I nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

After a brief exchange with Wang Wangyang, I followed them to observe the surrounding environment.

It was nothing like the strange golden jade forest I was in, it was a long tunnel, the space was quite empty, but there was no light in it.

We are able to see our surroundings clearly by simply relying on the few flashlights we hold in our hands.

"This place is only separated by a wall from the forest just now, so we can effectively communicate with you."

After Wang Wangyang finished speaking, his eyes stared vigilantly at the passage ahead.

"But, when we first came here, I seemed to faintly see a figure, but it disappeared so quickly that I didn't know what he looked like. Later, in order to show you the way, the two of us did not chase after it. ”

Li Zhuang also nodded on the side, obviously he also saw the shadow.

I suddenly thought of the guy in the hazmat suit I had met in the woods earlier.

Perhaps, I saw the same person as them.

I immediately told them about the situation, and the two of them were silent for a while, then shook their heads.

"No, we and you definitely didn't see the same thing, because the shadows we saw at that time were very thin, and we weren't wearing heavy protective clothing at all."

Our protective clothing is of good quality, and the whole person looks bloated when we wear it, but the whole body is relatively light and thin, which does not hinder our movement.

Therefore, in order to better protect our bodies, several of us did not take off our clothes.

I glanced at the two of them, and they were indeed fatter than usual in protective suits, and if they were really wearing this suit, I think the two of them would not be unrecognizable.

I took a deep breath and looked at the tunnel ahead in confusion.

While a few of us were struggling with whether to move forward, we suddenly heard footsteps coming from the tunnel ahead.

Immediately after, a voice sounded in front of him.

"Someone."

I stared warily at the tunnel and quickly stopped in front of the two of them.

Cui Hao also carefully took out the glass cup from his body, and stared ahead cautiously and carefully, for fear that the owner of the voice would launch a sneak attack on us.

But fortunately, the voice only rang for a while, and then suddenly disappeared into our ears, and then it never sounded again.

I looked at the three people beside me, winked at them, lifted the sword above and cleared the way ahead.

And a few of them followed me closely, quietly following me and slowly groping for the wall, quietly walking forward.

In order not to disturb the person who had just made a sound in front of us, several of us turned off our flashlights and quietly groped our way forward against the wall.

In addition to that, we tied a rope around each of our waists to prevent us from getting separated halfway through.

Halfway through, I lowered my voice to talk to them, for fear that I would accidentally lose some of them.

We walked forward for nearly 100 meters, and suddenly there was a sudden opening in front of us, and there seemed to be a faint circle of warm white light in the passage in front of us.

"Sure enough, there are people, if you read it correctly, this should also be the light of the flashlight."

I lowered my voice gently and waved at them.

"Be careful and follow me, I'll go up and explore the environment, and you must not make a sound."

With that, I took the lead in taking a step forward.

It's just that as soon as my left foot stepped out, my body was dragged by a force behind me, and I almost fell to the ground.

"What for?"

Standing behind me is Cui Hao, why is this guy pulling the rope around my waist and not letting me go.

Hearing my questioning, Cui Hao's puzzled voice rang out next.

"Little master, what did you say? I didn't do anything! ”

I was stunned.

Although Cui Hao, the fat man, is not in tune and unreliable on weekdays, he is quite serious in most cases.

He used to joke with me a lot, but in the most serious moments, he would never tease me with such things.

So, if he wasn't tugging at my waist just now, then what was it that suddenly pulled the rope around my waist?

When I realized this, I couldn't help but breathe a little lighter.

I immediately turned around and fumbled for the rope around my waist and pulled it back.

It's just that I suddenly found that the rope seemed to be a little longer, and I turned it for a long time, but I didn't pull my head.

"Fatty, why did you put the rope so long?"

The rope on my body is fixed, if the rope is suddenly lengthened, then it can only be that Cui Hao untied his rope, so he can't touch the edge.

Only this time, I suddenly noticed that there was no one behind me to answer my questions.

