Then, led by Qinglong, Li Yang and the others began to head towards the secret passage that Qinglong had discovered.
The journey was very peaceful; the hall was empty and completely silent, as if we were walking through a deserted area.
Soon, Li Yang and the others arrived at the hidden door.
But the reason it's called a hidden door is that nothing can be seen from the outside.
In front of them was just a blank, unremarkable, and ordinary wall.
At this moment, the Azure Dragon was prepared. It stepped forward, came to the wall, felt around on the wall for a while, found an uneven spot, and then pressed down on it.
As soon as it was pressed, the sound of gears turning came from behind the wall.
A very common type of concealed switch.
The way of truth is simple.
Sometimes, many things don't need to be too complicated.
Soon, the wall in front of them opened up like a door.
Then, the entrance to the passage, which appeared completely dark from the outside, was revealed.
Li Yang and the others exchanged glances.
"Walk!"
Immediately, he stepped directly into the passage.
Upon entering, Li Yang was immediately enveloped in darkness.
They haven't adapted to the environment yet; their eyes haven't adjusted to the darkness.
This is a very normal phenomenon. Generally speaking, people who have been in bright and well-lit places for a long time will feel uncomfortable when they suddenly go to a dark place.
Gradually, once your eyes adjust to the new environment, it will be fine, and you'll be able to see clearly again.
Of course, unless the environment here is particularly dark, or if the environment is so dark that you can't see your hand in front of your face and have to turn on the lights, then don't even talk about being able to adapt to the dark.
Under normal circumstances, they don't need to grope their way forward in the dark.
After all, they can't bring everything, but some professionals usually use certain tools, so they do have some of the more commonly used ones.
For example, providing lighting or something similar.
The perilla leaves were prepared very thoroughly.
As soon as she entered, she turned on the light source.
In an instant, the surrounding scene unfolded before their eyes under the light.
After entering the passage, the passage itself was a bit strange. It wasn't very big, just big enough for the three of them to walk side by side. The walls on both sides of the passage were covered with some strange patterns and words, as well as some pictures that looked like photographs.
I hadn't noticed it from outside, but I saw it immediately after the lights were turned on.
"These things are..."
Li Yang looked at the text and patterns on the walls on both sides with a puzzled expression.
Because there are so many things, but he can't understand any of them, it's very frustrating and a bit overwhelming.
Moreover, the more incomprehensible something is, the more it piques one's curiosity, making Li Yang unable to resist taking a second look.
The main thing is, how should I put it, everyone has a certain mindset.
That's wishful thinking.
What if? What if it contains something very important? What if it's useful to them?
If they figure it out, it might be very helpful to them. It would be a shame to miss out if they don't read it.
Suddenly, Li Yang thought of something, glanced at Qinglong beside him, and spoke.
"Qinglong, do you see what's on both sides of this wall? Can you understand these patterns and words?" Li Yang asked.
To be honest, he was indeed a little curious about what was painted on both sides of the passageway in this place.
At this moment, the Azure Dragon also noticed the things on the wall and nodded.
"I can understand a little bit, but there's just too much information on it."
Looking from here, from their current position to the area within their line of sight, the walls on both sides are basically covered with paintings.
Right now, only Qinglong can understand it. If you want to see every part clearly, it will probably take a lot of time.
Even so, Li Yang was still delighted when he heard Qinglong say that he could understand it.
It's better to be able to see something than to know nothing at all. And you don't need to see everything; just take a quick look to get a general idea of what it means.
“Alright, then, Qinglong, I’ll leave it to you to take a look,” Li Yang said.
“No problem!” Qinglong readily agreed.
Then it turned its head and began to study it.
After a while, it spoke.
"It seems that everything recorded here is about this black tower."
"Oh?" Li Yang sounded somewhat disappointed.
He was still hoping to learn some useful information, but as for this black tower...
If it's something else, about this, then forget it. It's none of his business; he doesn't care or concern himself with it.
Speaking of which, if Qinglong hadn't mentioned it, indirectly bringing it up, he would have almost forgotten that he was in that seemingly abandoned and filthy black tower. It really was a place with hidden wonders inside. To be fair, people passing by would usually just glance at it, spit on it, and then walk away. It was precisely this state that made the place so well hidden and never discovered.
At this moment, Qinglong continued to speak.
"From what we've read on the wall, it seems like this path is the exit. If we walk out of here, we can leave the Black Tower. But... we don't know where this exit leads."
Li Yang's expression shifted. Well, finally some useful information has arrived.
"Does that mean if we keep walking this way, we can leave this place?" Li Yang said.
"It should be." Qinglong nodded.
At this moment, Zisuye suddenly spoke up.
"What do we do now? Did we just make a wasted trip? We didn't find anyone. What were we even doing here? Are we just going to leave like this?"
She still felt somewhat resentful.
"How about we go back and search again?" Li Yang said half-jokingly.
In reality, if they were to go back, they probably wouldn't find anything.
Although I'm unwilling, there's nothing I can do.
Of course, there was still a sliver of hope: that Qinglong could find some useful information on the wall. However, this hope was extremely slim.
Sometimes we have to face reality and know when to quit while we're ahead. They've been through so many dangers along the way, and to be honest, it's already quite an achievement that they've survived this long.
It's true that in the face of life and death, all other issues, including anyone else, seem so insignificant.
We were about to leave this awful place.
Li Yang has only one feeling right now: it's so good to be alive.
"Anything else?" Li Yang asked Qinglong as they walked.
There's so much information here, there must be more to it than just this.
Qinglong also walked and looked around.
