Behind the place where they fell, there was a portrait hanging on the wall...or it couldn't be called a painting, because the portrait in front of them was pitch black.
-This is a pure black painting.
On the wall where this painting hangs, there are densely packed portraits hanging from left to right.
"No, to be precise, the painting is a passageway from this restaurant to other areas."
Bai Zhi withdrew his gaze from the "gallery" in front of him and looked towards the hall behind him.
Just like what they saw on the wall painting before, this hall looked quite luxurious, but it also seemed quite empty here, with not a single person in sight.
"Ignore these paintings for now, let's explore this hall first."
After a moment of pondering, Bai Zhi made a decision in his mouth.
The goal of their trip was to explore, so whether they were exploring these paintings or the hall, it was the same, and there was not much difference between the two.
only…
〖The area ahead, let’s explore it later~〗
Volume One: The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 671 Chapter 662 Breeding Farm
The splendid hall is brightly lit by chandeliers overhead.
This hall has a back-shaped structure, with a total of four corridors leading to other areas. In the center of the hall is a circular staircase that can lead to the second floor.
It's just that Bai Zhi's idea of exploring the layout of the entire hall encountered a major setback at the beginning.
The four corridors leading to other areas and the circular stairs to the second floor are all blocked by an invisible air wall, making them all impassable.
And when they want to forcefully break through the air wall, a line of writing will appear on the air wall to remind them.
〖The area ahead, let’s explore it later~〗
"I feel like I'm being mocked."
Turning his head, Yanhuo Fengyue spoke to Bai Zhi with a serious face.
"After all, I'm just a trainee chef. There are definitely places I can't go to. At least I have to pass the internship period."
Looking at the line of writing that appeared on the air wall in front of him, Bai Zhi showed no concern.
"It would be truly strange if you could use a trainee chef's sign to travel through all areas of the restaurant unobstructed... Judging from the prompts on the air wall in front of you and the voice of the previous broadcast, in this In the restaurant, there should be players working here.”
"so what?"
Fireworks and Fengyue are a little confused.
"So the guy who set this prompt must have played Genshin Impact... I'll come back to explore it later. Let's go to other places to take a look first."
With a slight shrug, Bai Zhi returned to the painting where he came from.
"There are so many paintings here, there are always places you can enter, but it's best to pay attention to the time, so as not to be late for work at night..."
The gallery in front of them was filled with paintings from left to right. Apart from the painting when they came, there were twenty-nine paintings hanging on the wall.
But among the remaining twenty-nine paintings, thirteen paintings were completely black, just like the painting when they came, and ten paintings were pure white, a complete blank slate.
Among the remaining six paintings, some scenes are quite strange, such as a distorted human face with disorganized facial features, a wooden house with weird proportions that has been stretched and elongated to reveal fiber-like deformed veins, a floating Above the deep sea, there are small wooden boats with thousands of meters of giant beasts under the sea... God knows where these places lead.
Except for these three paintings, which have unknown meanings and are obviously dangerous to a certain extent, the remaining three paintings are slightly better in comparison.
Among the remaining three paintings, one depicts a lively market transaction scene, with people coming and going in an endless stream. This is also the only painting in which normal humans can be seen.
But in this painting, in addition to those human beings, there are also some deformed beings that also exist in the market. Those with three heads, five hands, heads as big as buckets, and eyes. On the neck... These aliens and humans live together in this market.
"I know this place."
After staring at the painting for a while, Yanhuo Fengyue suddenly spoke.
"What, have you been here before?"
Turning his head to look at the fireworks and wind and moon beside him, Bai Zhi looked slightly surprised.
"I haven't been there, but I can guess."
Yanhuo Fengyue looked serious.
"This is Fukushima, Japan, more than ten years later. It depicts a very common temple fair transaction scene at that time."
"Well... what you said is not impossible..."
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi nodded thoughtfully.
"That's right, you can get the whole picture at a glance. Ever since I saw the news about Japan's discharge of nuclear wastewater, I have had a premonition of the scene in Fukushima more than ten years later, where an old man will take a child with several heads to watch the sea."
Yanhuo Fengyue spoke seriously.
"So my suggestion is not to go to this painting, because there are too many people to beat, and it may cause physical changes or something. I don't want to become a monster."
"Then go for this one."
After a moment of thinking, Bai Zhi looked at another painting.
Among the remaining two paintings, one depicts a deep corridor with many rooms on both sides, while the other depicts a mountain top with green mountains and green waters. What Bai Zhi is looking at is right. It's the latter one.
… … … … … … … …
It was exactly the same experience as before. After a period of extreme changes in the vision in front of him, the figures of Bai Zhi and Yanhuo Feng appeared on the top of a high mountain.
As soon as my feet hit the ground, a blast of fresh mountain air hit my face.
Green mountains and green waters, birds singing and flowers fragrant.
The sun is shining brightly above the head, and the mountain breeze blows from time to time on the top of the mountain, bringing a moment of coolness.
"There is another mural here...does this mean we have traveled through time again?"
Turning back and looking at the big rock several people tall behind him, Yanhuo Fengyue blinked and asked Bai Zhi.
The reason why she asked such words was actually very simple, because everything in front of her didn't seem to be in a restaurant at all, but in a real world.
Pure green, pure ecology.
The place where they are now is a large island. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, you can vaguely see the seaside scene in the distance.
There is a waterfall flowing down on a mountain not far away. Standing here, they can clearly feel the fresh smell of water vapor. And not far from the foot of the mountain, there is an endless waterfall. The splendid flower fields rise and fall with the breeze blowing by. The forest is rolling, the stream is flowing, the breeze is gentle, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, just like a paradise.
"No, strictly speaking, we are still in the restaurant..."
