I'm trapped in a cube

After licking the mouth of the bottle, Old Xu exclaimed, "It's so delicious!"

He looked at Li and Luo behind him, raised the bottle, and asked, "Do you want to taste a little?"

They were so frightened that they took a few steps back and waved their hands repeatedly.

Seeing this scene, Lao Xu burst out laughing.

"This thing tastes really good. Although the toad looks ugly, the mucus is extremely delicious. A bottle like this can be exchanged for a relatively inferior relic in Oasis City."

Looking at the bottle filled with thick mucus in his hand, Old Xu felt like he had found a treasure.

"Isn't that really poisonous?" Mo Ling thought of the extremely ugly toad, and the small dots on it still made her feel sick when she thought about it.

"No need, you can keep it for yourself." Li Xiangyi smiled bitterly and refused Lao Xu's invitation.

Seeing that both of them had expressions of resistance, Lao Xu sighed and explained: "We generally call the toad just now a honey toad, because the mucus on its body is as sweet as honey."

"Not only that, the swollen skin has a gelatinous jelly texture. After you bite it, sweet juice will burst out. It tastes like lychee water and has a unique fragrance."

"When I get back to Dawn City, I'll add some to the scented tea. You guys can try it. It must be good."

Lao Xu still didn't seem to want to give up and let the two of them try it.

After carefully filling the bottle, he led the two of them forward.

After crossing the puddle, Lao Xu stood in front of a downward tributary. The water flow here had become very thin and the waterway was somewhat dry.

"This tributary is the least dangerous, and there are no violent fluctuations. Just keep walking."

After walking out of the puddle, Lao Xu was obviously more relaxed, and the mucus just seemed to relieve his nervousness a lot.

This is a spiral downward tributary. It does not look like a natural waterway, but like a specially dug road, very gentle.

As he walked, Lao Xu's expression, which had been slightly relaxed just now, became serious again. He would raise his hand to stop from time to time, and kept scanning the waterway.

"Is there something wrong?" Li Xiangyi saw Lao Xu's cautious behavior and asked quickly: "Is there any danger again?"

As she spoke, the shuttle behind her slowly trembled.

Lao Xu shook his head and did not answer, but his expression was still solemn. He even squatted down, grabbed some soil in the waterway, and observed it.

Did you find something?

Mo Ling was also attracted by Lao Xu's unusual behavior, and quickly immersed his vision into the waterway ground.

Soft sand can be seen everywhere, and there is only a small amount of water flowing slowly. There are no unknown caves around like the puddles.

Except for the strange spiral path, there is nothing wrong with it.

Just when Mo Ling was confused, Lao Xu also began to mutter to himself: "The soil is getting harder and harder, no, no, why is it going down?"

Li Xiangyi leaned next to Lao Xu and heard him talking to himself.

"What's going down?" she asked confused.

Lao Xu grabbed a handful of sand, held it in front of her, and explained:

"Obviously I have been walking according to my intuition, but I keep going down. The soil here is getting harder and harder, which means that we have come to a deeper place. We are not leaving the waterway, but walking in the opposite direction!"

However, his explanation made Li Xiangyi even more confused.

"Is it going all the way down?" She raised her finger, pointing at the sky and the ground, as if she couldn't tell where it was.

Then she looked back at the passage she came from, took two steps back and forth, turned around a few times, and asked blankly: "Where did we come from?"

Li Xiangyi looked at Lao Xu, wanting to get the answer from him, but Lao Xu looked at her strangely with his eyes widened, and the two looked at each other...

It wasn't until Li Xiangyi explained the price of her relics that Lao Xu suddenly understood and nodded.

"Don't ask, just follow me. Anyway, it's absolutely right to go to a less dangerous place. I've experienced this kind of thing many times." Lao Xu consoled him.

Afterwards, several people continued walking down the spiral waterway.

While walking, Li Xiangyi also talked about how she felt after losing her sense of direction.

For her, all directions in the world are confusing, such as the puddle she just experienced. Even if she was told that it was above, she didn't know where it was.

There is no relative space in Li Xiangyi's mind. She only has memories of scenes and environments.

These memories were completely connected by time, just like movie scenes, one scene after another, and she didn't even know how she got to the next scene.

It was just a puddle, but in the blink of an eye, it was within the spiral waterway. She could remember the constantly changing positions, but these positions could not be connected together in her mind.

Those "movie" scenes kept switching, and she went from one studio to the next. Only Li Luo and Lao Xu did not move, so she could only follow others.

While Li Xiangyi was telling the story, he got closer to Li Luo, for fear that he would be lost.

"You must be having a hard time living in the abyss, but this way you can still find the Oasis City." Lao Xu sighed after hearing this.

"I also wander around." Li Xiangyi said sheepishly: "Every time I meet other people, I tell them the price of my relics and then ask them to take me for a while. Most of them are quite willing."

In her opinion, there are still many hunters in the abyss.

A few people were chatting and had been walking for a long time, but the spiral water channel seemed to be very deep and they had never reached the end.

Lao Xu squatted down to check the soil from time to time, and came to the conclusion that they were getting further and further away from the ground, and were moving downwards along the waterway.

"The danger is getting lower and lower. Where are we going?" Lao Xu himself was a little confused.

Not only that, several people also discovered that the curvature of the spiral is getting larger and larger, like a shell, becoming more pointed as it reaches the bottom.

Finally, after walking down a steep slope, they came to a white flat land.

The flat ground was filled with broken shells, like an endless sea of ​​bones.

You can even make a "crunching" cracking sound when you step on them. These shells are not very hard and will break into pieces if a few people step on them.

Mo Ling's vision dipped downwards, and he didn't know how many fragments were piled up in this sea of ​​shells. He couldn't even see the bottom. Maybe there were more outside his field of vision.

"Where is this?"

How come there are so many shells?

Mo Ling looked at Lao Xu and found that he was also very surprised at this time, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

Lao Xu picked up a few shell fragments and observed them, his expression becoming more solemn.

He kept glancing around, walking back and forth, picking shells to compare with each other, and soon he said something even more shocking:

"This is the shell of the Shell Man."
