Hearing what Zhao Mengru said, Chen Lin's face turned dark and he hurriedly ran away with her.
After switching several channels in succession, he slowed down.
"You are really brave. You dare to pretend to be Zhao Canghai's granddaughter. If this gets out, aren't you afraid that Zhao Canghai will punish you? And where did you get the flowing light bracelet? The mark on it should be the unique mark of the Zhao family, otherwise Ma Yu would never believe it."
Chen Lin looked at the other party and said in shock.
"cut!"
Zhao Mengru curled her lips.
"Who is Zhao Canghai? How could he come to see me? As for this bracelet, it does have the Zhao family's mark on it, but it's not a flowing light bracelet. I was just kidding."
Chen Lin was stunned.
This girl is really not an ordinary person. He had misjudged her before.
Thinking of this, he immediately asked suspiciously: "Then you said you were from the foundation-building family in Pingyang City, which was also a lie. Also, your name is not fake, right?"
Zhao Mengru curled her lips and said, "Why do you have to distinguish between true and false? I don't believe that Chen Shuangmu is your real name, and you are wearing a disguise mask!"
She smiled again and said, "As for the foundation-building family, I didn't lie. Our family was indeed a foundation-building family before, but it's fallen into decline now. However, we still have some connections in Pingyang City."
Chen Lin was completely speechless.
This woman doesn't tell the truth at all.
He was willing to take the other person with him just so that he could use the other person's identity to act conveniently in Pingyang City after he got out, but he didn't expect it was all fake.
But what the other party said made some sense. In such a dangerous place, except for those with strong backgrounds or strong personal strength, most of them were hiding their identities, including himself.
No one should say anything about anyone else.
As if she had seen through Chen Lin's thoughts, Zhao Mengru immediately said, "I just saved your life, and you wasted a high-level talisman of mine, and even offended the Ma family because of it. You can't be ungrateful and abandon me!"
After saying that, she suddenly revealed a mysterious look and whispered, "And I know a place that might be the exit. I came from there!"
"What!"
Chen Lin was shocked.
But he immediately asked suspiciously: "What you said is true. Since you know how to say it, why didn't you say it before?"
He couldn't believe what the other party said, a mixture of truth and lies.
"Because I'm lost!"
Zhao Mengru said as a matter of course.
Seeing Chen Lin's expression turn ugly again, she immediately continued: "But now I have figured out the direction. This is the mark I left before!"
After saying that, he pointed to the side.
Chen Lin followed the other party's instructions and saw a mark of a special shape with an arrow on the rock wall.
"Follow this sign to get to the exit? Can you remember the way?"
Chen Lin still didn't quite believe it. He kept marking things himself, but he became more and more confused.
Zhao Mengru nodded affirmatively.
"Of course, because this place is not far from that place. Look at the mark I left. There is a three on it, which means this is the third mark I left. We only need to go through two more passages to reach there."
Then she said with a look of fear: "But I only said it might be the exit, I'm not completely sure, and there are a lot of red shadow monsters there. If I take you there, you can't abandon me!"
"Red shadow monster?"
Chen Lin raised his eyebrows and said, "No problem, if it's just that kind of red shadow, I can protect you."
With the jade talisman, the red shadow that others feared like a tiger could not threaten him.
Now that he had a goal, Chen Lin moved forward under the guidance of Zhao Mengru.
After turning two passages, Zhao Mengru suddenly grabbed Chen Lin and pulled him to a very hidden corner, signaling him to check carefully.
Chen Lin was stunned, and as the other party instructed, he stuck his head out. He then felt his vision widen and a huge space appeared before his eyes.
After just one look, he retracted his head into the passage, his face pale.
"Why are there so many red shadow monsters? Are you sure the exit is here?"
Chen Lin looked unhappy.
There was nothing else in the empty space ahead. It was filled with densely packed red shadow monsters, probably hundreds of them.
This is entering the lair.
With so many monsters floating back and forth, the entire space was mapped to red. Not to mention humans, even a fly flying over would be hit.
He also discovered that there were already quite a few corpses on the ground in this open area, and each of them had died in a very tragic way.
Some of the corpses were incomplete, probably because they were possessed by the red shadow and killed each other. Others seemed to have been sucked dry and turned into mummies.
Zhao Mengru shrank back and said, "It's here. I was at this place when I was teleported here. There were quite a few people there at that time. Although most of them either died or fled into the passage over here, there were still a few strong ones who rushed up from the stairs over there. Later I observed that those people did not come down after they rushed up the stairs, so it is very likely that there is a passage."
"Stairs?"
Chen Lin carefully poked his head out a little and took a look.
Sure enough, on the other side of the space, there was an inconspicuous staircase. Only a part of it could be seen, and it was impossible to guess what was on it.
He frowned. If he wanted to go up from that staircase, he had to pass through the entire area covered with red shadows. Even if he had the jade talisman, he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to get through.
After all, his jade talisman consumes energy, and once the energy is exhausted it will shatter.
With so many red shadows rushing up together, the consumption of the jade talisman must be huge, and he may not have time to pick up the granular crystals to replenish the jade talisman.
Pulling his head back, Chen Lin asked in confusion: "What's so special about this place? Why are all these red shadow monsters gathered here?"
Zhao Mengru shook her head. "I don't know either, but there must be something attracting them. I think the answer should be on those stone steps."
Chen Lin frowned and began to think of a solution.
Suddenly, a light sound of footsteps was heard.
The two looked at each other and immediately pressed their bodies against the rock wall.
However, the location chosen by Zhao Mengru was very hidden and clever. It was not connected to the passage, but an independent depression. As long as they did not go out, they would not be discovered.
But when they stuck their heads out, they could see the intersection of several passages and an open area with dense red shadows.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally a man and a woman appeared at the intersection of the passages.
Chen Lin's eyes flashed with surprise. It turned out to be Lu Zifeng and his young lady companion.
The two men looked very cautious. After coming out of the passage, they continued to move forward, and their direction was exactly that open area.
Then, the young woman let out a scream, and she and Lu Zifeng retreated quickly, obviously having seen the red shadow monsters.
However, although they retreated quickly, the sound still attracted the red shadow monster. A red light flashed, and the young woman became possessed and went crazy.
