His eyes glanced at the countless bronze doors on both sides of the passage.
Lu Yi didn't hesitate and walked towards the nearest door with long strides.
To him, nothing like Xiao Chu and A Zhuo Luo just existed, at least they didn't exist here.
"No matter what weird magical powers separate me from them, or real 'time'...it should not affect me at this time."
The thought in my mind dropped.
Lu Yi was already standing between the nearest bronze doors.
Then he stretched out his hand and pushed it gently, and the door in front of him fell directly inwards just like the stone house in Xiaochu's house before.
There was a violent "boom" sound, and the bronze door collapsed heavily with a slight tremor.
Lu Yi, who was not prepared to find anything at first, glanced inside.
Immediately, my whole body became tense and I could hardly move.
"Is there someone inside, still alive??"
As waves of turmoil surged up in my heart.
Lu Yi's gaze just... fell on the short figure sitting cross-legged on a stone bench in the stone house.
In fact, just when Lu Yi looked at her.
The dwarf-like woman inside was also staring at him.
"If this dwarf woman is alive, how long has she been sitting here...and what kind of cultivation level is she in?"
The surprise and suspicion in his eyes did not diminish.
He didn't even wait for Lu Yi to think about anything else.
The dwarf woman inside didn't seem surprised by Lu Yi's arrival.
In other words, after staring at him for a few short seconds, he slowly opened his mouth at an extremely slow speed.
In a dry and stiff voice, he said word by word:
"It's you?"
"You came back as promised...?"
Following the dwarf woman's voice.
Lu Yi's eyes showed some doubts at first, then he simply stared at her and said hesitantly:
"You...recognize me?"
Following Lu Yi's hesitation.
The dwarf woman sitting cross-legged did not answer immediately, but stared at him for a long time.
As if he was extremely uncomfortable with it, he showed a stiff smile that could even be called terrifying.
"It does not matter."
"The important thing is that you promised me that you would help us leave."
"Now, it's time for you to fulfill your promise."
"..."
"You want me to fulfill my promise?"
Seeing the dwarf woman, she didn't ask any questions, but kept telling her to fulfill her 'promise'.
Lu Yi, who was standing at the door, frowned and said directly:
"If it's something I promised, there must be proof."
"No matter what you want me to do, please take it out first!"
"otherwise……"
He shook his head and didn't wait for Lu Yi to say anything else.
The dwarf woman inside continued to stare at him with a stiff and weird smile, grinning:
"I can't move. If you want to see the voucher... just come in and see for yourself."
Talking in his mouth.
It's like not being able to control your body well.
The corners of the dwarf woman's mouth, even in Lu Yi's eyes... formed a terrifying arc.
It was also because her smile was so weird and terrifying that her whole face was a little deformed.
Lu Yi, who was outside the door, noticed a small detail that he had not noticed before.
"Why does this dwarf woman always stare at the bronze door on the ground out of the corner of her eye?"
"In other words, what she is staring at is...the boundary line at the door of this stone house?"
I was slightly shocked.
Lu Yi, who sensed something was wrong, did not go in, nor did he expose the dwarf woman in person.
Instead, he frowned slightly and said:
"You're not in a hurry, I want to check other rooms first."
"While you're at it, you can prepare the 'voucher' first... I'll come back to check later!"
After speaking, Lu Yi didn't even wait for the dwarf woman inside to speak.
He turned around and walked towards other rooms.
But the lifted steps have not yet fallen.
The dwarf woman in the room continued in a dry and stiff voice:
"No need to...see it."
"There is no one alive here except me."
"Now... take me... away!!"
When it comes to the last sentence.
The dwarf woman's voice has been directly transformed, with some chilling hoarseness and tremors in it.
Two eyes that were normally normal suddenly bulged out of their sockets, staring straight at Lu Yi with a vicious and strange look.
"This expression?"
His eyes glanced sharply at the dwarf woman.
It was hard for Lu Yi to imagine that this kind of sound... could be made by any normal creature.
In other words, the dwarf sitting cross-legged at this moment was not what he saw at all.
"Is this thing in a hurry?"
"Does this mean she can't move at all?"
He saw the expression of the dwarf woman inside gradually becoming terrifying and ferocious, staring at him.
