In the valley, you can see endless flowers, as red as fire and as bright as blood. From a distance, they look like a carpet paved with blood, or like the rising flames of hell.
Yuna stared blankly at the beautiful scenery in front of her, an ominous premonition and desperate sadness welling up in her heart.
"The flower of the other shore, according to legend, is the only scenery on the road to hell. When the soul sets foot on the road to hell, it will forget all that happened in life, leaving everything in the past on the other side, blooming into bewitching flowers. But I didn't expect that I would be alive to see it. This legendary beauty!" Mok, standing next to her, sighed with a wry smile.
"Second brother, can you please stop sighing?" Yuna glanced at him resentfully, "You'd better help me think about what to do next!"
Mok glanced at her tenderly and said dotingly: "My sister, why is your mind suddenly confused?"
"I hate these flowers! I would rather face a pile of broken rocks when I come out of the cave!" Yuna pouted.
"Fool, do you believe those lies? Aren't we living well?" Mok reached out and pinched her face gently, smiling casually.
Flowers on the other side grow leaves in summer and bloom only after all the leaves have fallen in autumn. Therefore, there is a saying that "there are no leaves when flowers bloom, and there are no flowers when there are leaves. Flowers and leaves grow from the same root, and they will never see each other." It is regarded by the world as cherishing each other forever. It is a symbol of tragic love that we have lost each other and will never see each other again.
Because of this, this sea of ??flowers made Yuna¡¯s strong confidence in Link shake for the first time.
"I just feel restless and my head is dizzy. I don't want to think about things." Yuna said with a bitter smile.
"I also feel a little uncomfortable, maybe it's because I stayed in that disgusting cave for a long time." Mok said. Although the experience in the cave was terrifying, he had an unexpected gain: now, he no longer faints when he sees blood.
¡°Then shall we continue moving forward, or shall we rest here?¡± Yuna asked.
"I'm afraid I'll have nightmares if I sleep among the flowers on the other side." Mock said while looking around, "The cliffs on three sides of the valley are as smooth as mirrors. We seem to have no other choice but to keep going forward!"
"Okay! Then go forward and find a place with water to wash up! After coming out of the cave, everyone became bloody. Their whole bodies were sticky and they felt terribly uncomfortable." Yuna nodded.
"Third sister, there is something I have always been curious about."
"oh?"
¡°Our Mr. Link, what¡¯s so special about you that attracts you?¡±
"This matter is a bit complicated. I can't explain it to you right now. If you have the chance to see him in the future, just think about it yourself!"
The two of them chatted. Edge walked towards Heideman.
"Boss, I didn't mean to make you climb the tree. Do you deserve to torture me like this?"
Standing on the cave wall. Looking at the bloody intestines, Robin's scalp exploded.
"Nance, Torre, I have taken note of this! What the hell does it mean to be bald? What does doing this disgusting thing have to do with my bald head?" Robin took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to vomit. Go down, I thought bitterly in my heart. Those intestines were moving slowly, constantly squeezing out blood, making his stomach churn.
"Robin, what the hell are you dawdling about?" Link's impatient voice came from behind.
"Don't bite me, bite them!" Robin turned his head and closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand towards the wall, grabbed it hard, and then pulled hard.
"Click"
After a soft sound, Robin quickly turned around and ran away.
"Boss, here I come!"
¡°Look at you, you¡¯re such a bear, you¡¯re worthless!¡± Looking at Robin¡¯s devastated look, Link couldn¡¯t help but laugh and curse.
His eyes fell on the "intestine" that Robin dropped on the ground.
"It's exactly what I thought!"
Pulling out the knife from his waist, Link bent down and gently scraped the "intestine".
After the blood-red liquid was scraped off, a stalactite appeared in everyone's eyes.
"Holy crap, what intestines, it turns out to be a piece of broken stone!" Nansun breathed a sigh of relief and cursed with a smile. When the troops marched here, the cave turned into a passage of flesh and blood, which frightened everyone.
