Chapter two

Although, in this huge underground building, almost all the corridors have the same appearance, the same width and height, and the same lack of extraneous decorations. Even the red handprints that appear densely on the walls on both sides and overhead are no different.

But halfway through, Mei Qian still keenly felt that something was wrong.

Because this road is too long.

According to his memory, they should have turned a corner long ago, or even reached the pool, but the corridor in front of them was still going straight.

In other words, the corridor they are currently in has changed.

Agency? At this moment, Mei Qian couldn't help but remember that when he came in, he had heard the sound of Maomao and others talking in this corridor, and thought of the encounter Maomao had just told.

It has been determined that the underground labyrinth they are in contains complex mechanisms that are still functioning today.

The purpose is probably to confuse people who enter under the control of lightning and prevent the "sacrifice" from escaping.

It makes sense to think about it. The ancients who built this place could even make "electric doors", so there is no reason why they should not make arrangements in the underground building.

After learning this situation, the faces of Maomao's two companions changed dramatically, and their expressions were extremely frightened.

As for Maomao, she, Zhang Yu and Ning Chi set their sights on Mei Qian.

Well, the three of them were very calm. It seemed that as long as Mei Qian was there, there was no need to worry about not being able to get out.

It's really ironic.

There were a total of six people present, three of whom were from the archeology department of a prestigious university. Except for Maomao who was an assistant, the other two are currently engaged in archeology-related work.

However, Mei Qian, a writer, has become a veteran in tomb robbing adventures in the eyes of those who are familiar with him...

However, at this time, Mei Qian was not in the mood to complain. He concentrated on living up to expectations and began to patrol the corridor very carefully.

Everyone followed him step by step, not daring to make any unnecessary movements, not even daring to take a breath.

One is the fear of accidentally touching some mechanism and putting everyone in danger.

Er was also afraid of disturbing Mei Qian's train of thought by speaking out rashly.

For a long time, the corridor was quiet, and no one spoke at all except for the sound of footsteps.

However, they watched Mei Qian tapping here and there on the wall, and finally put her ear against the wall, motionless.

After a long time, he finally sighed and said: "This mechanism is too complicated, and we don't have the tools to destroy it, so..." At this point, he even spread his hands to everyone.

"It's hard, can't we get out too?" Ning Chi stuttered.

As soon as these words came out, Maomao and Zhang Yu didn't react much, but Duan Yunxin and Liang Qian almost collapsed on the ground, their eyes full of despair.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand the principle of the mechanism." Mei Qian glared at his younger brother angrily: "It's just an underground maze. It only takes some time at most. How can you not get out?"

"That's right. Besides, we have foreign aid." Zhang Yu responded promptly: "My colleague is waiting outside. If we don't go out when it gets dark, he will go down the mountain to find someone for help. When the large army comes, the roof of any maze will be torn down.

Already."

"It's not that troublesome, just follow me." Mei Qian smiled, then slapped Ning Chi hard on the shoulder: "Look at your little face, don't tell me that you are messing with me when you go out." After that, he took the lead and strode like stars.

Walk towards the deepest part of the corridor.

Ning Chi: "..." Brother, you said it was too scary, okay?

Needless to say, after such a small episode, a lot of the fear and worry in everyone's hearts dissipated.

Indeed, Yi Meiqian's current ability, although he understands some of the principles of underground institutions, is not enough to crack it.

Because he heard the sound of underground flow, the entire maze was changing all the time depending on the flow of underground water veins.

If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that he would have collapsed long ago during the long process of finding the way.

But Mei Qian's way of finding a way is not just about running around randomly.

Even if there are some twists and turns, he is completely confident that he can lead everyone to find a way out.

Now that Maomao has found everything, the things that inexplicably attract him are no longer important.

Well, for the sake of his own life, he was neither in the mood nor motivated to explore.

Next, just rely on crisis awareness and stay away from the source of danger... ok...

At this time, they had walked out of the long corridor and appeared in a stone room.

The layout here is no different from the previous circular stone chamber. There are already dozens of dark holes lined up on the walls, leading to nowhere.

Correct

"There are marks we left here." Duan Yunxin and Liang Gan carefully inspected the stone chamber, pointed to the marks on the wall and said, "We have been here before, are we going to find an unmarked path next?"

"Since changes are happening here at any time, the marks are meaningless." Zhang Yu shook his head, then looked at Mei Qian, intending to ask for his opinion.

But what surprised him was that Mei Qian, who had been so confident before, was now stunned on the spot as if he had lost his soul.

Maomao and Ning Chi were so close that they could clearly see the fine cold sweat left on each other's heads and faces.

Everyone suddenly felt something bad...

Fortunately, Mei Qian recovered quickly and led everyone into another corridor seemingly casually.

Although no one said anything, everyone found that something was wrong with Mei Qian's state. He was gradually falling to the end of the team. He was much more silent than before, and he always looked worried.

In the end, Zhang Yu couldn't hold it back and leaned over to ask, "What happened to make you so haunted?"

He deliberately avoided other people, and his voice was so low that he might not even be able to hear him clearly.

Mei Qian sighed first, and then replied in a lower voice: "We may be in big trouble. If there is an accident later, take them and run away."

"Run?" Zhang Yu was about to ask again, but he heard Mei Qian say: "I can't tell for the moment, but I feel very bad now." After that, he walked around him and walked to the front.

Zhang Yu frowned deeply, stood there and took out the pistol, checked the chamber again, and then followed.

After that, the group of them passed through two more corridors. They neither entered a dead end nor were attacked by those weird human skins before. They didn't even see a bug. The journey was safe and nothing happened that Zhang Yu was worried about. .

However, when this corridor is about to come to an end.

Mei Qian, whom he had been paying attention to, actually had the Tang sword in his hand unsheathed.

With worries, they came to a wider underground space.

This is a very unfamiliar huge stone room.

What appears around is no longer the stalagmites and stone pillars in the cave, nor the densely packed cave entrances around the stone chamber before. Instead, there are many traces left by ancient civilizations.

For example: there are simple stone lamps on both sides of the road, carved with dragon patterns, huge columns supporting the dome, and a tall altar not far away.

Of course, no one had any intention of appreciating these ancient masterpieces at this time.

Although they did not understand the conversation between Mei Qian and Zhang Yu just now, they could feel the tension and depression in the atmosphere.

Everyone unconsciously heightened their vigilance.

In this situation, Mei Qian suddenly yelled: "Run..."

------Digression-----

There will be more in the afternoon...
