Global Exploration: Starting from Decrypting Chernobyl

70: Colorful statues! The stone wall above the head!”Where are you looking?”

Zhang Meng excitedly grabbed Wu Tian’s arm and pointed her finger towards the distant, dark riverbank.

”Did you see it?”

”What is it?”

Wu Tian was a bit confused.

”Ah...”

”It’s right there, did you see it? It’s that indented rock face, next to the two dark figures!”

”Did you see it?”

”Huh?”

Wu Tian scratched his head.

”I can’t see anything from this angle, what are you talking about?”

”...”

”Come on!”

Zhang Meng immediately rolled her eyes and directly pulled Wu Tian in front of her, pointing hand-in-hand at the two dark figures in the darkness.

”There!”

”Did you see it now?”

”...”

”Mm!”

Wu Tian nodded, then turned back to look at Zhang Meng a little embarrassedly, saying with a grin.

”I see it, but...”

”I always feel like there’s something cushioning my back!”

”Hiss...”

”What delicious food are you hiding in your arms?”

”...”

”Damn it!”

Zhang Meng’s cheeks quickly flushed red.

”Get lost!”

”...”

The fatty had just finished wiping the water off himself when he looked up and saw this scene, and he immediately felt a bit unwell.

If he didn’t know how to swim... he would have wanted to dive into the water to escape this unbearable reality!

He sighed.

”Alas...”

The fatty said in despair.

”I really want to escape, but I can’t...”

”What a sin!”

...”Hahahahaha, I really want to escape, but I can’t. I have to say, it’s precisely because of this environment that I, the fatty, seem particularly pitiful!”

”Wuwuwu...”

”Protect my most unlucky fatty, no one is allowed to bully her!”

”Her?”

”Brother upstairs, press F to enter the tank for more info!”

”Jokes aside, brothers, did you see it?”

”There really are two dark figures in the direction Miss Zhang Meng is pointing!”

”Hiss...”

”Could that be the entrance to Peach Blossom Garden?”

”But...”

”Isn’t there supposed to be peach trees at the entrance to Peach Blossom Garden? Where are the promised peach trees? Where is the ’fragrant grass and beautiful, falling blossoms’?”

”This is a damn Peach Blossom Garden!”

”...”

”Cough cough...”

Wu Tian used a cough to cover his embarrassment, quickly putting on a serious expression and analyzing to Zhang Meng beside him.

”There are indeed two dark figures there, and...”

”They also seem to be two stone statues of people.”

”However...”

Wu Tian raised his eyebrows.

”Does this have anything to do with the two lines of poetry you just recited?”

”...”

”Uncultured!”

Zhang Meng glared at Wu Tian beside her, saying to him unhappily.

”Of course it does!”

”Row the boat quickly!”

”Once we get to shore and stand next to those two statues, you’ll understand everything!”

”I’m sure!”

Zhang Meng was full of confidence.

”This is the entrance to Peach Blossom Garden!”

”Alright!”

Wu Tian didn’t waste any more words, directly picking up the oars from the inflatable raft again, and with the fatty and Zhang Meng, the three of them rowed together, pushing the inflatable raft towards the shore... Splash!

Bang... With a soft sound, under the strenuous rowing of Wu Tian and the other two, the inflatable raft quickly approached the shore and docked in a small indentation.

After Zhang Meng and the fatty got off the boat, Wu Tian pulled down the forearm-thick hemp rope from the boat.

Then... Clang!

Clang clang!

Sparks flew!

Wu Tian picked up the yue king sword in his hand and with two slashes, he carved a protruding rock into a stone pillar.

He tied the rope in his hand to it.

”Slap!”

After all this was done, Wu Tian clapped his hands and then followed Zhang Meng and the other person.

”That’s good now...”

”Let’s go!”

”Hiss...”

The fatty watched Wu Tian’s series of actions, then exaggeratedly gasped, slowly extending a thumb towards Wu Tian!

”Boss... you’re so meticulous!”

”Why didn’t I think of tying up the inflatable raft?”

”As expected of my master, the older the ginger, the spicier it is!”

”Learned, learned!”

”Hehe...”

Wu Tian smiled coldly.

”You don’t learn what’s useful, but you’re quick to learn flattery!”

”Stop blabbering!”

”Hurry up and go!”

”Oh...”

...Under the dim moonlight above their heads, the three of them disembarked from the shore and walked inland along the riverbank... At first.

The space above their heads was quite wide.

But... when they approached the two statues not far away.

The rock formation above their heads sharply sloped downwards at a forty-five-degree angle, instantly compressing the space above Wu Tian and the other two’s heads.

A sense of narrowness.

Naturally arose!

”Rustle...”

Soon after, Wu Tian led the two behind him to a stop in front of the two statues!

Looking at the two life-sized sculptures in front of him, which appeared in various colors under the faint moonlight... Zhang Meng’s eyes sparkled with excitement!

”Indeed!”

”As I expected, these last two lines of poetry are indeed the key clues revealing the location of Peach Blossom Garden!”

”It’s just that...”

Zhang Meng glanced at Wu Tian, her eyes full of admiration.

”Most people wouldn’t dare to come to a place like this, and it would be even more impossible to discover it. Only you...”

”Could have such a crazy idea!”

”Hehe...”

Wu Tian smiled faintly.

”Isn’t this something anyone with hands can do?”

”Hurry up!”

”Look for any mechanisms here. It’s definitely not normal for a wall to be behind these damn statues!”

”There must be a secret door!”

According to the tropes of adventure novels, Wu Tian was certain!

There must be a mechanism here!

”Mm.”

Zhang Meng nodded, then her eyes darted around. While reciting the lines of poetry, she reached out and began to caress the two statues in the darkness.

”Holding a sword...”

”Riding a steed?”

”Wielding a ghost feather!”

”Golden belt... linked... restraining... battle robe!”

”Something’s not right!”

Suddenly!

Zhang Meng, who was caressing the statues, frowned and unconsciously bit her nails as she looked at the statues in front of her.

”Sword, ghost feather blade, golden belt, and battle robe are all there!”

”Steed!”

”Where is the mount beneath him?”

”Why is this one thing missing?”

”...”

”Could it be...”

The fatty, with his wet head, interjected.

”The space here is too small, the horses wouldn’t fit, so they didn’t carve horses beneath them?”

”Impossible...”

Wu Tian chuckled, about to refute.

The fatty’s luck attribute once again played a role. As the fatty said, if you observe carefully, it’s not hard to notice that the heads of these two statues are pressing tightly against the cliff above, and their feet also seem to be buried in a mechanism cave!

Try pushing them hard!

Peach Blossom Garden is close at hand!

Strength +10!

”Impossible... no, that’s not right!”

Wu Tian said with a straight face, without blushing or a pounding heart, in front of the bewildered fatty.

”I think your idea is very forward-thinking!”

”Not bad!”

”You’re improving!”
