Qin Ning's struggle

The passage between the boulders is not smooth, like a steep slope, leading directly to the ground.

Halfway through, the space suddenly narrowed.

Qin Ning was almost caught in the stone, unable to move.He had to take a deep breath and turned his head to the side to barely break free without being stuck.

After this experience, the spider silk cloth on his body turned gray.The part that was torn apart by Li Yan was tightened and hung loosely on the shoulder.Rubbing through the cracks of the stone, the button was loosened due to the pulling resistance, and the fabric fell to the waist.

The stone wall is very cool, like a black iceberg.

Luckily it's smooth.

Otherwise, it will be as uneven as the corridor, and a layer of skin will be rubbed off before going out.

Qin Ning moved with difficulty, walked about 200 meters, and finally left the narrowest part.

"call--"

Taking a deep breath, Qin Ning stopped and moved his arms and legs a little.

Survival in a narrow space sounds nice to say, but few people can stand it in practice.

The road is getting wider and wider, and the wind is getting stronger.

The long hair was blown by the wind and the line of sight was blocked, making it more difficult to move forward.

Persistence always pays off.

After about half an hour, Qin Ning finally walked through the narrow road and out of the gap between the boulders.

At both ends of the channel, there are completely two worlds.

The cliff on one side is steep, the stone wall is towering, experienced volcanic eruption, the ground trembled and the mountains shook, almost everywhere.On the other side, there is the sound of gurgling water and the cool breeze.The clear stream, coiled around the strangely shaped stalagmites, meanders and flows throughout the entire stone forest.

"Underground cave?"

On an island, not far apart, there are actually two completely different landforms!

Approaching the water source, Qin Ning bent down and picked up the stream.

The bubbling spring water is not as cold as imagined, but rather warm.To be on the safe side, I restrained myself and didn't try it.

The terrain is inclined, and the streams merge into underground rivers, rushing and flowing.

The sound of water heard before must have come from this.

Small palm-sized fish drift along the water or hide in the crevices of stalagmites. The scales on their bodies are the best protective color.

There is another kind, with a streamlined fish body and short arms.The dorsal fin is very thin, and the three fin bones stand up obliquely backward, gliding across the water, like a transparent sail.

After watching carefully for a while, Qin Ning felt that these fish were very similar to the freshwater fish in the forest, but the size and color were slightly different.If this is the case, does it mean that this underground river connects to the island and can return to the ground along the river?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it was, Qin Ning walked into the stone forest without hesitation.

The cold wind is blowing, and the strange-shaped stalactites are either hanging above the head or standing beside the body.

An exposed mineral vein hangs among the stalactites.

The ores are arranged in a staggered manner, flowing with colorful light, like stars dotted on the rock wall.

There is a ticking sound along the way, which is the dripping water drops from the upside-down stalactites.

I don't know how long it has passed, leaving puddles of different depths on the ground.

The water drops fell, making a tinkling sound.Walking in it is like being in a fairyland.

The deeper you go, the more magnificent the scenery becomes.

Bypassing a row of dense stone pillars, the magnificence turned into dilapidated in an instant.Many tall stalagmites were cut off from them and fell to the ground.Fractures are too smooth to be formed naturally.

Unintentionally exploring, Qin Ning quickened his pace, passed through the gravel, and arrived at the center of the stone forest.

A gray-white stone pillar suddenly appeared in front of him.

Qin Ning raised his head and couldn't help but exclaim.

Where is this stalagmite, it is clearly a stone tower!

The top of the tower is directly connected to the dome, blending with the gray rock.

The stone scales are stacked to form the eaves of the tower.

There are waterfalls hanging down from the gray stone, and the water flows over the tower body, interlaced and connected to form a circular water network.

There are two or three hollows in the middle of the stone pagoda. Due to the distance and the water curtain, they cannot be seen very clearly.

The diameter of the bottom of the tower is close to [-] meters, surrounded by a circular river bed. The water overflows, scours and opens the path, and flows, forming the thickest underground river.

The river is not deep, just below the knees.

Qin Ning walked across the river, approaching the stalagmite.A strange sense of intimacy washed over my mind again.

Inside this stone tower, there must be something attracting him.

Raising his hand, Qin Ning hesitated.

Two seconds later, it was still covered with ice-cold stone skin.

The stone scales are very rough, icy cold from the inside out.The water that washes over the forearm is extraordinarily warm.

The colder the palm, the warmer the arm.

Feeling very contradictory.

"strangeness."

Qin Ning frowned, and covered it with another hand.

Coldness and warmth mixed together, along the arms, and quickly poured into the body.

In an instant, his hands were sucked by the stone scales, unable to move at all.

"Oops!"

Qin Ning was shocked, struggling backwards, trying to withdraw his hands.The supposedly solid stalagmite started to shake slightly.

Seeing this situation, Qin Ning didn't dare to move again.

Being stuck, you can always figure out a way.If a stalagmite collapses, ten out of ten will be crushed.

As time passed, Qin Ning racked his brains and was still at a loss, feeling more and more anxious.

For some reason, the flow of water was suddenly cut off.

The warmth is gone, and the coldness is instantly piercing.

Qin Ning couldn't help shivering, the black totem spread rapidly, and soon covered the entire upper arm.

