Chapter 84 Underground Stairs
This...is the entrance to the dungeon?
Xu Xin used the iron sword in his hand to scratch the door hard, but there was no mark on the door. It just made a harsh and unpleasant scratching sound.
Is this some special metal? If it were made of bronze, his blue-level iron sword would definitely be able to leave marks on the gate.
Moreover, the entrance is too difficult to find, right? If he hadn't had the idea to follow Toad just now, who knows how long he would have spent in the maze and how many unknown dangers he would have encountered.
Xu Xin thought of the rules of this event.
[All survivors who have not found the entrance to the dungeon will leave this beautiful world forever. 】
Now it seems that even this first step may not be completed by many people.
He knew the mysterious voice wouldn't be so kind.
Let him first tell the people in the group how he found the entrance to the dungeon. It is too dangerous for him to go in and explore alone. Helping others enter can at least exchange experiences.
"Everyone, I found the entrance to the dungeon."
[Explorer] was immediately boiling.
Wang Lei: "Damn it! Boss Xu got out of the maze so quickly? I'm still spinning in circles!"
Li Wenxi: "Huh? You obviously entered so much later than me... I am fw, I don't want to work hard anymore, hurry up, tell me how you found it!"
Ji Chaoyang: "You walked out? The passage on my side has become wider, maybe it's in front."
Xu Xin: "That should be right. The right road is indeed very broad."
Wen Guixin: "How did you find it? I've been circling here and killed a lot of mutated animals."
Xu Xin told them his method.
Qin Yunlong: "There is an underground river down here."
Li Wenxi: "So that's it. Oh, I should have known that a monster had just been left."
Zhao Xiaochuan: "But the mouse I met ran too fast. I couldn't catch it if I let it go..."
Wen Guixin: "You're so stupid. You won't let it get seriously injured. It's better to injure its legs and then follow it. But the mouse may not be led in the right direction. It's better to find it like Xu Xin did." Aquatic animals ”
Xu Xin: "Well, I've told you everything that needs to be told, come on."
Xu Xin sent this experience to the regional channel and warned those people that discovering the cracks in the cave does not mean discovering the entrance to the dungeon. You have to pass through the crack maze inside to reach the entrance. At the same time, he also briefly explained the dangers in the maze. For a moment.
As for how many people were still in the tree house and how many people could see it, that was none of his business.
Looking at the gate of the dungeon in front of her, Xu Xin took out various fruits from her backpack to replenish her health. He spent a long time in the maze, and his positive state was basically gone.
Feeling energetic and full of strength again, Xu Xin reached out and grabbed the door handle.
"Keke, is there any danger behind the door?" Xu Xin turned sideways, preventing herself from facing the crack of the door in case something suddenly appeared in the door.
"Huh." Coco shook her head to express that she didn't feel the danger.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Xin used both hands to pull the door knocker outward.
There was a heart-wrenching sound of metal friction, and the door was slowly opened, and countless dust fell and dusted Xu Xin and Coco's faces.
"Bah, bah, bah!" Xu Xin took a bite of ashes, but did not stop his movements. Instead, he increased his strength and opened the door on one side to the limit.
An inexplicable odor emanated from the door. It was different from the smell of red mist. It smelled like a quilt that had been damp for a long time, a damp and moldy smell.
Xu Xin looked inside the door. Inside the door is a long stone staircase.
The stone staircase passage goes all the way down, with no end in sight. The steps are very damp. Water drops fall from the rock wall above the passage from time to time, making a crisp sound when they drip on the damp and water-filled steps.
Both sides of the passage were made of flat gray stone bricks, and there was a candlestick-shaped device every few meters, which seemed to be used to illuminate the passage. However, these candlesticks did not light up at this time, and the passage was still dark. .
It seems that this staircase will lead to a very deep underground.
"Huh..." Coco shrank in fear. This dark environment, coupled with the damp and musty smell, and the sound of dripping water from time to time, is really creepy.
To be honest, after experiencing the underground world last time, Xu Xin also felt a little afraid of this kind of direct underground passage. He was even thinking that since he had found the entrance and would not die, why not just go back?
Of course, this thought only appeared for a moment, and the curiosity and desire to explore the unknown in his heart suppressed the fear. The mysterious voice also said that the dungeons are full of resources left by predecessors. If these resources are obtained, the pressure of survival will be greatly reduced.
After calming down, Xu Xin first threw a stone inside. After discovering that there was no trap, she stepped into the door resolutely.
His feet stepped on the wet steps, making a sound of treading water.
"The stairs here are too slippery. You have to be careful, otherwise you will fall and roll down. You won't be able to stop on such a long ladder." Xu Xin walked carefully step by step.
Coco also saw Xu Xin's difficulty, jumped off his shoulder, and followed him slowly down the stairs.
Suddenly, a gust of wind came from deep inside the stairs, and an orange-red fire suddenly lit up at the dark end of the passage.
"What's going on!" Xu Xin stopped in alarm.
The orange-red fire spread upwards from far below. Only then did Xu Xin see clearly that the candlesticks on both sides of the passage were lit one by one!
Within a few seconds, the candlesticks on both sides of Xu Xin were lit, followed by a strong wind that was damp and musty, almost blowing Xu Xin backwards.
Then, there was a "slam" of the door closing behind him.
"Hey!" Coco was startled and hugged Xu Xin's calf.
"What's going on?" Xu Xin hurriedly looked back. The door he had originally opened had now been tightly closed.
"Is it closed? Can't you get out?" Xu Xin's eyelids twitched. He walked back to the door. There was no knocker on the inside of the door. Xu Xin could only use all his strength to push the door that had just been opened.
As he expected, the door that could be opened just now could no longer be pushed even an inch by him.
"...This is to cut off people's escape!" Xu Xin gritted his teeth and looked into the depths of the passage.
In this situation, we can only go down without looking back.
So, one person and one little panda walked slowly down the stairs.
The interior of the passage was very quiet, with only the slight sound of Xu Xin's footsteps in the puddle on the steps, the sound of water dripping from time to time, and the occasional "crackling" sound of unknown fuel burning in the candlestick.
After walking down at least a hundred stairs, this passage still has no end in sight.
Xu Xin didn't dare to walk any faster. The wet stone steps were really slippery. He almost slipped once just now. Now he had to step on the stone steps sideways to avoid slipping. From time to time, water drops would fall on Xu Xin's head and body, making his hair wet.
Coco is not affected. It always runs forward a dozen steps first, then stops on the steps and tilts its head to look at Xu Xin. Waiting for Xu Xin to catch up, it runs forward a dozen steps again.
After walking for about ten minutes, Coco, who had already run a few steps forward, suddenly turned around and ran back to Xu Xin. He tugged on Xu Xin's trouser legs, pointed to the passage, and whispered: "Hey."< br>
Are there any dangers ahead?
Xu Xin squinted her eyes and looked deep, and found something that seemed to be hanging on the upper edge of the staircase not far ahead.
It's a bit far away and can't be seen clearly.
"Coco, stay with me and don't run any further."
"嘤!"
Coco obeyed and didn't run forward any further. Xu Xin continued to go down the steps steadily, and after advancing a certain distance, he saw the thing hanging above the passage.
"Hiss - such a big bat? And such a large group!?" (End of Chapter)
