"What’s wrong with you?
The first one to notice something was wrong with me was the fire monkey. He grabbed my shoulder and shook it vigorously. That's when I came back to my senses.

But for a while, I still felt a little dazed.

There was even an urge to escape from here in my heart, and I couldn't help feeling that my every move seemed to be under some kind of surveillance.

The feeling is chilling down the spine and uncomfortable.

"Are you okay?"

Fire Monkey asked with concern.

"it's okay no problem……"

I took a few breaths to feel more comfortable, and smiled helplessly.

It was just a dream!
I kept telling myself in my heart that the dream was just a dream, what if it was just some kind of wonderful coincidence?

And even if the dream is true, the palace in the dream is on the top of the mountain.

And we are now inside the mountain.

Catherine stepped forward and looked directly into my eyes with her pupils that had turned red somehow.

"Did you find something?"

she asked a little eagerly.

"No."

Of course it is impossible for me to tell her everything I know, so I shook my head decisively.

"you are lying."

Catherine said with certainty, "If you find out the secret here, you don't have to hide it, because we have no way out, we are grasshoppers tied to a rope, and if you don't tell it, then you just have to hide it." It's a waste of time to stay here with us."

"Of course, time is something I can afford. After all, I'm not a human being. The energy in my body is enough to support me to run for a hundred years at low consumption."

"The question is, can you afford it?"

Everything Catherine said touched my heart.

She was right, my time is very tight, if I can finish these things quickly, I wish I could fly back to Xiao Qing's side with wings.

I didn't speak, but walked directly in front of the stone statue in silence.

In that dream, the three incense sticks were lit, and Yucheng Yao knelt devoutly in front of the stone statue.

If you can achieve exactly the same situation as in the dream... maybe something different will happen.

"Borrow a fire."

I turned and looked at Catherine.

She nodded and tossed me a lighter.

"Be careful when using it, this thing will explode."

I frowned, lit three half-burned incense sticks, and inserted them back into the incense burner.

Pushing back two steps, she knelt down slowly according to the kneeling position of Yucheng Yao in her memory.

The moment my knees touched the ground, I suddenly felt that the floor tiles under my knees were slightly dented.

Have an agency?
My intuition told me that I must have touched something.

"No response?"

Catherine's voice came from behind.

But I ignored her and looked up at the stone statue.

If my steps are correct, as in my dream, I will turn into a little bit of starlight and disappear here...

I couldn't help but look down at my hands, and then touched my face.

and nothing happens.

So I turned my head and sighed.

Seeing me like this, needless to say, Catherine and the others know what's going on.

"Damn!"

Catherine was a little out of breath, but it didn't help.

Then we fell into a deathly silence.

This is the end, and the way back is blocked. If there is no accident, we should not be able to get out.

In the huge palace, only the walking figure of the fire monkey was left at this time.

He meticulously knocked on every brick on the wall, trying to find the bleakness for us to go out.

However, his actions earned Catherine a merciless ridicule.

"I've scanned it a long time ago. Every brick here is tightly pasted. It's fantastic that you want to find other exits from here."

"What do you know about a broken machine?"

The fire monkey glared at her unwillingly, and then continued to do his own thing.

And now I have given up on the legendary fountain of primordial origin, and I am only thinking of ways to get out of here.

"How about, let's work together to remove the gravel blocking the passage, so there should still be a chance to get out."

Although the method is stupid, I think it should be very effective.

But it couldn't stand the cold water poured by Catherine.

"That's a mountain collapse. Even if we double the number of people, it's almost impossible to complete it. You'd better stay here and wait for death. At least, your friends will die with you."

I don't believe her, but I don't want to stay here and die either.

But I can't find a suitable method if I break my head.

Could it be... is this really the end?

For a moment, I suddenly felt that this was a good thing that God arranged for me in the dark, and it was a kind of relief, but when I thought of so many people I missed and cared about, the desire to survive would be ignited in my heart.

Tangled thoughts constantly arise in the heart.

Anxious and painful at the same time, helpless.

After an unknown amount of time, Catherine suddenly stood up, and she turned to look outside the palace, frowning.

"someone is coming!"

anyone?

Not only me, but even the fire monkey who had been concentrating on finding other exits stopped what he was doing and asked, "Isn't the only way out already blocked? How could someone come in?"

"I just told you the truth, but I didn't convince you."

Catherine chuckled.

Is it the people from the island country...

I looked outside the palace and at the dark passage at the other end of the square, feeling a little uneasy in my heart.

Is it Yucheng Yao?

Or those from the island nation?
How did Catherine know someone was coming?

Many doubts arose in my mind. I believe that the fire monkey also had the same doubts as me, but these are not important anymore. When those people in the passage come out, everything will be clear.

Rumble!
But when all our eyes were focused on the passage, the statue behind us began to sink slowly.

"what happened?"

The fire monkey was slightly taken aback.

"I don't know."

I was also a little surprised that, although I was sure I touched something, nothing happened.

But now, the statue actually started to move...

what happened?

When all the statues sank, an upward staircase appeared, and it was not known where it would lead.

You can see a faint light inside.

I desperately want to go in and see what's going on, but at the same time I'm thinking about the passage at the other end of the square, wondering who passed the blocked road and is heading here.

But when Catherine walked up the ladder first, I knew I had to make a choice.

The fire monkey and I looked at each other, knowing it clearly.

No matter what, we have to go in first!
