Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 2426 Is this an underground labyrinth?

There should have been a small warehouse behind this door, but at this time there were no water faucets, buckets or the like placed there.Instead, there are rows of wooden planks, and a small ladder leading down.

Seventeen took a look first, and then said: "The door is blocked by a wooden board, and those wooden boards look like they were originally laid on the ground to cover the downward entrance."

That is to say, someone came to this small room, lifted up the wooden planks on the ground, blocked the door with one of them, and then went down through the ladder.

And that person should still be below at this time, because the door has never been opened again.

Liu Ya looked at Cang Qianche, and said seriously: "I want to go down and have a look, maybe it's Qiuying."

"I'll go." After Shi Qi finished speaking, he was about to go down.

Liu Ya grabbed him and said: "You have to be careful." Then said: "Wait, I'll call her first, maybe she will give me a signal back."

Then Liu Ya really called Qiu Ying's name twice, and then listened quietly for a while.

But there was no response from below, and there was not even a mouse in the silence.

Cang Qianche said: "Could it be that this is a secret way leading to the outside?"

If it leads to other exits, those who may go down will leave directly from the secret passage, so if this door is blocked, no one will open it.In that case, no matter what Liu Ya called, no one would answer.

Shi Qi didn't delay any longer, he pulled out his dagger and held it with his backhand, lit another torch and started to walk down.

Liu Ya and Cang Qianche were waiting on it, and at the same time, they were also paying attention to the situation outside, in case any accident happened.

As the light of Huozhezi faded away until it disappeared, Liu Ya felt that the time had passed very long, and the bottom seemed too big, right?
After waiting for a while, Liu Ya looked at Cang Qianche and had to shout inside: "Seventeen? What did you find?"

However, Shi Qi also seemed to have disappeared into the darkness suddenly, and there was no response.

This is not right!If there is another exit below, then Shi Qi will definitely come back and say something first, and then decide whether to go out from the other side.

But now there is no response, is something wrong?There should be some movement if something goes wrong, right?

"Che, let's go down too." Liu Ya couldn't wait any longer.They were looking for Qiuying, but now Qiuying has no clues, and Shiqi has disappeared again. This matter is really weird.

Cang Qianche hesitated for a moment, but he knew that it was impossible for Liu Ya to give up on Qiuying or Shiqi.Finally nodded, said: "Okay, Ya'er, follow me closely, let's go down together."

"Okay." Liu Ya was very glad that Cang Qianche agreed to her such a risky decision.He said again: "Wait, we also blocked the door."

After all, Liu Ya found a wooden plank of suitable length, closed the door, and pressed the wooden plank firmly against it.

In this way, there is no need to worry about someone breaking in suddenly and making dumplings for them.

At the same time, they also realized that maybe the person who went down before had the same idea.But after going down, it never came up again.

So, is it just a basement, or a secret passage with another exit?Or, a door leading to danger?

Now, the only way to find the answer is to risk your life.

Cang Qianche was in front, holding the dagger in one hand, and tightening Liu Ya's hand with the other.

Liu Ya was behind holding the fire folder, followed by Cang Qianche, and the two walked down the ladder.

The wooden ladder was not very strong, and the two trembled as they stepped forward, but there was no sound.

The passageway is also obliquely downward, and the ground floor cannot be seen from above, and the ladder is relatively long.It has been five or six meters deep to the end.

The temperature below is very low, like a cellar.But it's also very dry, and it doesn't feel too uncomfortable to walk in, nor is it very cold.

The area that the Huozhezi can illuminate is really limited, so Liu Ya looked around, hoping to find something like a lampstand on the wall, but there was none.

At this time, the tunnel I was in was made of earth and stone. After excavation, no decoration was made, but a few wooden piles were laid for support and reinforcement at intervals.

After walking forward for a certain distance, Liu Ya looked back, and found that the entrance and wooden ladder they came down could not be seen at all.

And the fire pockets in Liu Ya's hand were about to burn out, Liu Ya quickly took out another one, and at the same time said to Cang Qianche: "I don't know how long it is down here, I'm afraid I don't have enough fire pockets."

"Well, I still have two on me." Cang Qianche took out his two fire pockets and handed them to Liu Ya as he spoke.

When Liu Ya took it, she also said: "If I knew I was going to go to the tunnel, I would have brought a few more firecrackers, or a candle."

"Huh?" Cang Qianche suddenly frowned suspiciously, and said, "Ya'er, let's not go forward, the situation is not right."

"What's wrong?" Liu Ya looked around and said, "There is no mechanism here, right?"

Cang Qianche said: "There is indeed no mechanism, and maybe I haven't found the mechanism yet. But this journey is not right."

"What's wrong?" Liu Ya thought for a while, but didn't find any problem, but felt that the tunnel was indeed a bit long.

Cang Qianche explained: "You and I don't have many fire pockets, right?"

Liu Ya said: "Yes. I brought three, didn't you only bring two?"

"The Seventeenth will not have more fire pockets than us. He has been away longer than us. It stands to reason that under such conditions, if there is no light source, we can't see anything with our eyesight. But We haven't seen Seventeen come back now." Cang Qianche's expression became more serious as he spoke.

Liu Ya also felt the seriousness of the matter all at once.

Just think about it, Shi Qi only had two or three fire zippers on his body at most.And since he went down for such a long time, he should have run out of fire pockets long ago, or at most only had one.

So, when Shi Qi knew that without a light source, he would be blind, would he continue to move forward?Certainly not.

If Seventeen had already turned around, or if something happened to him and he had to stay where he was, then Liu Ya and Cang Qianche should have met him when they came down.

But now they have not met, and there is no other fork in this tunnel, which is very strange.

Liu Ya looked around and became vigilant.He asked again: "Che, under what circumstances would a person disappear after walking into it?"

"Tricks will cause this effect, and formations are also fine, but I can only confirm that there are no traps here." Cang Qianche pursed his lips, and said: "Then it is most likely formations."

Another formation appeared, and it was in the tunnel.

Could it be that the master who can form formations is around here?
