Just as Shu Mo grabbed the edge of the luminous stone and was about to pull it out, he suddenly seemed to hear something, and the sound was getting closer and closer...
Everyone was confused. Shu Mo also stopped what he was doing and looked at the way they came. Soon a shadow appeared in their sight. At the same time, they could almost feel the vibration of the ground.
.
"Fuck! Run!"
Mo Xiao was shocked, quickly grabbed Shu Mo, and hurriedly told everyone to run away. Behind them, a huge boulder rolled towards them with the force of breaking bamboo, and the speed became faster and faster.
"Why is there such a big rock on the way we came here!" Mo Xiao almost cried without tears. If he was run over by the huge rock, it's hard to say what would happen to the others. He would probably turn into a flat figure.
"I guess Shu Mo accidentally hit some trap when he touched the luminous stone just now!" Patty blurted out. She saw the luminous stone flashing, maybe it was a similar induction mechanism.
"Stupid rat! It's your fault again!" Ye Xiaoying was furious.
Shu Mo wanted to refute, but there was no reason. Besides, he also saw the luminous stone flashing slightly, and he also suspected that it was his fault, so he swallowed what he wanted to say.
"Xueyue, how are you? Do you want to help me wipe it? How can this be done?!"
Mo Xiao looked at Xue Yue. Her physical condition was currently the worst among everyone. Mo Xiao wanted to help, but when she turned around, his jaw almost dropped.
She created an ice surface under her feet, and then formed a row of ice blades on the soles of her shoes. She moved forward quickly in a skating manner. It seemed that she could run more easily than all of them...
"Fortunately, the floor here is flat, otherwise I wouldn't be able to use this trick." Xue Yue smiled softly, but she was not very nervous.
Patty suddenly shouted in surprise: "There is a corner ahead!"
Finally! Mo Xiao was overjoyed. As long as they ran around the corner, they would be safe, but then he discovered that the rolling speed of the boulder suddenly increased to a new level!
Slope! The last section of the road turned out to be a slope!
Mo Xiao is the slowest among all the people. Now his running speed is at his limit. As soon as Shi Shi accelerates, he is almost overtaken, and he is still nearly a hundred meters away from the corner!
At this moment, Ye Xiaoying suddenly slowed down, took Mo Xiao's hand, took a big step, shouted softly, and threw him forward. With this acceleration, Mo Xiao successfully escaped, and Ye
Xiaoying himself is about to be swept under the boulder.
At the critical moment, a blood-colored energy wave suddenly hit the boulder, causing its speed to slow down slightly. Then, another ice wall suddenly rose between Ye Xiaoying and the boulder. Although the ice wall did not hold on for even a second, it could not hold on for a second.
It just slowed down the boulder a little bit, but just this little bit of slowness allowed Ye Xiaoying to instantly change into the form of a black cat, step on the wall and rush into the corner at the last moment.
The boulder hit the stone wall so hard that the entire tunnel seemed to tremble, and some stone dust flew everywhere with a dull loud noise.
Needless to say, Mo Xiao felt grateful in his heart. If Ye Xiaoying suffered misfortune because of saving him, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
After Ye Xiaoying was safe, she turned into a human again and winked at Mo Xiao: "Landlord, you're welcome."
Mo Xiao's words of thanks were blocked before he could even speak.
"It's okay, everything is fine." Patty breathed a sigh of relief, "I was really frightened. If I had told you earlier if my speed was not good enough, I would have almost gotten myself involved by pretending to be fat."
Facing Patty's lesson, Mo Xiao could only remain silent. In fact, under normal circumstances, the boulder really couldn't catch up with him. Who knew that a sudden slope would kill him.
Xue Yue looked at the two people who finally rushed in and asked softly: "Are you injured?"
The tone is very gentle, and I feel that Xue Yue has a soft aura when she speaks. Maybe this is also related to the fact that she takes care of the children for a long time.
The two of them shook their heads at the same time. Except for a scratch on Mo Xiao's arm, they were fine.
Shu Mo reminded everyone: "The way back is blocked. With such a big movement, the demon hunters underground must have noticed someone coming in."
Mo Xiao sighed softly: "There is nothing we can do about it, Patty, prepare the teleportation array. Our priority is to save our lives. If there is any emergency, we will retreat immediately."
"I know it well." Patty snorted and looked at where they were now, "Where...is this place?"
In front of them was a large underground space that could accommodate at least tens of thousands of people. The surrounding stone walls were inlaid with many of the kind of luminous stones they had just seen. The overall shape was rectangular, and the flat ground in front of them was not empty. Some kind of
What looked like factory filters and various unnamed experimental equipment were everywhere. There were some equipment or tables in the corners with strange glass bottles on them. Opposite them, you could vaguely see a tunnel.
.
"These equipments...are indeed alchemy." Patty walked up to the devices and said with certainty after taking a look.
Others came over curiously. No one had cleaned them for a long time. There was a thick layer of dust on these devices and equipment. Judging from the thickness of the dust, it seemed that this place had been abandoned for more than a hundred years. The wooden tables and chairs were also decayed.
With a little force, they will collapse into a pile of sawdust.
Shu Mo saw that there was some fine powder in one of the glass bottles. He thought about it, jumped to the bottle mouth, curiously dipped some with the tip of his tail, put it on the tip of his nose, asked, and then licked it.
"Ugh! Ugh...! What a disgusting smell!" Shu Mo lay on the edge of the table and kept retching.
Patty was startled and reminded hurriedly: "Don't seek death. The alchemist may not even know what the things made by alchemy are. Many times it is a coincidence. It is even more difficult to assess whether it is safe. You can just smell it.
Okay, don’t be so mean."
Shu Mo gritted his teeth and said: "Even if I eat shit! I will never eat this thing again!"
Everyone started exploring this quiet place, and soon found a locked iron door at the end of the space. The iron lock was already rusty. Patty pulled hard, and the iron lock broke on its own.
.
Pushing open the iron door, a pungent musty smell instantly entered everyone's nostrils. They turned on the flashlights and looked around. This was a room of about one hundred square meters, with many wooden frames placed on them.
There are some papers bundled into volumes.
"This looks like...a place where materials are stored?" Mo Xiao took a look and said.
Unfortunately, over the years, most of the papers and wooden frames have long since rotted. As soon as everyone touched them, the papers were shattered into pieces, making it impossible to read.
Everyone searched the room and managed to scrape together a dozen pieces of paper where the handwriting could be read clearly. The fonts written on these pieces of paper were quite different from modern characters, so it was a bit difficult to identify them. Fortunately, the cat demon girl
Recognizing them, as she interpreted them, some words such as "immortality" and "life refinement" came into their ears, and everyone's expressions began to gradually change.
However, when she saw a name on one of the papers, Ye Xiaoying's eyes suddenly froze.
