the boundless sea of fire.
Opposite the sea of fire, the figure of the fire monkey is still flashing.
The fire monkey seemed to see the intention of the two, and even opened his arms and jumped into the sea of fire first, as if to set an example for the two.
Zhu Haowen and Qin Ci looked at each other, and both of them knew in their hearts that the reason for making this decision was not because of their trust in Fire Monkey—but because there was really no way out.
Accompanied by the sound of the huge waves, the burning sensation on the skin is like a knife cut, real and cruel.
"ssssssssssssssssss..."
The most terrifying sound in life is probably hearing the sound of your skin being scorched with your own ears.
The most terrifying smell in life is probably the smell of the flesh emitted by one's own body.
Zhu Haowen was in desperate pain, and even thought of several coined words at an inopportune time: pouring fire, putting out the ****, barbecue for self-entertainment...
But soon these unrealistic ideas all disappeared, because people are basically dead.
I don't know how many generations have passed.
Consciousness gradually returned, like an earthworm on the day of the sting, its body recovered from stiffness and gradually emerged from the soil.
Zhu Haowen struggled to open one eye, but what he saw was still the blazing fire. He tried to open the other eye, but he seemed to be shrouded in something and couldn't see the world clearly.
The burning sensation on his body disappeared, and all that was left was exhaustion.
"Hao Wen'er, are you awake?" Qin Ci's voice came over, making people feel as though their hearts were suddenly at ease.
Zhu Haowen didn't want Qin Ci to come over to help him, he gritted his teeth and opened his eyes, and pushed away the thing blocking his right eye, which seemed to be a huge piece of cloth.
The sound of the waves came and went, Zhu Haowen took a deep breath, made sure that he was not in the sea at the moment, reached out and touched, the box was still there, and now he opened the lid of the box and lay beside him, making a crazy and naughty tsunami sound, like a Willful companion.
Zhu Haowen sat up and found that Qin Ci and himself seemed to be sitting on a "boat" with a lot of cloth on the boat.
Zhu Haowen looked around, and when he saw it clearly, Rao Shi's face was always expressionless, and he couldn't help being surprised.
The place where the two are located can be said to be the interlayer between water and fire. The sky above is still a sea of fire, but there is a long distance between them. A fiery cloud-like landscape.
The two of them are now on a piece of water, the waves are like the sea, but the water is narrow, more like an inexplicable turbulent lake, and like a rushing river.
The fire from the "sky" reflected in the water, causing the entire water surface and the waves to glow with orange, red or golden luster. This is the real turbulence.
Zhu Haowen was silent for a long time, cleared his hoarse throat, but asked the least important question at the moment: "Why are there so many cloths on the boat?"
"This is Monk Hai's robe." Qin Ci said.
Zhu Haowen was a little surprised, looked at the boat again, and saw a monk's bald head at the bow of the boat. The bald head slowly looked back, revealing a monkey face, and smiled at the two of them.
I can't imagine that this monkey's body is floating on the water, and it looks like a big ao.
Zhu Haowen nodded at him as a thank you.
It turned out that the two of them had been sitting on the back of this monk Hai.
"Where are we going?" Zhu Haowen asked.
"I don't know, Monk Hai doesn't speak human language." Qin Ci had tried many times, but Monk Hai didn't respond, and he didn't seem to understand what Qin Ci was asking.
The mission of Monk Hai seems to be to introduce the two of them into the world under the sea of fire.
Only then did Zhu Haowen suddenly think of the most crucial question: "What time is it now?"
"It's more than three o'clock." Qin Ci replied, "I was woken up by the sound of the chime just now."
Zhu Haowen had already taken out his mobile phone, and the screen displayed: 3:21:00.
He woke up 20 minutes later than Qin Ci. Zhu Haowen looked at the odd-shaped fish that occasionally jumped out of the sea and asked, "What happened just now? Have we been on the water all the time?"
"I woke up and I'm here. The journey was relatively calm, but there were a group of small creatures in the sea who wanted to share this boat with us, but there were too many of them." The monks all ate it."
"… "
Zhu Haowen looked down at the "side of the boat", and saw that the water was sometimes clear, sometimes dark, and occasionally a school of fish swept past, like a big purple electric flower blooming on his back; occasionally a big fish jumped high out of the water, The fins on the back are like amber candy paintings, and the shape of a fish is re-carved crystal clear, as if the fins are its totem.
Both of them were shocked by the wonders in front of them. There are both large landscapes between fire and water, and small landscapes of countless strange creatures.
"I can't believe that there is actually a world of water in the fire," Qin Ci looked at the light and shadow of the "fire burning cloud" reflected on the water surface, "I really don't know who is accommodating who between them."
Zhu Haowen also pondered this question, but obviously the proposition is too big to complete: "Old Qin, where do you think the fragment will be hidden?"