At the same time, the stone tower began to shake again.There was a piercing echo from the hollow in the middle.After a few breaths, the outermost stone skin slowly began to peel off.

Qin Ning was in a hurry.

His hands are still stuck, and if he continues to stand here, he is undoubtedly waiting to be smashed!

Strangely, the gravel rolled down from the sky, as if blocked by force, none of them hit Qin Ning.

The hand that was stuck to the stalagmite broke free in an instant.

Qin Ning backed away quickly.

In the center of the stone forest, the stone pagoda cracked, its outer skin peeled off, and pieces kept falling on the ground.Most of the surrounding stalagmites were affected and cut off in the middle.The broken stalagmites collided with each other, the dust billowed, and the noise was deafening.

In less than a moment, the stone forest was in a mess and changed drastically.

As if the situation wasn't bad enough, there was another loud noise behind Qin Ning.The top of the rock shattered, the ore fell one after another, and the passage when it came was completely blocked.

With no way to retreat, Qin Ning could only bend down, hide behind the broken stalagmite, and hold on until the "disaster" was over.

After an unknown amount of time, the loud noise disappeared.

Qin Ning probed and found that the stone pagoda had disappeared, and a few stone edges remained at the bottom, surrounding a stone platform nearly two meters high.

A huge phoenix bird was crouching in the middle of the stone platform.

The jet-black tail feathers spread out on the stone.

The head and neck are drooping, and the single wings are spread out, holding an oval gray stone in a protective posture.

I don't know how many years have passed, the flesh and blood of Heifeng has dried up, and the feathers have lost their luster, as if they would turn into fly ash if touched lightly.

Near the neck of the phoenix, more than ten white fragments were scattered.

Qin Ning spread out his light wings and flew up.He had a feeling that it was these fragments that attracted him.

The closer you get to Heifeng, the stronger the intimacy.

After falling to the edge of the stone platform, Qin Ning took a few steps forward, bent down and picked up a few pieces of jade.Regardless of the thickness and hardness, when spliced ​​together, it is completely a bird's egg!

The fragments moved away, revealing a fuzzy pattern.

The colors are vivid and abstract.

"Strange, why is it so familiar?"

After brushing away the dust, Qin Ning became more startled the more he looked at it.

A flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I suddenly remembered that the strange rock I found before falling into the crack of the ground had a similar pattern!

Strange rocks, ground fissures, stalagmites, stone platforms, skeletons...

Before he could clear his mind, Heifeng's bones suddenly began to weather.The gray stone in his arms lost its protection and rolled towards the edge of the stone platform.

Qin Ning reached out his hand subconsciously, but failed to hold back.

He watched the gray stone fall to the ground and shatter into two halves.A chick is wrapped in the section, which is small in size and has clearly identifiable feathers.

Flying down the stone platform, Qin Ning picked up the broken gray stone, the corners of Qin Ning's eyes were red, and something seemed to be blocked in his throat.

Her cheeks were wet and her vision blurred.

Raising his hand, a drop of salty tears dripped into his palm.

"why?"

Holding an unhatched chick is like holding the most precious treasure in the world.

The black totem continued to spread, and the memory belonging to the main body finally began to recover.

The memory of his blood tells him that this is his birthplace, and his blood relatives are in his arms!

Grief is like a tidal wave.

Tears smashed into the dust, bringing a little bit of fly ash.

Overwhelmed by grief, Qin Ning fell to the ground, like a baby bird that lost the protection of its parents, folded its wings and croaked hoarsely.

The stone platform collapsed, and the bones of the black phoenix turned into dust, washed by the current, poured into the underground river, and soon disappeared.

Meanwhile, the volcano finally stopped erupting.

The three Li Yan who were trapped in the cave were lucky not to be roasted, and they waited for rescue.

In the dark crater, the magma is gradually cooling.

In the fissures on the surface, flames rose up from time to time, and hot air sprayed out.

Several Yu people with long platinum hair and brown eyes stretched their wings, tightened the leash with one hand, and slowly fell from the crater.

With the remaining energy of the laser shield, the cave where the three of Li Yan were hiding was quickly discovered.

Seeing the situation in the cave, everyone was stunned for a moment, then turned their heads one after another, their shoulders trembling suspiciously.

The three hawks in the cave, in order to dig a hole to escape, were sweating profusely and covered themselves in dust.After being scorched by magma for a long time, he didn't become bald, and it didn't get much better.

This scene is really rare to see in a hundred years.

Enough of laughing, one of them flew up to him, looked Li Yan up and down, his face full of jokes.

"Commander, do you need medical attention?"

"Need not!"

Li Yan gritted her teeth.

When this group of guys showed up, Lord Bai must have also arrived at Yuan Xing.

It has only been three days since the message was sent out, and it has come so quickly, which shows that Lord Bai attaches great importance to this matter.

Thinking of this, Li Yan gritted her teeth again.

The current situation is also forced by the situation.

That chick is really a bird, his contribution is definitely not small, no matter how embarrassing it is, it is worth it!

only……

Turning to look at the security officer who was also in a panic, Li Yan made up her mind to transfer the bird away immediately after returning.Before finding out whether he is related to the crow, he must not be transferred back to his side!
