Chapter 288: Underground Labyrinth

I entered the wooden bridge sunk at the bottom of the lake with Ouyang Ze, the ground was slippery, and I almost fell, but fortunately, Ouyang Ze helped me.

I looked at him and shook my head slightly and said, "I'm fine, it's just that it looks a little strange here." ”

Ouyang Ze looked at me and smiled slightly and said, "What's so strange, whether it's the ghost world or the underworld, you've been to the two strangest places, what else is here?!" ”

"Yes."

I couldn't help but smile when I looked at him, it was true that this place was nothing compared to the ghost world and the underworld.

Maybe it's just some innate awe of water, and now I'm a little scared when I swim in the water.

Ouyang Ze helped me to go down cautiously step by step, originally the wooden bridge was curvature, and it became a little slippery after being soaked in water.

The further down you go, the deeper it gets, the dimmer the light becomes. I took a flashlight from the backpack I was carrying with me and looked at it, and I didn't think the wooden bridge was very long.

But I don't know why, I feel that Ouyang Ze and I have been walking for a long time, and we haven't reached the bottom to join Xiao Wu and them.

And the further down the slope becomes, the steeper it gets, and there seem to be some moss-like plants growing on the wooden bridge. Now it's even more slippery after being soaked in water.

Although I am desperately grasping this Ouyang Ze, I am also a little unstable. In the end, I simply took a cushion from my bag and sat down, while Ouyang Ze dragged me to slide behind.

After walking for more than half an hour, I finally stopped and stopped sliding down. I took a flashlight and shone the surroundings to the bottom, and then I went uphill.

However, the open space here is not large, and Ouyang Ze and I did not see the shadows of Xiao Wu and William. I don't know if the two of them haven't come down or have gone somewhere, but with Xiao Wu's personality, I know that he won't act alone.

Ouyang Ze pulled me tightly and turned around on the ground, but he didn't find any trace of Xiao Wu. I couldn't help but be a little worried, afraid that something would happen to him.

At this time, suddenly Ouyang Ze was stunned and reached out to take out the incense burner. I saw that the incense burner slowly lit up, and the light was not inferior to the flashlight.

Suddenly, I felt a shake under my feet, and I hurriedly reached out and grabbed Ouyang Ze beside me. I only felt that my feet were empty, and the whole person fell down, Ouyang Ze held the incense burner in one hand and hugged me tightly with the other.

And in horror, he looked at the almost turbid lake around him, and there were faint dark shadows in it, but he couldn't see what it was.

It was as if we had fallen into a shaft surrounded by water, and we kept falling. Soon I could see a faint light underneath me, and it was getting bigger and bigger.

Two figures were revealed, and I recognized Xiao Wu standing on the side at a glance. As if they knew we were going to fall from above, they gave up the middle place and looked up at us in unison.

Fortunately, Ouyang Ze was holding me, so the posture of our landing was not ugly. Xiao Wu hurriedly came over and helped me and asked, "How is it?" ”

I looked at him and suddenly couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm fine, I just didn't see you and was startled." ”

Although the light is a little dim down here, there are two incense burners that are much brighter. I obviously saw Xiao Wu's little face flushed slightly, and hurriedly lowered his head.

I didn't dare to continue to tease him, Ouyang Ze looked at me with a slight smile and said, "An An, hold on to me." ”

"Okay."

I looked at him and nodded, knowing he was worried about me. I reached out and grabbed his arm, leaving his hand empty.

"Then let's move on."

William said to lead the way in front, and Ouyang Ze and I looked at Xiao Wu in unison. After all, they are further down than us, and they must already have a certain understanding of this place.

And Ouyang Ze and I just came down and didn't know anything, and we didn't trust William very much, so we didn't dare to rush forward.

Xiao Wu looked at us and nodded and said, "I'll be back." ”

"Okay."

Ouyang Ze nodded, stretched out his hand and handed the incense burner in his hand to Xiao Wu, who hesitated for a moment and took it.

"Be careful."

He said and pulled me along, and I took a closer look at the structure. This is supposed to be the bottom of the lake, and the road under your feet is paved with stones.

It looks like it's all over the place, and there's a lot of space. William walked in front of him with a familiar look, and I couldn't help but look at Ouyang Ze.

He didn't show any expression, just pulled me along. didn't speak, but the little five behind him didn't make a little sound from time to time.

I was relieved to hear his voice, the passage on this side was like a labyrinth, but fortunately there were no mechanisms.

I couldn't help but secretly rejoice, and I also had some doubts in my heart. I don't know what this mage built the altar for under this lake, not to mention the waste of financial and material resources when building it, it is not convenient to go out and enter.

I thought as I walked inside behind Ouyang Ze, but there was almost no difference in the surroundings. I always have the feeling of going around in circles, but I don't want to talk too much.