Lu Yi raised his eyebrows first, then stared at her extremely terrifying appearance and shook his head:
"You and I were talking nicely, why did you become like this?"
He shook his head and sighed.
The voice coming from the room no longer had any hidden meaning.
It was as if a terrifying beast that Lu Yi couldn't see was struggling and moving inside.
Even if there is no breath coming out of it.
Just this movement makes people feel... there must be something extremely terrifying inside.
Then, the dwarf woman inside stared at Lu Yi with a terrifying and ferocious expression:
"You want to know? Hey hey hey?"
With a ferocious laugh.
The dwarf woman's next words have not yet been spoken.
His eyes suddenly stared.
Then, his head tilted, as if he was dead... and there was no movement in an instant.
"What??"
Look at the dwarf woman inside.
Before Lu Yi's eyes flashed with surprise, he thought about whether to go in and check.
Behind him, a hoarse voice that was not unfamiliar suddenly sounded.
"Don't be fooled, it's a monster trying to lure you in."
"..."
"This sound..."
His body froze slightly.
Even though the hoarse voice behind him was filled with fatigue that could not be concealed.
Lu Yi couldn't tell that this was Xiao Chu who had brought him here just now.
"She followed me out of the darkness?"
I was shocked at first.
Lu Yi turned his head and looked back almost instinctively.
But as far as the eye can see, except for the corpses all over the ground in the passage, there is not a single human figure in sight.
"No? How is it possible?"
I looked at the empty silence nearby.
Before Lu Yi's eyes could be filled with surprise and doubt again, Xiaochu's voice... actually sounded from behind him again.
"Are you looking for me?"
First there was a sigh of helplessness.
Xiaochu's voice sounded behind Lu Yi and continued to sigh:
"No need to waste your efforts."
"Meeting you here shows that my original guess... was correct."
Talking in his mouth.
Xiaochu's voice, which was originally full of exhaustion, gradually became filled with joy.
"This time, we can finally leave this boundless darkness!"
"..."
"Leaving again?"
Listening to the joy and excitement in Xiaochu's voice behind him.
Lu Yi, whose eyes had just filled with surprise, didn't have time to ask anything.
Xiao Chu, who was originally excited in his voice behind him, suddenly had some urgency in his tone.
"They're back again. I can't stay here any longer."
"Remember, don't trust anyone... don't step into any stone house!"
"otherwise……"
Then the unfinished word 'otherwise' fell.
Xiaochu's voice, which had been ringing continuously behind Lu Yi, suddenly stopped.
"Is this...disappearing again?"
"What are 'them'?"
There was some thought in his eyes.
Lu Yi looked around and couldn't find any trace of Xiaochu.
Her sudden appearance caused countless surprises and doubts to well up in Lu Yi's heart.
“What on earth is this boundless darkness??”
thinking in mind.
Lu Yi first glanced at the dwarf woman with her head tilted in the stone house next to her.
Then, he threw it at the other bronze doors in the passage.
At this moment, these doors, like the door Lu Yi pushed down just now, were all quiet, with no breath coming out.
In other words, even if Lu Yi could see the dwarf woman inside at this time, he could not determine her level of cultivation at all.
"But no matter what, it has to be at least half a step to the other side, or...even higher?"
As this strange thought suddenly emerged in my heart.
Lu Yi felt confused in his eyes and walked directly towards the other room next door.
No matter what the existence of these rooms is, Lu Yi has to look at them one by one before talking about them.
One room, two rooms...
As Lu Yi walked along, those bronze doors standing at regular intervals were pushed down by him.
But what was beyond Lu Yi's expectation was.
Except for the room where the dwarf woman was just now, the rooms at the back... were all empty.
In other words, it was just like the stone house he came out of, with only decaying dust and dilapidated stone tables and benches.
For Lu Yi, the only gain... was that he had walked directly to the end of this corridor with countless half-steps to the other side.
At this time, half of the originally straight passage in front of him seemed to have disappeared.
All Lu Yi could see was a deep darkness that could not be penetrated by sight.
"Is this darkness the boundless darkness?"
His eyes glanced at the darkness shrouding the passage.
Before Lu Yi could figure out what to do.
In the darkness that was originally impenetrable to sight, two dim blue lights were faintly revealed.
