Chapter 368: The Tunnel Collapses

Curtis and Ward carried the bodies of Woodrow and Walter on their backs, and made their way through the tunnels.

Compared with them, Li Zijun, who had two hands empty, seemed particularly leisurely, and he followed behind the two unhurriedly.

This guy is a madman!

Curtis and Walter always look back and see Li Zijun's smiling expression, and such thoughts always flash in their minds. They really don't understand that Li Zijun Weishenme can still maintain such calmness even when the tunnel is constantly collapsing!

Soon after entering the tunnel, the passage they passed through began to collapse continuously. The tunnel seems to have fallen into disrepair and is on the verge of collapsing at any moment, and their arrival has become a straw that has broken the camel's back, leading to this situation.

In order to avoid being buried alive, Curtis and Uncle Walter ran forward as best they could. However, since there were no lighting objects in the tunnel, they could only barely see the road with the help of some naturally glowing ornaments on their bodies, which greatly limited their speed.

Especially Ward, if it weren't for Curtis's help, he doesn't know how many times he would have fallen!

Looking at the pair of uncles and nephews who were terrified, Li Zijun couldn't help snickering in his heart. Originally, with his eyesight, even without any lighting equipment, he had no problem walking or even running in this tunnel. But in order to see Curtis and Walder's frightened expressions more clearly, he still wore a necklace given to him by Archmage Kaye around his neck.

It is a necklace that Archmage Kaye has personally blessed and worn for a long time to strengthen the body, clear the eyes, and because it always gives off a soft glow. It will make the person wearing it look more intimate and friendly.

Li Zijun originally wanted to give it to Winnie as a dowry, but because of the wedding date, he was pressed by Virgil Bixia. The matter was put down. Unexpectedly, this necklace did him a small favor today. Let him find some different kind of fun in this boring tunnel!

Li Zijun behaved so relaxed, not that he was not afraid of death! In fact, when he first found out about this situation, he was also taken aback, and he even regretted jumping into this tunnel!

But it didn't take long for Li Zijun to find that the collapse of the tunnel only appeared behind them, and there was nothing unusual in front of them!

Li Zijun's heart moved, and he deliberately slowed down his pace. He was immediately astonished. The speed at which the tunnels collapsed was surprisingly consistent with the speed at which he was advancing! He walked fast, the tunnels collapsed fast, he walked slowly, and the tunnels collapsed slowly!

It turns out that the tunnel collapsed not because of disrepair, but because it has a self-destructive function!

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Li Zijun would never have believed that there was such a magical tunnel in this shijie!

It is this function that not only completely blocks the pursuit of later generations, but also minimizes the possibility of the escapee's whereabouts being discovered!

Just imagine, even if Gladys had already guessed that there was a tunnel under the dormitory, she would have ordered someone to dig three feet into the ground to search the dormitory.

can be in this case. She couldn't get any valuable information at all, let alone judge the direction of Li Zijun and the others' escape based on this!

Not only that, the designers of this tunnel also have a very practical and ingenious arrangement for the ventilation and dust suppression of the tunnel.

Li Zijun and the three of them walked in the tunnel for more than three hours in a row, but not only did they not feel breathless. It has not been affected by the dust raised after the collapse in the slightest!

The more he moved forward, the more Li Zijun felt that the designer was well-rounded and exquisitely designed. He couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up to this designer in his heart!

Originally, Li Zijun should have explained his discovery and analysis to Curtis and Uncle Huade's nephew. Dispel their fears.

It's just that Woodrow forced him to escort Walter out of the city before, which made him extremely disgusted. He finally chose to remain silent on this matter.

In Curtis and Walder's apprehension, they walked forward for another more than two hours. After passing a corner. Their eyes lit up, and a stone house studded with night pearls appeared in front of them.

As Lee Zi-jun Zuihou enters the stone house, a boulder falls heavily from the entrance, completely isolating the stone house from the tunnel.

Curtis and Walter both felt like they were in danger of dying when they saw the stone door falling, and they didn't care to let go of Woodrow and Walter, and sat directly on the ground, panting for breath.

Li Zijun took Curtis and Walter to rest, and he briefly observed the situation in the stone house.

The stone room is divided into two rooms, which are roughly the same, except for a stone table, which is why Curtis and Ward can only sit on the floor, and the inside is even more eerie, with three transparent crystal coffins placed side by side in the empty room.

