Chapter 699: Grassland Garden

Deep in this grassland garden that has been forgotten by the world, Bai Ye leads the team and continues to explore this unknown and wonderful territory with gentle but firm steps. The sunlight seemed to be stretched softly by some mysterious force and sprinkled on this land, forming a strange white night scene. It was neither the brightness of day nor the darkness of night, but something in between. An intermittent, mind-numbing brilliance.

As they went deeper, the surrounding scenery became increasingly unreal. The colorful flowers are blooming one after another, but they seem to follow some unknown rules, intertwining into bizarre pictures. The air is filled with the fresh scent of flowers and grass, and occasionally you can catch a subtle hint of exotic fruit scent, tempting people to explore more unknown corners.

In this atmosphere of tranquility and fantasy, the soldiers' eyes were suddenly attracted by the scene in front of them - a towering tree stood impressively in the grassland, with a height of more than ten meters, as if it was specially designed by nature. The guardian established for this garden is solemn and sacred. The trunk of this big tree is so thick that it takes several people to hug it. Its surface is covered with mottled marks left by the years, recording the countless wind, frost, rain and snow it has witnessed. The luxuriant branches and leaves cover the sky and the sun, forming a natural shady place. A few dappled lights and shadows occasionally appear among the green leaves, adding a bit of mystery and tranquility.

The soldiers stopped one after another, and the sounds of amazement could not be heard. Some of them stared at the giant tree in disbelief with their eyes wide open, as if they had seen such a spectacular sight for the first time in their lives; some were talking in low voices, trying to learn from ancient legends or their own imaginations. Looking for the origin and meaning of this tree; what's more, I couldn't help but take a few steps forward, wanting to touch the rough bark with my own hands and feel the vicissitudes and power from ancient times.

However, apart from this exclamation, an inexplicable chill also quietly spread in the hearts of the soldiers. Although this tree is beautiful, it is so beautiful that it makes people feel awe, as if it is not just a tree, but a symbol of the secrets and dangers hidden in this prairie garden. Bai Ye stood at the front of the team, staring deeply at the big tree, with complex emotions also surging in his heart. He knew that the purpose of this expedition was not only to find legendary treasures or solve an ancient mystery, but more importantly, to face the unknown, challenge oneself, and protect those behind him who also had courage and dreams. soldiers.

"Everyone, be careful," Bai Ye's voice was low and powerful, interrupting the soldiers' discussion. "Although this tree is magnificent, it may also hide unpredictable dangers. We remain vigilant and continue to move forward, but remember not to act rashly. "

Upon hearing this, the soldiers quickly adjusted their posture, rearranged themselves into a defensive formation, and cautiously moved forward around Bai Ye. Every step they took seemed so cautious, as if they were on this magical grassland, and every step they took could lead to an unknown abyss.

As they gradually approached the big tree, a stronger smell hit their faces. It was a unique smell mixed with soil, leaves and some unknown plant. It was both fresh and tinged with a trace of imperceptible decay and decay. The soldiers' breathing became rapid. Their eyes showed both curiosity and fear, but more importantly, determination and persistence for unknown challenges.

Just then, a breeze blew by, and the leaves rustled, seeming to be whispering some ancient secret. Bai Ye and the soldiers' eyes coincidentally cast their gazes on the top of the big tree. Something seemed to be shaking slightly there, but it was difficult to see clearly because it was too far away. They looked at each other and knew in their hearts that this adventure had just begun, and what awaited them ahead would be more difficult and unknown challenges...

Bai Ye slowly raised a hand to signal the soldiers to stop. His eyes were fixed on the top of the big tree, where the breeze seemed to be blowing more gently, causing the leaves to dance lightly, as if to lure them to delve deeper. But Bai Ye knows very well that in this strange place, any slightest care may bring unpredictable consequences.

