Under Lonely Ruyan's puzzled gaze, Li Ming waved his short staff to draw strange lines on the stone wall.
The zigzag lines are actually a rehearsing of the journey the two people took underground.
When Li Ming stopped moving, he stood in front of the stone wall and carefully looked at the route map he had just drawn from memory. Except for the straight passage in the prison, the upward stone staircase passage was actually in the same place all the time.
But now, the two of them fled forward from the left passage and walked a long distance to the left in twists and turns.
Judging from the location, the two of them had already walked through the forest area on the ground, and their current approximate location was actually under the lake in the center of the forest!
No, what a coincidence?
Li Ming roughly judged the underground location where he was, and couldn't help but be extremely shocked.
Since it is under the bottom of the lake, where does the crack lead to?
If there are cracks at the bottom of the lake, wouldn’t the lake water flow in? This is unscientific...
"What's wrong, Brother Ming?" Lonely Ruyan never understood what he was doing.
"I just made some calculations and found that our current location is already at the bottom of the lake..." Li Ming told her his guess in detail.
"No, are we at the bottom of the lake?" Lonely Ruyan's beautiful eyes widened in surprise as well.
"Now if we return along the original path, we will return to the bottom of the forest again. The BOSS must be somewhere above our heads. The wolves in the cave must also be set up by the system to protect the underground palace passage and the BOSS.
"Li Ming guessed.
"Let me just say, the wild wolf in the cave and the wild wolf monster in the forest are not the same kind of monster at all. The wild wolf that chased us just now is even bigger, and they are all level 30 elite monsters." Lonely Ruyan.
He nodded and said.
"Now if we want to find a way to avoid the pursuit of elite monsters, we must pass through that cave to fully understand the situation here." Li Ming said.
"I'm afraid it's just the two of us who can't make it. It's hard to deal with any of those elite monsters, let alone such a big group!" Lonely Ruyan said worriedly.
"Everything depends on human effort. Don't despair until the last step." Li Ming comforted him and strode towards the long cave with the beauty...
Both of them knew very well that since they fell into this underground palace, all their external contact methods had been banned, and they could not even use the return scroll.
Now there are only two choices left for them. One is to rush into the cave and be killed by the monster, and maybe they can return to the city.
The second option is the most effective way for them, which is to break out of the cave and continue to explore the mysteries of the underground palace...
They all know that their teammates will definitely be anxious to death, and they must be trying their best to find their whereabouts, and it has been nearly an hour now!
Quickly returning the same way, the two of them returned to the fork in the road. On the opposite side was the passage to the dungeon, and in the middle were the steps to continue climbing.
"You should stay here. I will figure out how to escape first and then come to you, so that the two of you will not be easily discovered by the monster." Li Ming said.
"Okay, I believe you can find a way out." Lonely Ruyan nodded. After this trip to the underground palace, she already felt full of security and dependence on this man.
And coincidentally, Li Ming's current game character image is somewhat similar to her biological brother, which makes her inexplicably full of intimacy.
Lonely Ruyan held a torch and stayed at the fork in the road to wait. Li Ming quietly climbed up the steps alone, quickly turned the corner, and quietly approached the exit.
This time he did not dare to be reckless. After staying at the entrance of the cave to make sure that the wolves inside were not disturbed, he slowly stretched out his head and looked into the cave...
In the dim cave, pairs of red eyes can be seen everywhere, and countless huge black wolves wander back and forth in the wide cave...
After just one glance, Li Ming quickly retracted his head for fear of being discovered by the monster.
You can't see anything clearly with just a quick glance, but the number of monsters in the cave is really astonishing.
It is simply impossible for two people to get past each other. Unless the system has other settings here, it will be a dead end!
Li Ming hid outside the cave entrance and peeked outside every once in a while, constantly keeping track of the monsters' movements.
But every time he took another look, he became more and more desperate. The wolves in the cave were too densely distributed. Just shaking the entrance of the cave would attract the attention of countless monsters, let alone being able to pass through safely...
However, he still noticed something. Although the terrain inside the cave was open, it was a horizontal rectangle. A cave entrance could be vaguely seen on the opposite side of the cave, which was less than thirty meters away.
If you can avoid the attacks of the wolves and rush into the opposite cave entrance, you may be able to escape from this underground palace.
After seeing the terrain clearly, Li Ming was still worried, how could he lure away these wolves and ensure that both of them could safely rush to the opposite cave entrance?
This is an unsolvable problem. If you want to attract monsters, you must leave one person behind...
And even if he escaped into the opposite cave, he didn't dare to be 100% sure that it would be safe. If he encountered another cave spawned by monsters, it would be troublesome...
But he didn't dare to do anything. This was the only way now. Li Ming quickly made a decision to lure the monsters by himself. Let Lonely Ruyan try to escape first. If there is no danger, he can return to the ground. Then he can contact his teammates to enter.
The underground palace will find a solution together...
Thinking of this, Li Ming has already made a decision.
He breathed a sigh of relief and planned to check the situation in the cave for the last time, and then return to Lonely Ruyan to discuss the method of escape.
I stuck my head out and checked the cave again, but this time I ran into trouble!
Li Minggang stretched out his head, but he didn't expect that there was a wild wolf wandering in the cave, and his two pairs of eyes were focused on...
I go!
Li Ming shouted in his heart that something was wrong, and the wild wolf seemed to be stunned for a second, and then let out a ferocious howl with bared teeth and cracked teeth!
Ouch!
The sudden wolf howl resounded throughout the cave. The other wild wolves all turned their heads, and countless red eyes locked the direction of the cave entrance again.
Li Ming was so frightened that he turned around and ran away, quickly rushing into the cave...
Less than three seconds after his back disappeared, the wolves in the cave roared and rushed in, chasing him into the steps and passage...
At this time, Li Ming, who was the first to react, had already turned a corner and rushed down the steps quickly.
Lonely Ruyan still held a torch and stood at the fork in the road in surprise. The howling of wolves already made her aware of the crisis.
Seeing Li Ming rushing over quickly, he snatched the torch from her hand, threw it to the opposite corridor with a wave of his hand, then grabbed her hand and rushed into the passage on the left.
As soon as the two of them disappeared around the corner of the cave, they saw countless running wolves quickly rushing towards the place where the fire was shining on the right side.
The roaring figures of wild wolves rushed towards the cave on the right one after another. Li Ming and Lonely Ruyan, who were hiding at the corner on the left, were so frightened that their hearts almost jumped into their throats.
However, the strange scene in front of him made Li Ming's eyes go straight. Last time, these wild wolves seemed to be chasing the right passage, and this time they are also chasing to the right. Is this the secret setting of the system?
If this is the case, the situation seems not too bad...
