Chapter 486: Not a city gate

Xu Zhao took the lead, and everyone changed their flashlights into headlamps and jumped off one by one.

"I…"

As soon as Yun Yi opened his mouth, he heard his voice echoing throughout the space, and he quickly covered his mouth.

But without him opening his mouth, others knew what he was going to say.

 Because they also want to express their feelings at this moment.

 The interior of the passage is not completely enclosed. Every time they walk a short section, they will see a hole the size of their head.

Looking out from the entrance of the cave, you can see the trunks of petrified trees criss-crossing each other. Some of them even extend so long that even the light of a flashlight cannot find their branches.

The densely packed tree trunks not only extended wildly in the hollow underground, but also supported the platform they had just descended from.

As you go down, you can feel that the trunk of the tree is getting thicker and the hole is getting bigger and bigger.

It’s almost big enough for a person to get out with his shoulders hunched.

But at this moment, we don’t know if there is any danger outside, so everyone still walks down the dug-out stairs honestly.

It was so quiet that only the sound of footsteps echoed in the petrified tree trunk space. Jiang Lingxi looked at the inner walls on both sides as she walked, but this time she did not see the mark left by Shen Yunqing.

However, it is also understandable that such a huge petrified tree, not only now, but also in her previous life, can be called auspicious.

Even the steps carved out of the tree trunk made her feel like she wasted her resources.

 If any human traces are added, it will be a kind of destruction.

 “It’s over.”

As he spoke, Xu Zhao changed his headlamp to a flashlight, illuminated the cylindrical space in front of him, turned to look at Jiang Lingxi who was following behind, "It's incredible."

He has seen a lot in this job, but what he saw and heard this time refreshed his understanding.

The underground ruins that can only be accessed through quicksand, the petrified tree supporting the huge platform, and the stairs hidden in the trunk of the petrified tree, no matter what, this was the first time in his life.

 When I arrived at Yunyi, I was no longer so reserved, "It's worth coming, it's worth it!"

Compared with this experience, the previous desert adventures felt so weak.

 “It’s already past twelve o’clock now, and I’m not sleepy at all!”

"You are so stimulated that your brain nerves are extremely active." Chang Ning rolled his eyes at him and took two steps forward to Jiang Lingxi. "Sister Xixi, should we rest here first, or go out to find Mr. and the others directly?"

 “Rest where you are for a quarter of an hour before setting off.”

Yunyi immediately sat down against the wall of the petrified tree.

But his hands were not idle either. He touched the tree wall behind him and touched the ground, getting a hand full of fine sand.

“Look, the sand is indeed leaking from above. But there is a little less here. Did all the sand leak out before?”

The person sitting next to him looked at him and said, "Maybe."

Jiang Lingxi sat down next to the only hole in the bottom space.

 Perhaps it is near the exit, where there is the least amount of sand.

As soon as she sat down, she noticed a small bump under the palm of her hand that was resting on the ground. She raised her hand to take a flashlight and saw a small, round white stone, about the size of her thumb, embedded in the soft sand. Half buried.

If you encounter a building such as a temple or a house in the wild, you will choose to rest behind the door. Not many people know this, and Shen Yunqing is one of them.

Are you sure that even if she stops here to rest, she will choose it next to the entrance of the cave?

Fifteen minutes passed in a blink of an eye. After a brief refill of water, Jiang Lingxi held the small stone and bowed her head slightly before exiting the cave.

 Looking up, you can see the tall city gate standing not far ahead.

“I didn’t realize how big the city gate was when I looked down from above, but now I look closer, it’s really big.”

Xu Zhao took a few steps forward and shined his flashlight on the city gate. After looking at it carefully for a moment, he frowned and said, "That's wrong." "That's wrong? What's wrong?"

 “This city gate seems different from what I saw above before.”

Yunyi's eyes widened, "You can see all this? What's the difference?"

Xu Zhao shook his head, "It just doesn't feel right. As for what's different, I can't tell."

 “Not the same city gate.”

Jiang Lingxi looked at everyone who was begging for explanation and said, "Go in first."

This is an ancient city gate after all, and she couldn't be more familiar with it.

 “The door is not closed, just push it.”

This time no one asked how they could tell that the door was open, so they just rolled up their sleeves and pushed the door open.

 After the door was pushed out to create a gap that could allow people to pass through, everyone entered one after another.

The flashlight showed a straight street ahead. The houses on both sides of the street were also very neat. I don’t know if it was because they were well preserved underground. Even the doors and windows were not damaged.

 It's just that as far as the eye can see there is deathly silence.

Yun Yi couldn't stand the silence, so he asked aloud as he walked forward: "Wait a minute, I suddenly remembered that since we and the people from Changcang Gate entered through a different city gate, will we be able to enter the city in a short time? Can’t reach them?”

 “You will always encounter it.”

 Another part of the ruins.

 Chong Shi also just asked Yin Chong a similar question.

“Even if Miss Jiang’s team came down later than us, they should have caught up with us after more than an hour. There is no movement from behind now. Is it possible that they can find other ways?”

Yin Chong opened his eyes, which were closed to rest, and watched Chong Shi walking around in front of him, "What do you care about them?"

“I’m afraid they’ll sneak up behind and do something evil!” Chong Shi stared and patted the table, “It’s all a mess down here. No matter how strong we are, we have to compromise here. I don’t want the ship to capsize.”

"That's what I think. Why don't we send a few people out to look for them and kill them if they can. It's much more convenient to do it here than on the ground. We don't need to deal with the bodies. Even if we can't kill them for a while, we You can also be prepared.”

“If you want to send someone, you can only send your people, and my people can only follow me.”

Zhong Shi sniffled and took two heavy breaths, "Okay, when the time comes, when you go to the sect master, don't take credit from me."

Yin Chong couldn't help laughing when he heard what he said, "Of course not."

Chong Shi was puzzled by his laughter, cursed secretly, and hurriedly turned around and went out to make arrangements.

Naturally, she didn't hear what Yin Chong said softly after her: "You will definitely encounter her."

Both teams were not walking very fast. After all, they had just entered, so it was always right to be cautious.

Even when Yun Yi went to explore the houses on both sides of the street, he was stopped by Jiang Lingxi when Yun Yi wanted to open the door and go in for the first time.

 “Knock first.”

 “But no one lives here anymore!”

“Then do you want your territory to be invaded by a group of strangers after thousands of years?”

Yun Yi felt a chill running down his spine.

He looked at the door in front of him and knocked instead, "Excuse me..."

Before he could say "Can I go in and take a look?" behind him, the door in front of him suddenly opened.

Yunyi froze directly at the door.
