Chapter 171: Enter the Fifth Layer
When Liu Xin left the tunnel, standing in the passage, he could indeed vaguely see a vague attribute panel between the passage on the first and second floors.
But at the time, he didn't think about it so much, he just thought it was a jailer.
I didn't expect that it was a martial artist of the True Demon Sect who was guarding there.
Liu Xin glanced in the direction of the passage on the third floor again, and at this moment, no other movement or attribute panel appeared in that direction.
"It's a chance, let's go!"
Liu Xin decisively chose to take this opportunity to break into the third layer.
Geng Fatzi was already a little panicked.
But Liu Xin will definitely not leave Geng Fat Man here alone.
Let Liulang carry Geng Fatzi together, and the three of them quickly walked in the direction of the third-floor passage.
There were already a few more corpses at the entrance of the third-floor passage, and blood stumps were everywhere, and the fat man was weak for a while.
If it weren't for Rokuro's support, it is estimated that he would have fallen.
Almost carrying Geng Fat, the three of them came to the entrance of the third floor.
There used to be a gate wrapped in iron sheets, but now it seems that something has broken through from below, a huge gap, and the edges of the iron sheets have been rolled up.
The source of that loud bang just now may be this big hole.
When Geng Fatzi saw this big hole, his heart was already filled with fear.
What the hell is it to be able to make such a thick tin door look like this!
And the frightened roars of the jailers before still echoed in Geng Fatzi's ears.
On the contrary, when the monster passed by the door of the cell, his mouth and nose were covered by Rokuro, so he didn't see the monster.
But there is a way that the more mysterious it is, the more frightening it will be.
Liu Xin knew that nothing he said now would make Geng Fatzi cheer up.
Looking at Geng Fatzi's appearance, it is better to knock him out.
Easily knocked Geng Fat Man unconscious, Rokuro supported him, and the three of them walked through the tattered gate and walked towards the three floors below.
The environment suddenly became dark, most of the candles on both sides of the walkway had been extinguished, and the claw marks of unknown creatures appeared on the walls on both sides of the tunnel.
Some of the claw marks also have some dark red blood stains on them.
The third floor is similar to the top two floors, except that the space on the third floor is significantly larger than the first floor!
But one thing that is different from the first and second floors is that the ground on the third floor starts to get slippery.
It's possible that the moisture rises because it's too far from the ground.
Liu Xin judged that no matter how many floors there were in this dungeon, there must be an underground river on the bottom floor.
Liu Xin, Liulang and the fat man Geng who was supported stepped on the slippery stone floor and walked slowly.
The dungeon was dimly lit, with only flickering candles barely illuminating the surroundings, and the air was damp and musty.
Liu Xin accidentally discovered that the top of this third dungeon was a stone stalactite.
These stalactites hang low and seem to drip nectar at any moment.
On the stone slab beneath your feet, you can occasionally hear the sound of water dropping to the ground, and this subtle sound echoes in the empty dungeon, adding a bit of loneliness and weirdness.
They go all the way deep into the dungeon, and several traps they encounter along the way are skillfully defused by Rokuro.
However, as you go deeper into the dungeon, the atmosphere becomes more and more oppressive, as if countless pairs of eyes are hidden in the darkness watching the three intruders.
On both sides of the passage were empty cells, which, unlike the first and second floors, were extremely empty, with nothing but puddles of water.
Along the way, Rokuro finds many traps, which are more like being set up to guard against foreign intruders, killing the enemy second, and most importantly, warning them.
Therefore, after encountering the first trap mechanism, it became Liu Xin who supported Geng Fat.
Because there may be traps hidden everywhere in this passage, it makes it a little more difficult to find the trap that Geng Fat Man said.
And the two True Demon Sect warriors behind him didn't know when they would suddenly return, so Rokuro concentrated on looking for any suspicious signs.
After walking about three hundred steps from the exit of the third floor, Rokuro suddenly stopped and fixed his eyes on a stone wall on the right wall.
