This... is the entrance to the underground city
Xu Xin used the iron sword in his hand to scratch the door hard, but it didn't leave any marks on the door, only a harsh and unpleasant scraping sound.
Is this some special metal? If it was made of bronze, his blue-level iron sword would definitely be able to scratch the gate.
Besides, this entrance is too hard to find, isn't it? If he hadn't had an idea to follow the toad, who knows how long he would have spent in the maze and how many unknown dangers he would have encountered.
Xu Xin thought of the rules of this event.
All survivors who fail to find the entrance to the dungeon will leave this beautiful world forever.
Now it seems that even this first step may not be completed by many people.
He knew that the mysterious voice wouldn't be so kind.
Let him first tell everyone in the group how he found the entrance to the dungeon. It is too dangerous for him to explore alone. Helping others to enter can at least allow them to exchange experiences.
"Everyone, I found the entrance to the dungeon."
The explorer's heart immediately began to boil.
Wang Lei: "Fuck! Boss Xu got out of the maze so quickly? I'm still spinning in circles!"
Li Wenxi: "Ah? You obviously entered much later than me... I'm fw, I don't want to work hard anymore, hurry up, tell me how to find it!"
Ji Chaoyang: "You walked out? The passage on my side has become wider, maybe it's in front."
Xu Xin: "That should be correct. The right path is indeed very broad."
Wen Guixin: "How did you find it? I've been circling here and killed a lot of mutant animals."
Xu Xin told them his method.
Qin Yunlong: "There is an underground river underneath."
Li Wenxi: "So that's how it is. Oh, I should have left a monster behind earlier."
Zhao Xiaochuan: "But the mouse I encountered ran too fast. I couldn't catch it if I let it go..."
Wen Guixin: "How stupid! You won't let it get seriously injured. It would be better to injure its legs and then follow it. But the mouse may not lead to the right direction. It's better to find aquatic animals like Xu Xin did."
Xu Xin: "Well, I've told you everything I should tell you. Come on."
Xu Xin sent this experience to the regional channel and warned those people that finding a crack in the cave does not mean finding the entrance to the dungeon. One has to go through the crack maze inside to reach the entrance. At the same time, he also briefly explained the dangers in the maze.
As for how many people were still in the tree house and how many people could see it, that was none of his business.
Looking at the gate of the dungeon in front of him, Xu Xin first took out various fruits from his backpack to replenish his status. He spent a long time in the maze, and most of his positive status was gone.
Feeling energetic and strong again, Xu Xin reached out and grabbed the door handle.
"Coco, is there any danger behind the door?" Xu Xin turned sideways so that he was not facing the crack in the door in case something suddenly appeared inside.
"Hmm." Coco shook her head to indicate that she didn't feel any danger.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Xin used both hands to pull the door knocker outwards.
A teeth-grinding sound of metal friction was heard, and the door was slowly opened. Countless dust fell and scattered all over Xu Xin and Keke's faces.
"Puh, puh, puh!" Xu Xin swallowed a mouthful of ash, but did not stop his actions. Instead, he increased his strength and opened the door on one side to its limit.
An inexplicable stench emanated from the door. Different from the smell of the red mist, this smell was like a quilt that had been damp for a long time, a damp and moldy smell.
Xu Xin looked inside the door. Inside the door was a long stone staircase.
The stone staircase leads all the way down with no end in sight. The stairs are very damp and water drips from the rock wall above the staircase from time to time, making crisp sounds as it drips on the damp and water-filled stairs.
Both sides of the passage were built with flat gray stone bricks, and every few meters there was a candlestick-shaped device, which seemed to be used to illuminate the passage, but these candlesticks were not lit at this time, and the passage was still pitch black.
It looks like this staircase leads deep underground.
"Hmm..." Keke shrank back in fear. The dark environment, coupled with the damp and moldy smell and the sound of dripping water from time to time, was really creepy.
To be honest, after experiencing the underground world last time, Xu Xin also had a little fear of this kind of passage leading directly underground. He even thought, since he had found the entrance and would not die, why not just go back
Of course, this thought only lasted for a moment, and his curiosity and desire to explore the unknown overwhelmed his fear. The mysterious voice also said that the underground city was full of resources left by predecessors, and if these resources were obtained, the pressure of survival would definitely be greatly reduced.
After calming down, Xu Xin first threw a stone inside. After finding that there was no trap, he stepped into the door resolutely.
My feet stepped on the wet stairs, making a sound of stepping on water.
"The stairs here are too slippery. I have to be careful, otherwise I will fall and roll down. I won't be able to stop even if I walk down such a long staircase." Xu Xin walked carefully step by step.
Coco also saw Xu Xin's difficulties, jumped off his shoulders, and followed him down the stairs slowly.
Suddenly, there was a sound of wind coming from the depths of the stairs, and an orange-red fire suddenly lit up at the dark end of the passage.
"What's going on!" Xu Xin stopped vigilantly.
The orange-red flames spread upward from far below, and Xu Xin could see clearly that the candlesticks on both sides of the passage were being lit one by one!
Within a few seconds, the candlesticks on both sides of Xu Xin were lit, followed by a gust of damp and musty wind that almost blew Xu Xin backwards.
Then, there was the sound of a door closing with a bang behind me.
"嘤!" Coco was startled and hugged Xu Xin's calf.
"What's going on?" Xu Xin looked back hurriedly, and the door that he had originally opened was now tightly closed.
"The door is closed? I can't get out?" Xu Xin's eyelids twitched. He walked back to the door. There was no knocker on the inside of the door. Xu Xin could only use all his strength to push the door that had just been opened.
As he expected, the door that could be opened just now could not be pushed even a little bit by him.
"… This is going to cut off our retreat!" Xu Xin gritted his teeth and looked into the depths of the passage again.
In this situation, we can only move forward without looking back.
So, the man and the little panda slowly walked down the stairs.
The passage was very quiet, with only the sound of Xu Xin's light footsteps in the puddles on the stairs and the occasional sound of dripping water, as well as the occasional "crackling" sound of some unknown fuel burning in the candlesticks.
After walking down at least a hundred steps, there was still no end in sight for this passage.
Xu Xin didn't dare to walk fast. The wet stone steps were really slippery. He almost slipped once just now. Now he had to step on the stone steps sideways to ensure that his feet would not slip. From time to time, water drops would fall on Xu Xin's head and body, making his hair wet.
Coco was not affected. It always ran forward a dozen steps first, then stopped on the steps and tilted its head to look at Xu Xin, waiting for Xu Xin to catch up, and then ran forward a dozen steps again.
After walking for about ten minutes, Coco, who had already run a few steps forward, suddenly turned around and ran back to Xu Xin, tugged at Xu Xin's trouser legs, pointed to the passage, and whispered, "Ying."
Is there any danger ahead
Xu Xin squinted his eyes and looked deeper, and found that not far ahead, there seemed to be something hanging on the upper edge of the staircase.
The distance is a bit far and I can't see clearly.
"Keke, stay with me and don't run away anymore."
"Bing!"
Keke obeyed and stopped running. Xu Xin continued to walk down the stairs steadily. After walking a distance, he saw the thing hanging above the passage.
"Sh ...
