Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 656: Stone River

Since the big tree was transformed from the base of the Sky-supporting Jade Pillar, there should be a lot of Sky-supporting Stones to be found nearby. This is the best news since entering southern Xinjiang.

But on second thought, if there were a lot of Sky-supporting Stones nearby, why would the Sirius Cult go to the Central Plains?

It is said that this thing has been distorted to an outrageous degree over a long period of time, so its credibility is still questionable.

No matter what, it's good news that we are almost at Baofeng Village. At least we have to give an explanation for this long journey.

Ran Xiaoyi had obviously come here more than once or twice. After telling others about the legend, he immediately added:
"We can see Baofeng Village after we climb over the hill in front of the big tree. However, there are people from Baofeng Village everywhere, so we have to wait until nightfall before we can go in."

"So how do we get in? Change into their clothes?"

Apart from anything else, the appearance of people from the Central Plains is quite different from that of people from southern Xinjiang. It seems that it would be difficult to blend in just by changing the clothes.

"Since the roots of the big trees go deep into the ground, there are many secret passages nearby. I know a few of them that lead directly to Baofeng Village. We can sneak in and investigate."

Aren’t you from Qingzhu Village?
How do you know the secret passage of Baofeng Village?

"I always used the secret passage to see my sister. I hope they haven't sealed it off."

A shaman is very special in a village in southern Xinjiang, especially when he has not yet fully taken over the duties of a shaman. He will not easily leave the village or meet outsiders, even if the outsider is his own sister.

So after Baofeng Village asked Ran Xiaoyi's sister to leave, she could only communicate with her sister through letters. If she wanted to meet her, she could not go openly but only through the secret passage.

The people in Baofeng Village also knew this. They were the ones who told Ran Xiaoyi about the secret passage. After all, rules are dead, but people are alive. As long as they don't violate them on the surface, it will be fine.

Speaking of her sister, Ran Xiaoyi's face was filled with worry again. Her sister's recent abnormal behavior made her very uneasy, and she had hoped to meet her sister several times during this period, but was rejected.

But don't be in a hurry, you have to wait until dark to take the secret passage.

"Rest here for a while and eat something."

Everyone dispersed and found a place to sit down and rest.

When it comes to food, this is the most uncomfortable thing for these people from the Central Plains.

When people from the Central Plains went out, they carried dry food with them, such as dry bread, dry steamed buns, and occasionally some dried meat, dried fruit, etc.

Not delicious, but ok.

When people from southern Xinjiang go out, they either carry rice cakes that are too hard to chew, or simply bring a bag of rice and find some bamboo on the spot to use as cooking utensils to cook bamboo tube rice.

I definitely can’t make a fire now, so I can only chew the hard rice cakes.

As for dried meat and the like, we do have that.

They like to carry dried lizards that are pickled and dried, but for people from the Central Plains to eat this, they really need to be mentally prepared.

Anyway, most of the time people don’t dare to eat it.

Yang Yiyi was the same. She held the rice cake and ate it hard, and from time to time she picked up the water bag and poured it into her mouth. Every time this happened, she began to miss the spicy hot pot base that Li Chengxi gave her...

The products of the modern food industry can beat all the handmade products in ancient times. The energy density, nutritional content, and the most direct taste are beyond the reach of Yang Yiyi's productivity.

Not to mention anything else, the spices alone are enough to make the spicy hot pot base a tribute.

But Li Chengxi couldn't possibly take out a self-heating hot pot and give it to her at this time, right?

After a simple lunch, Yang Yiyi, who had good teeth and ate the fastest, got up and walked around to digest her food.

At this time, a loud bang was heard from a distance. At first, everyone thought it was going to rain again, but when they looked up, there were no dark clouds in the sky. "Look at the top of the mountain! It's on the left!"

Everyone looked in the direction Wu Shaoyi pointed, and saw that the mountain on the left side of their field of vision was rolling down the slope, crushing all the trees blocking the road.

At this moment, a loud rumbling sound entered everyone's ears. The soil and rocks were like an avalanche, and most of the mountain was about to slide down.

But this place is safe and won't be affected.

How could a landslide happen when there was no rain and everything was fine?
Everyone was a little surprised, but no one paid too much attention to it until Qin Yan said:

"Look down the mountain, is there anyone over there?"

Through the gaps in the shade of the trees, you can really see a group of human-like shadows. Through diffuse reflection, the shadows are refracted onto the cliffs on the other side, so they can be seen.

The figure was in a panic and seemed to be running around.

If you look closely, you will find that the hairstyles of those figures look like those of people from the Central Plains.

"Maybe it's Sister Ning and the others! Let's go over and take a look!"

When Yang Yiyi thought that Ning Xian'er might have also investigated the vicinity of Baofeng Village, she became anxious. She rushed out with a quick step and disappeared under the cover of vegetation in a flash.

The others were a step slower, but soon caught up.

Following the direction of the landslide, they quickly passed through the forest. When they reached the side of the mountain, they saw a huge crab poking above the landslide, constantly throwing dirt and rocks downwards like it was lying on the sand.

It's a big crab!
This landslide is definitely not an accident!
Thinking of this, everyone became even more anxious. Could it be that they were really going to use mudslides to deal with the martial artists near Baofeng Village?
Everyone quickened their pace and rushed out of the woods.

At this time they came to a natural stone bridge, which spanned a valley created by the impact of water flow. However, one end of the valley was a dead end, and the other end was blocked by a mudslide.

The valley is a hundred feet high, as if cut by a knife or an axe, straight up and down. The shadow seen before was reflected on the rock wall on one side of the valley.

The owners of the shadows were at the other end of the field of vision, fleeing rapidly from the impact of the mudslide. Although their faces could not be seen clearly, it was true that they were all dressed like people from the Central Plains.

The good news is that, as of now, the mudslide cannot catch up with the lightness of these people. After all, the mudslide was caused by the big crab and the scale was not that large.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and planned to find a place to ask later.

But at this time Ran Xiaoyi suddenly said:
"It's bad. It's flood season now. The Stone River will open at this time."

Ran Xiaoyi's words made the people from the Central Plains who were around him wonder, what is Shi Zhonghe?
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard another loud bang, coming from behind.

Everyone turned around and saw that at the other end of the dead end of the valley, the rock wall suddenly exploded, and a huge stream of water spurted out. Under the impact of the water, the cracks expanded rapidly, and more and more water poured in, like a dam bursting.

Now, they know what the River in the Stone is.

The terrain in southern Xinjiang is complex and the waterways are crisscrossed. This complexity is not just apparent in the form of many mountains and rivers.

Due to years of rain, the underground of southern Xinjiang is full of caves and underground rivers.

The Shizhong River that Ran Xiaoyi mentioned is a river that only appears when southern Xinjiang enters a period of heavy rainfall.

Simply put, rainwater enters the ground, and there is too much of it, so it bursts out of the rocks every time this happens.

It's basically like when it rains so hard that water starts to flow up into the city's sewer system.

——It’s a bit disgusting to say that.
