Xiao Chen and the three of them slowly walked along the stone road, they walked a few corners, and the road ahead gradually brightened. Xiao Chen took a deck of playing cards from the supermarket and marked the order with a card every time he walked to a fork in the road.

Turning another corner, Xiao Chen discovered the source of the light in the tunnel. Every ten meters or so on the wall in front of him, there is a palm-sized pattern, which is emitting a faint white light. This light does not come from fire, nor is it from a cannon. It's from the pattern itself. The light was mild and bright, better than a torch, almost as bright as an incandescent lamp.

"Hey, what is this?" Xiao Chen cautiously approached the light source with his hand.

Zhou He grabbed his hand, "Don't touch it, do you know what it is? What if you are electrocuted?"

"Yo, thank you for your concern. Xiao Chen smiled, "It's okay, since this thing is used for lighting, it will definitely not harm people, I think it's just a kind of lamp, who would make the lamp so electric when you touch it?" Sure enough, Xiao Chen's hand touched the wall, neither cold nor hot, as if it had touched an ordinary stone.

"Today's trip was not in vain, and I saw something new. Xiao Chen withdrew his hand and saw that there were no traces left on his fingers.

Luo Ling learned from Xiao Chen to touch the stone wall gently, "This is either high-tech that we have never heard of, or this is the magic of legends." I can't think of any other explanation. But you see, does this thing look like the word 'light' in Chinese?"

Xiao Chen walked away and took a closer look, "Well, except for some patterns, it's really a bit like the word 'light' in Xiao Seal." It's like some kind of artistic word. Ha, could it be that a monk wrote it, or was it a sorcerer's handwriting?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I, I'm afraid. Zhou He looked around nervously, "How can there be such a place under the school." No, there won't be any youkai, right?"

Xiao Chen comforted: "Where are there any monsters, we haven't seen a single one that can move all the way." ”

Zhou He pursed his lips, and finally whispered, "However, I have always vaguely felt that there are sounds around me. It was as if something was moving around us. Listen, is there a 'clang', 'clang' sound? It's like the feeling of an iron box hitting the ground. ”

This time, Xiao Chen and Luo Ling didn't dare to be careless, and they both listened with bated breath.

"There!" Luo Ling pointed to a fork in the road, "There is really a voice there!"

Xiao Chen also heard it, and he also found that the voice was getting clearer and clearer, and it was coming towards them.

In such a strange underground stone tunnel, hearing such a sound really makes people's brains sweat and panic. The two girls unconsciously took a step back, and Zhou He hid behind Xiao Chen.

"I'll take a look!" Xiao Chen said decisively.

"Don't, you're leaving, what should we do?" Zhou He said.

"Listen to me!" Xiao Chen lowered his voice, "Someone has to go over to see what's going on, maybe it's other teachers and classmates." Just stay here and don't move, wait for my news. If I shout to run, don't hesitate to run. ”

"But it's a labyrinth here, and where are we going? Zhou He glanced at the dim stone path.

"Follow the playing cards left by Xiao Chen, and we can run back. Luo Ling said.

Xiao Chen nodded approvingly at her, and took out two fruit knives from his backpack, the blades of these knives were only three inches long, but they could make people feel at ease when they were held in their hands. He gave one to Luo Ling and took it for himself. Then leaning against the wall, he reached for the source of the sound.

"You, you have to be careful. Zhou He hugged Luo Ling's arm tightly and instructed.

Xiao Chen turned around and smiled, and gestured OK with his hand to reassure her.

The passage had collapsed somewhat, the ground was covered with rubble, and the lighting runes on the walls had been largely destroyed, making it look dark and gloomy. Xiao Chen's eyes had just been dazzled by the bright light, and he couldn't adapt to the darkness for a while. He had to grope the wall with one hand in front and the fruit knife behind the other hand, and slowly move forward. There was a light breeze blowing in the stone road, and it felt slightly cool on his cheeks, but beads of sweat flowed from Xiao Chen's forehead, not completely nervous, but also a little excited, which was the feeling of curiosity being raised.

After turning two corners, his eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness, and he saw a shadow swaying on the wall around the corner in front of him.

Sure enough, there was something!

The shadow swayed unblockingly, but it moved in the same rhythm as the "clang" sound.

Xiao Chen half-squatted in the corner of the wall and poked his head out to take a look......

I saw five figures walking forward, and at first glance, they were a group of ancient knights dressed in full body armor, holding long swords in their hands. The armor and sword looked old and stained with rust. But that couldn't hide the runes engraved on the armor, which were similar in style to the illuminated runes, only a hundred times more complicated.

However, when Xiao Chen looked at their faces, he found that they didn't even have faces! In the middle of the helmet was a black void, and there was nothing. These five knights turned out to be five pairs of armor that they could walk around, and the "clang" sound heard before was the collision between the metals when these movable armors walked.

