Looking back, he saw a figure not far away walking slowly towards him.
"Jiang Zhiyu..."
Su Mu frowned slightly, but he didn't expect Jiang Zhiyu to have arrived at this place...
Although I didn't encounter any obstacles from monsters or monsters when I came out of the monster market, it was very difficult for others, and it was even more difficult for players who were not strong enough to move forward.
But Jiang Zhiyu appeared here alone.
Damn...is she as awesome as me?
"..."
Su Mu finally realized that Jiang Zhiyu was no longer the Jiang Zhiyu before, let alone a newbie. There was probably a secret behind her now that even Su Mu didn't know about, or even couldn't touch.
Jiang Zhiyu walked to the edge of the cave with an indifferent expression, then looked at Su Mu, who was still in a daze, and said, "Form a team?"
"Uh... hmm? You want to go in?" As soon as Su Mu said this, he realized that he had said nonsense.
If Jiang Zhiyu didn't plan to go in, why would he come here?
Jiang Zhiyu lifted the black hair from his forehead and didn't answer, just nodded.
"I don't know what's inside. It may be dangerous, and there may even be monsters carrying infiltration attacks." Su Mu tried to dissuade Jiang Zhiyu.
However, Jiang Zhiyu said indifferently: "So what?"
Su Mu: "..."
"Then why did you go in again?" Jiang Zhiyu asked.
Su Mu: "I like black holes. When I see a hole, I want to go in. Is that okay?"
Jiang Zhiyu: "Let's form a team, I'm afraid you'll die in there."
"..."
Jiang Zhiyu walked towards the cave, then looked back at Su Mu and said in a cold voice: "So, can you get in or not?"
Su Mu: "Can I go in?"
Jiang Zhiyu: "Don't you want to come in? Hurry up."
"Then I'm coming in."
"You come in..."
"I'm coming Ang."
"hurry up……"
…
So, Su Mu, who originally thought he was alone this time, finally teamed up with Jiang Zhiyu who suddenly appeared, and set off towards the depths of the cave together.
This is the first time the two of them have teamed up, and it might be the last time they team up.
Su Mu couldn't describe this feeling.
…
As they went deeper and deeper into the cave, the surrounding light became darker and darker, until finally the two of them could only rely on some skills to illuminate the stone steps under their feet, while the surroundings were pitch black.
"Be careful, the steps here are broken, jump over."
Su Mu, who was walking in front, reminded.
Continuing to go deeper, it becomes darker and darker, and the night sky above the head has become only the size of a palm. The darkness at this time has begun to swallow up the light emitted by the skills.
The two of them were struggling, walking on thin ice.
In this case, the system prompt did not appear, and it seemed that we were going to keep walking, towards the unknown underground world, until hell...
…
The light was already very dim, and even the stone steps could not be fully illuminated.
At this time, Jiang Zhiyu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Will we die here?"
Su Mu: "..., no way."
Jiang Zhiyu: "Are you so sure?"
"At least I won't let you die here."
"..."
Unconsciously, Su Mu held Jiang Zhiyu's hand tightly.
But Su Mu didn't think about anything else now, just to prevent accidents from happening. The two people couldn't see each other, so they could only move forward in this way.
I don’t know how long it took and how many steps I walked, but the night sky above my head had disappeared and was completely swallowed up by darkness.
At this time, Jiang Zhiyu asked again: "Is this an infiltration incident?"
"Do you know about the infiltration incident?" Su Mu asked back.
Jiang Zhiyu chuckled surprisingly, "I'm not stupid, and I can get a lot of information easily. Even if it's information that the empire deliberately suppresses, I know it."
"So, you don't have to hide many things from me, because I know them all."
Su Mu was stunned for a moment, and secretly marveled at the strength behind Jiang Zhiyu.
After the showdown, although Jiang Zhiyu's voice was still a little cold, he obviously became more talkative, "Can I ask you a question?"
"You let go, oh no...you asked."
"Whether it is an infiltration incident or the Gate of Apocalypse, there is obviously a fatal danger. If you are not careful, you will be in catastrophe. Why do you keep rushing forward?"
Su Mu: "..."
Jiang Zhiyu continued to ask: "In fact, the strength of the empire is far stronger than you believe. In fact, even if you don't do these things, they will send people to do it."
"If you really can't stand it, just provide clues. There is no need to go to the end personally."
"Perhaps the rewards for infiltration incidents are very good, but compared with lives, this reward should be negligible and not worth mentioning at all."
Su Mu: "..."
"Aren't you going to answer me?" Jiang Zhiyu suddenly stopped and grabbed Su Mu's hand.
Su Mu also stopped because of this. In the dark environment, the two sides could not see each other's faces, but they could feel that they were looking at each other.
After a while, Su Mu said: "What if I said it just to save people?"
Jiang Zhiyu sneered and said, "Risk your life to save people who have nothing to do with you? That would be too holy. I don't believe it."
Su Mu: "So this is the difference between you and me."
Jiang Zhiyu: "..."
Su Mu continued: "I know I am not a savior, and I don't want to be a savior, but..."
"But I like this world. I don't want my parents, me... the people I care about, to live in a purgatory with no hope."
"So, I hope I can kill all of this!"
Jiang Zhiyu: "But you can't do it."
Su Mu: "That's why I have to do it even more."
"For example, this infiltration may be able to be solved even without me. Maybe even if it cannot be solved, it will only cause Lin'an City or Zhijiang Province to fall."
"Maybe I sacrificed myself and successfully stopped it, but I only saved some people I don't even know."
"But as long as I stand up, it will be the beginning of my own hopes and dreams."
"Everyone has someone or others they want to protect, right?"
"Besides, Tianqi owes me a life, and I have to get it back."
…
After a long silence, Jiang Zhiyu finally spoke: "So, this is the reason why you are so desperate? Is this your will?"
Su Mu sneered and laughed at himself: "It's not that I'm desperate, and I don't have much will. You don't know how coward I was before."
"I just...how do I put it?"
"Maybe, I just try hard to get everything I want."
"..."
After a moment of silence, Su Mu held Jiang Zhiyu's hand and continued to move forward.
People are not saints, how can they have no faults? If Su Mu really sacrifices himself for someone who has nothing to do with him, it will definitely be impossible.
But if this sacrifice can be exchanged for more things and unlock the true purpose of Apocalypse, that is another story.
…
As we walked, the cold underground cave began to gradually become sultry, and the darkness below was finally no longer complete.
