I immediately took out a very thin crochet needle from my backpack and tiptoed to Wu Lin's side.

Wu Lin pointed to a stone slab under him, which meant to tell me that the bottom of this stone slab should be hollow.

I nodded, leaned over and plunged the crochet needle into the gap in the edge of the slate.

The brick is one meter square and about 20 centimeters thick, and it takes a lot of effort to pull it up with such a crochet needle.

I held the handle of the crochet needle in both hands, breathed a sigh in my chest, and with the strength of both hands, I slowly pulled up the slate, which was heavier than I had imagined, and even if I had all the strength at once, I could only lift one side of the slate slightly, and if I loosened it slightly, the slate would slide back down.

Wu Lin saw my struggling and quickly ran over to grab my wrist and provide me with a little support.

Taking advantage of the help he provided, I first relaxed a little bit of strength, and at the same time exhaled the turbid air in my chest and put a new breath into my lungs. After that, I maintained a relatively steady breathing rate, slowly increased the force, and lifted the slate with Wu Lin little by little.

Click-

Just as the edge of the slate was completely exposed to the ground, there was a cracking sound that was extremely clear.

The board was too heavy, and the crochet needle was too thin, and at this time, the board could no longer withstand the huge pressure brought by the crochet needle, and a long hole broke out with the tip of the needle as the base point.

Together, Wu Lin and I stopped our movements at the same time and listened to the movements downstairs with our ears pricked up.

At that time, my heart was filled with a ridiculous fluke mentality, and I always thought that the movement just now should not be particularly large, and it should not wake up the moths downstairs.

Just as he was thinking this, the slate cracked a second time.

Click-

The sound was extremely far-reaching, radical and direct, and the echoes that lingered above the cold light were wave after wave.

At this time, I could already see that the square pillars in the ancient building were hollow, and under the cracked stone slabs, there was a passage that extended vertically downward.

At the same time, large swaths of leaf moths began to awaken, and they fluttered their wings and fell from the roofs of each floor, and as soon as they left the roofs, they immediately burst into bright green flames.

In just a few seconds, the twenty-two floors below us were filled with firelight, and a stream of green light shone down the stairway into the top floor, turning our vision green again.

I found that the cold flames on the moth's body could not swallow the stone bricks used to build the ancient building, and the large flames that had previously wrapped the building could not cause any damage to the ancient building itself.

Wu Lin asked me in a low voice, "Are all the moths awake?" ”

As soon as he spoke, a large number of leaf moths seemed to have discovered our position, and began to fly down the stairs in groups towards the top floor.

I didn't have the extra heart to answer Wu Lin's question, and shouted: "Block the corridor!" He grabbed a cracked slate and dragged it to the entrance of the stairs with the strength of milk.

Of course, Wu Lin knew what I was going to do, so he hurriedly came up to help, and even Yan Yu rushed up with a puppet to help.

A thick stone slab one meter long and half a meter wide could not completely block the entrance of the building, Wu Lin immediately made a decision, and used a grenade to blow up the stone beam above the entrance of the building, and a large amount of rubble that collapsed piled up into a hill in front of the entrance of the building, and finally blocked the only way from the twenty-second floor to the top floor.

The dust caused by the blasting gradually receded, and the dark space we were in fell into extreme silence again.

The three of us didn't dare to make much noise, each of us half-holding our breath, staring straight at the large piece of rubble in front of the entrance to the stairway.

There's a saying that sometimes the more you're scared, the more likely it is to happen.

While I was staring at the pile of rubble, there was a loud and dense sound in the corridor on the other side of the rubble, which was muffled and rapid, and it was supposed to be a large number of moths hitting the wall of the rubble.

The strength of a single moth was very limited, but when the huge number of moths exerted force in one direction at the same time, the wall of rubble still trembled slightly.

And such tremors are becoming more and more intense.

Wu Lin was the first to come back to his senses, and hurriedly pulled me and Yanyu back to the straight and drooping dark passage.

There is no rope ladder in the dark passage, just look at it all the way, and at the end of this dark passage is a piece of dirty ground.

"Go down?" Yan Yu timidly asked me and Wu Lin.

Wu Lin turned his gaze to me.

I'm still hesitating.

If the bottom of this passage is indeed a solid layer of soil or rock, then once we enter it, it will be like an old turtle in an urn, and when the moth rushes into the dark passage, we have nowhere to escape.

If you don't go in, is there any other way to go?

Now the fog outside the ancient building should have dissipated, and the surface of the building is full of cold fire, if you want to open a hole in the wall and go out directly, you will have to face the reality of being swallowed by the cold flame.

Go back the way you came? Come on, I'm not an idiot.

After thinking about it, in the end, I could only choose the one with the best chance of surviving from all the seemingly hopeless options.

