Atsu's behavior naturally attracted the attention of everyone in this secret passage. Old Ma and White Lotus both walked over and looked at the place where Atsu barked and pressed its feet. Lu Chen walked up and looked at it carefully. He felt that it was a little familiar.
The stone in front of him was like a section of a stone pillar that had been cut off. It was not so conspicuous in a pile of rubble, but when he touched it with his palm, he could still feel the smoothness and fineness that was different from the surrounding areas.
Lu Chen quickly remembered that when he came here for the first time, he had also noticed this place. However, after the last inspection, he did not find anything suspicious. At the same time, he did not find any clues in other places, so he left here.
However, he did not expect that Atsu would also be interested in this round stone today. Judging from its appearance, it went straight to this stone as soon as it arrived. It did not even look at other places. Could it be that there was something special about this stone that made it so obvious that he could not see it?
Lu Chen thought for a moment and could not help but turn to Old Ma and White Lotus and said, "Do you two see anything wrong with this stone?"
Old Ma and White Lotus walked to his side. Old Ma looked at it carefully for a while and touched the stone with his hand. After a while, he shook his head and said with a trace of doubt, "I can't see it."
Lu Chen looked at White Lotus again. White Lotus walked up calmly, patted, touched, and looked at it. Then she turned back and said to him, "This stone is not strange."
"Oh." Lu Chen was also speechless for a moment. He walked forward and began to touch the stone himself. In any case, there must be something strange about Atsu looking for this stone as soon as it arrived.
Behind him, Atsu had already walked to the side and was lying on the ground. It raised its head and looked at White Lotus. White Lotus coughed and walked over to touch Atsu's head. She said to it very affectionately, "Atsu, are you hungry? I will find the best and most delicious demon beast meat for you later, okay?"
"Woof!" Ah-Tu barked and put his head back on the ground.
…
Lu Chen touched the wall for a long time, but still could not find anything suspicious. It seemed that the round stone was just a stone that fell into this stone wall by accident. There was nothing too strange about it.
He shook his head and was about to give up and let Ah-Tu check out other places in this secret passage. Suddenly, the torches in their hands that had been burning quietly suddenly flickered in this quiet secret passage.
Atsu, who had been lying lazily on the ground, suddenly pricked up its ears and raised its head. It seemed to have sensed something and was a little confused.
After a moment, Atsu suddenly jumped up from the ground and barked at Lu Chen with a loud and ear-piercing voice.
"Woof woof woof woof woof woof …"
Lu Chen and the others were startled and turned around to look. However, before they could react, all the earth and walls in this underground passage, including the wall of rubble, suddenly shook violently. At the same time, from a place that seemed to be very, very far away, an incomparably loud and muffled sound rang out.
It was like the roar of a giant beast that had been hibernating deep underground for thousands of years. It penetrated directly into the ears and made one's heart jump. Immediately after, the entire ground began to tremble. It was as if a wave was surging out of the deep soil like a flood, rushing in all directions.
The secret passage began to shake violently, and they could hardly stand still. Accompanied by the incessant barking of Atsu, large and small stones fell from above, as if the cave was about to collapse.
Lu Chen shouted, "Go, it's going to collapse!"
Old Ma and White Lotus turned and ran, and Lu Chen and Atsu followed behind. At this time, as the secret passage shook more and more violently, a strange heat wave seemed to spread from the ground, and in the blink of an eye, the place was as hot as a steamer.
Old Ma ran desperately towards the exit, cursing, "What the hell, is there an underground volcano?"
Bai Lian snorted beside him, as if she was very disdainful of his words. In the blink of an eye, she saw that the exit of the secret passage had already appeared in front of them. Bai Lian exerted strength in her legs and suddenly flew out. Like a streak of white light, she flew to the exit in an instant and then turned around and jumped out.
"You run so fast …" Old Ma rolled his eyes. Among the three of them, his cultivation was obviously the weakest. Even his speed of running for his life seemed to be the slowest. But at this time, he could not care so much, and ran desperately with all his strength.
However, things like talent and cultivation were really everywhere. In the blink of an eye, Lu Chen had also caught up. When he overtook Old Ma, he even had the time to look back and smile at him.
Old Ma was furious, cursing as he ran, "It's so unfair. You talented people can even run faster than us. Do you want us mortals to live?"
Lu Chen laughed, paused slightly, and stretched out his hand to support Old Ma's back. Old Ma only felt a force suddenly added to his body, and suddenly his pace doubled. In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the exit of the secret passage, and saw the light outside.
Old Ma laughed, and said, "Good brother!"
Lu Chen pushed him out, and was about to go out and scold him, when suddenly he seemed to think of something. "Eh?" He stopped and looked back.
Atsu had disappeared!
In that split second, when everyone was running for their lives, Atsu, who originally ran out with him, suddenly disappeared.
Lu Chen's face suddenly became gloomy. He was very clear about Atsu's current strength. Back in the Nanjiang and the Great Snow Mountain, in terms of escaping, perhaps the three people present today could not compare to this black dog. But why did it not follow them?
Old Ma's voice came from outside, shouting, "Come out, Lu Chen!"
Lu Chen did not answer, but looked into the depths of the secret passage. He saw that in the depths of the passage, which was still shaking violently, there seemed to be a black shadow that looked like Atsu. It stopped in the secret passage, but turned around and looked at the place where the broken stone wall was.
At this time, a strange red moonlight suddenly and strangely appeared in the depths of the darkness.
"Boom!"
There was a loud noise, as if something above had fallen. Listening to the movement, it seemed that the peach tree, which had always been in full bloom, had fallen in this unexpected earthquake.
Old Ma's voice was filled with anxiety. Obviously, he, who was standing outside, did not know why Lu Chen was still in the secret passage, including the Black Dog. Old Ma raised his voice and shouted anxiously,
"Come out, Lu Chen, the cave is about to collapse!"
Below the cave, the strange red moonlight was getting brighter and brighter. Gradually, a trace of outline emerged and reflected on the broken stone wall. The source of the moonlight was the strange round stone.
Atsu stood in the violently shaking cave, looking a little hesitant. It looked back at Lu Chen, but the blood red moon in front of it seemed to be an irresistible temptation. So after a moment of hesitation, Atsu turned back and walked into the depths of the cave again.
The black figure was about to walk into the darkness, into the strange blood shadow.
Lu Chen gritted his teeth, glanced at the blood moon expressionlessly, and then jumped up again without hesitation, rushing in the direction where Atsu ran.
Even if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing, he would catch this damn, stupid dog that had gone through life and death with him!
