Chapter 198: Exploring the Underground Palace
Lonely as smoke stood up with a red face, glanced at Li Ming, who was silent with his hands down, as if he had made a mistake, and Yu couldn't help but show some smiles on his face.
"You slept so soundly just now, I can't bear to wake you up." Lonely as smoke said with a smile.
"And how long have I been asleep?" Li Ming hurriedly looked at the current time and couldn't help but be stunned.
"It's only been half an hour, let's continue exploring the map." Lonely as smoke said.
"Are you okay now, claustrophobia won't be cured easily......" Li Ming asked nervously.
"It's okay now, I haven't been sick for more than ten years, this dungeon is just triggering my memories, as long as it's over." Lonely as smoke said.
"Is that so, you got this disease when you were a child?" Li Ming asked in surprise.
"Yes, when I was only 6 years old, I was kidnapped and threatened to pay a ransom to my father. I was alone in a dark shipping container, alone for three days and three nights, without water to drink or eat, and almost died...... In the end, he was rescued when he was dying, so he got this disease. Loneliness replied lightly.
"Damn kidnappers, don't even let a little girl go!" Li Ming said indignantly.
"It's all gone, and I don't know why I suddenly got sick just now, it must be because the dungeon environment is more terrifying than what I experienced at the beginning, which caused the illness." Lonely as smoke shrugged and said.
"Don't mention it, now that you're safe, let's continue to explore, you walk behind me." Li Ming said.
"Okay, but do you know which direction we should go now?" Lonely as smoke looked at the front and back of him, almost exactly the same straight passage, and there was no end in sight.
"Easy choice, let's go higher." Li Ming said with a smile.
He had locked onto the promenade on the left, which was clearly a sloping ramp towards the heights.
It is imperative that we first find the way out and then find a way to figure out the situation of the entire underground palace.
"Okay, you lead the way." Lonely as smoke nodded, obediently following behind him.
Li Ming was holding a short staff and holding a torch, and now the number of torches in his package was not much, while the smoke beauty did not bring a single torch, so she could only speed up the search for an exit.
Now he also understands that the reason why loneliness triggers the illness is because before he jumped, she stayed alone in the dark and did not have any lighting tools, so she would fall ill again.
According to the introduction of claustrophobia he just checked, patients with this disease are very easy to cause illness even in a closed environment such as airplanes and buses, which shows that the beauty has actually recovered well in the past ten years, and it is only because of the special environment that the cause is triggered.
No longer having to worry about the condition of the beauties behind him, Li Ming also began to formally explore the environment of the underground palace.
The two of them walked towards the side of the corridor one after the other, carefully paying attention to all the terrain here, there were many stone doors on both sides of the corridor, the two of them roughly estimated, just walked out of a hundred meters, and they had already found more than a dozen stone doors on each side......
With so many rooms, what exactly is set by the system, the two of them are extremely surprised at the same time.
As the two of them continued to walk, they clearly felt that the slope of the corridor was getting higher and higher, and it seemed to be getting closer and closer to the ground.
When the two of them walked out of the distance of two hundred meters, at the end of the dark corridor in front of them, they finally saw a faint glimmer of light, but instead of the sun shining, the fire flickered.
"There's a situation ahead, let's be careful!" Li Ming reminded softly.
"Okay." Lonely as smoke nodded, the two of them bent their waists, reduced their footsteps, and quietly leaned against the side of the stone wall, constantly moving forward.
Not far away, the floor of the corridor had disappeared and was replaced by a high staircase, and the two of them stepped on the steps and continued towards the light at the end.
Now Li Ming had seen that at the end of the corridor was a corner hole, and the firelight was shining in from the exit on one side.
He pricked up his ears and continued to walk quietly, beginning to notice movement in the distance.
However, when the two of them reached the middle of the stairs and saw that they could only reach the end of the corridor by only a few tens of meters, they still did not find any special sound.
"I'll go over and see first, and I'll call you if it's safe to do so." Li Ming said.
"No, don't leave me here alone, even if it's dangerous, we'll hang up together." Lonely as smoke, he shook his head and said resolutely.
"Okay......" Li Ming had to continue to move forward, slowly walking to the end of the corridor with the beautiful woman......
The fire was shining, and at the end of the corridor was a passage that turned left, and when he stretched out his head and quietly glanced around the corner, he saw that a brightly lit corridor was empty, and nothing else was found.
On the stone walls on both sides of the corridor, the source of the hanging lights was not a prop such as a torch, but a large shining crystal, emitting a bright light like fire.
"Follow me." Li Ming paused for a moment, and did not notice danger, so he beckoned to rush out of the corridor first, and continued to enter the fire-lit passage along the steps......
The two of them walked up the steps quickly, and stood at the end of this long corridor, when two forks in the road appeared in front of them.
One is a downward staircase passage, zigzag and unclear where it leads to the ground.
The other is a step-up passage on the right.
"What kind of thing is this, and it also acts as a lighting tool." Lonely as smoke stood under the glittering crystal lamp on one side, looking up curiously.
"Look at the attributes, take me if you can take it off." Li Ming said.
On both sides of the stone wall at the end of the corridor, about three meters high, two lampholders are placed on each of them, and there are no props such as torches and oil lamps on the lampholders, but two fist-sized red crystals, emitting a flame-like light.
Lonely as smoke tried to retrieve the attributes of the two crystal lamps, and a system interface immediately popped up in front of him......
Flame Lamp: System item, cosmetic item, not obtainable.
……
A simple introduction to the system made the two completely dead, and the decoration props were unobtainable, indicating that these two crystal caves were environmental decoration props and could not be taken away by the players.
"Let's go, let's move on." Li Ming said.
He only has one idea now, first find the exit of the dungeon, find a way to contact other teammates, and then explore the mysteries of the dungeon together, otherwise with the ability of two people, it is too dangerous here.
What's more, Fan Hua must be about to break down after not appearing for so long......
"I listen to you." Lonely as Smoke nodded, and continued to follow him to choose the right upward passage, trailing all the way.
The upward passage turned out to be a spiraling staircase, and every time it turned around, it seemed that it came to the upper floor of the underground palace, which was also two forks in the road, the left side went down, and the right side continued to go up.
Li Ming didn't care so much, and continued to decide to leave the underground palace first, so he took the beauty all the way and chose to continue to explore upward.
Before they knew it, the two had climbed up to the three-story dungeon, and when they turned a passage again, there was only one passage left in front of them, connecting to a spacious grotto.
When the two of them cautiously walked into this grotto, there was no light in the dark cave, but they were greeted by countless fierce eyes with red light, and the owner of each pair of red eyes was a fierce wolf with a huge body!
And the wild wolf monsters in this cave, although they can't see the names above their heads, but their size is far beyond those wild wolf monsters in the forest, and at first glance they are obviously stronger monsters, and they are no longer the same kind of wild wolves......
Ah, so many monsters......
The two of them looked dumbfounded!