Although there was nothing in the coffin, this scene still made Li Zijun feel creepy, he looked casually in the room, and hurriedly walked back.

But not long after, Li Zijun entered the inner room again, and then returned to the outer room. He just went in and out, going back and forth several times in a row, and his brow gradually furrowed.

"Grand Duke, is there any problem?" Curtis first noticed the change in Li Zijun, and he couldn't help but ask a little nervously.

"We seem to have entered a room with no exit!" Li Zijun said to Curtis and Walter with a solemn expression.

"What?" said Curtis and Walter as they rose from the ground.

"I've looked inside and out, but I haven't found an exit yet, and we seem to be locked up in a stuffy tank. ”

"There are three crystal coffins inside, let's settle the two princes first, and then let's figure out a way together. Li Zijun looked at the two people who were like frightened birds, sighed secretly, and reminded them.

Curtis and Walter only then remembered that they were carrying their relatives behind their backs.

With the help of Li Zijun, Woodrow and Walter were placed in a crystal coffin.

A day ago, the two most prominent people in the Ziqing Empire were lying silently in the crystal coffin at this moment.

There were no lamps, no flowers, and no funeral goods around them, and Curtis and Ward couldn't even change into clean clothes for them! The only ones they had were Li Zijun, the three mourners!

Looking at the two people lying peacefully in the crystal coffin, Li Zijun felt a lot in his heart, but for a while, he didn't know where to start!

Bowing deeply to them, Li Zijun patted Curtis and Ward on the shoulders and walked out of the room without saying a word.

Taking advantage of the time when Curtis and Walter said goodbye to their loved ones, Li Zijun took out some food from the spatial ring and put it on the table, and he began to observe the situation in the stone house more carefully as he ate.

Although there are no decorations in the stone house, the walls and roof are carved with words.

Li Zijun just swept it away, and didn't notice what was carved on the wall, this time he calmed down, and he found that the words on the wall that looked like a mess were actually warnings and statecraft.

The ancestors of the Ziqing royal family must have a deep intention in carving these words in this place, Li Zijun's heart moved, and he began to carefully study the words on the wall. Gradually, a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

"Grand Duke, have you found anything?" Curtis and Walter, who had come out of the room, had long noticed that Li Zijun was paying attention to the words on the wall.

At first, they also followed Li Zijun for a while, but soon they lost patience and turned their attention to the food on the stone table, but they never relaxed their observation of Li Zijun.

Seeing the change in Li Zijun's face at this time, Hua De couldn't help but step forward and ask.

"Not yet, but I think that since Ling Zu left these words in this place to warn future generations, he will never leave a way for his descendants to live!"

"Huh!" The moment Li Zijun turned his head to answer Huade, he seemed to have made some unexpected discoveries. But when he turned his head again, everything was back to normal.

Li Zijun repeatedly changed the angle and direction of looking at the wall, and gradually, he finally saw some clues.

In the words on the wall, there is a hidden sentence: To be alive is more important than anything else!

A simple sentence exhausted the sadness of the three of them at the moment, and also pointed out the direction of the future for them!

Looking at the words looming on the wall, Li Zijun finally understood the good intentions of the Ziqing Ancestor! He couldn't help but have a sincere admiration for this Ziqing Ancestor!

"Grand Duke, have you found the exit?" Hua De saw the relief on Li Zijun's face, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"It should be here!" Li Zijun walked to the wall and slammed his fist into the stone wall.

With a "bang", the stone wall was smashed out of a big hole by Li Zijun's fist.

This place is a blank space to hide the warning zuihou, Li Zijun feels that all the secrets should be here, and the goddess of luck favors him again!

Li Zijun and Hua De picked up the rubble with their hands and feet, and a silver handle appeared in front of them.

"Are you ready?" Li Zijun grabbed the handle and turned to Curtis and Walter to ask.

"Ready!" Curtis and Walter exchanged glances, and together they nodded firmly to Li Zijun.

After getting their confirmation, Li Zijun gritted his teeth and pulled the handle violently.

"Click!"

What the three of them didn't expect was that the handle was actually broken.

"I didn't make much effort!" Li Zijun explained embarrassedly under the reproachful gazes of the two.

"How so?"

"How so?!" Hope turned to despair, and Ward's voice went crazy.

"Wait, wait, there's a word on it!" Just as Li Zijun was checking the scars on the handle, he unexpectedly saw these words on the handle: Hand hammer! (to be continued......
