Li Sao cursed and patted the dust on her body, leaned against the wall and took a deep breath.
But Li Chen next to him seemed to have other thoughts.
"The Secret Land of Huanhua."
This was the name that little monk Ying Hui called out when Liuyun Feizhou disintegrated.
He probably meant to let everyone meet in the 'Huanhua Secret Realm'.
Being able to shout out this name at the moment when the big ship's barrier collapsed shows that young monk Ying Hui is quite familiar with this place.
From the moment he stepped onto the Liuyun Feizhou, Li Chen guessed that Landuo Temple was most likely hidden in Xunhuang between Lihuang and Kunhuang.
Unexpectedly, I actually guessed it correctly.
"If 'Huanhua Secret Realm' is the name of a place, then how should we find it?" Lisao looked toward the mountain wall, revealing half of her head.
The wind was only slightly stronger than before, and even the gray fog became heavier.
Li Chen frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Master Ying Hui is probably familiar with me here, so he was able to say this name at such an urgent moment at the end."
"Moreover, this 'Huanhua Secret Realm' is most likely nearby."
Thinking of this, Li Chen directly took out a beast control card and released Hai Dongqing.
唳~
A clear cry resounded across the sky.
Fu Xue just spread her wings and had already escaped from behind the mountain wall.
But for a moment, Li Chen's mind showed a different look.
The strong wind is a burden for Liuyun Feizhou, but for Hai Dongqing, it can only make it fly faster and faster.
Soon Li Chen's eyes lit up. Sure enough, in the gray fog, Hai Dongqing could see farther.
Even three or four miles south of the stone wall, a few figures flashed past.
At that moment, Li Chen didn't hesitate anymore and quickly grabbed Li Sao and walked in that direction despite the wind and dust.
Since it was getting late and gray fog covered the sky, the two could only move forward gropingly.
But what makes people feel even more strange is that they clearly saw a figure walking by just now, but now there is nothing in front of them.
"strangeness."
"Did I see it wrong?"
Li Chen subconsciously looked around.
It was still hazy and I couldn't see clearly.
So where did the figure Fu Xue saw just now come from?
Li Chen thought carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
I saw only a clear footprint on the ground.
Xunhuang has been covered by gray fog for a long time, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate, so there is not much vegetation here.
But there is always a fresh layer of dust on the ground.
As long as you walk through it, you will leave footprints.
Over time, new dust will cover the footprints again.
But at this moment, the footprints in front of me were extremely clear, which meant that someone had indeed walked through here just now.
The two of them were delighted when they saw it, and quickly followed the traces on the ground to find it.
After about a cup of tea, the two stood in front of a dry well and looked at each other.
The footprints just now ended abruptly at this point.
"It's impossible. Why did the footprints suddenly disappear?" Lisao walked around the dry well to make sure there was no trace at all.
He couldn't help but touched his bald head with doubts on his face: "Did he go to heaven?"
Li Chen looked at the dry well, thoughtfully.
The rim of this dry well is more than three feet above the ground, and the entire body is made of hard rock.
Suddenly something moved in his heart, and he chuckled and said: "It's unlikely to go to heaven, but it's very possible to go to earth."
"Go to the ground?"
Li Sao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked towards the bottom of the well, but she only saw a dark area.
"Senior brother, you mean...they went down the well?"
Li Chen nodded, and under Li Sao's confused gaze, he stretched out a finger and lightly rubbed it on the edge of the well.
There was just a thin layer of dust on my fingertips.
This shows what?
It means that there are often people wiping here, or that people often pass by.
Li Sao was stunned when she heard this: "Living under a well?!"
Li Chen nodded and explained without any curiosity: "We walked along the road just now, and the surroundings were all barren wasteland."
"I didn't even see half of the house.
On the contrary, we only walked a few miles, but we saw three dry wells."
“You can see a dry well every once in a while.
The key point is that every dry well here is similar to the one in front of you."
"The most curious thing is that before the dry well dried up, it should have been used to draw water.
However, there are no water-drawing tools such as windlass above the wellheads in front of us.
There are no traces of use on the edge of the well."
"And it's so strange that these wells appear together."
Li Sao fumbled around subconsciously and then nodded.
"Since it is a well, it must be used before the water dries up.
But these dry wells in front of us show no trace of use."
"Really suspicious."
Li Chen pointed to the gray mist in the sky and speculated: "On the other hand, the dust here is very large. If a house is built on the ground, it will inevitably be invaded by dust."
"But if you live underground, then all this makes sense."
Li Sao nodded and suddenly realized: "You are indeed a senior brother."
"So, most likely, they live underground."
"But how do we enter?"
"Jump directly?"
Hearing this, Li Chen shook his head and raised an arm. The next moment, a swarm of second-generation blood-winged demon mosquitoes swarmed into the dry well.
After about a few breaths, Li Chen received the feedback.
It was just as I guessed!
Don't hesitate now, just jump down.
After a few seconds of free fall, Li Chen's feet paused and reached the bottom of the well.
The distance from the bottom of the well to the mouth is only a few feet, and the ground underfoot is hard. It is obvious that the well itself is disguised.
Directly in front of him, there was a passage as tall as a person, and a faint light could be seen at the end of the passage.
When Li Chen saw this, his eyes lit up, there was indeed something else going on here.
Immediately, he stepped aside from the bottom of the well, stood sideways in the passage, and signaled Li Sao to jump down as well.
Just hearing a muffled sound of "dong", Li Sao landed successfully.
The two of them walked forward along the passage, one behind the other.
After walking for a while, the two came to the other side of the passage.
Li Chen looked down the passage and saw a long and narrow staircase in front of him.
Going down the steps, the scene in front of them surprised the two of them.
Rows of buildings, crowds of people in twos and threes.
There was a lot of traffic passing by, and even noisy hawking.
It was a prosperous scene!
The two looked at each other and looked at each other.
I originally thought that there would be no light and darkness at the bottom of the well, and that it would be gloomy and dead. But now, not only is there no gloom and dead silence, but the four walls are glowing with light.
It's obviously underground, but it's actually brighter than the outside world.
Li Chen took a closer look curiously, and found out that there was a layer of white moss growing on the stone wall, and all the light was emitted by this moss.
