Chapter 125 Chase
Chapter 125 Chase
squeak--
The three of them jumped out of the window, and when they landed one after another, there was a loud "creaking" sound under their feet, like the wail of an old wooden floor that could not bear the weight.
The light here seems to be darker than the layer above. If it weren't for the bead lighting up the place, it would be so dark that you can't see your hand in front of you.
The air was filled with a strong smell of medicine and decay, and the surrounding sounds were very noisy, as if the whistling of the wind was mixed with the rhythmic breathing of some creature.
Plop…plop…
As soon as he found his footing, Shen Qiao's spiritual sense keenly detected a rhythm similar to that of a heartbeat. It seemed to be approaching, and each time it sounded, it was one step closer to its original position.
Something was coming. Perhaps it was disturbed by the loud noise just now.
The other two people obviously noticed it as well, so they also became alert.
It's coming from behind...still some distance away.
"Let's move forward and get a clear idea of the terrain." Shen Qiao suggested in a low voice.
"it is good."
With the bead illuminating the area, walking wasn't very difficult. Shen Qiao took the opportunity to spread his spiritual sense as he walked, and quickly figured out the general situation here.
This seems to be a cave that has been dug through. Each passage is very spacious and it is interconnected like a huge maze.
Looking at the huge maze map that was gradually becoming complete in her mind, she began to try to find a way out of the maze, but as her perception became clearer and clearer, she actually sensed many very weak spiritual power fluctuations, at least seventeen or eighteen.
How could so much spiritual power suddenly appear? Could it be that many cultivators were also lured here?
And the feeling of this wood spiritual power...
"Senior Sister Shang Mian is here too."
"Her? How could she get in here directly? We clearly haven't encountered her in the two spaces above." Li Yue couldn't help but quicken his pace as he spoke, "Unless, there is a place here that directly connects to the secret realm outside."
Directly connected to the outside... When did this Fallen Shadow Manor become so generous as to let people in?
wow-
Lou Zhiyu tried to kick a pile of metal objects, and when she glanced down, she found that it was a small pile of golden grains. After looking at it carefully for a few more times, she saw that there was something else in the gold that she kicked out - a severed human hand.
Lou Zhiyu looked away and quickly followed the other two people, "Don't touch anything here. I have a bad feeling."
In fact, as they walked further and further, many things began to appear on the ground one after another: spiritual stones, porcelain, raw metal materials, stones that had not yet been mined but looked very good, small piles of gold... and even the temptation was constantly escalating. Li Yue had already seen more than one exquisite spiritual weapon.
"This place is so weird." Li Yue couldn't help but speak.
Shen Qiao had been paying attention to the strange heartbeat. After these messy things appeared, the heartbeat frequency increased rapidly and was getting closer and closer.
'Turn left at the next fork.'
An old voice suddenly came into my mind.
Shen Qiao was startled. It felt like someone suddenly patted your shoulder in a quiet room.
'Who are you?' she asked immediately.
"The one who saved your life," the voice replied faintly.
Shen Qiao frowned, "Are you kidding me? There's a dead end not far away."
"Don't worry, this old man has no interest in harming you youngsters for the time being." The voice was still unhurried.
"I just think you can still help me, believe it or not."
Shen Qiao was still a little hesitant, but then he sensed the heartbeat behind him getting closer and closer...
"This way." Shen Qiao made up his mind and instantly changed his mind, originally planning to find the exit. He led the other two people to turn left and enter a narrower passage.
"I'm not someone who's willing to die in peace." Shen Qiao sent a message back as he walked.
'I hope you mean it.'
"Heh..." the old man chuckled, "You may not be very old, but you have a big temper."
Li Yue noticed Shen Qiao's mood change, "What did you sense?"
"An old man." Shen Qiao said directly, "He is directing us to take another route."
"Is it credible?" Lou Zhiyu couldn't help but doubt.
The three of them were practically running.
"Let's give it a try." Shen Qiao said as he ran, "The thing behind us is moving faster. Even if we are faster now, we can't outrun it."
"I can't run either way, so I might as well give it a try."
The old man smiled again and said, "You have some courage."
The wooden planks under his feet creaked even more fiercely, as if he had sensed the three people's increased speed. The heartbeat of the man who was chasing them increased by more than ten times.
"Slow down, stop about a hundred meters ahead. Feel for a dent on the right wall and put your hand on it."
"Stop!" Shen Qiao stopped the two of them, then turned to look in the direction of the voice. With the light of the beads, he really saw a square groove.
"Is this it?"
"Give it a try," the old man suddenly said irresponsibly, his tone tinged with a hint of joking.
"You can let the two girls next to you try. I can only communicate with you anyway, and I only want to save you."
This was a reminder to Shen Qiao to use Li Yue and Lou Zhiyu for trial and error to protect herself.
Nasty guy.
She raised her hand and transformed it into a kite, poking an umbrella towards that place.
An intense stinging sensation directly invaded her sea of consciousness. She reacted extremely quickly, and her spiritual consciousness instantly condensed to resist the erosion.
Want to control her consciousness?
The spiritual energy around him also burst out, and streams of water spiritual energy instantly climbed up the surrounding stone walls. Shen Qiao sent a voice message without hesitation, "If you just want to lure us to take over a body, I don't mind letting this body be shattered before I die. Then none of us will gain any advantage."
There was silence for a moment, and finally, as if in compromise, he made a soft sound and withdrew the divine consciousness that was trying to further devour Shen Qiao's sea of consciousness, "This is fake, the real one is on the other side."
"Thank you." Shen Qiao said this half sarcastically and half seriously. At the same time, he pulled out the sparrow kite and turned to the other side of the stone wall. He found the groove and poked it in again.
The three of them felt the ground suddenly become empty, and before they could react, they had already fallen down, but the height below was not high, only three or four meters at most.
After they fell, the wooden boards above their heads closed instantly. Just before they closed, Shen Qiao saw a large black thread-like object spreading through the gap between the boards.
Was that... hair?
