In the K City branch of the cultivation academy, Lin Wan took off her black-framed glasses and breathed a long sigh of relief, she could be regarded as having completed today's reading homework, and then she would practice one more round of basic asanas before she could sleep.

It's been a while since she came to the branch, and Lin Wan has basically determined the direction of her major, and she has temporarily majored in the fighting domain and mobile branch.

But every night before going to bed, Lin Wan still habitually practiced the basic asana she learned from Li Xiaosen in exchange for an ability fruit before really falling asleep.

Lin Wan hated Li Xiaosen a little in her heart, hated him for disappearing without a trace, and didn't even give herself a message.

"Ouch, I'm missing your Li Xiaosen again?" Chen Yu walked out of his room, the dormitory of the branch was shared by two people, with a separate bedroom and a common living room and ability practice room.

Lin Wan's face turned red, and she was about to deny it, but when she saw Chen Yu wearing a coat and looking like she was going out, she couldn't help but say with some concern: "It's so late, don't go out, the circle of ability doesn't seem to be very peaceful recently, and many students have disappeared inexplicably." Alas, I thought that after the end of the club war, the world would truly return to peace. Wait, I'll talk to you. ”

Chen Yu grinned, and dropped a sentence without looking back: "Don't worry, the branch students all over the world are missing, and it won't be my turn." ”

Lin Wan chased out of the room, but saw that Chen Yu's figure had already disappeared.

In the sky, a little white snowflake fell.

Lin Wan was stunned and muttered, "It's snowing." ”

......

......

The General Seminary.

The "Wall of Extreme Snow" was reshaped, everything was calm, and everything was as usual at the scene, except for the absence of Li Xiaosen and the fall of a sunspot, as if nothing had happened before.

The enchantment laid by the elites of the Adjudication Department was exhausted at this time, and it collapsed silently. As a result, a strong wind and snow poured in from outside the barrier again, sweeping through the main academy. For a time, the heavens and the earth were dark, and there was no day.

Everyone stood in the wind and snow, silent. But it's not silence out of shock, it's not silence out of deplorment. It's because of an indescribable but heavy fear that weighs down on the hearts of everyone present!

Yan Zong exhaled slowly, and before he knew it, he was sweating profusely.

He repeatedly replayed in his mind the scene where Li Xiaosen was pulled into the ancient passage by a nameless bewitching woman just now, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to really say it.

Long Qi'er asked in a low voice, "It seems to be?"

Yan Zong nodded, and his words were a little slurred: "Yes, it should be." ”

The wind chimes asked, "What the hell are you talking about?" Who is that woman?"

It wasn't Wind Chime and Yan Zong who answered her, but Rose. Rose subconsciously covered her shoulder, and the black, rancid scratch scar became violently painful again. "It's the Night Stalker," she said. ”

Nightcrawler.

At the mention of the name, Rose's voice trembled, but her tone was certain. She won't forget, that snowy night, the terrifying existence that left a permanent scratch mark on her shoulder, with the appearance of a human being, but a real demon!

When the wind chimes heard this, they were stunned. Looking at Long Qi'er and Yan Zong's faces again, he saw that both of them were silent, obviously acquiescing to Rose's judgment. Wind Chime suddenly felt indescribably tired, the injuries of the previous battles finally couldn't be suppressed, and burst out, her eyes were dark, and she was about to fall down on her back, but she gritted her teeth and supported her body. Minister Zhao San's eager voice finally came from the headset: "What's going on?" Minister Ruling seems to have made a move on your side, and I and several other ministers were dragged back just now......

Wind Chime took a deep breath and said in the voice that was as smooth as possible, "The Minister of Adjudication just cast an avatar and raided the General Court. A woman suspected of being a Nightkin appears at the entrance to the ancient passage of the Upper Court. And...... and ......"

Speaking of this, I finally couldn't hold back my tears, "...... Li Xiaosen, confirmed to have fallen into the ancient passage. ”

There was silence on the other side of the headset for a long time, and there was no reply.

The polar nights in Antarctica are long and bitterly cold.

On this day, a lot happened.

Not long after Li Xiaosen fell into the ancient passage, among the United Families located in the inland of China, the Minister of the Ruling announced that he had obtained some support from the "Mountain Gate" and attacked strongly, and finally occupied an overwhelming absolute advantage in the battle for the support of the United Family.

In the circle of competence, in branches around the world, the number of missing students was finally locked at 52, and there were no follow-up changes. However, just when the branch commissioners of the Investigation Department breathed a sigh of relief, the first missing branch mentor appeared that night.

In secular circles, the name "Nightcrawler" was mentioned for the first time on a forum set up by an id named "Rotten Stone", and then quietly spread. The public relations staff and network experts of the Propaganda Department of the training academy have never been able to block this forum, nor can they lock the identity of this ID called "Rotten Stone".

