"The thing is coming soon, it's not safe here." Green Ely said in a serious tone, and waved to Blore, asking him to climb up with her.
Blore felt a surge of unease, but he couldn't pinpoint the cause. This feeling left him confused and anxious. He tried to find clues to explain this strange phenomenon, but everything around him seemed so strange and mysterious.
He looked back down and saw the thick, golden liquid rising like a tide, its speed increasing as if it were about to engulf the entire space. As the liquid rose, it began to submerge the stone tablet, completely covering it. The once clear inscriptions became blurred and finally disappeared into the golden liquid.
At the same time, the "people" sealed within the transparent solid gradually became buried within it. Their bodies began to change upon contact with the liquid. Their skin became transparent, their muscles gradually melted, and their bones began to soften. Finally, these "people" completely merged into the liquid, disappearing without a trace.
Blore looked up and saw a few tiny, barely noticeable gaps. He remembered where Xianmenlai and Matuan Baidi had crouched and peered. Jiuyizhi had already reached the highest point. The stone pillar was narrow at the base and wide at the top, shaped like a massive, lush tree, or perhaps a strange mushroom tree, its canopy providing shelter.
When Jiu Yizhi reached the top, he was surprised to find the space unusually spacious. His feet were covered in colorful bumps, each about the size of two palms put together. The strangeness of the bumps made him feel instinctively uncomfortable. Furthermore, the arrangement of the bumps seemed to form a pattern, though it wasn't yet clear.
Bai Di and Xian Ke Lai also reached the top at this time and were studying the pattern.
The little sea otter in Matuan's arms seemed to sense something, broke free from the backpack, looked at Matuan with watery eyes, and then jumped down.
Ma Tuan originally had his back to it, and thought it was going to climb on his head again, so he ignored it, but he didn't expect...
He was still a beat too late to reach out his hand, and he was anxious. Just as he was about to go down to see if he could find the body, he was hugged by Blore who came from behind.
"It must have its reasons for doing this, wait a minute!"
Even though I was extremely anxious, there was nothing I could do in this situation but to keep going up.
Clouds appeared on the horizon around him. The clouds were big and thick, and looked warm and solid. Ma Tuan touched them subconsciously, but suddenly found that he was already used to having a furry creature around him.
"Ma Tuan, do you remember that place? It's all mycelium of this form!" Bai Di looked for a moment and suddenly remembered.
Ma Tuan frowned and looked at Bai Di with confusion. After he climbed up, he suddenly remembered.
"It's not that I almost forgot. You have experienced much more than me. How can you still remember it?" Ma Tuan was shocked.
“…”
"But it does look like..." Ma Tuan grabbed another big ball, and a slight tearing sound suddenly rang out.
The golden, viscous liquid beneath the stone mushrooms suddenly began to boil, bubbling like a pot of porridge. Simultaneously, the cloud-like masses of mycelium began to slowly merge, taking on a faint golden hue. A strong, sickening odor gradually filled the air, forcing one to cover their noses.
In this strange scene, the boiling liquid intensified, as if driven by an invisible force. The mycelial masses also merged at an ever-increasing rate, gradually converging into a massive golden sphere. The surface of this sphere was smooth and lustrous, yet within it seemed to harbour some mysterious power.
Over time, tiny cracks began to appear on the sphere's surface, like an eggshell. Then, dazzling golden rays shot out from the cracks, like the sun's rays streaming through the clouds. Just then, the sphere suddenly exploded, sending countless golden filaments scattering in all directions like a fountain.
These fine threads intertwined and tangled in the air, forming a vast net. Each strand within the net shone with a strange light, as if imbued with boundless energy. The entire space was enveloped by this golden net, creating a feeling of both beauty and danger.
Under the illumination of this light, everything around him became distorted, and space seemed to begin to change. A strong sense of oppression surged into his heart, making it difficult to breathe.
At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared from the shadows. A slender figure quietly emerged from the deep darkness. She was wrapped in a long, plain veil, her white hair swaying to the ground, her smooth, silky hair dancing gently in the wind, like a ghost.
The mask covered her face, and her featureless face looked extremely strange and creepy.
The mysterious figure stood there quietly, as if blending into the darkness. Her presence filled people with an inexplicable fear and awe, as if she were a messenger from another world, bringing endless darkness and mystery.
Suddenly, the mysterious figure moved, her figure like a ghost, vanishing into the darkness in an instant. Only her long, plain veil and white hair swayed in the wind, as if telling a secret. Her departure was as silent and abrupt as her arrival, leaving behind endless reverie and confusion.
"What is that?" Blore half-knelt on the ground, somewhat confused.
"Snow Mountain Sacred Tree!"
But Ma Tuan and Bai Di said in unison.
"Is this... the faceless, white-haired man you were talking about?" Xiankelai said in shock, because what had just happened had shocked him deeply.
