Chapter 257: Stones, pools of water

Views:

When Meng Yu landed on the first stone, he realized something was wrong. The moment he stepped on it, the stone sank slightly, and Meng Yu was so scared that he wanted to take back his steps. Fortunately, that The stone only sank slightly, and did not really sink.

Only then did Meng Yu realize that he had no idea how deep the pool was.

"Fortunately, I can fly." Thinking about it, Meng Yu immediately felt a lot easier.

However, this kind of ease didn't last long, because he found that he couldn't fly anymore, no matter how desperately he urged his fighting spirit, his body standing on the stone remained motionless.

But he tried to take a step, but he was not hindered at all. However, when he wanted to walk back, he realized that there was nothing behind him, even Mu Qing, who was standing behind him just now, had disappeared. .

And behind the rock he was standing on, except for the bottomless pool, the land on which he was standing just now had already disappeared, and Meng Yu hadn't noticed all this before.

"Illusion?" Meng Yu turned around, took steps according to his own memory, and prepared to return to the shore just now, but he still didn't take that step after all, he was not sure whether it was Xiao Shuitan behind him or just an illusion.

If it was really a small pool, he believed that falling in it would definitely not feel good, otherwise, the people who arranged it would not have to spend so much effort.

The 50% chance is not small in many cases, but when this chance is linked to life and death, people often choose a more secure way to solve the problem.

Just like Meng Yu now, he smiled wryly, took back his steps, turned around again, and faced the stones in front of him.

Only then did he realize that there were still eight stones in front of him, as long as he stepped over these stones, he could reach the other side. All of this seemed easy.

But Meng Yu, who had experienced the thrilling sinking of the rocks just now, knew that it was impossible for the rocks behind to be crossed so easily.

Glancing at the rock he was on, it was just an ordinary bluestone slab, and there were even rough edges and corners on it. At this time, Meng Yu's shoes, along with the rock, were soaked in the pool water. Among them, the icy cold pool water made Meng Yu more sure that he could not fall into the pool, otherwise, the consequences would be quite disastrous.

After standing on the first stone slab for an entire hour, Meng Yu didn't take the second step. If he could, he even wanted to stand on this stone forever. People are already afraid of the unknown. What's more, this kind of unknown thing may kill him.

In the final analysis, Meng Yu is still just a child. On the earth, children as old as he are mostly still staying in the warm and comfortable ivory tower, living a life of putting on clothes, reaching out for food, and opening their mouths. scene.

Meng Yu had seen many dangerous situations, but if he died for no apparent reason, it wouldn't be worth it, so Meng Yu didn't want to take the second step.

However, he had to take the second step, because he is not alone, and his dry food is not enough for him to stay here for the rest of his life. Even if you have so much dry food, it is impossible for him to make such a choice.

Therefore, some fears still have to be faced after all.

After thinking about it, Meng Yu finally raised his right foot again.

When his right foot touched the second stone slab, the first stone slab began to sink without any warning. If Meng Yu hadn't stopped his foot fast enough, he might have lost his standing and fell into the pool.

However, even so, he still felt the second stone slab sinking continuously, which made his heart sink as well.

"Float up, float up!"

Meng Yu closed his eyes and meditated in his heart. At this moment, he finally looked like a teenager.

And the stone slab seemed to have heard Meng Yu's prayer. Meng Yu felt that the stone slab stopped sinking and stopped at the current height. Even so, Meng Yu's calf was already soaked in the water. The pool was in the water, and the biting chill let Meng Yu know that if he didn't leave quickly, he might freeze to death in the pool.

Slowly opening his eyes, he saw a high-rise building made of reinforced concrete, but this building was not completed, and the hideous concrete and steel bars were still exposed in front of Meng Yu in a primitive form.

Meng Yu felt that this building was a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember it when he patted his head.

"Get out of the way, Xiao Meng!"

"Xiao Meng, get out of the way!"

A burst of anxious shouts came from behind Meng Yu, together with the roar of the cement pump. Meng Yu knew those people, and the one who waved anxiously to him was the big Zhang Shengli.

Zhang Shengli is a fellow from his hometown, and Zhang Shengli even helped him find the job as a temporary worker on the construction site, and he usually takes good care of her.

"Yes, isn't this the place where I work?"

Meng Yu was startled: "Could it be? The previous ones were just a dream?"

Meng Yu stood there thinking blankly, turning a deaf ear to Zhang Shengli's words from his fellow villager Zhang Shengli.

boom!

There was a muffled sound of a blunt object hitting, and Meng Yu felt that he had a splitting headache, as if his head had been pried open, and it really penetrated to the bone marrow.

Then, in a blur, he saw a figure lying on the ground, that person, somewhat resembling himself, a big hole was punched out of that figure's head, and at this moment, blood was dripping with tears.

For a moment, when Meng Yu's eyes regained focus, he realized that he was still standing on the stone slab, and his feet had become a little numb from the cold pool water, because he couldn't feel the feeling he had felt before. Feeling cold again.

It's just that the scene just now was too real, so real that he couldn't tell whether he was in a dream now or just now, and he stood there in a daze, just like just now.

Fortunately, because the pain just now was too real, strands of cold sweat had already appeared on Meng Yu's forehead, and the cool wind that came from nowhere woke Meng Yu up instantly.

Looking at the road paved with seven stone slabs left on the other side, Meng Yu was a little frightened. What happened just now was really too weird.

However, whether it is in a dream or in reality, I have to survive first. I still have a lot of things to do.

Images echoed in his mind, and Meng Yu's eyes became firm again. It turned out that before he knew it, his bond with this world was already so deep.

Perhaps because he felt Meng Yu's firmness, this time, the third stone slab did not sink, which surprised Meng Yu a little. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no interference from the cold pool water, Meng Yu stood there quietly and began to think.

He thought, even if there is danger here, there is absolutely no way out of it. Otherwise, how would the people of the Liu family benefit from it

Recalling the image of floating up and down on the second stone slab just now, and the thoughts in my heart when I stepped on the first stone slab and sank the moment the stone slab sank.

"Could it be? These stone slabs rise and fall with the mind? Mind, isn't it spiritual power?"

Meng Yu was ecstatic in his heart. He had an intuition that he had found the key to this mysterious treasure.

After thinking about it for a long time, Meng Yu decided to give it a try. No matter how good the theory is, if there is no practical test, no one will dare to say that he is right.

However, it turns out that Meng Yu guessed right this time, but he clearly felt that the fourth stone slab was much heavier than the previous ones, because even if he tried his best to mobilize his mental power, the stone slab was still in place. Sinking at a slow speed, Meng Yu believed that if he kept stopping here, he might still fall into the pool in the end.

However, he is not a piece of wood, so naturally he will not stand still there.

Meng Yu's heart was full of joy. In his heart, the remaining five stone slabs were no longer a natural barrier, but a smooth road. This feeling was more refreshing than chewing on a few popsicles in the hot summer. He had never experienced it before. people, will never understand.

However, at this moment, Meng Yu's eyes went dark, and then, a few sparse stars appeared in the distant sky. As time passed, the stars became brighter and brighter, even, That round of jade plate even ran out to join in the fun.

"I do!"

A voice came from behind Meng Yu, and Meng Yu was shocked. He turned his head, only to see a beautiful black figure disappearing from his eyes at a very fast speed.

Although he couldn't distinguish the black shadow, that voice was too familiar to him.
