Chapter 575 The Secret of the Dry Well
"Cough cough cough~"
"This wind and sand are too big!"
Li Sao cursed and patted the dust on her body, leaned against the wall and took a deep breath.
But Li Chen next to him seemed to have other thoughts.
"Huanhua Secret Realm."
This was the name that little monk Ying Hui called out when Liuyun Feizhou disintegrated.
He probably meant for everyone to meet in the 'Huanhua Secret Realm'.
Being able to call out this name at the moment when the big ship's barrier collapsed showed that young monk Ying Hui was quite familiar with this place.
From the moment he stepped onto the Liuyun Feizhou, Li Chen guessed that Landuo Temple was most likely hidden in Xunhuang between Lihuang and Kunhuang.
Unexpectedly, I actually guessed it correctly.
"If 'Huanhua Secret Realm' is a place name, then how should we find it?" Lisao looked away from the mountain wall, revealing half of her head.
The wind was only slightly stronger than before, and even the gray fog became heavier.
Li Chen frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Master Ying Hui is probably familiar here, so he was able to say this name at such an urgent moment at the end."
"Moreover, this 'Huanhua Secret Realm' is most likely nearby."
Thinking of this, Li Chen took out a beast control card and released Hai Dongqing.
唳~
A clear cry resounded through the sky.
Fu Xue just spread her wings and had already escaped from behind the mountain wall.
But for a moment, Li Chen's mind showed another look.
The strong wind is a burden for Liuyun Feizhou, but for Hai Dongqing, it can only make it fly faster and faster.
Soon Li Chen's eyes lit up. Sure enough, in the gray fog, Hai Dongqing could see farther.
Even three or four miles south of the stone wall, a few figures flashed past.
At that moment, Li Chen didn't hesitate anymore, he quickly grabbed Li Sao and walked in that direction despite the wind and dust.
Since it was getting late and gray fog covered the sky, the two could only move forward gropingly.
But what makes people feel even more strange is that they clearly saw a figure walking past just now, but now there is nothing in front of them.
"strangeness."
"Did I see it wrong?"
Li Chen looked around subconsciously.
It was still hazy and I couldn't see clearly.
So where did the figure Fu Xue saw just now come from?
Li Chen thought carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
I saw a clear footprint on the ground.
Xunhuang has been covered by gray fog for a long time, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate, so there is not much vegetation here.
But the ground is always covered with a fresh layer of dust.
As long as you walk through it, you will leave footprints.
Over time, new dust will cover the footprints again.
But at this moment, the footprints in front of me were extremely clear, which meant that someone had indeed walked through here just now.
The two of them were delighted when they saw it, and quickly followed the traces on the ground to find it.
After about a cup of tea, the two stood in front of a dry well and looked at each other.
The footprints just now ended abruptly at this point.
"It's impossible. Why did the footprints suddenly disappear?" Lisao walked around the dry well to make sure there was no trace at all.
He couldn't help but touched his bald head with doubt on his face: "Did he go to heaven?"
Li Chen looked at the dry well, thoughtfully.
The rim of this dry well is more than three feet above the ground, and the entire body is made of hard rock.
Suddenly something moved in his heart, and he chuckled and said: "It's unlikely to go to heaven, but it's very possible to go to earth."
"Go to the ground?"
Li Sao was stunned and subconsciously looked at the bottom of the well, but she only saw a dark patch of water.
"Senior brother, you mean...they went down the well?"
Li Chen nodded, and under Li Sao's confused gaze, he stretched out a finger and lightly rubbed it on the edge of the well.
There was just a thin layer of dust on my fingertips.
What does this mean?
It means that people are wiping here frequently, or that people often pass by.
Li Sao was stunned when she heard this: "Living under a well?!"
Li Chen nodded and explained without any curiosity: "We just walked along the road, and the surroundings were all weedless wasteland."
“I didn’t even see half the house.
On the contrary, we only walked a few miles, but we saw three dry wells. "
“Every once in a while you can see a dry well.
The key point is that every dry well here is similar to the one in front of you. "
“The most curious thing is that before the dry well dried up, it should have been used to draw water.
But there are no water-drawing tools such as windlass above the wellheads in front of us.
There are no traces of use on the edge of the well. "
"And it's so strange that these wells appear together."
Li Sao fumbled around subconsciously, then nodded.
“Since it is a well, it must be used before the water dries up.
But the dry wells in front of them showed no trace of use. "
"Really suspicious."
Li Chen pointed to the gray mist in the sky and speculated: "On the other hand, the dust here is very large. If a house is built on the ground, it will inevitably be invaded by dust."
"But if you live underground, then all this makes sense."
Li Sao nodded and suddenly realized: "As expected of senior brother."
"So, most likely they live underground."
"But how do we enter?"
"Jump right down?"
Hearing this, Li Chen shook his head and raised an arm. The next moment, a swarm of second-generation blood-winged demon mosquitoes swarmed into the dry well.
After a few breaths, Li Chen received feedback.
It was just as he had guessed!
He did not hesitate and jumped down directly.
After a few seconds of free fall, Li Chen's feet paused and he had stepped on the bottom of the well.
It was only a few feet from the bottom of the well to the well mouth. The ground under his feet was hard. It was obvious that the well itself was disguised.
In front of him, there was a passage more than one person high. At the end of the passage, a faint light could be seen.
Seeing this, Li Chen's eyes lit up. There was indeed another world here.
He immediately made way for the bottom of the well, stood sideways in the passage, and signaled Li Sao to jump down.
With a muffled sound of "dong", Li Sao landed successfully.
The two walked along the passage one after another.
After walking for a distance, the two came to the other side of the passage.
Li Chen looked inside along the passage, and in front of him was a long and narrow staircase.
Going down the stairs, the scene in front of them surprised the two.
Buildings lined up one after another, and people in twos and threes.
The traffic was busy and there were even noisy hawking sounds.
It was a thriving scene!
The two looked at each other in bewilderment.
Originally, I thought it was dark and gloomy and deadly at the bottom of the well, but now it was not gloomy and deadly, but the walls on all four sides were emitting a faint fluorescence.
It was obviously underground, but it was brighter than the outside world.
Li Chen walked closer with curiosity and found that there was a layer of white moss growing on the stone wall, and all the light came from this moss.
