The blood-veined toad also noticed that Xu Xin was following behind it, and sped up.
"Fuck, why are you walking so fast!" Xu Xin could hardly keep up.
"Ying!" Coco suddenly jumped down from his shoulder. Its small body could move flexibly in this gap. It rushed forward, pawed the toad's back, and then quickly retreated.
The toad was caught by Coco and turned its head to shoot the tongue out of its mouth behind it, but Coco had already retreated several meters flexibly at this time. The toad did not attack, but its body paused, allowing Xu Xin, who was lagging behind, to catch up.
"Well done, Coco!" Xu Xin praised enthusiastically.
"Ying!" Coco also cried out proudly.
In this way, under Coco's harassment, Xu Xin followed the toad closely, and took whichever path the toad took. After walking for an unknown amount of time, the gap he walked in gradually became wider, and he no longer needed to turn sideways from time to time to pass through.
"Sure enough, my idea was right. This toad can really lead me out of this underground maze! Coco, come back. There's no need to harass it anymore."
Although the toad was no longer squeezing against the walls and was moving faster, Xu Xin, who had freed his body, was still quite fast and could keep up with the toad's movements without Coco's help.
"Hmm!" Coco responded and climbed onto Xu Xin's shoulder.
This road seemed to be the last one. After walking for a long time, I never encountered any forks in the road. Instead, the width of the passage became wider and wider, gradually becoming as wide as a corridor, and the height became higher and higher.
The originally uneven stone walls around him became smooth, and Xu Xin seemed to have entered a man-made passage.
He slowed down his pace and no longer rushed to chase the fleeing toad in front of him, because he could already hear the faint sound of flowing water coming from the front.
The surroundings are so strange, maybe there is some trap. We can't move forward so recklessly and quickly.
As I walked forward with my mind tense, the sound of flowing water became more and more obvious.
"Huh?" Xu Xin narrowed his eyes. Not far ahead, there seemed to be something emitting a faint copper light.
Then I walked forward, and the front suddenly became wider, giving me a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and the source of the sound of flowing water also appeared.
It was indeed an underground river. Water like a waterfall flowed out from a gap above the passage and fell into the river. This underground river was extremely clear, with various fish and shrimp swimming in it, as well as some underground life forms that Xu Xin couldn't name.
The injured blood-marked toad had long since disappeared. It was a pity not to kill it, but it didn't matter.
"Since you led me here, I'll let you go."
Walking along the river and getting closer, Xu Xin could see clearly what was emitting the copper-colored light.
At the end of the walkable path, there is a huge bronze gate.
The underground river leads to a farther place from the left side of the door, but unless Xu Xin walks forward along the underground river, this is the end of his way.
Standing in front of the gate, Xu Xin began to look at the bronze gate in front of him.
The gate is about five meters high, with a fan-shaped top and a double-opening door. There is also a door knocker installed in front of the door, which really gives people the feeling of a dungeon gate.
[Congratulations to the survivors for finding the entrance to the dungeon! Next, enjoy the treasure hunt!]
