The first time he entered the passage, Chen Ziyan observed it. After confirming that the walls on both sides were made of ordinary green tiles and there were no carved murals, he decisively accelerated his progress.
This passage was unknown to him to a certain extent because it was not described in the original plot, so in order to prevent extraneous matters, Chen Ziyan did not plan to stay here too long.
Otherwise, he is afraid that he will encounter the trap that Wu Xie and the others encountered in the original plot. He cannot guarantee that he can escape in the same way, so it is better to be cautious.
Although the others didn't know what Chen Ziyan was thinking, they had become accustomed to following him along the way, so they also speeded up.
After walking for a while, Chen Ziyan discovered that they seemed to be rising a little bit, but because the rise was very weak, he didn't feel it at first.
This made Chen Ziyan secretly wonder if the end of this passage should be under the sea.
Originally, he had always thought that the space just now was the highest point of the entire underwater tomb. After all, in the original plot, Wu Xie and others left this tomb by blowing up the dome.
But now the trend of getting higher and higher made him have some doubts about it. Could it be that the location they arrived next was higher?
This is not some unreasonable speculation. Putting aside everything else, the path under his feet is the best proof.
After walking for a while, Chen Ziyan suddenly realized something and stopped quickly.
"Master Chen, is there something wrong?"
The guy following behind saw this and immediately asked in a low voice.
At the same time, he did not forget to look ahead, trying to find out the reason for Chen Ziyan's sudden stop.
Chen Ziyan didn't pay attention to their actions, but said solemnly: "Our brother who explored the path is missing!"
He had been thinking about things just now, so he subconsciously ignored this point. It was only now that he realized that the guy who led them first was missing.
And the other guys who came to explore the road never showed up.
"hiss!"
Hearing Chen Ziyan's words, others also thought of this. When they realized what this meant, they all took a breath.
This is not a trivial matter. After all, it was not only Chen Ziyan who ignored this, but they also failed to remember it.
If only one person ignored it, it would be excusable, but if everyone didn't think about it, it would not be the case.
"Did you smell anything?" Chen Ziyan took a sniff and asked.
As if a layer of confusion had been broken, he suddenly felt that the world in front of him was much more vivid. The most significant change was that there was a hint of fragrance in the air.
Although the taste is light, it is very deep and gives it a sense of mystery.
But because of what happened before, Chen Ziyan was a little unsure whether this was his own illusion.
He suspected that he and others might have entered a hallucination, so he asked other people.
Being reminded by Chen Ziyan, the others quickly sniffed and noticed the fragrance in the air.
The scent was so weird that if you didn't smell it deliberately, you wouldn't have noticed it at all, so they hadn't noticed it before.
Forbidden mother-in-law?
After making sure that everyone smelled the fragrance, Chen Ziyan frowned slightly.
This scent reminded him of another tomb-guarding beast in the undersea tomb, the forbidden woman he had met when he came in.
Although he has never been in contact with forbidden women, he knows that this thing will emit a faint fragrance. Although it is not as obvious as when burned, there will be traces in the place where he lives.
Therefore, the first thing Chen Ziyan thought of was the Forbidden Woman. After all, it was unlikely that a second creature with similar characteristics would appear in this undersea tomb.
"Keep walking and take a look in front," Chen Ziyan said in a deep voice after a moment of silence.
He is not sure now whether all this is the fault of forbidden mother-in-law, but he is sure of one thing, that is, there are only two ways in front of them, that is, forward and retreat. If they don't want to retreat, then they can only move forward.
road.
How could Chen Ziyan be willing to withdraw like this, so naturally there was only one way to move forward.
Others also understood this, so they all nodded in agreement.
This time their speed was faster. Although they were not running yet, they were still walking fast.
The road behind was still calm, but the slope was getting bigger and bigger, which made Chen Ziyan more and more confused.
Because he made a rough estimate, they may only have a small distance from the sea now, and they can probably get out by just digging a hole, which is completely different from what he originally expected.
However, Chen Ziyan's doubts did not last long, because they finally came to the end of the passage.
The space that appeared in front of them looked like an unmodified natural stone cave.
Through the beam of the searchlight, it can be clearly seen that the floor, walls, and top of this space are all made of stone, and they are all integrated. This is why he said this is a natural stone cave.
His eyes followed the beam of the searchlight, and soon the specific situation of the space was captured in his eyes.
There is nothing much to say about this cave. It is completely empty. Except for something that looks like a coral tree in the deepest part, there is nothing else.
And the few friends they had disappeared from did not appear here, so there is no need to say more, their fate can be guessed by others.
It was precisely for this reason that even though there was nothing in the space in front of him, no one, including Chen Ziyan, relaxed their vigilance and paid attention to the surrounding disturbances.
After patrolling around, Chen Ziyan slowly walked towards the coral tree in the deepest part of the space.
After the entire coral tree appeared in front of him, Chen Ziyan let out a sigh of relief, finally finding something he was familiar with.
What appeared in front of him was a huge white coral tree, as tall as two people, with a total of twelve branches. These branches were scattered, so it looked like a tree.
At the end of each branch, there are some golden bells hanging. However, judging from the green rust in the gaps of these bells, the real material of these bells should be brass, but the surface has been gilded, so it is
There will be this kind of gloss.
The most important thing is that Chen Ziyan discovered that the white coral tree in front of him was very similar to the copper coral tree he found at the Snake Mine.
Although it can't be said to be exactly the same, it is eight or nine points.
Obviously, there is a close connection between the two.
What Chen Ziyan didn't see was that after seeing the coral tree, some people in the team had a look of horror in their eyes.