After all, each of them has a better sense of direction than me, and I don't know that after walking for too long, my legs and feet are a little numb, and William is still walking unhurriedly in front.

Suddenly, William in front of me stopped, and my heart couldn't help but shrink and look around nervously.

"What's wrong?"

Ouyang Ze looked at me and took a few steps forward and asked.

"We're here."

William looked at us as he spoke, a little surprised in his heart. I couldn't help but be a little excited, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

But after a few steps, I felt that something was wrong, and I felt as if someone was staring at me. For a while, I felt extremely uncomfortable, and I stood stunned and looked at the lake outside the passage.

Suddenly, a figure crashed towards us, but fortunately the passage was protected by an enchantment and did not break in.

It was bounced out in an instant, and I was so scared that I forgot to scream. He could only stand in place and pant heavily, clutching Ouyang Ze and asking, "What was that just now?!" ”

"It should be the bodies of those residents who sank to the bottom of the lake."

Seeing that we stayed where we were and didn't continue walking, William came over to look at me and said calmly.

I glanced at him and felt more and more as if he had been here. Otherwise, how could they know so much about this place, and know so clearly.

"Oh."

I looked at him blankly and said, then turned my head to look at the place where the figure had just rushed over. Suddenly, a rotten face appeared in front of me, and the eyes were gone, leaving only black holes.

She was floating in front of me, less than a foot away from me. I was instantly scared into a cold sweat, and even my breathing was a little unsmooth.

Ouyang Ze hurriedly grabbed me and took a few steps back with me in his arms.

The clothes on the corpse of this woman were already rotten and I couldn't see clearly, but there were some things hanging on her body, and I didn't know if it was cloth or aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake.

She kept hitting the barrier between us with the current, shaking like a fish floating on the water.

It's just that even though I'm through the water, I can see that her skin has become dark purple and even a little black.

It seems that this is the villager who has turned into a dried corpse recorded in the document, and I wonder why I only saw it once.

William suddenly said with some anxiety: "Let's go, you will lure them all over." Then the barrier will be breached, and you will not be able to get out of the lake after the water pours in. ”

Ouyang Ze hurriedly walked forward with me in his arms, and I couldn't help but look back at the female corpse. But I saw a scene that made me creepy, next to the female corpse, I don't know when rows of dense corpses began to appear.

Among them were adults and children, men and women. They kept hitting the barrier with the current, and the moment I turned around, the barrier was already concave in pieces.

In an instant, my legs were a little weak, although I could often see some things that ordinary people couldn't see when I didn't know Ming Yichen before.

I was a little scared at first, but I got used to it. Although after meeting Ming Yichen later, the things he saw were even more bloody and violent.

But I have never been so frightened as I am now, and the sight of such dense corpses constantly rushing towards me is really numb.

Ouyang Ze pressed his hand on my head, broke my head stiffly, and leaned on his shoulder.

Then he walked briskly forward with me, and my mind continued to cross the sight of the female corpse floating towards me.

And the dense corpses kept swinging in the same position, constantly hitting the barrier with their bodies. It's like trying to escape, and since ancient times, people have been paying attention to the earth after death.

But these innocent villagers were all turned into dried corpses overnight, not to mention that there was no peace even after death. I don't know who or why I did it.

I shuddered at the thought of my parents, but thankfully they were sent back. Otherwise, if they become like this, they will be sunk under the lake.

I don't know if I'll be able to hold on.

Ouyang Ze walked quickly, and he said softly as he walked: "An An, don't think about that. ”

But those images kept pouring into my mind, and I didn't dare to close my eyes for fear that once I closed my eyes, I would see more clearly.

Just with my eyes open, I can't help but want to look at the lake around me. Even if Ouyang Ze hugged me tightly, I still wanted to see it uncontrollably.

That female corpse seemed to have enough of my soul, and I couldn't help it. Although I felt a little strange in my heart, my body was out of control.

Gradually, even my consciousness became a little blurred, and I only felt that Ouyang Ze was holding me and running towards the passage.

And the corpse of the woman floated towards me right behind me, getting closer and closer.

Suddenly, a tingling pain rushed straight into my brain, and I woke up suddenly. I looked in amazement at the enlarged face in front of me, and at the warm lips.

I hurriedly pushed him away, and Ouyang Ze's face appeared in front of me in its normal form. It's just that he still hugged me and didn't let go, I covered my mouth and felt a terrible headache on my tongue.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he happened to meet the murderous gaze of Xiao Wu behind Ouyang Ze. It's just that his gaze was not looking at me but at Ouyang Ze, and he understood in an instant.

"What are you doing? Crazy?! ”

I pushed him away angrily and asked.
