129. Secret time and space
I don’t know how long I slept, but Quartz was urging her torture her stomach and woke up hungry.
I rubbed my eyes and looked at the sky, and found that it was not dark yet, and Ali next to me was still sleeping.
Quartz touched his forehead and found it was a little hot. The ice bag that had been placed on his forehead had already turned into a water bag, so he had to change a few pieces of ice from the ice bucket before applying it to him.
Looking around, the two black Rugas who had fallen to the ground before were gone, only a small amount of blood was still there, and they probably had escaped.
Quartz waited for several hours in this simple temporary camp, and Ali finally woke up slowly. After drinking several sips of water, he looked much better than before.
The two of them had difficulty collecting some dry firewood nearby to make a small fire pit, then cleaned up the remaining fish, then removed the internal organs and skewed them into skewers and roasted them on the bonfire.
I don’t know if it was the injury that affected Ali’s performance or if he was not good at barbecue. Anyway, the fish was grilled so badly. The two of them and four elves barely ate these things that were hard to tell whether it was fish or coke.
Then, they began a long wait.
…………
A few more dead branches were stuffed into the bonfire, Quartz wiped the thin sweat from his forehead, sat down next to Ali, listening to the slight crackling sound of the bonfire, feeling a little relieved.
Although the sky above his head was drowsy, it was full of light, and the sun showed no sign of setting, Quartz's biological clock reminded him in his heart that it had been at least twenty-four hours since he was here.
Could it be that this is the polar region, or is it just that the day and night change is slower? Quarz had many questions in his mind, but Ali, the only one who could answer his doubts, was now lying flat near the campfire and fell asleep again.
His originally dark and shiny skin now looks a bit sickly and pale, obviously caused by excessive blood loss.
Logically, such sufficient lighting does not require a bonfire, but Ali's body temperature is rising and falling, and it is hot and sweating profusely, and it will be cold and cold at the same time. Although Quartz does not have much advanced medical knowledge, it also knows that Ali should now provide a dry and warm environment, and it must be replenished with enough water. Most of the buckets and half of fresh water rescued from the sink have been cooled down or taken orally.
The fire dinosaur's condition is better. In addition to being hot and sweating, it is just a little slow to react. If it is in combat, this condition will definitely have some impact, but now the situation is urgent and you don't care about so much.
"Cough cough..." Ali coughed violently for a few times, then suddenly opened his eyes and sat up and looked around. He found Quartz sitting intact beside him. Then he felt relieved to lie down: "How long have I been sleeping?"
Quartz couldn't get the time, so he could only report a number based on his feelings. After hearing this, Ali felt bitter: "It's been so long, it seems that the arrival of this secret realm is very slow, it's too bad."
"I feel that it has been a long time since I came here, at least for more than twenty-four hours. Why is it still bright?"
Ali looked up at the clear sky above the sandstorm and smog: "Do you know what the essence of the secret realm is?"
"Is it the other world where the elves live?" Quartz has been studying hard during this period and is no longer the novice in the past.
"That's right, the so-called secret realm is actually another world.
In these worlds, time and space are chaotic and ambiguous, and there is no unified standard.
To give a famous example, in the spring of 1999, a primitive volcanic plain secret land appeared in the city of the United States.
And a month before that, a secret land of the future urban on the sea appeared in the Peacock Kingdom’s Garol…”
Speaking of this, Ali's expression became mysterious:
"This may not be anything, but...ahhehe...you know?
The league's exploration team explored the landform characteristics and cultural records in detail in these two secret realms, and finally came to an amazing conclusion..."
Quartz didn't expect Ali would say half of his words to attract people's appetite, so he asked him: "What's the conclusion?"
Ali smiled:
"You can never dream of this, these two secret realms are exactly the same area on the same planet!
But the space of the two is the same but the time is different. The ocean is actually formed by the volcano after thousands of years of environmental changes!”
"What?!" Quartz was really shocked now. It was clearly the secret realm that appeared first on Earth, but it turned out to be thousands of years after that secret realm appeared. This was too chaotic and outrageous!
Just listening to this description, this kind of chaotic setting of time and space is so terrifying that it is a certain soul. We are so terrifying to think about it so carefully.
"It's weird, isn't it?
But don’t worry, no matter how chaotic the time and space of these secret realms were before, as long as they start to merge with the earth through the secret realm cave, the time flow will be synchronized.
In your fable, "After Taro Urashima returns, he finds that it has been a hundred years."
Ali obviously knew what Quartz was worried about, so he quickly added an explanation.
But he got the allusion wrong, Urashima Taro's story is clearly from the East...
Forget it, nine out of the ten foreigners can't tell the difference between Chinese and Eastern cultures, just like we can't tell the difference between Celtics and Slavic and Germanic cultures.
Although Alibaba is weak, she is very talkative and doesn't stop as soon as she opens:
"Although time is very chaotic, because every time the world and the earth in the secret realm will only merge into a very small place.
So we still cannot leave the location near the secret cave, otherwise if the fusion is completed and we are not within the scope, we will be trapped in this secret world forever."
Quartz nodded, but the location where he fell from the cave in the Secret Realm was in the woods far away from here. Is the "very small place" Ali mentioned a bit too big?
He told Ali this doubt, and Ali frowned slightly: "No wonder, theoretically, the larger the range of the secret realm, the slower the speed of fusion. This range is definitely not a small secret realm. We have to prepare to wait here for about a week."
Then Ali began to worry. Danshui and food were already bottoming out, and the dry food in the emergency bag was not enough for two people and four elves to eat for how long.
Fortunately, as a water-type elves, a warrior can condense a small amount of water from the air, and can also rely on the instinct of the water-type elves to find nearby water sources. As long as it finds the water source, food will not be a problem.
After all, having a water source means fish, and wild animals that go to drink water can be caught and roasted for food.
You can also go to the woods mentioned by Quartz to collect wood and fruits. After all, it is very important to survive in the wild.
Unfortunately, the world did not meet the wish, Ali forced himself to instruct the warriors to find water nearby. It went out to search among the stone forest for a long time but found nothing. It seemed that there was no water nearby.
Ali originally planned to let it go to the forest to take a look, but Quartz volunteered to say that he could go to the forest to look with the fire dinosaurs, and that the armored warriors would rest near the camp and protect Ali who was injured and inconvenient.
Naturally, he didn't want Quartz to take this risk, but the current situation is that he is the one who should be taken care of. The armored warrior has been fighting at high intensity since he entered the secret realm. If he exhausted it, as the highest combat power of the team, everyone would be finished.
Therefore, if you want to survive here, a reasonable division of labor is necessary.