The next moment, there was... a voice that was extremely ethereal, as if it was coming from the other side of the ocean.
"Lu Yi, where are you?"
“This place can’t support it anymore!”
"..."
"This voice...is it Jiang Wangbei?"
His eyes looked at the two groups of blue lights that were dimly lit in the darkness.
Lu Yi's face flashed with surprise at first.
Then, he tried to shout into the darkness.
"Jiang Wangbei, is that you?"
A call was left unanswered.
It was as if Lu Yi's words were extremely effective.
The azure light that was originally flickering in the darkness suddenly became much clearer.
Then, it quickly became brighter and brighter at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Almost instantly.
With two bright blue masses as the foundation, the outline of a strong-looking woman suddenly appeared in the darkness in front of Lu Yi.
"So...you are here!"
It seems that Lu Yi's condition can be observed through the darkness.
Jiang Wangbei, whose eyes were shining brightly blue, first stared at Lu Yi for a moment, and then said in a broken voice:
"Lu Yi, you're in too deep... I can't locate your true location!"
"Can you find a way to come out on your own?"
"..."
"Let me find a way to get out on my own?"
Listen to what Jiang Wangbei said.
Lu Yi's eyes first flashed with doubts, then he stared at Jiang Wangbei's vague outline and said:
"You mean, let me follow this darkness...follow you?"
"..."
Lu Yi asked in reply.
Standing in the darkness, Jiang Wangbei, with two bright eyes, shook his head slightly and said:
"Follow me, how is this possible?"
"When you enter the dark, you won't be able to see me anymore."
As he spoke, there was a hint of self-blame in his tone.
"It's all my fault that I... mistakenly believed in the crazy gods in this darkness!"
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have watched you get captured by the monster!"
"..."
"Crazy fairy, watching me get captured by monsters??"
Listening to Jiang Wangbei's words in the darkness.
Lu Yi's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes suddenly welled up with surprise and doubt again.
When he met the girl Xiaochu before, Xiaochu told him clearly... Jiang Wangbei was captured by a monster.
But at this moment, Jiang Wangbei said...it was he who was captured by the monster?
“Is it possible??”
A little bit of ugliness gradually appeared on his face.
Lu Yi just thought about what happened before, and many doubts suddenly emerged.
Apart from anything else, the terrifying footsteps approaching from far away could not be explained at all.
Lu Yi's face turned ugly and he fell into deep thought.
In the darkness, Jiang Wangbei's two blue eyes suddenly became dim.
The originally intermittent sound seemed to have been greatly disturbed.
"Lu Yi, I will find a way to find you! You... must not leave the cage where you are!"
"Once there is no location mark, no one can find you in the boundless darkness!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After finishing these two sentences, Jiang Wangbei didn't wait to see what Lu Yi wanted to say.
The shape that was originally vaguely visible suddenly disappeared.
Then, the two groups of bright blue light seemed to be regressing rapidly... they dimmed in an instant until they disappeared.
"The connection was lost?"
Seeing Jiang Wangbei disappear as if his connection was cut off.
Lu Yi frowned slightly and couldn't help but look towards the darkness where she was just now.
Although Lu Yi did not fully believe Jiang Wangbei's authenticity.
But just based on those two balls of blue light, I almost believed it.
What she said just now made Lu Yi feel a lot more wary.
"Jiang Wangbei said this is a prison... Could it be that Xiaochu, who brought me back from the darkness, is the real 'monster'?"
My mind suddenly stopped when I thought about it.
Something strange suddenly flashed in Lu Yi's eyes.
At this moment, the road away from here is shrouded in darkness from unknown origin.
Without ensuring safety, Lu Yi had no intention of exploring deep into the darkness.
"If you say so, the only thing left for me...is to close my eyes and return to the 'darkness' before?"
As the eyes become more intense,
Lu Yi could only glance at the corpses scattered on the ground.
Without even the slightest hesitation, he closed his eyes that were originally open.
The next moment, the unsettling darkness came back again.
In his ears, the terrifying voice named Adroro came again.
But compared to the previous madness and ferocity, there was some surprise and uncertainty in Adroro's voice at this time.
"Huh? You kid...you are obviously like an ant, how did you escape from me?"
"Even if my magical power of thought is sealed here, I shouldn't do it!"
