Why don't you let them step on it? Is it dangerous? Horrible?

What exactly is in the painting?

The adventurers gathered around Mr. Michelle and asked for answers, but Mr. Michel raised his face, squeezed his mouth, and refused to answer any questions about the painting like a clam shell. He called the hotel manager and pointed to his friends and said:

"Do your best to entertain my little guests. Although such a strange and terrible event has happened, the original intention of enjoying the holiday is almost impossible, but I still hope they can get the best service."

"Little guests," after the order, Mr. Michelle turned to look at Duoduo. "It's a pity that I didn't bring you a happy holiday, especially Duoduo, who also implicated your father, which is what I don't want to see anyway. I don't know how to express my apologies. Please wait patiently. Even if I give my life, I will bring the teaching assistant and Edward back to the world. Mr. Michelle's eyes flashed firmly, and he turned around and was ready to leave.

Seeing that he was leaving, he was so anxious that he rushed up and opened his arms to block him: "Are you going to the place in the painting? Take me with you! I want to save my father!" Let's go, Mr. Michelle!" Take Uncle Ben with you wherever you go!" Please take me with you..." Wow! Wow!"

The friends rushed up and gave full play to the advantages of children. They jumped and shouted around Mr. Michelle and kept asking. Everyone is a collective, and they can't let one more person be involved in danger!

Entangled by everyone, Mr. Michelle looked at a pair of eagerly eager bright eyes, held Duoduo's shoulder with a wry smile, and said solemnly, "Son, you don't understand that this place is a forbidden place for human beings, not human beings, only for the devil!" Yes, I don't understand, so please explain it, Mr. Michelle!"

Duoduo is very persistent.

Mr. Michelle sighed helplessly: "Then I'll tell you. I believe you will give up after hearing it. You have all heard of the mysterious places such as the Bermuda Triangle, the Egyptian pyramids, and the sinking Great West.

The point is that they are all located at 30° north latitude. This is a foggy and strange latitude, which spans several ancient countries with a long history and the birthplace of some mysterious legends. Near this latitude, there have been countless disappearances, and all kinds of bizarre events that cannot be explained by science have emerged one after another, and the place that Edward instructed me to go to is called 'Devil's Valley', where there have been many puzzling cases! Just like the case at 30° north latitude, the nearby residents are away from it.

Mr. Michelle lowered his eyelids and said sadly, "My wife was killed there. No one knows why she went to that place. When people found her body, her skin and flesh were all gone, leaving only a bare and clean skeleton. No one can explain what's going on. At that time, the report said, "That could only be a terrible thing done by the devil!" Therefore, I can get involved in the risk by myself. I absolutely don't agree with you children to go!"

"Wheth it's a rumor or a report, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it!" Mo Duoduo looked directly at Mr. Michelle and did not flinch, "I'm DODO.

The members of the adventure team have experienced many dangerous adventures. I am not a coward. In any case, I have to find my father and uncover the secrets of the crystal skull and the dead country. This is the pride of being a puzzle solver certified by the World Adventure Association!"

"That's right, I'm not afraid!" The most timid Tingting said, "After so many adventures with everyone, I'm getting more and more brave."

"Haha, my tiger shark will use the peerless magic skill 'Ninth Radio Gymnastics' to protect you!"

"I invented... a lot of props, which will... be useful."

" Wow! Wang Wang!"

The three friends responded one after another, and even Charlie barked, as if to cheer everyone up.

"Tak us here, Mr. Michelle. We will help you and won't cause you any trouble! Take us there, or we will sneak behind!" My friends are soft and hard.

When Mr. Michelle saw that the dissuasion was ineffective, several children even said what they secretly followed. Thinking that instead of letting them follow him safely, it would be better to take them in person, he had to shake his head helplessly and agree to the children's request.

"Oh yeah! Pack up the equipment! Get ready to go!" Thank you, Mr. Michelle!"

The group immediately packed their bags and set out for Devil's Valley.

Devil's Valley is located in the valley to the west of the resort. After everyone supported each other to climb a steep mountain, at a glance, they saw that on the vast turquoise plain, a long silver-lighting river pierced the lakes like broken diamonds, and inserted into the depths of the valley in the distance like a sharp sword.

"Walk along this river and you can enter Devil's Valley." Mr. Michelle wiped off his sweat and pointed to the foot of the mountain and said, "So this river is called the "Styx River of Unreturnable Death" by the locals."

"Is this the Styx River of Death?" The river in front of him was nothing special. Duoduo was secretly relieved. Maybe the legend of Devil's Valley was just a scary rumor.

