After staying in the dark for a long time, one's eyesight will naturally become stronger, but suddenly seeing natural light is unavoidable and dazzling. However, this bright light is no less than having gone hungry for three days, only to have someone suddenly place a plate of braised pork in front of you.
Cha Wenbin had been searching for a way out since he fell into the ancient well, and at this moment, he finally found an exit. The excitement was indescribable, and he involuntarily forgot everything around him and shouted out loud.
This shout made Super and Zhuo Xiong, who were awakened by the earthquake, hear it clearly. The voice came from below the crack. The two looked at each other, and Super asked incredulously: "Is that Wen Bin?" Zhuo Xiong nodded his head repeatedly, perhaps too excited, only making "uh-huh, uh-huh" sounds in his mouth.
Chao Zi's eyes widened as he grabbed Zhuo Xiong's shoulder, shaking him vigorously and shouting: "Is it really Wen Bin? Is he down there?"
"It's him, it's Wen Bin's voice! He's still alive!" Zhuo Xiong was also extremely excited and shouted loudly towards the crack: "Brother Wen Bin!"
Zhang Wenbin suddenly felt that someone was calling him as he looked up at the light, so he glanced around and found no one except a three-legged toad. But the voice was indeed calling his name, which sounded very familiar.
"Brother Wenbin! Are you down there?" It was Chaozi's voice! Cha Wenbin heard clearly this time, and He Yichao was calling out to him. Were they on top? Cha Wenbin was overjoyed, cupping his hands around his mouth to amplify his voice: "Chaozi, is that you?"
The two above were overjoyed, no mistake, it was indeed Cha Wenbin! Originally, Chaozi thought that even if he hadn't fallen to his death, he must have drowned long ago. He was shocked and immediately came back to his senses, wanting to jump down right away, shouting: "It's us! We'll come find you right away!" After speaking, he quickly pulled out the bundle of climbing rope, found a large tree nearby to tie it to, and threw one end of the rope into the crevice.
Cha Wenbin only saw a long rope descending from the sky in the crack, and finally revealed a long-lost smile on his face. When people are alone, they especially miss the collective. Now it's good, three brothers can fight side by side again. Cha Wenbin, who was only concerned with this joy, didn't notice the changes around him at all, his eyes fixed tightly on the gap.
Because of the lesson from the last time at the ancient well, Chao Zi and Zhuo Xiong decided that this time only one person would go down. The problem was who to choose, there was hardly any room for discussion. He Yi Chao insisted on going down to find his brother Wen Bin. It wasn't that Zhuo Xiong didn't want to go down, he also wanted to, but he understood the importance of finding Wen Bin for He Yi Chao, so he didn't argue anymore.
Carrying some emergency supplies, Chaozi grabbed the climbing rope and squeezed into the narrow crevice with a "zip" sound. Below, Cha Wenbin vaguely saw a figure and recognized it as the young man, shouting: "Chaozi, slow down!"
At this time, the three-legged toad beside him suddenly shouted: "Gulu!", This fellow would not shout if nothing was wrong. Cha Wenbin turned around and took a look. My god, what happened to the underground lake just now? Not far away, the ground also cracked open with a wide gap of several meters. What surprised him even more was that a stone staircase extended down along the crack.
At this moment, the position he occupied was exactly at the entrance of the stone steps. Two huge bronze pillars had unknowingly risen beside him, one emerging from the water outlet he saw earlier underwater, and the other on his other side, seemingly in the same location as the faintly visible entrance.
Each pillar had a massive bronze chain tied to it, one end of which was inserted into the steps on both sides and could not be seen where the passage was. What surprised him even more was that the two pillars were now like two electric motors, constantly rotating, and the chains in the steps were also constantly being pulled back and forth, as if pulling something over here.
From the stairs, a rumbling sound was faintly transmitted, and the sound grew louder and louder. It seemed like something was rolling with water flowing from inside, rushing towards the ground, and shouting loudly. Realizing that the situation was not good, Cha Wenbin hastily shouted to Chaozi who was about to go down: "Don't go down, hurry up and get me up!"
Chaozi heard his shout, the crack on top was only about 70-80 meters away from the ground, and he was almost at the bottom. He pretended not to hear it, knowing that every warning from Zha Wenbin meant danger. Having missed once already, Chaozi didn't want to miss a second time. Being able to face danger together with Zha Wenbin was his only way to make up for the last regret. He accelerated his descent and landed in the blink of an eye, running towards Zha Wenbin's light.
