I don't know if it's because of the special structure of this place, or the water in the corridor that blocks the sound. As a result, Mei Qian can vaguely hear some noises now. Although it looks like a lake and the distance should be very far, he can vaguely tell that someone is there.
Talk in a low voice.
Apart from him, the only people who were underground during this period were Maomao and others.
He couldn't help but feel refreshed and quickened his pace.
Unfortunately, after walking for a while, the sounds heard in my ears disappeared again.
This didn't surprise him at all.
Based on the analysis of the existence of so many passages in the circular stone chamber before, it is not clear whether this place is an ancient altar like the underground of Xiadu, but the path is complicated and it is certain that it is like a large maze.
Therefore, without any hesitation in his steps, he quickly walked out of the corridor.
Immediately, another round stone room appeared in front of him.
The layout of this stone room was basically the same as the previous one. If it weren't for the fact that there was no water on the ground and instead there was a corpse lying on it, Mei Qianzhen would have almost thought that he had turned back again.
"It's really a maze."
This time he did not leave a mark at the exit, but squatted down and carefully observed the corpse wearing ancient armor at his feet.
"First Evolution"
The corpse was lying prone on the ground. The fish scales on its body were rusty and tattered, and many of the clips had completely fallen off, revealing the black and yellow bones underneath.
"Huh?" He suddenly let out a soft cry, and with a clever move of the dagger in his hand, he overturned the whole body.
Suddenly, a completely black sheathed Tang sword appeared in front of him.
Mei Qian picked it up, but it felt unexpectedly heavy in her hand, and quickly pulled out the knife.
There was a pleasant sound, and the long sword was unsheathed. Looking with his night eyes, he could clearly see the cold light flashing in the air.
It's such a good knife. He raised his eyebrows and stroked the engraved "Mingquan" on the handle, feeling delighted.
The Hanxing Sword he got from the lottery was good, but it was too heavy and too conspicuous to carry. I had long wanted to find a weapon with a more convenient handle, but I didn't expect to find it now.
The sword danced in mid-air again, and then the Mingquan sword was sheathed.
He lowered his head and glanced at the corpse that presented the weapon, silently expressed his offence, and with a wave of his hand, all the bones on the ground and the armor disappeared.
Now that he has received benefits, he can no longer let him lie here alone. It is better to take him out and bury him in peace.
However, just as he put the corpse into the system warehouse, his expression suddenly changed. He turned around and looked strangely. After thinking about it, he pulled out the Mingquan knife again, and then ducked into the hole closest to him.
He pressed his body against the wall and stared straight at the corridor he just passed.
Not long after, two bright lights entered the stone chamber.
"There are so many entrances again, look for the signs quickly..." This voice is very familiar.
Mei Qian immediately emerged from the darkness with a knife in hand. Looking at the two people who were all wet and obviously disturbed by his footsteps, he said in an unexpected tone: "Didn't I ask you to wait outside? Why did you follow me in?"
As he spoke, he slowly sheathed the knife.
Yes, it was Zhang Yu and Ning Chi who appeared behind him.
Zhang Yu put down the muzzle of the gun and explained: "It's thundering outside, I'm afraid something might happen to you."
Ning Chi said: "I came in with him."
"Just you two? Where's Li Chen?" Mei Qian asked.
"Well, I asked him to stay outside." Zhang Yu nodded, and then told what happened during the previous thunder.
When he heard the thunder, Li Chen seemed to be possessed by a demon, while Zhang Yu and Ning Chi only felt a little dizzy but remained rational. Mei Qian couldn't help but frown, having some thoughts in his mind, but he didn't say them out.
And when Zhang Yu speculated that the guide in Maomao's team was suspicious, he nodded with deep sympathy.
"It seems that you are not affected either." After saying that, Zhang Yu looked at Mei Qian again and asked doubtfully: "How can you go so far without lighting tools?"
The latter took out his mobile phone, shook it, and said with a smile: "Maomao must be here, he came in without thinking much. Isn't there a mobile phone here!"
"You are really brave for a skilled artist." Zhang Yu sighed and asked again: "We saw drag marks when we first came down. Do you think they were left by Maomao?"
Mei Qian's smile faded: "80% yes, it's just that the traces disappeared in the middle. I don't know where she was taken."
Judging from the text messages that Maomao could send, she was probably awake when the thunder struck. Perhaps her companions were "possessed" and dragged her underground...
"Forget it, let's keep looking." Mei Qian didn't want to think too much at this time. No matter how big the place was, he was sure to find Maomao's whereabouts. Let's wait until he finds the person.
Ning Chi pointed at the more than ten cave entrances around the stone chamber and said at a loss: "There are so many roads, which one should we take?"
"It depends on your own consciousness." Mei Qian replied calmly, and after that, he started to circle around the stone chamber, pausing for a moment when passing each cave entrance, as if he was looking inside with the help of the headlights of the two people behind him.
environment. In fact, after arriving here, his sense of danger was still strong, and he was looking for the most suitable route for Zhang Yu and Zhang Yu.
The original plan was to separate from Zhang Yu and the others for the convenience of searching for people. Of course, we had to find a safe place for them.
But every cave entrance here actually gave him a creepy feeling, indicating that there was no safe passage.
It seems that only three people can face the risk together.
He looked back at the other two people, intending to send them back, but he swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips.
He knew that since they had all come in, Zhang Yu and Ning Chi would never leave him alone underground in this situation.
After pondering for a moment, he found the corridor that looked most pleasing to the eye and walked in first.
"I think the layout here looks familiar." Zhang Yu followed Mei Qian and whispered, "Do you feel this way?"
"No." Mei Qian shook his head directly.
Zhang Yu laughed dryly and looked at the scabbard in his hand: "Where did you get the Tang Dao? It can't be an antique here, right?"
"I picked it up outside." Mei Qian looked at him sideways and asked, "Does this look like an ancient tomb to you? Where did the antique come from?"
Zhang Yu still refused to give up and asked again: "When we swam over just now, we saw a lot of corpses, neatly cut up. What did you do?"
"Yeah!" Mei Qian clenched the scabbard impatiently: "It's the corpse you saw that almost made me drown."
"You mean..." Zhang Yu's eyes widened and he couldn't help but think of the bizarre experience underground in Xiadu.
Mei Qian's eyebrows trembled, and he drew the knife out of its sheath. The sharp blade shone coldly under the light of the headlight, and asked in a serious tone: "Are you sure that only the two of you came in?"
"Of course!" Zhang Yu turned to look at Ning Chi, who was looking at the corridor wall tiles with interest, and then turned to Mei Qian. He didn't know why he asked this, and couldn't help but frown: "I specifically asked Li Chen to let him leave the stone man.
Stay far away from the ditch. No matter what happens, don't get close." "That's good!" Mei Qian suddenly turned around, a cold light flashed, and the Tang Dao in his hand came out, heading directly towards the darkness behind the three of them.
Shoot away.
His actions really shocked the other two people. Zhang Yu couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise, but as soon as the cry came out, they heard a scream that was even sharper and harsher, not like a human being at all.
"I just feel like my steps are wrong..." Mei Qian smiled coldly and strode towards the direction where the howl came from.
Zhang Yu and Ning Chi hurriedly followed, but when the three of them returned to the entrance of the corridor, they saw the Tang sword stuck diagonally on the ground, and no other suspicious people were found.
"Strange, didn't it hit? Who could it be?" Zhang Yu couldn't help but ask.
