Chapter 80 The Sudden Mirror
"Could this rabbit be related to this strange wall?" Li Dong asked.
The little green rabbit struggled in Xie Liang's hand, and Xie Liang held it tighter: "I don't know, I'll give it a try."
Xie Liang held the little rabbit in both hands and moved towards the invisible door on the smooth wall. A strange scene appeared - Xie Liang's hands actually reached into the wall, and the rabbit began to squeak.
At this time, with the rabbit as the center, a hole gradually appeared in the door on the invisible smooth wall, and the hole gradually extended and spread to the surrounding walls.
After a while, a brand new corridor appeared in front of them.
The new corridor was still filled with fog and nothing could be seen clearly.
The corridor they were in at the moment also gradually changed.
The vines wrapped around the wall were withering and falling at a speed visible to the naked eye. The green leaves turned into brown dead leaves, curled up and fell to the ground.
"Fuck!" Li Dong suddenly screamed.
"What's wrong?" Xie Liang looked towards him, only to see a corpse hanging between withered brown vines on the wall next to him! It looked like it had been dead for a long time.
Seeing this, Xie Liang hurriedly shone the flashlight in his hand towards the walls on both sides of the corridor that were covered with dead vines.
The wall, which was originally green due to the dense green vines, has turned gray-brown as the vines withered. The fog in the corridor seems to have dissipated a lot. Through the light of the flashlight, one can vaguely see a number of mutilated corpses wrapped around the wall.
These corpses were all shriveled skeletons, and the flesh and blood on their bodies had long been sucked away by the tightly wrapped vines.
"Many people died here. If it weren't for this rabbit, we would probably be trapped here and die." Xie Liang held the rabbit in his hand tightly in fear.
The little rabbit started squeaking again, but Xie Liang ignored it and stuffed it into his bag, carefully zipping it up.
The two walls of the new corridor were covered with the same green vines as before, and the ground was still wet mud.
About half an hour later, Xie Liang and his companions finally passed through the vast white fog in the corridor.
Immediately afterwards, two new forks in the road appeared in front of them.
They were standing at a Y-shaped three-way intersection, surrounded by unfathomably high green walls.
Looking into the two forks with a flashlight, it was both pitch black and bottomless, but there was no fog.
The fog tonight seemed to have dissipated before daybreak.
Li Dong wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked Xie Liang, "Which way should we go?"
It was obvious that he was very tired, and Ji Ranzi, who was carried on his shoulders, was struggling.
Ji Ranzi's limbs, torso and skin have become no different from those lizard monsters. Before long, her strength may become as great as those lizard monsters.
At this time, the little rabbit in Xie Liang's bag started squeaking again and jumping around in the bag.
Xie Liang reached into his bag and pulled it out. It kept trying to move to the left fork in the road: "It wants to go to the left fork."
"Do you want to go with it?" Li Dong asked.
Xie Liang shook his head: "I don't know." Then he subconsciously asked Xu He, "Brother He, which way do you think we should go?"
Xu He said calmly: "Try the left side." Then he walked towards the fork in the road on the left.
Soon after the group entered, they finally came across the maze's supplies - two bottles of water and four apples on the ground.
Li Dong picked up a bottle of water and handed it to Xie Liang. Xie Liang gulped down one-third of it and then handed the rest of the water to Xu He.
Xu He took two small sips and returned it to him.
"Drink a few more sips." Xie Liang said.
"That's enough." Xu He said.
After collecting the apples they had shared, they continued walking deeper into the corridor.
After walking for more than two hours, the white fog came out again, and the visibility range was less than half a meter. They had to stop to rest and plan to continue their journey after dawn.
The next day, around six o'clock, the fog gradually dissipated as daylight began to rise.
The few of them continued walking forward, but after a while, Xie Liang stopped.
Li Dong lifted Ji Ranzi up from his shoulder and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xie Liang pointed to the two small mud pits under his feet and asked Li Dong: "Dongzi, look at these two mud marks."
"What's wrong with the mud print?" Li Dong looked confused.
"Does it look like the marks you left when you fell when you first entered the maze?" Xie Liang said.
"Damn! I remember now, it was the time when I fell flat on my face! Damn, we're back here again." Li Dong said angrily.
"Not necessarily. I always feel that this corridor is not the one we walked through before." Xie Liang said.
At this time, Xu He said affirmatively: "No."
"Ah? Brother He, are you sure?" Li Dong asked.
"affim."
Xie Liang: "I don't think so either. If it were, there wouldn't be apples and water on the ground when we came in. There must be a mechanism connecting the entire maze, which can project any corridor to confuse us."
At this moment, the little rabbit in Xie Liang's bag started squeaking again. He reached into the bag and took the rabbit out.
"You keep squeaking, do you know something?" Li Dong said to the rabbit.
"I wonder if it could be the way out of this maze?" Xie Liang said as he carefully observed the rabbit in his hand.
Suddenly, the rabbit bit Xie Liang's tiger mouth! Xie Liang felt pain and loosened his grip, and the rabbit took the opportunity to slip away.
"Damn! Don't let it run away!" Li Dong shouted hurriedly.
