Chapter 281: "In between"

"But there are no other branches along the way," Li said puzzled. "Although

there are some twists and turns, I am pretty sure that I haven't seen any

alternative roads."

Xia Fan thought for a moment, "Anyway, the mechanism has been lifted, so we

can return to the original path. By the way, we can check again if we have

missed any details."

This proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone.

However, Luo stopped slightly without taking two steps back.

This time, a rare surprise appeared on her face.

"What's the matter?" Xia Fan stepped forward to take a look, and then froze in

place, only to see the passage that was still there just now, it no longer

exists at this moment, and replaced by a brown stone wall.

"Fuck..." He couldn't help blurting out.

"It's not an illusion," Li said in disbelief, "this wall is real."

"Before this was a curve, we only saw Shimen after we turned around."

All four of them now realize that the purpose of the passage turning here is

to put down the stone wall in an imperceptible situation and cut off the

escape route of the intruder.

"You stand back." Luo gently summoned the dragon scales and slammed into the

stone wall!

After seeing a burst of sparks, Feijian sank deeply into the wall, leaving

only a small gap. There was no fire coming through, indicating that the

thickness of the stone wall was beyond imagination.

This is probably the reason why Luo Qing didn't notice something strange here.

It itself is part of the underground building.

It is not difficult to set up a broken dragon stone alone.

The difficulty lies in how to let it close silently under such subtle

movements. Thinking about it now, it should be the muffled noise when the

Shimen opened, which blocked the noise coming from behind.

"In this way, we can only move on." Xia Fan said.

"Go to that house?"

"Well, I think... the front is not necessarily a dead end. If this place is

designed to trap the intruders to death, there is no need to build a dark room

with its own lighting. There is also a fire sign on the door. It’s also very

strange, it shouldn’t have been engraved for no reason.”

"There is no better choice anyway." Qianyan nodded, "Let's go."

Back to the stone room again, Xia Fan finally had the time to look carefully

at its layout-in addition to the four large torches on the wall, there are

four stone buckets below, and the two are facing each other, which seems to be

meaningful. But this is not the most special. On the wall to the left of the

gate, there is a huge statue.

The statue is like a monster sitting on the ground, with a beast head, long

hands and long feet, and something like wings behind it. Under the dim fire

light, its mane-covered face was a bit human, especially the big eyes, which

at first glance looked like protruding human eyes.

I don't know which sculptor was so funny and sculpted a beast head so horribly

and strangely.

On the other side, the fox demon has opened the stone bucket.

"What's inside...something is wrong!"

Luo rushed over gently, frowned and sniffed, "The barrel is filled with

kerosene."

Xia Fan's heart sank.

He came to the other side of the wall and opened the stone bucket. It was full

of black, thick and smelly liquid. Under the reflection of the torch, it

didn't even show a trace of light. This semi-fluid, almost serous, as long as

it sticks to the body, it will burn almost endlessly.

Xia Fan glanced at the torch on the top of his head, "This room is marked with

the meaning of "li". I don't want to say that it is actually a torture room.

When the time is up, we will all be burned to death, right?"

Even if you are lucky enough to not burn to death, then the hot air and the

extremely hypoxic secret room can make life worse than death.

"Just in case, I have frozen them." Qianyan said.

"Well, let's do this first. If you can't find an exit here, let the dragon

scale cut a channel directly on the stone wall." Xia Fan turned around, and

suddenly a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to his head!

At some point, the eyes of the statue changed their position, from looking up

to looking down.

Illusion...?

No, he had specifically looked at the protruding eyes.

The black hole was clearly not facing everyone.

And now, it seemed to stare at them.

"Stay away from the statue!" Before he could think about it, Xia Fan had

already shouted, "There is a problem with that thing!"

At this moment, the statue moved.

It leaned forward, and grabbed the nearest thousand words in it-if that huge

palm caught the living dead, it felt like it could squeeze her into meat sauce

in the next second.

"Shaking technique, streamer!"

"Xianshu, dragon scale!"

Xia Fan and Luo reacted gently.

The flickering electric current and the two flying blades shot at the statue

at the same time. The former had little effect, and it didn’t even slow down

its movement a little bit. The latter had an effect. A palm-wide groove was

cut on each of the statue’s shoulders. . This precise blow was also implicated

in its forward-throwing posture, and its outstretched paw brushed past

Qianyan.

Qianyan snorted coldly, raised his fist and waved towards the opposite door-

the ice gathered in her palm, and in the blink of an eye it became a huge "ice

hammer".

Only heard a bang, the statue was beaten back, and sat down on the ground.

The brute force of the living dead really deserves its reputation!

"What kind of monster is this? Isn't it a stone?" Li exclaimed.

"Sorry, it did not react to any Qi before--" Luo said softly and blamed

himself, "Until now we can observe the existence of Qi. This thing is not a

statue, but a living thing."

"It's not your fault." The fox demon shook his ears. "Since it is alive, can

it be made dead?"

"That said, the hardness of this guy is by no means ordinary." Qianyan

squeezed his fingers. "Even an alchemist who is good at gen-earth art can be

exposed to this kind of touch. It doesn't even drip a drop of blood."

The monster climbed up with a grin. At this moment, it looked less and less

like a statue. The gray shell began to loosen~www.mtlnovel.com~ and turned

into strands of coarse hair. The animal face was more like a monkey with

fangs. Up.

"This guy is too ugly." Li Yan said, "He obviously has a monkey face, but his

teeth are longer than wild boars."

"What are you talking about? Its face is like a monkey?" Luo gently surprised.

"Monkey face, wings, claws... Could this be a monster?"

"What's that?" Xia Fan asked.

"A kind of spirit so rare that only exists in the legend, it is a different

species of ape. Its natural genus is earthquake, and its fur is extremely

tough. It can be described as invulnerable." Luo said gently and quickly, "I

also happened to see it in a book. , And according to that book... this kind

of spirit is cruel and likes to eat people."

Is it an earthquake? Xia Fan thought to himself, so didn't the streamer

technique just have much effect on it?

At this moment, the monster stood up, grinned and let out a low growl, and

electric lights began to flicker around it.

"Attention!" Qianyan reminded.

As soon as her voice fell, a huge thunderball had been ejected from the

opponent's mouth and hit the four of them!
