The metaphor of the sewer in front is obviously very apt. This passage that leads all the way to a deeper place does not suddenly open up as it progresses.
On the contrary, many places have become even narrower and can only be passed by one person. The passage itself is dilapidated and old, with no special traces visible.
In such a survival environment, a group of people were forced to form a real snake formation, marching silently in silence.
The only comforting thing may be that although this passage that seems to lead to hell is twists and turns, there are no forks in it.
After eliminating the difficulty of decision-making, you can go on numbly all the way.
And paying Qian is naturally the last thing to do.
Of course he would not refuse Sha Ming's invitation.
Although I don't really believe what Sha Ming said about Huang Zhixun, this unpleasant depth obviously seems to be closer to the source of everything.
The victory of the scientific examination is right in front of you, how can you miss it easily?
Even after traveling all the way up to now, the passage that others thought was extremely depressing has gained a little bit.
At first glance, the layout of the passages is undoubtedly quite unusual.
Although it is full of ancient ruins that have been rediscovered, it is difficult to imagine that any passage or sewer would be built like this over and over again.
In contrast, when walking inside, what Fu Qian thought of was those special space entrances that he had come into contact with more than once.
Such as the mermaid hideout, such as the workshop.
The passage in front of you gives people a vague feeling, and its own direction seems to represent the essence of a certain world.
With this level of understanding, as we follow it deeper, we feel more and more like there is a point of no return.
"How long do we have to go?"
Of course, even if the team members do not feel this way, it is impossible to force them to maintain a good mentality in such an environment.
Mr. Huang's encouragement did not last long, and soon some people began to be unable to bear the endless torture and refused to move on.
And the person he questioned was surprisingly Sha Ming, who seemed to know more.
As if to match what Mr. Huang Leji said before, Sha Ming deliberately walked in the middle of the team, as if he could lend a helping hand to the vanguard members at any time.
Although I haven't done anything yet.
"It won't take long. Just turn around and continue down."
Facing the stopped team, Sha Ming did not express any obvious dissatisfaction, but explained patiently while observing his surroundings.
"real?"
He never expected that he would get such a clear answer. Even Mr. Huang couldn't completely calm down his emotions for a while.
"Of course, if you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Xunzhe."
Sha Ming smiled strangely and gestured towards Fu Qian as he spoke.
"OK."
However, what he didn't expect was that the person involved was the first to respond to him.
Nodding slightly, Fu Qian turned around naturally and looked at the wall at hand.
"The san value is reduced by 1."
Facing Brother Sanxun's voice coming from the wall, he nodded slightly in greeting.
"Is it right when you turn around?"
…
It's hard to tell whether it was a pure coincidence or deliberate. The timing of Brother Sanxun's appearance this time was very clever.
So much so that Fu Qian accepted Sha Ming's suggestion and sought advice from true followers.
Faced with this strange development, not only Huang Leji and his team, but also the genuine third follower, were stunned for a moment.
"You can indeed think so."
"Once you get there, you really don't need to continue."
However, he didn't seem to want to lose his momentum in front of Fu Qian. Brother Sanxun soon responded, and even gave an answer that was surprisingly consistent with Sha Ming's.
"That's exactly what it sounds like."
In line with the spirit of employing people without suspicion, Fu Qian also turned around and conveyed this statement very naturally.
"...let's go."
Facing the increasingly difficult to control behavior of Du Qian and Sha Ming, Mr. Huang Leji's inner struggle is undoubtedly quite fierce.
It's a pity that even as experienced as he is, other than continuing the previous strategy of intimidating with numbers, he couldn't think of a better plan for the time being.
The end result was that after hesitating for a moment, the man gritted his teeth and motioned for everyone else to follow him forward, not even paying attention to whether the two people in front of him were following him, trying to show the least offending attitude.
"Thanks."
Unfortunately, Fu Qian was obviously not interested in understanding this sentiment. Instead, he nodded again and politely thanked Brother Sanxun who had not yet disappeared.
"The san value is reduced by 1."
"The san value is reduced by 1."
He responded with two crisp mantras, and Brother Sanxun also left again.
…
"You are really an unusual character."
But until this moment, Sha Ming still didn't catch up. Even after watching the whole process of Fu Qian's shameless questioning, he made a comment that sounded very meaningful.
"Even I can't figure out what the purpose of your appearance here is."
"But one thing is obvious, you have no idea what the title Xunzhe means."
It seemed that due to the influence of Fu Qian's unrestrained behavior, Sha Ming's words sounded increasingly larger and larger.
"Oh? So what does it represent?"
He still has the demeanor of a worldly master, and Fu Qian doesn't care about such comments.
"Haha... let them tell you on their own. Don't keep Huang Leji and others waiting now."
Unfortunately, at the critical juncture, Sha Ming once again betrayed himself and finally followed with a sneer.
They? It sounds like Brother Sha Ming not only knows what the followers are, but he also doesn't belong to that group.
For such behavior, Fu Qian thought about Sha Ming's words, but still had no blame at all.
Because what he said was absolutely fine, just for a moment, Mr. Huang and the others were already impatient.
"What's going on-"
"impossible--"
"Don't move, everyone stand still -"
Amid the exclamations, Fu Qian lowered his head and looked at more than one wound appearing rapidly on his body, and once again followed as the last one.
…
The last section of the road that Sha Ming and I mentioned was even steeper and much longer than the first place we came down.
But precisely in this way, it has a sense of the end of the journey, which makes people less suspicious.
At this time, the team members, under the command of Mr. Huang Leji, had already rushed out a short distance.
At the same time, the last call just now clearly had an effect. Everyone's feet seemed to be rooted in place, motionless.
Even though Sha Ming and Fu Qian arrived one after another, they just turned their heads and looked over.
"What on earth is going on? Why do you get hurt when you walk in a downward direction?"
Staring at Sha Ming, Huang Leji, who was the first to speak, already had sadness and anger in his tone.
"Is there a problem? Don't you have to leave now?"
Unfortunately, Sha Ming just laughed and asked as he followed up step by step.
