It's like claiming a prize, getting it right until the penultimate place, hopefully removing the finger that blocks the last one, only to find out that you missed the chance to win the jackpot.

But... Luo Xiaotian felt that this analogy was not good, because even if it was not the jackpot, he could already bury his head in the quilt and snicker after winning the second prize.

The current situation is that this large room is full of toppled objects, and if you follow previous experience, the exits of the rooms are always in the most prominent places, and these passages directly break through the walls between the rooms and open the doors of the original rooms, and the corridors outside are completely filled with dirt and rubble.

There were no traces of axes on the walls, which meant that those people at the beginning did not try to dig forward after opening this room, Luo Xiaotian didn't think that this was a choice they made on their own initiative, that was too abnormal.

If there was really no other way, it was also a way to continue to open the walls in the direction of these rooms, but Luo Xiaotian, who lacked tools and didn't know what was behind the walls, decided to put the option of opening the walls at the end of his consideration.

There were some broken glass jars in the overturned items, the objects or liquids in them had long been worn away by time without the protection of the glass barrier, and some other fragments could be seen to be made of glass like test tubes and beakers, Luo Xiaotian used the mage's hand to carefully remove these sharp fragments to check if there was any loose or hollow floor.

If you can find other passages, it will be much easier than breaking through the walls.

Finally, relying on the hand of the mage, Luo Xiaotian found a hollow floor in the corner of the room, before, there was a heavy bookcase on it, and now the surviving books have been put away by Luo Xiaotian, and the bookcase has also become rotten, and was casually thrown aside by Luo Xiaotian.

After inspecting the contents of the house again, Luo Xiaotian pried open the hollow floor, and the downward passage may be getting farther and farther away from the exit, but at least for now, this is the only place where he can move on.

In addition, Luo Xiaotian still didn't find where the vents that supported the entire underground space were.

......

The white fish soup, the sizzling barbecue steak, the bubbling sticky soup, how much Luo Xiaotian wants to be able to eat a hot meal now.

It's just that in a small space, even the Fireball Technique consumes a lot of oxygen, and the Light Technique can't bring any warmth at all.

Luo Xiaotian gnawed on the jerky in his hand and gave up the idea of drawing a heated magic array, the space here was too narrow for the magic array to be spread out at all. The next time he prepares, Luo Xiaotian plans to draw some useful magic arrays to bring on his body in advance, which is something that he couldn't do at all before, because the magic array drawn with paper can't be folded, and now with the space props, the space in the conch space can put down the complete magic array.

Even a luxurious double bed can be put down, let alone a magic array!

From here, it was completely part of the ruins, the narrow passages were surrounded by hard masonry, and the magic lamps on the walls still couldn't be lit.

This is supposed to be a secret passage to a certain place, and the previous room, perhaps belonging to a more important person, can quickly go to a certain place through this secret passage.

Luo Xiaotian hopes that this is the so-called escape route.

As the smell in the air changed in the direction of progress, Luo Xiaotian gradually lightened his pace. This kind of spiritual power trick Luo Xiaotian had always thought that it had no effect, after all, just attaching spiritual power to the nose can enhance the description of the sense of smell is too simple compared to other previous tips.

As a result, simple is not necessarily useless, relying on this little trick, Luo Xiaotian understands that he is almost at the end of this passage.

At the end of the passage was an upward ladder, fixed to the wall of the passage, and Luo Xiaotian climbed along this ladder to the top, where was a secret door.

Extinguishing the light technique in his hand, Luo Xiaotian saw that there was a subtle light emerging from the corner of the secret door, and it seemed that there was nothing above the secret door, although he didn't know what would be outside the secret door, but Luo Xiaotian still decided to open the secret door.

“... Isn't it an honor for you creatures of darkness to be buried in such a place that is so dark from the outside to the inside?"

"You didn't kill me, did you?"

At the critical moment, the sound of words coming from the other side prevented Luo Xiaotian from opening the secret door, Luo Xiaotian attached himself to the ladder and carefully attached his ears to the secret door.

"We all know what you sanctimonious guys are doing here, and if you want me to say, if you can't continue to get more power from your god, wouldn't it be good to let him fall from the altar generously? hahahahaha, maybe after pulling him down, you will find that he is just a hypocrite!"

"Shut up! You are not allowed to insult our gods... Forget it, it doesn't make sense to talk to people like you who are going to die here, there is one less powerful dark creature in this world, and the light of our Lord can illuminate more places and save more people. ”

"Hmph, so you're going to use what you get from here to send those who believe in you to hell forever?"

That was what they should have done for the brightness of God's light, a sacrifice they deserved. Well, we can't kill you, but we can still imprison you in this ruin, and it will be indefinite, Mr. Leander. ”

Next, all the voices of the talk disappeared, but... Leander?

After a few moments, a loud explosion came from a distance, stirring up dust in the cracks of the stones.

"Ahem... Ahem..."

Luo Xiaotian, who accidentally inhaled back to the city, didn't hold back his cough, even if he covered his mouth with his hand in time, in the quiet underground space, the sound of coughing was very obvious.

"Who?!"

"It's me... Mr. Leander. ”

Pushing open the secret door overhead, Luo Xiaotian saw the man in black leaning against the wall not far away, thanks to the light source that existed in this room, Luo Xiaotian recognized that the man in black was the one who had seen the head thief Leander a long time ago.

"Who?!"

“... It's me, Ronald Darwin, a student of Mr. Victor. ”

"Ahh I remember, you're Ronald... So, you heard all the conversations you just had?"

“......”

"Well, it's okay to hear it, it's just... If you come in here before we do, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out like me. ”

Leander didn't feel as strong as before, and judging from the wound on his abdomen that stained his clothes red, he should have been extremely badly injured.

As for topics such as dark creatures, Luo Xiaotian didn't think it was appropriate to bring them up here.

"No, Mr. Leander, I didn't come in from this side, and with your help we may be able to go back the way we came. ”

"Oh, hahaha, it seems that Lady Luck always favors me... I need some time to recover, do you have something to eat?"

"I still have some jerky. ”
