The Card Maker of Time Travel

Compared with Gu Chen and Murong Zhuoqi who are getting more and more in tune, Tianling and Zeng Jiang are extremely awkward.

Zeng Jiang's mind kept replaying the last scene before waking up from the dream. Tianling turned his back to him, hugged a white figure, and said affectionately, "I love you. I will only love you in this life. ,nobody else."

Zeng Jiang felt a little uncomfortable, although he always knew that Tianling was mostly teasing him, and he never took Tianling's seemingly true and false confession seriously.

But he really went to face the truth. When he saw that Tianling was not joking, but confessed to another person in a very sincere tone, Zeng Jiang still felt extremely uncomfortable, and that inexplicable emotion has been shrouded In his heart, he himself felt that it was childish and ridiculous not to say a word, but he just couldn't break through this knot.

And Tianling was equally uncomfortable.He didn't know why he had such a dream. It must have been many years. That person never had a dream. He didn't doubt that his love for Mu Li, especially those who had died, would often become the brightest moonlight in his heart. wonderful existence.But he didn't know why Zeng Jiang appeared at the end of the dream.

For Zeng Jiang, Tianling didn't know how to describe his feelings.For this child, Tianling undoubtedly appreciates him. Tianling likes his stubborn appearance and aura-filled eyes.He may have been teasing at first, but in the process, he dared not say that his feelings had not deteriorated.But the appearance of Mu Li in the dream made him realize that the person he has always liked is Mu Li after all, and the one he has never forgotten is also Mu Li.But when Zeng Jiang looked at him with sad eyes in surprise at the end of the dream, he had to admit that he was contradictory and heartbroken.

So after waking up from the dream, both of them were silent all the way.

The inside of the cave is still like before waking up from a dream, no matter how you walk, you will eventually circle back to the original place.

Zeng Jiang finally broke the silence. "It's not an option for us to stand still like this. We should find a way to get out of this situation."

Tianling nodded, thought for a while, and took out a long stick from his bag.

"Is this a stone detector?" Zeng Jiang asked.

Tianling nodded.

"Is this thing still usable in the secret realm?" Zeng Jiang was curious.

"No." Tian Ling also answered very simply.

"...Then why are you picking it up?" Zeng Jiang was amused at how confident he was.

Tian Ling spread his hands: "Although it can't function as a detector, it's still good to use as a wooden stick."

Zeng Jiang was speechless.

Tian Ling tapped on the stone wall with the detector and moved forward slowly, while Zeng Jiang stared at his back and followed step by step.After walking a certain distance, Tianling stopped and tapped on the nearby stone wall with the detector.

Zeng Jiang was a little curious. There was nothing unusual about the stone wall Tianling knocked on. He looked at Tianling, trying to see something.

"The softness and hardness of this place is different from other places." Tian Ling said.

Zeng Jiang directly stepped forward and touched the stone wall with his hands. He was surprised to find that the stone wall was not hard, but a little soft, and the skin was even a little sticky.

"This is?" Zeng Jiang was not as experienced as Tianling, so he looked at Tianling curiously.

Tianling also touched it with his hand for a while, and took out a piece of barbaric yak from the storage bracelet.After summoning the savage yak, Tianling asked the savage yak to attack the different stone wall with a dash.

The strange stone wall here suddenly began to deform after several consecutive impacts, and gradually collapsed like a lump of soft mud, exposing the passage behind.A piece of stone wall that had collapsed began to squirm, crawling on the floor little by little, like some kind of mollusk.The stone wall finally climbed up the wall near the passage where the two of them were going to walk forward, and slowly covered the entire passage.

Zeng Jiang suddenly felt a little horrified. After so many years of experience, he has never seen such a strange unknown creature.

Tian Ling looked at him in a daze, patted him on the back and comforted him: "It's okay, this kind of secret realm is often a creature tens of thousands of interstellar years ago, some creatures that have never seen it are normal, this kind of creature It looks harmless, so don't worry too much."

Zeng Jiang nodded. Although this kind of creature is strange, it doesn't seem to be very lethal except for creating mazes.

"Why are there such strange creatures and mazes here? Is it natural or man-made?" Zeng Jiang was puzzled by the appearance of more and more such creatures as he walked.

Tian Ling tapped on the wall while recording, "The formation of this cave should be a gift of nature, but the creatures inside should be intentionally made by someone. I think there should be something hidden in this cave."

Zeng Jiang still agrees with this statement. Although it is his first time entering the secret realm, he has read many related books before, which often mention that encountering such strange phenomena is often the place where secret treasures are discovered.

The two walked for a long time, and several times they went back to a certain place they passed by. Fortunately, Tianling's senses and records were very accurate, and he was often able to continue to find the next way forward after getting lost.

When Zeng Jiang felt that the cave was endless, the originally dark wall painting changed into a transparent white, and the crystal clear color was particularly eye-catching.

In addition to the crystal clear walls, the entire terrain has also opened up.Zeng Jiang looked at the place that opened up like a huge hall in front of him, and stopped a little uneasy.

Tianling was much calmer, looking at everything in front of him, still holding the probing stick, and slowly moved forward.

The hall is open, only a vermilion box is placed in the center, and a golden unknown totem is engraved on the side of the box.

The two walked to the side of the box and looked at each other for a moment.

"Is this a trap?" Zeng Jiang asked.It is really suspicious that such a box clearly says that I am the treasure, come and open me.

Tianling walked around the box, and directly reached out to open the lock on it, which was not difficult to open.

