"But there are no other branches along the way." Li puzzled, "Although there are some twists and turns, I'm sure I haven't seen any optional forks."

Xia Fan thought for a moment, "Anyway, the mechanism has been lifted, so let's go back the same way first. By the way, we can check to see if we missed any details."

This proposal was unanimously agreed by all.

However, before taking two steps back, Luo stopped lightly.

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 that the passage that was there just now no longer exists, replaced by a brown stone wall.

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

"It's not an illusion," Li Xin said, "This wall is real."

"It was a bend here before, and we only saw the stone gate after we turned around."

The four of them now realized that the purpose of turning the passage here was to lower the stone wall in an imperceptible situation and cut off the retreat of trespassers.

"Stand back." Luo lightly summoned the dragon scales, and stabbed at the stone wall!

After a burst of sparks, the flying sword sank deeply into the wall, leaving only a small gap. There was no light from the fire, indicating that the thickness of the stone wall was beyond imagination.

This is probably the reason why Luo Qingqing failed to notice something strange here.

It is itself part of the subterranean construction.

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

The difficulty lies in how to make it close silently under such a slight movement. Thinking about it now, it should be the muffled sound when the stone door opened, masking the noise from behind.

"From this point of view, we can only move forward," Xia Fan said.

"To that house?"

"Well, I think... the front may not be a dead end. If the design here is just to trap the intruders, there is no need to build a dark room with its own lighting. There is also the fire symbol on the door It's also very strange, it should not have been engraved for no reason."

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

Returning to the stone room again, Xia Fan finally had the time to look at its layout carefully—in addition to the four large torches on the wall, there are also four stone barrels below, and the two are facing each other, which seems to mean something. But this is not the most special, beside the wall to the left of the gate, stands a huge statue.

The statue looks like a monster squatting on the ground, with a beast head, long hands and feet, and something like wings behind it. In the dim light of the fire, its mane-covered face unexpectedly looked human, especially its pair of big eyes, which looked like protruding human eyeballs at first glance.

I don't know which sculptor has such a bad taste, and carved a beast head in such a terrifying and weird way.

On the other side, the fox demon has already opened the stone barrel.

"There's something...something wrong with it!"

Luo hurried 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, which was full of black, thick and smelly liquid, which didn't even have a trace of reflection under the light of the torch. This kind of semi-fluid, which is almost a slurry, as long as it sticks to the body, it will burn almost endlessly.

Xia Fan glanced at the torch above his head, "This room is marked with the meaning of leaving, you don't want to say that it is actually a torture room, and burn us all to death when the time is up?"

Even if they were lucky enough not to be burned to death, the hot air and the extremely hypoxic chamber would make life worse than death.

"Just in case, I'll freeze them." Qian Yan said.

"Well, let's do this first. If you can't find an exit here, let Dragon Scale cut a passage 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 statue's eyes changed their orientation, from looking up to looking down.

Illusion...?

No, he had specifically looked at those protruding eyeballs at that time.

The black hole before was clearly not facing everyone.

And now, it seemed to be staring at them.

"Stay away from the statue!" Before he had time to think about it, Xia Fan shouted, "There is something wrong with that thing!"

At this moment, the statue moved.

It leaned forward and grabbed Qianyan who was closest to it—if its huge palm caught a living dead, it felt like it could crush her into a meat paste in the next second.

"Shock technique, Liuguang!"

"Immortal art, dragon scale!"

Xia Fan and Luo reacted gently.

The flickering electric current and the two flying knives shot at the statue at the same time. The former had little effect, not even slowing down its movement a bit. The latter did have an effect, creating a palm-width groove on each of the statue's shoulders. . This precise strike also involved its forward posture, and its outstretched claws brushed past Qianyan.

Qian Yan snorted coldly, raised her fist and swung it towards the opposite door—hard ice gathered in her palm, and it became a huge "ice hammer" in the blink of an eye.

Hearing a bang, the statue was knocked back and fell to 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 really didn't respond to Qi before—" Luo said with a slight tone of self-blame, "I couldn't observe the existence of Qi until now. This thing is not a statue, but a living thing."

"It's not your fault." The fox demon shook his ears, "Since it's alive, why not turn it into a dead one?"

"Having said that, this guy's hardness is by no means ordinary." Qian Yan squeezed his fingers, "Even if an alchemist who is good at Gentu technique, his skin would be torn apart after being hit like this, and it didn't even shed a drop of blood."

The monster crawled up with a grin. At this moment, it looked less and less like a statue. The original gray shell began to loosen and turned into strands of rough hair. The beast face was more like a monkey with fangs.

"This guy is too ugly." Li bared his teeth, "He has a monkey-headed face, but his teeth are longer than wild boars."

"What did you say? Its face looks like a monkey?" Luo slightly surprised. "Monkey face, wings, claws... Could it be that this monster is doing something?"

"What's that?" Xia Fan asked.

"A kind of spirit that is so rare that it only exists in legends. It is a species of ape. Its nature is earthquake, and its fur is extremely tough. It can be said that it is invulnerable." Luo said quickly, "I also saw it in a book by chance. , and according to the records in that book... this kind of spirit is cruel and likes to eat people's hearts."

Is 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 the electric light began to flash around it.

"Attention!" Qianyan reminded.

As soon as her words fell, a huge thunderball spewed out from the opponent's mouth, hitting the four of them straight!
