As the four of them stood around the well and looked down, several Insect Men appeared outside the town.
They discovered that the town had become ruins, so the antennae on their heads trembled incessantly before they finally stepped into town.
At the same time, Owl decided to go down the well and investigate, while Sa clutched the corner of his clothes and insisted on following him. In the end, Owl surrendered helplessly.
The two slowly slid down the well rope, while Xiaoming and the other boy remained above the well to wait.
Half a minute later, the two landed in the well water, only to discover that it was merely a thin curtain of water, with another space beneath it.
"There really is treasure!" Owl perked up, thinking to himself.
Sa looked around in astonishment and discovered countless strange patterns on the well walls. She could not help saying, "Brother Owl, look at these patterns. They're so strange."
Only then did Owl notice the patterns on the well walls. He studied them carefully, yet could not make head or tail of them.
"These may be ancient writing," he guessed.
Sa was a little tired, and gripping the rope hurt her hands. She asked, "Brother Owl, how much longer until we reach the bottom of the well?"
"Let me take a look." Owl also realized that for a girl like Sa, even sliding down a well rope was no easy task, and immediately responded.
He lowered his head and looked down, only to find that the well water below was continuously spinning and giving off a faint glow. Starlight even flickered within the whirlpool-like water.
"I'm afraid it'll take a little longer. If you're really tired, you can stand on my shoulders and rest for a while," he said.
