Gao Zhen was stunned for a moment, trembling all over, he let go of Lai Ruoxue's hand, and his brain was blank. He was silent for a while, and there was nothing but the voice of Lai Ruoxue behind him trembling with fear.

"Brother Yi?" He asked tentatively, and his voice echoed through the narrow bronze corridor, empty and unanswered.

How so? How could Yi Shuihan suddenly disappear? According to the markings on the map, they should be right in the middle of a straight passage at this moment, with a straight road in front and a straight road in the back. There is not a single fork in the entire straight passage, Yi Shuihan can't make a mistake, he should be following Lai Ruoxue.

"When did he disappear?" Gao Zhen took a deep breath and asked. He stopped and waited for Lai Ruoxue's answer.

"Not long after entering this straight passage, I felt that the light behind me was much darker, and I stretched out my foot and kicked it back, but nothing ......," the air was quiet for a while, and Lai Ruoxue said hoarsely.

"He quit? Or didn't come in at all? "Confused, terrified by the unknown," or did he trigger some mechanism? ”

If Yi Shuihan didn't follow them into this straight passage at all, then there are only two possibilities: one is that he was attracted by something and changed his path of action without authorization; The second is that he was blocked by some external force and lost the ability to keep up. However, neither of these situations seems to be in line with the current situation, because Yi Shuihan disappeared silently without making any unusual sounds.

Well, there is only one possibility, and that is that his disappearance is his subjective behavior. Why did he leave the army and act secretly on his own? Does he have something to do? The purpose of his coming to the Southern Islands was to find such an underground labyrinth?

The more Gao Zhen thought about it, the more he didn't understand, and he began to try his best to recall Yi Shuihan. To be honest, he didn't know him at all, but only worked with him on a mission. As for what kind of person he is, Gao Zhen can't say at all. This encounter on the way to the southern islands was also very strange, or "too coincidental", and this special coincidence made him feel a chill in his heart.

But Yi Shuihan doesn't look like a bad guy, whether it is in front of the Fire Beast last time, or this time in the face of the Tianyin Divine Ape and the underground labyrinth, he fights side by side with Gao Zhen. If he was a demon cultist who wanted to hurt himself, it would be impossible to miss so many good times to attack. This makes Gao Zhen always regard him as a friend in the fairy world and trust him very much. Whether it was the secret of the Blazing Yuan Sect that he knew, or the phantom membrane created by the Nine Nether Snails, he was told it. As a result, now that he has disappeared, it makes Gao Zhen feel scared.

Could it be that you have been deceived? If Yi Shuihan is a liar, then will this Lai Ruoxue, who appeared with him, also be a liar?

The fear in Gao Zhen's heart immediately shifted from Yi Shuihan to Lai Ruoxue. That day, I came down from Yunyanmen, passed by the gambling house, met this strange girl, and then she took her to the "Chihiro Tower". It is not so much that the encounter with Yi Shuihan is a "coincidence", it is better to say that these coincidences are caused by Lai Ruoxue. She is extremely mysterious, not only is she the apprentice of the missing old man "Mei Qi Sheng", but she also understands the knowledge of the present world. More likely, even these words are false.

A chill slowly crept up his calves, over his high back, and over his head. Will you be kept in the dark? Is it too easy for you to trust others? Ever since he came to the fairy world, he has been constantly believing in people. I believe in Yu Yan, I believe in Fang seniors, I trust Ruoxue, I believe in Yi Shuihan, I believe in Uncle Dong, and I believe in Hua Muwan......

Are all these people worth believing? Someone has said that the fairy world is not as beautiful as the people of the present world imagine, these immortal cultivators are also human beings, they also have human nature, they will also deceive and betray......

"Pillow, what's wrong with you?" The girl behind him suddenly tugged at the corner of his coat, pulling him out of the endless panic and suspicion. Since my sister lost her memory, in this fairy world, Gao Zhen has always felt alone, and lonely people, in certain circumstances, will fall into endless suspicion.

And these suspicions only make them more lonely.

"I'm fine...... Gao Zhen adjusted his breathing, and said with a smile: "I feel that something is wrong with you, why after being attacked by the Tianyin Divine Ape, you seem to have changed as a person." Shaking so much, it's not like you at all. When he said this, he actually wanted to test Lai Ruoxue.

"I ......" Lai Ruoxue was speechless for a while, her lips trembling, "Because I ...... I'm scared! ”

She didn't have too many words, just a simple "scared". There was fear in her voice, like the horror of a man standing in the darkness and suddenly catching a glimpse of a terrifying grimace. When she said this, she was definitely not lying. Because, "fear", the oldest and strongest emotion of human beings, cannot be imitated.

Not to mention, I also felt "scared" when I sat back on myself.

"Are you really just here to catch immortal beasts with Yi Shuihan?" Gao was silent for a long time, and asked this question that he had been pondering for a long time.

"Yes...... I don't know why he disappeared...... I don't know who he is, I don't know ......" Lai Ruoxue replied dullly, "That's why I'm afraid......"

Although Gao Pillow had his back to her, he could imagine her expression at this moment.

"Forget it, let's go." Gao Zhen sighed, talking about these topics in the narrow corridor would make people feel a kind of depression from the bottom of their hearts, which was a sense of depression that even the Nine Nether Conch could not create. "There's still a little bit of work to go before we reach the finish line."

"Yi Shui Han him...... Do we leave him alone? Lai Ruoxue hesitated for a moment and asked.

"If it's in danger, with his strength, it'll be fine." Gao Zhen said softly, "But if he wants to leave by himself, then he must have his own purpose, and we don't care about him." Let's save your life first! ”

After speaking, Gao Zhen mobilized the metallic true qi in his dantian and condensed a sharp metal spike on the nail of his right index finger. Then, he reached out and made a mark on the bronze wall next to him.

"When I come across a fork in the road, I'll leave a mark." With that, he propped his hands on the ground, bit the fire fold in his mouth, and continued to crawl forward, without pausing.

"Hurry up." His faint voice came from the corridor, and Lai Ruoxue looked up in that direction, only to feel that the dark red light of the fire fold was getting dimmer and dimmer, and it was almost about to disappear. She hurriedly followed, behind the high pillow, crawling desperately. The darkness of the corridor made her feel depressed, but she gritted her teeth, trying to overcome it, and kept telling herself that the end was ahead.

Being in a confined space for a long time inevitably causes humans to develop negative emotions that make people feel that everything around them is darker, colder, and cramped. Some people develop angry emotions in this situation, others become depressed, and some people start to be suspicious of everything around them.

It can be said that this long road is a test of people's hearts.

After another three or four hours, the route indicated on the map became shorter and shorter, and Gao Zhen and Lai Ruoxue finally climbed the bronze road and came to the "end point" indicated on the map.

In front of them was a stone slab blocking the corridor. The stone slab is different from the copper bricks filled with molten iron around it, and its sealing degree is obviously not very good, and there are traces of corrosion in the places that come into contact with the surrounding corridors, which are very damp.

The stone slab is carved with very rudimentary motifs, which appear to be a dragon and a phoenix.

With a strong push, the slate flew out, fell to the ground, and shattered in half.

A vast and mysterious space unfolded in front of him.
