Chapter Ninety-Nine: Entering the Labyrinth for the First Time

After exploring for a while, An Xu found that there were only two footprints in front of the passages, and they were the clearest, thinking that the large forces in front of him and the people of the Heavenly Dragon Empire were the two passages chosen.

In order to prevent bumping into these two teams, An Xu and the others unanimously chose one of the other two passages to enter.

The underground passage is not as narrow as everyone imagined, but very wide, just like walking on the street of Hidden Moon City, and it didn't take long for another room to appear in front, which was also the same structure as the previous room, but there was only a passage in three directions, and the other wall was sealed.

Anyway, An Xu and they couldn't tell the direction, so they simply picked a passage on the right to enter.

As he went deeper, he found that it didn't look like an underground labyrinth at all, but rather like an ancient city built around a temple of nature, and these passages were the city's transportation hubs, forming a huge network connecting the rooms.

And the Ancient Temple, somewhere in this big net!

An Xu said this idea, and everyone agreed very much, but there was no clue about where the ancient temple was.

"Well, it's a pity that we don't know anything about the structure of the city in ancient times, and the temple of nature is the most important building among them, and it must be located in the most critical location, otherwise we might be able to determine its general orientation." Doudou sighed.

For a rare time, Fanny voiced her opinion: "Could that be in the center?" ”

An Xu shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, if you look at Hidden Moon City, the most noble building is not in the most central location, this all depends on the design of the city, and even if it is really at the center point, we can't tell where the center is, in other words, we don't even know which location we are in now." ”

"Let's move on, one step at a time." Doudou thinks that instead of guessing here, it is useful to actually explore, and maybe some useful information can be found ahead.

After drilling the passage again, An Xu did not forget to make a simple mark at the intersection, so as not to be unable to remember the direction when he needed to return the same way.

Continuing to move forward, they were getting farther and farther away from the mouth of the crack, and An Xu felt that they had probably entered the bottom of the mountain, and even the air became dull, and as everyone stepped into the passage, a small 'squeak' sound sounded in front of them.

"It's annoying, you can run into these ghosts anywhere!" Doudou muttered and set up the alchemy hand crossbow.

This voice An Xu has met more than once or twice, it is those gold eaters who like to drill into the burrow, but their appearance is all expected by An Xu, like this ancient ruins, buried in the ground for many years, there are no burrowing creatures to occupy it is really strange.

"There are gold-devouring rats ahead, pay attention, don't run around alone now, I'll open the way, Doudou and Noel will scatter their wings, and Xu Wei will break Fanny in the middle!" An Xu set up his shield and led everyone forward at a uniform speed.

Xu Wei heard that there was a gold eater, her little face turned white, she didn't need An Xu's reminder, she had already hidden behind An Xu, if she could keep this agility, An Xu didn't have to worry about her.

"Ahh I hate rats the most. Su Yue also ran to An Xu's side, what profession is the most secure when encountering danger? Shield warriors, of course.

An Xu glanced at her and said, "Let's talk about it first, since you want to follow us, don't mess around at a critical time, otherwise I won't care about you if something goes wrong!" ”

Since getting Bingyan's confirmation, An Xu's vigilance against these two women has also relaxed a lot, and what he is most afraid of is that these two people have hidden their strength and have other intentions to blend into the crowd. If they really hunt for treasure with peace of mind, there is no problem with these two people, after all, the strength of the two of them has the capital to cooperate with their own team.

"It's really a merciless man, you don't care about me, you have to care about Sister Xiaohong, right?" Su Yue pursed her lips and said, seeing that An Xu showed signs of anger, she quickly closed her mouth: "Okay, good, I promise not to make trouble!" ”

Hongluan was beside Su Yue, and lowered her head shyly again when she heard this, although she was the oldest among all the people present, but judging from her reaction, it was clear that she was an innocent girl who had never been in the world.

Soon, with the help of the faint light of the glowing stone, An Xu saw scattered black shadows in the passage, staring at An Xu and their porcelain teeth with red eyes, as if warning them not to step into their own territory.

In the face of these gold-eating rats, An Xu is actually not too nervous, this kind of ordinary cave-dwelling creatures, an adult can also deal with two or three, not to mention that there are now four warriors with more than three stars in the team alone, as long as they don't encounter the rat tide, only a small amount of gold-eating rats can't pose a threat to the team.

It's not just An Xu who has passed here, if there is really a rat tide inside, I'm afraid there will be clues a long time ago.

An Xu is more worried, since there is a life of gold-eating rats here, will there be other terrifying burrowing creatures?

Although the fighting power of the Gold Eater Rats is not high, everyone does not want to waste their physical strength on them, because no one knows how many Gold Eater Rats are here. So everyone deliberately exuded their own combat energy, and these gold-devouring rats felt a huge threat, but they didn't dare to pounce.

In this way, the team slowly advanced under the gaze of the gold-devouring rats, and finally completed the passage, and to everyone's slight excitement, the passage entrance was not directly connected, but a gate stood in front of everyone.

In general, enclosed spaces are more likely to have preserved objects, but this door has been opened, and now it is in a state of concealment.

An Xu cautiously approached the past and observed carefully: "It was smashed open by brute force, and the fracture is still very new, and it should have been broken by the team that explored in front." ”

I don't know what kind of material this kind of door is made of, after so many years, it can still be preserved, and if it is replaced by an ordinary wooden door, I am afraid it has long been decayed.

"Damn, I was preempted!" Doudou said depressedly.

An Xu was very calm: "We came late, and this place is not very far from the entrance, so it is normal for people to be explored." It doesn't matter, if there are all such passages behind, there is a good chance that we will be able to find a place where no one has entered. ”

"Let's go take a look first, since someone has already come, there shouldn't be any danger!" Knorr said, pushing open the heavy door, and as soon as he entered the room, a strong smell of blood came to his nose.

"Ahh

Under the light of the Radiant Stone, not far from the entrance lay a gray-white corpse, huge and almost as wide as two adults, An Xu couldn't make out what kind of creature it was, because there were many gold-eating rats gnawing around this corpse, and it had already been unrecognizable.

An Xu handed the Radiant Stone to Su Yue on the side, and then swung an invisible qi blade, directly cutting a gold-devouring rat into two pieces, and the rest of the gold-devouring rats made a sharp sound, and then fled in all directions.

"Wow, I'll do that too!" Su Yue once again showed her presence, but she was once again ignored by everyone.

An Xu took back the Radiance Stone and carefully illuminated the room, the space here was slightly smaller than the previous room, but there were some strange objects on the ground, which were now stumbling all over the place, apparently having been thoroughly searched.

Other than that, there doesn't seem to be any danger.

"I've been dead for more than a day, the battle is fierce, many people have been wounded, and there are human blood stains next to it!" Knorr lifted his goggles and crouched on the ground to study.

"Well, this monster is very powerful, I guess there is more than one in the underground maze, everyone be careful!" An Xu reminded and continued to look at this room, which was speechless, and there were also three doors in this room, which meant that in addition to the direction they entered, there were two other passages leading to other places.

"What are you looking at?" Doudou couldn't help but be curious when he saw An Xu's eyes observing back and forth on these doors.

An Xu pointed to these doors and said suspiciously: "Wait, I found that we seem to have overlooked one thing, have you noticed that the size of these passages is actually a little different." ”