Chaozi ran while shouting: "Wenbin brother, I can finally see you!" He only saw Cha Wenbin waving his hand at him from a distance, thinking he was greeting him, and couldn't help but quicken his pace.
Cha Wenbin looked at the young man, then at the steps in front of him. The rumbling sound grew louder and louder. When Cha was only five meters away from the young man, a loud "boom" sounded, and a burst of clear water shot out. Not just that, a sleek white wooden boat emerged from the water, shooting up into the air, sliding straight forward, flying towards where Cha Wenbin stood.
"Clang!" With a loud noise, the two bronze pillars finally stopped rotating, and the white wooden boat also lost its momentum, suddenly stopping just less than one centimeter away from the giant crimson stone, right in front of Cha Wenbin.
If Wàng Yuè was here now, he would definitely be scared to death. This thing is recognizable and has suffered enough hardships. It's true that they saw the "Snowflake" boat in the river channel on the right, and the top sail was still open like this, not closed.
Cha Wenbin stood tall, so he could see clearly without having to walk closer like the others. At this moment, he had already caught sight of it - the face was exactly the same as the one he saw in his dreams, a person wearing a golden mask lying among them!
This time, however, it was different from what Mutsuki and the others had seen before. There was something more on the boat. What was it? A sail! But it wasn't a sail, because no one would make a sail for a boat like that.
The sail is all white, like silk, and cut into a long strip about 50 cm in diameter and 1.5 meters long, with a triangular black cloth head at the top, five-fingered black tassels at the bottom, serrated black tassels on the middle lower edge, and white fringes hanging from the bottom. There are several symbols painted on the sail body, which are texts that he recognizes, exactly what he saw in the General Temple, also seen on the bronze coffin, they all belong to the same kind.
Not only does he recognize the origin of this character, but he also recognizes the origin of this sail! It's better to say it's a "banner" than a sail! He has many of these things in his own pocket, they're just much smaller, used for summoning spirits and ghosts, also called "soul-summoning banners"! If it's not for escorting the dead, absolutely no one would use such a large banner shape. This wooden boat suddenly appearing with a "soul-summoning banner" erected on it will definitely not be a good thing!
Even the three-legged toad, which had been hanging high and unaffected by the matter, was now quite uneasy, constantly croaking "guah, guah" in its mouth. It was clear that it knew the ferocity of this thing. Zha Wenbin was about to touch its nose, trying to calm it down.
A huge black shadow slowly rose behind the wooden boat, a pair of copper bell-sized eyes staring at Zha Wenbin. Chaozi was stunned by this scene in front of him, what on earth was Wenbin doing down there, how could such a thing be made out of it, he didn't recognize the wooden boat, but that black shadow Chaozi would never forget, it was the python that chased after the three-legged toad. The python's corpse was seen with his own eyes, unexpectedly met again here, really isn't it true that enemies don't gather together!
The viper had already taken on an attacking posture, its upper body completely arched into an "S" shape, and its large mouth was slightly open as it continuously spat out snake gall. As soon as Cha Wenbin saw the diamond-shaped pattern, he also understood what it was. Before he could even jump off the rock, the viper had already moved, shooting towards him like an arrow - no, it should be said that it flew towards him! The viper leapt into the air and pounced directly at Cha Wenbin!
Just as he was about to reach the entrance, Zha Wenbin had already made preparations for his own death. At this distance, wanting to escape the snake's attack was simply a pipe dream.
Suddenly, the python's head tilted to one side and brushed past Zhang Wenbin's shoulder. He could smell the stench mixed with the sound of the wind. When he realized that the python's target was not himself, he turned around to look, but the three-legged toad was nowhere to be seen.
"Wen Bin, look quickly, over there!" Chaozi shouted loudly.
Zha Wenbin followed Chaozi's voice and saw a golden toad facing him at the entrance of the stairs.
A horned viper struck out at the air, its body swiftly turning around, and then it rushed towards a three-legged toad with a loud hiss, causing the sand and stones on the ground to make a rustling sound.
"Brother, be careful, run quickly!" Zhang Wenbin shouted loudly. "Gulu!" This was the last response from the three-legged toad, which suddenly jumped into the dark entrance below the steps, followed by a "plop" sound, as if it had entered water. The snake behind also chased after it, leaving only the two brothers and the snow-berthed boat with the "soul-summoning flag" remaining in their original position...
