Without waiting for Wu Xie to react, the fat man had already jumped into the hole first.

Wu Xie sighed and said, "Uncle Sun, you take three brothers to sit on it, and I will go with the fat master to see the situation below." ”

Lao Sun grabbed Wu Xie's hand and said, "Little Third Master, I don't use Lao Sun, I can't drag everyone down." You bring the stammering and Liu Er, and they can still help at the critical moment! ”

Wu Xie pulled out his hand, patted the shoulder of stammering and Liu Er, and said, "Take care of Uncle Sun and Ah Hai, and if you find a way out, I will come back to pick you up!" ”

After saying that, he jumped from the mouth of the well without looking back.

The white light of the flashlight reflected the long and deep dark red stone steps.

Wu Xie had the illusion that the entire underground building here was entirely made of dry and stale human blood.

The fat man's flashlight had turned into a faint dot, flickering far below, like a ghost fire from the underworld.

The narrow, steep stone staircase goes straight down, and the temperature of the surrounding air is rapidly decreasing at a rate that the human body can perceive.

Cold.

But what is even colder is Wu Xie's heart.

Wu Xie had to admit that from the very beginning, they were led by the nose by the mechanism design of the underground labyrinth, and until now they have not regained the slightest initiative.

Just like right now, even if you know that there is a sea of swords and fires below, you have no choice.

Not long ago, Wu Xie silently made a decision in his heart: compared with achieving the purpose of this trip - finding Zhang Qiling, who has been missing for many days, the top priority now is to find a way out and let everyone live!

The fat man's flashlight suddenly disappeared without warning.

Wu Xie secretly wondered, could it be that the passage had turned in front?

He cautiously walked to the point where the light had disappeared, and found that the stone steps had come to an end, and a man-high exit appeared in front of him.

The fat man stood not far in front and heard Wu Xie's footsteps, but he didn't look back.

"Naive—"

The fat man's voice came from the darkness.

"Do you guess we're still fucking on Earth?"

After the sound is emitted, it seems to have been reflected many times in an enclosed space, producing a long-lasting reverberation.

The range of the flashlight has reached the boundaries of space. The two men each pulled out a portable portable searchlight from their backpacks and began to explore their surroundings.

This is a huge space close to a cube, with obvious traces of artificial excavation.

Wu Xie turned up the power of the searchlight to the maximum, and saw that there was a huge image carved on the stone wall. Compared to the staggering scale of the murals in front of us, even the glow of a powerful searchlight can only illuminate a very limited part.

Wu Xie tilted his face and shone the light from area to area, trying to decipher the information inside.

He found that the images here also depicted scenes of sacrifice. However, unlike what has been seen before, the object of worship appears for the first time in the mural here. However, what is puzzling to Wu Xie is that these sacrificed subjects do not seem to have specific images, just some hideous and twisted lines, filling most of the space in the mural.

What did the people of that time worship here?

Are these murals realistic, or do they simply express an abstract fantasy?

So far, all of the labyrinth's presence has not provided any valuable clues to the mystery of the existence of this underground project.

Wu Xie urgently needed to find something literal: at what time and who built this underground royal city? What exactly is it used for?

Perhaps he was too focused on studying the murals, but Wu Xie realized that he hadn't heard the fat man's movements for a while. Just as he turned to meet the fat man first, something unusual suddenly flashed by the light of his searchlight.

If I'm not mistaken, it's an "eye" -

A closed, huge "eye"!

Wu Xie felt goosebumps pop up on his arms one by one. There's something there!

He didn't dare to make any more noises, and slowly retreated step by step, trying to stay away from that direction.

"Fatty, fat!"

Wu Xie said in a low voice.

Where the fat man used to be, now there was only a lone searchlight left, striking a miserable white pillar of light in the thick darkness.

A huge strange eye appeared in the void, and the fat man disappeared silently at this moment!

Wu Xie felt that the cold air around him was pressing, but the cold sweat gradually seeped out.

"Fat Wang, where are you?"

Wu Xie suddenly noticed something approaching behind him, and before he could react, he was covered by a big hand covering his mouth and nose.

"Innocent, it's me!"

Wu Xie broke out in a cold sweat, and heard the fat man's hoarse voice ringing in his ears, and the hot breath in his mouth sprayed on his face.

"Don't make a noise, there's something else here besides us."

Could it be that the fat man also saw the giant eyes?

Wu Xie patted the fat man's arm and signaled that he could let go.

"What did you find?" He asked in a low voice.

