Although we don't understand this matter, there is one thing I definitely understand.
Going down directly now is most likely the only, and best, option.
After all, the scene before us is at least familiar to us, and even more familiar to the girl.
But if we just sit here and wait to die, what will we do when these bricks slowly move and each wall starts to rotate, and we get trapped inside?
I think that with our current capabilities, we are not able to cope with it.
Even if we combine the energy of myself, the girl, and the Thunder Strike Sword to face these towering load-bearing walls that look very old, do we have any chance of winning?
I don't think so; in fact, I think we're in a passive position right now.
Either go down directly, or if you wait here, you'll always be restricted, especially by the mechanisms in this room, which really leave me feeling helpless.
I glanced at the girl again, and she also showed a hint of hesitation, unsure of what to do.
"Master, I think you should go down. At least you'll be more familiar with the area down there!"
Seeing our worried and hesitant expressions, Lei Jijian finally spoke up.
After thinking for a while, Yiyi finally nodded to me as if she had mustered up her courage, her eyes radiating a resolute look.
I understand that she made this decision with a speculative mindset.
I took a few deep breaths, prepared myself mentally, and calmed myself down.
I first touched the few sea cucumbers in my backpack, and the warm touch put my mind at ease.
Just as I was about to check my other belongings, I suddenly felt the girl's body slip and slide back into the hole!
Glug glug...
The staircase emitted another strange sound, followed by the ancient music that had just been played.
I instinctively grabbed the stone chair I had just been sitting on, but the chair leg snapped in an instant.
My heart sank. I glanced at it and realized that the chair seemed to have been there for too long and was already quite old. The chair that had fallen down also looked like a piece of rotten wood.
Has this thing been sitting here for a long time? If so, then what was that I just grabbed?
When I grabbed this chair leg, that little wooden stick completely held me there.
If it really couldn't work, it wouldn't have broken down at this exact moment!
I instantly felt as if someone was manipulating us from the shadows.
Could it be that the blue armor can remotely control the mechanisms here?
Otherwise, why would these coincidences always happen when we need help?
"Hold on tight!"
I quickly called out to the girl and then grabbed her hand tightly.
After making a sound, the steps above changed their curvature from a right angle to a flat angle, as if they were designed to slide down.
I was absolutely stunned when I saw this, but I didn't care about anything else because I suddenly realized that the girl's feet seemed to be covered in foam, and she plunged straight into the hole!
The feeling was as if I was completely gripped by what was inside!
I didn't have time to ask the girl any more questions. I just held her hand tightly, and with a sudden loss of strength, we both tumbled down the steps!
At that very moment, the flashlight that Lao Liu had given us flew out of our hands because it wasn't properly secured.
The white light immediately drew an arc, crackling and popping, before finally landing at the end of the steps.
Although it was still tumbling, in that instant, I saw the scene below clearly, and I froze completely.
This isn't some stone house connection point at all; it's clearly a magnificent palace!
There are even pillars from the ancient city wall gate on it, as well as some carved patterns.
It wasn't until we both tumbled down that I could finally see clearly.
At that moment, I had completely forgotten about that slight pain.
Ignoring the pain from the fall, Yiyi quickly dusted herself off, stood up, and stared intently at the room in front of her.
From the outside, there are lanterns hanging on the roof, and the walls seem to be made of crystal.
There was also a faint glow emanating from inside.
This entire area is illuminated by this light.
The walls are inlaid with gemstones of different colors, and above the main entrance is an ancient plaque.
These various combinations are all a bit confusing to me. What era is this?
I glanced at the girl next to me; she was equally stunned by what she was seeing.
After noticing my gaze, the girl looked at me and then spoke softly.
“Brother, I feel that the environment here is similar to the manor, but also very different…”
The girl spoke hesitantly, and her answer was exactly what I expected.
We weren't in her palace at all; we were actually in the Shenluopan Chamber.
If it were still inside, I imagine the environment would indeed be somewhat different.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be exactly the same as what we had in the manor?
Once I actually enter the manor, I won't need to think about anything else. I can simply focus on figuring out how to break the contract I'm bound to.
Although it seems that only those with blue armor can untie the dew-covered branch on her hand, I think the girl might also be proficient in this area.
It's just that the potential within it may not have been tapped, or such extraordinary individuals may not have been discovered yet.
If I really find it, I don't think the girl will ever take me back into the Dragon Palace.
At this moment, Yiyi seemed a little stunned and looked back at the steps she had just stepped on.
I looked over and saw that the steps were still made of gold, but I could tell that most of the luster on the gold had disappeared.
It felt like things suddenly dimmed.
Given this scene, this place certainly cannot be Yiyi's bedroom.
At least I think that no matter how powerful that blue-armored guy is, he doesn't yet have the ability to move the girl's entire manor.
No matter what, Lan Jia is just a person in the shallow layer, how could he have such great power?
Only then did Yiyi belatedly realize the pain, grimacing as she rubbed the parts of her body she had fallen on.
Looking at Yiyi's expression, I suddenly remembered my arm, which seemed to be sore from the fall.
Yiyi and I looked at each other, and suddenly a question came to mind.
We rolled down from such a dangerous place, so why didn't we feel any pain at first?
Could it be that this staircase, or rather this opening, is desensitizing our intuition?
