A desperate thought popped into my head.
This is another secret room, and there's no way out!
That's it...
"Master, do you think I should just cleave this place open with a single stroke and take a thorough look inside?"
Lei Jijian offered his advice from the side, and at this moment he was somewhat excited.
I quickly stopped him. If we were to take action at that moment, the risk would be too great.
I noticed that the murals around me were slowly becoming clearer, and the expressions of the people on them were becoming more and more ferocious.
There is absolutely no sign of the situation easing.
My concern is that while the lightning sword might indeed cut a large gash in the mural, we don't know what's inside.
The most likely explanation is that it disturbed the figures, flowers, and plants depicted in the mural.
What if it releases a huge burst of heat and burns us down, or suddenly collapses the house?
As I was pondering this, the girl carefully examined what was in front of her.
She told me that this glimmer of light ahead rekindled her hope.
"Brother...look, it's right there..."
Yiyi pointed ahead with one finger, and I could see that the area she was pointing to did indeed appear brighter.
It even seems that the area is the source of light for the entire gap in the mural.
But when I looked at it more closely, my eyes started to hurt again.
"Indeed."
I nodded.
Since that's the case, I've already lifted one foot, ready to step inside.
For the first time ever, Lei Jijian spoke up.
"Master... do you think we can really go into this place?"
"What do you mean? Are you just going to sit here and wait to die?"
I spoke somewhat impatiently.
By this time, we had already been here for far too long.
Even the contract has been upgraded again. Do you expect it to burn my eyes and the girl's entire lower body?
"No, what I mean is... what if we reopen that curtain?"
Lei Jijian spoke weakly.
He always spoke with a slightly tentative tone.
Hearing his words, I hesitated again.
Indeed, if you go out through that curtain, even though you'll end up in the Sunken Compass Chamber, at least there won't be any unknown things...
But isn't Lei Jijian just ripping things off? That curtain was already sealed off long ago!
Moreover, as the curtain closed, I felt the music in the palace, that is, the secret room, getting softer and softer.
Even now, when I try to listen to those very melancholic tunes, I can hardly hear them anymore.
Could it be that we were drawn in simply because we heard this piece of music?
I took another look at that entrance, which was the wall that the curtain had turned into.
A new wall has been formed, with the patterns from the curtain still on it.
That wall seemed to be sturdier and thicker than the surrounding walls.
I felt that way just by standing in front of the wall and looking at it.
Moreover, although that wall was newly formed, I felt that it was older than the surrounding walls.
Breaking it open is absolutely not an option!
I mentally rejected the idea of the lightning sword.
Looking at that corner of the wall in the distance, it was pitch black, like a gaping maw waiting for us to go inside.
On the contrary, there was indeed some light shining through the gaps in the murals on the wall in front of us.
"Master, let's go!"
The lightning sword immediately interrupted my thoughts.
"Leave? This is the only way we can go now..."
If we're going to leave, we should go this way. Once this crack in the wall closes, even if we scream here, no one will come to help!
Lei Jijian gave an awkward laugh after hearing my words.
The boy turned and glanced at me before speaking.
“Since you’ve made up your mind, I’ll go ahead and scout ahead. I’ll go in and take a look first…”
If it's possible, I'll let you in again!
"You don't have an eye injury right now..."
I didn't say anything, I just told the girl to be careful.
Although it doesn't hurt much now, I'm worried that once I go inside, my eyes might react differently to the scene.
"If there's anything wrong, pull back immediately!"
I spoke slowly, offering her some words of advice with a hint of unease.
If something were to happen to the girl at this point, I really wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility.
After all, she is a very powerful asset to me.
Although it's around noon now, I can't find anything in this mural.
I could only vaguely sense the passage of time, and I estimated that even if I took out my phone at this point, the signal would probably be lost.
After all, based on the scene I just saw, I could roughly tell that there were definitely some differences between the inside and outside.
At this moment, the girl's energy level was definitely low, which made me even more worried about her safety.
If anything goes wrong in the middle, I really won't be able to explain myself.
At that point, it won't be as simple as just losing combat power.
The girl and I have been through so much together. This is no longer just about combat strength. If she goes there and everything is fine with this mural, then so be it.
But if anything were to happen to her, I definitely wouldn't be able to accept it.
Without saying a word, the girl immediately went inside.
"I'll remember!"
She nodded to me, then turned and walked over.
A few seconds later, the girl spoke.
"Brother, there's no problem here for now..."
"OK!"
Before she could finish speaking, I interrupted her.
I happened to be carrying the Thunderstrike Sword and entered the same entrance.
But then I suddenly realized that my clothes seemed to be being pulled.
And it felt like someone was actually pulling me.
"Yiyi, are you inside?"
Seeing that half of her body was still sticking out of the window, I felt a surge of anxiety.
Could it be that the girl has already gone somewhere else?
Why are you pulling me?
At the same time, I continued to speak, expressing my bewilderment.
I felt a distinct pull on the left side of my clothes.
"Brother, when did I pull you?"
The girl's voice did indeed come from the right this time.
She definitely entered from the right side.
When I heard this, everyone was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
I clearly felt someone grab my left corner just now.
But Yiyi's voice is definitely coming from the right?
Could there be something wrong with my hearing?
This contract is a bit too harsh...
As I pondered this, I felt rather unwell.
"Something's wrong! Something's not right!"
