Chapter 785 Underground Ancient City

Chapter 785 Underground Ancient City

Late at night, the government office was brightly lit, but the backyard where Ayu and other officials lived was silent.

At this time, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Several figures ran quickly out of Qin Huai's room and scattered in all directions.

Ayu opened her eyes only after another masked man left.

"Elf, are they gone?"

[We have walked a mile.]

[Your ability to conceal your breath is getting better and better. I won't buy you any more items to conceal your breath. They are too expensive and not worth it.]

"it is good."

Ayu sat up from the bed, took off the quilt, and there was a nightgown underneath.

She had rested well in the space a long time ago and was now full of energy.

Brother Ayou must have asked someone to investigate secretly, but she felt that this matter was not that easy.

The reward was too tempting and she didn't want to fail.

Qin Huai sent people out, he must have known some clues.

There is no need to expose it. He will tell it the next day.

Now, she is going to another place.

Ah Yu used his lightness skills to quickly rush out in a direction that no one else had gone.

Several yamen runners on duty suddenly felt a gentle breeze and couldn't help but touch the back of their heads.

"What's wrong?" asked the bailiff beside him.

"It seemed like someone just passed by." The bailiff said uncertainly, "but there was no sound around, and no one was seen."

He gripped the spear tightly in his hand and wanted to follow his feeling to investigate, but was stopped by another person.

"Don't go. Our duty is to guard this place. Don't go looking for other places. It might be a cat, or just an ordinary night breeze."

"What if it's——"

"There's no such thing as a hapless event." The bailiff said solemnly, "What if there really is a powerful master who can come and go freely without anyone noticing? What can we do with our skills? It's better for us to stay here."

Although being well-behaved will not lead to any achievements, you will not make big mistakes or lose your life either.

This is the truth passed down by the old yamen runners.

So the two yamen runners shut their mouths tacitly.

As they were talking, A Yu had already left Fengming City and arrived at the river.

The lights on the other side of the river were bright, and a campsite could be seen in the distance.

"They are so blatant, I don't know whether they are confident or have no rules at all." Ah Yu certainly leaned towards the latter. Tuanzi, the cheating artifact, naturally had a complete understanding of the situation on that side.

They planned to pretend to fight a few battles with General Hua early tomorrow morning, and then surrender in the end when they were outnumbered.

The third prince is already dead, and their leader has quietly slipped away. Why not surrender?

A Yu came to a deserted place, took a deep breath, and then dived into the river.

The river water was so dark at night that you couldn't see your hand in front of you. Before Ayu could use her inner energy to keep warm, Tuanzi had already skillfully put on the heating props for her.

And gave her guidance.

[There is a stone lion about ten meters ahead. If you move it away, you can see the entrance behind.]

Upon hearing this, Ah Yu swam over, mobilized his inner strength, and moved the stone lion away, and his hand touched the entrance of the cave.

She swam into the cave and found that the inside was longer than she had imagined.

When she felt she was short of oxygen, Tuanzi had already bought her an oxygen device.

After taking a few deep breaths, Ayu threw the oxygen equipment into the space, and with another effort, he finally reached his destination.

A Yu first went back to the space and changed into a set of dry clothes, then came out again and looked around carefully.

It was an underground city with hundreds of steps, most of which was submerged in water, and the remaining small half was in a dry place.

【Wait, don't light the fire. 】

[There is flammable gas here, which could easily explode if ignited.] Tuanzi rummaged through A-Yu's private collection and found a fist-sized night-shining pearl.

"...Isn't there a smaller one?" The night pearl was heavier than a stone, and A Yu was helpless.

[It's too small and the light is not enough. If you can't lift it, I'll replace it with a lighter luminous meteorite. ]

"No, let's take this one." Ah Yu didn't want it to bother anymore, so she took the big night pearl and walked inside.

This is an underground ancient city. As it is now a ruin, most of it has collapsed, but the various stone carvings and buildings around it all show that this place once was extraordinary.

"When I was looking at the map during the day, I felt that the layout here was a bit strange and a large amount of land was wasted. I never thought of this if we hadn't had the experience of going to the underground ancient city before." A Yu talked to Tuanzi as they walked.

After all, I am not very old, and it is inevitable that I feel timid walking alone in this empty and dark place.

Tuanzi: [When you entered here just now, there was an additional clue for the mission, "The Secret of the Ancient City". This should be related to those students.]

"Could it be that the students are being held here?" Ah Yu guessed, "But the route I took before, if you're not a person who can swim well, it would be hard to get in alive."

Most of the students are too weak to even lift a chicken, let alone hold their breath for so long while diving. Wouldn’t they all be dead bodies when they swim over?

Thinking of this, Ayu suddenly understood.

"There must be other entrances and exits."

[There must be other entrances and exits! ]

Ayu and Tuanzi said in unison, and then both started laughing.

This place was really too empty. Ah Yu walked for nearly half an hour before he finally found some new marks.

There was a remnant of candlelight there, which looked like it had been recently lit, but had already burned out.

Going further, she found a dead body.

The body had probably been dead for more than half a month. Because there was no air circulation and no sunlight, the body was not particularly decayed, and its general appearance could be clearly seen.

He was wearing a long robe that students usually like, holding a piece of broken porcelain in his hand, and there were cuts on his neck, with dark blood staining his robe.

A Yu didn't dare to get close to him to take a closer look.

"Is this a student from Fengming City?"

Seeing that Ayu was scared, Tuanzi asked her to go away and scanned the information of the corpse for her.

[He had a wooden sign hanging around his waist. The pattern on the sign was a school in Fengming City. He should be one of the students.]

[Based on the way he died, it seemed like suicide, but there were fractures on his wrist, so it could be a fake suicide.]

"No one outside has seen him here, and it seems that no one has come to collect his body. There is no need to pretend suicide." Ah Yu shook his head and continued to walk forward without stopping. As he walked, he said, "Looking at the footprints on the ground, there should be more than one person here. Let's go check other places first."

She had seen many dead people, so she wasn't scared, but she did feel a little uncomfortable, so it was better to stay away from them.

After walking for about another three quarters of an hour, Ayu heard a deafening snoring sound.

The snoring sound seemed to come from a deep valley, one wave after another, disturbing people very much.

"Xie Changyuan, could you please stop snoring? How can others sleep?" A voice like thunder sounded, and the snoring stopped abruptly.

Then, more voices rang out.

There was also a terrified voice.

"Oh no, you've attracted the black beast!"

The next moment, Ayu heard a rustling sound, as if a large number of animals were approaching quickly.

"What are you doing standing still? Run!"

"Help!"

"Whoever can save you, run!"

A chaotic sound gradually emerged.
