"Now, maybe only when the last stone is put together can we know what the ultimate secret of the holy stone is!" Xianmu said.
After Karon and Mevati saw the collection of three holy stones, they were greatly shocked by the wonderful reaction, and became even more fascinated by the fourth holy stone.
The prophet immediately began preparing for the sacred ritual of prediction.
She first washed herself clean with the pool of water falling from the top of the dome. Then, several Hopi girls who looked very similar to fairy trees picked some gray fruits. The prophet elder put the fruits into a After it was crushed in a clay pot and the shell was broken, there were actually many tiny squirming insects inside! The prophet held up a handful of bugs with both hands, and then covered them all in his eyes! As soon as those bugs came into contact with the prophet's eyeballs, they greedily ate away at the layer of white frost covering the prophet's eyes as if they had found food! After the white frost was eaten up, the bugs seemed to be poisoned. They became stiff and motionless and then fell to the ground and turned into dust.
Our attention was all on the Prophet's side, and we didn't notice that Xianmu and the others also washed themselves at some point, and then put on clean clothes, with feather-decorated headdresses on their heads, and animal bones on their necks. necklace.
They dressed up and walked to the side of the prophet, sat down cross-legged, and began to sing the song that summoned the earth element.
A green seedling broke out of the ground, and then grew into a vine. This vine was slightly different from the one they summoned from the underground river before. It looked like a mini tree, with only one trunk, straight and thick. , the leaves above were small and lush, and soon a tree of flowers bloomed on the branches, dotted with stars. After the flowers fell, small fruits were attached to the branches. The fairy tree carefully accepted the fruits one by one. Small fruits, heap them before the prophet.
After the fruit is picked from the mini tree, the leaves quickly wither, and then the trunk rots and is buried in the soil again.
At this time, the prophet's eyes have turned blood red! She grabbed those small fruits and threw them heavily to the ground. The moment they touched the ground, the fruits exploded with sparks like firecrackers! This news really shocked people! Although it was deep in the crypt, even if a fire broke out, it would not be extinguished quickly, and there was nothing burning around. However, Haliya's conditioned reflex almost put out the fire with a water arrow. !
Under the reflection of the flames, the prophet's eyes seemed to be burning, as if he had read a message from the flames——
"You go to Camlido. When you get there, the name of the person they admire most from the largest number of people will be named. That person is the successor of the Guardian of Water."
The prophet spoke these words impassionedly, and then the flames went out, and her eyes returned to their previous look as if they had an eye disease.
"Karimdor? This seems to be on the African continent?" My only remaining geographical knowledge told me that this place called Kalimdor is across the vast ocean from where we are now!
"Why have I never heard of this place?" Mewati said.
"I... seem to have heard of such a place." Caron frowned and said, "It was on the recent broadcast! That's right!" Caron seemed to have thought of it, and his expression relaxed a lot, "Caron Rimdo seems to be in a civil war right now! It’s almost divided now! Are we...really going there to find the whereabouts of the water stone?"
What Cuaron said makes sense. Nowadays, there is no peace anywhere. We have to go to places where wars are taking place. I am afraid that there will be more Rourda people who have infiltrated and participated early. Going there, it is very likely that the sheep will fall into the tiger's mouth. Deliver it to your door yourself.
"But now that there are only three holy stones missing, this is the last one. Do we have to give up at this last step?" Xianmu said as he saw Caron thinking about retreating, and immediately stood up resolutely.
"Xianmu is right, we just have to take this last step, otherwise everything we have done before will be in vain. If we don't even have this courage, how can we fight against those Rurda people? How can we save those of you who have been imprisoned? Where are the compatriots imprisoned in the undersea base?"
Sure enough, when talking about the undersea base, Caron looked a little unnatural. Unlike Mewati, he really wanted to save those who were in the undersea base.
A fellow countryman, he has his own little calculation.
"Oh well."
In the end, Caron nodded and agreed, so we started to collect some useful plants and herbs in the Hobi tribe. Xianmu and the others also replenished their quivers.
After all the arrangements were made, a group of us said goodbye to the crypt of the Guardian of Earth. After Xianmu exchanged some words with the elder, he led his three men to the front of the team to lead us.
"After this farewell, I don't know when I will come back next time." Xianmu looked back from time to time at the place where he had lived since childhood, with a hint of reluctance under the tenacious determination in his eyes.
