[Found it.] There's a dent here! 】

Jade said as she looked at the depression in the stone wall in front of her.

[This depression ......]

Liu Xianyu looked at the size of the depression, then took out the golden eagle crest from the inside of the full-fed frog and gently put it into the groove. The lower part of the golden eagle coat of arms was tightly embedded inside, and with a click, the stone wall in front of him suddenly opened from the middle to reveal a two-person wide passage, and on the other side of the passage was a brightly lit hall, and a group of people were standing in the hall.

The group were all dressed in strange robes, and they had small daggers in their hands and were carving some pattern on their arms

【……】

【……】

Both groups were surprised by the presence of the other, and after a few seconds of silence, the wave of people inside suddenly woke up.

[Discovered, kill them!] 】

About a dozen people took out weapons together, like Liu Xianyu, and they rushed over.

[Shield of Light!] 】

Ekatelis stepped forward and summoned a shield of light, blocking the small exit.

[Hurry back!] 】

Liu Xianyu knew that they were by no means the opponents of these people, and the only hope of escape was to use the dark and narrow passage behind him, so Liu Xianyu had a plan, he walked to the front and stood side by side with Ikatris and beat all the wind elements in his body.

Several wind blades hit the four sides of the passage in a row, and the person on the opposite side saw it and said with a sneer:

[Boy, you are on time, such a small passage can be crooked? 】

Liu Xianyu ignored their ridicule, but said in Ikateris's ear:

[Run, the passage is about to collapse!] 】

Ikatris listened to Liu Xianyu's words, the knight's sword in his hand swung hard, forced the enemy in front of him to retreat, and ran backwards without looking back, just when these people were strange, there was a clicking sound in the passage beside him.

[Not good...... That kid's attack just now actually destroyed the tunnel! 】

Afraid of the tunnel that would collapse at some point, those people didn't chase it out, but the tunnel in front of them began to collapse little by little, blocking their way out, but these people didn't panic at all.

[Now you can only go out from the other side? 】

One of the men said as he looked at the collapsed tunnel, unaware that an accomplice next to him was holding the slender long knife in his hand tightly.

Liu Xianyu on the other side, the three of them listened to the constant rumbling sound around them, and fled frantically in the tunnel, running in front, Jade shouted while running:

What's going on? Why is the tunnel collapsing all of a sudden? 】

【…… I just wanted to block the entrance, why did it keep collapsing here! 】

Liu Xianyu said as he ran.

[Probably because the tunnel itself is not strong. 】

Ikatris said as she protected her head.

The four of them ran wildly all the way and finally stopped when the passage around them turned into a brick and stone building, and the collapse had stopped behind them at some point, and the sound did not come again.

[Whew...... Whew]

Jade sat directly on the ground and gasped for breath.

[Those people are very strange! Could it be some kind of underground organization? 】

Liu Xianyu leaned against the wall and said.

[I don't know, but there's no doubt that there's something hidden underneath this!] 】

Emerald rose from the ground.

[Wait a minute, if this passage collapses, those people inside shouldn't be trapped alive inside, right? ] 】

Liu Xianyu suddenly remembered this question.

【…… Probably not, right? 】

Jade didn't dare to say surely.

[Why don't we go tell the guards that this side has collapsed?] 】

[It's okay, there is no exit in the passage below, and Tachibana feels the flow of air below.] 】

Tachibana said suddenly.

[Really? 】

Liu Xianyu looked at Tangerine.

[Really. 】

[That's fine, if they really get trapped inside, I won't be able to sleep.] 】

Liu Xianyu has killed a lot of monsters and beasts since he came to this other world, but he really hasn't killed people, and he doesn't want to kill people.

[But I think those people's actions are a bit like a cult, after all, the underground organization didn't force others to draw ...... on their hands]

Liu Xianyu suddenly held back in the middle of his words, and he suddenly remembered that this kind of thing seemed to be impossible to say in front of Ikatris.

[Cult...... Cult...... That's right, it must be a cult that still hurts itself on the arm in that dark place! 】

Ikatris grabbed Liu Xianyu's shoulder.

[Hyunwoo, we can't just let the glory of the goddess be tarnished! We have to go back and purify those who have gone astray! 】

Ikatris's eyes flashed with piety, but unfortunately in Liu Xianyu's eyes, this light was more terrifying than the most terrifying cult.

[No, no, Theris, think about how the four of us can be the opponents of so many people, not to mention that the passage has been blocked and we can't go back. 】

Liu Xianyu said to her with a sincere face.

Are you going to watch those people go astray? They may be sacrificed by those cults to evil gods that don't even exist! 】

(No, no, no, they are sacrificed to death at most one or two, and if they meet you, they will probably all be purified by you.) ）

Liu Xianyu looked at Ikateris in front of him and suddenly thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.

[In this way, Thelis, I have a way to get the best of both worlds, that is, we first tell the guards about these people being buried inside, and then say that these people may be a cult organization, so that when the guards come to rescue them, they can be wiped out, not more safe and effective than you going yourself! 】

【…… Indeed, worthy of Xianyu, you were indeed sent by the goddess to guide me. I almost got carried away by the impulse. 】

(No, no, it's not the impulse that overwhelms you, it's the goddess!) ）

Liu Xianyu complained in his heart.

So the four of them ran to the guards and told the guards everything that happened before, Liu Xianyu naturally concealed their original purpose and the destruction of the tunnel, just saying that the tunnel was broken inexplicably.

The guards who listened to him sighed dissatisfiedly

[I know that those stupid people will have an accident sooner or later, it's just a ceremony to commemorate the ancestors, where to go, I have to choose the dilapidated underground passage, this time something will happen! ] 】

[If you want me to say, they should be locked up at the bottom and reflect on it overnight!] 】

Another soldier next to him gloated.

【…… What do you say they're doing down there? 】

Liu Xianyu and his entourage looked at the soldiers in front of them in disbelief, and the soldiers laughed at their disbelieving eyes:

[Every year, outsiders like you misunderstand, don't be afraid...... Those guys were just soldiers who had died defending Black Moe before sacrificing in that dilapidated tunnel. 】
