But I quickly dispelled that suspicion.

If we did run into the volcano, then the previous caves, especially the one with the dark river, would be even more impossible.

According to my previous analysis with Cui Hao.

This place is a central structure, and to be precise, a huge cylindrical shape has been dug from the top down.

In the very center of these original works, there is a layer, and there are partitions between the top and bottom.

It may seem as if each floor is separate, but if you look closely, you can see the chain bridge in the Death Gate above from the bottom of the dark river.

When I think of the strange scene I saw at that time, I felt a chill in my heart.

"There is that dark river underneath the ground, if it was really magma, then this river would have been dried up a long time ago, how could it still flow here from beginning to end?"

When I think about it, I feel even more confused.

But if you want to know the answer, then you can only move on.

I picked up my speed and walked quickly forward with Zhang Xu.

However, after walking for nearly half an hour, I already realized that something was wrong.

Zhang Xu suddenly turned around, with a bit of uncertain fear in his voice.

"The two of us, are the two of us lost? Or are we hitting the wall in a spin on the spot? ”

He kept shining his flashlight on the walls around him, his eyes flashing with doubt and horror.

"We've been walking along the stone wall, and with this stone wall as our reference, we shouldn't be lost. But if you don't explain it that way, the underground space is too big. This is in the mountain, what kind of manpower and material resources can hollow out the entire mountain? ”

I shook my head and denied his speculation.

"No, it can't be hollowed out. I think it's probably a ghost here, like we've encountered before, confused by something. ”

I sensed the temperature on the wall, and then carved a mark on the wall with my dagger.

"So, let's move on. If you can still see this trace for a while, then it proves that we have walked back. If we can't see it, we should be moving forward. ”

After saying that, I immediately took Zhang Xu with me, suppressed the fear in my heart and continued to grope along the wall.

But in reality, I have been feeling vaguely uneasy.

I don't know why, but I have a vague hunch. Even if we continue to move forward, we may not be able to successfully get out.

Or rather, we should never see the mark I carved again.

I picked up my speed and tried to get out of here as quickly as possible.

Zhang Xu also followed behind me, constantly checking the surrounding environment.

Again, we walked forward for almost ten minutes.

But this time, we found nothing.

We're not slow.

At least it was twice as fast as the careful exploration just now.

This also means:

With ten minutes of our time, at least we should have gone around again.

It stands to reason that it will go back to the place where I carved the mark.

But when I groped for the wall, the road was empty.

The walls were uneven, but there was no sign of the cross I had carved on them.

Zhang Xu's face was quite ugly.

"What should we do, are we lost underground?"

I reassured him not to worry as I tried to shout behind me.

"Cui Hao, Wang Wangyang, can you two hear me?"

Both of them are quite clever, especially Cui Hao.

You know, we've been walking for almost an hour.

Cui Hao must have already sensed that something was wrong.

You must know that we have a mechanism warlock Wang Wangyang here, Cui Hao realized that something was wrong, and brought Wang Wangyang to find the two of us.

Maybe we'll be able to crack the formation here and save us from this ghostly wall.

However, after I shouted a few words, there was no response from behind me.

Just when I was ready to give up.

Suddenly, a few dozen meters behind me, there was a commotion.

"What sound?"

Zhang Xu was like a frightened bird, quickly turned around and raised the dagger to look behind him.

I told him not to be impulsive.

I dragged Zhang Xu behind me, then immediately lowered my body and silently took a step in the direction of the voice.

"Be careful, let's go cautiously this time, I'm afraid if we make another sound, it will alarm that thing."

Zhang Xu nodded at me and followed me silently.

I even took my shoes off.

I could clearly perceive the edges and corners of the stones on the ground, but at the same time the two of us barely made any sound.

Just a dozen meters after we walked forward.

Suddenly, I noticed a gray-black figure in front of me.

It's just that this figure is hiding in a white mist at this time, and it is not clear what he looks like at all.

"Who are you?"

I shouted like the figure of the man questioned.

