The well was covered with a boxy stone, and there was nothing else to cover it.

"It's so easy to find it." So I crouched down and pushed the rock, and realized that there was no mechanism here, it was just an ordinary stone on top of it.

Yao Qianwen asked me suspiciously: "Uncle, shouldn't the city in the sky be in the sky?" ”

"Who said that if you call it a city in the sky, it must be in the sky? And, I didn't say, this is the entrance to the castle in the sky. Everything is what she calls the 'neighborhood kid'. I turned my gaze to Ayimu.

"Hmm...... But it's already here, why don't you open this well and see what is going on? ”

I grabbed the edge of the rock with both hands and lifted it hard, but it was still very heavy, and it would take two or three people to lift it up with the combined strength of a normal person.

So Ayimu looked at me suspiciously for a while.

Her doubts didn't seem to come from my extraordinary strength. She didn't ask anything, but a more interested smile gradually appeared on her face.

It was pitch black at the mouth of the well, and I couldn't fully illuminate it with the flashlight I had with me, except for what seemed to be a slope downward, and I didn't know exactly where it would lead. So I picked up a rock and threw it down the ramp, only to hear the stone sliding down, but not to hear it falling.

"I don't know the depth at all, but it feels like a long time." I thought about it, took out the rope from my backpack, this rope is about eighty meters long, I tied one end to the stone, and tied the other end to Yao Qianwen, "You go down and explore the way." ”

"Huh?!"

"Ha, you can't die."

"It hurts, and ...... And I'm afraid of the dark! ”

The second half of the sentence is a bit strange.

Afraid of the dark?

"Uncle, why don't you come with me, you ...... anyway You're not going to die easily, are you? She tugged at the corner of my coat.

"Okay......," I nodded, then turned my gaze to Ayimu, "let's go down and explore the way, and if it's safe to do so, we'll call you down." ”

"Uh-huh, no problem." She sat down on the stone I had just pushed away and smiled at me as if she were not threatening, "Wait for your good news." ”

"You said yes very happily."

"Or else? Should I say no first? Or, let you throw me down and make a way for you? She looked at me with a smile and didn't seem to have a problem with her response.

"Are you going to cut the rope for me halfway?"

"Oh my God, why? How do you think I am so bad? Besides, is it good for me to cut your rope? ”

"I'm kidding."

Then I tied an extra knot in the rope, tied my waist, and drilled into the wellhead with Yao Qianwen. She suddenly put her arms around me and was very close to me. Because of Du Youlan's face, I also had the same resistance to her, and I was very uncomfortable up and down for a moment, "What are you doing?!" ”

So this question seems to be a little fierce.

"I, I...... I'm going to hold you a little bit, or if you slide down, it's very uncomfortable, right? Uncle, why do you suddenly seem to be very nervous? ”

"You let go of your hands."

"Huh?" Although Yao Qianwen was puzzled, she still let go of her hand.

Then, I wrapped my hand around her waist, "I'll hold you, but don't hold me." ”

Speaking of which, in the past emergencies, Yao Qianwen seemed to have hugged me like this, but the resistance in her heart at that time was not obvious. I don't know why, it seems that as time goes by, I resist Du Youlan more and more. It's not that I'm tired of her, but I don't dare her get too close to me.

It's a phenomenon I've never been able to explain.

I loosened the rope little by little, and kept falling at a uniform speed with Yao Qianwen.

The passage in the well is inclined downward, not vertical, and slides to a relatively smooth level, and the whole process is very stable. After sliding some distance, I took the initiative to say, "What do you want to say to me?" ”

"Oh my God! I still want to wait and see, as if I am an uncle, I really know that I have something to say......"

"Less nonsense."

"Oh......" Yao Qianwen glared at me dissatisfied, and then looked up at the top, and only a little light could be seen from this distance. She was thoughtful, and then responded: "Actually, I didn't say everything just now, that woman is strange, and I don't like the way I look at me, I always feel that it is dangerous." ”

"I know, so what are you hiding?"

"I couldn't have escaped, you know, killing me in the middle of the day is as easy as playing a game. What's more, squatting at my resurrection point, I don't have the strength to escape...... So, someone actually saved me. ”

"I know, but who is that man? Forty-two? I can't think of anyone else but him right now. ”

That's what I'm worried about.

Although I think there is a high probability that Mina is not around here now, if Forty-Two does come here, then this probability will inevitably change. It is likely that what I thought was the perfect plan turned out to be an opportunity to fall into the enemy's trap.

The gains outweigh the losses, and it's a shame.

But Yao Qianwen's answer surprised me very much.

At least not at all......

