Chapter 84: Underground Stairs



The orange-red flames spread upward from far below, and Xu Xin could see clearly that the candlesticks on both sides of the passage were lit one by one!

Within a few seconds, the candlesticks on both sides of Xu Xin were lit, followed by a strong gust of damp and moldy wind, which almost blew Xu Xin backwards.

Then, there was the sound of a door closing with a bang behind me.

"Oh!" Coco was startled and hugged Xu Xin's calf.

"What's going on?" Xu Xin looked back hurriedly, and the door he had originally opened was now tightly closed.

"The door is closed? I can't get out?" Xu Xin's eyelids twitched. He walked back to the door. There was no door knocker on the inside, so Xu Xin could only use all his strength to push the door that had just been opened.

As he expected, the door that could be opened just now could not be pushed even a little bit by him.

"...This is going to cut off our retreat!" Xu Xin gritted his teeth and looked into the depths of the passage again.

Coco was not affected. It always ran forward a dozen steps first, then stopped on the steps and tilted its head to look at Xu Xin. After Xu Xin caught up, it ran forward a dozen steps again.

After walking for about ten minutes, Keke, who had already run a few steps forward, suddenly turned around and ran back to Xu Xin. She tugged at Xu Xin's trouser leg, pointed to the passage, and whispered, "Ying."

Is there any danger ahead?

Xu Xin squinted his eyes and looked deeper, and found that not far ahead, there seemed to be something hanging on the upper edge of the staircase.

The distance is a bit far and I can't see clearly.

"Keke, stay with me and don't run away anymore."

"Hmm!"

Keke obeyed and stopped running. Xu Xin continued to walk down the stairs steadily. After walking a distance, he saw the object hanging above the passage.