He gently stroked the stone wall, felt its texture, and then groped for a groove.
Seeing this, Liu Xin immediately became vigilant, took a fire candle from the wall and approached the groove, and the faint light of the fire illuminated the surrounding stone wall.
After some hard work, Rokuro finally touched the mechanism.
The stone wall slowly opens inward, revealing a passageway. A musty smell came to my nose, mixed with the smell of damp earth. Liu Xin frowned slightly, and took the lead in entering the passage with Geng Fat Man on his back, followed by Liulang.
This is a slightly upward passage, and Liu Xin has confirmed through the property panel that there is no one ahead.
The location of this passage may also be in the middle of the third dungeon, and it is pitch black in the passage, and it is unknown what is hidden inside.
Even Liu Xin's strong eyesight could only vaguely see the inside of the passage.
Liu Xin realized at this time that the preparation when they came was still less, and the fire candle in Liu Xin's hand had to be put back, otherwise there would be a risk of exposure.
However, the passage is extremely dim, and if you can't see the surrounding environment clearly, it will only increase the danger factor.
Just as Liu Xin was about to wake up Geng Fatzi and ask him to discern whether this passage was the passage he was talking about, a faint sound came from the passage at the entrance of the third floor.
Liu Xin turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw the slow enlargement of the two attribute panels.
Those two True Demon Sect Demon Cultivators are back!
There was no time, and Liu Xin didn't know if the two of them would stay on the second floor and not leave after they returned, so he couldn't take the risk.
Liu Xin let Liulang and Geng Fatzi enter the dim secret passage first, and there was an obvious musty smell in this secret passage, which had obviously not been used for a long time.
This means that it is safe to hide in this secret passage.
Although the secret passage is dim, the space is not small.
Liu Xin followed him into the secret passage, and before entering the secret passage, he had already inserted the fire candle back into the wall where it had been.
When Liu Xin entered the secret passage, Liu Xin's eyes swept and saw that there was also a groove similar to the outside inside of the secret passage.
With a flick of his finger in the groove, the stone door of the secret passage closed silently again.
The mechanisms in this dungeon are definitely made by masters of tricks, and they are still so silky after many years.
This reminded Liu Xin of the craftsman gate of Roselle Villa.
There is a "Wood Spirit" of the craftsman in the craftsman's door, and the craftsman is the master of a generation of mechanical arts.
Liu Xin now feels that if he has the opportunity to return to Roselle Villa, he can try to get his hands on the "Wood Spirit Technique".
Combined with Rokuro's Rooster Crying Dog Thief Technique, it should be able to greatly improve Rokuro's cultivation.
Liu Xin watched the two True Demon Sect martial artists get closer and closer in the secret passage, and at the same time, through a stone wall, they could still clearly hear the conversation of the two in the corridor outside.
"This time the demon seed broke out, and the strength doesn't seem to be as strong as the last time."
"Heh, last time that guy practiced the horizontal training technique.
Because the physical body is stronger, it can carry more power of demon seed explosion. ”
"I see, but unfortunately, this time the missionary mission is expected to achieve the goal of the adults, and it is estimated that it has failed."
"Lao Tzu thinks that missionary makes the mind of the adult...... Probably wrong! ”
"Shhhh Even if the missionary is not there, be careful what you say! ”
"Yes, yes!
In fact, Lao Tzu did not say bad things about the missionary envoys, what Lao Tzu said was the truth.
If you just use the small Chengjing as the ontology, how strong can the demon seed you grow be?
If Lao Tzu wants to say it, he should use Dacheng Realm as the soil of the demon seed! ”
"Do you think Dacheng Realm is a cabbage?
It's already great to have a steady stream of small realms for you to experiment with! ”
"Okay, you understand what you said. I'm just really looking forward to the day when we can leave here sooner. ”
"Who said it wasn't, then who made God not look long and didn't give us enough talent!"
