This underground building is grand, but also very simple.
After all, it is clear from just looking at this extremely rugged and interconnected road that it could not have been built in a day. Perhaps because of various time costs, this secret passage is also very primitive, and there are actually no very dangerous traps along the way.
When Yuan Yuxue and the others came here, they didn't encounter any difficult obstacles except for the stone walls that blocked their way. The most difficult places were just a few narrow roads that required them to twist and turn to pass through.
However, the path that the mermaid mother pointed out to them now crossed a very ominous-looking body of water. Across the water was the normal gray rock road.
Countless blood-red liquids accumulated in the water, boiling continuously like viscous magma. Whether in appearance or smell, it exudes an extremely dangerous touch, making the players alert all over.
Yuan Yuxue felt that the aura of the person she was carrying seemed to be slightly weaker.
Her breathing slowed down slightly as if she was nervous. A sharp voice came from behind her, "... I don't remember this path. It seems that they have made some improvements to the escape route over the years."
Of course this is a lie.
She had always known that the most difficult part of this road leading to the outside world was the blood river in front of her. The senior with whom she had planned to escape was also left here because he was unable to cross the river.
For the continuation and safety of the race, she was afraid that the players would not be willing to pay such a price... so she concealed part of the truth - because she really could not pay such a huge price of letting the last chance of life slip away from her hands again.
Unconsciously, her wet and slightly scaly palm pressed on Yuan Yuxue's shoulder. The sticky feeling of her fingertips penetrated through the fabric of Yuan Yuxue's shoulder, bringing a strange chill.
Yuan Yuxue didn't say anything, he remained silent.
With her back straight and her slender fingers resting on the mermaid's huge and heavy tail, Yuan Yuxue nodded silently in the mermaid's extremely uneasy silence.
Yuan Yuxue thought that even after the scanning system, there seemed to be great changes in the genetic sequences of the "mermaid" and humans in front of her, but to some extent, they were still very similar.
For example, when he was lying, the breathing and heartbeat of the person on his back would become more rapid, and some hormones would be secreted rapidly. Yuan Yuxue was very insensitive to human emotions, but he could judge this kind of reaction similar to lying from various physiological data. After all, this allowed him to accurately judge the goals and reality of the mission when he was performing some missions in the past.
—But it doesn’t matter.
Yuan Yuxue actually didn’t quite understand what the point of concealing this was.
Whether there is a river or not, he will be responsible for bringing his mission target out intact.
After the "Mother Mermaid" spoke, Xiao Gao and the man in suit looked up, put down the mermaid on their bodies, and walked forward to test the substance in the blood river in front of them.
