The tunnel was getting deeper and deeper. Even Rhubarb had to stop every now and then. It seemed that they were close to spiritual energy.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the tunnel finally became wider, and there was even a fork in the road.
"No way, this tunnel is already so deep, and there's a fork in the road. How are we going to chase after them …" Lu Chen stood in front of the three entrances and was at a loss. "Did the three of them choose the same path, or did they split up?"
At that moment, Rhubarb walked around the left entrance, then stopped at the entrance and barked at Lu Chen.
"Hm? There's a mark? "Lu Chen hurried over.
With the help of the Clear Water Pearl's light, Lu Chen saw an arrowhead pattern on the rock wall next to the entrance. It seemed to have been carved by a sharp weapon.
There was also a simple drawing of a pair of fox ears below the arrowhead …
Lu Chen originally wanted to suspect who left this mark, but now it was clear. It was undoubtedly left by Li Wei.
He just didn't know if Li Wei had found Wu Xuan and Skyfall …
"Forget it, at least I'm sure there's someone in this tunnel! Rhubarb, let's go! "
There were still a few forks in the road, but Li Wei had left a mark on each of them. Lu Chen just had to follow the marks.
Lu Chen estimated that seven or eight hours had passed since they entered the secret tunnel. Gradually, there was some light in front of them.
"It's such a long tunnel. I don't think it's still within the Demonic Academy." Taking advantage of the short break, Lu Chen thought that if it wasn't within the Demonic Academy's area, then the possibility of the tunnel leading to the main spirit vein was not high.
After a short break, Lu Chen put away the Clear Water Pearl and Rhubarb, considering that there might be danger ahead, and headed towards the light source.
Not long after, Lu Chen saw the light source from afar!
It was a huge teleportation gate that was shining with silver light. It was about twenty meters tall, and the interior of the teleportation gate was slowly rotating like a black hole. The entire teleportation gate was faintly glowing.
Just as Lu Chen was about to walk in, a voice suddenly came from behind the rocks. "Nameless!"
Lu Chen turned his head to look, only to see a beautiful figure flash out from behind the rubble and appear beside him in the blink of an eye.
"Liwei?!"
Li Wei looked at the teleportation gate. At this time, the teleportation gate seemed to be brighter than before. She immediately grabbed Lu Chen's hand and quickly pulled him behind the rocks to hide.
The space behind the rocks was not big, so the two of them were almost touching each other.
Lu Chen looked confused and asked, "What?"
Li Wei raised her right index finger to her lips and made a shushing gesture.
Lu Chen was half pressed against the rock by Li Wei. The two of them were facing each other. Lu Chen could feel Li Wei's breath and the faint fragrance of her body.
What's going on? Lu Chen's mind was in a mess … Could it be … that something was going to happen here?
That's not good, right? The time and place are not suitable.
Just as Lu Chen was about to undress, there was a strange movement behind him. Lu Chen hurriedly turned his head to look at the teleportation gate.
The teleportation gate suddenly erupted with a beam of spiritual energy and shot forward. Then, the beam of light traveled along the tunnel until it disappeared!
Lu Chen's eyes widened. Could it be that this tunnel was not man-made, but was formed by the continuous impact of the beam of spiritual energy emitted by the teleportation gate?
A few minutes after the beam of spiritual energy dissipated, Li Wei brought Lu Chen out from the gap behind the stone wall.
Li Wei's face was a little red, and she unnaturally stroked her hair bun. "Your … your hand has recovered?"
Lu Chen nodded. "En, it's recovered."
"Were you imagining things just now?" Li Wei looked up at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen's eyes widened. "Absolutely not!"
Li Wei turned her head and changed the topic. "Ahem, Wu Xuan and Skyfall should have entered the teleportation gate. I followed their footprints here and then they disappeared."
Lu Chen was sweating profusely. He finally got away with it …
"Where does the teleportation gate lead to?" Lu Chen asked. "Also, what's with that beam of spiritual energy?"
"I don't know, but I calculated the time of the beam of spiritual energy. It will automatically shoot out about once every ten hours. It seems to be coming from the other side of the teleportation gate." Li Wei said, "I noticed that the path of the tunnel is irregular. I suspect that this tunnel was created by the teleportation gate."
Lu Chen also had the same guess, but he couldn't be sure at the moment.
Li Wei walked to the teleportation gate. "I originally wanted to enter the teleportation gate, but I was afraid that if I couldn't get out, your people would continue to search for me. If this continued, the consequences would only get worse."
"I didn't dare to leave here. I was afraid that Wu Xuan and the others would come out and there would be no one to meet them."
"The spiritual energy in this place is chaotic, and the sound transmission talisman can't transmit sound, so I could only wait here for your people to come down. I didn't expect to wait for ten days, and you only came down now."
Lu Chen said a little embarrassedly, "Sorry, I just returned to the academy today."
Li Wei nodded. "What do you plan to do now?"
Lu Chen also walked to the teleportation gate. When he got close to it, he suddenly felt something strange with his left arm.
Lu Chen hurriedly sensed it carefully.
The Emptiness Of Gods And Demons Arm seemed to have a special reaction to the teleportation gate!
Back then, the consciousness of the Emptiness Of Gods And Demons had introduced the Emptiness Of Gods And Demons Arm. In addition to its powerful combat ability, the Emptiness Of Gods And Demons Arm had an additional ability, which was to communicate with the souls of the dead!
"Nameless, did you find anything?" Li Wei asked.
After a moment, Lu Chen came back to his senses and said to Li Wei, "The spiritual energy beam just now came from … the Underworld!"
"The Underworld?!" Li Wei's eyes widened. "Could it be that this teleportation gate is the entrance to the Underworld?"
Lu Chen frowned. "We can't rule out this possibility. Moreover, from the current situation, it seems like someone is trying to open the gate to the Underworld."
Li Wei seemed to have thought of something, and her expression became serious. "Could it be him?"
"Who?"
Li Wei looked at Lu Chen. "Do you know that there is a Prodigy List on the Shengyuan Continent?"
"I don't know."
"As expected, you don't know … Only the strongest geniuses of the continent are allowed to enter the Prodigy Ranking of Shengyuan Continent, and the top ten geniuses on the Prodigy Ranking are all extremely terrifying!"
"The top three people are like cranes in a flock of chickens!"
"The third person on the Prodigy List is called Earthfiend Absolute Mask. He likes to wear an Earthfiend Mask and is a puppeteer. He has a puppet called King Of Hell, which is very powerful!"
Lu Chen frowned and asked, "Does he have anything to do with this matter?"
"Listen to me first," Li Wei said, "His puppet is very special. That puppet … is not an inanimate object!"
Lu Chen was not too surprised about this. After all, when it came to living puppets, Su Yuan was not an inanimate puppet either.
"Why aren't you surprised at all?" Li Wei frowned and looked at Lu Chen.
"Uh … It's a long story. First, tell me what the Earthfiend Absolute Mask has to do with this matter."
Li Wei went straight to the point. "The King Of Hell's puppet is not an inanimate object. It has a certain level of consciousness. Most importantly, its spiritual energy is different from other people's! Someone once deduced that the King Of Hell's power comes from the Underworld! "
"When the power of the Underworld is stronger, the power of the King Of Hell will be stronger! In the past two years, the strength of the Earthfiend Absolute Mask has improved by leaps and bounds, mainly because of the continuous improvement of the King Of Hell's strength! He rose from the 15th place on the Prodigy List to the third place now! "
"Now, even the first and second place on the Prodigy List do not dare to fight with the Earthfiend Absolute Mask."
