The fire on the altar became more and more intense, and the surging and tumbling waves of flames turned into hideous beasts, roaring at Liu Lang in mid-air.

There is no doubt that this is a fire elemental tomb, I don't know if it was because the demon snake opened the door of the tomb in advance, or if there were other reasons, although the fierce beast turned into a surging flame opened its teeth and claws, it never dared to approach Liu Lang and Xiao Rou for half a step.

Walking out of this tomb, Liu Lang kicked the door of the tomb with flames, and the surging flame waves squeezed out a tongue of fire from the crack in the door, and then disappeared.

After stepping out of this tomb full of altars, Liu Lang carried Xiaorou to the edge of a cliff, below the cliff is a dark abyss that cannot be seen at a glance, there are five dark holes on the opposite bank not far away, and a narrow suspension bridge hangs high on the stone wall next to Liu Lang, which looks like a path to the other bank. There are five raised stones on the stone walls, and the stones are carved with strange patterns.

Xiao Rou struggled to poke her head out of Liu Lang's arms, she looked at the strange situation in front of her, her pale face was full of worry and said, "This is the Maze Bridge!" ”

"Maze Bridge?" Liu Lang looked at Xiao Ju puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

"In the royal testament of the Sunset Empire, such a place is described, and this is the final checkpoint to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. Only one of the five caves on the other side is the real tomb of the Emperor, and the other four caves are full of traps and terrifying beasts, and if you choose the wrong pattern, the path given by the Maze Bridge will be a dead end. ”

"Oh?" Liu Lang shook his head and said, "The people in the city really know how to play!" ”

"What?" Xiao Rou didn't understand what Liu Lang meant.

"It's okay, I mean the Sunset Empire's royal family has designed their graveyard to a new level. As far as I know, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is not so complicated! Liu Lang smiled.

"Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang?" Xiao Rou was full of black lines.

"Oh, you may not know, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is also a very famous emperor's mausoleum, and there are many mechanisms inside, but compared to the underground imperial mausoleum of the Sunset Empire, it is simply a drop in the bucket!" Liu Lang smiled softly at Xiao Rou and said, "If you can go back to Earth, I will definitely take you to see it if I have the chance!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Xiaorou heard Liu Lang say this, and happily danced in Liu Lang's arms like a child, as if she had forgotten that she still had serious injuries on her body.

Liu Lang stood in front of the stone wall with Xiao Rou in his arms, and his eyes fell on the five raised stones on the stone wall.

Liu Lang looked back at the mouth of the five black holes on the opposite bank, if he didn't guess wrong, a stone here represented a cave on the other side. If what Xiao Rou said was true, and only one of the five caves on the other side was Wyade's real burial chamber, then Liu Lang only had a one-fifth chance of choosing the right one. Once they made the wrong choice, Liu Lang didn't know what terrifying things would await them in the cave.

"Take your pick!" Xiao Rou seemed to see Liu Lang's embarrassment, and her pale face was filled with a happy smile and said, "Anyway, now for me, whether or not I can revitalize the Sunset Empire has become less important. ”

"Why?" Liu Lang withdrew his hand and looked down at Xiao Judo.

"Before, when I didn't know that I was a descendant of the royal family of the Sunset Empire, I lived a very happy life at that time, although I didn't have my parents, but every day of life was new and beautiful!" Xiao Rou's eyes flashed and said: "After I knew my identity, my whole world has changed dramatically, and I began to realize the inescapable responsibility and burden on my shoulders, but this kind of life is very depressing, very painful, and I will dream of my mother when I have nightmares, she told me that there is no need to live so hard, these books have nothing to do with me, even if I don't do it, the emperors will not blame me." But at that time, the only direction I lived was to revitalize the Sunset Empire, because my life was boring and nothing else! ”

"But all the way here, I suddenly felt that none of this mattered!" Xiao Rou said this, a blush appeared on her pale cheeks and said: "As long as I am by your side, even if I am going to die in the next second, I feel that my life has not been in vain." ”

Liu Lang smiled bitterly and didn't say anything more. It's not that she doesn't understand what Xiaorou means, this is already equivalent to a naked confession. Liu Lang understood what Xiaorou meant, but he could only pretend not to understand. Liu Lang will do his best to help Xiao Rou bring the Sunset Empire back to light, but other than that, he can't make any promises lightly.

In fact, Liu Lang also has his own selfishness, after entering the underground imperial tomb, after knowing Xiao Rou's purpose, Liu Lang thought about helping Xiao Rou complete her mission, maybe he could rely on the power of the Sunset Empire to help him fight against the invasion of the afterlife.

"I won't let you die, and I'll do my best to help you bring the Sunset Empire back to the light of day!"

"Thank you!"

Liu Lang's coldness made Xiao Rou's heart feel a faint sourness.

When Xiao Rou first got the Nine Curved Finger Wrapper, she felt the power from the desert surging in the Nine Curved Finger Twisting Rou, and this power that belonged to her mother told her that she was a descendant of the Royal Family of the Sunset Empire and was tasked with revitalizing the Sunset Empire.

Her mother tells the young Rou that at some point in her growing up, she will meet her true destiny, and that this man's power will defeat Jiuqu Finger Rou and help Rou revive the Sunset Empire. In other words, as long as you defeat the man who twists her fingers, he is the true son of Xiaorou in Xiaorou's mother's prophecy, and it is also the only reliance on the reappearance of the Sunset Empire.

In the dark, the power of Jiuqu Finger Rou brought Xiao Rou to a man's side, and this man was Liu Lang. What Xiao Rou didn't understand was what help such a bland man who had nothing to do with the Sunset Empire could bring to herself. The power of the nine twists and turns of the fingers told her that it was not this man who helped her, but that she wanted to help this man.

Xiao Rou has always been skeptical of this sentence, even if Liu Lang reappeared in the Demon Dao, she did not look at Liu Lang differently. It wasn't until she entered the underground imperial tomb that Xiao Rou really understood the meaning of this sentence, in this underground imperial tomb full of traps and frightening steps, every step Xiao Rou took was Liu Lang guiding her, if it weren't for Liu Lang, Xiao Rou would have died even when she entered the first tomb, not to mention coming to the maze bridge all the way.

Xiao Rou didn't believe in Jiuqu Finger Rou's prophecy of the true Son of Heaven, Liu Lang's only value to her was to use him to complete his mission, Liu Lang only knew that he could teleport back to Earth here, and what he didn't know was what kind of danger there was in this underground imperial tomb, but Xiao Rou always knew that step by step here, Xiao Rou felt that she owed something to Liu Lang, and this debt could not be measured casually with any material.
