A bottomless staircase extends into the darkness, and torches are lit on both sides of the dirt wall. Under the secret passage, it seemed that some monster was opening its mouth, waiting for the arrival of outsiders.
After descending into the secret passage one after another, the statue slowly moved back and sealed the exit.
Stepping on the steps, the sound of breathing echoed empty in the secret passage.
After going down the stairs, there is a flat tunnel in front of you. The tunnel is not very spacious, but it can accommodate five or six people in a row. The deeper the crowd went, the more they heard some unspeakable strange sounds that became clearer and denser. Those voices were ethereal and strange, as if they came from the underworld, and they must not be human voices, but they made people unable to distinguish the voices of animals.
Shi Jin held the feather arrow and said, "Isn't this the monster's lair..."
At the end, there is no way in front of you, there are only two roads left and one right. Obviously, this time we have to divide our troops into two ways.
Shi Jin said unwillingly: "I said, can't we really choose a path to go together?? This place is gloomy and scary, like a maze, in case there is any chance—"
Before he could finish speaking, the tunnel suddenly swayed, Shi Jin hurriedly slapped his mouth and said, "Bah, bah, crow's mouth, crow's mouth, I punish myself, I punish myself!!"
Xuan Ziyuan pulled Tang Zhuo and said, "Let's go!"
Stones fell from the top of the tunnel. In the chaos, several people were scattered. You went left and I went to the right. There was no tacit understanding, and you ran away. Xuan Ziyuan subconsciously ran to the left, but Tang Zhuo actually wanted to run to the right at the moment when the tunnel swayed. Fortunately, Xuan Ziyuan took the initiative to pull him, otherwise the two might part ways.
It stopped after a while. Tang Zhuo said: "There are no stones on the ground in this tunnel, and two people came in before us, which means that it is not the one who will drop the stone. Why did it fall this time?"
Shi Yichen glanced at Shi Jin and walked aside, Shi Jin followed out of breath, raised his hand weakly and said, "Yes... it's me... I wanted to see if there was any mechanism, and saw a bump on the ground. I stepped on it from the beginning, and I didn’t expect…”
"… "
However, it is gratifying that the four did not get separated. Tang Zhuo was dragged by Xuan Ziyuan and ran to the left. Shi Jin watched Tang Zhuo run to the left, so he dragged Shi Yichen to the left, but Xuan Zilin and Xuan Zikang were separated. The soldiers in the underworld were divided.
The four continued to walk along the tunnel for a while, and three roads appeared in front of them this time. Tang Zhuo asked, "What should I do now?"
Xuan Ziyuan said, "Choose a path to go."
Indeed, it would be too dangerous if they were separated again and walked alone or with two. Deciding to move forward, Shi Yichen and Shi Jin took a step first. Tang Zhuo had just entered when there was a sudden noise behind him. When he turned around, a wall suddenly rose up, blocking the road behind him!
Tang Zhuo was in chaos, clinging to the wall and shouting, "Ziyuan!"
Xuan Ziyuan's voice sounded faintly behind the wall, very calmly, and said, "I'm fine, you guys keep going."
Tang Zhuo said: "But where will you go alone!! We will break the wall and let you come over!"
After speaking, he pulled out the evil spirits and slashed at the wall. It was really strange and strange. The wall was so thick and hard that it couldn't be smashed with a spirit sword. Just as the spirit sword slashed against the wall with a "bang" sound, Xuan Ziyuan suddenly said, "...Listen!"
There was a sound of footsteps coming from Tang Zhuo and the others!
The three immediately took control of their swords and reached the top of the tunnel. At this time, a couple of Xuan's family escorted two civilians over and said, "This place is really built like a labyrinth. I walked ten times and got lost six times. Oh, why is there another wall here?"
"Forget it, let's go back. I really don't understand why Jian is so complicated, embarrassing himself." After speaking, he left.
The three fell back to the ground, and Tang Zhuo immediately slammed on the wall again, as if there was some magnetic force in the wall attracting him, and said: "Ziyuan, try to see if the silver luan can break open! Give it a try??"
Shi Jin couldn't stand it anymore, so he pulled him and said, "Okay, big spoon, brother Ziyuan can make peace with us by himself, so you really don't need to worry about it!"
Suddenly, a voice called out: "How did you get in??!!!"
The group of people suddenly came back!
They left one person to watch the two civilians, and the others rushed over with their swords drawn, and Shi Jin and Shi Yichen immediately shot with arrows. At this moment, there was a sudden loud noise, and the wall was actually smashed by Xuan Ziyuan from the other side. As the dust was flying, the dazzling spiritual light group in Xuan Ziyuan's palm slowly dimmed, Tang Zhuo's eyes lit up, he stepped on the broken wall and ran over to hug him and said, "It's great that you're fine!"
Xuan Ziyuan was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but smile slightly, put a hand on Tang Zhuo's back, and said, "... Of course I'll be fine."
Shi Jin rushed over while shooting arrows and said, "Run!!!"
Tang Zhuo quickly let go, and the four of them, like four mice, were chased by the Xuan family behind them and dashed back and forth in the tunnel. Xuan Ziyuan blew up an ice wall with his backhand, and the four of them had run to where, and finally got rid of the others behind.
Tang Zhuo's heart suddenly jumped wildly, and he had a bad premonition, and said, "Brother Zilin and Brother Zikang will not be caught, right?"
Sure enough, two blue shadows suddenly jumped out from a separate lane, followed by the few people who had just chased Tang Zhuo and the others, shouting: "??? Where did you all come from???!!!"
Xuan Ziyuan flew away with a sword, stirring up dust and choking the faces of those people. A few people quickly captured those people, and said fiercely: "Tell me! Where is the place where the prisoners are held?!"
Those few people didn't speak, it seemed that they would rather die than give in. Xuan Zilin couldn't bear it any longer, and said to those people with red eyes: "I don't think you deserve to be called 'senior' by me!! Why do you do such a thing??! Harm innocent people, don't you? Clear conscience?!"
One person said: "This is not our voluntary!! Don't you know that the half-human ghost is cruel and ruthless in the treatment of relatives and friends??! If we don't obey him, I am afraid that the next moment will be dead!"
Xuan Zikang said: "You tell us where people are locked up. You don't need to care about what happens later, and you don't need to know. It has nothing to do with you, and we won't tell you."
Several people looked at each other.
One person was silent for a while, moved his mouth, and said, "This is what you said. I have endured it for a long time. Every day I am locked in this town, it is going to get moldy, so you just keep walking along this tunnel, and then—"
Suddenly, the man got stuck.
In the next instant, countless black water poured out from his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears.
The rest of the people were stunned, and after a while, they all screamed and stepped back. These people were actually betrayed, and as long as they said something that betrayed Han, they would die on the spot!
Suddenly, a sharp arrow "swish, swish" shot from the tunnel. Tang Zhuo and the others ran while blocking, and the stunned Xuan family members were shot into holes on the spot.
The tunnel suddenly came to an end. What appeared in front of them, unexpectedly, was an entire underground forest!
