Chapter 84: Underground Stairs



This... is the entrance to the dungeon?

Xu Xin used the iron sword in his hand to scratch the door hard, but it didn't leave any marks on the door, only a harsh and unpleasant scraping sound.

Is this some special metal? If it were made of bronze, his blue-level iron sword would definitely be able to scratch the gate.

Besides, this entrance is too hard to find, isn't it? If he hadn't had the sudden inspiration to follow the toad, who knows how much time he would have wasted in the maze and how many unknown dangers he would have encountered.

Xu Xin thought of the rules of this event.

[All survivors who fail to find the entrance to the dungeon will leave this beautiful world forever. ]

It now seems that even this first step may not be completed by many people.

He knew the mysterious voice wouldn't be so kind.

Let him first tell everyone in the group how he found the entrance to the dungeon. It is too dangerous for him to explore alone. Helping others to enter can at least allow them to exchange experiences.

"Everyone, I found the entrance to the dungeon."

The [Explorer] immediately became excited.

Wang Lei: "Holy crap! Boss Xu got out of the maze so quickly? I'm still spinning in circles!"

Li Wenxi: "Ah? You clearly entered much later than me... I'm fw, I don't want to try anymore, hurry up, tell me how you found it!"

Ji Chaoyang: "You went out? The passage on my side has become wider, maybe it's in front."

Xu Xin: "That should be correct. The right path is indeed very broad."

Wen Guixin: "How did you find it? I've been circling here and killed a lot of mutant animals."

Xu Xin told them his method.

Qin Yunlong: "There's an underground river underneath."

Li Wenxi: "So that's how it is. Oh, I should have left a monster behind."

Zhao Xiaochuan: "But the mouse I encountered ran too fast. I couldn't catch it if I let it go..."

Wen Guixin: "How stupid! You won't let it get seriously injured. Wouldn't it be better to injure its legs and then follow it? But mice may not always lead to the right direction. It's better to find aquatic animals like Xu Xin did."

Xu Xin: "Well, I've told you everything I need to tell you. Come on."

Xu Xin sent this experience to the regional channel and warned those people that finding a crack in the cave does not mean finding the entrance to the dungeon. They have to go through the crack maze inside to reach the entrance. At the same time, he also briefly explained the dangers in the maze.

As for how many people were still in the tree house and how many people could see it, that was none of his business.

Looking at the dungeon's gate, Xu Xin first took out some fruit from his backpack to replenish his health. He had spent a long time in the maze, and most of his positive health was gone.

Feeling energetic and strong again, Xu Xin reached out and grabbed the door handle.

"Keke, is there any danger behind the door?" Xu Xin turned sideways to avoid facing the crack in the door in case something suddenly appeared.

"Hmm." Coco shook her head to indicate that she didn't feel any danger.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Xin exerted force with both hands and pulled the door knocker outwards.

A teeth-grinding sound of metal friction was heard, and the door was slowly opened, and countless dust fell and scattered all over Xu Xin and Keke's faces.

"Pooh, pooh, pooh!" Xu Xin swallowed a mouthful of ash, but did not stop his actions. Instead, he increased his strength and opened the door on one side to its limit.

An inexplicable stench emanated from the door. Different from the stench of the red mist, this smell was like a quilt that had been damp for a long time, a damp and moldy smell.

Xu Xin looked inside the door. Inside the door was a long stone staircase.

The stone staircase leads all the way down with no end in sight. The stairs are very damp and water drips from the rock wall above the staircase from time to time, making crisp sounds as it drips onto the damp and waterlogged stairs.

The two sides of the passage were made of flat gray stone bricks, and every few meters there was a candlestick-shaped device, which seemed to be used to illuminate the passage, but these candlesticks were not lit at this time, and the passage was still dark.

It looks like this staircase leads deep underground.

"Hmm..." Keke shrank back in fear. The pitch-black environment, coupled with the damp, moldy smell and the occasional sound of dripping water, was truly eerie.

To be honest, after his last experience in the underground world, Xu Xin also felt a little scared of this kind of tunnel leading directly underground. He even thought, since he had found the entrance and was no longer going to die, why not just go back?

Of course, this thought only lasted a moment, as his curiosity about the unknown and his desire to explore overwhelmed his fear. The mysterious voice also said that the dungeon was filled with resources left behind by previous generations. If they could obtain these resources, the pressure of survival would be greatly reduced.

After calming down, Xu Xin first threw a stone inside. After finding that there was no trap, he stepped into the door resolutely.

My feet stepped on the wet stairs, making a sound of stepping on water.

"The stairs here are too slippery. I have to be careful, otherwise I will fall and roll down. It will be impossible to stop on such a long staircase." Xu Xin walked carefully step by step.

Keke also saw Xu Xin's difficulties, jumped off his shoulders, and followed him down the stairs slowly.

Suddenly, there was a sound of wind coming from the depths of the stairs, and an orange-red flame suddenly lit up at the dark end of the passage.

"What's going on!" Xu Xin stopped vigilantly.
