Under the guidance of Galo, the three of them came to one of the Sage Statues.
Looking up, the sage statue was still high up in the sky. Time had washed its body, leaving mottled traces of the wind and the sun.
Jialuo walked to the bottom of the statue and touched the base of the statue. Soon, she found the switch.
He pressed down lightly, and a stone door creaked as it opened with difficulty from not far away.
This was a secret mechanism!
There was actually a secret passage here?
No one had expected that there was a world beneath the majestic sage statue.
"Come down quickly. It must be safe inside.”Jialuo took the lead and walked towards the tunnel leading underground.
Hua Mulan and Su Yu followed closely behind, while Kai covered the rear.
The four of them walked into the dark underground tunnel, and the pungent smell of dust hit their faces.
From the looks of it, no one had stepped foot here for many years.
"Jialuo, how did you find this place?”Hua Mulan asked curiously.
Jialuo smiled." This is a tunnel that my father and I found by chance when we were playing hide-and-seek when we were young.”
"At that time, I was only seven years old, and the Thousand Caves City was still prosperous."
As he spoke, his eyes turned slightly red.
It had been seven years since she left this sad place!
Although she hadn't returned for seven years, she still felt a little sad when she suddenly saw the grass and trees that were engraved in the depths of her memory.
At this moment, a pair of warm hands patted her back and Su Yu comforted her gently. "Jialuo, don't be sad. I miss you when I see things, because my old friend is not here.”
"I remember hearing this saying somewhere. Our names will be destroyed in the wildfire, and the soul of our hometown will be revived with the grass and trees on the plains.”
"If your father was still alive and saw your achievements today, he would definitely be proud of you!”
Jialuo suddenly turned around and looked at Su Yu.
When Su Yu blurted out those words, Jialuo was stunned.
This sentence was so familiar. He seemed to have heard it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it at the moment.
His words were like a seductive hand, stirring up Jialuo's heart that had been sealed for a long time.
No one knew how many years it had been since she had been alone and helpless.
This was the first time in seven years that she had experienced the feeling of being understood.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. His fantasy was soon shattered by Kai's voice.
"Hey, look, this doesn't seem to be a sealed space. There seems to be a way in!”
Hua Mulan followed them. As expected, two holes appeared in front of them.
"Jialuo, come and take a look. Where do these two roads lead to?”
Jialuo gave Su Yu an apologetic look and walked to the front.
Frowning slightly, Jialuo was also surprised by the scene in front of him.
When she was young, she had played catching the hidden treasure with her father and accidentally discovered this secret passage.
However, at that time, she was young and afraid of the dark. She did not have the courage to go deeper into the tunnel, so she did not know that there were two more entrances in the depths of the tunnel.
"I've never been here before."
"I only know that there is a hidden passage under the third sage statue.”
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Even Jialuo didn't know the direction of the cave entrance. Should they continue to move forward?
" Marshal," Kai said," for safety's sake, why don't we rest here for the time being and wait for the Demon Seeds to relax a little before heading to the city to find the location of the Heaven's Vault Library?"”
"Since we're staying here, why don't we take a walk inside?" Su Yu suggested. Perhaps there might be some unexpected discovery?”
"I think Su Yu has a point. General, why don't we take a look inside?”said Jia Luo.
Hua Mulan hesitated for a moment." Alright, then we'll continue to walk in and take a look. However, if anything happens, we'll have to retreat immediately.”
"We must not let those Demon Seeds discover our traces. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome.”
" Don't worry," Jialuo comforted." There shouldn't be any danger in this tunnel." After all, there were definitely very few people who knew about this secret passage.”
"Moreover, so much time has passed. No one has come to this secret passage in seven years, so there won't be any danger."
After making their preparations, the four of them once again fell into a difficult problem.
The two entrances led to different directions. Should they move together or split into two teams and advance at the same time?
"How about this, Kai, you follow me to the left passage.”
"Jialuo, you and Su Yu go to the right tunnel.”Hua Mulan said.
She wasn't worried about Su Yu's strength at all. Since he could kill a low-level silver boss in seconds, he shouldn't be weaker than the generals guarding the Beacon Tower.
"Everyone, calculate the time accurately. In an hour, we will gather here again and share the information we have obtained.”
"If the other team doesn't appear on time, immediately go to support them.”
"Everything must be safe!"
