Tang Feng and Liang Yuan sped up their speed, but they walked along the shore for another half an hour. Except for the continuous footprints on the ground, they still found nothing, and the sand dunes and lakes beside them were still shrouded in thick fog. , Tang Feng felt more and more bad in his heart, how big is this Haizi?

Tang Feng mechanically moved forward along the footprints on the ground. Fortunately, he had a goal. If the footprints suddenly stopped, then... just as Tang Feng was thinking wildly, some yellow faintly appeared in the thick fog ahead, " What is that?" Liang Yuan asked in surprise.

Tang Feng stopped and observed for a while, "Reed, it's reed!"

The two slowed down and walked to the reed, only to find a reed appeared on the bank. At this time, the fog seemed to be a little thinner than before, but Tang Feng still couldn't see the scale of the reed, "The reed here It is much taller than the reeds in Dabaiquan, and it is the first time I have seen such tall reeds." Liang Yuan said, approaching the reeds.

Tang Feng grabbed Liang Yuan, "Be careful, don't get close to the reeds." Liang Yuan said stubbornly, "Look, this footprint has walked into the reeds."

Sure enough, the footprints extended all the way to the edge of the reeds. Liang Yuan broke free from Tang Feng and walked to the edge of the reeds. The footprint entered the reeds. Tang Feng hesitated, Liang Yuan turned around and asked: "What are you thinking? Go in! "

"Aren't you afraid of any danger inside?"

"With you here, what am I afraid of?"

Tang Feng felt excited when he heard this, and Liang Yuan said again: "Besides, if that person is really old, we have to go in and look for it!"

Tang Feng couldn't refute, so he had to bend down and approach the tall reeds with Liang Yuan. There was no way in the dense reeds. They stepped in the mud under their feet, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and sometimes they couldn't tell which was which. Footprints, Tang Feng was afraid that the footprints would disappear into the endless reeds here, so he stared at the intermittent footprints in the mud ahead, just like that, the two of them wandered around in the reeds without thinking, and finally followed That footprint actually walked out of the reeds and returned to the sand on the shore.

"This old horse is really interesting. It wandered into the reeds and came out again?" Liang Yuan said out of breath.

"No matter how much, I'm getting more and more afraid of this endless sea boy!" Tang Feng also panted.

"Are you afraid?"

"Who knows what will happen next? This Haizi is too strange!"

"So where should we go?"

Tang Feng looked back, and the fog seemed to have dissipated a lot more than before. After the footprint on the sand left the reeds, he did not continue to walk along the shore, but went up the small sandy slope on the shore, "Look See, this footprint leaves the shore here too, so we can keep following this footprint."

"You don't want to see the whole picture of this Haizi anymore, I see... I think the fog will dissipate in a while..." Liang Yuan stood on the shore, looking at the white mist, as if she couldn't see this Haizi. The sincerity is unwilling.

Tang Feng didn't speak any more. He stood on the shore and silently watched the strange Haizi covered in mist. He also wanted to see the whole picture of this Haizi clearly, but after 10 minutes, the fog on the water still refused to dissipate. Go, "It seems that we have nothing to do with it!" Tang Feng said calmly, "Let's go quickly, it will be dark if we don't go."

Liang Yuan glanced unwillingly at Haizi, who was shrouded in mist, and followed Tang Feng up the sand slope. Soon, they followed the footprints and turned over the sand dune, which was not high. Standing on the back of the dune, they still He couldn't see Haizi below clearly, but the mist on the other side of the dune had slowly dissipated, and Tang Feng could vaguely see the continuous yellow sand on the other side of the dune.

Tang Feng was dizzy for a while, and there was yellow sand again. He didn't know where it was leading, but the footprints were still extending, and the two had to continue to follow the path guided by the footprints mechanically. After an hour, they were still surrounded by continuous sand dunes , the footprints on the ground are still extending forward, but the footprints have become more and more messy.

After walking for another hour, the sun had already set in the west. Tang Feng couldn't help but feel anxious. Would he want to spend the night in the desert again?While hesitating, Tang Feng pulled Liang Yuan up a tall sand dune. At this time, the two were exhausted, but what made Tang Feng even more disappointed was that the footprints that had been guiding them all along left the last trace on this tall sand dune. After a mess of footprints, they disappeared completely.

"What... what's going on here?" Tang Feng stood helplessly and desperately on the back of the sand dune, and the bottom of the sand dune was shrouded in mist again.

"The footprints disappeared? The fog is coming again?" Liang Yuan looked around and cried out in panic.

"No! That's impossible. Why did the footprints disappear suddenly? Could it be...there is still this fog, why is it coming again..." Tang Feng looked exhaustedly at the bottom of the fog-shrouded sand dunes.

Strange to say, as soon as Tang Feng finished speaking, the fog under the sand dunes dissipated slowly, and a small Haizi, as smooth as a mirror, lay quietly under the sand dunes. Two yurts came out.

"Look, there's someone below..." Liang Yuan exclaimed excitedly.

