Chapter 284: The Approaching Stone Gate

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, he stood on tiptoe, and walked to the wall softly but quickly. He put his ear to the wall, and the sound of footsteps came from the other side of the wall. Li Mu turned his head and silenced the remaining three.

The footsteps were soft, fading away in the passage on the other side of the wall. Li Mu left the wall, walked to the entrance of the passage, and looked into the dark passage. It was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.

"Who was it just now?" asked Shen Li.

Li Mu shook his head, "I can't see anyone." ”

"Maybe it's not human. Leng Zizhou said coldly. His words made Yi Fan beside him stunned, and said with a little panic: "Don't scare me." Leng Zizhou pointed to the wall just now. "The footsteps just now, the time of each pause, are the same. ”

When Li Mu heard his words, he held his chin and said, "It seems that this is indeed the case." Are those skeletons again?"

Yi Fan had heard Li Mu talk about those skeletons of different materials, and when he heard Li Mu talk about it again, he was a little relieved. After all, the unknown is what makes him afraid. If you knew what it was, no matter how terrifying it looked, it wouldn't scare him. He was a little curious: "I actually wanted to ask just now, why do they have to carve into the shape of skeletons?"

"Probably to scare people. Li Mu said casually, and then said to Leng Zizhou: "Whether it is a person or not, the danger here is real." ”

"Now, put them all away. These lights are too obvious. Li Mu reminded. Leng Zizhou took the firefly beads into his arms, and as soon as the light was closed, the four of them fell into darkness. For safety, the four of them leaned against the same wall, and Shen Li leaned into Li Mu's arms. Li Mu stretched out his hand to hug her, and Shen Li rubbed his head with satisfaction.

Because of the presence of Yi Fan and Leng Zizhou, Shen Li was much thinner, and her intimate interaction with Li Mu became much less. At this time, it was rare to have time to warm up, so she naturally seized the opportunity. Li Mu patted her back with his hand and coaxed her to sleep. And he himself was thinking. Originally, with Shen Li alone, he didn't have to think about it so much, but now that he is the leader of a team of four, he has more things to think about.

It's not just about cheering everyone up so that morale doesn't drop. In addition, he also has to come up with a way to solve the problem at hand. Food is scarce and water is scarce. He had to find a way out of the grave of the four. This is what is on the surface of each other, and it is also what Li Mu must do.

But this weird tomb, weird mechanism, weird labyrinth. Everything in front of him gave Li Mu a headache. All his knowledge of the labyrinth came from Ling Jiuhao's narration and everything he had experienced. But these are not of much help to get out of the maze now.

Li Mu rubbed his brows and gasped softly. A tender hand touched it and pulled Li Mu's hand into his own. Shen Li's voice sounded, and she whispered, "Don't worry too much. ”

Li Mu let her hold it and whispered, "Nothing." ”

"Rest. Shen Li said.

"Hmm. Li Mu replied and stopped talking.

The four of them were quiet and did not make a sound, and Li Mu lay there with his eyes closed. And in his ears, there were strange sounds. There are far and near, and I don't know where the organs are operating. He sighed and ignored it.

Li Mu slept for a while, and he didn't know how long he had been asleep. But when I woke up, I was refreshed. The old exhaustion was swept away. He opened his eyes, he couldn't see clearly in the dark, he wanted to take out the firefly beads, but as soon as he moved, Shen Li woke up.

"Are you awake?" asked Shen Li.

"Well, are you awake?" Li Mu asked rhetorically.

Shen Li nodded, revealing a smile, "Not bad." ”

Li Mu stood up and moved his body, and then he waited until Yi Fan and Leng Zizhou both woke up before letting them pack up their things and prepare to continue exploring the maze. The four of them packed up their things quickly, and Yi Fan yawned and followed behind Li Mu.

Li Mu's way of exploration is still the same, that is, to carve marks all the way, destroy mechanisms all the way, and move forward like this. It's slow, but it's 100% safe. The other three knew that they didn't have much food and water, but there was no better way.

"I have a question. As he walked, Yi Fan suddenly said.

Li Mu subconsciously said, "What?"

Yi Fan paused and said, "The traps are all underground, what will happen if we destroy them all?"

"Stop. Li Mu said with a smile. He put away the thunder sword and looked at the gear in front of him that was cut in half by himself, Li Mu could only say this to Yi Fan. The direction he has chosen now is always forward. But even after walking for so long, they still haven't seen any exit. In other words, this maze exceeded Li Mu's expectations.

