Chapter 70: The Three Gates
It was not as strange as imagined, as soon as Yue Yi and the three of them stepped into the space, they appeared in the place where they had just entered the city gate, exactly the same buildings, all of them were low semicircular houses and some broken walls, so the three of them were a little stunned.
After experiencing the illusion of the Eternal Spirit Tree, the scene in front of them has made the three of them nothing new. However, in this scene, the three of them thought they were back in place at first, Yue Yi looked at the surrounding environment, and then said: "I didn't expect this inner city to be so magical, it is exactly the same as the outer city, such a skill, it is estimated that only the Sand Clan can do it." ”
Yue Yi didn't believe that the place he had worked so hard to come to was still a place outside the city. Although the buildings here were the same, the sense of calling was getting stronger and stronger, making Yue Yi sure that this was indeed the inner city, where the Sand Clan once really lived.
"Hey, when are you going to be involved, Dengzi!" Lu Xin saw Yue Yi, who had been grabbing her hand but was silent, her face was a little crimson, how could her strength break free from his hand, although she hoped that this feeling would last longer, but the girl's reserve made her have to say so.
Yue Yi was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he had been holding their hands since he came in, and let go of his hand with an embarrassed expression, and hurriedly explained: "This, uh...... I didn't pay attention just now, sorry. ”
Miss Fu just glanced at Yue Yi, but did not speak, there was a slight shyness in her eyes, it was not the first time she was held by the opposite sex of the same age, no matter how cold she was on weekdays, she couldn't ignore this feeling. Green Core was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and looked at Yue Yi's embarrassed appearance with interest.
"We're just going to walk around here and see if we find anything. Yue Yi diverted the topic, leading Fu Mengying and the others around the city, he was not in a hurry to go to the place of summoning, but pretended to walk around aimlessly, saving himself another explanation later, and this is the real place where the Sand Clan lives, if he is lucky, he may be able to find some treasures.
Unfortunately, Yue Yi's idea was in vain. The three of them walked for an hour, and they must enter every house, but this room is not very high, and the three of them can only bend down slightly to enter, and the green core was still excited, but later gave up, and sat directly at the door waiting for the news of Yue Yi and Fu Mengying.
"How?" Seeing the two come out, Green Core asked curiously.
Yue Yi looked helpless, this sentence has been asked hundreds of times, she is not tired, but Yue Yi's ears are calloused. However, under this search, it was not without results, Yue Yi intentionally or unintentionally kept approaching the summoned place, so that he could reach his destination logically.
The three of them slowly moved in the direction of the west, and after a while, they came to a clearing, which was exactly the same as the outer city, this time Yue Yi did not make any gestures, but looked for something above the clearing.
"Hey, what are you looking for, we can help you find it. As soon as Lu Xin saw that Yue Yi came to this open space, he began to carefully inspect every corner of the ground as if he had dropped a money bag, and he was anxious for him.
Yue Yi didn't pay attention to the green core, he could feel that the summoning place was in this place, and it was coming from the underground, so he could conclude that there must be some mechanism here to open the underground gate and enter.
Green Core glanced at Yue Yi resentfully, this guy actually dared to ignore his words, he was really kind enough to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs, and no longer paid attention to Yue Yi. If it was usual, she would definitely rush up and grab it again to relieve her anger, but now she is too tired and doesn't have the strength to worry so much about Yue Yi, so she just sits on the ground to rest.
"Oh my God!"
Before Green Core had time to take a breath, the bluestone slab that was sitting on suddenly fell, causing Green Core to lie directly backwards on the ground, so frightened that she screamed, quickly jumped up, and ran behind Miss Fu to hide.
Yue Yi heard the exclamation, hurriedly glanced back, and found that his face was pale and green with fright, and said lightly: "I said auntie, tell you not to move, you still move, you know it's wrong, this is ...... Huh!" I wanted to continue, but I saw that the bluestone slab had landed a foot away, and then the clearing trembled slightly, Yue Yi and Fu Mengying were okay, but the green core didn't stand firm and fell directly, and his forehead was red and swollen.
Just as they were about to complain, on the bluestone slab next to them, the ground split in two, and an entrance the size of a zhang appeared. There was a bluestone staircase at the entrance that stretched all the way into the darkness, and a dull, slightly decaying aura hit the face, causing all three of them to frown.
I didn't expect that the entrance that I hadn't found for a long time actually appeared, and it was not as efficient as the green core to sit down inadvertently, which couldn't help but make him sigh, this luck was really illusory, and gave a thumbs up to the green core.
