Xiaoluo reminded him like this, Li Tianran gasped unconsciously, he never believed in ghosts and gods before tonight, but... The "dragon" in the Holy Soup Palace really made him a little jealous! But at this time, he couldn't change his position, Xiaoluo was already a little scared, if he said it again, how could Xiaoluo stand it? So he quickly changed the topic and said: "These things will always be investigated!" Let's go quickly, lest the body temperature will rise for a while, and the black worm will be summoned! ”

Compared with the "dragon", the black worm at the moment may be more frightening to Xiaoluo, so as soon as Li Tianran's voice fell, Xiaoluo quickly straightened up and echoed: "You are right, go quickly!" ”

The three of them continued to get up and move forward, although there were smooth bluestone steps under their feet, but because there were no torches to explore the way, the three of them walked very slowly, and every step was carefully tested, for fear of encountering any more danger! finally walked a distance of nearly 100 steps, and the three of them were already sweating profusely! Li Tianran stopped, took out the flint from his sleeve, wiped it a few times, and lit the torch he had just brought.

Xiao Luo was shocked, and hurriedly said: "You are not afraid of provoking black insects by lighting torches like this?" ”

Li Tianran said: "It should be fine, we are just in the waterway, and the stone statue is closer than now, and it is expected that the black worm's perception of temperature should also be a certain distance!" Having said that, after the torch was lit, Xiaoluo still grabbed Li Tianran's arm tightly and didn't dare to let go.

The torch was lit, the three of them held their breath, listened carefully for a while, and sure enough, there was no movement, so they often breathed a sigh of relief, Li Tianran handed the remaining torch to the two of them and lit it together! The three of them raised their torches aloft, intending to get a better look at the environment...

"Dragon!" Xiaoluo blurted out! Xiaoluo was originally smart and calm, but tonight since the Holy Tang Palace has been frightened by everything, so much so that now the grass and trees are all soldiers! After she screamed, she unconsciously hid behind Li Tianran again, and pointed to the top of the heads of the three people with a trembling hand, Li Tianran and Li Boyu looked in the direction of their fingers, and couldn't help but take a step back in fright! Hurriedly bowed down! Li Tianran rubbed his eyes vigorously, he had been in the dark for a long time, and he was a little uncomfortable with the sudden bright light, for fear that he would lose his eyes!

Li Boyu on the side said in a trembling voice: "Ah... Brother,It's a dragon.,But it's like... It's fake! ”

Li Tianran trembled and slowly straightened up, and looked carefully, it turned out that this was also a secret passage, and the width of the secret passage was not much different from the previous waterway, but... There is a huge black dragon hovering at the top of this secret passage, the dragon body is so thick that it is difficult for an adult to embrace, the dragon scales and dragon claws are clearly visible, although the head of the dragon is not seen at this moment, but its majesty is undoubted! Li Tianran raised the torch again and looked back and forth, the black dragon was so long that there was no end in sight! Judging from the direction of the growth of the dragon scales, the dragon's head should be at the stone gate just now, but the tail stretches so long that it is impossible to see the end at a glance!

Li Tianran looked at the lifelike dragon, and secretly marveled in his heart that the carving technique was so magical! I don't know when and who made the black dragon, but after such a long time, the color has not faded at all, just like a living thing!

Li Tianran was thinking about it, and Li Boyu seemed to have confirmed his judgment, without saying a word, he immediately kicked the side wall, went up, just grabbed a dragon claw, and hung in mid-air! Li Tianran was shocked and hurriedly shouted: "Brother, be careful!" ”

Li Boyu hung on the dragon's claws, stretched out his hand and touched it well, so he replied: "Brother, don't be surprised!" This is indeed a fake dragon, judging from the material, the texture is excellent, warm, it seems to be... A huge piece of black jade! As soon as he finished speaking, Li Bo jumped down from the dragon's claws!

Hearing this, Li Tianran replied, "Huge black jade? No wonder it hasn't faded at all, it's like a living thing... But such a big black jade is indeed incredible, and the identity of the owner of this mausoleum can be imagined! ”

Xiaoluo leaned over and said in a trembling voice: "You say, this black dragon... and the black dragon we met tonight in the Holy Soup Palace... Can it be related? ”

When Li Boyu heard this, he said: "Little girl, maybe it's just a coincidence!" It's a sculpture, and that... But it's a living creature! ”

Li Tianran frowned, did not answer, he raised his fire and looked around, and found that there were many similar words and patterns on the walls on both sides. Li Tianran hurriedly leaned over and took a closer look! Xiaoluo and the two also followed, but after watching it for a long time, the three of them couldn't see why! At first glance, these things look a little like words, but when you look closely, they are completely different, and you don't know what you're drawing!