Li Mu led the three of them to move forward, but this time it was a little different. As soon as Li Mu stepped into another way, he realized that something was wrong. As soon as he stepped on it, the floor began to sink. This frightened Li Mu and quickly withdrew his feet. Not only that, but he reached out and stopped everyone behind him. As a result, nothing else happened here.

Li Mu raised his leg and tried again in confusion, but nothing happened. "Eh, is this place loose?" Li Mu stepped on the ground back and forth, and Yi Fan pushed him away. "What are you doing here......"

Li Mu and Yi Fan entered the passage together, and both of them stood on the sunken ground. Suddenly, a stone door fell silently, trying to separate the two sides. Li Mu and Yi Fan were quick and resisted the stone gate. "Why is this thing so heavy?" Yi Fan's face suddenly swelled, and his face turned even redder. Li Mu is the same, the weight of this stone gate is a bit too heavy.

Fortunately, Leng Zizhou's reaction was also fast, he stepped forward with an arrow and helped Li Mu share the weight with his shoulder. Li Mu was about to let them go back to the safe passage before, but as a result, the words were still on their lips, and where they passed before, the same stone gate fell. Li Mu didn't have time to stop this stone gate, so they could only see that it blocked the way.

At this time, if they turn back and close the passage through two stone doors, then they will be completely blocked inside. In this case, Li Mu also had only one choice, he said a little anxiously: "Come in, Shen Li, go behind me." ”

Shen Li was a little flustered, but Li Mu's words, she would subconsciously carry it out. So she walked straight through the three of them and came to this passage.

"Whew. Li Mu gasped, "Now, I'll count, let's withdraw together." One, two, three!" Li Mu gave an order, and the three of them retreated from the stone gate at the same time. Li Mu and Yi Fan were carrying the stone gate reflexively, so they retreated and fell to the ground together. Leng Zizhou ran forward to carry the stone gate, so he was better. He propped his hands on the ground and looked at the stone door behind him.

Shen Li pulled out his sword and tested the hardness of the stone gate. As a result, he found that his sword could only cut a shallow hole in the stone door. Li Mu saw it and frowned. "No need to try, this stone gate doesn't seem to be that simple. As he spoke, he stood up himself, but he didn't try again with the Thunder Sword. Because it's a waste of time. "Our way back has been cut off, and now we can only move forward. ”

The four of them rested for a moment and set off immediately. Not long after they walked out, another stone gate fell, sealing the way they came. Yi Fan asked strangely: "Didn't you destroy the mechanism?" Li Mu replied with some shame: "I made a mistake, I only care about destroying the mechanism on the wall and underground to prevent the passage from changing." However, I forgot that there is a mechanism on top of this, too. ”

"So what now?" Yi Fan asked.

Li Mu thought for a while, "Let's see if there is a way to find a fork in the road and leave this route." ”

Li Mu said so, but what happened next completely vetoed Li Mu's idea. Not only will the stone gate seal the road they have walked, but even if they want to change the way, there will be a stone gate to seal it. The appearance of Shimen seemed to force Li Mu to choose the established route to move forward. Li Mu also tried not to step on the mechanism that would trigger the fall of the stone gate, but to no avail. They were forced into a large room by stone doors.

In this room, there are also bronze walls, and they are covered with the words of the Wicans. The difference was that the floor of the room, like a beehive, was divided into many pieces, and their edges were glowing with a faint silver light, so they stood out. The central part of the room is relatively large, and there are different patterns carved on it.

Li Mu and the others searched around and found that every time they stepped on a piece of ground, the edge of that piece of ground would light up. "Well, that's a lot of fun. Yi Fan stepped on three or four pieces, making them brighten and extinguish in turn. Li Mu's attention was on the opposite side of this room, where there seemed to be an exit. He beckoned, "Come on, there's an exit over there!" With that, he pulled Shen Li and walked to the opposite side.

The ground under his feet lit up in turn, and Li Mu didn't go far before he saw a light coming from the exit on the opposite side. Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and stopped at his feet. The light drew nearer, and a figure stepped out of it.

This person is the yellow hood holding the firefly beads. Huang Dou came to the room and was stunned when he saw Li Mu and the others. Immediately, a palm pushed the yellow pocket open, revealing Ling Jiuhao's face. Ling Jiuhao looked at Li Mu, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes.

"I didn't expect to meet you here again, Li Mu. Ling Jiuhao was holding the sword, and there was blood dripping from the sword. This made Ling Jiuhao look murderous. "You've caused me a lot of trouble. ”