"Hmph, look, let this girl help you earlier, you don't have to be busy for half a day. Seeing Yue Yi's praise, Lu Xin was secretly happy in his heart, his small mouth hooked an arc, and he shook his head triumphantly.
Yue Yi thought about it for a while, it was pitch black inside, he couldn't see anything, and he didn't know what danger would be hidden, so it was better to let himself go down to explore the path first, and then let Fu Mengying and the others go down. As soon as he said his idea, he was directly vetoed by the two women.
"Why, it turns out that I didn't bring us here to hunt for treasures, I came to help you look at the door, when did I become your personal guard?" Fu Mengying glanced at Yue Yi lightly and said directly.
Lu Xin also looked at Yue Yi with disdain and said, "Don't be handsome, don't think that this will make us like you, take us down honestly." ”
Yue Yi roared in his heart, how is this just handsome, isn't it for their safety, do you think you want to do this? But there is no way, seeing the attitude of the two women, he knows that even if he strongly opposes it, they will follow, then the result is still the same, and he can't reason with the girl at all.
Under the gaze of the two women, Yue Yi could only compromise, and then said: "Okay, then I'll open the way, don't stay too far away from me, we don't know what dangers are inside, we must take it step by step." ”
After seeing the two women nodding, Yue Yi took the lead in walking down the bluestone stairs, the two women glanced at each other, walked from the green core to the middle, Miss Fu walked at the end, and the three of them walked into the entrance step by step.
When Fu Mengying's whole body sank into the entrance, the bluestone slab suddenly closed, which startled the three people inside. Yue Yi tried to push the bluestone slab away, but found that no matter how much strength he used, the bluestone slab did not move at all, that is, their way back was sealed, which made Yue Yi's face a little ugly, and he regretted his recklessness.
"How about it, can you open it?" In the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, Green Core didn't know what the situation was in Yue Yi's place, and asked a little nervously, if it couldn't be opened, wouldn't the three of them be trapped in this tunnel?
"I've told you to wait outside, and you haven't listened, but now it's okay, the back road has been sealed, and it seems that you can only continue to look for a way out. Sighing helplessly, the only thing I can do now is to continue walking, the road ahead is confused, and I don't know what will happen.
Since there is no turning back, let's move forward, and maybe there will be new discoveries. The cold voice echoed in the tunnel, and Miss Fu didn't worry too much. Because she knew that it was useless to worry, this was an independent space, and no one could save them, since this was the case, she could only save herself.
Yue Yi could only continue to open the way ahead, and then the group walked down in the dark.
In the tunnel, the damp air made it a little difficult to breathe, especially the smell of decay, which made the green core cry bitter. The bluestone slab was very slippery, and the three of them moved forward step by step, and Yue Yi unfolded the power of his spirit, carefully sensing every move around him, if there was danger, he would definitely be able to find it as soon as possible.
After a period of adaptation, everyone can vaguely see the road ahead, and the surrounding stone walls are covered with moss, because the bluestone slabs under their feet are too slippery, even if they love to be clean, they have to touch the stone wall on the side with their jade hands, which makes both women feel nauseous. Yue Yi didn't care about this, but pressed it hard with his palm, squeezing out the water in the moss, this wrestling is better than dirty hands, if you accidentally fall down, it is estimated that you can slide to the end with a butt, that way Yue Yi can't accept.
Luckily, there were no dangers along the way. The three of them walked quietly for nearly half an hour, except for the echo of footsteps, only the sound of dripping water remained.
"How long are we going to go?" asked Green Core, finally holding back his breath.
"It's almost there!" Yue Yi said lightly.
"How do you know?"
"Guess!"
The two of them asked and answered, but it added a touch of excitement to this dull space, and just as the two were arguing, a glimmer of light appeared in front of them, and it seemed that they were about to reach the end of the road. The three of them quickened their pace slightly, and finally came to a clearing the size of two zhang. In fact, the stone road was not too long, and it was only because of the slippery nature that it took the three of them twice as long to reach the end.
The stone walls around this clearing were inlaid with a few moonstones, which made the space a little brighter, and the three of them looked around curiously, and what appeared in front of the three of them were three bronze gates, which were covered with bronze thorns, but they were all rusty.
Except for these three bronze doors, there was nothing left here, but above the bronze door, nine big characters engraved with blood red attracted the attention of the three people, and when the three of them finished reading, the expressions on their faces instantly turned pale.
