The delicate boy I picked up after traveling through the book is a big devil

Chapter 224 Underground Passage

Ye Shuangbai ran over breathlessly. He looked at Qingling and said, "The inn matter has been dealt with. Fu and his family haven't returned yet. Should we also go to the Li family to take a look?"

Qing Ling's gaze fell on him, and Ye Shuangbai shuddered inexplicably.

After another subordinate came to report the situation, Qing Ling finally said, "Let's go!"

Then he took Ye Shuangbai out of the alley.

-

"Senior Brother," Ji Qiuyue carefully groped her way forward along the stone walls on both sides.

There are many lamps nailed on the top of the stone wall, but the lamps are not filled with lamp oil, but with fluorescent fist-sized pearls.

If these pearls were placed outside, each one would be worth a thousand gold coins.

But at this moment, they are only used for lighting in this passage.

The stone wall was cold and misty. Although the orb could glow, it was still slightly insufficient for lighting.

Fortunately, the road is flat. As long as you pay attention to the front and there are no obstacles, you can pass.

"Be careful." Shen Shuyuan looked back and said in a low voice.

Ji Qiuyue nodded, but was afraid that her senior brother couldn't see it, so she responded: "Senior brother, you should be careful too."

The passage is not wide, only enough for one person to pass through, but it seems to have no end.

Ji Qiuyue could hardly remember how long she had been walking. If Shen Shuyuan hadn't been blocking her way, she would probably have gone crazy sooner or later.

She never expected to end up like this.

They entered Li's house, originally intending to find out the situation first.

If we can find Mr. Li directly, we will try to persuade him.

Unfortunately, before I even saw anyone, I had already been tricked.

They groped their way to a room. Ji Qiuyue looked around casually and walked to a table that looked like a desk.

Seeing a strange inkstone on the top, she reached out to pick it up, but she suddenly stepped on empty air and fell down without any warning.

Shen Shuyuan had time to grab her, but was dragged down by her.

When Fu Zhenghong entered the mansion, he split up with their troops into two groups, so he luckily avoided the disaster.

The moment they fell, the mechanism above their heads closed again.

Fortunately, Ji Qiuyue reacted in time and used lightness skills to slow down the speed of falling, so he did not fall to his death instantly.

When they reached the bottom and looked up, they saw that it was still at least ten meters high.

It is quite surprising that there is such a huge underground passage under Li’s Mansion.

I don’t know if it is used for escape or for something else?

"Senior Brother, we won't be unable to get out, right?" Ji Qiuyue asked.

The corridor was very quiet. The sound waves from her voice hit the wall and reflected back. Even though she spoke softly, she could still hear it clearly.

Although Shen Shuyuan was unsure for the time being, he still comforted her: "No, Master Fu is outside. If he finds out that we are not here, he will definitely look for us. And there is also Miss Song and the Qingling Sect Leader."

"Even if they find out that we are not here, they won't think of us being underground. How can they rescue us?" Ji Qiuyue was a little depressed.

It was really unbearable for her to be a heroine who was trapped and died here before she could do anything to uphold justice.

After a while, she heard Shen Shuyuan say, "Even if they don't come looking for us, I will definitely let you out."

Ji Qiuyue was stunned. She couldn't see Shen Shuyuan's expression, but she could clearly hear the firmness in his words, which made her feel inexplicably at ease.

"Well, I believe in you, senior brother." Ji Qiuyue said.

Shen Shuyuan was a few years older than her and entered the sect earlier, but his talent was far inferior to hers, and he was not even the strongest in the sect.

But everyone in the sect, from the master and uncle to the younger brothers and sisters, trusted and admired him.

Even his fellow junior brothers and sisters who were better at martial arts than him would never show disrespect to their elders in this way.

Ji Qiuyue is considered to be a strange person in the sect. She has a strange temper and loves to play and have fun. Sometimes her master would shake his head and sigh at her.

Only in front of Shen Shuyuan, she didn't dare to act rashly.

Shen Shuyuan suddenly stopped. Ji Qiuyue behind him was thinking about something and didn't pay attention, so she bumped into his back.

Shen Shuyuan glanced back, but didn't blame her. He just silently took her wrist and said, "Be careful, I feel the wind."

Ji Qiuyue shifted her attention away from her held wrist.

She looked ahead, but it was too dark to see the road ahead. She felt it and said, "Yeah, I felt it too."

She shrugged her nose and said, "This wind has a fishy smell."

Shen Shuyuan said: "Be careful."

"Yeah." Ji Qiuyue responded softly.

The two continued to walk forward. The further they walked, the stronger the wind became and the stronger the fishy smell became.

Ji Qiuyue felt her heart beating very fast, her muscles were tense, and Shen Shuyuan's grip on her wrist also tightened a little.

Finally, they reached the end.

Just looking at the situation in front of them, both of them were shocked.

What kind of scene was this? The spacious room was comparable to their sect's training ground.

There were countless holes all around, just like the one they were in now.

There is a pool in the center of the room, which almost takes up the entire space.

In the middle of the pool, there is a dragon-shaped pillar that can be hugged by two people.

The dragon coiled around the pillar was not an ordinary stone dragon, but a golden dragon.

The tattoo glowed golden, no wonder it was brighter here than in the passage.

It only takes three steps to reach the edge of the pool.

What shocked them was not the huge space, but the strange pool of blood underneath the space.

Ji Qiuyue finally understood where the bloody smell in the wind came from.

It came from this pool of blood.

"Senior Brother, is that all blood?" Ji Qiuyue asked.

Shen Shuyuan looked at the bubbling red liquid in the pool.

At first glance, it does look like blood, but those who know will find that it is somewhat different from blood.

"No, this is the juice of the red mulberry tree." Shen Shuyuan said.

Ji Qiuyue had never heard of this kind of thing and asked in confusion: "Red Wu Teng?"

Shen Shuyuan nodded. "It only grows in the dense forests of the southwest. Its juice is like blood and has a fishy smell. Pythons like it."

After saying that, his expression changed drastically: "Not good, there are so many here, I'm afraid someone did it on purpose."

Ji Qiuyue quickly realized what was happening, but still couldn't believe it: "Are you saying there might be a giant python here?"

Shen Shuyuan couldn't be sure, but it was always right to stay vigilant.

He squatted down and checked the situation on the ground.

There was a paved floor on the ground. He reached out and touched it, then raised his hand and put it under his nose to sniff.

The fishy smell made him frown, and when he looked carefully at the ground, he saw traces of long-term friction.

He stood up, looked at the holes of similar size around him, and said that his guess was correct.

These holes are probably not for people to pass through.

Their current situation is more troublesome than being on the verge of death.

"Senior Brother, there seems to be some movement." Ji Qiuyue said suddenly.

Shen Shuyuan looked at her. Ji Qiuyue held her breath for a moment, then pointed at the hole across the street and said, "There."
