"Why?"

"Because there are many dangers near the exit, and there are ancient relics guarding it, when I entered here, I had already reached the god realm to cultivate, but even so, I still couldn't break through its defense line, and finally ended up with my current fate. It's been more than ten years, and I've long since given up the idea of escaping. ”

A god realm powerhouse?

Jiang Lai was taken aback, he didn't expect that this person in front of him was actually a God Realm powerhouse!

For a while, his expression seemed a little solemn, and even the powerhouses of the God Realm couldn't escape, so wouldn't his chances be even slimmer. Although he asked himself that his strength was not weak, he was still slightly deficient compared to the powerhouses of the God Realm.

After being silent for a moment, seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Zhao He said slowly: "Come with me, I'll take you to a safe place first." ”

Following behind each other, the two passed through a passage and walked for about a few tens of meters, when Jiang Lai saw a boulder placed in the passage. When Zhao He moved the boulder out of the way, a hole was immediately revealed behind it.

The area behind the entrance to the cave is not very large, only more than twenty square meters, very simple, not even a decent bed. With a glance, Jiang Lai's attention was immediately drawn to a painting on the wall.

To be precise, this is not a painting, but the lines carved by Zhao He on it, twisting and turning, there are hundreds. He walked closer, looked at it carefully, and asked, "Mr. Zhao, what is this?"

"Over the years, I've explored all the passages around me and made a map, and all you see now is a map of the second layer. ”

"The second floor?"

"That's right!" Zhao He nodded, "This place is almost thirty meters deep from the ground, and it is divided into two layers, our location is on the second floor, and the exit you are looking for is on the first floor, which is the real dangerous place, even I dare not venture into it." ”

Speaking of this, he pointed to the map on the wall, "The information on the second layer is relatively complete, in addition to the route, there are some dangerous places on the map, I have marked out some dangerous places, if you want to go out and go around, it is best to write it down to avoid accidents." ”

"Mr. Zhao, since this place is only more than thirty meters deep, why don't you just dig a passage and leave? With your strength, it shouldn't take long. ”

"Hmph, you think I haven't thought of it? That beast is shrewd, and if you make too much noise, you'll immediately get its attention. I've survived all these years because I've avoided it. If you are touched by it, you will definitely die. After speaking, Zhao He walked to the corner of the wall and sat down slowly, "I'm going to rest, you can do it yourself." ”

Looking at Zhao He, who closed his eyes and was calm, Jiang Lai frowned slightly, the other party seemed to be used to this kind of life, and had long given up hope of escaping. But he didn't want to die in this hellish place.

He stood in front of the wall, carefully examining the map. It took him about half an hour, and he finally managed to memorize the contents of the map. If it weren't for the fact that his phone was out of battery, he wouldn't have been able to do this, just take a photo.

Seeing that Zhao He hadn't woken up yet, Jiang Lai didn't bother and left the stone room alone.

Because of the help of the map, Jiang Lai no longer scurried around like a headless fly, he turned around along the passage, and according to the guidance of the map, he soon reached the entrance to the second floor to the first floor.

This is a slope, only more than ten meters long, however, Jiang Lai stood in front of the passage and did not move forward.

On the mountain walls on both sides of the slope, there are dense holes, like a hornet's nest, and if there are people with dense phobia, it is estimated that they will not even dare to look at it a few more times.

Because he was not sure what danger he would encounter in front of him, Jiang Lai did not dare to step forward easily, in case he encountered another danger that he could not handle, wouldn't it be the end.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Lai picked up a stone on the ground, and with a flick of his wrist, the stone immediately flew out. As the stone passed through the middle of the passage, an afterimage flashed abruptly, and then the stone disappeared in an instant.

All this happened too fast, and with Jiang Lai's strength, he couldn't even capture that afterimage. However, the only thing he knew for sure was that the afterimage came from the hole next to it.

He inhaled to himself, in this hellish place, there are really all kinds of terrible things.

"Boy, don't waste your efforts, as long as you dare to take a step forward, you will definitely die. ”

Hearing Zhao He's familiar voice coming from behind, Jiang Lai turned around and looked at the person who came, "Mr. Zhao, is there no way at all?"

"It's not like there's no way. Zhao He pondered for a while and said, "A few years ago, I ventured into the first layer and found a crack there. Unfortunately, because of my body, I can't get into that crack, but if it were you, maybe it would. But you have to know that the road to that crack is full of dangers, and it will be difficult to get there alive. If it weren't for my fate, I guess I would have confessed there. ”

"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I want to try it, and I can't just sit here and wait. ”

"Well, since you insist on seeking death, then I won't stop you. After a pause, Zhao He took out a palm-sized stone slab and threw it into Jiang Lai's hand, "The route above can guide you directly to that crack, for the sake of the fate of you and I meeting, I remind you, when you reach the first layer, try not to make any sound." ”

"Got it!"

"That's right, apply this to your body. ”

Taking the bottle thrown by Zhao He, Jiang Lai opened the cap and smelled it, a strong smell of blood mixed with the stench came to his face, he subconsciously turned his head and used his hands to disperse the smell.

"What is this?"

"There are many strange creatures in this place, fierce and cruel by nature, but they are resistant to each other, and if you smear this blood on your body, it will make other creatures afraid to come near you. However, its effects only target a subset of creatures, so you shouldn't take it lightly. ”

Jiang Lai's eyes lit up, this is a good thing.

"Mr. Zhao, thank you! If I can leave alive, I will definitely help you tell the people of the Zhao family, so that they can find a way to rescue you. ”

As he spoke, he poured out the blood from the bottle, smeared it on his clothes, and strode towards the passage on the first floor.

Although there was Zhao He's assurance, Jiang Lai did not dare to be careless, and walked carefully every step. After passing through the passage more than ten meters long, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and smiled gratefully at Zhao He when he saw that there was no reaction in the caves on both sides of the mountain wall.

"Mr. Zhao, then I'll go first. ”

"Stay safe!"

Jiang Lai nodded, no longer delaying time, and rushed straight towards the location where the crack was.

(For Chinese, it will be a new year after midnight, and I wish everyone a happy new year, good health, and all the best in advance.) )