"We have to be careful." Bai Ye's voice was low and firm, and every word was clearly conveyed to the ears of the soldiers. He looked around and saw both tension and expectation on the faces of the soldiers. This complex emotion made him feel an inexplicable sense of responsibility. "Keep formation, let's get closer slowly."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately adjusted their formation, maintained a high degree of vigilance, and slowly approached the big tree. Their steps were light and powerful. Every step they took was on the grass, but they seemed to be stepping on the edge of an unknown abyss. The strange smell in the air became stronger and stronger, making people's nerves tense to the extreme.

As the distance shortened, Bai Ye finally saw clearly the thing at the top of the big tree. It was a strange, shimmering leaf. It was different, wider and greener than the surrounding leaves, and seemed to contain infinite vitality. Under the blade, there seems to be a small hole hidden. The hole is surrounded by circles of complex lines, like an ancient totem, exuding a faint fluorescence.

"What is this?" A soldier couldn't help but ask in a low voice, his voice full of doubts and curiosity.

Bai Ye didn't answer, just frowned and stared at the hole. There was an inexplicable premonition in his heart. Behind this cave entrance, the biggest secret of this prairie garden might be hidden. But at the same time, he also knows that this secret may be accompanied by great dangers.

"We have to go in and take a look." Bai Ye finally made a decision. He knew that as a leader, he had to take on this responsibility, no matter what was waiting for them ahead.

The soldiers heard this, although they were a little uneasy, but they nodded firmly. They knew that Bai Ye's decisions were never rash, and he always showed extraordinary courage and wisdom at critical moments.

Bai Ye took a thin rope from his waist, which he prepared specially for this expedition. He tied one end of the rope firmly to a thicker branch, and then climbed up the tree carefully. The soldiers stayed under the tree, watching the surroundings vigilantly to prevent any accidents.

Bai Ye's hands and feet were agile and powerful. He quickly climbed to the top of the tree and came under the strange leaf. He carefully observed the hole and found that the patterns around the hole seemed to echo some patterns in the grassland garden, which further strengthened his determination to explore.

He took a deep breath, then slowly stretched out his hand and gently touched the leaf. The leaves trembled slightly, as if responding to his touch. Then, he carefully explored the cave entrance.

The inside of the cave entrance was pitch black, and nothing could be seen. But Bai Ye relied on his keen intuition and years of combat experience to slowly grope forward. He felt a weak air flow blowing from the depths of the cave entrance, with an indescribable chill.

Suddenly, he felt the ground under his feet begin to shake, and then a strong force came from the depths of the cave entrance, pulling him in violently. He screamed, but it was too late. His body had lost control and was swept into the darkness by that force.

Seeing this, the soldiers screamed in surprise. They wanted to rush up to save Bai Ye, but the rope was limited in length and they could not reach the top of the tree at all. They could only wait anxiously and pray that Bai Ye would return safely.

And Bai Ye, at the moment he was swept into the cave entrance, only felt a blackness in front of his eyes, and then a dizziness like the world spinning. He tightly grasped the rope in his hand, fearing that he would lose his way in the dark. But the force was so strong that he couldn't resist it at all.

I don't know how long it took, but when Bai Ye opened his eyes again, he found himself in a completely different world. This is a dim underground space, surrounded by intricate stalagmites and stone curtains, like a huge maze. The rope in his hand had broken and scattered on the ground.

He struggled to stand up, looked around, and tried to find an exit. But there was nothing around except the dim light and the cold stone walls. He felt an unprecedented sense of despair and loneliness.

But Bai Ye knew that he couldn't just give up. He still had soldiers waiting for him to go back, and he still had unfinished missions and responsibilities. He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then began to look for a way out.

He walked slowly along the stone wall, using the weapon in his hand to push away the stalagmites and stone curtains that blocked the way. Every step was full of unknowns and dangers, but he did not retreat. He knew that only by bravely facing these difficulties and challenges could he find a way out and return to his world.

However, just when he was about to give up hope, he suddenly heard a faint voice. The voice seemed to come from a certain direction, although it was weak but extremely clear. He immediately followed the sound, hoping to find a ray of life.

