Chapter 196: The Underground Void
December 26, 531 in the Magic Calendar
15:24, Kingdom of Roses, Hollow Underground.
From the dry well at the entrance of Liuli Village to the underground cavity, there is only one road found at present, and Marshall trotted all the way towards Meng Tianyu.
When Marshall caught up with Meng Tianyu, Meng Tianyu only had a short sleeve left on his body. The rest of the clothes were tied around the waist.
Marshall wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Mr. Meng, have you found any traces of Hongying or other people?" β
Meng Tianyu's footsteps did not stop, and he still walked quickly. He frowned solemnly, let out a long snort through his nose, shook his head, and said, "Not yet." β
"I didn't expect it to be so big." Marshall said.
Meng Tianyu suddenly stopped: "There is a fork in the road." β
"Then divide the army into two ways."
"Wait a minute." Meng Tianyu looked at the two forks in the road, looking at the distance that he couldn't see clearly, he raised his hand to let the water vapor fill the fork in front of him little by little.
Marshall turned to look at him, and the knights behind them also stopped, licked their somewhat dry lips, bent down to support their knees with their hands, and took the opportunity to rest for a while.
Meng Tianyu's gaze turned to the fork in the road on the right, and then ran straight over.
Marshall and the knights didn't have much to talk to, and strode with Meng Tianyu.
There were only footsteps and wheezing along the way.
I don't know how long I walked, Meng Tianyu had to face more and more forks in the road, so the magic power consumed was getting bigger and bigger. He looked at the labyrinth-like cavern underground, but he never found any useful clues.
He bit his lower lip and turned his head to look at the forks in the road around him that led in all directions. He furrowed his brows, clenched his fist and hammered it hard into his left palm: "Damn! β
Marshall patted Meng Tianyu on the shoulder and said, "Calm down." β
Meng Tianyu turned to glare at Marshall, and Marshall could see the anger in Meng Tianyu's eyes very clearly.
Meng Tianyu forcefully opened Marshall's hand and said, "Calm down? You calm me down? How do you calm me down? β
Marshall looked at Meng Tianyu and the corners of his mouth hooked up disdainfully and said, "If you don't calm down, how can you find Hongying?" I don't believe you can find her with your abilities, but since you say you can find her, you shouldn't let her down. β
Meng Tianyu glanced at Marshall, and his eyes softened slightly. He tilted his head, let out a long sigh and said, "Whewβcalm down, calm down......"
Marshall looked at the fork in the road around him, feeling that after turning around, he had lost his bearings.
After Meng Tianyu calmed down, he began to slowly recall the road he had traveled along the way. He closed his eyes, recalling in his mind the map he had drawn with his water magic.
Meng Tianyu found that the underground cavities could spread almost all over the Rose Kingdom.
Meng Tianyu said: "The exits that have been discovered now are basically one in every area. β
Marshall asked, "Then how do we find the direction of their escape?" β
Meng Tianyu rolled his eyes and said, "Look, keep looking, if you pass by, there will definitely be traces." β
Marshall looked at the knights and said, "Everyone should look carefully and carefully, and don't miss a trace of man-made." β
The knights began to scatter and search.

Meng Tianyu sat at the fork in the road, sketching a map with water magic.
After a while, the knights all returned to Meng Tianyu's surroundings.
The knight said, "No more forks in the road were found, they were all dead ends." β
Meng Tianyu raised his eyes and looked at the knights: "Are they all back?" β
The knights looked at each other and said, "All have returned." β
Marshall stood behind Meng Tianyu, wrinkled his nose, and hugged his shoulders with his hands: "Why is it all a dead end?" β
He scratched the top of his head, brushed his hair, and leaned back against the wall. But he stumbled and found that his eyes had instantly turned into darkness.
Marshall took a step forward, and Meng Tianyu and the knights all appeared again. He turned his head to look at the rock wall and held out his hand. Hands can pass through the rock wall.
"Meng Tianyu, it's a trick!" Marshall shouted excitedly.
Meng Tianyu jumped up suddenly: "Because the twists and turns have completely lost their sense of direction, it is easy to be deceived by the scene in front of them." He happily walked over to Marshall, "Marshall, thank you." β
Marshall shrunk his neck and looked at Meng Tianyu: "You suddenly said that, I'm not used to it." β
Meng Tianyu patted Marshall's shoulder hard, walked through the wall, groped for the wall in the dark, and found a cold machine.
He raised his foot and kicked it hard, and the wall disappeared in an instant.
Meng Tianyu said: "No wonder I can't find your fork in the road, it's anger and impulsiveness that blind my perception." β
He turned his head to look at the knights and said, "Xihaitang should send more people over, and you should leave some people to meet them." β
Marshall nodded and said, "Those who can't bear it can stay, and those who can stand it can come to me." β
Only a few of the knights were too weak to be left here.