Several people hurriedly chased after the rabbit. After running a few meters, the rabbit suddenly disappeared out of thin air on the mud in front of them!
"Fuck! How could she suddenly disappear? She disappeared right here!" Li Dong kicked the wet mud on the ground twice angrily, then looked worriedly at Ji Ranzi who had fainted on his shoulder. "I don't know if this girl can still survive. What should I do?"
Ji Ranzi was knocked unconscious by Li Dong just now - her strength was getting stronger and stronger, and Li Dong felt that she was in the way, so he simply knocked her unconscious and carried her away.
Xie Liang didn't say anything, staring at the mud where the rabbit disappeared for a long time: "Dongzi, move aside."
After Li Dong walked aside, Xie Liang took off the scimitar from Ji Ranzi and started digging in the mud where the rabbit disappeared.
"Is there something underground?" Li Dong asked.
"I don't know, let's give it a try. After all, the rabbit disappeared here." Xie Liang said.
"Let's do it together." Li Dong put Ji Ranzi down from his shoulder, leaned against the green wall, and then joined the digging operation with a kitchen knife.
After an unknown amount of time, the two men dug deeper and deeper, and a one-meter-deep pit was dug out on the ground.
At this moment, something suddenly jumped out of the pit!
Xu He was quick-eyed and quick-handed, quickly pulling out the black sword and throwing it at the thing.
Xie Liang looked up and saw Xu He's black sword firmly stuck in the ground not far away. A green, long-haired rabbit hung on the blade near the hilt - it was pierced through by the sword like meat on a kebab.
Xie Liang hurried over and took the rabbit off the sword. The little rabbit didn't bleed. It twisted twice in his hand and then stopped moving.
Li Dong looked at the rabbit in his hand and asked in surprise, "Dead?"
Xie Liang: "Yeah."
At this moment, the green walls around them began to retreat in all directions with them as the center.
Ji Ranzi lost the support of the wall and fell to the ground, humming from her deformed mouth, as if she was about to wake up.
"What's going on!" Li Dong hurried over and carried Ji Ranzi on his shoulders again.
A few minutes later, the green wall disappeared completely, but they were surrounded by thick white fog again - with them as the center, the area within a radius of ten meters was all white, and they could not see anything.
They stood in the center of a spacious circular area, the edge of which blocked out the thick white fog outside.
Not far from them, there was a two-meter-high round mirror that suddenly appeared on the ground.
"What's going on? Why is there a mirror?" Li Dong asked.
"I don't know, let's go and take a look." Xie Liang said as he walked towards the mirror.
It was a blue mirror with a blurry lens, standing eerily on the wet mud.
Xu He lowered his head and thought for a while, then stabbed the black sword into the middle of the mirror.
A magical scene appeared - the moment the sword blade pierced in, a crisp "click" sound was heard in the mirror.
At the same time, the exciting and long-awaited distant bell finally rang!
“Bang—”
Li Dong's eyes were red with excitement: "Fuck! The door is finally open!"
Several people looked around hurriedly, looking for the location where the vortex gate appeared.
Looking around, there was no door in the circular area.
Several people walked around anxiously, wondering whether they should risk walking into the thick fog to look for it.
At this moment, many lizard monsters suddenly jumped out from the white fog area at the edge of the circle!
"Fuck! Where is the door?" Li Dong shouted anxiously.
The lizard monsters pounced towards them one after another. They quickly huddled together, with Xu He standing in front to resist the lizard monsters' attack.
Ji Ranzi woke up from the bumps on Li Dong's shoulder. She had regained consciousness and shouted, "Put me down!"
Just as Li Dong was about to put her down, a lizard monster pounced towards them.
Xie Liang hurried over and pushed them away, but was knocked into the mirror beside him by the lizard monster.
Xie Liang turned his head and saw that his hand could actually pass through the mirror!
Surprised, Xie Liang didn't bother to think too much and hurriedly shouted, "Mirror can go in! Dongzi! Hurry and carry her in!"
There were more and more lizard monsters, and Xu He gradually couldn't resist them anymore, and was bitten in several places on his body.
Just as Li Dong was carrying Ji Ranzi and running to the mirror, another lizard monster opened its bloody mouth and pounced on them.
Just as the lizard monster was about to bite Li Dong's other shoulder, Ji Ranzi suddenly arched her body like a carp and swung it, forcing Li Dong to turn around.
The lizard monster's big mouth bit Ji Ranzi's butt hard, biting off the lizard tail that grew on her butt due to mutation.
"Hurry! Don't delay!" Xie Liang ran over under Xu He's cover and pushed the two of them towards the mirror.
Lizard monsters continued to emerge from the thick fog. Xie Liang didn't have time to look at them. He quickly turned around, pulled up Xu He, and followed Li Dong and the others into the mirror.
After passing through the mirror, they returned to the circular area surrounded by green walls when they first arrived in the maze.
In the circular wet mud, a blue vortex gate stands in the center, and blue and white waves are constantly spinning and surging.
Without further delay, they strode towards the vortex gate and disappeared one after another in the surging waves.
