"Look! there's a light ahead!"

Lu Tao was stunned, there was a bright light?

His gaze was half covered by the divine light technique in his hand, and he didn't notice whether there was any light in front of him for a while, but now he listened to Xiao Tao's reminder, and then looked over, and sure enough, he saw a faint light at the end of the distance, flashing and flashing, like a twinkling star in the sky in summer.

Of course, it was impossible for Lu Tao to see the stars underground, he waved his hand, let the brilliance of the Divine Light Technique dissipate, and then whispered to Peony and Liu Ruyan: "Next, let's go slowly, try not to make a sound, I'm worried about what danger ahead." ”

Peony and Liu Ruyan nodded, but Xiao Tao continued to lower her voice: "Lu Tao, did you say that the front is the exit, and the light is also leaking in from the outside......?"

Lu Tao patted her head: "Stupid! We have been going down, how can it be an exit in front?!

Xiao Tao hugged her head, glared at Lu Tao, and reluctantly said, "...... Oh...... I see, it won't make a sound. ”

In this way, Lu Tao nodded and continued to walk forward.

The further he walked, the brighter the light became, and when he got closer to a certain distance, Lu Tao found that the light came from behind a half-open stone door, and the feeling of flickering light and darkness looked a little permeating.

Lu Tao motioned to the three people behind him not to make a sound, and then carefully walked behind the stone gate and poked his head out.

Behind the stone gate is also a hall, the size of the hall is about the same as the hall where Lu Tao stayed for a long time and was full of gold, and then looking up, Lu Tao finally knew where those flickering lights came from.

Looking up from here, it is a hollow that cannot see the top, I don't know how high the distance, the torches that are obliquely inserted on both sides are blown by the wind that does not know where it comes from, and naturally there is no way to maintain a quiet burning posture, and the wind blowing from all directions is strong and weak, and naturally these torches are also turned strong and weak.

After those torches, there were many half-open caves, and the wind blew out of these half-open caves, and at a glance, there were almost hundreds of caves.

Of course, that's just the number of caves, and half of those are half-open, but that's pretty remarkable, no, it's horrifying.

Lu Tao was stunned for a moment, observed half of the salary, and found no trace of anyone else, he whispered to Peony and asked, "What kind of place is this?

Peony also seemed to be frightened by the large number of caves, and she shook her head: "I don't know...... I'm not even sure if it's under the palace right now. ”

Lu Tao understands this, no matter how Peony grows up in the palace since he was a child, no one would have thought that there would be such a large range of hollows and such tunnels under the palace.

If every stone gate leads to a certain place, Lu Tao feels that there is nothing wrong with directly describing the palace with thousands of holes.

Before Lu Tao could think about whether to go in and investigate, Liu Ruyan suddenly walked inside, and Lu Tao didn't have time to catch her for a while, so he had to shout: "Liu Ruyan! Don't go in yet! We must at least confirm whether it is safe inside!"

As a result, Liu Ruyan didn't mean to pay attention to Lu Tao at all, and took Xiao Tao, who had just caught up behind, and quickly climbed up the stairs that surrounded him.

Lu Tao: "......"

Peony did pull Lu Tao behind him, pulled him back outside the stone gate, and then said angrily: "If she wants to go, let her go!

Lu Tao shook his head, he didn't want to see a girl like Liu Ruyan injured, not because he was pitiful, but mainly because if he was hit by an iron ball or chainsaw that fell from the sky, it looked much more uncomfortable than a rough man.

Oh yes, there's no chainsaws here.

Liu Ruyan quickly climbed up the upward stairs, and it didn't take long to reach the first half-open stone gate, and she ran in without any hesitation, which made Lu Tao a little surprised.

I thought she would pick one.

After waiting for a while, Lu Tao and Peony glanced at each other, then nodded together, and came to the hall again, since Liu Ruyan had no problem going in for so long, needless to say, it should be fine.

It's just that when Peony and Lu Tao just entered the center of the hall, and saw Liu Ruyan retreating, she glanced at Lu Tao and Peony, took a step and continued to climb up, Lu Tao was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked, "What's wrong with that hole?"

Liu Ruyan paused at his feet, but still said: "There is no way to go halfway through the hole, and there is no digging at all." ”

After speaking, Liu Ruyan continued to climb up, and in a blink of an eye, he got into the second hole with a half-open stone door.