"Let go of his mother's talent, we just don't reincarnate well, if Lao Tzu was an official, Lao Tzu would not be here a long time ago."
"Okay, hurry up and get this thing back, and you have to write the story, if you haven't written it when the missionary envoy comes back, you will be affected!"
"Why can Lao Tzu stand it! Don't you have to write? ”
"Hehe, I've got to pick up a new test subject today!"
"Fuck!"
Across a stone wall, the two True Demon Sect's demon cultivators gradually moved away.
Just from the conversation between the two, Liu Xin heard a lot of information.
All kinds of information about this dungeon are what Liu Xin lacks now.
And the demon seeds, experiments, missionaries, etc. that the two talked about are all key information that can be analyzed by Liu Xin.
The missionary Liu Xin had met one before, and the missionary of the True Demon Sect didn't know what level it was, anyway, the Magu he met before was the top cultivator of the top-grade Dacheng realm.
I don't know what kind of cultivation this Red Sun missionary is, but I think it shouldn't be lower than the middle grade Dacheng realm.
Whether it is a mid-grade or a high-grade, it is not something that the current Liu Xin and Rokuro can shake.
Therefore, the news of the missionary's absence is undoubtedly the best news for Liu Xin now.
"Let's go!"
Liu Xin didn't know if the two True Demon Sect demon cultivators outside had gone deeper or stayed at this level, so it was a better choice to go inside along this secret passage.
Liu Xin took the lead in walking ahead, and the tunnel gradually went down, but the amplitude was not large.
Through the attribute panel, Liu Xin has been locking on Yan Conspiracy and Guo Fahu.
This was also the reason why Liu Xin chose to take the secret path, because he could judge his position through the demon cultivators of these two True Demon Sects.
Going down the secret passage, Liu Xin watched as Yan Hemou and Guo Fahu's attribute panels gradually moved from parallel to them and gradually moving upward, which meant that they were now going down.
And after walking about a hundred steps along the secret passage, a corner appeared in the secret passage, and after walking through the corner, the downward range of the tunnel suddenly became much larger.
At the same time, the attribute panels of Yan and Guo Fahu also began to sink, and Liu Xin estimated that Yan and Guo Fahu were now from the third layer to the fourth layer.
Looking at Yan Hemou and Guo Fahu's attribute panels, Liu Xin was surprised to find that after the attribute panels of the two of them dropped one level, they only stayed in place for a moment before continuing to go down.
Soon, Yan Conspired and Guo Fahu's attribute panel surpassed Liu Xin and them, and they went all the way down.
The fifth layer?
Liu Xin thought about what Geng Fat Man said before, there may be more than four floors under this dungeon.
And now it seems that Yan conspired and Guo Fahu should have gone to the fifth layer.
And Liu Xin and their passage through the secret passage are also continuing to fall, Liu Xin estimates that they are now more than ten zhang deep underground.
This is no longer something that can be done by manpower.
And this secret passage is definitely not artificial, the ground is not only slippery, but there is also a lot of moss on the walls, which is slippery to the touch of the dark.
And as the secret passage continued to slope downward, Liu Xin was okay, but Liulang was already a little unstable under his feet carrying Geng Fatzi.
At this time, the angle of the tilt of the secret passage is already enough for people to lie on it and slide down.
In other words, ordinary people have definitely slipped and fell down on their feet.
And Yan Conspire and Guo Fahu's attribute panels are no longer declining, and it is estimated that they have reached the fifth layer.
And Liu Xin, they are still going on.
I don't know where this secret passage will eventually lead.
After continuing to walk down for another two or three hundred steps, Geng Fatzi already had to be supported by Liu Xin and Liulang, and the secret passage had almost sloped into a very steep slope, and the ground was slippery, making the road very difficult.
Fortunately, the incline did not get worse, and it returned to a gentle ground.
Touching the secret passage and feeling the gradually rising temperature, Liu Xin knew that they were very close to the end.
