Chapter one hundred and seventy fourth

Wu Wei and Jiang Zhiqian held the wall with their hands. The two of them groped and walked slowly down the stone steps, not daring to light the light and lighten their steps, for fear of alarming the person hiding in the dark.

If you want to walk without sound, you can only use light skills except slowing down. However, in this dark tunnel, you can not mention using light skills or something. However, raising your energy a little and then slowing down can greatly reduce the movement.

After walking for a long time, the stone steps were finally finished, the ground became flat, and from the slight flow of the air, there should be a straight corridor in front of me. I listened carefully, but I couldn't hear any sound. The two of them discussed in a low voice and decided to continue walking forward.

The corridor seemed to have no end. Wu Wei and Jiang Zhiqian slowly moved in the corridor. Apart from the rustling footsteps, there was nothing and they could not see anything. Fortunately, there were two people walking in this dark corridor. The silence was really uncomfortable. The longer the time, the heavier the pressure in their hearts, which made people feel like they couldn't help but light the lights or shouting. At this time, they could only use their greed for the treasure to suppress the fear that surged in their hearts.

It seemed as if after a century, they finally touched a wall with their palms. After fumbled and confirmed that this was a portal, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"With a portal block, can you light the light?"

Jiang Zhiqian whispered his suggestion, in fact, they could not find the mechanism to open the portal without lighting the lights.

Wu Wei whispered: "Come on."

As he said that, he took out a candlestick with a glass cover from the package, which would ignite as soon as it was taken out. It was also the cheapest prop for players to illuminate at night. This thing is larger than an oil lamp. However, the range of illumination is much larger.

When the light came back to the world, Wu Wei and Jiang Zhiqian subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Instead of rushing to find the switch to open the portal, they glanced at the portal in front of them, turned to look at the corridor behind them. The lights were illuminated by only about ten meters, and the further distance was still pitch black.

Jiang Zhiqian pointed to a dark thing in the corner of the wall and said, "What is that?"

"It seems like an arrow."

Wu Wei replied in confusion. He took a few steps, bent down and looked at the black metal carefully, confirming that it was a broken arrow. At the same time, he also saw an arrow shaft not far away. Judging from the size, it was a featherless crossbow arrow.

Wu Wei looked at it for a while, suddenly his face froze. He turned his head and searched on the wall. Soon after, he found a trace of an arrow hitting the wall. The trace was very fresh and obviously it was just taken up. Wu Wei shivered.

"Damn, this is a crossbow arrow in the mechanism. Fortunately, the mechanism may have failed and only shot such a crossbow arrow. The corridor we passed by just now may have been covered with mechanisms."

When Jiang Zhiqian heard this, he was scared. They came over in the dark just now. If the mechanism in the corridor was good, they would have returned to the city for free.

Jiang Zhiqian thought about it and suddenly smiled, "Does this mean we are lucky and we will probably get rich!"

Wu Wei whispered and turned around and walked towards the stone door that blocked the road: "Let's find the mechanism to open the door."

It has been a long time since no one has walked through the corridor, and there is a lot of dust on the ground. He Xiaoyong didn't think about eliminating the traces when he walked by, so Wu Wei and Jiang Zhiqian easily found the traces of He Xiaoyong's activities.

"This bastard has actually been here all the way. How do you think he knows he can light the light?"

Wu Wei said this with evidence, because their footprints were near the wall, but He Xiaoyong and the old shop owner were in the middle, and He Xiaoyong's footprints did not destroy the old man's footprints.

Jiang Zhiqian frowned and shook his head. He couldn't think of the strangeness here. Perhaps He Xiaoyong was stupid and daring to hit him by chance? Or maybe He Xiaoyong was confident? I guess only He Xiaoyong himself knew the truth, but this was not important.

Jiang Zhiqian squatted on the ground and carefully observed the footprints near the portal. Soon he found that the owner's footprints were heading straight to the left of the portal. He Xiaoyong seemed to have wandered a little at the door, and finally walked to the left of the portal.

"The agency should be on the left and look carefully."

With the guidance of footprints, the two quickly found a not-so-secret mechanism. The two turned off the lights and were ready to fight at any time. Then Wu Wei pushed the switch hard and the portal slid silently to the right. Although the silent sliding of the heavy stone door was unreasonable, the two of them could not care about this now. As soon as the portal was opened, their attention was placed in the space behind the portal.

What disappointed the two was that although the back of the portal was no longer a dark ball, he did not see He Xiaoyong or the old man. The purpose was a semicircular cave with three holes at the bottom of the cave. This was the rhythm of walking through the maze. I don’t know if there were wild monsters inside.

