Chapter 225 Ancient Stone Tablet
At the place where the black eagle fell, night fell quietly, and the air in the wilderness was filled with the tranquility after the tension. Although Chen Xian and the little beast had won, they also knew that in this unknown world, danger could come back at any time. Yaya gently stroked the little beast's injured fur with her little hand, trying to give it some comfort.
Chen Xian looked around and realized that they had to find a safe place to spend the night. He noticed a protruding rock not far away, and underneath the rock was a naturally formed cave that looked like it could shelter from the wind and rain. He decided to take shelter there for the time being, after all, it was much safer than the open area.
The trio entered the cave carefully. Chen Xian used the weak light from the spirit sword to illuminate the surroundings and found that the interior of the cave was relatively dry, and there was a thin layer of hay covering the ground, which seemed to be the nest of some animal. But it didn't matter, because at this moment, any place that could provide protection was precious.
After settling down, Chen Xian began to check his own and the beast's injuries. Although the beast had many scratches, it was not serious; and he himself had a few shallow wounds from fighting with the black eagle. He used the ointment he brought with him to simply treat them, and then sat at the entrance of the cave, alert to possible new threats.
Yaya sat quietly aside, her eyes full of curiosity. She seemed to want to ask something, but in the end she just hugged the little beast tightly, as if seeking a sense of security.
"Brother," Yaya finally spoke, "Where are we? Why is there such a big bird?"
Chen Xian pondered for a while and replied, "This place is very strange, not like the world we are familiar with. It may be some kind of illusion or another dimension. As for the black eagle...it may be the guardian of this place."
"Guardian?" Yaya asked puzzledly.
Chen Xian nodded. "Maybe this is the key for us to pass the test and leave here. But now it is more important to rest and conserve our energy. We will continue exploring tomorrow."
Just as they were about to rest, Chen Xian noticed a faint light flickering deep in the cave. He became alert, but also curious. He signaled Yaya to stay where she was, and he quietly approached the light source.
After approaching the light source, Chen Xian found that it was a seemingly ancient stone tablet, which was engraved with strange symbols. These symbols emitted a faint light in the darkness, as if they had some kind of magic. Just as he reached out to touch those symbols, he suddenly felt a strong energy surge into his body. At the same time, the symbols on the stone tablet began to rotate, forming a vortex pattern.
"This is..." Chen Xian was surprised to find that he could understand the meaning of these symbols. They told a secret about this land and how to solve the mystery here.
As the energy was injected, a series of images emerged in Chen Xian's mind, which seemed to guide their next move. He realized that this stone tablet was not just a simple mark, it might be the key to their escape from this strange world.
When Chen Xian returned to Yaya and Xiaoshou, his eyes were full of determination. He knew that the road ahead would not be easy, but they already had new hope. And the mysterious stone tablet and the message it conveyed would become an important clue for them to move forward.
"Yaya," Chen Xian said softly, "I found something that may be helpful to us. Let's rest first. When it gets light, we will set off."
Yaya nodded, with trust in her eyes. She knew that no matter what happened next, as long as they were together, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.
As the last ray of light disappeared over the horizon, the three fell asleep.
When they woke up, the sun was already high in the sky, bringing warm light to the earth. Chen Xian first checked their equipment to make sure everything was intact. Just then, the little beast suddenly became restless. It stood up and growled in a certain direction of the cave.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xian asked, but he didn't get an answer. Instead, the little beast turned to him, revealing an unprecedented seriousness in its eyes. Then, it began to tap the ground with its front paws, as if trying to convey some kind of message.
Chen Xian squatted down and carefully observed the little beast's movements. "You mean... there's danger?" he asked tentatively. At this time, the little beast stopped flapping and looked up at him, with a look in its eyes that seemed to be warning him of something.
"It seems that our little friend is not only brave," Chen Xian said to Yaya with a smile, "it seems to have the ability to predict danger."
Yaya's eyes lit up, "Really? That's awesome!"
Chen Xian nodded in agreement, and then said seriously: "In this case, we'd better be careful. Maybe we should take a detour to avoid possible trouble."
Led by the little beast, they chose another path, which seemed more hidden and more difficult. But as they moved forward, Chen Xian gradually found that this path seemed safer than the original one. Whenever they approached a possible dangerous area, the little beast would always sound an alarm in advance, allowing them to respond in time.
