122: Pothole

couldn't wait to think about it, in order to survive, Gu Changsheng jumped up from the ground with a heel. He staggered through the swaying passage, and now he could no longer care about hiding his figure.

After walking a few hundred steps, Gu Changsheng soon saw the exit.

It was a small cave that was sloping upward, and now it was only a little more than half a meter high on the left and right, and the inside of the cave seemed to be crawling with a surging mist, and now he couldn't see it clearly.

What's in this hole, and what's going to be on the horizon...... Gu Changsheng didn't know anything.

And in order to get inside, he had to lie on the ground and crawl forward before he could get into it.

This posture is obviously not very convenient for facing the enemy and rushing.

Can......

There is no choice at the moment.

Gu Changsheng gritted his teeth and had to choose to enter it at this moment. He smothered headlong into the hazy mist for a moment.

It's completely gone.

The whole crater swayed with a roar, until at last there was a mournful roar that completely submerged the passage.

……

Gu Changsheng felt like he was walking in the mist.

It was also after entering the pit that he quickly realized that something was not quite right - the overall direction of the pit was not upward, but slightly downward!

It's weird.

Because he was already underground, he continued to lean downward...... Isn't this farther and farther away from the ground level?

Gu Changsheng already had some anxious emotions in his heart, but due to the urgency of the current situation, there was already a non-stop roar behind him.

This made him even if his scalp was a little numb, but he still couldn't slow down at the moment.

Gu Changsheng climbed half a pillar of incense so quickly, and when there was no movement behind him, he slowly slowed down.

The potholes are crowded and rushed. Nowadays, there is no option to turn around.

Gu Changsheng had to struggle to move out of half of his body, so that he could barely lower his head and glance in the direction he came.

However, all that came to view was a creeping fog.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng's mind also moved slightly. At first, he thought it was just water vapor in a simple sense, but from the present......

This thing is not like that at all, Gu Changsheng even recalled the appearance of his Sudoku crossing the 'boundary' and exploring outside the map, and he also had a conclusion in his heart at the moment.

I'm afraid that behind that stone wall, Gu Changsheng has already escaped the restrictions of this map.

It seems that the end of the sewer is already the boundary of the dungeon......

With such a thought in his heart, Gu Changsheng had to shake his head lightly at this moment. After all, there is no point in delving into this matter now, and it is better to focus on the present.

I saw him stretch out his hand and grope in his arms for a while. A moment later, there were more fine pieces of sand in Gu Changsheng's palm.

These things were the 'treasures' that Gu Changsheng had taken from the stone altar before.

Seeing the thing in his palm, Gu Changsheng's somewhat tired face now showed a somewhat happy expression.

This thing can be said to be the biggest reward of this trip.

What can be found in the Round Table Chamber, and what is also the remnants of the center of the Dungeon of the Giants......

All kinds of information emphasize the uniqueness of these gravels.

When he goes out, he will honestly go to Dongcheng to settle for a period of time - under the premise that he has opened high-level permissions, Gu Changsheng can always find an opportunity to knock on the side.

All he needs now is time.

After thinking about this, Gu Changsheng's mood also recovered a little. With the visible goal in front of the naked eye, it can really have an uplifting effect.

The sand was repacked, cleaned up, and finally gathered to a place near his chest. Gu Changsheng adjusted his breathing while continuing on the road.

The only question left is what the off-map scene will be.

Gu Changsheng thought about it at this moment, and quickly recalled his previous exploration experiences.

Nuwa Temple of the Celestial Calendar.

The downtown streets during the Huanglong period.

These two explorations have made Gu Changsheng gain a lot, and I don't know this time...... What will he face?

When the thoughts are continuous, the thoughts are continuous. Just when Gu Changsheng was thinking like this, he suddenly heard some subtle movements for no reason.

This made Gu Changsheng's expression succumb.

I don't know when...... The bright atmosphere around Gu Changsheng had already darkened. The ubiquitous green glow dissipated, and only an endless black curtain remained.