And Link, after observing carefully for a moment, discovered the problem. He decided to take some time to conduct a simple science popularization with the team members to eliminate the negative emotions in their hearts.
"When the cinnabar seeped out, it was mixed with some sticky substances. The stalactite on the cave wall was wrapped in the mixture of the two, forming what you call intestines." He picked up the stalactite on the ground. Stone, raised high,Said in a loud voice.
"But, boss, I don't understand. Since it is a stone, how can it move?" Robin asked confused. He couldn't accept that the thing that scared him to death just now was just a stone.
"It's very simple." Link smiled and said, "Because of the stickiness, the cinnabar in the front falls slowly, and the back keeps seeping out. With such a squeeze, it looks like the thing is squirming."
¡°This cave is so amazing!¡±
¡°It turns out that¡¯s what happened, and we suffered a fright in vain!¡±
"To put it simply, this Death Eye is just a leaky cave, and the water happened to be mixed with some paint!"
Behind him, the team members were talking quietly, and the initial uneasiness suddenly disappeared.
"A coincidence? Maybe not!" The team members felt relieved, but Link's mood became heavier.
The uncanny workmanship of nature has endowed the earth with countless wonders, but this tragic scene like the Shura Hell was the only one he had ever seen in his life. And everything I encountered after entering the cave until now has a strange flavor. First there was bleeding on the cave wall, then there was a rain of blood, followed closely by the disgusting sight before him. Everything seems to be deliberately creating an atmosphere of terror, constantly deepening the fear in people's hearts and affecting the judgment of those who enter the cave.
Link felt vaguely that there seemed to be a mysterious force controlling everything in the cave in the dark.
¡°However, he couldn¡¯t convince himself to trust his own judgment. Who the hell would be so bored that he would go to this inaccessible cave and pretend to be a ghost for years? Say it again. Even if someone deliberately creates such an environment to deceive people, what is his purpose? Is it just to scare those mountain people who accidentally break into the cave?
Thinking about it over and over again, Link still couldn¡¯t figure it out.
"Mom, there must be a road for cars to reach the mountain, and for boats to reach the bridge, it will be straight. I want to see what other tricks are ahead!" He thought to himself.
"Boss, we have walked several hundred meters, and so far we have not found any traces left by the princess. Is the old man at the door lying to us?" Nothing was found along the way. Nance was a little worried.
"Absolutely not." Link shook his head. The mark left by Yuna in a unique way in the woods on the main peak of Love Mountain. It points to the location of the Death Eye.
¡°Then, it should be the cinnabar on the ground that covered up the traces left by their march!¡± Nance pondered.
"Keep moving forward and search carefully. I think we will find something soon!" Link said. Go here. Lanling's army will definitely be in panic. And in their panic, they will definitely leave some clues.
Sure enough, we didn¡¯t go far. The team members walking in front saw some torches and weapons soaked in blood. This discovery was like a person who was groping in the dark. A bright light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. Everyone was greatly encouraged and their emotions suddenly became high.
Because the ground was slippery and the slope was getting steeper, Link, who was full of confidence, simply ordered the team members to fall to the ground and slide to speed up their march.
"Torre, let my people go forward and be your human shields!" Nance smiled proudly at Torre beside him, "Your people are not as experienced as ours!"
"Team 9 is awesome! The leader is too partial!" Torre sighed. The veterans of the ninth unit are all perverts who cannot be killed because they wear precious armor made by the leader himself. This is Shenying's open secret. And their treatment made the other members of the Condor envious to death.
"You think that thing is easy to get? I shed countless layers of skin just to get those dozens of pieces!" Torre once asked Link for this kind of armor, but the latter rejected him with a pained face.
When Link landed on the ground, he smelled a light floral fragrance, like chrysanthemums. Upon closer inspection, there seems to be a hint of sweetness in the floral fragrance, which is extremely pleasant.
