As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Jiang increased his strength again and knocked hard on the empty space next to the statue a few times. Then he waited patiently for a while, but there was still no movement below.
"Something happened!"
Pei Jiang's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and then without saying a word, he pushed away the pile of stones in front of the stone statue, reached out and groped in the loose soil under the stone pile.
Tao Chuang and Lin Yu looked at each other, and Tao Chuang asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Is there anyone stationed down here?!"
"Yes, we take turns guarding here. We will only open the door to those who give the code!"
Pei Jiang said in a deep voice, with an anxious expression. Usually when someone knocks on the code, the door will usually open quickly. However, today he knocked for a long time and there was no response. This shows that something must have happened down there.
While speaking, Pei Jiang groped vigorously in the mound of soil, sweating profusely.
Lin Yu frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Pei Jiang's forearm, and asked Pei Jiang with a solemn expression, "Is it possible that the guard brother fell asleep or deserted?!"
Pei Jiang was slightly startled, then shook his head vigorously and said, "Absolutely not. This is a matter of life and death, and we are not here for a vacation. The people stationed below will definitely be very energetic! Since they are gone
If there is any movement, it is very likely that something unexpected has happened!”
As he spoke, his hand moved slightly, trying to break free from Lin Yu's hand so that he could continue to look for the mechanism to open the door, but Lin Yu held his forearm firmly and prevented him from breaking free. He frowned and couldn't help but wonder.
, "Mr. He, why are you holding me? I'm looking for a mechanism to open the door!"
Lin Yu was not in a hurry to speak, his expression became even grimmer, he looked at the pile of rocks pushed down by Pei Jiang, and said in a deep voice, "You said, if someone who doesn't know why comes and wants to force the door open and rush down, they will definitely destroy it."
There is a pile of rocks outside, but before you took action, the pile of rocks was standing on top of the mechanism without any damage. So how do you think these people who sneaked in got in?!"
Pei Jiang's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he said in surprise, "You mean, it was our brothers who opened the door on their own initiative? Those who went down must be people who knew the password. Could it be...could it be those who have been helping us?"
People betrayed us?! This...this is impossible..."
"Now everything is possible!"
Lin Yu frowned and said in a deep voice, reminding everyone, "Everyone cheer up and get ready for battle!"
After saying that, he let go of his hand, pressed his hand to Pei Jiang, and told Pei Jiang to open the mechanism slowly and carefully.
Pei Jiang nodded solemnly. After grabbing a handle from the mound, he lifted it up with all his strength, and then the sound of "Galala" was heard as the stones were moved. The stone statues in the Earth Temple together with the entire
The bottom of the seat was completely removed, revealing a small square opening that only allowed one person to pass through.
Everyone looked under the small square opening and saw that it was pitch black underneath, with nothing out of the ordinary.
Everyone hurriedly listened, and there was no sound coming from the dark passageway.
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other with a look of worry and uneasiness on their faces.
The quieter it is, the more unsettling it is!
"I'll go down first!"
Pei Jiang gritted his teeth and was about to jump down.
However, Lin Yu suddenly reached out and stopped him, and said in a deep voice, "I should come first!"
Regardless of skill or speed, he is the best among them, so if there is any danger, he is the most confident to solve it.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yu jumped down.
"Boom!"
The entire cave entrance was several meters deep. After Lin Yu landed, he found that the front suddenly opened up, like a tunnel. At this time, the tunnel was dark and deep, without any movement, and there was a musty smell in the air.
Lin Yu waited for his eyes to adjust for a while, and then he saw clearly that there seemed to be a huge open space at the end of the tunnel, with some tables and chairs and other miscellaneous objects in it, but no one could be seen.
Lin Yu then stretched out his hand and waved to his head, and then took the lead in walking towards the tunnel in front.
Pei Jiang jumped down quickly, followed by Bairentu, Shenshuiyuan, Tao Chuang, and Sun Xuebing. The group followed Lin Yu and quickly walked towards the open space ahead.
Pei Jiang was covered in cold sweat, clutching the dagger in his hand tightly. His muscles were tense and his heart was pounding. You know, they usually turn on the lights when they stay down here!
But now, the entire space is pitch black!
Bairentu and the others also had frost-like faces, full of alertness, and were also ready to attack at any time.
After Lin Yu and the others walked into the open space inside, they found that it was pitch black inside and they couldn't see anything at all.
Pei Jiang hesitated for a moment, worried about an ambush, and did not rush to turn on the light.
Bairentu immediately took out the outdoor flashlight he carried with him, flicked it on, and scanned the surroundings. He saw that there were tables, chairs, daily necessities such as beds and beds, many clothes, and shoes.
The water cups and so on are all still there.
But there was no one in the entire space!
"It's strange, why is there no one?!"
Bairentu said in a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "whoosh" sound piercing the air in the darkness, and a black light and shadow quickly shot towards him.
"careful!"
Lin Yu shouted urgently.
Bairentu turned his head suddenly, flashed his flashlight, and saw a dagger shooting towards him quickly. He quickly tilted his head and dodged.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
At this time, two more sounds pierced the air, and two black shadows shot towards Lin Yu and others at extremely high speed.
"Lower your head!"
Lin Yu shouted deeply and found a figure rushing towards the entrance of the cave where they entered.
He kicked his feet and rushed behind this figure in the blink of an eye.
After this figure felt the pressure behind him, his heart trembled, then he twisted his hips, turned around quickly, and stabbed behind him with a dagger.
But after he turned around, he suddenly found that the figure behind him had disappeared!
He shuddered violently and opened his eyes wide in fear.
"Here it is!"
At this moment, he immediately remembered a deep voice behind him. Without saying a word, he grabbed the dagger again and stabbed towards his back. But before he could take action this time, his shoulder was suddenly grabbed by a strong hand, and he suddenly felt
His bones were about to break, and with a scream, the dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
Then Lin Yu kicked him in the crook of the leg, kicked him to the ground, and said coldly, "Tell me, who are you!"