"Voice—"

The fat man said with some hesitation: "It's around, but I can't find the source of the sound." But I always feel like something big is going to happen here—"

Sound?

Wu Xie held his breath and listened carefully in the dark.

At first, he could only hear his own pounding heartbeat, and after trying to calm down, he finally heard a faint, but seemingly omnipresent voice.

It's hard to describe this kind of sound in words, it feels grand and small, as if it is a whisper from another world, and after listening to it for a long time, it seems to echo directly in the head, which makes people anxious and uneasy.

Could it have something to do with that "giant eye"?

Wu Xie told the fat man what he had just discovered, and the two of them decided to go over and have a look together.

Walking closer to the previous position, Wu Xie hit the pillar of light on the stone wall again.

This time, the "giant eye" did not appear. On the contrary, during the time that Wu Xie left, the murals changed significantly!

The frescoes, which were originally clear and complete, were covered in large black "dirt" and were rapidly disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Wu Xie and his two searchlights strafed back and forth over a larger area, and found that the same problem occurred in all the murals. These "dirt" spread throughout the space, like living creatures, making a clearer and clearer "rustling" sound.

Wu Xie and the fat man glanced at each other, and said in unison-

"Bugs!"

Desert beetles gathered from different corners in all directions, and the originally dark red rock space was completely filled with overwhelming black as far as the eye could see at this moment, dense to the point of making the scalp tingle.

"Damn, have we reached the worm's nest?"

The fat man's face became extremely bad.

"You can't sit still, you have to rush out immediately!"

Wu Xie rushed out a few steps, and soon found that a thick layer of "insect tide" was also surging on the ground. In the flickering glow of the searchlights, a figure loomed ahead, standing silently at the entrance where it came.

The spot of the searchlight hit the man, and the face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling was a blinding pale.

Sure enough, it is a variant of "Da Zhao"!

At this time, Wu Xie was already very sure that the beetles here were definitely intelligent. Not only do they lure people into their nests, but they also cut off their retreat at critical moments.

Beetles gathered from all directions, and Wu Xie and the fat man looked desperate, and it wouldn't be long before they were swallowed up by the surging "insect tide", like all the countless intruders who had come here for thousands of years, their bones gone.

The fat man suddenly said, "Naive, do you still have smoke?" ”

Wu Xie touched his pocket and threw the remaining half pack of cigarettes to the fat man.

The fat man lit a cigarette and took a hard puff, his expression suddenly became hideous-

"I want to eat my fat man's meat, you ghost worms still owe a little heat!"

After speaking, he threw the lighter in his hand into the pile of insects.

The windproof lighter flickered a few times in the darkness, and with it as the center, a circle of blue flames suddenly ignited on the ground. The range of the flames rapidly expanded, spreading throughout the space with the momentum of a prairie fire.

"Gasoline, gunpowder, solid fuel, ......" The fat man said expressionlessly: "I have used everything I can light Fat Master." ”

He sneered: "Even if you can't kill these ghost insects, you have to make them peel off their skin." Lao Tzu wants to make them remember a little longer - human flesh is not so delicious! ”

The fire was fierce, and the black "insect tide" was instantly engulfed by the high temperature and high heat, and there was a sound of beeping and peeling insects popping everywhere. Although his sense of smell was not as good as before, Wu Xie could still smell the air filled with the burnt aroma of roasted protein.

The mutant of "Da Zhao" was not spared. It twisted and struggled in the flames, and finally slowly disappeared from sight.

The firelight illuminated the entire space for a short time.

The beetles that had not been burned retreated to the stone wall, and the number of black presses was still staggering, like a sword of Damocles hanging overhead.

At this moment, Wu Xie noticed that there was a stone wall that looked special, it was clean and clean, and there was not a single beetle.

This stone wall takes the shape of a large gate. Could it be that this stone door doesn't exist in this plane, so that all the beetles can't see it?

Wu Xie walked to the stone gate curiously, and to his surprise, there were hundreds of "eyes" of all sizes densely covered with this stone door!

These "eyes" are carved into the stone door, and the big ones are the size of a basketball, and the small ones are the size of a fist, all closed.

Wu Xie realized that this was the "eye" he had seen in the dark!

It was like a "door to sleep", and the surrounding fires and insect tides did not alarm its deep sleep.

Wu Xie looked at the sleeping "eyes" and felt that the whole world seemed to become quiet.

Where does this door lead?

Why is it sleeping here?

……

"Naive, you don't want to die!"

Wu Xie suddenly felt that his arm was tight, and he had been grabbed from behind.
