"It does look like the opening mechanism at the entrance to the stone hall. How about triggering it and taking a look." Fatty Zheng lay on the stone platform and studied it carefully for a while, then turned around and said.
Gao Yuan nodded, holding the ice shield spell in his left hand and waiting intently.
Seeing this, Zheng Song smacked his hand toward the center of the stone platform, and then followed Gao Yuan and jumped down from the stone platform nimbly.
After a short delay, followed by a loud rumbling sound, the wall on the left side of the secret room suddenly shrank inward by several feet, and then split in two from the middle and moved to both sides.
Gao Yuan and the other two happened to be right next to this wall after jumping off the stone platform. Therefore, when there was a strange noise, they quickly turned around and saw that after the blue-grey stone wall parted, a dark passage appeared in front of them.
The height of this passage is similar to the previous gates of the stone hall, but its width is nearly ten meters!
Zheng Song shook his hands and threw the moonlight talisman in his hand into the depths of the passage. Under the tumbling fluorescent light, he found that it was a straight passage composed of countless steps extending diagonally forward. Although the moonlight talisman flew far away
, but still did not reach the end of the passage.
Zheng Song turned his head and gestured towards Gao Yuan, and then activated a moonlight charm again. A strong mist-like light filled his body and he slowly walked into the passage and walked down the steps step by step.
"Giggle!"
Gao Yuan moved his left hand, and a dark blue umbrella-shaped shield appeared out of thin air to protect him. While he took out a Heqi Pill and swallowed it, he held the Pyroblast Technique in his right hand and followed Zheng Song.
Slowly entered this deep passage.
Each step in the passage has a drop of almost two feet. From this, it can be seen that the size of the user of this passage is definitely much larger than that of a human being.
Gao Yuan and the two of them were already concentrating on guarding against possible dangers. Coupled with the extreme step difference, the walk was quite hard, almost step by step. When they got down to the last step, both of them couldn't help but feel nervous.
Take a deep breath.
The exit of the passage was of the same size as the entrance. Standing at the exit, Zheng Song turned his head and looked at each other silently with Gao Yuan. He shook his hands and threw out the moonlight talisman he just picked up on the road again.
The two people's vision followed the dancing fluorescent light as it drew an arc and continued to spread forward. Just when the trajectory of the moonlight symbol passed the highest point and fell downwards, a row of shadowy figures suddenly appeared under its fluorescent light.
Huge humanoid shadow.
As the trajectory of the Moonlight Talisman continued to extend forward, rows of human-shaped shadows continued to appear within its coverage. In just a short period of time, there were dozens of human-shaped shadows illuminated by the fluorescent light it emitted!
Gao Yuan and Zheng Song suddenly showed horrified expressions when they saw this. They looked at the number of monsters they saw in this sudden glimpse. No matter which one of the three monsters they encountered before, it was definitely not something they could do.
Confrontational!
"run!"
Gao Yuan gave a loud shout and immediately turned around and ran along the stairs. Zheng Song followed closely behind him without any slowness.
After running wildly, the two of them were obviously going up the stairs, but their speed was several times faster than when they came down. In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the entrance of the staircase passage.
After exiting the passage, the two of them quickly left the secret room without stopping and headed straight for the entrance of the ruins along the corridor.
On the flat ground, Gao Yuan was extremely fast with the help of the Wind Technique, and Fatty Zheng didn't know what secret method he used. The misty golden light covering his body seemed to be ignited and turned into a dazzling golden color.
Although Guang Yan's speed is not as fast as Gao Yuan's, it's not too far behind. After running so far, he's only a few meters behind.
Gao Yuan ran for a while, but felt a little strange in his heart. It took him a while to realize that they had been running for so long, but there was silence behind them, and there was no movement at all.
This is wrong!
Based on the dull crashing sounds made by those monsters walking before, if the monsters we just saw were chasing them together, would the sound be like a firecracker?
Thinking of this, Gao Yuan quickly stopped and listened carefully.
"What are you doing? Run quickly?" Zheng Song, who was running behind, saw Gao Yuan stopped and immediately urged him.