I beckoned to Wu Lin and Yanyu, and then jumped into the dark passage.

Hopefully, under this dark passage, other retreats can be found.

As soon as I entered the dark passage, I quickly turned my body sideways, supported the wall with the palms of my hands and feet, and relied on friction to support my body and move downward.

The width of this secret passage is nearly two meters, and if you don't turn your body sideways, your hands and feet can't touch the road wall at all, unless you have the height of the second master.

After Wu Lin came down, he also made the same action as me, and after the rain came down, he ...... Straight down.

I saw the actions of Wu Lin and Yan Yu from the ghost eyes, Wu Lin felt that there was something abnormal in the movement behind him, and immediately turned sideways in mid-air, and the falling Yan Yu rubbed his chest, and came straight towards me.

I can't avoid this time, if I do, Yanyu and his puppet will have to fall into cakes, in desperation, I can only strengthen my hands and feet to stabilize my body, and borrow Yanyu stubbornly.

Yan Yu's weight and the weight of the puppet are combined, no matter what, he has to be more than 250 pounds, a little heavier than Lao Zuo, and this time he smashed it down, almost smashing out all the food I ate at night.

But Yanyu didn't feel guilty at all, and said in a matter-of-fact manner: "You can do it with this strength, but you haven't planted it like this." ”

I glanced back at him: "Don't be idle, sit tight!" ”

With that, I moved my hands and feet and quickly moved towards the bottom of the dark passage.

On the way, I told Yanyu to take a closer look at the surrounding walls to see if there were any secret doors or anything like that.

Yan Yu turned on the flashlight and repeatedly lit the four walls, but as soon as I saw how fast he shook the flashlight, I knew that this kid had no experience in exploring secret doors before, and your flashlight turned so fast that you could see the wool clearly!

This guy is really unreliable.

As I moved down, I hadn't forgotten to keep an eye on the top floor, where the moths had already arched the front gravel stacks, and it didn't take long for them to break through the wall.

When I was still more than two meters away from the bottom of the tunnel, I turned around and took Yanyu and his puppet off his back with one hand, and put him down first.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the rain landed, the ground that originally looked solid seemed to be suddenly softened, and he instantly pressed out a pit, and before I could react to what was going on, the ground seemed to be completely liquefied, and the rain was caught off guard and sank with the puppet.

After the rain disappeared, the ground that had just been crushed slowly rebounded, and after a few ripples, it finally returned to its solid and dirty appearance.

The scene in front of me made me and Wu Lin stunned at the same time, and now, no one dared to continue to move down.

I tried to call Glaive by name, but there was no response.

"To go down or not to go down?" Wu Lin asked me.

As he spoke, the gravel piled up at the entrance of the corridor had swayed significantly, and the arch that had been pushed out by the moth was getting bigger and bigger, and it looked like it was about to be broken.

After pondering for a moment, I decided to take another gamble: "Next! ”

As I spoke, I let go of the strength of my hands and feet, and fell straight to the bottom of the cave.

With a loud bang, the gravel blocking the entrance of the building was suddenly broken, and a large stream of moths circled into the twenty-third floor of the ancient building, they were like a hurricane, swept around the top floor, and then merged into a wisp, rushing into the dark passage at a very fast speed.

At this time, both of my eyes had already sunk into the liquefied ground, and the last thing I saw was that the bright green cold flame had pressed against Wu Lin's Heavenly Spirit Cover.

In the next moment, I actually felt a suffocation, it was not the feeling of holding my breath, but the oxygen in the entire chest cavity seemed to be drained all of a sudden, although my consciousness was still clear, but my hands and feet had begun to struggle uncontrollably.

Fortunately, this sensation lasted less than half a second, and then I felt the oxygen return to my chest, and my whole body felt a burst of relaxation, and then I felt weightless.

I'm falling fast!

Before I could see what it was, I felt a hard place under my feet, and it felt similar to touching the ground, but the ground under my feet was obviously uneven, it seemed to have a circular arc, I didn't stabilize my center of gravity for a while, and fell to the ground with a snort, and then quickly slid down the arc of the ground for a distance.

Only then did I see clearly, at this time I was in a confined space with an area of only twenty or thirty square meters, and what I stepped on just now was the top of a large stone mound, and after some sliding, I had fallen to the bottom of the mound, and the soles of my feet stepped on the real ground.

Glaive and his doll were not far from me, and the creature looked frightened and looked very dull.

Suddenly, there was a broken sound of "hula", Wu Lin also came in, just now he was still touched by a moth, a large piece of scalp and hair was missing, and even the skull seemed to be missing, the most serious injury was the shoulder, most of the shoulder blades were missing, and only a sleeve connected the arm and body together.
