Will Pasha Rivas, Thoth, and Nunez who are looking for them answer the call and step through the mud into the depths of the mine?
"There are their footprints on the other side."
As the dust filled the air, Heinz Ellis said.
Instead of returning to the surface, the Nunes trio did go deep into the abandoned mine tunnels, but why did they do this? Was it because of some irresistible force?
At least at this moment, the seemingly nonexistent call could not shake their will. As the vibrations in the depths of the ground faded away, the mud closed in, and the weirdness was covered up in calmness.
"Are we going to find them?"
Tovani asked in a low voice. He was pessimistic about the survival of the three Nunes. It was normal. They had no reason to abandon Lu Li and his companions.
Something must have happened that made them lose their will.
"Um."
Lu Li would not give up on his companions before hearing the news of their deaths.
"We need to keep one person," Tovani suggested.
"Three of our companions are already missing. Are we going to continue to disperse?" Heinz Ellis frowned.
"People from the Bloodline Family may come down at any time. If the Earth dwellers betray us, we will have no way to escape, so we have to let them stand on our side and capture the Bloodline Family members to interrogate the information." Tovani said.
"And I can ask the earth dwellers where the mine leads."
Lu Li asked Tovani and Joshua Carvalho to stay. They were from the Giant Tree Academy and the Noble Council. They were trustworthy. He gave him eyes to use when necessary, then got into the mud and stepped onto the other side of the unfamiliar mud.
.
The abandoned mine tunnel is quiet and quiet.
Following Heinz Ellis who led the way, Lu Li and the others went deeper along the mine tunnel.
A fork in the road appeared at the edge of the oil lamp, with messy footprints lingering there.
"Is it spreading us further?" Kaiser observed the footprints. Both branches of the mine had extended footprints.
Heinz Ellis identified the footprints and analyzed the movements of the three Nunes: Pasha Rivas and Thoth walked into the same fork in the road, then retreated, entered another fork in the road, returned again, and each chose to enter a fork in the road.
After chasing Nunes, he entered the left fork and did not return.
"Let's go to the left first."
Follow Heinz Ellis into the mine on the left. After a while, a flat stone wall blocks the road ahead of them.
The footsteps they followed lingered in front of the stone wall and extended into the stone wall.
Nunes and the others entered the space behind the stone wall.
The mechanism prominently protruded from the rock wall. After receiving permission, Kaiser tried to press it. The mechanism responded and sank into the rock wall, but nothing happened.
"As expected, the other fork in the road also has the same device. It will only open if both devices press the stone wall at the same time." Heinz Ellis judged and looked at Lu Li: "Should we give up or continue."
Lu Li asked Ida to use spider webs to stick to the mechanism, but it was of no use. The mechanism would remain triggered only if they touched it.
As a forbidden land, the swamp itself is always filled with an obscure atmosphere. Just like you can't distinguish the aroma of individual rice grains in a pot of steaming porridge, they can't distinguish the smell of the mine tunnel.
It's a pity that worms cannot come to the forbidden land.
There was a brief silence before Lu Li's calm words rang out.
"continue."
What's strange is that neither Heinz Ellis nor Ida and Kaiser showed any dissatisfaction with Lu Li's decision to take the risk.
Heinz Ellis and Kaiser stayed behind, while Lu Li and Ida took a detour to another fork in the road, and Ida revealed part of the reason.
"I don't know what the upper-level colleges look like. The lower-level colleges are no different from other places. The weak eat the strong, fight and kill. The only difference is that killing is prohibited."
Lu Li was constructed into a symbol by human civilization, a symbol that symbolizes hope, light, and the future. Gu
Although some people are still pessimistic, dismissive and dismissive, for many people
Lu Li is indeed the only light.
And the reason why light is light is because it is the opposite of darkness.
Self-interested and selfish exorcists are still exorcists, but they will no longer be praised and sung.
When you reach the end of the fork on the right, a mirror-like stone wall and mechanism appear. As Ida's segmental limbs touch and press, the stone wall slowly rises, revealing an unsettling deep mine tunnel.
Lu Li and Ida stepped over the stone wall. But when they looked back, they saw that behind them was not an open passage or a slowly falling stone wall, but a rock wall of unknown thickness.
Ida's forelimb scratched across, leaving only a white mark at the impact point.
The rock wall is real...it's as if they have arrived in another space after stepping into the stone wall.
There are no mechanisms around to trigger, and they have no way out.
Just in case, Lu Li summoned the businessman Anthony and conveyed a message to Claire asking for help: "I am digging a mining area in the northern part of the swamp. Three companions are missing and we are also trapped in the mine tunnel.", and then continued to move forward.
Unexpectedly, some distance along the mine road, they met Heinz Ellis and Kaiser on another branch of the road.
They suffered the same fate: they disappeared as they stepped onto the road behind the stone wall.
The mine tunnel that also joined them extends deep. As they continue to move forward, new forks appear.
This time there are three.
The complex footprints are divided into three parts and extend into three deep mine tunnels.
"Whatever it is, it's dividing us." Heinz Ellis couldn't suppress his inner irritation.
There is no doubt that they have become prey, trapped in some kind of existential trap.
What's worse is that they have no way out but to keep moving forward.
They may meet the Nunes trio at the next fork in the road. They may also continue to move forward until the number of people is less than the fork in the road, unable to trigger the mechanism and being trapped here forever.
"Are you still taking risks?" Lu Li asked his companions for their opinions.
At any time, his calmness and reason can protect those around him from being wrapped up in irritability and despair.
"Continue, we have no other choice. Either find Nunes and the others, or end up like them!"
However, they still blindly trust that Lu Li is fine.
Ida firmly followed Lu Li, while Heinz Ellis and Kaiser entered the mine respectively.
After triggering the mechanisms in the three mines, the stone wall rose again. As you stepped into it, you turned into a strange rock wall behind you.
But this time, the footprints of the three Nunes who were guiding the direction disappeared.
It was as if they were staying in the previous mine tunnel and Lu Li passed by them.
In any case, the scattered people could only move forward along the mine tunnel and then meet up again.
The endless mine tunnel forced them to move forward. After a certain distance, the mine tunnel ahead split into four forked roads without any accident.
"Will Ken, can you feel anything?" Lu Li thought.
"I feel very strange here... I don't know how to describe it... Keep moving forward, maybe we will find the answer..." Will Ken answered slowly.
The four people who reunited briefly dispersed again, entered their respective mine tunnels like their destinations, and triggered the mechanism to reach a new space.
This time, the extended mine tunnels did not merge.
At this time, the tremors deep in the ground surfaced again.