"Wait a minute, listen, there are no monsters chasing you!" Seeing Fatty Zheng being unable to stop, Gao Yuan swayed to the side and said.
"Hey, that's right, what's going on?" After hearing Gao Yuan's words, Zheng Song quickly stopped and looked carefully. He had keen senses and could hear more clearly than Gao Yuan. There was indeed no movement behind the two of them.
"How about we go back and take a look?" Gao Yuan looked at Zheng Song wordlessly for a while, then he hesitated and suggested tentatively.
"Wait a minute, rest here for a while, I have to take it easy." Zheng Song did not object when he heard this. At this time, the golden halo on his body had faded away, and he was seen leaning against the wall with some breathlessness.
Although the flesh ball state has not been released, the originally shiny scales on his body have become much darker at this time. It seems that the secret technique he used when escaping before took a great toll on his body!
Zheng Song took out a small dark purple porcelain bottle from his body, poured out three blood-red pills and swallowed them in one gulp. After a while, his face looked a little better.
While Gao Yuan listened attentively to the sounds in the distance, he took out two bottles of Heqi Dan from the jade pendant, poured them all out into the secret pocket of the robe, and then took off the healing charm that had consumed more than half of its energy and replaced it with a new one.
After a while, Zheng Song recovered from the weak state just now. During this period, there was still no movement in the distant passage.
The two of them quickly prepared themselves and walked back slowly along the corridor. During this period, they kept listening attentively to the sounds in the distance. Soon they came to the secret room where they had encountered the four-armed monster in a calm manner and stood there.
The entrance to the stairway.
Zheng Song shook his hands and threw out the Moonlight Talisman. The two of them stared closely at the fluorescent light rolling down and spreading towards the depths of the passage, but they still found nothing unusual.
Turning back and looking at each other with Gao Yuan, Zheng Song walked down the stairs step by step. This time he was much more careful than the last time he came down. He had to stop and listen carefully at every step, but it wasn't until the two of them went down again that
On the last step, there was still no abnormality found.
Standing at the exit of the passage, Gao Yuan suppressed his heartbeat and looked into the distance.
I saw that the energy of the moonlight talisman thrown by Zheng Song before was not completely exhausted, and the thin fluorescence penetrated through the layers of obstacles, reflecting a shadow on the ground around it that looked like the devil's claws.
Zheng Song shook his hands and threw out a moonlight talisman again. As the fluorescent light flashed across the darkness, the two of them saw rows of tall human-shaped shadows again.
Gao Yuan suppressed his urge to turn around and run away. He took a closer look and quickly discovered something unusual. He turned to Zheng Song and whispered:
"These puppet monsters don't seem to be activated. Did you see that they don't have that weird silver pattern on their heads?"
Nodding silently, Zheng Song said with some uncertainty: "How about you try attacking?"
His voice sounded unusually dry, and it was obvious that he was in a very uneasy mood at this time.
Gao Yuan didn't speak but nodded slightly, then took out an Aiki Pill from a hidden bag and clasped it between his teeth, and began to condense the enhanced version of Pyroblast Technique.
After a moment, his right hand was once again shrouded in hazy firelight. He swallowed the Heqi Pill in his mouth directly, then gestured to Zheng Song. He reached forward with his right hand and pointed it out in the distance, and a twisted red light flashed.
Then it passed away, accurately scanning the group of human-shaped shadows in the distance.
"boom!"
"Bang bang bang..."
In the middle of the group of human-shaped shadows, a blazing white fireball exploded violently. Just as it turned into a sea of fire near the explosion point, countless black figures were instantly pushed out by the burst of air waves. Debris scattered all over the sky, and a dense burst of fire suddenly came from all around.
The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
The dazzling white light produced by the explosion of the fireball was like a thunder in the dark night, instantly illuminating a large area around it. With this fleeting strong light, Gao Yuan and Zheng Song could see most of the surrounding area clearly.
They all gasped.
What came into view was a huge underground square. Gao Yuan glanced at it and saw that its area was probably larger than a football field!
Looking around, the square is densely packed with humanoid monsters. At a rough count, there may be thousands of them!