Invisible panic is being secretly fueled by someone, spreading like a virus in secular circles and power circles.

The infighting between the two factions of the academy has also entered a new stage of increasing intensity after the battle of the main academy has come to an end.

"I made a mistake. ”

In the joint family, Minister Zhao San's face was haggard, his whole person lost weight, and he whispered, "I shouldn't have let Li Xiaosen go to the main hospital, his performance exceeded my expectations, and a talent like this should be directly put around us." Now that Li Xiaosen has such a thing, I don't even know how to tell Li Xiaoqian's girl......"

The technical minister who looked like a mechanical beauty snorted and said, "If you don't know how to say it, don't say it, let's hide it first." What about you, has the case of the disappearance of the princess of the United Family been investigated clearly?"

The middle-aged otaku-looking investigation minister took a hard puff of his cigarette and said, "It should be the minister of adjudication, but she didn't do it herself, I'm afraid she asked someone from the 'mountain gate'." ”

Zhao San asked, "Can the princess get her back?"

The Minister of Investigation looked ugly, shook his head, and said, "I think that princess, similar to Li Xiaosen, has basically zero chance of being alive." ”

Smoke from cigarettes swirled through the room, and none of the three ministers spoke.

Li Xiaoqian, the princess of the United Family, and Li Xiaosen, these three people were originally attracted and were very dominant.

In particular, Her Royal Highness the Princess of the United Family, it can be said that she occupies a pivotal position and is a key figure in this confrontation for the United Family, but she was blackmailed by the minister.

After a long time, the Minister of Investigation burned a cigarette to the end, he frowned, and asked, "How can the Minister of Adjudication really have the courage to move Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

Zhao San sighed and said, "You still don't understand the style of the ruling minister, are you still not a madman? Besides, she didn't do it herself, but asked someone in the mountain gate. Don't forget the relationship between Sanmen and the United Family, in fact, ......" Speaking of this, he closed his mouth, as if he touched on some taboo topic.

Moments later, the three ministers discussed how to deal with the adjudicator's approach.

They are all people who can afford to let go, of course, the ruling minister has put too much pressure on them is also one of the reasons, Li Xingni has not woken up so far, Xu Kaili is busy doing secret special training for Li Xiaoqian, and he is seriously injured and has not recovered, and he does not have much strength left.

As for the princess of the United Family, as well as Li Xiaosen, the three ministers did not mention it again.

It's not forgetting, it's that there's no time to mourn. The pace of the world never stops because of one or two people, the wheels of the times roll forward, everyone is in it, playing a variety of roles, going all out, but can't help themselves.

Zhao San didn't think about sending someone to explore the ancient passage to see if there was a 1 in 10,000 chance of getting Li Xiaosen back, whether he was dead or alive.

But as soon as he thought of the earth-destroying devouring power that would appear every once in a while in that ancient passage, Zhao San immediately rejected his idea.

You must know that Li Xingni personally went to explore the ancient passage, but he also ended up with a serious injury, so he re-strengthened the "Extreme Snow Wall" and completely blocked the passage.

It was the woman who was suspected of being a nightcrawler who glanced at the entrance of the passage that made Zhao San very concerned, and he believed that the other two ministers were the same.

There are still nightcrawlers in the ancient passages?

Zhao San wanted to figure out this problem, but there was no way, the top priority was to deal with the minister of adjudication, and there was no time to take care of it.

The ruling minister has already occupied the absolute initiative in this academy infighting, since she has decided to take down the United Family by thunder first, and then take care of the rest, then Zhao San and they have no other way but to deal with it passively.

In this way, the wheels of the times continue to move forward.

Since the incident of Dihua High School, Li Xiaosen, who has risen at an incredible speed, has disappeared from everyone's sight, and people will still mention him from time to time, but when he mentions it, there are amazements, curiosity, and more regrets. After all, falling into the ancient passage means death, this is the consensus of everyone. This figure, who rose like a comet, fell like a comet.

......

......

Tick, tick.

A drop of water hits the face, and it's a little cold.

Li Xiaosen opened his eyes with some difficulty, and what came into his eyes was a ceiling made of earthy yellow bricks, and a dilapidated and broken pipe was leaking water little by little, hitting Li Xiaosen's face.

"I ...... Still alive?" it took Li Xiaosen a while to regain consciousness and truly return to consciousness.

Almost every inch of muscle and every bone in the whole body was in pain, Li Xiaosen subconsciously touched his heart, and then was stunned, because the black gold was not in the heart, but if I remember correctly, when he was finally pulled into the ancient passage by a smooth woman's arm, the black gold was still in the heart.

Li Xiaosen sat up and looked around a little blankly, only to see that this was an underground tunnel-like building, the width and height of the passage were the same, quite spacious, and the night pearls on the walls emitted a dim yellow light.