The three Hobbits accompanying them showed great expectations and were very energetic and active along the way. At their age, novel adventures are what they are most interested in, but homesickness is exclusive to middle-aged and elderly people. human emotions.
This time, Xianmu did not lead everyone back the same way. After all, the way they went down the mountain last time still left everyone with lingering fears after coming all the way.
The road under our feet gradually became soft and muddy, and we were getting closer and closer to the lake. When passing by the lake, everyone was amazed by the rippling blue lake surface and clear water. The plants on the bottom of the lake on the shore were clearly visible.
"I was so frightened by the cliff when I came here that I forgot to take a good look at the lake." Curious, Li Shi approached the lake and saw her own shadow. She even arranged her hair in front of the water mirror.
"Be careful, the lake is slippery and the water is freezing cold. You will suffer if you fall." The Hobbit behind reminded him.
Li Shi didn't seem to take it seriously, maybe because as an alien, she wasn't that sensitive to this kind of sensory stimulation.
Xianmu took us further along the lake and finally stopped in front of a small cave.
"Aren't we going to climb up from the canyon? It seems there is no way up the mountain here." Mewati looked around carefully. There were no steps or rope tools as she imagined, only the dark hole in front of her.
I heard the faint sound of water coming from inside, so I penetrated my consciousness deep into this small cave. Only then did I understand the intention of the fairy tree, and I also marveled at the magic of nature. It was actually deep in this canyon, among the living water. , opened up a thoroughfare.
"Our lineage is here, and it is not easy to get out of this deep mountain canyon, so our ancestors found a way out here. We can use this road to get out of this canyon directly, and then we can find transportation." After saying that, Xianmu was the first to duck into the cave.
Mevati looked at the gloomy entrance of the cave and hesitated. The Hobbit behind her urged, "Don't worry, we have walked through this place many times. It was originally a secret we strictly guarded. If time were not pressed, the fairy tree would also be gone." I won’t let you know about this secret passage.”
"If you don't go in, I will!" Li Shi pulled Mewati away and entered the hole sideways.
"Who said I won't go in?!" Mewati also turned around and walked in.
The rest of the people followed in one by one, but found that there was a cave inside. Unexpectedly, the entrance of the cave is narrow, but there is a cave inside. The cave is as tall as two people, and the interior has been artificially repaired to be extremely smooth. An underground river flows quietly and three wooden boats are docked on the bank of the river.
When everyone saw the underground river and the boat, they finally understood the purpose of the fairy tree, so they commandeered two boats, with the fairy tree in front and Kalon in the back. After the boat was launched, it began to go down the underground river. OK. .c
"It turns out that the downstream of this lake is actually an underground river. I was wondering where this stagnant water flowed, but now it seems that I am ignorant." Caron laughed at himself.
"You have lived at the seaside for a long time, so naturally you don't know such strange things, just like we don't know the types of fish in the sea." Xianmu held a long wooden stick at the front to keep the direction of the boat, and Caron It is copying the movements of Xianmu's hand.
As the gradient of the undercurrent increased, the two ships driven by the current began to move quickly. Xianmu was not in a hurry, and the wooden stick in his hand danced left and right, firmly controlling the hull. Caron at the back didn't feel so good. Although he had also been dealing with ships since he was a child, sailing on the sea was not as good as being here.
Traveling through such a winding path is completely different. Although Caron has been paying attention to the movements of the fairy trees, the rapid speed of the ship has made it difficult for him to move between the left and right. Several times, the bow of the ship almost hit the stone wall.
"Hariya, protect the ship." I sent a message to Hariya. In order to avoid the tragedy of the ship being destroyed and killing people, letting it take action is the safest way.
"No problem, come Yuanchu people, do you need me to help them speed up?" Hariya had another chance to play in the water, so he wanted to show off, but these two boats didn't look like they could withstand the torment. .
"Just go down the river!"
Sure enough, with the escort of Hariya, the boat no longer bumped like a dustpan, and everyone changed from screaming in surprise when making a sharp turn to quietly enjoying the scenery in the underground river.
An hour later, we finally saw light in front of us.
"We're here." Xianmu reminded Caron behind him.
Sure enough, following the direction of the light source, the boat rushed into a river, and along the direction of the river was a sizable town. After the Hobbits put the boats away, everyone walked along the river to the town not far away.
I was walking at the end of the team, and Xianmu came over inadvertently and whispered, "When we were in the dark river just now, you used your ability to control water to protect the ship, right?"
I don't