In the end, Liu Xin and the other three came out of a natural stone cave, and at this time, the attribute panel of Yan Conspire and Guo Fahu had already come to the top of Liu Xin and the others, and it was estimated that there was a distance of about two zhang from them.
Leaving the stone cave, the outside space suddenly opened up, but no one seemed to have been here, the whole space was full of primitive stalactites, the ground was also uneven, and many stalactites above the head were dripping with crystal clear water droplets, and the water droplets dripped down the stalactite gaps, and finally fell into the deep waterhole on the ground.
Boom~
Boom~
From time to time, the sound of water dropping into a pool could be heard throughout the space.
Liu Xin can barely see clearly with his super eyesight.
This is also due to the fact that there are many faintly fluorescent stones and walls in this space, otherwise it would be impossible to see anything.
Liu Xin looked up and saw that Yan Conspire and Guo Fahu's attribute panels had separated, and the two seemed to be going in two different directions.
"Let's wake up the fat man first."
Liu Xin opened his mouth and said, there is at least a stone wall about one zhang above the head here, and the thickness of such a stone wall is not as long as it does not make too much movement, and the sound cannot be transmitted.
Moreover, after Yan conspired and Guo Fahu left, the distance was even greater, so now Liu Xin and Liulang could finally breathe a sigh of relief and resume normal communication.
Liulang put Geng Fat Man down, but did not rush to wake the other party up, but went to the entrance of the hole where they left first.
While Liulang laid the trap, Liu Xin continued to look up and observe the attribute panels of Yan Conspirator and Guo Fahu.
In the end, it was found that the properties panel of the Yan conspiracy stayed in one position and then did not move.
And Guo Fahu's attribute panel suddenly began to go upwards after walking a distance, and finally disappeared quickly.
Liu Xin frowned and watched Guo Fahu's attribute panel disappear.
Guo Fahu won't go back along the same path again, but Guo Fahu's attribute panel is gone.
In other words, Yan conspired with Guo Fa to protect them from the fifth floor of the dungeon.
Such a discovery is definitely not a good thing.
If there is only one entrance to the dungeon, then Xiao Qi must still be here.
But if there are other exits on the fifth floor of the dungeon, then it is doubtful whether Xiao Qi is still here.
"Ahem, cough, cough..."
Suddenly there was a cough from the fat man, Liu Xin turned to look, only to see that Liulang took some water from the pool and sprinkled it on the face of the fat man, who immediately woke up.
When Geng Fatzi came back to his senses, looking at the environment in front of him where he couldn't see his five fingers, he said in horror:
"Underworld! Am I coming to the underworld? ”
Geng Fatman's voice trembled, his hands grabbed in the air, and when he grabbed the trouser leg of Rokuro beside him, he immediately turned over and knelt down and kowtowed there repeatedly.
"Grandpa Ghost, no, Ghost Fairy! Ghosts! The villain hasn't done anything bad, can you let me go back, I'm old and young, I..."
"That's it!"
Liu Xin opened his mouth, with a hint of internal force in his voice, which directly made Geng Fatzi stunned in place.
"It's... Is it an adult? ”
"It's me! We're under the dungeon now, and as you say, there's more than four floors! Liu Xin said lightly.
Geng Fat Man suddenly woke up and got up slowly, for him, the surrounding environment was too dark to see anything.
However, his eyes gradually adjusted to his surroundings, and after a while, he was able to see a little more clearly the vague figures of Liu Xin and Rokuro.
"My lord, where is this, how can there be such a place in the dungeon?"
Geng Fat Man was a little incredulous.
"This should be the sixth floor of the dungeon!"
"Sixth floor!" Geng Fat almost exclaimed.
"Senior brother, where will Xiao Qi be?"
Liu Xin glanced at this layer of space and said lightly: "Go forward and see if you can find them." ”
Liu Xin's biggest reliance is the attribute panel, and Ma Dakui's attribute panel can be seen on the second layer before, so you can find it here.
