After his body fell into the water, Wu Zhiyuan instinctively stood on his legs, stood up from the water with his feet steady, and found that the water was only chest-deep. He jerked his head and saw the ghost lantern fluttering in midair, quickly lunging towards him.

The situation was urgent, and he didn't want to think about it, Wu Zhiyuan took a sharp breath, squatted down, and dived into the water. Almost at the same time, ghost lanterns flashed above his head.

Wu Zhiyuan hid under the water with a breath, but his eyes looked at the situation on the water. The vision in the water was already blurry, and it was pitch black in the dungeon, so he could only see the shadow of the ghost lantern floating back and forth on the water, refusing to leave.

Wu Zhiyuan took a long breath before entering the water, but he could only hold it underwater for a very short time. He watched the ghost lantern fluttering above the water, in fact, he couldn't bear it anymore, but he knew that if he came out of the water at this time, he would definitely be attacked by the ghost lantern. This ghost lantern is a sign of the appearance of impermanence ghosts, and the ghosts may be swept away by them.

Wu Zhiyuan persevered in the water with great endurance, and he was about to reach the limit of his life, when he suddenly found that it was already pitch black on the water, and the ghost lantern had left at some point. He jerked his head out of the water, gasping for air as he gasped.

All around was ink-stained darkness, and the ghost lantern was gone. Wu Zhiyuan stood in the water and took a few breaths, and after his breathing gradually eased, he began to look left and right, trying to find the end of this body of water. But he had no idea where the water came from, and he had even lost his sense of direction, not knowing where it came from and where it was going. In the darkness, he couldn't discern the direction, so he could only rely on his senses and try to move forward.

Just as he was about to wade into the water, he suddenly felt a sudden chill at his ankles, as if something was touching his calves along his trousers. It felt like a pair of very cold hands, a little colder than water, which is why his feelings were so real and intense.

Wu Zhiyuan was taken aback, the first thing he thought of was the snake he met with the Moon Shadow Fuxian at the edge of the deep valley waterhole of the cliff in the north of Haiyang County, the snake fed on the lewd tree essence flowers, and was extremely bewitching and lewd, and once reached out to touch Wu Zhiyuan's back, and the feeling was no different from the feeling coming from the ankle at this moment. If the thing that grabs your ankle under your foot is really a snake, then it's troublesome.

Wu Zhiyuan wanted to scream, but when he thought of this, he hurriedly stifled his scream. When the snake is provoked, it will emit a strange "hiss" laugh, which will attract the water of the sea and the river to pour in, and even cause floods.

But this is never a place to stay in the water for long, and although he knows that what grabbed his ankle underwater is most likely a snake, he can't sit still. Fortunately, the hand that grabbed his ankle under the water was not very tight, Wu Zhiyuan tried to slowly withdraw his foot, blindly moving forward, and the resistance in the water prevented him from speeding up.

The hand under the water did not follow, which made Wu Zhiyuan feel greatly relieved. He continued to move a few steps, and suddenly his feet were high, as if he had stepped on a step-like thing, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped on the other leg, only to find that it was indeed a step.

The steps under his feet were upward, so Wu Zhiyuan quickly left the water area along the steps. He groped his way up the stairs, and guessed from the height of the steps that there might be a cistern or a drainage ditch under the steps, which was often found in large burial chambers, some designed for feng shui, and some for the drainage of the tomb.

After resting on the steps for a while, Wu Zhiyuan was considering whether to stay where he was and wait, or continue to move forward. In any case, it was impossible to turn back, and he didn't want to retrace the waters in front of him. Just as he hesitated, he suddenly felt a hand gently tapped twice on his right shoulder.

"Smack." The voice was slight, but it was very harsh in the dead silence of the dungeon. Wu Zhiyuan's whole body trembled, and he couldn't help but be scared out of white sweat. He sat stiffly in place, not daring to look back, not even gasping for breath.

"You don't have to be afraid, I won't hurt you." A woman's voice spoke in the dark, her voice soft, but sharp, sounding uncomfortable.

Wu Zhiyuan couldn't see the surrounding situation clearly, but based on the voice, he could roughly judge that the woman who spoke was behind him.

"You're a snake?" Wu Zhiyuan remembered that although the snake had a strange shape, her face was also a woman.

"What snake?" The woman seemed to be quite surprised by Wu Zhiyuan's words, she paused for a moment and said, "You don't care who I am, in short, I am here to save you, not to harm you." ”

"Help me? I'm not in danger and I don't need anyone to save me. Wu Zhiyuan said in his mouth, but he firmly grasped the Blood Shadow Demon Knife in his hand. This woman's identity is strange, and most of the people who can appear in the underground palace are not humans. As long as she moves slightly, she can return to the knife and slash.

"You think I'm willing to show up to save you? If it weren't for the entrustment of others, I wouldn't care if you lived or died. The woman's voice said coldly.

Wu Zhiyuan was puzzled when he heard this, so he asked, "Entrusted by someone?" Who are you? And by whom? ”

"I don't owe you anything, there's no need to answer your questions." The woman said coldly, "You just need to know that this dungeon is not the ...... you should come to."

"I shouldn't have come, I'm coming." Wu Zhiyuan interrupted the woman's words.

The woman seemed a little angry, and raised her voice: "If you want to get out alive, just follow me obediently, don't say anything, don't ask anything!" ”

Wu Zhiyuan suddenly laughed dumbly, he snorted coldly and said, "Just by your words, I'll go with you?" Are you a human or a demon, a ghost or a monster? You say that you are entrusted by men, and by whom? I won't go with you unless you solve these few questions. ”

In the darkness, the woman's voice snorted coldly: "It's up to you whether you go or not, it's not me begging you now." ”

"I didn't ask you either." Wu Zhiyuan turned around and looked in the direction where the woman's voice came from, but it was pitch black as far as his eyes could see, and he couldn't see anything.

"No more nonsense!" The woman seemed a little impatient, and asked sharply, "You just need to say one word, follow me or not?" ”

"Don't go!" Wu Zhiyuan pondered for a moment and replied categorically.

"Good! Then I can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, you can do it yourself! The woman threw down a sentence coldly, and her voice disappeared into the darkness.

Wu Zhiyuan breathed a long sigh of relief, still thinking about what the woman had just said in his mind, it was difficult to distinguish whether the other party was friend or foe, and it should be wise not to blindly follow her.

Just thinking about it, he suddenly heard the woman's voice echoing in the depths of the underground palace in the distance, Wu Zhiyuan listened carefully, and only heard the woman say: "Good words, don't enter the cave under the stone wall of the underground palace, otherwise you will definitely die!" ”
