"Xi'er?" Lu Guizhou gritted his teeth and wanted to stand up.

Shen Muxi hurriedly supported Lu Guizhou, "Can I go?"

"Yes!" Lu Guizhou panted, every step he took would involve the wound on his back, the pain made him sweat, but fortunately Shen Muxi helped him, and the two walked slowly towards the bright place.

It was dark all around, and the feet were full of rocks. Shen Muxi felt that this place should be a grotto or something, but the specific terrain and landforms were not clearly visible to the naked eye, so he could only move forward by feeling.

It wasn't until he approached the bright place that Shen Muxi realized that there was a person sitting there. There was a fire next to it. The fire was not too bright, but it was enough to warm his numb body in this gloomy and cold place.

"Who are you?" Shen Muxi asked.

The man sat by the fire, lowered his head and threw the sticks into the fire, and finally raised his head when he heard the question.

Shen Muxi was taken aback. This man was wearing a dead wood-colored mask, which completely covered his face. A pair of black eyes were exposed in the firelight, staring straight at her. In this dark and cold place, , looked particularly weird and terrifying.

Clutching his beating heart, Shen Muxi didn't know how to react for a moment.

Lu Guizhou immediately stood in front of Shen Muxi, out of politeness, he bowed to the man, "I accidentally fell from above, do you know the way out? If you can give me some pointers, I will be very grateful."

The man didn't speak, and still repeated the action of throwing the firewood into the fire, pretending that the others were nothing but air.

Seeing this, Shen Muxi and Lu Guizhou looked at each other in blank dismay, the atmosphere was rather awkward.

"This hero?" Shen Muxi looked at his attire, he was wearing a long gown with a cloth belt around his waist, without any accessories on his body, only a sword was placed next to him, he should be a man in the world.

The man responded, but he only glanced at her, and still didn't speak.

"Dare to ask the hero, how do I get out?" Shen Muxi said cautiously, "My friend was injured and urgently needed to be sent to the hospital for treatment. I would like to ask the hero to help me. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level plan." Buddha!"

I don't know if he was moved with compassion, the man grabbed the sword and left, before he said coolly, "Follow!"

"Thank you, hero!" Shen Muxi picked up Lu Guizhou and followed behind the man.

But the man walked too fast, Lu Guizhou was injured, and he was already sweating profusely after walking a certain distance, he couldn't walk anymore.

"Hero!" Shen Muxi was anxious, "Can you slow down?"

The man turned a deaf ear and didn't know where he went in a blink of an eye.

"Xi'er, you go first! I'll find someone to save me after I get out, I really can't walk here!" Lu Guizhou was dying, and he couldn't even speak, "Hurry up and follow him, get out..."

"I don't know where this is. If you are left here alone, what if you encounter danger?" Shen Muxi refused to leave, "Don't panic, I believe we will be able to get out."

She supported Lu Guizhou and sat down on the stone wall, while she groped along the stone wall with her hands, trying to find out what the terrain was like.

Suddenly, Lu Guizhou groaned in the darkness.

"Brother Lu?" Shen Muxi turned back in shock.

Caught off guard by the bright light, Shen Muxi quickly closed his eyes in shock. When she was finally ready to adapt, she slowly opened her eyes, but was stunned by the scene in front of her.

Lu Guizhou accidentally opened a stone door. The thick stone wall turned out to be hollow inside, hiding another world. Like a secret room, the stone platform in the room is burning with flames, making it as bright as day.

"What... is this place?" Shen Muxi helped Lu Guizhou up.

The upper part is the snake lair, and the lower part is the secret room

Who the hell opened such a place here

The walls are covered with strange patterns: the outer ring of a pentagram, the inner lining is accompanied by an unknown flower pattern, and the center is an open eye.

"How did you open it?" Shen Muxi asked.

Lu Guizhou shook his head, "I just leaned on it, and I don't know what mechanism I touched. It might have been opened like this. What kind of patterns are these? Is there any special meaning? It doesn't look like a Buddha seal."

Shen Muxi only thought it was evil, so he dragged Lu Guizhou out, "Don't look, we'll leave right away, let's go!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he retreated to the door, Lu Guizhou's "Wow", directly frightened Shen Muxi until his face turned pale. Not knowing where the strength came from, Shen Muxi pushed Lu Guizhou and ran out of the secret room. As soon as the two of them went out, the stone door behind them closed heavily.

"Go! Go!" Regardless of the pain, the two walked forward in the dark as if fleeing for their lives.

Behind him, something quickly rushed into the crevice of the stone and disappeared.

There was finally a bright light in front of it, and the shouts of the yamen servants were faintly mixed in.

"Liu catcher!" Shen Muxi responded loudly, "Liu catcher, we are here!"

A faint light leaked in from the cave, Lu Guizhou stared at her smiling face, raised the corners of his lips unconsciously, his eyes were extremely soft.
