Hailing barren city

Tao Rujiu immediately told Ling Li about this guess, and the man thought it was quite reasonable after a little thought, so they entered the red coffin in the small door and went down to the second floor.

Sure enough, at the starting point of the Thousand Hands Corridor, Ling Li saw a straight umbrella discarded on the ground.

In the flashlight circle that swayed with the breathing of the two, the umbrella lay quietly on the open space in front of Tao Rujiu's feet.The rain bleeds around in a wet streak.Ling Lizhao saw that the drawer of the service desk by the wall had been opened, and Wang Baihu obviously took two electronic torches and continued to move forward.Considering that the umbrella was in the way, I left it here and took it away when I waited for the return journey.

"I guess they are not far ahead." Tao Rujiu said softly to Ling Li. "It takes a few steps to catch up."

But the man disagrees with his assumption.

"Listen to the voices around you," he said.

Although he didn't understand Ling Li's intention, Tao Rujiu calmed down and listened for a while.

The surroundings are very quiet, because it is the second floor underground, so even the sound of rain is isolated.

"I didn't hear anything." Tao Rujiu honestly expressed his thoughts.

"That's right." With a serious face, he shone the flashlight towards the end of the corridor.All that can be seen is a pair of turquoise artificial arms on the wall, hanging in mid-air.

"There was no sound, no words, and there was no sound of Wang Baihu's footsteps."

These sharp words were like a knife, revealing the crisis beneath the calm surface.

A couple of men and women who arrived only ten to fifteen minutes earlier than them, made fun of each other as they walked, and even stopped halfway to warm up.Logically speaking, Ling Li and Tao Rujiu should have already caught up.

But the fact is: needless to say Wang Baihu's figure, there is not even a voice around him.

"It's really too quiet." Tao Rujiu lowered his voice and asked Ling Li: "What do you think will happen?"

"I don't know." The man replied truthfully, "This is also the first time I have encountered such a thing. It seems that the two of them may really be in trouble. And we..."

Having said that, he paused sharply, and suddenly stretched out his hand to hold Tao Rujiu's.This is not an ordinary handshake, but forcibly fastened his five fingers to Tao Rujiu's five fingers, forming a firm lock.Tao Rujiu withdrew his hands in surprise, but after feeling the warmth of the opponent's palm, he became obsessed with this stable feeling and no longer avoided it.

In the darkness, a harsh voice sounded softly in his ear:

"We can't stay in the light all the time, it's safer to turn off the flashlight now."

Tao Rujiu understood the sharp idea, turning off the flashlight and walking in the dark sounds scary, but in fact it is a safer choice.

So they both turned off the flashlights, and the boundless darkness around them immediately gathered like a tide. Tao Rujiu felt like a child swimming in the water for the first time, panicked by the cold and bitter sea water.

In the cold darkness, only the hands that hold Ling Li are still warm,

Ling Li sensed Tao Rujiu's fear, and gropingly put his other hand on Tao Rujiu's shoulder.

He whispered to him, "You said you wouldn't be a drag, and you said you wouldn't be a coward, didn't you?"

Tao Rujiu nodded in the dark.

"Nodding is not enough, prove it to me now..."

As he spoke, Ling Li suddenly raised his hand to touch Tao Rujiu's cheek, then bent down and made an unexpected movement.

He unexpectedly bit Tao Rujiu's ear pinna hard.

The damp heat and tingling pain from the pinna made Tao Rujiu's heart beat wildly, not because he was afraid of the pain, but because this overly intimate behavior was like a boulder smashing into the young man's heart.

Fortunately, it was pitch black now, and Ling Li couldn't see the flush on his face.Tao Ru leaned against the wall weakly as before, and only after a long time did he growl bitterly; "You're sick! Biting is fun!"

He smiled sharply in the dark, and replied, "Bite you. Give you a little bit of my bravery."