In the pitch black environment, Gu Changsheng stopped moving.

There is no small movement, and there is no noise. The originally somewhat ethereal voice was now three points clearer.

That's right...... It's the sound of someone talking!

It seems that he is now out of the area of the Giant's Dungeon.

But that's a little weird.

Because Gu Changsheng knew that every time he entered an area outside the map, he should bring it into some kind of background.

For example, in the Nuwa Temple, he walked in the fog, and the surrounding scenery changed from a country road to a mountain road, which is exactly why.

From the moment it looks...... I was obviously still in the hole, and I hadn't left this 'environment' yet, but now I actually switched to another scene.

What's going on here?

And listening to this movement, it is obviously not far from him.

This illustrates......

Someone is having a heated conversation outside this hole!

The transmission of sound has always been interactive, and at such a distance, this means that Gu Changsheng also has the risk of exposing himself.

Thinking of this, Gu Changsheng's lips pursed slightly.

He didn't choose to move immediately, but tried to close his eyes slightly, and at this moment he attached his ear to the wall of the tunnel.

Immersing himself in a certain sense, Gu Changsheng's hearing was also strengthened in a certain way—he felt like a radio that emitted a signal, and invisible tentacles drifted in the air, trying to touch the source of the signal.

I have to say that the movement was very small, and now it sounds even more fragmented, except for the emphasis of the other party's female identity, as well as the slightly eager tone......

Gu Changsheng couldn't piece together effective content for reference at all.

'Emergency, return to ......'

'Assess, reconsider......'

Information like this sounded completely confusing to Gu Changsheng, and he could probably understand that the other party seemed to be arguing about something.

The atmosphere was clearly not harmonious.

At this time, it is naturally suitable to stand still - Gu Changsheng judged the same way, he was like a summer cicada in winter, his wings were extinguished, and he did not emit a little breath.

Under the experience of many times, Gu Changsheng already had enough patience to prepare.

He closed his eyes now, and at this moment, he was half leaning into the hole.

Information is an important part of the first reference, and it is impossible for Gu Changsheng to give up this opportunity to obtain information without risk.

Like a seasoned hunter, he crouched in a hole that had been dug in advance.

Rain, morning dew. Insect chirping, muggy...... All kinds of unfavorable factors could not affect the hunter's heart, in order to succeed, Gu Changsheng was willing to put all his efforts into it.

And after that, Gu Changsheng did gain some useful information.

He could hear that the people outside seemed to be caught in the confrontation of arguments because of some unexpected situation.

Gu Changsheng also took the opportunity to hear the two different tones clearly.

The woman was the first to hear, she was impatient and loud. The man's voice tends to be calm, not hurried or slow, and he feels a little at ease.

The two sides didn't argue for long, and it seemed that some kind of consensus was quickly reached. Gu Changsheng heard the movement of the door opening, and the sound of footsteps that were eager and gradually moving away.

This is supposed to be one of the parties leaving the place.

The other person who remained seemed to be collecting or preparing something. Gu Changsheng couldn't hear it clearly, and now he only knew that the small sounds were continuous—but soon, he heard the neighing sound of the chair dragging on the ground again.

The man must have gotten up.

At this point, I don't have time to dig deeper. Gu Changsheng heard the sound of footsteps coming from the side.

With the creak of the door closing, there was already a calm outside the pit.

The person should have left—this thought had just come to mind, but Gu Changsheng pressed such thoughts back into his mind with a strong thought that was counterintuitive.

You can't rush, you have to be patient.

I've been waiting for a while, and it's not too long......

Gu Changsheng waited for half a pillar of incense again.

And on the way, he did hear two small movements circling outside! The voice sounded powerful and powerful, with a strong sense of power.

It's not an exaggeration to say that this is a strange movement. Because it sounded to Gu Changsheng...... It's definitely not a footstep that anyone can step on.

