Five hours later, Fang Moqi suddenly opened his eyes. He felt dizzy, and his mind was muddled.
It took him half an hour to get used to it before he was fully awake. He quietly observed his surroundings.
He was in an unknown location. There were corpses and bones all around him. This was a mass grave!
He did not know how big the mass grave was. It was too dark around him. There was only a little bit of phosphorescence floating around.
After feeling that there was no danger around, Fang Moqi groped around and found the others.
Nedre, Dungar, and Alain were beside him. The four of them had been thrown in the same place.
"They weren't killed …"
"We're saved? Could it be … "
Fang Moqi checked their bodies and found that their breathing was even. No one was missing an arm or a leg, so he woke them up.
He did not know what kind of heavy blow they had suffered. No matter how hard he shook them, they did not wake up.
"It's fine as long as you're alive …"
Fang Moqi gave up on waking them up. He crouched down and walked on the pile of bones.
There was a soft crunching sound under his feet. A few minutes later, he reached the edge of the mass grave.
He climbed up and found that this was no longer the City of Gold. It was a remote karst pit.
There were a few skeletons patrolling in the distance. The skeletons were armed with golden weapons.
Fang Moqi stealthily scouted out the nearby area before sneaking back.
When he came back, the others had just woken up. They were holding their heads in a daze.
Fang Moqi guarded them for half an hour and finally woke up.
"We're not dead! We're okay! "Nedre covered her mouth in disbelief.
"But we're not safe either. Although I don't know why we didn't die immediately, as long as we're in Aztlan, our lives will be in danger at any time," Fang Moqi said calmly.
Dungar asked, "Where are we?"
After Fang Moqi introduced the surrounding terrain, Dungar smiled and said, "It'll be easier if we're near the tunnel …"
"We'll find the exit soon after we enter the cave."
"Do you still remember the big pool when we came in? When we came ashore and entered Aztlan, there were at least seven or eight such pools in the karst cave. They were all scattered around the periphery of the karst cave. In fact, each pool had an exit. "
Fang Moqi was puzzled. "Didn't you say that once you entered those waterways, you would drown? Are you lying? "
Dungar smiled and said, "It's not completely a lie. There are usually four waterways, three of which lead to certain death and one of which leads to life."
"So that's how it is. When you said that you would die if they rushed in, you deliberately hid the exit to give yourself a way out, right?" Fang Moqi laughed.
Dungar rubbed his nose and said, "That's what I meant. You're outsiders after all. As long as you don't know where the exit is, I'm safe."
"Uncle …" Alain looked at Dungar grumpily.
Dungar patted him and said, "The mission of facing the wall is over. After we leave this time, we will destroy the exit and bury the secret of the City of Gold forever."
"Alain, you can live a normal life from now on!"
Alain lowered his head and stared blankly. He had been brainwashed since he was young. After so many years of hard work, suddenly telling him that his mission was over was like losing something very important to him.
However, he couldn't really keep his promise anymore unless he was willing to let his innocent sister die here.
Nedre still had lingering fears and kept urging, "Let's leave this damned place quickly! I can't take it anymore! "
They were in a mass grave with corpses under their feet. There were even phosphorescent flames floating in the distance. The three men weren't afraid, but Nedre was so scared that her face turned pale. She was afraid that these skeletons would come back to life.
The four of them climbed out of the mass grave and walked along the edge of the City of Gold. Fang Moqi killed the little skeleton that was patrolling.
"There are seven Cities of Gold in total. They are arranged in a hexagonal formation and surround Sivora in the center."
"We were thrown into the mass grave from Sivora. We should be forgiven, right?"
Dungar whispered, trying to think positively.
However, just as they reached the tunnel, they found a giant skeleton blocking their way.
The skeleton was silver in color and was followed by a few hundred little skeletons. It walked slowly and happened to pass by the tunnel.
The four of them immediately stopped talking and hid in a trench. They only dared to show their faces after the skeleton passed by.
"The Underground City of Gold is already a kingdom of the undead. We have to leave quickly. It'll be bad if we're discovered." Dungar looked at the giant skeleton. It was even more exaggerated than the one that Fang Moqi killed. It was already five meters tall!
They didn't know what happened in the past six hours, but it was self-evident that more undead had awakened.
The four of them rushed into the tunnel. Under the guidance of two people who were facing the wall, they found a pool after twenty minutes.
The underground river above the pool kept flowing down like a waterfall.
The water rushed into the four channels at the edge of the stone wall. The four channels were exactly the same. Fang Moqi couldn't tell the difference.
"Which one is the exit?"
As soon as Fang Moqi asked, he saw Dungar jump into the water and float down one of the channels.
"Is that the exit?" Fang Moqi thought to himself. Suddenly, he saw Dungar swim back crazily just as he was about to enter the channel.
He swam back against the current and climbed ashore with great difficulty.
He said while panting, "I found it … That one is the exit!"
He pointed at one of the channels at the edge. No one knew how he could tell.
Alain explained, "The water will flow into the four channels, but the focus is different. Three of the channels are turbulent. Under the influence of the water flow, it will be difficult for floating objects to enter the fourth channel."
"If a hundred people jump into the water and go down, ninety-nine of them will enter the three channels. Only one will float into the other."
"Then the other channel is the exit!"
Fang Moqi understood. Dungar had tested the water personally just now. That was how he could tell the exit from the water flow.
"Be careful when you go into the water. Don't get sucked into the three channels. You'll definitely die if you go in."
"Nedre, you're not a good swimmer. Alain and I will help you. Don't struggle!" Dungar said.
After the three of them agreed, Fang Moqi suddenly said, "You guys go out first.
I still have something to do … Remember not to destroy the exit for the time being. If … if I don't get out in three days, destroy all the exits. "
Dungar was shocked, "You're crazy! There are undead everywhere. Are you going back to die? "
Fang Moqi laughed, "I haven't found Lan Mu yet. How can I leave?"
"Mu? He's definitely dead! You've seen how strong those monsters are, right? He might have been killed long ago. "Dungar shouted.
Fang Moqi said indifferently, "Even we can survive. He's so much stronger than me. Why can't he survive?"
"The City of Gold is so big. It's normal that we didn't meet him. When we got separated in the tunnel, there was no one to lead the way. He might be trapped in the maze … Haha! If I leave like this, he won't know the exit. He'll really starve to death … "
With that, Fang Moqi turned around and retreated into the tunnel. He really wanted to stay behind alone.
The three of them looked at him in a daze. This kind of behavior was tantamount to courting death.
They were about to leave. He was already very lucky to have escorted everyone here, but he still wanted to save another person.
"It wasn't easy to escape from death. Why do you want to go back and die? Falling into the hands of those monsters is worse than dying! "
Fang Moqi looked indifferent. He waved his hand and walked into the tunnel, "I've made up my mind! You guys leave quickly. I have a better chance of doing this alone. "
"I've experienced hundreds of times escaping from death. I'm used to desperate situations. There's nothing to be afraid of."
"How can a death-courting emperor like me just run away? Hahaha! I brought Lan Mu here. No matter what, I can't leave him here. "
Fang Moqi's figure disappeared into the darkness. When his voice came, he was already more than ten meters away.
"If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his corpse."