Qin Ci looked at the vast world of water and fire, and sighed softly: "This world is too big, and we can't exchange news with other teammates, so we can't know what the rules of other branch worlds are. Is it like the paintings we entered before? I I think even these small offshoot worlds are harder to analyze."
Qin Ci is right. In the past, what everyone entered was just a painting. The painting contained the soul of the painter. In many cases, as long as you experience the spiritual world of the painter, you can solve some problems.
But the current painting is made up of 28 pieces of wooden boards, not to mention what kind of New Year's picture board each piece of wooden board comes from, and which piece of the picture each group members even entered is actually. I don't know, how can I find it
"I think the biggest feature of this "Hehe" is that there are many branches. The painting itself is composed of 28 pieces of wooden boards, and the painting itself was completed by two authors," Zhu Haowen began to try to summarize the rules Come to find clues, "Also, the pyramid drawn by the NPC for us is divided into 7 layers and arranged regularly, which itself is also a branch structure."
Qin Ci thought about Zhu Haowen's words carefully: "You mean that these branches are the characteristics of this world? Not only does the big world have branches, but our small world also has branches? Like the "Pure Land" that we experienced before? "
"I just think that through the various phenomena after we came to this world, this really doesn't look like a sequential and in-depth series of puzzles." Zhu Haowen said here, suddenly felt that the "ship" was shaking, and hurriedly stabilized I don't know what problems Monk Hai encountered in the water.
"Hao Wen'er, did you hear anything?" Qin Ci listened intently.
Zhu Haowen closed the opened wooden box first, and the very real sound of the stormy waves stopped instantly, and the water surface at this time was actually very calm.
A very distant roar came over, because the sound was too small and too far, it seemed a little distorted.
"I can't tell the sound clearly," Qin Ci frowned and listened to it for a long time. "It seems to be very far away from us, and it seems to be very close to us, as close as a mosquito in the ear."
"This is obviously the sound of roaring and roaring." Zhu Haowen corrected.
Qin Ci also felt that his metaphor about words was inappropriate: "Anyway, this sound is a bit strange... You said just now that lions roar and tigers roar, there is sea water everywhere, how can there be beasts on land?"
Zhu Haowen pointed at Monk Hai and said, "There can be monkeys here, why can't there be lions and tigers?"
At this time, Monk Hai began to speed up and swim forward, but the entire water surface formed a swirling current, making it impossible for Monk Hai to move forward.
From the trembling of the entire "hull", the two of them could understand Monk Hai's panic.
Qin Ci patted Monk Hai on the back, hoping to calm him down.
However, Monk Hai suddenly turned his head, his entire head turned 180 degrees to the back, and his dark eyes looked at Qin Ci and Zhu Haowen.
The two didn't know what Monk Hai was going to do for a while, but now they can only slowly approach their partners to form a united front.
"Qian Niu is shocked." Monk Hai suddenly opened his mouth to speak.
The words of it naturally surprised the two of them, but at this moment, they couldn't be surprised. Zhu Haowen asked, "Where is the diving cow? In the water? Why is it startled?"
In Zhu Haowen's understanding, the "stalking cow" is probably similar to the cattle and horses on land, and he will be "stunned" when he encounters something he is afraid of.
Monk Hai looked very panicked, and a monkey face wrinkled into a ball: "It's the cows that are startled! I have to run for my life!"
Both of them understood that the "escape" mentioned by Monk Hai must not include the two people on its back.
"You are young, you can hide," said Monk Hai.
"Where are we hiding?" Zhu Haowen asked anxiously.
"When you dive into the water, you can hide in the crevices of the rocks and the branches of the coral."
"We are not creatures in the sea, we can't dive for too long!" Qin Ci was also anxious.
Monk Hai seemed to be using his brains and suddenly stretched out a "hand". The hand was transformed from an ugly "turtle foot". There was also a strange fish in his hand, which seemed to be fished from the water just now. of.
Before Qin Ci could realize what was going on, he felt that he was slapped in the face by Monk Hai's huge palm.
Obviously, Zhu Haowen also took a bite, and his face was completely clouded at this time.
"This is going down, you can dive now," said Monk Hai.
Qin Ci only felt that his gills were a little different, and when he touched it with his hand, he realized that it opened and closed, giving birth to strange gills.
Zhu Haowen resisted the "rudeness" of the monk Hai just now and asked, "After we escaped the herd, where will we meet? Where will we go next? What is your purpose for bringing us here?"
"I don't know," Monk Hai waved his "hands" back and forth innocently, "I don't know if I can escape. If you can escape, go to the dragon girl."
"Who is the dragon girl? Where can I find her?"
"I don't know, anyway, she has been mending clothes all the time. The woman you find who mends clothes is the Dragon Girl." Monk Hai seemed to be a little nervous when he said this.
Only a loud roar was heard from afar.
"It's too late, I'm leaving!" Monk Hai's huge body swayed and swayed the two into the water.