There was silence all around, like a forgotten corner of the world, except for the rhythmic sound of dripping water, echoing through the passage.

"Here it is...... Ancient passage?" Li Xiaosen muttered to himself.

At this time, Li Xiaosen suddenly thought that he was not ingested by the suction, but pulled in by an arm, an arm with a faint fragrance, which should be a woman.

He didn't turn around at that time, so he didn't see the face of the woman behind him, but from the frightened expressions of everyone in the main courtyard outside the passage, Li Xiaosen could roughly guess a thing or two.

Li Xiaosen thought for a moment, propped himself up, and slowly walked to the edge of the wall of the passage, where there was a narrow recess, and there was a statue of an ancient warrior standing inside, but only a small half was left. Li Xiaosen took a deep breath and crawled into the groove, hiding behind the sculpture of the ancient warrior. During the whole process, Li Xiaosen's face turned pale in pain, but he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.

He didn't know what danger was in this passage, and he didn't know what the hell was dragging him into the passage, he only had one belief in his heart: that is, to live, to fight to get out, and his sister still needed himself.

There is no point in running away blindly, and it is unrealistic with his current physical condition, so Li Xiaosen decided to take a gamble and stay here to repair his injuries as quickly as possible and recuperate.

The battle mage clan is not good at cultivating and healing, but Li Xiaosen is a little different from other battle mages, he was once known as the "Thousand Illusion Demon", he has learned too many abilities and skills outside the battle mage clan, and now he picked a few healing methods of the dragon clan and the elf clan, and began to heal himself with his own light attributes. As for the weapon, he had already looked around on the way to the groove just now, whether it was black gold or a long stick-type divine weapon, he was no longer around.

"It's not hard to explain that the Divine Soldier was inhaled before I was pulled into this passage. ”

Li Xiaosen thought to himself, "But the black gold is my natal weapon, it was originally in my chest, it is impossible to jump out by myself, right? So the person who pulled me in pulled it out? Well, the person is expected to come back later, I want to see what kind of guy it is......

If you were someone else, you would probably be in a panic in this situation, but Li Xiaosen suppressed all negative emotions and only did what he needed to do like a machine.

In fact, this kind of situation is the most familiar to him in his previous life. He is good at lurking, camouflage, adapting, and enduring. On the contrary, it is the collision of the frontal battlefield, the battle in the ring, and the upright heads-up, these areas that ordinary combat mages specialize in, but in fact, they are not Li Xiaosen's real strengths.

In this way, Li Xiaosen counted the time while healing.

There was no alternation of day and night in the ancient passage, and after about two hours, Li Xiaosen's face suddenly moved, and the muscles of his whole body tensed slightly, and he retracted into the innermost shadow of the groove behind the sculpture, while slowly slowing down his breathing until he completely stopped.

He could feel that someone was coming.

After a while, I saw a figure appear outside, Li Xiaosen looked at it for a moment, and said in his heart: "Sure enough, it's a woman!" But after looking at it for a while, he frowned again, "No, the arm that pulled me in was as white as jade...... No, it's not jade, it's very warm, but the arm is white and cold, like the most perfect marble. But this woman ......"

He stared at the woman outside, not a woman, to be precise, but a girl of the same grade as himself.

The girl's outfit was very strange, it was actually a bit of the battle outfit of the technical department of the New Era Cultivation Academy, and at the same time, it was a bit of Yan Zong's short-fighting outfit, which was somewhere in between. She was wearing a tactical vest, the sleeves on one arm were torn in half, revealing most of her arms, and her skin was a healthy wheat color, which was completely different from the white and bewitching woman's arm that pulled Li Xiaosen into the passage before!

"So should I make a sneak attack, or continue to hide?" Li Xiaosen couldn't make up his mind for a while.

After all, the amount of information that can be obtained at present is too small, and it is strange enough to be pulled into the ancient passage by someone, and now it is even more strange that traces of human beings have been found in the ancient passage where no one should have lived.

The girl was human, and Li Xiaosen could see it clearly. It's just that for the time being, I can't determine the relationship between friend or foe.

The girl stopped where Li Xiaosen was lying before, closed her eyes, and sniffed her nose, as if sensing something.

Li Xiaosen's heart was awe-struck, thinking that he had deliberately erased the traces and breath just now, but this girl seemed to have an unusual sense of spirit and perception.

The sound of water ticking in the passage is faintly echoed, and the atmosphere is indescribably weird and difficult to understand.

At this time, Li Xiaosen suddenly saw that the girl finally turned sideways, and her face happened to be facing him, revealing a beautiful and aura face, which seemed to be a mixed-race child, and was a bit like a beautiful little fox.

"This ...... This looks ......" Li Xiaosen was shocked in his heart, thinking, "Why is it so similar to Katz?"
