Chapter 77 Rising and Ebbing Tide
After an unknown number of years, the void finally welcomed the first living alien life.
Zhao Lihe, who was dressed in white and dressed like an ancient man, got off the black off-road vehicle and looked at the tall mountain peaks shrouded in darkness in front of him with shock on his face by the light of the off-road vehicle.
In the center of the mountain peak, illuminated by lights, a stone-stepped mountain road appeared.
The stone steps go straight up, all the way to the peak, disappearing into the darkness beyond the light.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhao Lihe was so shocked that he couldn't help but murmured.
"Brother, this...where is this?"
"boom!"
Lin Zhongtian closed the car door and walked to Zhao Lihe, looking up at the mountain peaks in front of him with him.
"Who knows, I only know that this is a transit point for countless worlds - do you see the stars in the sky above your head?"
Zhao Lihe raised his head following Lin Zhongtian's gaze, looked at the dots of silver light on the black curtain above his head, and nodded reluctantly: "I saw it."
Lin Zhongtian smiled and stretched out his hand, pointed at them and whispered: "Then every star is a world!"
As he spoke, he took Zhao Lihe's shoulders and turned around, pointing at the large silver ball of light about three meters long and wide behind the off-road vehicle, and said softly: "Behind that silver ball of light is the embroidery where you are. Spring Knife World.”
"..."
Zhao Lihe was shocked and speechless. After a long time, he calmed down and regained his language ability. He said in a difficult tone: "So, brother, you are not a traveler in the same world as me, but a time traveler who travels through different worlds?"
"Well... that's not wrong to understand. However, the world you are in is indeed the first world I have ever been to."
"..." Zhao Lihe turned around and looked at the mountain peak shrouded in darkness and said, "Then what is this place? Hasn't it become the main god space of the main god space?"
"Of course not. As I said just now, this is just a transit station between the worlds!"
"Then why is the world I live in the world of the movie "Xiu Chun Dao"?"
Lin Zhongtian frowned: "This is also one of the biggest doubts in my heart."
Zhao Lihe took a deep breath, then jumped twice, frowning and said: "Since it is a gap between worlds, why is there air with the same composition as the earth? And the gravity I feel seems to be the same as the earth."
As he spoke, Zhao Lihe raised his legs again, stepped on the solid ground under his feet, and said worriedly: "And this land, this mountain peak, this stone step road, everything is full of human traces..."
"You are calm and alert!"
Lin Zhongtian laughed, shook his head and said: "Don't worry blindly. The air is sucked from your world, and the gravity is because the mountain peaks under our feet are revolving around a certain point. As for this seemingly man-made stone step road, it is I’ll know if I go up and take a look?”
Lin Zhongtian patted Zhao Lihe on the shoulder, turned on the high-power flashlight he carried, and took the lead in stepping onto the stone steps.
Although Zhao Lihe was full of doubts, he still followed him out of trust in Lin Zhongtian.
Not long after, the two reached the end of the stone steps and looked up to see the tall palace.
The entire palace is made of rocks, with a single color tone, but it is full of primitive and wild atmosphere.
Entering the hall, eight white stone pillars stood on both sides. The light in Lin Zhongtian's hand flashed across the stone pillars, and many exquisite dragon-shaped patterns could be vaguely carved on them.
Zhao Lihe looked at the appearance of the palace and said softly: "This palace seems a bit monotonous."
Lin Zhongtian replied casually: "It's just using local materials. It's normal for it to be monotonous."
Using local materials...
Zhao Lihe was slightly startled: "Does the elder brother know how this palace was built?"
Lin Zhongtian waved his hand and continued to move forward: "I also guessed it - Nuo, have you seen the altar table in front of you? Those on it are the things I moved from your world and another world."
"..."
Zhao Lihe stopped and looked at the huge altar table in front of him along with the light.
This altar table was about fifteen meters long and five meters wide. It was simply the largest altar table Zhao Lihe had ever seen in his life. Coupled with this huge and empty palace, Zhao Lihe felt deeply that he was insignificant, and he felt a sense of insignificance. The illusion of an ancient giant's residence.
