Outside the city. It was getting late.

Duanmu Tsubasa looked at the sun setting towards the horizon and sighed.

According to Ankang's instructions before leaving, they formed a fortress with horse-drawn carriages in the open space near the city gate. Except for those in charge of reconnaissance, everyone must stay in the fort and not go out.

They stayed here all day. The beasts of the city did not rush out of the city, and they did not rush into the city. he who

Everyone was waiting for the signal from the city to come from Ankang.

However, since An Kang and the other three entered the city early in the morning, it was almost dark now, and there was no signal in the city.

They heard only a tiger roar in the distance, followed by a few long cries of birds, and then there was no movement in the city.

Whether An Kang and the others are alive or dead, they don't know anything. Standing on the frame of the carriage, Duanmu Wing looked at the city wall for a long time, and there was still no sign of any beast there. The street that could be faintly seen from the city gate that had been burned down by Ankang was also deserted, and there was no trace of any animal walking.

Duanmu Yi jumped out of the carriage and said to An Yiyu, Song Xiayang and the others: "Brother Ankang asked us to wait for his signal outside the city, but now it is almost dark, and the signal has not yet come." As he commanded, we had to go down the mountain before it got dark. ”

An Yiyu said: "If my brother doesn't come out, I won't leave here." ”

An Fu patted his two banana fans and nodded vigorously.

Song Xiayang also said: "I came here to help my eldest brother." The eldest brother went to Longtan alone today, and we couldn't follow him, so I couldn't live with him. You can't escape at this point. ”

"Brother Xiayang," Duanmu Yi said, "Brother Ankang gave me the task of preserving the lives of all of you. So now you must listen to me. Evacuate to the bottom of the mountain as soon as possible before it is completely dark. I'll figure it out later. ”

Duanmu Yi pointed at Anfu and said, "Brother Anfu, it's up to you to take the lead." You and your sister drive the road in a horse-drawn carriage. I took the last car to take the line. The rest of the carriages were in the middle. Stand in a row and retreat calmly, and don't mess up. ”

There was a lot of disturbance outside the city, but the city was quiet.

The canopy fell.

Gushan Castle was once again in the dark, as if everything was asleep at this time.

……

……

After Ankang, Nangong Ming, and Xiaoliu rested, they began to walk along the secret passage again.

At first, they were terrified of the possibility of hiding beasts that could sneak up on them in the secret passages, but gradually this fear was replaced by the secret passages themselves. Although there are no forks in this secret passage, there are countless possibilities for the direction it leads, and everything exists in the unknown.

The three of them walked like this for a while, rested for a while, and then walked on again.

In order to avoid constantly circling in the same place, Ankang asked Nangong Ming to evolve a wooden stick with a wood-based skill, and then Ankang used a fire-based skill to scorch one end of the wooden stick, and used the blackened wooden stick to make some marks on the walls along the road.

But along the way, none of the marks they had made before were seen again. In other words, they are not repeating the same old path.

I don't know how long it took for them to finally reach the end of the secret passage.

They almost collapsed when they saw the end. Because this end of the passage is also a wall.

In other words, no matter which way they went in this secret passage, they would run into a wall, and they were trapped in the middle of this huge passage.

If they know that this secret passage will lead to a vast world, then no matter how far they go, they still have hope. But now that hope has been completely dashed. Both ends of this passage were blocked by boulders.

The three of them were like three worms that had inadvertently entered a pipe. Now both sides of the pipeline are blocked. The result? It's hard not to die.

Ankang has already made up N different ways to die in an instant-

One of the ways to die is to deplete the oxygen in the secret passage. Suffocation.

The second way to die is the seepage of water in a secret passage below the surface of the water. Drown.

The third way to die, no one cares. Starve.

The fourth way to die is to cause mental problems in a cramped space. Died of madness.

The fifth way to die,......

There are all kinds of ways to die at your disposal, which makes people with choice syndrome very entangled.

Ankang really couldn't think about it anymore, and he didn't want to do this kind of multiple-choice question.

Sleepiness hits. The biological clock has begun to prompt three people, and it is now evening.

I don't know what happened to the people outside the city. Since there was no signal to them, I wish they had all withdrawn to the bottom of the mountain.

It's not that Ankang doesn't want to send a signal, but before the carriage falls into the pool, Ankang doesn't realize that he can't get out since then.