He raised his head and looked at the sky, then lowered his head and looked at the scenery below the mountain. His eyes suddenly turned to something unintentionally, and Bai Zhi's expression changed slightly.
"We are in the wrong place. This is a breeding farm."
"Farm? What do you mean?"
Yanhuo Fengyue was a little confused.
"Where do you think the fresh ingredients we use when cooking come from? This is where those ingredients live."
Still looking into the distance, Bai Zhi's tone seemed a little solemn.
"Speaking of which, this restaurant is really generous. Judging from the ingredients provided at noon, this so-called breeding farm may not be the only one... Can one world be used as a breeding farm?"
"Why can't I see anything...Eh? When did you wear contact lenses?"
After following Bai Zhi's gaze but finding nothing, Yanhuo Fengyue looked back at Bai Zhi with a slightly depressed look, and then asked Bai Zhi curiously, as if Goblin had discovered a new world. stand up.
"Your golden colored contact lenses look..."
Before Yanhuo Fengyue could finish her words, she was caught off guard and held in Bai Zhi's arms. Before she could react, Bai Zhi hugged her and moved toward her without hesitation. Shanxia jumped over.
Just when they jumped off the cliff, where they were originally standing, a cage with a strange luster fell from the sky.
Volume One: The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 672 Chapter 663: Exploration
Jumping off a cliff is something that happens once and becomes familiar the next time.
No matter what it is, as long as you try it for a little bit, you will gradually get used to it.
Since he didn't know the specific reason for the sudden arrival of the cage, while his figure was still in the air, Bai Zhi quickly escaped into the shadows with the fireworks and wind and moon in his arms, and in the shortest time, he escaped from the cliff. The top went down to the cliff.
However, compared with what I saw on the top of the mountain before, the situation here at the foot of the mountain seems a bit worse.
It was humid and dark. A stream meandered at the foot of the mountain. The river water turned a strange black color for some unknown reason. There were pebbles of various sizes next to the river beach. These pebbles completely occupied this area.
"What happened just now?"
After standing firm, Yanhuo Fengyue raised her head and asked Bai Zhi.
She was not an idiot. To be able to let the other party jump off the mountain with her without even reminding him, something must have happened on the top of the mountain that she didn't know about.
"... To be precise, we should be regarded as food ingredients."
Bai Zhi raised his head and glanced upward, squinting his eyes slightly.
"Although this farm does not restrict the entry of us trainee chefs, it also does not guarantee the safety of us trainee chefs. Do you remember..."
Before Bai Zhi finished speaking, he suddenly felt a vibration under his feet.
Under the all-round view from God's perspective, Bai Zhi quickly realized what had happened. He had no time to speak anymore. A white magic dress appeared on his body out of thin air and he completed the change. He reached out and grabbed the hand of Yanhuo Fengyue beside him, and disappeared in an instant.
And in the next second, a hole appeared in the place where they were originally. Layers of cobblestones were piled high next to the hole, and they quickly collapsed toward the hole.
—If they had left even one second later, their fate would have been dire.
"Those pebbles are alive...is this thing also an ingredient?"
In the woods, watching the changes in the situation over there, Yanhuo Fengyue had a lingering fear on his face.
"No, it's a crab disguised as a stone."
After staring there for a moment, Bai Zhi shook his head.
"I said, this breeding farm is very dangerous, we should find other ways out as soon as possible."
"Even if you say so...but how are we going to get up there?"
He raised his head and glanced at the mountain in front of him that he had just jumped down from. The corners of Yanhuo Fengyue's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
"Speaking of which, what happened up there just now?"
"A cage falling from the sky has a 60% chance of being a harvesting mechanism in this farm, and a 40% chance of it being something else. But no matter what it is, being caught in that cage is never a good thing."
Bai Zhi shrugged slightly, with a noncommittal look on his face.
"Isn't it said in the rules? There are some dangerous areas in the restaurant, and those who step into them are at their own risk. This is not a good place. You don't think this is a tourist attraction, right?"
"Well... where are we going now? Climbing a mountain?"
Yanhuo Fengyue turned her head and looked at him.
"Let's go somewhere first. I found some interesting things when I was on the top of the mountain."
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi answered.
… … … … … … … …
The danger level in the forest is even worse than the stone crabs next to the black stream.
The millstone human-faced spider that lives in the dense jungle and spins webs everywhere, the steel centipede that hovers in the bushes waiting for an opportunity, and those large stick insects disguised as dead wood and leaves... One or two of these things alone are okay. But the thing is, these things all come in pairs.
The teleportation ability provided by [Magic Dress] is not omnipotent. Not to mention that this ability has a strict time limit. If you are not careful, you may fall into the lair of those forest predators at the next teleportation point. .
Fortunately, the place Bai Zhi wanted to go was not far away. After about 20 minutes of arduous trek, they finally arrived at the outer edge of the forest.
- What appeared in front of them was a gorgeous sea of flowers.
However, when I looked at it before, I didn't think anything was wrong. At most, I just sighed at the beauty of this gorgeous sea of flowers. But now when they walked closer to this sea of flowers, Yanhuo Fengyue vaguely felt that something was wrong. But she couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.
"Sea of flowers... what are you doing here?"
Unconsciously shrinking behind Bai Zhi, Yanhuo Fengyue asked Bai Zhi.
"Also, I don't know why, but the sea of flowers in front of me feels quite weird..."
"Because there are only flowers here."
Bai Zhi leaned down and walked at the edge of the sea of flowers, observing an unknown blue flower in front of him, and Bai Zhi answered casually.
"When I was walking in the woods before, the woods were quite lively with all kinds of creatures, but in the sea of flowers in front of me, there were only flowers."
"You mean this sea of flowers can eat people... No, it can eat food?"