Li Tianran stretched out his hand and touched it gently, there were dents, it turned out that these patterns were engraved, no wonder they have not fallen off for a long time! Li Boyu said softly: "Let's go!" Maybe what kind of symbol is this! We won't be able to untie it for a while! ”

Li Tianran nodded, and continued: "But maybe there are clues to escape in these words, this secret passage is not wide, so the three of us will walk side by side, raise the torch together, and search carefully!" ”

The two nodded in agreement, so Xiaoluo was in the middle, and the two separated on both sides and continued to move forward, watching carefully along the way! The three of them walked slowly because they had to read the words on both sides of the wall, but what the three of them didn't expect was that they actually walked for nearly an hour, and they still didn't reach the end! Seeing that the torch was about to be extinguished, the three of them began to become a little anxious, and Xiao Luo took the lead in speaking: "How do I feel that we are walking around, it seems that we are in place, you look at the black dragon above your head, it seems that it has always been the same!" ”

As soon as Xiaoluo's words fell, the three of them couldn't help but start to feel weak in their hearts, in fact, Xiaoluo's words had doubts in the hearts of Li Tianran and Li Boyu, but they had never broken it, Xiaoluo pointed to one of the words on the wall, and said: "Look, this text has a missing corner, I seem to have seen it several times!" ”

Li Tianran came over and took a closer look, the tail of the word was indeed missing a corner, it was really difficult to find if you didn't look carefully, fortunately Xiaoluo observed carefully! Li Boyu leaned over and answered: "It's not a secret, I also found a few similar words!" Come with me! Li Boyu hurriedly pulled the two of them forward a few steps, and sure enough, they met an identical text, and a corner was missing in the same place.

Li Tianran touched it with his hand, leaned over and looked at the ground for a while, and finally said in a low voice: "No! This missing place is smooth and flat, and it is by no means falling off by itself, and there is no fallen gravel on this ground, which must be carved by man, it should be some kind of mark! ”

"Mark?" Li Boyu was a little surprised, "What kind of sign will that be?" Li Tianran pressed the gap as he spoke, he wanted to confirm whether it was artificially carved or not! But something unexpected happened, just as he pressed it, there was a sudden muffled sound, and there was a sound of mechanical movement! The three of them were startled, and hurriedly retreated to one place in fright, waiting for what would happen!

I saw that the stone wall that Li Boyu pressed just now actually slowly opened a gap, just enough for one person to walk! The three of them were shocked, Li Tianran saw that there was no movement, so he put the torch in, it was actually a straight and dark path, and there was nothing else on the walls on both sides! Li Tianran hesitated for a moment, and immediately said to the two: "Go!" ”

Li Boyu said in a low voice: "This... Will it be dangerous? ”

Li Tianran replied: "But if we don't go here, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out, and we will be lost in this black dragon secret passage forever, so we have to gamble once!" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Luo ran straight behind Li Tianran and said in a low voice: "I believe you, let's go!" Seeing this, Li Boyu had no choice but to follow, and the three of them entered the narrow secret passage together! The secret passage is dark and narrow, the walls are empty, and the three of them have nothing to explore, they just keep their heads down and walk forward, but after walking for a while, they actually arrived at the exit, and the three of them thought that they had walked out, but they never thought that as soon as they came out of the secret passage, they were actually in the black dragon secret passage just now!

Li Boyu said with a desperate face: "It's over, I'm back here again, it seems... We can't get out! ”

Li Tianran was silent, just looked around carefully, and finally said softly: "Brother, don't worry, we should be on the right track!" ”

Li Boyu was excited when he heard this: "Why does my brother say this? ”

Li Tianran pointed to the black dragon on his head and replied, "Brother, don't you think that the dragon body on top of this head seems to be thinner?" ”

Li Boyu observed carefully for a while, and responded: "After being reminded by my brother, my brother also feels that this dragon body seems to be thinner than before!" But... What does this mean? ”

Xiaoluo continued: "I understand, the closer you get to the dragon's tail, the thinner it is!" So... We're starting to get closer to Dragontail! ”

Li Tianran finally showed a smile and replied, "That's right! Let's go! lest the torches be extinguished, and there will be no return! ”

The three of them finally ignited hope, didn't go far, and sure enough, they found a missing corner of the text, and the three of them concocted it in the same way, and a narrow secret passage appeared, repeated many times, and the dragon body above the head was really getting thinner and thinner... Despite this, it still can't be reached the end, and the torch in my hand is about to burn out...

At the beginning, in order to keep the fire, Li Tianran asked the two to extinguish the torch in their hands, and then ignited the next one after it burned out, but even so, there was only the last one left in the hands of the three people, and seeing that even this was about to burn out, Li Tianran couldn't help but say anxiously: "Run!" So the three of them changed from galloping to running... However, after passing through a narrow passage again, the torch was extinguished...

The surroundings were once again plunged into endless darkness, and the three of them couldn't tell what the dragon body above their heads was like this time...

Li Boyu sighed in the darkness: "Hey... Unexpectedly, the three of us were trapped here and died after all... ”

Li Tianran didn't answer, but Xiaoluo suddenly whispered: "Huh? There seems to be ... Light! ”