Ankang rubs the jade pendant and activates the small universe. He asked Nangong Ming to evolve thorn bushes on both sides of the secret passage, and then let Nangong Ming and Xiao Liu go into the small universe to sleep. Stay in the secret passage and see if there will be any movement next.

Xiao Liu insisted on refusing, he wanted to stay in the secret passage and let An Kang enter the small universe to rest.

Ankang thought that he and Nangong Yang still needed to meditate to recover their Force, so he told Xiao Liu to come in from the gate of time and space in two hours and call him and Nangong Ming to get up, and then took Nangong Ming into the small universe.

Although the space of the small universe is also limited, there is still a space of a few acres of land, which is much more comfortable than in the secret passage.

After Ankang and Nangong Ming finished meditating, they went to sleep.

When they woke up, the force, energy, and physical strength of the two of them had recovered a lot.

After coming out of the small universe, Ankang let Xiao Liu sleep in the small universe. He and Nangong Ming continued to explore the way.

I used to run in this secret passage, but I didn't carefully check the situation in this secret passage. Maybe there's something hidden.

After all, if the original intention of this secret passage was to trap people inside, only a small space would be enough, so why bother with such a large project?

An Kang held his fire-tied torch, Nangong Ming held his wooden-tied torch, and the two of them paid attention to the left and the right. Finally, an anomaly was spotted on one of the walls.

There is a seal script engraved on the wall. That's a "Xun" character.

When An Kang brought the jade pendant close to the word, Nangong Ming saw a circular glimmer above his head.

"It's supposed to be an institution." Ankang said to Nangong Ming.

Nangong Ming had previous experience, and obviously knew that this was an institution.

The roof of this secret passage is built so high that ordinary people can't touch it even if they see the mechanism above their heads.

Ankang naturally had no way to touch this mechanism, however, who asked him to bring a Nangong Ming who knew wood skills. Nangong Ming evolved a long wooden stick and pushed it towards the middle of the glimmer.

With the "click" of the mechanism, there was a sound of stones grinding against the wall, and after a while, a boulder on the wall moved away, revealing a secret passage behind the boulder.

It's another secret passage.

The Ankang probe looked into the secret passage and saw that the other end of the secret passage led to a hall with a stone tower and six stone pillars. However, the towers and columns were blue, and it was clear that this was not the hall they had just been.

An Kang had just taken a few steps forward in the secret passage when suddenly a very strong wind blew in front of him, knocking him to the ground. Ankang had just gotten up from the ground, and suddenly there was another strong gust of wind, which was stronger than the gust just now, and directly blew Ankang out of the secret passage and pasted it on the wall.

Ankang and the wall are so tightly attached that they can't slip down. Ankang's face felt as if someone had twisted it with his fingers. In such a strong wind, it is impossible to keep the eyes open.

Nangong Ming used his wood-based skills to evolve a vine to trap An Kang, trying to tear him off, but failed. Ankang is too tight.

While Ankang was struggling, the wind suddenly stopped again.

An Kang's body slid heavily to the ground.

Ignoring the pain in his body, An Kang quickly avoided the entrance to the secret passage. As soon as he dodged, another strong wind blew through the secret passage. Although Ankang and Nangong Ming did not stand at the tuyere, they were also blown to the ground.

"Close this stone door!" An Kang shouted at Nangong Ming.

The wind was so strong that Nangong Ming couldn't hear what An Kang said at all.

An Kang crawled to Nangong Ming's side, pointed to the top of his head and said loudly to his ear: "Turn off the mechanism!" ”

Nangong Ming nodded.

When the wind stopped again, Nangong Ming quickly used his wooden skills to evolve a wooden stick and stabbed the mechanism on it.

The stone door shut.

The two people who had palpitations leaned against the wall of the secret passage to calm their hearts.

"This road doesn't work, let's find another way." An Kang said.

The two got up and walked forward. After walking for about half an hour, I found another mark on the wall, which was the word "earthquake".

Thinking of the wind blowing out of the secret passage marked "Xun" just now, Ankang knew that this shock word should also be the same as the word "Xun", a word in the gossip.

Each word in the gossip represents a meaning. But Ankang doesn't have much research on gossip, so he naturally doesn't know what the word "earthquake" represents.

"Nangong, what does this earthquake mean?"

"Earthquake represents thunder."
