"Right."

Lu Siya said thoughtfully, "The leprosy village and the Chaocheng gang have been hostile to each other for decades, and the fire in the leprosy village has become more and more intense. It is not that easy to join forces without any grudges. Without a god like 'Can Jian' Ye Xiaoyue,

If a powerful person is in charge, the two sides might even get into trouble.

"We can wait until we find out who this so-called 'Aji' kid is!"

Together with Meng Chao, she got into the fork in the road that was too dark to see.

At the end of the forked road, there is a three-dimensional maze that seems to be soaked in ink.

The air-raid shelters, shelters and underground transportation passages that have been developed as early as the Earth era are entangled with the tunnels that have been drilled day and night by the residents of the Nest City for half a century, which is enough to make the snakes, insects, rats and ants living underground feel dizzy.

On the surrounding walls, mottled writings left over from the earth's era suddenly flashed: sometimes there were "crackling" emergency lights flashing randomly, like ghost eyes; sometimes there were random cuts on the rock wall full of cracks.

Occasionally, a few deformed insects with two heads and three tails would emerge from the cracks in the rock, but they did not dare to provoke the two extraordinary beings, and quickly crawled away with their tails wagging.

Along the way, the two encountered at least seven or eight bifurcations.

Fortunately, Meng Chao left red jade powder on Aji's shoulder, otherwise, even if hundreds of people came down, they would be trapped in this enchanted formation.

Even sensing the ripples emitted by the red jade, they climbed up and down, twisting and turning for a long time.

In the end, I hit a dead end.

Except for the path behind you, the front, left, right, and top and bottom are all dark rock walls without any trace of manual excavation.

The ripples emitted by the red jade were interrupted here, as if Aji miraculously disappeared after arriving here.

"Strange, my perception should be correct."

Lu Siya frowned slightly, "Aji must have run here. There is not even a hole in the surrounding rock walls. Even if he turned into smoke, he would have nowhere to escape?"

"I also sensed the energy released by the red jade."

Meng Chao looked around and said thoughtfully, "Sister Ya, do you know our current specific coordinates?"

Lu Siya is a prospector by background.

As an expert who often has to stay around underground spiritual veins for ten days and a half or even longer, searching for mineral veins and ways out in interlocking maze-like caves, her sense of spatial orientation is naturally

Far more than ten times that of ordinary people.

No matter how complex the man-made maze is, it is still not as good as the natural caves that often stretch for hundreds of miles.

Therefore, Lysiya firmly remembered their route and drew a three-dimensional map based on the route, clearly marking their current coordinates.

"Although we have been wandering underground for a long time, the straight-line distance is not too far away from the Alloy Arena. It is at most three to four hundred meters, right here..."

Lysiya pointed to a point on the three-dimensional map and said, "But it's really deep here, at least more than two hundred meters underground."

Meng Chao also studied the topographic map of Chao City.

The Alloy Arena is located in the most prosperous location of Nest City, and he is very familiar with the surrounding terrain and important facilities.

Therefore, it can be seen at a glance: "Hey, aren't we right below the headquarters of the Gold Teeth Gang?"

Lu Siya was slightly startled. When Meng Chao said this, she also realized: "Yes, impartial. We are right under the Golden Tooth Gang. Is this... a coincidence?"

"I'm afraid not."

Meng Chao was moved in his heart and said, "Su Lun said that since his mother's death, there have been no such powerful alchemists who can help Jin Wanhao prepare secret medicine to suppress his injuries based on his condition. Jin Wanhao's physical condition has plummeted, and his personality has also changed."

He is becoming more and more eccentric. Except for particularly important occasions, he usually lives in seclusion and avoids seeing people.

"Especially on his 70th birthday last year, he suffered an injury and vomited blood at the birthday banquet in front of guests from major gangs, which exposed his very weak side.

"Since then, he has become particularly sensitive, irritable and surly.

"He and Su Lun's mother originally built a large laboratory with very advanced facilities and a high degree of automation right below the headquarters of the Golden Teeth Gang to help him heal and practice.

"Realizing that he was not going to die soon, Jin Wanhao locked himself in this underground laboratory without leaving home. He also reinforced and sealed the laboratory, transforming it into an airtight chamber, and even

Like his... grave.

"Among all the middle and high-level members of the Gold Tooth Gang, only 'Red Eyebrow' Su Lun has received his special favor. He can occasionally enter the periphery of this laboratory to help him convey orders and news, transport supplies to him, etc.

"The rest of the people, even old brothers like Song Jinbo who have followed him for decades, can't easily see Jin Wanhao.

"And even Su Lun couldn't open the last door to the laboratory. Seeing the haggard and dying true face of 'Bad Sword' Jin Wanhao, he could only communicate with Jin Wanhao through a wall and through a special device.

