This underground passage is very wide, and the ground is paved with red floor tiles, which seem to be made of stacked scales of different sizes. Every five meters or so, two lighting stones are inlaid in the walls on both sides, which just illuminate the entire passage.
Bright.
The passage has no end at a glance, and I don't know where it leads.
Suddenly, a soft sound of footsteps broke the silence in the passage.
I saw four figures in black robes suddenly appearing in the passage. They said nothing along the way and seemed quite vigilant.
It is worth mentioning that these men in black robes seemed to be divided into two waves, with three of them walking at the front, and the other deliberately slowing down his pace, keeping a distance from the three, and walking cautiously at the back.
Although Bai Mo didn't look back, he seemed to be able to see the movements of the guy behind him, and said with a faint smile: "Stop hiding, you killed the boss of these people. We are now on the same pirate ship. Hide
It’s useless from behind.”
"Keep your voice down!"
Hearing this, the talisman stall owner suddenly became nervous and whispered quickly, "You don't want your life! Listening to those guys, they obviously have other accomplices. Aren't you afraid of attracting people by talking so loudly?
"
He looked around, and then said with a guilty conscience: "Also, I was just forced to help you, I was not the one who killed..."
"Is there any difference? If you really encounter those people's accomplices, your fate will not be any better than ours." Bai Mo shook his head and said seriously, "Also, your voice just now was louder than mine."
Yes, in the recent battle, under Bai Mo's coercion and inducement, the charm stall owner weighed it carefully and finally chose to take action against the second brother of the man in black.
It is worth mentioning that he is actually a spell master, and his attainments are quite good. He has a large number of strange and strange spells in his hands. It is no wonder that he can create so many fake spells that look like the real ones.
The talisman master's entire strength lies in his talismans. Although he is suspected of paddling, he did help Bai Mo contain his second brother, making him constrained everywhere. Even using his fire ability was of no avail, and he had to die unwillingly in the end.
However, what was difficult for him to accept was that once the tunnel exit was closed, it could not be opened. It seemed to contain a strange power and could not be opened by brute force.
The stall owner was reluctant and took out many talismans to try, but none of them were successful. In the end, he had to give up. He once again greeted Bai Mo's eighteen generations of ancestors countless times in his heart.
In desperation, he had no choice but to follow Bai Mo and others deep into the tunnel, trying to find a way to leave.
"But then again, I've done everything you asked for, so you should tell me how to get rid of that thing, right?" the stall owner said angrily.
He did not directly point out that 'that thing' was a false authentication, for fear that someone might secretly hear that he had a forbidden sequence in his hand, so he was very careful.
"Don't worry, I'm not sure whether you can leave here alive." Bai Mo said lightly, with a smile hidden in his voice.
"What do you mean?" The stall owner was shocked and quickly reached into his arms to touch a charm, "Do you want to burn down the bridge?"
Ha, I knew this guy was really planning on taboo sequences!
Bai Mo ignored him, but looked at the grass tips on the passage wall that were about to emerge from the stone wall, with a thoughtful look on his face.
At this moment, Zhang Rouzhu suddenly asked in a low voice: "Listening to what those guys said just now, there are probably some of their people in the tunnel. What should I do if I encounter them later?"
This is also Zhang Tao's worry.
"It's okay, haven't we already put on their black robes? As long as we hide our identity, no one will be able to recognize us later." Bai Mo said casually.
Zhang Rouzhu was stunned, looked at the passage as bright as day, and asked hesitantly: "Are you...are you really sure that this is a waste of time?"
Bai Mo smiled mysteriously and said, "Here I'm going to mention a technique for using the illuminated stone."
"What technique?" Zhang Tao and the two were a little curious.
Although the talisman stall owner behind him pretended not to care, he secretly pricked up his ears.
"I see that you have used lighting stones before, so you should also know that lighting stones, like electric lights, have switches."
"Um."
Zhang Rouzhu nodded. Although the lighting stone is cheap, it is indeed a strange thing. The so-called switch is actually a small depression on the lighting stone. You can "light up" or "turn off" it by touching it with your finger for three seconds.
It is worth mentioning that only the fingers of a living person can change the lighting of the lighting stone. Neither humans nor dead people can affect the light and dark of the lighting stone——
This seems to be a torch left specifically for humans, and sometimes it can also be used to identify people.