“…… Actually, uncle, yes, it was 'you' who saved me like. ”62

"Me?!"

"Uh-huh...... I'm not kidding, I'm serious. But it shouldn't be you, we all changed our appearance when we went out, and that person was wearing your original face. And it's not quite like it in temperament, oh no, it's also similar, but I just think, it's not you. That's why I fled all the way to the cliff, and if I could see you, then my guess would be right. ”

"Could it be his ......?"

"Who?" Yao Qianwen looked at me curiously.

"Dry corpse...... In other words, it was Wei Heng's body. ”

My mind flashed through the memories of the past, from the gaze of the library, to the advanced tricks of blinding. Then they found me and followed me all the way here.

"Yes, although Du Youlan hasn't heard of it, I should have asked Wei Heng if that guy would be a trick." Many questions seem to have been answered at this moment.

But why didn't he just show up?

After saving Yao Qianwen, what will he do to Jingye? He doesn't seem to be an enemy, and he successfully unlocks the ability of the king worm, and he also relies on his help. But is everything really what it seems? I don't know, and I can't believe it easily.

Click!

At this moment, the rope was also put to the end by me.

However, it was still pitch black below, and it seemed that it could not reach the bottom for a while.

"Go up? Uncle? ”

"No, we ......"

I was just about to make a decision, and as a result, something above my head helped me make a decision.

The rope suddenly breaks! Yao Qianwen and I fell rapidly!

"Ahh Yao Qianwen shouted.

"Shut up!" I tried to balance as much as I could, shining my flashlight in front of me, fearing that a bunch of barbs and traps would suddenly appear in front of me and make this body scrap here. Thankfully, none of these dreams came true, and after a while of gliding, we landed without any problems.

Although it still hurts a lot, under the cushioning of the slide, it still avoids a considerable part of the impact.

"Hey, it hurts, it hurts......" Yao Qianwen rubbed her ass and stood up, untying the rope by the way, "What's the matter, this rope is so strong." ”

"Shhhh......h

"Huh?" She was originally puzzled, but when she looked in the direction of the flashlight, her mouth grew slightly, "This, this is ......"

Right in front of us, at the end of the cave, there was a semi-oval door, under which stood eight giants, each with different weapons and statues. But looking at the ground in front of the door at his feet, with its checkered structure like a chess board, this picture reminds me of some kind of mechanism record in Huang Quan's memory.

Goalkeeper.

"It looks like we're having a hard time getting in."

That being said, the corners of his mouth showed an uncontrollable smile.

This smile was discovered by Yao Qianwen, and she asked suspiciously: "But uncle, you seem to be very happy, what is this?" Why can't I get in? ”

"These eight dummies are a kind of powerful mechanism. It's quite a hassle to deal with. Even before, it would have taken me a while to destroy it all, and even more so now. ”

"Uncle, don't you have that memory in your head? Is there no way to do it? ”

I thought about it for a moment and responded: "There are two ways, one is that the gatekeeper will also have a 'stop gate', but there are eight of them, and they take care of each other, which is basically difficult to find, and even if you find it, when you touch one of the 'stop gates', you will be attacked by the other seven." Therefore, if you can't do it, not only are you not enough, but if you have enough people, you may not all have good skills. ”

"What are you stupid about if it's so troublesome?"

"Trouble is trouble, but there are eight trap cores in the gatekeeper's body, and if I can disassemble them, with my current ability, I can replicate these eight traps. No, if you add her ability, the goalkeeper god I created will be stronger than these eight. Later, there are many uses. ”

"I was thinking about exploding equipment......

"That's right, that's what I thought." As she spoke, I looked at Yao Qianwen with ill will.

She was also quite smart, and immediately understood my thoughts, "Uncle, you just said that there are two ways to pass the test, and the second one should not be related to me, right?" ”

"Yes, the solution is ......"

I was about to say when I heard the sound of something falling behind me.

Looking back, it was a person who had fallen, and it was Aimu. She didn't cry out in pain, but asked me how I was, "...... The rock at the mouth of the well was so sharp that it cut the rope, and it was too late for me to find out. Are you alright? ”

I looked at her and remembered the neat cut at the end of the rope I had picked up when it had just fallen, and it seemed as if it was still in front of my eyes.

So I nodded and smiled, "Really?" The stone was really sharp. ”

"Huh? What is that? Stone statues? Aimu also found the gatekeeper and immediately walked over curiously.

"Wait! Don't go there yet! ”

Unfortunately, I shouted a little slower, but maybe it wasn't my problem, Ayimu's footsteps were fast, and even momentarily avoided the hand I was about to pull her back.

Then, he stepped into the attack range of the gatekeeper.