The moment he heard my voice, the man jumped up and ran back as if he were frightened.

"Don't go."

I immediately followed, and at the same time dragged Zhang Xu next to me and followed closely behind, for fear of being left in place by this guy.

We went around and around, but we still lost the shadow.

The thing was running so fast that it didn't give us any chance to catch up with him.

We chased him around a corner, and when he turned the corner, he disappeared in front of us.

"Cui Hao, Wang Wangyang, is it the two of you?"

I didn't hesitate to ask the darkness ahead.

But the two men had disappeared, and there was no trace of them at all.

I cautiously walked forward with my dagger.

Zhang Xu seemed to be frightened and kept swallowing his saliva.

The sound of him swallowing saliva was very obvious to my ears, and it greatly affected my judgment.

"If you're afraid, then you stand here and don't move, I'll give you the rope, you can just drag me, I'll go to the front to see the situation."

With that, I tied the rope around my own waist and gave him the other end.

Zhang Xu shook his head, quickly walked to the side of the team, and sped up his speed to move forward.

"I'm with you, let me stay here alone, in case I really encounter something dangerous, I don't even have a place to call for help."

I nodded and said no more, and I continued on with him, once again through the long cavern tunnel.

But it was completely different from what it was now, it was extremely quiet, and only the sound of the two of us rubbing on the ground could be heard.

As we continued on, we reached the end, where we were stopped by a stone wall and there was no exit at all.

"How so?"

Zhang Xu stared at the front in disbelief, banging the wall.

The wall is clearly sealed, unlike the stone walls we used to pass through the tunnels where the traps could be opened and closed at will.

The wall was clearly there in the first place.

Zhang Xu stared at the stone wall in front of him in disbelief, and turned his head to look at me.

"What to do? We actually came to the end, but it was just a one-way street, and there was no fork in the road at all. So where did the figure we saw in the tunnel go to? ”

I shook my head, only to feel a wave of uneasiness welling up in my heart.

I dragged Zhang Xu and walked back with him.

"Let's go back first."

With that, I immediately quickened my pace and quickly led him towards the dark passage ahead.

At this point, I already had a vague sense of unease.

Zhang Xu may not have noticed, but I have been paying attention to the direction we came.

The direction we had just gone in was to follow the path we had just taken back.

But now, we didn't even walk to Cui Hao and the two of them, but were stopped by this stone wall.

It's a weird situation.

I shook my head, shaking off the uneasiness in my mind.

"Let's go, don't waste time."

But as we moved forward, I suddenly heard footsteps behind me.

The footsteps approached, and as we walked forward, the sound grew closer.

But every time we looked back, the two of us never saw the owner of the footsteps.

Zhang Xu was already so frightened that he turned his head to look behind him again and again, and even grabbed my hand tightly in fright, not daring to move.

"What's going on? Is there anyone behind us? ”

After saying that, he suddenly gritted his teeth, turned around sharply and took a step back.

"I don't believe it, can people still be scared to death?"

As he spoke, he drew the dagger from his body, and did not listen to my obstruction at all, but sped up and walked back along the way he came.

Soon, we came to the passage ahead.

The passage was still empty, but as we turned the corner, there was still a distinct sound of footsteps.

It is impossible for a living person or a dead corpse to disappear in front of us in such a short period of time at such a fast speed.

I simply leaned down and looked carefully on the ground.

But I still didn't see anything.

Since there is no one here all year round, it is said that a thin layer of ash has fallen on the ground.

I could clearly see the footprints of the two of us, but further on, the footprints in front of me were blurred.

It was as if we had been deliberately wiped by something, and it was impossible to see where we came from.

Besides.

Next to our footprints, we didn't see any other lines other than the pattern of the shoes on both of our feet.

"What the hell, did you say there was no one in this passage just now?"

Zhang Xu was nervous, and kept kicking the dagger in circles, trying to find the owner of the footsteps just now.

"There's a kind, don't hide it. It's scary to hide in the shadows, isn't it? If you have the ability, you will come out, and we will confront you face to face. ”
