Monument of Life and Death

  Chapter 464 Ruins

"I don't know how long I've been hiding here..." The old man flipped his cloak and sat down slowly, "I remember, I looked there, just one look, I only saw... disgusting Bones and... weird things, they took my eyes, and then I ran away, I heard someone chasing me behind, a river... Then I seemed to fall into a river, and when I woke up, Here it is."

   Xiaolan sat opposite her, the damp ground was cold, "So you don't even know where you are?"

The old man laughed silently, and stretched out his hand to pat the side wall, "I have lived here for so long, but I can actually figure out some of it. It should be underwater, I guess, it’s an underwater cave, but I walked. I have gone everywhere that I can reach, but I haven't found an exit yet."

   Xiaolan was silent for a few seconds.

   "You... Are you Langs?"

  The old man grinned, showing two rows of corrupted black teeth, "I am, why, do you know me?"

   Xiaolan shook her head, thinking that she could not see, so she said, "I don't know you, but I know the legend here. I am Jinxian of this year and Lang's Jinxian."

   "Master Jin Xian?" The old man's body stiffened.

   "Yes," Xiaolan said in a loud voice, "We are going to solve this matter completely."

  The old man sighed softly, and straightened up quickly, "You?..."

  "This is a decision made by several of us Jinxian, including Lang's Jinxian and Mai's Jinxian." Xiaolan added.

   "There is only the voice of you alone." The old man hinted.

   "I..." Xiaolan was speechless for a while, "Uh... they left by boat, I accidentally... fell into the river, so..."

  The old man suddenly became more energetic, "Then you must know where the exit is."

"That exit... we shouldn't be able to get out," Xiaolan rejoiced for half a second because he couldn't see the disappointment in the eyes of the old man, and then said, "But my entrance and yours should not be the same, we can look for other exits. There is air circulation here, and there must be a way to get out."

  The old man cheered up, touched the human face spider's back, and nodded.

   "Then can you take me to the place where you came in first?" Xiao Lan stood up.

  The human face spider waved its forefoot several times in a demonstration against Xiaolan.

  The old man tremblingly supported the wall and stood up. Xiaolan wanted to step forward to help, but was stopped by the old man.

   "Master Jin Xian, you are welcome. This little guy has been with me all the time. He doesn't want other animals to approach me... Go here, there is a ditch in front of me, be careful."

   Xiaolan glanced at the face spider lying on the shoulders of the old man, "Are there any other animals here?"

"Of course there are, but not many." The old man turned another turn. "Occasionally there will be some insects and snakes. Snakes have appeared here a few times, but this little guy is not afraid of anything. When he sees you It should also treat you as a prey, but it may think we are very similar. Guessing that we may be the same kind, it drove you to me first."

  Are spiders so smart? !

  "Aren't spiders afraid of snakes?" Xiaolan slipped and stood firm.

   "This is the common sense," the old man said proudly, as if boasting about his child, "but he is not afraid of anything."

  Human Face Spider seemed to feel that the old man was praising himself, and raised his front feet, just like a black crab.

   "Right," Xiaolan followed the old man's pace closely, "Since you saw the people at the end of the river, are there many people there? Why did they take your eyes?"

   "I don't know, I haven't seen anyone."

   "I didn't see anyone?" Xiaolan stumbled in surprise, "Who is that... I'm sorry, I took your eyes?"

  The old man shook his head vaguely, then turned around with Xiaolan, and pointed to the front, "This is where I came in."

   Xiaolan walked a few steps forward and observed that the structure was almost the same place as the area where she fell.

  The same rocks and passages, the same small holes in the roof, the only difference is that on the other side of the cave, there is an exit, I don’t know where it leads to.

   "It seems that you were also involved in the whirlpool," Xiao Lan pursed her lips, "but there is no exit here, go, let's look in other directions."

  Two people, a spider, turned to another passage leading to the open area, and searched aimlessly.

  ***

   "Is the night deep?" Jasmine wrapped her coat and shrank in the depression in the stern of the boat.

  Out of the pool under the waterfall, the boat returned to the middle of the stream. The difference was that only three people were left on the boat.

  Also, the stream that has always moved parallel to the moon has turned into a direction that goes straight to the moon.

  The three of them took turns rowing. After being strongly asked to rest by Meili, Jasmine finally put on the coat contributed by Lu Qianqian and leaned on the stern to take a rest.

   "It's late at night, it's pitch black," Mei Li said while paddling, "Really, will there be an end of the river?"

  The three of them were silent together.

   seems to have been gone for a long time.

  But at the end of the line of sight, there is still fog and wilderness.

   Meili turned her head, and saw that Jasmine, who was shrinking behind the boat, was desperately preventing her eyelids from closing, she smiled softly, "Jasmine, if you want to sleep, just sleep for a while..."

  Lu Qianqian also turned his head and looked at Jasmine gently.

  When Jasmine heard this, her eyes widened, and she shook her head hurriedly, “I don’t want to sleep, change shift soon, Meili, you are still hurt, I...”

   Before she could finish her words, Jasmine took a hissing breath.

   "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?" Meili grabbed her wrist.

  Lu Qianqian realized something was wrong and turned to look in the direction of the bow.

   "Merry, look at it."

  They have been looking forward to it, but they are terrified.

  The end of the river is here.

  The mist that has been lingering in front of you seems to suddenly dissipate, leaving a dilapidated pier not far away, and a ruin-like building against the dark night.

   Jasmine suddenly came to his senses, and the three of them bowed down and approached the dock a little bit by the natural fluctuation of the water.

   "No one." Lu Qianqian glanced.

  The pier was empty, with only a lone bollard standing in the night breeze.

   With a bang, the boat docked.

  Lu Qianqian pulled the rope, cautiously jumped to the dock, and secured the boat.

  Merry and Jasmine jumped up after them.

  "Will you go in now?" Meili asked the two of Xiang Xiang while looking at the ruins.

The answer is obvious.

   "Be careful." Lu Qianqian walked in the front, pressing down his throat and said.

   Jasmine nodded, "The three of us must never be separated."

  The three nodded together.

  Three figures in the dark night, step by step approaching the ruins full of death.

  In the darkness, there are countless pairs of green eyes staring at them.
