Um?
So dark and cold.
Where is this place?
Feeling his consciousness gradually sinking into the abyss and then slowly rising up, Xiao Ling suddenly opened his eyes, but it was still dark and he couldn't see anything clearly.
He escaped from the illusion when Han Yuan was born. Is it because he delayed for some time after waking up, so the plot was not coherent?
"Snapped--"
Xiao Ling tentatively moved his steps, making a slight sound of stepping on the stone surface.
Um? This time, it is different from the floating state before, it is "down to earth"!
Xiao Ling touched Hei and waved to his side without touching anything real, so he slowly squatted down again and placed his hands on the ground.
It was indeed stone, very hard, without soil. He had heard it right just now.
It's just that this stone is very cold. When he first touched it, he thought it was ice, but it was not. There is a slight amount of water vapor on the surface, which is not as smooth as the ice surface and is a bit rough. Although it is extremely cold, it does not freeze.
Could it be that this is the "Hantan" that Han Yuan's parents mentioned before?
Xiao Ling had some guesses in his mind, but he still didn't act rashly.
He had accidentally made a noise just now. He was not sure whether there were other "people" besides him in this dark place, and he was not sure whether the mysterious and mysterious "black energy" in this illusion would be like that. It hurt him like last time.
Thinking like this, Xiao Ling simply squatted on the spot, squinting his eyes slightly and slowly getting used to the darkness.
Fortunately, the darkness here is simply the lack of light, and it is not filled with black energy like the last space.
Xiao Ling's night vision ability was already good. After adapting to the darkness here, he was slowly able to see things.
He stood up slowly and looked at it secretly.
This seems to be a large cave, surrounded by stone walls.
Although you can't see clearly, you can vaguely tell that these stones are not piece by piece, but seem to be a huge stone with such a hole dug out in the middle.
Although this idea was somewhat unreasonable, Xiao Ling did not reject it. After all, the whole world could not be reconciled with the "reason" he had previously known.
Xiao Ling squinted his eyes again, lowered his head, and found that not far ahead of him was a pool of water, which must be the "Cold Pool".
No wonder there was a thin layer of water vapor on the stone surface he just touched, and it was very cold and biting.
Han Yuan's mother repeatedly mentioned Han Pool and named Han Yuan after Han Pool. Presumably after he was born, if a strange phenomenon really occurred, he would most likely be left here.
It is so dark here that the water surface cannot reflect light, like a pool of thick ink.
He couldn't see anything, so he still had to get closer.
Thinking about it, Xiao Ling began to move his steps, as gently as possible, and slowly approached the cold pool.
"Da da da--"
Xiao Ling suddenly stopped, and the subtle clicking sound also stopped.
His face darkened and he frowned secretly. Did he hear wrongly?
But what he was wearing now was the soft-soled embroidered cloth shoes that Zhuo Feng had bought before. He was in such a hurry just now that he only had time to fill his stomach and didn't bother to change clothes.
Logically speaking, his steps were already so light, and the soles of the shoes were very soft, so they shouldn't make such an obvious sound.
He secretly looked around him with his peripheral vision. There was nothing there, but he knew in his heart that something was probably causing trouble.
Is it Hanyuan? No, is it Xiaohan? Or something else?
However, since the thing didn't want to show up, he wasn't in a hurry. The steps paused slightly, then continued to lift up, walking forward as if nothing had happened, as if nothing unusual had been discovered.
"Da da da--"
Sure enough, as he moved around, the clicking sound sounded again.
The corners of Xiao Ling's lips curled up slightly. "It" was well disguised, but he didn't know it had been revealed.
His second foot was actually in the air, and he looked like he was walking normally. In fact, his left foot didn't even touch the ground, so he jumped over with his right foot.
Therefore, he actually only landed two feet, but he made three footsteps.
But at this time, Xiao Ling was not in a hurry to expose "it". He wanted to see what "it" wanted to do following him.
One step, two steps...
Xiao Ling slowly approached the cold pool, while the "thing" behind him was still carefully disguising itself, following every step without being exposed.
Finally, the biting chill spread from his feet to his whole body. Xiao Ling stopped and stood at the edge of the cold pool.
Now that he was getting closer, he realized that the area of the pool was not large. In fact, the entire cave was not as big as he originally imagined. It was just too dark, creating an illusion of no boundaries. .
The entire cold pool is only about 100 square meters wide, and it's just pitch black. I don't know how deep it is.
There seems to be a small open space in the middle of the cold pool, and something seems to be placed on it, but I can't really see clearly.
Xiao Ling leaned forward and wanted to take a closer look, but suddenly he felt like something was stuck on his back.
The feeling was actually much colder than the aura emanating from the cold pool water, and it stung the bones under his skin.
Not only was it cold, but it was also wet and damp.
Xiao Ling felt like there were strands of something stuck on the exposed skin of her neck and shoulders, like a water plant, maybe it was hair?
Is it a water ghost? Xiao Ling secretly guessed in his heart.
His body shivered instinctively, and he felt the force on his back increasing, as if it was pushing him underwater. Xiao Ling simply squatted down slowly, adjusted his posture, and waited for the opportunity to move, preparing to push the "water ghost" "Throw it out.
The body gradually lowered, and the oncoming cold air became heavier and heavier.
Behind him was the clammy cold that clung to his body, and on his face was the rising chill from the cold pool. It was really uncomfortable to be attacked from both sides.
Xiao Ling stared at the water that was getting closer and closer in front of her. She turned her eyes slightly and was about to pull the thing off her back, but she felt a drop of water suddenly dripping from the hair sticking to her neck. .
"Tick!"
The water drops fell into the dark cold pool, causing ripples.
But on the originally dark water surface, silhouettes of people slowly appeared.
Xiao Ling was startled, paused slightly, and looked intently at the gradually calming water surface.
The lady's clothes and her long hair pushed back were definitely his reflection.
At this time, lying on his back was like a mass of thick black hair.
As if aware of his gaze, the ball of hair slowly moved and lifted up, revealing a pale face.
It's a child!
"Little——!" Xiao Ling immediately recognized that it was Xiao Han, and was about to call him out, but suddenly felt a huge push from his back, pushing him into the cold pool.
However, Xiao Ling was not someone to be trifled with, so he caught it with his backhand the moment he fell.
"thump!"