"It seems... It seems that we have walked out of the Wild Wolf Valley..." After Tang Feng said this, his eyes darkened, his legs softened, and he lost consciousness...

"Huh-huh!" The sound of water kept hitting Tang Feng's eardrums. Tang Feng slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying on the yellow sand by the water bank. Where is this?Tang Feng wanted to sit up, but as soon as he moved, he felt a sharp pain, "Yuanyuan... Yuanyuan..." Tang Feng called Liang Yuan weakly, but there was no echo except for the sound of rushing water, even Even the wind stopped.

Tang Feng wanted to try again, but he felt that he had no strength at all. He turned his face and saw the rushing lake on his right, and the sand dunes with no peak on the other side. Shrouded in mist, it was a vast expanse of whiteness.

Tang Feng lay flat on the bank of the water, staring at the white sky, where is he?It seemed that he was still in that foggy Haizi where he couldn't see the edge, but...but he and Liang Yuan had already left this Haizi, why did he come back here again?Tang Feng tried his best to recall what happened just now, but his previous memory was blank, where is Yuanyuan?No, I have to find Yuanyuan. Thinking of this, Tang Feng tried to sit up while supporting himself with his right arm, while shouting "Yuanyuan...Yuanyuan..."

However, Liang Yuan did not appear, but a black figure slowly came out of the thick fog, no!That black shadow didn't come out, but... floated!No, it's not floating, Tang Feng doesn't know what words to use to describe the moving appearance of that black shadow, just for a moment, that black shadow came to Tang Feng's side, without any sound at all!
Tang Feng stared in surprise at this familiar yet unfamiliar black figure—a woman wearing a mask!When Tang Feng saw the mask again, he shuddered all over. There seemed to be a mysterious ray in the empty eye sockets. When Tang Feng's gaze met it, Tang Feng fell to the ground exhausted again.

Just like what I saw a few times before, the masked woman still looks the same - gorgeous robes, tall hats, party aristocratic women's wear, and that strange mask that shines with metallic luster!
"We meet again, my friend." The masked woman spoke first.

"Yes, you...why did you appear here again?"

"Have you found Hanhaimi City?" The masked woman didn't answer Tang Feng's question.

"No, it's too...too far away, and...too mysterious, but I think we're...very close to it." Tang Feng said weakly.

"I have persuaded you a long time ago that Hanhai Micheng is a forbidden place for party members. It is impossible for you to find it. The difficulties and obstacles along the way are enough to take your life! Do you regret it now?"

"No, I don't regret it."

"It's too late for you to regret it now."

"No... As long as I'm not dead, I won't... I won't give up!" Tang Feng gritted his teeth.

The woman in the mask was silent. After a long time, Tang Feng supported himself and tried to stand up again. He found that the woman in the mask slowly raised her right hand again. This action made Tang Feng nervous. What is she going to do?Tang Feng was surprised, but felt that his body seemed to be pulled by a powerful force, and he stood up very easily.

"Is...is it you?" Tang Feng stood in front of the woman in a daze and asked a strange question.

The woman wearing the mask slowly lowered her arms, and remained silent, but Tang Feng felt that she seemed to be nodding her head. The two stood face to face like this. After an unknown amount of time, just as Tang Feng wanted to speak, the woman wearing the mask spoke first. Said, "Is the thing I gave you still there?"

"You mean that...that piece of jade?" Tang Feng suddenly felt that he was holding something cold and hard in his hand. He opened it instinctively, and it was that jade piece!

"Remember what I told you when I gave you this thing?"

"At that time... at that time, it seemed that you said so, if I can reach Hanhaimi City, I will take this thing there; if I fail to reach Hanhaimi City and leave here safely, this thing will be Leave it to me; if I fail to reach Hanhaimi City, and fail to leave here safely, then this thing will be my funeral object." Tang Feng felt much better now than before.

"You remember well. At that time, you had three fates. Now you still have these three fates. As for your ultimate fate? It depends on your own choice." The woman in the mask said calmly.

"I'm well aware of my options."

"Okay then, do it yourself."

Saying that, the woman in the mask turned around and was about to leave. Tang Feng didn't know where he got the courage to shout at her: "Please wait, I still have questions?"

"Oh!" The masked woman seemed a little surprised by Tang Feng's move.

"Can you...can you tell me where this is?"

"Here? This is called the Fountain of Rebirth." A strange voice came from behind the mask that shone with a strange metallic luster. This voice seemed to be a little different from the woman's previous voice, as if it came from an extremely distant place.

"The Spring of Rebirth? Such a large water surface, how could it be a 'spring'?" Tang Feng couldn't believe it.

"This is a name that has been passed down from ancient times!"

"Then can you tell me how big this spring of death is?"

"The spring of death is sometimes big and sometimes small. When it is big, it swallows the vast sea and is boundless. When it is small, it is as quiet as a pearl and disappears without a trace."

Tang Feng didn't understand what this meant?Just as Tang Feng was pondering these words, the woman in the mask turned around slowly and left the last sentence - "But you have to be careful, the spring of the past life can get rid of the sins of this life; Fate!" and disappeared into the vast white mist.