The other knights lined up to recover some of their strength under Marshall's healing and continued to walk.
Marshall walked beside Meng Tianyu with a torch, and Meng Tianyu walked with a constantly updated map, looking around and touching the wall to confirm. He stopped abruptly and raised his hand: "Wait a minute. β
Marshall's expression was serious: "What's wrong?" β
Meng Tianyu took a step back and said, "Stand back, step back!" Fast! β
The knights didn't care so much and ran backwards as fast as they could.
"There's a very strange feeling," Marshall said. β
Meng Tianyu snatched the torch from Marshall's hand and said, "You go first." He slowly backed away, his eyes narrowed and stared at the dimly lit ahead.
The ground began to shake, and the temperature around it began to rise.
"Is there something approaching?" Marshall didn't evacuate quickly, he kept a certain distance from Meng Tianyu.
Meng Tianyu glanced back and asked, "Why don't you withdraw?" β
"I can't leave you here alone, you can't die, you have to save Hongying! If Hongying saw that it wasn't you who saved her, she would be very disappointed. Marshall's tone was very calm.
Meng Tianyu frowned: "When is this, you can still say this." Aren't you worried? β
Marshall said, "Big deal, you're dying with me." β
The vibration became more and more intense, and before Meng Tianyu could see what would appear in front of him, he had already felt a heat wave, and the air was still mixed with a pungent smell.
Meng Tianyu shook his head: "You can't take risks, withdraw!" Withdraw first! β
He and Marshall turned around and quickened the pace of retreat, and Meng Tianyu suddenly stepped on the projection machine that had been kicked and shattered before, and he stopped.
Marshall saw Meng Tianyu stop and looked at him in a panic: "What are you doing?" β
"Could this be a trick too?" Meng Tianyu turned his head.
Marshall's eyes were fixed on the distance, and his teeth were clenched.
Meng Tianyu took the initiative to return to the dark fork in the road, the vibration under his feet has been continuing, and there are also bursts of heat waves in front of him, but after a long time, he will find that although some small stones and dust will fall because of the vibration, this vibration has not caused any damage and rupture of the cave at all.
"It's weird." He lit up the ground with a torch, and he held his forehead, smiled wordlessly, and said, "Huh! Deceived again! β
Marshall looked at the ground with Meng Tianyu's gaze, and laughed speechlessly: "Hahaha, this angry mechanism!" β
Meng Tianyu said: "Using the dim environment to obstruct my vision makes us more cautious than usual, really nervous, and indeed easy to be afraid. There was magma all the way, and our first reaction was that magma was coming at us. β
Marshall raised his head and looked at Meng Tianyu: "But it's because you didn't run away at the first time, so you can find something suspicious." β
"These are all designed tricks."
"It's all the more provative......"
Meng Tianyu looked at Marshall: "This path is correct. β
"Although the road is winding and round, it is all going south." Marshall followed Meng Tianyu and continued to walk forward.
Meng Tianyu held a torch forward: "Peony Kingdom, the people who kidnapped Hongying and Luying, their destination is in the Peony Kingdom. β
Meng Tianyu and Marshall ran forward, passing through various traps and various tricks along the way. Some shot arrows and knives out of the walls, and some fell snakes and scorpions from the tops.
Soon they saw light in the distance. They thought they had made their way out of the narrow cavern, but they didn't expect the exit to be on a rock wall.
Once again, they saw a huge cavern with hot lava beneath the rock face.
Meng Tianyu and Marshall were completely unable to confirm whether the magma below was real or a trick.
Meng Tianyu twisted his eyebrows: "How should we go down?" β
Marshall looked at the magma pool ahead of him and didn't speak.
Meng Tianyu stretched out his hand and probed the water magic downward, but the high temperature of the magma pool below instantly evaporated the water magic.
His magic couldn't even touch anything below. This made Meng Tianyu panic.
Marshall said: "Along the way, all kinds of traps are real and false, and we have been walking with fear. They deliberately use our eyes to lead us into the trap they have set. β
Meng Tianyu looked at Marshall: "But we don't use our eyes to judge things, what else can we use to judge?" β
Marshall sighed and shook his head: "I don't know. I wish it was all fake right now. β
Meng Tianyu said to himself: "But my magic power can't reach the bottom, I can't judge ......"
Suddenly he froze there.
"Meng Tianyu, what's wrong with you?"
Meng Tianyu laughed: "I know!" I know! β
Meng Tianyu ran towards the exit and jumped forward.
Marshall was startled and shouted, "Meng Tianyu! β
18:00, Peony Kingdom, Royal Institute.
In a room filled with blue and white diagonal stripes, there are only two beds. Red Ying and Green Ying were dressed in white wide clothes, and various tubes were inserted into their bodies. A wire connects the two beds from the corner of the room.
There was a person sitting outside the room in front of the monitor: "Here it is." β