Bai Mo was silent for a while, seeming to be lost in some kind of memory, and then said: "Just like an electric light can be controlled by a switch and a main power switch at the same time, there is actually a main switch in Illuminating Stone."
"Master switch..."
Zhang Rouzhu was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to react, and said in shock: "You mean, you know how to control the light and dark of all lighting stones at the same time?"
Before she finished speaking, the talisman stall owner's sneer came from behind her: "Just listen to this guy's bragging. These words are not as real as the fake talisman I drew."
"Haha, I drew a fake charm but I still have the nerve to say it. I'm really not ashamed."
Zhang Rouzhu glanced at him angrily, then looked at Bai Mo and said in a gentle tone, "What is that technique?"
"The technique is very simple, but you can't use it for the time being. Unless one day you become as powerful as me, then you will have the opportunity to try this technique." Bai Mo said.
"If I say it, I haven't said it yet. I can still say that I know how to make rare treasures."
The stall owner kept sneering, and then said angrily, "Look, I just said this guy is bragging, right?"
"Shut up!" Zhang Rouzhu said with a cold face.
The stall owner was stunned for a moment, then became a little angry.
What is your status? What is my status? How dare you talk to me like this?!
Zhang Tao looked at his sister and his expression became strange for no reason.
"Don't worry. If you meet someone later, you must stay calm and don't make any noise. I will handle everything. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Brother and sister Zhang Tao nodded quickly.
After all, it seems they can't do anything...
The stall owner was dismissive and said with resentment: "I guess only you two fools will believe him. Anyway, I don't..."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Mo suddenly stopped and stood there and turned to look at him.
The stall owner felt nervous, thinking that this guy was angry and wanted to do something, so he watched out for purple vines sprouting under his feet and asked warily: "What do you want to do?"
"I've actually seen it a long time ago." Bai Mo said.
"What do you see?"
"You are not a man."
As soon as these words came out, the entire passage fell silent instantly.
How is it possible?
The stall owner's heart was filled with turmoil.
Not only did she deliberately change her body shape and use spells to make her voice thick and hoarse, but she also deliberately controlled her speaking habits so that she couldn't hear the tone that a woman should have, in order not to encounter what just happened. ——
And this is actually the main reason why she just helped Bai Mo.
If Bai Mo loses and those guys succeed, her fate will not be much better if her true identity is discovered.
She never wanted to hear that disgusting laughter again in her life.
While thinking, she suddenly noticed a gaze falling on her.
It's the woman who's holding me back.
At this time, the other party seemed to be hesitant, and his tone was full of disbelief: "You...are a transvestite?"
Stall owner: "?"
Bai Mo: "?"
Zhang Tao: "?"
What a shemale!
The stall owner didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but I have to say that this speculation does not seem impossible...
Just as the stall owner spoke out to explain, Bai Mo in front suddenly said: "Don't say anything, someone is coming."
Where did they come from?
The three of them were stunned. There was no one in the entire passage, but even though they couldn't see anyone, they still kept their mouths shut.
As expected, footsteps were heard not long after. The speed of this group of people seemed to be very fast. As soon as everyone heard the footsteps, they were already walking in front of a few people.
The atmosphere instantly became depressing.
If you bump into your face like this, you will definitely be discovered...
Just when the hearts of Zhang Tao and others were high, the bright passage suddenly turned dark, and all the illuminating stones "went out" at the same time.
The stall owner subconsciously thought of Bai Mo's previous words and froze on the spot.
Really, it’s actually true...
This guy can actually control the light and dark of the stone!
Not only her, but the man in black who had just arrived was also shocked. This situation was unprecedented. They thought it was a powerful foreign enemy invading, and they immediately became vigilant.
Everyone did not know that at this moment, the lighting stones around Wuji City suddenly lost their light, and no matter what they did, they could not light up again, as if they had turned into an ordinary stone.
As a result, the same thought came to most people's minds -
Could this thing also run out of battery?
After a brief commotion, a faint light suddenly lit up in the dark tunnel, and someone lit a candle.
Bai Mo could see at night, so he had already seen five people standing in front of him. They were dressed exactly the same as the previous guys. They were obviously the same group.
Perhaps seeing Bai Mo and the others wearing the black robes of the previous ones, the leader in the candlelight breathed a sigh of relief and walked straight over with the candle in hand.