Peony looked back at the stone door that the two of them entered, and didn't care about saying anything, he also climbed up the stone steps, and said to Lu Tao as he climbed: "You try to see if those closed stone doors can be opened, I'll go to other caves first, and if I find anything, come to the hall first!"

After speaking, Peony climbed up a few more floors, found one of the openings in one of the floors higher than Liu Ruyan and got in, it seemed that he didn't want to follow Liu Ruyan.

......

Lu Tao glanced at the remaining three, it seemed that everyone was tired enough, especially Peony, I don't know where she went, she looked like she was covered with dirt, and she looked like she was gray.

He looked at the last open hole in front of him, and didn't know if it was worth it.

Those closed stone doors Lu Tao tried and gave up, there should be some kind of fixed mechanism, no matter how much strength Lu Tao used, there was no way to shake those heavy stone doors, he deliberately went to the half-open stone door next to him to take a look twice, the thickness of each stone door is extremely exaggerated, if you want to break the stone door, with Lu Tao's strength now, it is impossible, and Lu Tao has no sharp weapons that can be used, just with a pair of fists there is no possibility.

In the end, Lu Tao and Peony divided the work, after Liu Ruyan grabbed the two holes, he also tacitly asked Xiao Tao to help, and the four of them scattered to explore more than 50 holes that could be entered, as Liu Ruyan said, most of these holes could not be passed, and I don't know if it was intentional, many holes were halfway through, and they were blocked by the gravel that fell from the top of their heads, and some of them seemed to have not been dug through at all, and there were many traces of axes and chisels on the stone wall at the very end.

After exploring all the caves that could be entered, this was the last cave that could be entered, and it was a coincidence that the entrance of the cave where the four people came at the same time was neither more nor less.

Peony glanced at Liu Ruyan: "Liu Ruyan, do you dare to swear by your ancestors, the cave where you and your maidservant walked is not passable!?"

Liu Ruyan glanced back at Peony: "So, do you believe me?"

You've deceived me more than once before, so I can't believe what you're saying, especially since you haven't said it yet!"

Liu Ruyan shook his head: "When I think that our Dayue Kingdom was defeated by a guy like you, I feel that it is really regrettable......"

"What do you mean?!" Peony frowned: "The defeated generals are the defeated generals, what's the use of saying this?

Lu Tao: "......"

He suddenly felt a little big, what was going on?!

took a step forward: "Don't argue yet......! Let's see if there is a way out after this passage, I don't think it should be a dead end, otherwise it is impossible to understand why the torch here will be lit. ”

"Hmph, forget it, Liu Ruyan!Then I won't bother with you!" Saying that, Peony didn't continue to say more, and walked directly along the half-open stone door, Lu Tao shook his head, and also followed behind, and the last ones to follow were Liu Ruyan and Xiao Tao.

On both sides of the passage, there are burning torches, the same as the torches that illuminated the outside before, and it stands to reason that there should be a set of mechanisms here to light all the torches, otherwise one by one, especially the torches in the passages that cannot be passed at all, it will not take much time.

This time, the four of them walked for a long time, and they didn't encounter obstacles, and they couldn't help but feel confident, but as they walked, they finally became Lu Tao walking in the front, and Peony and Liu Ruyan walking behind, and this is not counting, the two stared at each other, not caring about the road ahead at all.

Lu Tao was a little puzzled, and specifically turned around and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Hmph!" Peony snorted, "Don't you want to look at these two guys, I'm afraid they'll disappear as they walk, and we'll be blind by then." ”

Xiao Tao unceremoniously counterattacked: "Who are you calling a guy?!My young lady naturally won't do such a bad thing, but you, at first glance, don't look like a good person!

Lu Tao: "......"

He suddenly regretted a little, doing things with these two guys, it was really not peaceful for a moment, if it was himself, he would have gone out eight lifetimes earlier.

Just thinking about it, a "boom" suddenly sounded from behind everyone, and then there was a shock from under his feet, Lu Tao was stunned, and hurriedly looked back, and the three of Peony Liu Ruyan and Xiao Tao also looked behind them in surprise.

Behind the four of them, a stone door suddenly descended, and the roar just now was the sound it made when it landed.

Lu Tao hurriedly stepped forward, but found that he couldn't push the stone door at all.

What's going on?
