Ancient Sword II: The Tracking of the Fierce Mountain

Chapter [-]: Snake Road

The jade in the shape of animal bones is white all over, so pure that there is no trace of impurities.At first glance, you will suspect that there is water flowing in it, and there is light flowing in it.

Is it this kind of jade that blocks the breath of living people and makes those giant snakes extremely vigilant?

Before Shen Ye and Xie Yi said anything, the next moment, the sound of cracking rocks attracted their attention again.

When they looked back, they saw that the bodies of those petrified giant snakes had cracked countless fine cracks, and countless stones were scattered like quicksand.

As the fine stones fell, the cracks expanded and gradually connected, accelerating the speed of collapse.After a while, the giant snake's original vigorous body looked like a jellyfish that had been evaporated dry, or in other words, the weathered ancient building turned into dust and blended into the soil under its feet.

It stands to reason that the white dust is incompatible with the dark brown soil, but looking at the feet, it is still dark brown except for dark brown.Those whites were quickly dyed black, the process was so fast that even Shen Ye and Xie Yi couldn't catch it.

And what about the part near the snake road?But one thing survived—a curved snake bone as white as nothing.

There were a few dead silver snakes, and there were a few more erect snake bones here.

In just a split second, Shen Ye and Xie Yi understood how the snake path under their feet came about.

Looking behind, the bright white snake road rises and falls one after another according to the terrain. How many such giants are composed of the countless snake bones at a glance?

A silver snake only forms a snake bone. Is it determined by the location where they landed, or these huge monsters that look to the naked eye are actually just such a small piece of jade?

Shen Ye and Xie Yi didn't think deeply, at this moment, it was enough for Snake Dao to guarantee their safety.

The two put away their weapons. As for the clothes, because they were specially made, the snake blood stained with them was shaken off after a few slaps.

Reaching out to wipe off the few drops of snake blood on Xie Yi's face, Shen Ye said, "Let's go."

"Yes."

The spine of the snake path is enough for two people to walk side by side, and walking on it is very stable.

Sometimes Xie Yi couldn't help but look at the brown soil covering the entire flat, which was soft and had a faint metallic taste.

How they came about is equally clear.

However, even if Xie Yi and Shen Ye stepped on the corpses, their faces would not change color, let alone these snake corpses that had already turned into dust.

The zigzagging snake path under the feet sometimes gets close to the "Yellow River", and sometimes after passing through those slightly high mounds, it will come to the vicinity of the "Yangtze River".The movement of the entire corridor is chaotic, and there is a feeling of excitement.Especially when the looping snake paths intersect with each other and repeatedly walk the same distance back and forth.

Although the snake bones are thick, they are arranged very tightly, not enough for two people to go directly to the opposite snake path.What's more, if you go out of the snake way, it will be troublesome to attract the coveted snakes.What the two of them didn't expect was that in the end, the snake road could be said to circle back and forth in the same place non-stop. There was originally only one road, but it was also forked by several intersections.

Shen Ye and Xie Yi were not in a hurry, they didn't care about how the dead silver snake could form such a fork in the road.

What's more, as long as their lover is by their side, they can take everything calmly.

Since the snake bone looks crystal clear, but its texture is unexpectedly hard, the two of them marked the stones near the spine - the next road will inevitably have repetitions.

As expected, or unexpectedly, once or twice... Xie Yi and Shen Ye kept trying to take a new path, but they returned to the same crossroad every time.

Xie Yi looked at a scratch carved on the rock: "It's the seventh time."

Shen Ye glanced at the mark: "Yes."

Looking at the intricate intersections ahead, Xie Yi smiled and said, "Is this a maze?" in a rather helpless tone.

Shen Ye hooked her lips and smiled: "Maybe."

Not much to say, the two walked forward again.

This time, the mark finally disappeared, but they discovered that the first scratch was indeed gone, but the second mark they had made before appeared before them.

In order to identify them before, they marked every intersection they encountered: the first intersection is a scratch, the second is a second road, and so on.

When Xie Yi and Shen Ye managed to get rid of the first repeated mark, the second scratch reappeared with great interest, as if competing for favor.

Once, twice... still every time you go in a new direction, you will return to this mark.Xie Yi was extremely helpless, no matter how good-tempered he was, he probably wouldn't be able to bear this going on, right?

And the fact is indeed the case, after the second mark appears repeatedly, it is the third mark and the fourth mark.

It was only later that Xie Yi and Shen Ye did not become anxious, but became more cautious.

why?Just because those marks disappeared after appearing seven times, and the next one was the next seven times.

Clearly, this was what the maze itself was trying to tell them.

The two walked for an unknown amount of time, and even if their bodies were not tired, the burnout in their hearts was hard to ignore.In the end, Shen Ye simply took Xie Yi's shoulders and walked together.Every time he advanced a certain distance, Shen Ye would bury himself in Xie Yi's neck and take a deep breath, and continue walking after he was satisfied.

Regarding Shen Ye's almost "hooligan" behavior, Xie Yi was neither struggling nor obedient, blushing and feeling that A Ye was really... what should I say about him.

But seeing Shen Ye's brows loosen and his anger disappearing, Xie Yi finally chose to obey.

The recurring marks changed unknowingly. When they passed the last mark, both Shen Ye and Xie Yi stopped.

If it is correct, this is the last mark, but it is also the eighth time that it reappears besides the seventh time.

Xie Yi looked at Shen Ye, continue walking?

Shen Ye thought for a while, then nodded slightly, and he would only know when he walked down.

And this change in the number of times the mark appears is indeed a clue to unlock the maze.

Passing through this last mark and walking on a path that has not been tried before, what Shen Ye and Xie Yi saw in front of them was finally the snake path with one and only one.

The two looked behind them, and saw intricate snake bones standing like a jungle, so dense that they could barely see the road.

And ahead, the goal is clear.

"Finally out."

"……yes."

Xie Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and as soon as the smile reached his eyes, he felt Shen Ye pressing harder on his shoulders, and the next moment before he could react, Shen Ye's lips had already pressed up.

Faced with Shen Ye's sudden kiss, Xie Yi's eyes widened in surprise, but after that, he closed his eyes and responded proactively—for A Ye, he would never be able to resist, let alone make him angry.

The two kissed heartily amid the noisy waves around them, ignoring the endless bleakness and darkness, and only had each other in their eyes and hearts.

Fortunately, Shen Ye has always been more rational. After wantonly plundering Xie Yi's lips, he finally let the other party breathe a sigh of relief.Kissing Xie Yi's cheek, Shen Ye said lightly: "Let's continue walking."

Apart from nodding, Xie Yi only blushed.

Afterwards, the journey became much simpler. I don't know if it entered the area of ​​the simulated plain. The snake road also changed from the previous twists and turns to a straight road.At the farthest point, near the end of the snake path, a dark hole finally appeared.

Yes, the hole, the square hole, is a vertical tunnel dug in the plane.

The damp and cold air burst out from the hole, bringing a breath different from the wind in this dry tomb.After all, mercury is not real water, and the air is very dry in places full of mercury.

Shen Ye and Xie Yi looked at each other.

Do you want to go down?

The author has something to say: Mou Tian wants to say: This is the real show of affection! (*/ω＼*)

But no one is watching, so this is the truth!