However, what Liu Xin wanted to find more was Xiao Qi, and Liu Xin couldn't feel at ease without seeing Xiao Qi's attribute panel.
Without hesitation, Liu Xin and Liulang, as well as a fat Geng who stumbled a little because he couldn't see the road clearly, cautiously walked deeper.
.
The fifth floor of the dungeon is called the Lost City by Yan Conspiracy.
This is because the space here is made up of interconnected and irregular passages.
On this floor, not only is the space extremely large, but there are also countless passages, like a huge stone with countless holes inside, and ordinary people may not be able to find a way out for ten days and half a month inside.
Yan conspiracy heard that it took countless manpower and time to find a passage for people to pass through this space.
In the end, there were only three feasible passages that were found.
In addition to this, there are countless dead ends, detours...
And this is also the testing ground and hunting ground of the True Demon Sect's missionary Ram Red Sun.
In this labyrinth, there are still thirteen people who survived.
They are all prey in the mouth of the ram red sun, and the ram red sun is the hunter, and Yan conspiracy and Guo Fahu are the disciples of the ram red sun and the keepers here.
All the prey will be caught by the ram Red Sun in this labyrinth, implanted in their bodies, and then released to roam freely in the labyrinth.
In this process, the test subjects are implanted with demon seeds, and then gradually go crazy in the endless demon thoughts into their bodies, and the demon seeds will also absorb their internal power, flesh and blood, and all other powers, and strengthen their own demon seeds.
And when the demon seed grows up, the ram red sun will come to pick it.
Yan conspiracy stood in their resting stone room, first leisurely brewing himself a pot of tea, and then came to a certain place in the stone room, where there was a window-like opening, standing here and looking down, you could see that many stone paths were distributed like layers of cobwebs.
It's like a huge labyrinth.
"I don't know when the ram red sun's experiment will be completed, how come these damn prey can't come out with a success.
By the way, there's another guy hiding in this maze, and he's idle anyway, so let me come back to you again, just to try this spear! ”
Yan conspired to turn around and come to the corner of the stone room, picked up a strip of cloth that was placed there, and tore open the strip of cloth, revealing a spear full of energy inside.
If Liu Xin sees it, he will recognize it, this is Xiao Qi's spear!
Yan conspired to look at the spear in his hand, his eyes full of greed.
"What a spear! It's a pity..."
Yan Hemou felt extremely sorry in his heart, this exquisite spear was the hidden kid, after the two of them entered this place, he, Guo Fahu and the old ghost barely won each other.
But the little imp was too fast, so he still let him run.
I haven't found it yet!
As for the other one, the missionary has already planted the demon seed in his body, and it is estimated that he will soon be driven crazy by the demon thoughts.
This person's physique is good, and I don't know if he can conceive a powerful enough demon seed.
If you can change into that demon seed, you may be able to advance to the middle grade Dacheng realm.
Maybe by then, you'll be able to have this spear...
Yan conspired to caress a spear like a beloved woman.
Then he walked towards the stone room with his spear in his hand.
And in the midst of the labyrinth, a staggering figure was walking aimlessly through the endless stone path.
"Brother... Brother... I'm going to get out... I'm going to... Belch! Get out! Get out of my head! You monster! Don't read it in my head, you monster! Ahhh ”
This man was muttering to himself, and suddenly he held his head, as if something terrible had happened, his eyes were red, the green tendons on his neck protruded, and he kept twisting, and he knelt down with his head in pain, and this kneeling even smashed the ground into cracks!
Then he rolled over in agony, and the whole body slammed to the ground, and then there was a groan of pain, and he rolled, and soon his head was bleeding, and his already tattered clothes became even more tattered.
"Ma Dakui!"
Just as the man continued to twist and roll on the ground, a figure came to him as fast as lightning.
But before he could squat down and help Ma Dakui up, Ma Dakui, who was still rolling on the ground, suddenly froze, turned his head to look at the person who came, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
"Lao Tzu killed you monster!"