Everyone quickly went down the mountain and went in the direction of the river. The turbulent river hit the protruding brown rocks, smashing snow-white crystal splashes. The sun is warm, the white clouds are longe, and the oncoming breeze is mixed with the unique fragrance of flowers and plants in the south.

If everyone hadn't had the mission of breaking through the Devil's Valley to save people and solve mysteries, it would really be like a team going on an outing. Unfortunately, everyone is not interested in enjoying the scenery now.

As he walked, a strong sense of dizziness came to his face. Duoduo's body shook and almost fell down. He thought it was his own illusion, but the deeper he went to the bottom of the valley, the feeling of nausea and dizziness became stronger and stronger. It seemed that dozens of pounds of stones were tied to his legs, and his footsteps became heavier and heavier. Later, it was very difficult to even take steps.

This is not only his own problem. The three friends around him also have the same feeling as Mr. Michelle. Even Charlie lowered his head, and the boy trembled forward. It was not easy to take a small step!

The surrounding scenery is gradually becoming terrible. It's too strange. This Devil's Valley is really a forbidden area for human beings! Even the trees in the valley grow so unusually. They are all twisted and bent, black, old-fashioned and servile.

He bent his knees and lowered his head, as if he was deeply afraid of something... like a servant who always obeyed the devil's orders.

"Wow...ah" Duoduo, who was out of breath and dizzy, suddenly changed his face. Oh, my God, he's right. Is this river flowing on the ground? Why is the river so close that it seems to stick to the bridge of his nose? The turbulent river splashed with cold splashes, and more and more was splashed all over his face, proving that everything was not his illusion...

"It's so weird. Are we really standing on the ground now? Or have we entered the alien space? Tingting's trembling voice came from behind.

The friends stared at the reflection of the river. At some point, each of their bodies unconsciously pressed against the river, almost a diagonal angle of 45°. And each of them clearly stood straight and began to twist his body. He tried his best to control his body backwards and wanted to return to his normal standing posture, but it was useless. An invisible force pressed his back hard and pressed him to the ground...

"'Demon's Hand' • This, is this... • The legendary 'Demon's Hand'?!" Fuyou suddenly stammered.

"What the hell are you talking about!" The tiger shark looked at Fuyou dissatisfiedly. Other people's faces turned white in an instant, and Tingting shivered and remembered the legend told by Mr. Michelle:

"...It's very difficult to get to Mitland. People must cross the river of death, escape the devil's hand, and pass through the bleeding eyes...

The devil's hand? Is the invisible force that suppresses their bodies the legendary hand of the devil? Is the invisible devil's hand on their back now?

Take off the devil's hand and pass through the bleeding eyes...

Duoduo couldn't help turning his head and looking behind him-

The dry and charred branches stretched in the dark sky behind them, like the devil's fingers!

"Calm down, everyone! We don't need to panic. It's just strange terrain, full of mystery, and we haven't encountered any danger yet, have we?" Charlie spoke in a Duoduo voice to encourage the group of confused children.

"I'm sorry," Mr. Michelle's sad voice came. "It's all Edward's fault, which put Duoduo's father in danger and made you have to face such a terrible thing!" No, it's not terrible!" Thinking of Dad's gentle eyes and encouraging smile,

Cheer up more, "The more strange it is, the more it means that we are on the right way!" Let's go!" The tiger shark roared and rushed forward two steps.

The adventurers cheered up and encouraged each other, and continued to move forward carefully at the risk of being swallowed up by the river at any time. Fortunately, they soon came to the end of the valley, but it was disappointing that there was a "dead end" in front of them!

The three-sided cliffs tightly blocked their way, and a huge waterfall flew down from the cliff, blocking the road.

Seeing this scene, Charlie shook his beard and said in Duoduo's voice through the bow tie:"It's strange here. Who can tell me why the water is gone?"

"It looks like the water has been swallowed up by the devil!" Duoduo suddenly said.

His self-talking behavior attracted Mr. Michelle's sideways, but the exclamations of other children made his eyes turn to not far away again. After the river was crossed with the waterfall, a huge vortex was formed, and the vortex was constantly devouring the surrounding water, like the devil's open mouth of blood!

"No, Duoduo! Don't go near there!" With the approach of Mo Duoduo, the invisible magic hand showed strong power again, and Duoduo felt that his whole body was pushed to the fast-spinning vortex.

"Help--" shouted more.

A big hand reached out in time. The tiger shark gritted his teeth and pulled it hard before pulling Dodo back. Duoduo sat on the ground and patted his chest with lingering palpitations.
