Some things probably couldn't stand up to careful consideration or association. Regardless of whether the truth was really as Lu Chen thought, once he thought of the huge and strangely shaped statue in front of him and the White Tiger statue he saw on the ground of the Immortal City, he immediately felt that everything seemed to be similar.
Originally, the White Tiger Statue in the Immortal City was tall, mighty, and imposing. It was already extremely shocking, and when Lu Chen saw it that day, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration in his heart. At the same time, he felt nostalgic like many people. He really didn't know what kind of powerful ancient race was able to build such a magnificent statue.
Now that he recalled, Lu Chen remembered more details. Although his first impression at that time was that the White Tiger statue was majestic and shocking, in fact, the lower half of the statue was not standing. Lu Chen carefully recalled and confirmed that he really didn't see the feet of the White Tiger statue.
At that time, most people thought that the White Tiger was probably a crouching tiger, a ferocious tiger statue lying on the ground with unparalleled majesty. Even if they didn't see the four legs directly, it was probably the technique used when the statue was carved, so they didn't pay too much attention. However, at this moment, standing in the underground city and looking at the scene in front of him, Lu Chen realized that perhaps many people in the Immortal City were wrong.
Deep underground, there was the other half of the White Tiger statue here.
The White Tiger statue seemed to have passed through two worlds, stepping on both sides of the river. It was unfathomable and unimaginable.
Lu Chen looked at the White Tiger statue for a long time. Then, he suddenly turned around and looked at the surrounding streets.
The statues each occupied half, then what about the city in front of him? Did these countless tall and silent houses have anything to do with the Immortal City on the surface?
…
"Huff, huff …"
Just as Lu Chen was staring at the eerily silent streets and houses in a daze, he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the side. He turned around to take a look and was stunned for a moment!
It was unknown when Ah-Tu had been strolling along the side, sniffing and sniffing along the way. He walked to the side of the huge statue in the center of the city. He raised his head and looked up, as if he was very surprised by such a huge statue, and also a little shocked.
Then, Atsu rubbed its body on the "half" statue and smelled it. Finally, it found a corner and lifted one of its legs to pee for a while.
Lu Chen was speechless for a moment. Seeing that Atsu seemed to be refreshed after peeing, he wanted to say something but stopped. He looked up at the towering statue and was a little worried that he and Atsu would suddenly be crushed to death. Fortunately, it seemed that this statue was temporarily not efficacious, or the unusually lifelike and breathtaking parts were on the ground of the Immortal City, making people feel more comfortable.
"Don't do this in the future." Lu Chen touched Atsu's head and said, "No matter what, you still have to respect such a huge statue."
It was unknown whether Atsu understood or not. It just raised its head and looked at him. After a moment, it suddenly turned its head to look at the other side of the city and let out a low roar.
There was hostility and vigilance in that roar, as if it had discovered something.
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction that Atsu was looking at. Then, he discovered that in this huge cave that was shrouded in blood-red light, other than the cave on the mountain wall that he had just come down from, there were seven or eight similar caves on the mountain wall. There was also a stone staircase that connected to this underground city.
And in the direction that Atsu was looking at, a figure suddenly flashed and walked out of a cave on the mountain wall.
…
Lu Chen's expression changed slightly, and he reacted almost immediately. He stretched out his hand and pulled Atsu. His body bent down and rolled from the middle of the road to the bottom of a house on the side of the street. He used the high wall to hide his body. After a moment, Atsu also ran over quietly.
At this time, in this place, who would suddenly appear?
Lu Chen was not a god. Of course, he did not know what was happening outside at this moment. However, years of being a shadow had long made him develop the habit of putting self-preservation first. After making sure that he and Atsu were hiding, he slowly poked his head out and looked in that direction from afar.
On the mountain wall in the distance, two figures appeared one after another. They stood at the top of the cave entrance and looked down at the city below. They seemed to be talking to each other, and then they walked down together.
Lu Chen glanced around again. Looking at the empty street, there was a little doubt in his eyes. After that, he continued to observe the situation over there.
But after a while, he suddenly frowned because he found that the two people seemed to be walking in his direction all the way.
Have I been discovered? Or is there another reason?
Lu Chen pondered for a moment, but he looked back at the tall and strange statue.
At this moment, he and Atsu were almost under this tall statue, and this place was vaguely the center of this city in the catacombs. Almost all the streets led here.
He hesitated for a moment, gently touched Atsu who was lying obediently beside him, and then pointed to the house next to them. After that, he gently got up, bent down, and quietly walked into the door.
This house looked tall and complete, with a building and a courtyard. After entering, Lu Chen even found that there was a well in the middle of the courtyard. He walked over and took a look, and then found that there was no trace of water at the bottom. It had become a dry well.
He looked around. Being in this house that was much taller than ordinary people, there was indeed a sense of oppression and insignificance. Perhaps the original people who lived here were unusually tall. But now was not the time to think about these things. He called Atsu over, hid behind the door, and then looked out through the very small gap in the door.
After an unknown amount of time, a series of footsteps came from afar, getting closer and closer.
Atsu was lying on the ground behind Lu Chen, faintly shaking its tail uneasily. Lu Chen turned his head and smiled at it. He reached out and patted Atsu's head, as if to comfort it, and then put his finger on his lips to make a silent gesture.
Atsu obediently lowered its head and did not move.
Lu Chen looked out again through the small gap in the door. Not long after, two figures finally appeared in his sight.
It seemed like they didn't live in this city, because they were ordinary humans like Lu Chen. They were men of similar height and stature. And one of them, Lu Chen even felt that it was a little familiar.
After a moment, Lu Chen recognized that person.
Because he had seen him a few days ago, it was the chef from the Three Li Xiang Tavern!
Lu Chen was slightly shocked. At this moment, the chef seemed to have changed into a different person. He had a calm temperament, and his eyes were sharp. He was obviously a capable and powerful character.
To be able to suddenly appear from the tavern in this strange underground city, needless to say, this chef was obviously strange.
Lu Chen laughed coldly in his heart, and then shifted his gaze to the man standing beside the chef.
At this moment, he heard the footsteps outside suddenly stop, and the man that he did not know stopped under the statue. He looked a little unhappy and asked, "You brought me so far underground, where is Elder Gui?"