What a monster this is!

Rao is Xiao Chen has always boasted of being bold, but at this moment, his heart felt like he had been hit by a heavy hammer, and cold sweat poked out of every pore on his body like weeds all over the mountains.

Xiao Chen suddenly felt that his feet were empty, and his half-squatting body could no longer control his balance, and he involuntarily fell backwards. He took two or three steps back, and in a panic kicked a few rocks on the ground. There was a rattle sound.

The armor in the lead suddenly stopped, and his head turned to the corner where Xiao Chen was hiding, and Xiao Chen poked out his head again and took a look at it. It stood there for a second, then stretched out its hand, and the four armored warriors behind it rushed over with their long swords held high.

It was a charge, but they didn't run fast, and the rusted joints creaked. But seeing the menacing appearance of these armored monsters, Xiao Chen understood that if he was caught by them, he would definitely be chopped into meat puree. He picked up a stone the size of a steamed bun from his feet and threw it like the armor that had taken him before. The stone slammed into the armor's chest, making a gong-like sound, leaving a shallow gray mark, but the armor only leaned back slightly, and immediately regained its balance and continued to press.

Xiao Chen made a decision immediately, turned around and ran, shouting as he ran: "There are monsters, everyone run away." ”

Xiao Chen and the three of them ran wildly in the labyrinth-like underground passages, and soon lost their way in the chaos. However, what made him even more depressed was that although those armored warriors were slow, new armored warriors often appeared from everywhere, and no matter how they turned left and right, they would be surrounded and intercepted. After a while, there were more pursuers behind.

"I ...... How can I listen to the voices behind me more and more. Zhou He already had two lines of tears in his eyes, "I really, really can't run." ”

Luo Ling: "Work hard, you don't want to be eaten by monsters, so you run." ”

"Xiao Chen, think about it, what should we do? I don't want to be eaten by these monsters. ”

"You're not going to be eaten. ”

"Really, what have you come up with?"

"Not yet, but I can see clearly, they don't have mouths!"

Luo Ling couldn't help but sneer, Zhou He was annoyed, and her tears flowed even more fiercely, "You guys, how do you have your brains, you can laugh like this!"

"Okay, hold on! we need to find an exit or a place to hide. Luo Ling grabbed Zhou He's arm and ran with her.

As the three of them ran through another fork in the road, a warrior in armor armed with a sword rushed out and stopped them.

"Ah~~" Zhou He had never been so close to them, she was so frightened that she stumbled with her left foot and her right foot, and immediately fell to the ground. Luo Ling was pulled by her and almost fell. As soon as the two were entangled, they stopped, and Xiao Chen hurriedly stopped in front of them.

Xiao Chen looked at both ends of the stone road, and his heart sank. The path was long and narrow, and the armored monster blocked everyone's path with a single sword. At this time, the pursuers behind had also caught up, and it was definitely too late to take the two women who were squatting on the ground and retreat to take another way.

What to do?

In a crisis, people often have two completely different manifestations, becoming a hero or a coward, only because of this momentary choice. Do you rush forward and fight for your life, or do you return to the fork in the road alone?

In the midst of lightning, Xiao Chen made a decision.

"Fight!" Xiao Chen only felt the blood surging on the top of his head at this time, his eyes were round, his teeth were biting on his lips, and he rushed towards the armored man with a hideous expression.

With a wave of his right hand, he threw the fruit knife in his hand towards the head of the armor. The armor blocked with a sword, and easily knocked the knife away, but the original slash was interrupted, and it lost its original sharpness.

Xiao Chen's eyes were tightly fixed on the tip of the long sword, and he flashed this oblique slash sideways, his left hand took off the left shoulder strap of the backpack, and his right hand swiped it, and the backpack full of things smashed into the chest of the armor like a meteor hammer, although the origin of this armor is mysterious, it is not a real person after all, it is a little stiff in both action and balance, it was hit and stumbled, and fell straight back.

"Run!" Xiao Chen yelled for Zhou He and Luo Ling to go first, while picking up the stones on the ground and smashing them on the hands of the armor and sword. Probably in disrepair, after a few blows, the mechanism of the armor's elbow was broken, and the armorer's forearm fell off with the sword. Xiao Chen was overjoyed in his heart, and he was about to hold the long sword in his hand, but at this time, the armored warrior's left hand pinched his ankle, and with a forceful pull, Xiao Chen fell to the ground.

Xiao Chen was not strong, but the strength of the armored warrior was obviously greater than that of ordinary people, and it crawled onto Xiao Chen's back from behind, pressing Xiao Chen to turn over. While struggling, Xiao Chen turned his head sideways and looked behind with his peripheral vision, only to see that the armor pressed his back with his severed limbs and body, and his left hand was raised high, about to smash down on the back of his head.