"Cui Hao, fat man, why don't you speak?"

It was still quiet, and there was no sound.

My voice was rather empty and calm in the tunnel.

I realized that something was wrong, so I hurriedly called Wang Wangyang and Li Zhuang again.

But the two of them seemed to disappear behind me, and no matter how much I called, no one answered my questions.

I got goosebumps all over my body.

I immediately grabbed the rope and tried to get the three of them out.

But I soon found out that I had caught the rope in the head, but the three of them had not shown up until now, and all three of them had untied the ropes.

At this point, I didn't care about the lights and sounds in front of me, I had to turn on the flashlight and see what the hell the three of them were up to.

So I immediately pushed off the flashlight and aimed it at my side.

With just one glance, I instantly felt cold.

Because at this time, I was the only one in the passage, and the three of them were not behind me at all.

The long tunnel was empty, and the three of them could not be seen at all, but Cui Hao was still standing behind me when he answered my question just now.

How could it have suddenly disappeared in such a short period of time?

I swallowed nervously and spat.

But it seemed that because of the light on my side, a vigilant voice suddenly came from the passage in front of me.

"Who's behind us?"

Immediately afterward, a series of footsteps rushed towards my location.

When I heard the shouting, I was relieved.

Since I can ask who I am normally, it means that the light in front of me is definitely not made by underground monsters.

Maybe the four major families who came down here first, if not from their family, at least they are alive.

I didn't care much, so I hurriedly turned the flashlight and looked in the direction where the sound was coming from.

The footsteps hurried, and soon rushed in front of me.

I clearly saw that the leader was an old man with a white beard, and the old man's eyes widened in astonishment the moment he saw me.

"It's you, why are you here?"

The moment I saw this old man, I only felt at a loss in my heart, as if I didn't know him.

As if to see that my expression was wrong, the old man smiled slightly.

"I know your grandfather, and naturally I know your name, you are now in Chang'an, and you can be regarded as having a head and a face."

As he spoke, he looked curiously at my side.

"Now that we have all learned the news and come to the bottom of this deep pool, it must not be surprising that you have come here with your ability, young master."

As he spoke, the old man's eyes were filled with admiration.

"However, we are family members who came here together, I really didn't expect you to have such courage to break into such a place alone, and even be able to walk here, which is really powerful."

I was told by this old man that my heart was weak for a while.

I came down by myself, and there were clear companions behind me.

It's just that they're nowhere to be found now.

But obviously, the old man in front of me has a good impression of me, maybe I can talk to him about the conditions, and let their people follow me to find out Cui Hao and them.

Thinking of this, I didn't waste any more time, but immediately bowed slightly to the old man.

"I don't know your name, old sir. I'm sorry that the juniors are short-sighted, but I have one thing I hope you can help me with. ”

With that, I immediately pointed behind me and tugged at the rope around my waist.

"I just entered the tunnel with three of my other friends, and we all had ropes tied around our waists to keep us from getting separated."

Speaking of this, I can't help but feel chills in my heart.

As soon as I saw the rope in my hand, I was very worried about the safety of the three of them.

I really couldn't figure out what kind of situation it was like for the three of them to suddenly disappear behind me, and even the ropes were untied.

"Just now, the three of them were standing behind me, but in the blink of an eye, the three of them didn't move. When I shouted to the three of them, I didn't get a response, so I turned on the flashlight. ”

After hearing my words, the old man's eyes suddenly took on a bit of caution and caution.

"You mean, what did your three companions just disappear from this tunnel?"

When he said this, the old man's figure trembled, and he immediately beckoned to several companions behind him.

"You guys, turn on the flashlight immediately, and take a look around me to see if there are any traces left by the living."

As he spoke, the old man immediately walked up to me, grabbed me by the arm, and dragged me to his side.

Then he quickly shook his head at me.

"Boy, if I were you. I'm not going to stay in this tunnel, it's a weird place. ”