There are many objects placed on the altar table. On the far left are a large number of various gold, silver and jade stones, which are valuable. In the middle are neatly arranged guns and ammunition. They are rich in variety and span a huge time span, from the First World War to The 21st century has it all.
As for the far right, there is an ordinary iron cage with a sleeping wild pheasant inside.
When he saw the pile of neatly arranged firearms, Zhao Lihe was immediately attracted. He quickly stepped forward, picked up a Mosin-Nagant M1891 rifle by the light, and caressed the rifle fondly. The gun body bears the traces of time.
"Brother, did you get these from another world?"
"That's right."
"So that world is in the modern era - is it also a movie world?"
"Well, have you ever heard of John Wick?"
"Ah?!" Zhao Lihe couldn't help turning his head and said in surprise, "A quick pursuit?"
Lin Zhongtian smiled and nodded, then lifted the iron cage on the far right, glanced at Zhao Lihe and said: "Okay, don't worry about this for now. Don't you want to know why there are so many artificial traces here? Then come with me first .”
"..."
Zhao Lihe glanced at Lin Zhongtian on his right, and then at the Mosingana in his hand. He hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly put it back to its original position, then turned around and followed Lin Zhongtian's footsteps.
Soon, the two of them walked out of the back door of the palace.
What catches the eye is a U-shaped cliff. There is no grass growing on the edge of the cliff, only a few scattered large rocks.
Zhao Lihe followed Lin Zhongtian to the edge of the cliff, and looked down under the light. Under the cliff was a rolling sea of gray mist, like thick dark clouds with rough waves, brewing unknown dangers, which was daunting.
Just before Zhao Lihe recovered from this shocking scene, Lin Zhongtian suddenly threw the iron cage off the cliff.
The sleeping pheasant in the cage woke up in mid-air, flapped its wings crazily, and screamed with fear.
But no matter how hard it struggled, it could not avoid the fate of falling into the sea of gray fog together with the iron cage.
The next second, the billowing gray cloud completely swallowed up the iron cage and the pheasant.
Zhao Lihe's eyes widened and he couldn't help but take a few steps back, with a look of fear on his face.
He clearly saw that the moment the pheasant came into contact with the gray mist, the gray mist was like a shark that smelled blood, rushing towards the pheasant's body crazily, and in just a moment, it completely dissolved and eliminated its entire flesh and blood body.
"This...what is this?"
Zhao Lihe stood on the edge of the cliff, feeling frightened and couldn't help but ask a question.
Lin Zhongtian glanced at him: "This is the gray mist energy I mentioned. The jade Perry I gave you is also the same thing."
Zhao Lihe was startled when he heard this, touched the jade pendant he wore close to his body, and murmured: "But brother, didn't you say that this energy is life energy that helps life evolve?"
"Yes, but too much tonic is poison. I shouldn't need to explain the dosage to you, right?"
Lin Zhongtian turned his head and looked at the sea of gray fog clouds under the cliff and explained softly: "According to my guess, there will be a gray fog riot here every once in a while, just like the rise and fall of the tide. When the tide rises, everything will be covered by the gray fog. The sea of fog is submerged, and when the tide recedes, the mountain peak emerges from the sea of fog.”
"Those things with artificial traces may be left by people who entered here during low tide before."
"As for those people, there are probably only two endings, either they die of old age with their secrets, or they are swallowed by the sea of gray fog."
Lin Zhongtian was talking nonsense seriously, but Zhao Lihe listened thoughtfully and nodded in agreement.
After Lin Zhongtian finished speaking, Zhao Lihe sighed softly and said: "What the elder brother said is absolutely true. After all, no one knows how long this cycle is, and it is impossible to enter during high tide. Entering by force will only lead to death."
"In this case, once a high tide event occurs, the only option is to abandon this place."
Having said this, Zhao Lihe paused and said with a wry smile: "Brother, you brought me here to tell me this news. Aren't you afraid of a sudden gray fog rising tide incident?"