Instead, it's more like some kind of heavy object, constantly stepping on the ground, and finally swinging out a subtle echo.

At the same time, the voice seemed to have not entered the door, as if it was leaning against the wall, and quickly staggered away.

Is it ......

Patrol?

Is it not a human thing......

Although this thing may not be as exaggerated as the 'monster' and the 'deformed giant', now Gu Changsheng has some psychological preparations.

But thinking about this, he was also a little nervous.

It seems that this place is a little more complex than I imagined.

Gu Changsheng was three points more serious at this moment, and he let out a long sigh, making sure that after the sound outside was far away, he started moving again.

The pit began to narrow slowly, and some of the bumps that Gu Changsheng's hands and feet touched also began to become a little slippery, and there was a disgusting smell.

In the darkness, Gu Changsheng didn't know what he had encountered. He could only endure the strange smell and continue to move forward until he ......

Touched a hard object in front of it.

Gu Changsheng realized...... The road has come to an end.

He reached out and fumbled for it, and found that the texture of the thing was not as hard as that of stone. It's a little soft, and the surface is a little wet......

Is it wood?

Gu Changsheng's hands were slightly forced, and the partition-like thing in front of him fell in response.

I saw that the scene outside suddenly brightened, and a burst of white light shone on Gu Changsheng's face, which also made him squint his eyes slightly.

Gu Changsheng jumped down from the pit, and after standing firm on the stone floor, he raised his head and looked around.

It's actually a small stove room.

In the room, which is only more than four meters wide, there is only an earthen stove embedded in the wall, and a set of tables, chairs and benches.

Gu Changsheng couldn't see the others, and after looking at it for a while, he turned his head and looked in the direction he came.

He actually came out of the fireplace......

No wonder when he was lying inside, he could touch something rough and strange at every turn.

These things are charred ashes, and only occasionally oil smoke enters them, which makes the inside of the pit slippery and disgusting.

Gu Changsheng even lowered his head to look at his appearance.

The trouser legs, hands, and body were already pitch black at the moment. As for how down-and-out he is, this naturally goes without saying......

I didn't expect there to be such a way to cross. ’

Secretly sighing in his heart, Gu Changsheng readjusted his state at this moment. He first walked around the room and found that it was cold in the earthen stove.

It must have been at least two hours since anything had been burned.

During the day, it's not a meal.

What is the time of day?

Gu Changsheng raised his head and glanced out.

The windowsill beside him was not closed, and now it was half-open, which happened to allow Gu Changsheng to see the scene outside—what caught his eye was a blooming lotus pond.

Turning his gaze upward, Gu Changsheng finally caught a glimpse of a bright light sun.

The light and heat hit the person without feeling dry, leaving only a little warmth...... To be able to have such a feeling, this must be a characteristic of winter and spring.

It was probably around the morning at this point.

It seems that the time is also a little different......

I just don't know what year and month it is.

Gu Changsheng's thoughts in his heart were flying, and he walked against the wall at this moment, and finally came to the edge of the windowsill and looked at it for a while.

Outside the aisle was quiet now—this was not unusual at all, because Gu Changsheng had carefully written down the time of the patrol in the pit before.

Now there are about five minutes left before the next cycle.

That was enough for him to move on to the next step.

Thinking of this, after Gu Changsheng finally determined the safety situation, he turned out.

He landed lightly in the corridor, his eyes swept around, and he saw it clearly at the moment. I saw that this is a square pattern.

The lotus pond in the middle has to be hundreds of square meters away, and around it are four straight but connected aisles.

Gu Changsheng couldn't see anyone walking in it, and now his gaze moved, and he landed directly on the hut next to the stove room.

If you guessed correctly......

The voice of the previous conversation came out here.

Gu Changsheng didn't stop at the moment, he stepped forward quickly and leaned straight to the edge of the hut. After listening for a moment, there was no movement in it.

Gu Changsheng cautiously stretched out his hand and pushed the door in at this moment.