Everything was quiet again, Tang Feng stood quietly on the bank of the past life spring alone, he was still carefully chewing the last two words left by the masked woman, "The past life spring is sometimes big and sometimes small, and when it is big, it swallows the vast sea , is boundless, and small is as quiet as a pearl, without a trace." What does this mean?It's easy to understand when it's big and sometimes small, but Tang Feng really can't understand the next few sentences, and it's big and it's boundless?How big can this be?The small one is as quiet as a pearl, without a trace?Disappeared without a trace?What kind of spring is this, and there will be such a big change?

What makes Tang Feng even more incomprehensible is the last sentence "But you have to be careful, the spring of the past life can get rid of the sins of this life; it can also prevent good luck in the next life!" Tang Feng really couldn't understand this sentence full of Buddhist wisdom. , the Spring of Rebirth?The name itself was so strange that Tang Feng felt his head hurt from thinking about it, so he simply didn't think about it. He shook his head vigorously and found that the fog was getting thicker and thicker, so that no one could be seen on the other side.

Tang Feng suddenly thought of Liang Yuan again, where did Liang Yuan go?And Makarov, Han Jiang, Yelena, where did they all go?Tang Feng began to search along the water bank. In the thick fog, Tang Feng struggled forward. On the water bank, except for his own footprints, there was no sign of life.

Half an hour passed, one hour passed, two hours passed, three hours passed, Tang Feng was exhausted, the fog was thicker and thicker, the sea was boundless, no sign of life could be seen, Tang Feng Do you start to wonder if you are still in this world?
Suddenly, a smear of yellow appeared on the bank of the water shrouded in thick fog. It was reeds. The fog was too thick. Tang Feng couldn't judge the range of the reeds. He wanted to bypass the reeds, so he continued to walk along the periphery of the reeds. , but not long after walking, he heard a strange sound, like a woman's cry, and like the sound of wind, Tang Feng's heart tightened suddenly, and he heard that the sound seemed to come from the reeds .

Tang Feng blocked his ears, didn't listen to the sound, and continued to walk outside the reeds, but the strange sound kept coming. As he walked, Liang Yuan's face suddenly appeared in Tang Feng's mind. Could it be that The voice is Liang Yuan?Thinking of this, Tang Feng stopped in his tracks, and simply listened carefully to the voice. The voice was indeed coming from the reeds. Tang Feng's heart was tightened, and Liang Yuan's face kept appearing in his mind. middle……

Unknowingly, Tang Feng has already stepped forward and walked into the tall reeds. After walking a few steps, Tang Feng felt that something hard was stepped on under his feet. When he looked down, some white things were exposed in the mud , wiped off the mud, picked it up, and found that it was a bone—a human tibia, and further down, more and more bones were exposed, all of which were human bones.

The reeds are also like the Spring of Rebirth, seemingly endless, and they can never reach the end. Tang Feng stepped on the mud and bones all over the ground, and walked forward with difficulty. He suddenly found that the water under his feet was slowly receding, even though he was constantly Walking into the water, but the water never submerged his uppers.

Finally, Tang Feng came to the end of the reeds, and the mist slowly dissipated. Only then did he see that the water surface had receded by more than ten meters than before he entered the reeds. The silt beach of more than ten meters, except for the reeds, did not leave any living things on the silt beach, not even small fish and shrimps were seen.

The water level continued to drop, and suddenly, a white skeleton appeared from under the water surface, followed by another one. The fog had not completely dispersed, and Tang Feng could not see the whole picture of Xiangsheng Spring clearly.At this moment, Tang Feng found a snake swimming out of the eye socket of the white skull. This snake was about two meters long, and its body was slightly smaller than the eye socket of the skeleton, so it could come in and out freely. Tang Feng didn't know it was this snake. What kind of snake, just when he was surprised, the snake lay on the dry mud, suddenly jumped for life, and rushed towards Tang Feng. Tang Feng was completely unprepared, only felt a sharp pain in his thigh, and then lost consciousness... …

Tang Feng's body trembled violently, and he woke up. Liang Yuan's beautiful face appeared in front of Tang Feng, followed by a familiar face - Lao Ma.

"He must have had a nightmare again!" Makarov said to Liang Yuan, and then turned to Tang Feng, "Boy, am I right?"

"Nightmare?" Tang Feng rubbed his temples vigorously, trying to recall everything he had just encountered, the woman wearing the mask, the boundless Haizi, the skeleton, and the ferocious poisonous snake... Tang Feng sat up abruptly and looked at his body. There is no severe pain or injury in the thigh, but it just feels a little sore. Could it be that it was really another nightmare just now?
Tang Feng regained his composure and looked around. It was a yurt, and he was lying on a wooden bed at the moment, while Liang Yuan and Makarov were looking at him, "Old Ma, you...why are you here? "

"Why can't I be here, I came earlier than you!" Makarov laughed.

"Really? Where am I?"

Liang Yuan said: "You are not as good as me now, you fell off the sand dunes as soon as you saw the yurt."