The box was opened, and there was no trap. There was a small branch in the box. The branch was so fresh that it looked like it had just been picked.

Zeng Jiang was a little curious about what kind of treasure it would be so carefully placed. "Is this part of a precious xenograft?"

Tianling picked up the branch, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then smiled. "Maybe this is a branch of the legendary tree of life?"

"The tree of life?" Zeng Jiang had also heard of this name. "Is it the legendary mother tree that breeds all things? It is said that just a branch can live forever?"

Tianling chuckled and shook his head. "Although I don't know where you heard this statement, but this branch is indeed not for this purpose."

As Tianling spoke, he looked at the branch for a moment, and then slowly poured his spiritual power into the top of the branch.

The branch quickly absorbed the mental power, and then began to grow slowly. When it became almost the size of a probe stick, Tianling stood him on the ground.

The branches standing on the ground continued to grow, and gradually turned into a tree trunk that required six or seven people to embrace.

"This is?" Zeng Jiang looked at the huge tree trunk in surprise.

Tian Ling took his hand and walked in through a huge tree hole-like door under the tree trunk.

Zeng Jiang entered the inside of the tree trunk, only to find that there is a cave inside. It looks like a slightly large tree trunk from the outside, but the inside is [-] to [-] square meters in size.In addition to the larger space, there are many exquisite furniture placed in the trunk.

"There's a second floor?" Zeng Jiang looked at the stairs in the corner with some surprise.

"Probably more than that," Tian Ling said.The two continued to go up and walked about six or seven floors before reaching the top.The space on the top floor is slightly smaller, about forty square meters, and there is a huge wooden bed.Zeng Jiang looked up and found that dense leaves had grown on the bare top, covering the top like a natural ceiling.

Zeng Jiang looked out the window and found that it was about 30 meters away from the ground. "What the hell is this?"

"This should be the legendary tree house of life. It is made of a small branch of the tree of life. After feeding, it will become a tree house, including the furniture you see inside. They are all made of feeding, not Man-made, of course you can also bring your own things in. The number of layers of the tree house will continue to increase with the support. According to legend, it can reach [-] layers and reach the sky. When it is not in use, it will become a small branch , when you want to use it, you only need a little mental power and it will turn into a tree house." Tian Ling explained.

The two walked down from the tree house.

Not long after leaving the tree house, the tree house gradually shrank and turned into a small branch at the beginning.Zeng Jiang held a small branch and was very surprised.Although space storage technology has become more and more mature, many people basically have storage jewelry, but so far I have never heard of a storage space that can be used by fresh life.Now the breakthrough of science and technology has created a pet space, which is a space for some raised alien animals to live in, but one is expensive, and the other is that when the alien animals are in it, they are not in a normal state, but in a state similar to hibernation. form.

Looking at the other party's dazed look, Tian Ling pulled out a red rope from the storage space, took a branch, tied a few knots, and hung it around Zeng Jiang's neck.

Zeng Jiang stared at him blankly.

Tianling explained: "This kind of branch can't be put in the storage space. If you don't believe me, you can try it. You can only carry it with you."

Zeng Jiang took the branch off his neck: "No, I think it's better for you to put this thing away."

Tianling glanced at him: "Do you think I need this kind of thing? Although this kind of thing is precious, it is of no practical use to me. What I have is high-end outdoor living equipment. If it is not too exaggerated, I will take it with you." There is no problem with only the spaceship, do you think I need this thing?"

Zeng Jiang didn't know what to say, this thing is indeed wonderful, and Zeng Jiang seems to have something better to replace it, but after all, the two of them discovered it, so it doesn't make sense if he monopolizes it all by himself.

"Okay, don't shirk, I think this place is so exquisitely set up, there is definitely not only such a baby." After Tian Ling finished speaking, he continued to tap on the transparent wall next to him with his detection stick.

Zeng Jiang obviously didn't think that this treasure is not the only one here. The environment next to it sets off this box, and it is obvious that this box is the most precious here.

"Placing this box in such an eye-catching position is actually a way to deceive the eyes. If ordinary people come, they will naturally feel that they have taken the treasure and return home satisfied, and they will not go to find out if there are other things." Tian Ling said as he spoke. Continue to hit the wall with the detector.

Zeng Jiang watched it busy, but his eyes finally stayed on the box in the middle.The box was empty, and after the branches of the tree of life were taken away, only the beautiful brocade was left in the box.Zeng Jiang thought of something, walked to the box, and picked up the precision forging that was spread on the bottom.

The bottom of the box was exposed, and it was a wooden board painted with the same totem as the outside of the box.Zeng Jiang observed it and found that there was a small handle that was hidden and not easy to find on the part of the totem.

Zeng Jiang tried to hold the handle and pulled it up, and the whole board began to lift slowly.Suddenly there was a loud noise around, and pieces of transparent stones began to fall from the originally transparent wall.

"This cave is about to collapse." Tian Ling shouted.

Zeng Jiang looked at the mountain road already covered with fallen rocks: "This may be the only exit." Zeng Jiang looked at the hole exposed under the plank.

Tianling walked up to him, glanced at the bottomless hole, picked up a falling rock and threw it down.There was no echo, and I don't know if it was because the surrounding noises were too confusing, or the cave was really bottomless.

"I'll go down first. If it's safe, I'll send you a signal. If there's no response, you can see if there is another way to escape." Tianling said, jumping forward.

Before Zeng Jiang could stop him, he saw a figure of the other party flashing past.

Zeng Jiang stared blankly at the entrance of the cave, not knowing if this was the way to escape or the way to death.