Seeing this, Zhang Tao's brother and sister and the talisman stall owner were all excited and lowered their heads slightly.
However, at this moment, a bizarre scene happened. They saw Bai Mo in front of them blowing out the candle in each other's hands in one breath.
The passage fell into darkness again.
After a brief moment of sluggishness, Sun Yan's mouth twitched, he lit the candle again, looked at the man in black robe in front of him and asked: "What do you want to do..."
"call--"
Before he finished speaking, the candle was blown out again.
"No, I asked you what happened..."
Sun Yan tried to light the candle again, but this time the flame was blown out again before it even started.
This scene made everyone dumbfounded, including Zhang Tao's brother and sister and the talisman stall owner.
Especially the latter, she really wanted to ask, is this guy's method of concealing his identity so straightforward...
"You have such a loud voice..."
Sun Yan took a deep breath and sneered, "Why, you went out for a trip, and you still don't want to see anyone?"
"Can't turn on the lights!"
At this moment, a frightened voice suddenly sounded in the passage, as if he had seen a ghost, full of emotion, and frightened everyone.
Zhang Tao and Zhang Rouzhu looked more like they had seen a ghost——
Isn't this the voice of the dead second brother?
However, they could tell that the sound came from Bai Mo's mouth in front.
"Does this guy have the ability to change his voice?" The stall owner looked strange, "He's so damn versatile..."
Hearing such a frightened voice, Sun Yan's expression suddenly became solemn: "Second brother, what's going on? Why did you come back with so many people?"
"Suddenly, there were forbidden creatures raging outside, and everyone died..." Bai Mo pretended to be frightened, "That was at least a B-level monster, and we couldn't resist it at all!"
Sun Yan raised his eyebrows: "It shouldn't be dark yet, so how come there are forbidden creatures appearing, or are they B-level forbidden creatures?"
Bai Mo suppressed his fear and snorted coldly: "If you don't believe me, you can go out and have a look!"
Sun Yan stopped talking for a moment...but the other party had no need to lie to him.
After thinking for a while, he asked again: "What does this have to do with you blowing out my candle?"
"That monster feeds on light, and the light that illuminates the stone is eaten by it. If you light a candle again, it will find you!" Bai Mo said in horror.
"Feeding on light...are you kidding me?"
Everyone was stunned. Is there a monster in the world that can eat light?
"I don't know... I just saw that wherever the monster passed by, it became dark, and when it opened its mouth, it made a large area of light disappear, so I made such a guess."
Bai Mo said with lingering fear, "If we hadn't run fast, you might not be able to see me now."
Sun Yan felt heavy and suddenly said strangely: "That's not right... Your kid is usually very crazy, isn't it? Why are you so weak today?"
Zhang Tao and others' hearts tightened. Could it be that this guy saw something wrong?
However, Bai Mo didn't panic. He sneered and retorted: "If it were you who went out, I'm afraid your courage would be broken. It's not sure whether you can come back alive."
Since business was important, Sun Yan did not argue and asked in a deep voice: "You guys ran so fast, did you remember to close the entrance?"
"certainly."
Seeing the "second child" swearing, Sun Yan looked suspicious: "Then why did the Zhaoshi suddenly darken?"
"I don't know, I don't even know how that monster appeared."
Bai Mo said with a nose and an eye, and said worriedly, "But if that monster really runs in, then everyone will be doomed."
As soon as these words came out, the people behind Sun Yan suddenly started talking in low voices, seeming a little worried.
"This matter is very serious. We have to go back and tell eldest sister immediately." Sun Yan thought, obviously believing Bai Mo's words.
"That's what I think. For safety reasons, I suggest not to make light."
"No problem, it's just one path anyway, just follow the wall."
Sun Yan seemed to be a very nervous person and did not notice anything unusual about Bai Mo and others.
So everyone quickly walked deeper along the passage.
And during this process, Bai Mo was not idle either. He silently took out the insulation note he had obtained from the stall owner before and secretly started things.
Time passed quietly, and this passage seemed extremely long.
Suddenly, purple vines emerged from a person's feet. Under the double cover of darkness and sound insulation, they silently took away the person's life——
Sun Yan held up his waist with one hand and supported the wall with the other. No one noticed anything strange.