The two adjusted their mentality for a while at the starting point of the Thousand Hands Corridor, especially Tao Rujiu, who repeatedly hinted that he could no longer be intimidated.After a minute or two, with Ling Li taking the lead, they began to grope forward again. The unlit underground palace was almost invisible.Only a few skylights leading to the first floor are opened on the ceiling, and a faint blue light is faintly screened in.The walking of the two people is almost a process of using both hands and feet. Although the walls of the Thousand Hands Corridor are full of sensual and cold artificial arms, it is better to be hit by them than to bump here and there with only your feet.

"Turn off the flashlight and we can hardly see anything, so how can we find Wang Baihu and the others? Maybe we don't know when we walk around them!" Tao Rujiu suddenly thought of this question as he walked.

"You don't have to worry about that." Ling Li replied, "You look up."

Tao Ru looked up as usual, and found that the walls of the maze were only about two meters high, and the ceiling above his head was connected to each other to form a plane.Between the pitch-black cement and pipes is a faintly visible gray-white hanging curtain.

There was no abnormality on the top of the head, but when he moved his gaze to a farther place, the young man found a faint green light reflected on the ceiling over there.

"It's an electronic torch!"

Tao Rujiu shouted involuntarily, but his mouth was covered sharply, and he yelled softly beside him: "Look at that green light, does it move?"

Tao Rujiu looked further away, and the green light was about 20 meters away from them.At first glance, it seemed to be stationary, but after holding my breath for a while, I realized that there were actually two green beams of electronic torches slowly separating, one of which was stationary, while the other was moving towards the south.

"The moving torch seems to be getting darker and darker." After observing for a while, Tao Rujiu came to such a conclusion.If Wang Baihu was holding the torch, why would he leave his girlfriend alone.And where is he going?

"That direction is the Dragon Scale Blood Pool." Ling Li said with certainty.

Although Tao Rujiu hadn't finished the second floor of the underground palace, he had carefully read the information provided by the control room.The Dragon Scale Blood Pool is an independent and closed long and narrow chamber.In the center of the secret room is a one-meter-wide single-plank bridge.There is water at a depth of one meter under the bridge, and through the effects of lights and other props, it simulates the appearance of a blood-red deep pool.There are organs ambush in the pool, which are frighteningly activated by the hidden sensors on the single-plank bridge.And the theory of dragon scales is because there are three extremely huge and hideous dragons on the high walls on the left and right sides of the secret room.When the tour is open, the clamping wall to which the giant dragon clings will press towards the center. The giant dragon opens its teeth and claws, urging the blood pool to rise and fall, and the mechanisms in the pool are linked.Coupled with sound effects, there is even more screaming horror.

For Tao Rujiu and Ling Li, the most important thing is that the Dragon Scale Blood Pond is a dead end.

Why did Wang Baihu or his girlfriend go down this dead end?

Although Tao Rujiu didn't understand the reason behind it, just thinking about the possibility of it made his hair stand on end.However, at this moment, in the dead air, there suddenly appeared another voice that had made him uneasy.

sound of water.

It was the sound of water he heard when he entered the underground palace for the first time, only louder and more urgent.It was as if the water had flowed to his feet.

"Ling Li, do you hear..." He held the man's hand and it became cold, and at the same time, he felt a thin layer of sweat from the man's palm.

"Sound of water." Ling Li affirmed the voice Tao Rujiu heard. "Maybe it's raining, which makes the underground river full of water." However, after a while, he said strangely, "The river is still some distance from the second floor. It will definitely rain for a day or two. It’s not going to make it to the second floor.”

"Stop talking, it gets weirder the more you talk about it." Tao Rujiu shook his sharp hand to stop him from thinking, "Anyway, let's go and see the person who hasn't moved."

Nodding sharply, the two walked towards the green light.Perhaps because they all had a bad premonition, their footsteps all rushed together.However, not far from their heads, the moving green light was still swallowed up by the towering walls of the Dragon Scale Blood Pool.