As he continued to explore deeper, the sound became clearer and clearer. He finally came to a spacious stone chamber, in the center of which was an ancient stone platform, on which was inlaid a gem emitting a faint light. And the faint voice came from the gem.

He approached the stone platform and carefully observed the gem and found that it was slowly rotating and emitting a strange wave. This wave seemed to echo with some power in the grassland garden, making him feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

At this moment, the gem suddenly emitted a dazzling light that enveloped his entire body. He felt a strong force surging into his body as if to tear him apart. But he did not struggle or shout, but just closed his eyes tightly and let the force rage in his body.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that he had returned to the grassland garden. He looked around and found that the soldiers were anxiously waiting for him. They all cheered and rejoiced when they saw him return safely.

But Bai Ye had no time to celebrate his return. He was full of doubts and uneasiness. He knew that he had just experienced an incredible adventure and the secrets hidden behind the gem might be much more complicated than he imagined.

He stood there silently, staring at the distant sky as if thinking about some major problem. The soldiers surrounded him and waited quietly for his next instructions. They knew that Bai Ye could always make the right decision at the most critical moment to lead them out of trouble.

However, the situation this time seemed to be more complicated and dangerous than ever before. Bai Ye knew his responsibilities and missions. He must find the secret, solve the mystery of the prairie garden, and then lead the soldiers to leave here safely.

He took a deep breath and slowly turned around to face the soldiers. "We are not over yet." He said firmly, "There are more challenges waiting for us. But as long as we unite as one, nothing can stop us from moving forward."

The soldiers nodded in agreement.

Bai Ye's words were like an invisible force, inspiring the hearts of every soldier. They stood up straight, with determination and courage in their eyes, as if they were ready to meet all the challenges that followed. Bai Ye knew that this grassland garden was not only beautiful and mysterious, but also hidden countless dangers and unknowns. But it was these unknowns that inspired their desire to explore and tested their wisdom and courage.

"Everyone stay alert, let's keep moving forward." Bai Ye ordered briefly and forcefully, and then took the lead in embarking on the journey. The soldiers followed closely behind, with neat and powerful steps, their hearts full of curiosity about the unknown and desire for victory.

As they went deeper into the grassland, the surrounding scenery became more and more magnificent. The colorful flowers swayed gently in the breeze, as if cheering for their arrival. In the distance, flocks of birds soared in the blue sky, and their chirping sounds intertwined with the tranquility of the grassland, forming a beautiful piece of music.

However, in this tranquility and beauty, an uneasy atmosphere was also quietly spreading. Bai Ye was keenly aware of this, he stopped, looked around, and tried to find the source of the uneasiness. At this moment, a soldier suddenly pointed forward and shouted in horror: "Look! What is that?!"

Bai Ye looked in the direction of the soldier's finger and saw a group of giant bisons with huge bodies slowly walking towards them. The bodies of these bisons were almost as big as trees, with muscular bodies and a primitive wildness in their eyes. Their horns were like sharp scimitars, flashing cold light in the sun, which made people shudder.

Seeing this, the soldiers became nervous and clenched their weapons in their hands, ready to deal with the impending danger. Bai Ye knew that these giant bisons were not easy to deal with. Once they were angered, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Don't panic, stay calm." Bai Ye said in a deep voice, "We should not take the initiative to attack them and try to avoid their sight." He quickly formulated a strategy to lead the soldiers to bypass the group of giant bison.

Hearing this, the soldiers still had fear in their hearts, but they tried to restrain themselves and act according to Bai Ye's instructions. They carefully avoided the bison's sight, tried to keep a low profile, and slowly moved to one side.

However, the giant bison seemed to be aware of their presence, and their eyes began to become alert and hostile. One of the largest bison even let out a deafening roar, as if to declare the sovereignty of the territory to them.

The soldiers' hearts were in their throats. They knew that once the bison attacked, they would face an unprecedented fierce battle. But Bai Ye seemed particularly calm. He kept a close eye on the bison's every move, looking for an opportunity to break the dilemma.

After a while, the bison stopped showing their power, and Bai Ye was able to lead the soldiers through.
