I couldn't keep my balance in the air, but it didn't seem too far from the ground, my shoulder hit the ground first, and I almost fainted in pain from the heavy shock when I landed, and it took me a while to recover, and my shoulder burned like a fire. I hurriedly raised my hand to touch it, and endured the pain to make sure that there was no major injury to my bones.

But...... It hurts!

I staggered to my feet, unable to see anything, lonely, dark, with the characteristic smell of damp mold in the unventilated tunnel. I choked a few sips, only to feel that the musty smell made people cry.

"Xiaojin, are you alright?"

Xiao Jin slid lightly on his wrist, and he didn't seem to be injured.

I breathed a sigh of relief and listened carefully, and there was no movement above my head. There was also dead silence in the tunnels, with the occasional faint whirring sound, which should be waves or the sea breeze.

There should be some other exit to this secret passage, and there doesn't seem to be any poisonous insects and monsters hiding here. I reached into my arms and felt a bead to come out. It had a faint pale green glow, and it wasn't particularly bright, and I took it with me at first just for fun, and sometimes I played with it, but in this completely dark place, the light was really important and necessary.

This tunnel does not look like it is new, and I am afraid that it has been a long time. And unlike ordinary secret passages, it doesn't seem to be used to store certain things, or to prepare for escape. Because it doesn't have either of the things it needs. If it's storage, then it's obviously not qualified. If it is to escape, then the front five forks in the road, without a detailed road map, I am afraid no one can recognize which is the way to live. Moreover, even if there is a road map, I doubt that there is no way to distinguish between them, and who can clearly distinguish them.

Now the bad thing is that I can't go back to the ground, and I look around the wall, and it seems that the mechanism can only be opened from the outside, not from the inside. Unas came back and couldn't find me......

How do I get out of here? What is this tunnel for? Where does it lead?

The pain in his shoulder was getting worse and worse, and his whole left arm was hard and heavy and he couldn't lift it up, and he couldn't exert his strength.

I calmed down and thought about it, and whispered, "Xiaojin, has anyone passed by here before?" Can you smell it? ”

Little Kim sizzled, slid off my wrist and swam underground in front of me.

"Then I'll rely on you."

I took the bead and illuminated it, and followed behind Little Kim. It chose a fork in the road to the right and meandered forward, and I followed step by step.

It's so cold down here, a damp and gloomy feeling, it makes people feel like their bodies are heavy. I'll walk for a while and take a break. There was no way to know the time, but I kept counting it in my mind. If I'm not mistaken, it should have been more than an hour, right? It's a huge labyrinth underneath, full of forks in the road, and worst of all, everything looks exactly the same. I had a small sharp knife hidden in my shoes, and I drew a small symbol to mark the intersections I walked. Humid, low-temperature, dark...... I feel like I'm losing my stamina very quickly.

There should be no mistake with Jin leading the way, and I didn't see the marks I drew at the intersection on the wall, indicating that I didn't lose my way, and I didn't go around in the same place. The level of construction in Minoa is indeed very high, and this labyrinth is so grand that it is probably much larger than the scale of the royal palace on the ground. It's just that the style and architectural habits are completely different from those in Egypt, and they are completely different from those I know elsewhere, and there is no pattern to follow. Could it be that the people who built this place wanted to build a labyrinth underground? But what's the use of that? What is it built to do if it has no practical meaning?

It's time for Unas to find out I'm gone, right? He must have been anxious......

That's for sure.

This kid is different to me, like a normal guard.

I'm not a kid anymore, and I'm not slow about these things. And not just because of that one time we met outside the palace.

The more you walk, the more you feel downward, and the sound of the sea seems to be clearer.

In this case, it is not difficult to get out.

But Jin stopped at this point. It seemed to hesitate for a moment, and his head was a little bit on the ground, refusing to go any further.

"What's wrong?"

I asked in a low voice, and the glow of the green beads reflected on the scales of Xiao Jin's body, which looked not golden, but a somewhat strange silvery-green.

Jin hesitated for a moment, then suddenly turned around and swam in the other direction, deviating from the direction we had always been.

"Kim? Goldie? ”

I shouted twice, but it didn't look back.

What's wrong with this guy?

Is there a way out there? Or is there something that attracts it?

Xiao Jin followed the smell of the person in front of me to lead me so far. Could it be the one who passed by here before me and changed direction here?

I put my hand on my numb shoulder, which was already aching, and hurried a few steps to catch up.

Kim let out a thin, uneasy sizzle.

What did it feel? My heart became more and more uneasy, and my chest shook sullenly with every step I took.

This labyrinth is certainly not built to be useless, for people to take a walk and relax. There must be some ulterior purpose.

If it's useful, what will it be for?

The front is getting wider and wider, much wider than the road just now, and the top of the stone wall seems to be getting higher. Kim stopped, and I saw that there were steps ahead, steps going up.

It turned its head and wagged its tail gently, no longer moving forward.

Is that body posture hesitating, or is it urging me to go up on my own?

For the first time, I felt so hesitant.

How to choose?
