It was too late for Lin Chong to hide now. He looked at the chaotic crowd, took a deep breath and rushed in. Someone next to him immediately reacted: "Who is it?"
Before he finished asking, everyone's eyes fell into darkness.
This kind of underground tunnel was unsafe and lacked oxygen. Lin Chong breathed a sigh of relief and said in his heart that it was best to use less of these burning things. Look, the fire is extinguished.
Taking advantage of the chaos, he sped up the movements of his hands. The sudden darkness in front of him was a bit uncomfortable, and the screams of these people just now were not without reason.
Many corpses had fallen where they retreated, and no one dared to speak loudly.
Only an unusually calm voice could be heard in the darkness: "You don't have to continue following me. Since someone is coming, you should go back with your things first."
A group of people seemed to commotion quietly, but it was only a moment. After all, if you go down, you may face life-threatening danger. In this case, since your boss said that you want to go back, of course it is more respectful than obeying the order, so the team transferred
Go back in the direction you came from.
However, a tragedy happened after they had walked a few steps. The person standing behind them took out a shining night pearl and showed a compassionate smile where they couldn't see it: "I'm really sorry, everyone, I am also following orders."
.”
So before everyone had time to react to the rapid change in the plot, they saw Duanmu Ling, dressed in white, moving. His movements were crisp and neat. His weapon was a soft sword at his waist, which was like a living silver snake in his hand.
He passed by and fell down before he even had time to scream.
Within a few minutes, corpses were already lying on the ground. Lin Chong was one of them. Fortunately, he was not a corpse yet.
Lin Chong touched the ground in the dark and took off a piece of clothes from a man in black, put it on himself and lay on the ground pretending to be dead.
When the leading man in white took out the Night Pearl, he was already screaming in his heart, so he fell down out of the way one step ahead and acted like a corpse.
When the people in black turned around to leave, the man in white used a soft sword to kill everyone. After sheathing the sword, he said to himself: "You shouldn't have followed."
Lin Chong felt that the voice was familiar when he first heard it. Now that he heard what he said again, he was 100% sure that he must have seen this person somewhere.
But no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't remember where he had heard this voice or seen this person. It stands to reason that such a peerless master would definitely have a photographic memory if he had seen it. Where was he?
The man in white walked around casually, as if he wanted to confirm whether everyone was dead. Lin Chong almost tried his best to hold his breath and waited for him to pass.
But this time Lin Chong finally saw his face clearly and remembered where he had seen him. This person was the one who took the jade pendant from him and told him that the person behind the incident in Yueshan County was the Red Flower Club.
That person.
He claimed to be the deputy sect leader of Tiandi Sect at that time, but he didn't seem to say what his name was.
Now it seems that the group of mysterious people I met when I rescued Zhou Yun by the river last time are definitely here for this secret passage. Where does this secret passage lead to? What is it that attracts these people to gather here?
Is it some unknown treasure?
Lin Chong waited until the man in white had walked a certain distance, and then followed him quietly. The secret passage was very wide when it got here, and it seemed that he had reached his destination.
The group of men in black just touched some mechanism, and many small arrows flew out, killing many people.
Lin Chong had nothing but a good memory. He used the dim light of the night pearl to secretly write down the course of action of the man in white, and sketched an image in his mind.
Occasionally, the man in white would trigger his mechanism, but he could easily avoid it. Lin Chong kept adjusting the image in his mind as he walked. At this time, he saw the man in white continue to walk forward casually, and Lin Chong felt an unknown feeling in his heart.
With a premonition, I stopped.
Duanmuling didn't know how long he had been walking, but his eyes were still pitch black without any light.
Legend has it that the Sword of Reincarnation was sealed in Zhu Yuanzhang's mausoleum. This secret passage was an escape tunnel dug by the craftsmen who built the tomb. The other end of the secret passage should lead to Zhu Yuanzhang's mausoleum.
Duanmuling repeated the information he knew in his mind, while doubting whether the news was true or false. After all, the Samsara Sword was just a legendary thing. It was still unknown whether there was such a sword. And although this secret passage was indeed what was said on the drawing,
It appears here, but so far there is no evidence to prove that it leads to the tomb.
Moreover, the hidden weapons appearing here are not mentioned in the drawings.
Lin Chong mentally reviewed the safe route he took, and suddenly another picture appeared in his mind, which miraculously overlapped with the safe route taken by the man in white in front of him.
He had seen that picture countless times, but he never thought there was anything special about it. It wasn't even a picture drawn on paper, it was just the pattern of a jade pendant.
It is impossible for ordinary people to remember the texture of the jade pendant, and to get this drawing, you must break the jade pendant. Once the jade pendant is broken, the texture will naturally disappear.
But Lin Chong is a monster. After watching it for a few days, he miraculously remembered the strange patterns on the jade pendant. So based on the route the man in white took before, he can now roughly estimate where to go next.
is safe.
It was obvious that the man in white was in the wrong position when he stepped down. Not knowing what would happen if he stepped on it, Lin Chong subconsciously stopped and kept a distance from the man in white.
He heard a strange "rustling" sound, and then a small sound came from nowhere, as if something was crawling across the ground quickly and approaching them.
Lin Chong got goosebumps when he heard that voice from so far away, but fortunately, these things were only aimed at people in the agency and could not take care of him.
Lin Chong breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he couldn't help but worry about the man in white. If he couldn't stand it anymore, he might be the one who would be unlucky.
Do you want to turn around and go back now? Maybe there is someone at the door to meet you. This guy in white clothes looks like he is a martial arts master, so he should be fine!
As if to verify his idea, the sound of the soft sword colliding with some kind of shelled creature stopped for a moment, and Lin Chong heard a low curse.
Although he kept telling himself in his heart that it was best to turn around and leave without worrying about anything, Lin Chong couldn't help but recall what he should do if such a situation occurred in the tomb-robbery novels he had read before.
