Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

On the other side, Lilly and Blake had arrived at Apex Mountain.

Bettany was worried and wanted to see what kind of place Lilly was going to. So she followed Lilly as

well and treated it as a tour.

Apex Mountain was different from other mountains. The top of ordinary peaks was sharp, but the top of

Apex Mountain was like a cut-off tree stump. The top of the mountain was a large plain.

Its peak was more than 3 thousand meters long and wide, and it looked like a table in the mountains

from a distance.

There were lush trees on the top of the mountain, tens of thousands of acres of virgin forest, more than

3 thousand types of vegetation, and more than 400 kinds of precious animals. It was like another world

with its unique and independent ecosystem.

There was a hilltop lake on the top of Apex Mountain and traces of human arrival. The houses beside

the hilltop lake were for tourists to rest and stay temporarily.

There was a Lake of Confusion about 1 thousand meters east of the hilltop lake, and that was the place

Lilly wanted to go to.

Hugh and Bettany stayed here temporarily while Blake and Lisa took Lilly to Lake of Confusion.

Anthony stayed and waited. He watched Lilly enter the car and reminded her, “Be careful. Come back if

it’s too difficult.”

Lilly nodded while lying on the car window and waving to Anthony, Hugh, and Bettany. “Don’t worry. I’ll

be back soon!”

Bettany waved along and then watched Blake’s SUV gallop out. She felt worried.

She always worried that Lilly would never come back like last winter.

Anthony saw through her mind and said, “Don’t worry. The child will always go out when she grows up.”

Bettany muttered, “Lilly hasn’t grown up yet. Forget it. I wonder if we can cook here. I’ll go and see…”

…

Lilly looked at the scenery outside the window and took a deep breath, only feeling that the air was

cool.

The car drove for a long time, but Lilly felt she had seen the same scenery.

“It looks like we’re driving in place,” Lilly said.

Blake said, “Although the top of the mountain here is flat, there are hills. The vegetation on the hills is

the same, so they all look the same. From a scientific point of view, you’ll feel the scenery is the same

wherever you go in Lake of Confusion. People have the illusion of always going around in place, and

it’s easy to get lost.”

In addition, it was a disordered magnetic field, and the compass did not work from time to time. So

inexperienced people were confused.

Lilly asked, “Won’t you get lost?”

Blake said, “I have a compass in my mind. If you encounter a place like the Lake of Confusion, you

only need to find a way to determine a direction so you won’t get lost. Understand?”

Lilly nodded. But what she wanted to know more about was what Blake had just said.

“How do you install a compass in your mind?”

Blake laughed and explained. “It’s a metaphor. I’m super powerful. I can tell the difference between

directions with a glance.”

Lilly praised, “You’re amazing! How did you do it?”

Blake motioned her to look at the trees on the road. “Just look at the tree crown. Generally speaking,

the tree crown facing south will be larger, and the leaves will be denser and lusher. This method has

too many factors. It’ll be more accurate if you can find a stump because the annual rings of the tree

stump are wide on the south side and narrow on the back. If there’s a watch, the hour is half-pointed to

the sun, and noon refers to the north.”

Lilly frowned slightly. “Uh… This method is beyond my knowledge!”

Blake giggled.

“I only teach you the methods. Sometimes what science can’t explain, metaphysics can explain.

Conversely, if you can’t solve problems with metaphysics, try using science.”

Lilly listened carefully and nodded repeatedly. Lisa stared out the window without saying a word.

Blake continued, “Apart from looking at trees and watches, you can also look at the North Star or

accord to the sun rising and setting.”

He did not think it worked. The place where Lilly went might not have the sun and the North Star.

Blake taught Lilly how to identify directions and soon arrived at the Lake of Confusion.

The place was full of fog all year round. Lilly got out of the car and suddenly felt dizzy.

“If it weren’t for the car parked there, I wouldn’t even know my way,” Lilly said.

If she went further, the SUV would no longer be visible in the thick fog, and she would lose her way.

Blake led Lilly inside. “Think about what I just taught you.”

Blake gave Lilly practical lessons while walking.

Lake of Confusion was the connection between the mortal world and the underworld. Usually, only the

soul could go to the underworld, but people could go there from the Lake of Confusion.

That was the place Lilly and Blake were looking for.

Lilly watched Blake take out a map he had drawn. He had marked it in several places.xo.com fast

She asked, “Why don’t we go to these places?”

Blake answered, “Leslie has explored these places. These aren’t the entrances.”

Lilly shook her head. “Is it possible he was too useless and couldn’t enter?”

Blake was stunned. Lilly was right.

“You’re right. Let’s go to these places first.”

There were signs, so it was easy to find. Today they would go to explore those places. If they could not

find the entrance, they would go back first.

Lilly, Blake, and Lisa set off again according to the most likely entrances marked by Leslie.

The strange thing was that Lisa did not seem to get lost.

“Aunt Lisa, this way… Where are you going?” Lilly grabbed Lisa’s clothes.

Lisa stared in one direction. “This way!”

Lilly suddenly realized. “Yes, this way!”

Blake felt surprised. Lisa was a descendant of a witch god and was born with a natural sensitivity to

spirit mine and evil energy vein.

He immediately changed direction. Lisa was in the front while holding Lilly’s hand, and Blake was in the

back.

Soon, they reached a cliff. Lisa pointed down. “Here!”

Blake looked at the map. It was one of the suspected entrances marked by Leslie.

What he recorded was that the entrance was halfway up the cliff. It took him a month to find the way

down the cliff, and he needed to use ropes.

“Come on, Lilly! Let’s go down this way.”

Blake took Lilly and Lisa down to half of the cliff smoothly.

In the middle of the cliff, there was a huge hole. It looked like a giant once slashed at it with a knife.

Lilly stared at the entrance. She already felt a familiar aura that she had never sensed before.

“Is this the entrance to hell?” Blake murmured.
