Xiao Tangqiu finally saw the black tattoos on Shen Yuan's body clearly. They were actually a series of intertwined bodies of tail-biting snakes, Ouroboros.

——In ancient Greek mythology, a giant snake that encircles the entire world with its body, symbolizing the eternal snake of immortality.

The large Ouroboros tattoos looked mysterious and evil, weird and unpredictable, like a mysterious totem from ancient times.

However, before Xiao Tangqiu could take a closer look, he completely lost consciousness due to lack of oxygen. The last thing he saw was Shen Yuan's dark and deep eyes and the large Ouroboros tattoo on his body.

The shimmering water, the flowing black hair, the mysterious and bizarre tattoos, at this moment, Shen Yuan seemed to have come from a foreign land under the sea...

"Qiuqiu! Wake up!"

"Wake up!"

"Wow, don't die!"

Xiao Tangqiu woke up again under Tang Mianmian's desperate shaking. He opened his eyes hazily and saw Tang Mianmian pressing hard on his chest in the posture of rescuing a drowning person. Tang Mianmian was so strong that she almost squeezed his lungs out.

Xiao Tangqiu coughed and climbed up, pushing Tang Mianmian away: "Alright, alright, stop it, you're almost breaking my bones..."

When Tang Mianmian saw Xiao Tangqiu getting up, she immediately burst into tears and snot: "Wuwuwu, Qiuqiu, I'm so glad you're not dead! I thought I would never see you again, wuwuwu!"

Xiao Tangqiu coughed and spat out a few mouthfuls of water. His throat and lungs were burning, and his eyes were red and swollen from being underwater for so long. He looked very miserable. However, Tang Mianmian was not much better off than him. Her hair and clothes were messy, and her skin was white and swollen, looking like a drowning person who had just been rescued.

Xiao Tangqiu thought of Shen Yuan and immediately turned around to look for Shen Yuan. Soon he found Shen Yuan not far away. At this time, Shen Yuan seemed to have returned to normal. His hair had returned to its original short length, and the large tattoos on his body had disappeared.

He put on his clothes again and was sitting on a broken bench with his eyes closed, seemingly taking a rest.

Xiao Tangqiu stared at Shen Yuan's cheek and skin for a long time, confirming that the large black mysterious tattoo

It has really disappeared completely, and I still feel a little lost and regretful... Although the large Ouroboros tattoo is mysterious and strange, it is also enchanting and beautiful.

If it weren't for the glimpse just now, he would have almost thought that everything was an illusion or a dream.

After making sure Shen Yuan was safe, Xiao Tangqiu turned around to look at the surrounding situation. The huge statue had been smashed by Shen Yuan, and the fragments were scattered all over the ground. The water that had flooded the church was nowhere to be found, as if it had suddenly disappeared with the shattering of the statue.

The flood came and went without a trace. If it weren't for the mess on the ground, it would almost make people think it was just an illusion. Except for Shen Yuan and the other four, everyone else was in a very miserable state. Lu Si'er and the boy sat on the ground with pale faces, shaking like a sieve. Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian were naturally not much better off, and they all looked like they had survived a disaster.

Duan Hongzhen walked around the statue and suddenly said with a grin, "It seems there's a way out."

The two girls looked at each other, walked closer to the statue and were stunned for a moment. Seeing this, Xiao Tangqiu also tried to get up, and walked over with Tang Mianmian supporting each other.

An entrance actually appeared at the broken base of the huge statue!

The entrance was pitch black and deep, with no bottom in sight, but there was a small wooden staircase that obviously allowed people to go down.

Tang Mianmian shuddered: "But we don't know where this secret passage leads to..."

"You'll find out if you go out," Duan Hongzhen disagreed, looking eager to try.

The two girls looked at each other and then at Shen Yuan, who was sitting on the bench with his eyes closed.

After a moment, Shen Yuan opened his eyes: "Let's go down."

Lu Si'er was obviously a little scared: "But...what if this secret passage is a dead end...or if there's a flood after we go down...then we'll be dead!"

Duan Hongzhen said with a smile: "Then you can choose to stay here alone."

Lu Si'er's face turned pale and she was about to say something, but Tang Mianmian suddenly sniffed: "Do you smell anything?"

"What's that smell?" Xiao Tangqiu sniffed and indeed smelled a strange odor. "It smells like something burnt..."

"Yes! It's the smell of burning!" Tang Mianmian slapped her thigh and suddenly realized.

Xiao Tangqiu: "Wait! Where does that burning smell come from?"

Everyone turned around at the same time, their faces suddenly changed. They didn't know when a raging fire had started in the church. The fire rushed towards them with the momentum of burning everything, and the air was instantly filled with a pungent smell.

"Fire!" Xiao Tangqiu reacted instantly, "After water torture comes fire torture..."

"Fuck! You're right!" Tang Mianmian also realized, "They suspected Lili Marlene was a witch, so they first subjected her to water torture, and then to burning her..."

At this moment, they no longer had time to hesitate whether to leave through the secret passage under the statue, because this was the only option left for them.

The church's main door had completely disappeared in the raging fire, and the surrounding windows were also surrounded by flames. It was impossible for them to escape through the door or window, so they could only turn around and run towards the secret passage.

Shen Yuan was the first person to go down, followed by the two girls, then Duan Hongzhen. Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian adhered to the principle of giving priority to ladies and children and let Lu Sier and the little boy go down first. The two of them were the last to retreat.

Xiao Tangqiu was the second to last to go down, and Tang Mianmian was the last one to jump up and down anxiously.

"Ouch! The fire is burning my butt! Hurry up!"

Xiao Tangqiu was so anxious that he jumped down without going down slowly. Tang Mianmian also had no time to go down the stairs one step at a time and rolled down directly.

As soon as Tang Mianmian came down, the fire had already spread to the entrance of the secret passage, but its main body seemed unable to leave the church and stopped at the junction of the church and the secret passage.

However, before Tang Mianmian and Xiao Tangqiu could breathe a sigh of relief, the fire suddenly condensed into a hand as if it had self-awareness and grabbed Xiao Tangqiu directly.

Xiao Tangqiu subconsciously rolled on the ground, and the flames passed over his head. His scalp suddenly felt hot, and he smelled a burning hair. However, he no longer cared about his hair. What was the use of having hair? He had lost his life!

He rolled on the ground several times, narrowly avoiding the flames several times. The sparks burned several holes in his clothes. Tang Mianmian, who was at the bottom of the group like him, was naturally not much better off. The two of them jumped around and rolled on the ground like jumping through a ring of fire. It was difficult for them to catch up with Shen Yuan and others who were walking in the front.
