After a short rest, the group continued on the road, and the dark tunnels began to have more curves, sometimes suddenly turning to the left almost sixty degrees, then turning back to the right thirty degrees without a few steps, followed by a small left bend. In the cramped tunnels, there was no way to discern their way, and Fern even wondered if they were heading back.

In this state, in a state of depression and panic, the group walked and stopped, the tunnel was always pitch black, the light of the torch could only shine not far ahead, and all the light in front seemed to be absorbed, and time seemed to have entered another state, no longer a tool to measure day or night, but just a useless concept that could pass at will.

Fern felt his inner agitation as if he would never be able to get out of here, sweat began to ooze from his forehead, and his breathing grew heavier.

"Wait. Ray called out to Fern, who was taking the lead, and the mage squeezed past Ness, slowly reaching out and holding Fern's head. The top of Ray's head was only on Fern's shoulder, and he struggled to raise his hand and chant the incantation, and after a moment, Ray lowered his hand and exhaled. "Walking in the first one puts too much pressure on you, I cast some spells to relax your nerves, there shouldn't be any danger here, you don't have to be tense all the time. ”

Fern shook his head, I don't know if it was a mental effect, at this moment the mercenary did not feel anxious anymore, as if he had poured a basin of cold water from head to toe, his heart was like water. "Thanks, Rui. ”

The mercenary began to lead the way again, and after walking zigzag for three hours, the ground finally began to climb up slowly, this change made everyone's hearts excited, and the previous depression was swept away, and they hurriedly accelerated their pace and walked forward.

Although the road was not much shorter than before, everyone knew in their hearts that what was waiting for them was the exit, so they walked quickly, and after about two hours, Fern finally stopped at the front.

"What's wrong, Fern?" Ness, who had walked to the second, also stopped.

"I want to ...... We're at the exit. Fern half-turned his head to Ness, who was behind him, his eyes still looking overhead.

"Really, great, where's the exit?" asked Ness, excited.

Instead of answering her, Fern intently held the torch in one hand and groped with the other over his head.

At this point, Ryan and Stan come over, and they realize that there is no road in front of them, only dirt, and apparently the tunnel ends here.

"Yes, this is it!" Fern suddenly found something, only to see his right hand grasp an inconspicuous stone handle sunk in the dirt. "Ness, help me with the torches. The mercenary handed the torch to Niss behind him, grabbed the handle above his head with both hands, and pushed it outward.

Stan gives the torch to Rui and squeezes past Rui and Ness to Fern, pushing it with him. Eventually, the dirt above their heads begins to crumble, and a slate is gradually pushed upwards by Fern and Stan, and finally, with a force on both of them, the slab is pushed aside. Overhead, looking through the square of the exit, you can see the deep night sky, dotted with stars.

All four let out a long breath and walked through the dark tunnels for almost a night, now as if they were about to release all their repression from their bodies. Ness couldn't wait to get out. "Let's go up there, Fern!"

The mercenary remained calm. "Wait a minute, I'll go up and take a look around first, and then I'll pull you up when it's not dangerous. ”

"Fern, don't be reckless, don't run away on your own in order to distract the enemy, as you did before. Rui reminded coldly.

"Don't worry, I remember you made a mark on me, and I couldn't run. Fern smiled, turned around and jumped hard, grabbed the ground by the exit with both hands, propped himself up with his arms, and then stepped out with his right leg, rolled on his side, and the whole person rolled out of the tunnel.

Ness tilted her head in thought, then turned to look at Rui. "That mark was made when I first entered the source of magic, is it still effective after so long, I've never heard of this kind of magic, is it dark magic?"

Ray smirked and leaned over to Ness's ear and covered her mouth with the back of her left hand. "I didn't do any markings at all, I just touched him with my wand, I just wanted him to know that he couldn't get rid of us so he wouldn't do anything stupid again. ”

Ness exclaimed, "You really have a way, Rui!"

Rui Gang was about to say something, but Fern's voice came from above his head, "Come on, it's fine." ”

Fern had Stan extinguish the torches in the tunnel, then pulled his companions up one by one, then re-covered the slate in the bright moonlight, and finally arranged the original covering on the slab until it looked completely indistinguishable from the ground on the side.

Only then did the other three discover that around them was a pine forest, and although the pins of the pine tree had fallen off a lot, it was quite hidden.

"It's not easy to dig this tunnel, and it's in Doyle, near Wolfsburg. Stan sighed incredulously, "You know, even the Devil can't escape Doyle's patrols." ”

"Demons don't go underground. Rui said lightly, "But digging tunnels is indeed no better than ordinary marching, and what to do with the excavated soil is also a problem." ”

"Alright, that's up to the next team of people who will pass through the secret passage, and for now, let's enjoy the beautiful scenery. Fern interrupted their discussion and casually pointed to the sky.

Looking overhead through the sparse branches, in addition to the moon and stars, the northern aurora also spanned the entire night sky, and the green aurora made the earth illuminated by the moonlight even brighter, and the whole earth seemed to be covered with a green veil.

Ness looked up at the brilliant night sky, completely immersed in it. "It's so beautiful! How perfect it would be if there were no gloomy tide in this world!"

"Remember this touch, and we will defend it to the death. Fern walked over to Ness, looking up at the night sky.

"As long as I'm here, I won't allow the Dark Tide to trample on this land. Stan looks up and swears at the sky.

Ruiya walked over to his companion and silently watched the night sky.

A cold wind blew, and everyone tightened their cloaks, but they still looked at the beautiful night sky obsessively, and they were reluctant to leave for a long time. The backs of the four people stood on the silent earth in this northern night, and at this moment, the whole world seemed to be left with them, between the brilliant night sky and the earth, with this world became eternal.