"Jin Wanhao told Su Lun that the last door to the laboratory would either be opened from the inside, or it would be opened automatically after he dies and senses that his heartbeat, breathing and brain waves all return to zero - only this

Two ways.

"Perhaps, for this lifelong hero who has killed too many people and made too many enemies, this is the only way to feel the slightest bit of safety?

"At that time, Su Lun had already surrendered to the monster civilization and was determined to help the alien beast 'Whirlpool' destroy the nest city. Jin Wanhao took the initiative to hand over the power and huddled underground, playing into his hands. He was happy before it was too late. Naturally, there was no reason to stop Jin Wanhao from doing this.

Do.

"So, he just pretended to persuade Jin Wanhao for a few words, and no longer cared about the underground emperor who was seriously injured and mentally disturbed.

"Anyway, the underground laboratory is filled with the highest-grade ingredients and cultivation resources, enough for Jin Wanhao to consume for a long time, and the fully automated medical facilities can monitor his physiological parameters at all times and let Su Lun know his condition.

"Based on the changes in physiological parameters, Jin Wanhao fell into a coma a few months ago. His current condition is worse than a vegetative state. It is estimated that he will die of multiple organ failure before long.

"After Song Jinbo and other members of the Jinya Gang learned the news, they also rushed to the door of the underground laboratory to take a look. It was indeed a very strong door. Unless several tons of high-purity spar bombs were used to destroy the alloy door,

It will also blow up the surrounding buildings into the sky, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to open.

"The location we are in seems to be under Jin Wanhao's 'grave'. Isn't this too weird?"

"Meng Chao, come and take a look."

While listening, Lu Siya searched around, as if she had found something, and waved to Meng Chao.

Meng Chao ducked over to take a look, and found that Lu Siya had found another piece of red jade powder, which was stuck to the black rock wall.

"It... seems to be hollow inside."

Lu Siya pressed her hands against the rocks surrounding the red jade powder, not sure.

Meng Chao moved his fingers and rubbed them carefully on the rock.

As a reaper, his fingers have extremely keen perception and can identify the slightest unevenness on the surface of objects through subtle differences in touch.

Even the bumps and grooves that are difficult to detect with a microscope can be felt out by him.

"Here... there is one crack, and another, four in total, like a door frame. This is not a rock, but a secret door!"

Meng Chao tried to exert force on the rock.

The rock was motionless.

He exerted force left and right, trying to make the rock rotate, or sucking outward, trying to "pull" the rock out.

The rock remained motionless, as if it had blended into the surrounding rock walls.

"No, there are very sophisticated mechanisms inside. Unless a mechanical master is proficient in this, it will be extremely difficult to open this secret door." Meng Chao said depressedly.

"I'll try."

Lysiya pressed her hands on the rock again.

Wisps of spiritual lines spread from her palm prints and penetrated through the gaps around the secret door that were invisible to the naked eye.

Soon, the rock quietly turned into a pile of black gravel, flowing away like thick mud, revealing a new passage.

Meng Chao scratched his head.

I almost forgot, Lysiya is a master at manipulating rocks.

Faced with this kind of mechanism made of rocks, there is no need to know the opening method or the structure of the mechanism, and it can be cracked violently using the simplest method.

He stretched out his head and glanced at the passage behind the secret door.

Meng Chao smelled a rotten smell that was slightly bloody.

Just like a torture chamber that has been used for decades, or a prison where hundreds of innocent souls died.

Meng Chao couldn't help but shiver.

He accidentally touched Lu Siya's arm.

I found that Lu Siya also had goosebumps all over her body.

The perception of danger caused the two of them to take a step back at the same time, glance at each other, and tense their muscles.

"If I guess correctly, this secret passage should lead directly to the underground laboratory of Jin Wanhao, the 'Bad Sword', which is where he is buried."

Meng Chao murmured, "If the underground emperor of Longcheng had a premonition that he was about to die soon and wanted to sleep undisturbed in the tomb he carefully built, why would this tomb have another entrance besides the main entrance?

What about a secret passage leading directly to the outside world?

"And who is 'Aji', and why does he know the secret passage leading directly to the tomb of 'Ba Dao' Jin Wanhao, and also knows how to open the secret passage?"

"I'm also curious about your question."

Lu Siya said quietly, "However, I have an immature suggestion. The two of us should not continue to move forward. We should go back the same way and find 'Ghost Bear' Xiong Wei and 'Can Jian' Ye Xiaoyue, and bring a few hundred more with us."

It will be safer if all the Mingchao City soldiers come down together, what do you think?"

"agree."

Being blown by the dark wind at the end of the secret passage, Meng Chao felt a faint sting like a needle pricking in his bone marrow.

He nodded, huddled with Lysiya, faced the dark entrance of the secret passage, and slowly backed away.

At this moment, a piercing scream suddenly came from the end of the secret passage.

Meng Chao's expression suddenly changed.