The sweet smell seemed familiar, and Link tried hard to search his memory, trying to find its shadow.
"Here I am, the endless red color makes my heart beat with fear!" Robin said with a shocked look on his face as he looked at the scene in front of him.
"It's enough to be frightened! Do you know what flowers these are?" Nance said with a proud smile.
"I don't know. Anyway, I'm not lovable." Robin shook his head.
"This is called the flower of the other side. It usually blooms on the road to hell. It is a symbol of the most evil and evil. Look at this place, does it look like the sea of ??blood in hell with broken limbs, carrion, and bones floating in it? The air exudes a strong smell of corpses and The smell of blood" Nance said sinisterly.
"I'm so hungry." Robin took out a piece of dry food and started chewing it, "Well, why did you stop? Keep talking!"
"You eat first, I'm leaving." Nance glanced at him helplessly, said angrily.
"I'm telling you, my nerves are as thick as a thousand-year-old tree." He muttered in a low voice. In fact, he was also very hungry, but when he came out of the "bloody water" in the cave and saw the blood red, he couldn't swallow anything at all.
"Torre, assemble the troops and count the number of people. Nance, come here!"
Hearing Link¡¯s order, Nance walked quickly to his side.
¡°Boss, what¡¯s the matter?¡±
¡°Veterinarian, do you have any refreshing medicine with you? It¡¯s best to use something with a pungent smell.¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Nance nodded, fumbled around in his backpack and took out a black bottle.
"Boss, what are you doing?" He held the bottle and looked at Link with confusion. According to his experience, the medicine the leader wants is usually used to deal with the miasma in the mountains. It can effectively expel all kinds of hallucinations caused by the brain being disturbed by the outside world. The air here is so fresh and the fragrance of flowers is even more pleasant. What is this medicine for?
"Thank you for being proficient in medicine! Don't you think there's anything weird in this valley?" Link muttered.
"No, this environment is very comfortable!" Nance said blankly.
"Then take a few deep breaths through your nose, smell it carefully, and then tell me how you feel." Link said.
Nance did so. After a moment, his expression became solemn.
"Any reaction?"
"Yes." Nance nodded, "There seems to be a sweet smell in the air. After smelling it, people feel very comfortable and excited, and various distracting thoughts will arise in their hearts."
Although Nance only took a few puffs, he felt excited and suddenly remembered the sexy time he spent in Gost.
"The other shore flower does not have this effect. Give these pills to the brothers and let them stuff them into their nostrils. Then, take a few people to search among the nearby flowers to see if there are other plants." Link ordered.
"I understand, boss!"
"Give me two pills." Link stretched out his hand, "How does your pill work?"
¡°Boss, you¡¯ll know after you try it.¡± Nance said confidently.
Link stuffed the pill into his nostrils, and a strong smell and a maddening stench suddenly came to his head, almost causing him to faint.
"What is it made of?" He frowned.
"It's mainly wolf dung and fox urine, with some other medicinal materials added. Hunters often use this stuff to deal with miasma in the mountains, and it's very effective."
¡°It doesn¡¯t work even if you stuff shit and urine into your nose, that¡¯s fucking unreasonable.¡± Link said with a bitter smile.
After the pills were distributed, Nance quickly led a few people and searched the nearby flowers carefully according to Link's request.
Torre also followed Link¡¯s order and led a team of people to search for traces left by Lanling¡¯s army.
"I hope this is just an accident, otherwise, we will be in big trouble!" Link's eyes turned to the sea of ??flowers in front of him. He felt more and more that they seemed to have fallen into a huge trap by mistake.
The wind blew, and waves of blood surged everywhere, which was extremely charming.
Link could vaguely see that there seemed to be a pair of eyes peeking at him in the sea of ??blood. Those eyes were as deep as the sea, as cold as ice, cruel and unfeeling to the extreme, without a trace of life. (To be continued.)
