The herders were very familiar with the weather of Helan Mountain Range. It had been two days since the sun had risen. The strong sunlight shone across the mountain range in the morning.
Mo Fan stretched his back with a smile on his face.
He never thought cultivation could be so simple. How great would it be if Little Loach had reached such an adorable level in the first place? He would have become the youngest Forbidden Mage in the world, and he would have mastered several Forbidden Mages!
His Fire Element had reached the third-tier!
The Godly Flame Form was already Mofan's strongest ability. It could even take on some of the stronger Ruler-level creatures. Now that his Fire Element had reached its peak, and with the help of the Great Heavenly Seed and the Calamity Fire, and the connection between him and Little Flame Belle, he believed his Godly Flame Form would be comparable to the Demon Flame Goddess's Soul Shadow during the Calamity of the Ancient Capital!
He had even defeated the Mountain Zombie back then!
As such, Mofan's mood was as pleasant as the entire Helan Mountain Range being bathed in sunlight!
"What kind of wet dream are you having?" asked Mubai with a confused look.
Mo Fan touched his face and realized that his cheeks were indeed burning due to the excitement he was feeling.
He was trying to hide it a little longer, waiting for the right moment to show off. It turned out that it was so easy for him to express his joy on his face.
"The sky is clear now. Let's hurry up and find the Geyser Spring," said Mofan.
Song Feiyao woke up earlier than the two. She washed up with the clean water she had brought with her before coming out of the tent. She was most likely looking for a suitable angle to observe her surroundings.
When Mofan and Mubai found Song Feiyao, Song Feiyao seemed to have confirmed her location.
"Do you want me to give you a ride? I can fly very high," Mofan wanted to show off his black dragon wings.
"It's fine."
There was a green-red seed in Song Feiyao's palm that was constantly absorbing the sunlight. The seed slid down to the barren rock, but it quickly began to spread its strong roots under the rock.
After the roots were stabilized, a slender vine began to drill into the air like a small green snake.
The vines were very long, and Song Feiyao had no idea how high they were. Song Feiyao grabbed one of the vines with his hand, and flew up into the air along with the rapidly growing vines.
"This eco-friendly elevator is pretty impressive," commented Mofan.
The two of them then followed the vines that grew to the sky and flew into the air.
When they reached the same height as Song Feiyao, Mofan glanced in the direction of the markings on the rocks.
The drawings were all to the east of them. Mo Fan initially had no idea what they were looking at, but as his vision widened and his angle increased, Mo Fan was shocked to see the drawings slowly moving closer to each other!
Of course, the petroglyphs wouldn't move.
However, all the positions of the petroglyphs seemed to have been designed according to the shape of the entire Helan Mountain. The farthest petroglyph was very large and occupied the entire mountain wall of that area. However, because it was slanted from a high place, it just happened to touch the end of the petroglyph on the slope of the cliff nearby.
The rock painting on the left was actually engraved on the side of the mountain. From their current angle and height, the peak of this mountain also happened to touch the rock painting on the edge of the cliff.
In this way, due to the different heights, sizes, and positions of the mountains, the few rock paintings were combined together to form a complete mountain pass rock painting!
This kind of design, this kind of thinking, in Mofan's opinion, was simply too boring!
Of course, Mofan had to admit that the ancient people were very good at solving these fancy riddles. If Song Feiyao did not know about this kind of observation method, she would never be able to decipher the meaning behind it.
"The mountain pass is to the east. An underground tributary of the Yellow River flows into it, so even if it's covered by a few mountains, it doesn't affect the people living there," Song Feiyao said confidently.
The rock carvings clearly marked out the seclusion grounds of the Underground Holy Spring's guardian clan. It also marked out a special underground valley. This way, as long as they followed the water source, they could easily find the place they wanted to go.
"Are there still people living there?" Mubai suddenly thought of the question.
"I don't think that's possible. Bo City, Xiayu, and the Wei Ju Tribe have all been assimilated. Places other than Xanadu are basically connected to the internet," Mofan said.
"We'll know once we go in and take a look. Hopefully, these people haven't disappeared. Geyser Spring is very fragile without anyone protecting it," Song Feiyao said.
… …
They found the mountain pass. There was no river at the mountain pass. Instead, it formed a very obvious alluvial fan, like a completely dried up delta. This was not a rare natural phenomenon in the Helan Mountains.
Walking along the mountain pass that was full of gravel, those steep peaks were like heavenly gates that could topple over at any time, crisscrossing above their heads and in front of them. If one did not step into this place, all they would see was the danger of the peaks. Who would have thought that there was a path at the bottom? The sun shone in the morning, but in the afternoon, it would fall into darkness.
The path of the mountain pass was not stable. From time to time, large amounts of gravel and thick soil would slide down. Once the rainy season came, it was easy to imagine what kind of terrifying scene would appear here. Mud, rolling stones, and sand would rush down like a hundred beasts.
Fortunately, it had not rained recently.
The deeper they went, the easier it was to see traces of people living here. They could even see a few stone houses, standing alone beside the cliff. They looked like the outpost of the entire village, and people would be sent there to guard this important entrance.
However, the stone houses had long been abandoned. It was impossible to tell when they had been abandoned.
"The guardians of the Geyser Spring in the Helan Mountains seem to be particularly fond of rock paintings, murals, and topographic paintings. They are mostly drawn with human figures, movements, and postures." Mubai looked around and studied the place.
Whether it was on the ground or the cliffs on both sides of the mountain, one could see the chiseled "human" shape. This kind of chiseled shape was very interesting. It was like the footprints of a cat or dog that had accidentally stepped on the cement before it dried. Finally, their small footprints were left on the solid cement floor and walls forever...
Similarly, the human figures were the same. They had different sizes and postures. It was as if when the place was still being molded, many people had drawn all kinds of strange postures on the walls.
As a matter of fact, it was a kind of carving art. Most of the murals and sculptures were protruding, but they were sunken in here.
