"squeak"

"Squeak..."

The wooden floor makes a harsh sound every time it is stepped on, and feels a slight sinking feeling, giving the illusion that it will be stepped on at any time.

The room was dark and humid, the air was filled with dust and musty smell, the floors and walls had been hollowed out in many places, and the wood was loose.

There is a deer head hanging on the wall opposite the door.

The fur was preserved, and the appearance was lifelike, as if it were a specimen, but it also seemed that it had just been cut off and hung up.

There was a plate of moldy food and a cup covered with cobwebs on the dining table.

No one has lived in this house for a long time, at least no normal people have been here for a long time.

To be on the safe side, Jiang Che also checked it with the Yin Yang Eyes.

"Since there is a wooden house here, there must be clues here." Zhuge Ye analyzed.

Jiang Che asked: "So what is the clue about?"

Zhuge Ye: "It's just... you are really a bitch."

Jiang Che stood next to the window and said while looking out the window: "Our mission is to solve the trapped people, but now we can't even see a single figure. Instead, it's more like a mystery without any prompts or specific tasks.

challenge."

Zhuge Ye nodded with a wise expression, "Heroes see the same thing."

Su Xiaojin checked the room, "There is only one bed in the room, and the dust is very thick."

Jiang Che frowned, "If someone is really involved in the swamp, do you think they can survive until now?"

Su Xiaojin: "No."

Zhuge Ye: "Heroes see the same thing."

Jiang Che: "Then why does the instructor want us to come in and save people?"

Su Xiaojin's face was expressionless: "Perhaps, rescuing people is not the real mission."

"What the hero saw..." Zhuge Ye's delicate body trembled and he changed his words:

"Maybe they don't know the specific situation here? After all, only people of A-level and below can come in."

"I don't rule out this possibility, but I am more inclined to Xiaojin's statement." Jiang Che said.

Zhuge Ye: "Haha."

"But if rescuing people is really a mission, then we have to hurry up."

"Check this room carefully again, wild dog, come over and look outside." Jiang Che said.

Zhuge Ye: "Why am I the sentinel?"

Jiang Che: "Think about it for yourself why it's you."

Zhuge Ye: "Hehe, hehehe."

…

at the same time.

Daxia is a barren land.

On this piece of land, there is a deep chasm and valley dormant.

The abyss has no bottom, and a layer of mist floats at the mouth of the abyss, which sometimes ignites with colorless flames.

Under the abyss, cries of ghosts and howls of wolves are heard from time to time. Anyone with a weak mind will be seduced by the abyss and jump into it, never to recover.

But at the edge of the abyss, two rows of city walls are like giant dragons entrenched, stretching along the cliffs.

Traces of battles and the erosion of time have left mottled patches on the city wall.

But it still stands and does not fall.

This is Guilin Gate No. 03.

——Tianqian Pass.

At the highest point of Tianma Pass, there stands a stone statue more than ten meters high.

The stone statue is carved of a man with an upright posture.

He holds a chain in his hand, carries a broad sword on his back, and faces the abyss. His facial features are blurred and majestic, and he glares at the bottom of the abyss.

At this time, a figure was sitting on the shoulder of the stone statue, holding a bottle of wine in his hand and a cigarette in the corner of his mouth.

"It's been ten years. Thanks to you, we have had these ten years of stability..."

The man opened his mouth and lowered his eyes slightly.

He is the deputy master of Tianma Pass, Ning Wu, the peak king level.

Ning Wu sighed softly and said, "I want to thank you on behalf of the brothers."

Then he raised the wine bottle and poured some on the shoulders of the stone statue.

But at this moment, I suddenly felt heart palpitations!

Immediately afterwards.

"Click!"

A crack appeared in the neck of the stone statue!

Ning Wu: "What the hell?!"

"Kakaka!"

Like a chain reaction, cracks burst out one after another, covering the whole body of the stone statue!

"Boom boom boom!"

A low buzzing sound came from under the abyss. Ning Wu swallowed and shouted at a gatekeeper on duty below: "Be alert! Be alert!"

"The highest level of alert! Hurry!!!"

"Woo——!!!"

The alarm at Tianma Pass that had been silent for ten years sounded again today.

It's still harsh and long.

"The Strange Realm is in turmoil?"

"I don't know, don't ask any questions, just go up to the city wall!"

"I seem to see the stone statue is cracked."

"What?! Damn you! How could the stone statue crack?"

"Damn it, it's really cracked..."

In just a few minutes, the gatekeepers came out in full force.

On the city wall, there were crowds of people.

Ning Wu stood on the shoulders of the stone statue, glaring into the abyss, with a black knife in his hand.

"There is no mysterious atmosphere..."

"Is there no turmoil in the Strange Realm?"

"Why did the stone statue crack?"

"..."

At this moment, Guanzhu's voice sounded in Ning Wu's mind.

"They don't dare to come out yet. Let's take off their guard."

Ning Wu: "But...teacher, the stone statue is cracked."

Guanzhu: "..."

"Oh, I see."

Soon, a secret message was passed to the top officials through special means.

The content is very simple.

[The Tianmaguan stone statue is broken into pieces.]

Not long after, Zhuge Mingshi, the leader of the Zhuge clan who was in Tianfu, received a call from a senior official.

"Cracked? Collapsed?"

"Um……"

"Ten years has almost reached his limit."

"I know what to do."
