Although it is an artificially constructed passage, it is buried deep underground and surrounded by sea water, so coldness and humidity have become the main theme here.
Both Li Mu and Su Fenqiao have extremely powerful detection abilities. At this time, they are running their skills at full strength, and they can see the situation within a hundred steps at a glance.
The three of them were somewhat cautious at the beginning, but when they found that there were no living creatures in the passage except for the occasional rat that passed through, Azi, who was eager to go to Guixu Island, also took the lead in increasing her speed. Purple arcs of electricity flashed across her hands.
Their feet gathered together, and the strength that exploded instantly made Li Mu and Su Fenqiao have to use their full footwork to barely keep up.
As monks in the Infinite Realm, the contents on the drawing were naturally memorized, but the scale of the secret passage was still beyond Li Mu's imagination. After running continuously for almost half an hour, the three of them realized that they had just walked a short distance.
journey.
"The scale of this drawing seems to be larger than we expected. We originally planned to reach the first transfer point in half an hour, but now it seems that it will take at least three hours."
After reassessing the distance, the three of them began to save their energy and took turns to lead the team. They wandered in the dark passage for more than two hours before finally opening up before their eyes and arriving at the first point marked on the drawing.
Transit point.
The area of this transfer point is very large. The rails and carriages scattered all over the ground illustrate the busyness of this place. Water is constantly flowing down from the towering rock walls, forming small pools on the ground. Crisp water droplets
The sounds came and went, completely different from the suppression in the previous passage.
The three of them separately explored this transfer point. Although judging from the previous situation, this underground maze secret passage was probably not dangerous, but it is always right to be cautious.
Li Mu walked along the rock wall from west to east and saw an iron pickaxe inserted in the stone. He reached out and grabbed the wooden handle and pulled it out hard. Unexpectedly, years of water vapor corrosion had long since made it lose its former "hardness", and it fell straight away.
It was broken into several pieces.
"Sure enough, nothing can defeat the vicissitudes of time, but if you want to artificially build such a huge island, I really don't know how many craftsmen died in this secret passage."
Li Mu sighed for a while, but was soon attracted by Su Fenqiao's call and hurried over. He found that Azi had arrived first, and the two women were staring at the two railway tracks on the ground and discussing.
"What's wrong? There doesn't seem to be anything unusual about the rails. It's humid here all the year round, and it's normal for the iron products to rust and corrode. Moreover, such rail debris has also appeared in the previous passage. There shouldn't be any problem, right?"
After careful inspection, Li Mu didn't find anything wrong. He scratched his head and looked at Su Fenqiao and Azi with some confusion.
The demon princess habitually rolled her eyes, while Ah Zi was much gentler and pointed at the break of the railway track and said to Li Mu.
"Brother Li, look here. Although the corrosion of the rail is due to the environment and time, it should be shattered when it breaks, or at least it should have an irregular cross-section. However, this section of the rail was broken too cleanly and smoothly, so
It should be some sudden external force that caused it to disconnect."
"And judging from the exposed cross-section marks, the effect of this external force will not last more than six months. In other words, within half a year, someone has been here and accidentally stepped on this section of railway track."
Azi's words made Li Mu become nervous instantly. He turned around and looked around. He suddenly felt that there might be an unknown enemy hidden in every shadow. His right hand was directly on the hilt of the Starfall Sword.
The pure Yang energy also began to surge, ready to go into battle at any time.
"You are as timid as ever. You were like this in the secret realm. I'm ashamed of you."
Su Fenqiao once again started the daily complaint mode. The demon princess herself has become accustomed to this way of treating Li Mu. It seems that this man has not missed all the shortcomings of all human beings. In addition to his good looks, he has good strength and talent.
Apart from some sense of justice and some cleverness, he seems to be really useless.
And Li Mu also knew that Su Fenqiao was unforgiving, but when this woman with a mysterious identity had something to do, she meant it. Whether she was in the secret realm of the Fuxi clan or in the Guixu sea prison, she was with him.
Fighting side by side until the last moment.
The demon princess always said that she would run away first. The life and death of her companions had nothing to do with her, but she would try her best in the end. She was a typical talkative person with a soft heart. In his opinion, Su Fenqiao was more ignorant than those hypocritical decent monks in the fairy world.
How much better. After a short rest, the three of them set off again and continued along the route drawn in advance on the drawing. With the warning of the railway track, they became more and more cautious, which also caused the speed to be much slower.
Moreover, due to the passage of time, many of the accessible roads marked on the drawings have been blocked for various reasons, making the team's advancement extremely difficult. It often takes a long time to finally return to the starting point.
"Azi, don't worry. This maze of secret passages is already complicated. It's normal that it doesn't go so smoothly. Our mission is independent of the larger army, so it won't affect their actions."
"Yes, it is not good for us to go too fast. If the large force is too late to create chaos on Guixu Island, many clues will not be exposed. Now we are working step by step to better complete the operational objectives."
Li Mu and Su Fenqiao took turns to soothe Ah Zi's anxious mood, but the sudden flash of a dark shadow made them change their expressions. They quickly lowered their bodies and hid in the darkness, and then started to investigate again where the shadow had just flashed.
Area.
"An enemy? It shouldn't be. Could it be that the Guixu Sect knew our plan in advance and ambushed us in the secret passage?"
The black shadow just now was so fast that it almost flashed by. In his haste, Li Mu couldn't see its true face clearly. There were thick rocks everywhere in the underground passage, which also greatly affected his perception. He was in a hurry.
Jian also quickly asked Su Fenqiao, hoping that the other party had captured the situation of the black shadow.
"There is no reaction of the vitality of heaven and earth. It should not be a monk, but it is extremely fast, and it cannot be a mouse or the like. Could it be a monster?"
Unfortunately, the situation on the side of the demon princess is the same. Because the black shadow appeared too suddenly, I couldn't see the opponent clearly in time. I just felt that it had terrifying speed and was extremely familiar with the terrain of the secret passage.
A "whoosh" flew through the perception of Li Mu and Li Mu.
"How about I go to the front to check first? You two are guarding here now? If there is no problem, I will notify you to come over."
The three of them stood there and did not dare to move, but it was not an option to keep doing this. Finally, they decided that Li Mu would go to check the situation in the area ahead, while Su Fenqiao and Azi stayed put.