On the top of this semicircular space, a luminous crystal was inlaid. The two of them just glanced at it and stopped paying attention. The thing was a luminous stone commonly found in authentic copies and was indestructible and cannot be destroyed or taken.

The two quickly focused on the ground. Unfortunately, the bottom surface here was very clean, and it was impossible for them to find He Xiaoyong's footprints.

"Damn, it's a maze!"

Jiang Zhiqian complained in a low voice, but a light of excitement flashed in his eyes. The more complicated the tunnel is, the more huge the receipt will be. Otherwise, what would the system have worked hard to make such a big maze?

Wu Wei sighed: "There are three forks at once, and we can't walk separately."

"Yes, let's see if there is a way to find He Xiaoyong's traces."

Wu Wei nodded, said nothing, and directly crossed the portal and walked towards the semicircular cave. The two of them entered the cave. The portal behind them closed silently again.

The two looked back and no longer focused on the matter of the portal. Instead, they squatted down on the ground and carefully searched for possible traces. Soon they were disappointed. The ground was very clean and there was no trace at all. The two of them searched carefully at the entrances of the three caves, but there was still no trace.

Jiang Zhiqian sighed and stood up, frowned and looked at the three holes, but he found that there were small figures engraved above the holes.

"Awei, what do you think is that?"

Wu Wei looked happily when he heard the sound. Although the figures were very small, you could still see a rough idea, which should be straw sandals, daggers and shells.

"What does this mean? Is it pointing to a mark?"

Wu Wei seemed to be asking Jiang Zhiqian, and then seemed to be asking himself. Jiang Zhiqian thought for a while and said, "Maybe it just points to the mark. Are these three corridors useful?"

Wu Wei frowned: "So what if they are all useful? Our goal now is to find He Xiaoyong. No, find that old man, don't worry about the others."

"That's right, but how can I find that old man?"

Wu Wei did not answer Jiang Zhiqian's question, but frowned and walked back and forth in front of several holes. Finally, he stopped before the hole marking the straw sandals.

"Go here."

Jiang Zhiqian looked at Wu Wei curiously, but without any doubt, he walked over directly. When Wu Wei saw Jiang Zhiqian coming, he also raised his foot and walked into the entrance of the cave.

After walking for a while, another same fork intersection appeared. It was still a semicircular cave, and there were still three caves marked with different symbols. Wu Wei still wandered around the three caves for a while and chose to walk the cave with the straw sandals.

Next, they passed four forks, and Wu Wei chose to walk through the hole marking the straw sandals, and finally, the two saw something different.

This is a large cave, with an area of ​​about one hundred meters square. The top of the cave is also quite high. It is inlaid with glowing crystals according to the star map. There is a building like a temple built in the cave. The temple itself only occupies a small part of the space. Other places are a flat square, empty and nothing.

When Wu Wei saw this temple, a smile appeared on his face, but Jiang Zhiqian looked at Wu Wei quietly, with deep fear in his eyes.

Jiang Zhiqian was about to ask what to do next, but suddenly a burst of crazy laughter came from the temple.

"Ha ha..."

"You are...ah!"

"Hehe... Thank you for leading me, otherwise I won't be able to find this baby! Haha..."

Jiang Zhiqian and Wu Wei looked at each other, and the arrogance of laughter was like a trumpet of charge. The two of them did not say a word and rushed forward almost at the same time.

"Haha...well!"

He Xiaoyong's laughter came to an abrupt end, and the last strange sound seemed to be the sound of a duck that was strangled to his neck.

"You, you..."

Wu Wei glanced at He Xiaoyong, who looked pale, and then looked at the seriously injured old man who fell to the ground. He Xiaoyong must have wanted to get more information from the old man if he didn't kill him. Of course, Wu Wei had the same idea.

Jiang Zhiqian seemed very happy to see He Xiaoyong's surprised expression, and said with a smile: "Brother, I didn't expect to meet here. Didn't you go to help your friends with boxing?"

He Xiaoyong looked at the palm-sized emerald jade plaque in his hand, raised his hand and stuffed the jade plaque into his arms. With a wave of his hand, he added a pair of blue-black boxing gloves.

"Stop talking nonsense. If you want something, come up and get it yourself, but Jiang Zhiqian, you must be careful of the knife behind you, hehe..."

Wu Wei frowned: "Xiaoyong, it's useless. At least we all have a fight. It's not too late to look back now."

"Bah! Do you think I'm a fool? If you want something, you kill me, but I don't know who will kill whom!"
