Pseudo master, she just wants to live

Chapter 130 Dead End
"Well……"

Gouwa's head was still dazed, and he murmured as he was half-floating in the water in his gray clothes.

Fang Yao swam over, patted his face, and said worriedly: "Goofy, are you okay?"

After a while, Gouwa opened his eyes, his dull pupils slowly focused, "Master..."

Fang Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked, "Are you the only one?"

Just now she clearly heard several falling into the water, but when she turned around, she only saw Gou Wa.

Gouwa rubbed his dizzy head, "No, Mr. Mu was the first to jump off, and there were two soldiers he didn't know..."

There was a sudden rattling sound in the corridor, which startled Gou Wa and immediately fell silent.

The water level of the pool they were in was originally waist-level and quickly dropped, exposing the uneven stone walls around them, and then barely stopped at the ankle position.

Sitting on the wet ground, Gouwa looked at the pitch-black surroundings, and said anxiously, "Master, what happened? Where are we?"

Fang Yao pressed his shoulder, and Gouwa relaxed slightly after realizing that she was beside her.

"We should be under the river bed."

Fang Yao looked around, there were curved slopes in front and back, and she couldn't see the end at all.

And the place where they are standing now is a secret passage with a length, width and height of about two meters, which looks like it was dug by hand.

Gouwa finally realized belatedly that apart from the sound of running water in the darkness, it seemed too quiet, so he said nervously, "Master, aren't the others here? They obviously came down before me."

Fang Yao frowned, "No, there should be more than one secret passage here, they may have been washed away by the flowing water."

"Master Mu—"

"anyone there?"

Gou Wa yelled loudly several times in a hurry, but there was no one in the secret passage to answer except for the echo of his changed tune.

"Gouwa, stop shouting and save yourself some energy."

Fang Yao took out the booklet wrapped in tarpaulin from the inside of the inner jacket, and opened it carefully.

The water still soaked in a little bit, but fortunately there was nothing wrong with the booklet.

Fang Yao turned backwards gently, then suffocated for a little breath, and was instantly ecstatic.

The [Flooded Zhangxiang City] on the brochure disappeared, and a new clue appeared!
It's just that the clues this time are too simple, a thing that looks like a platform, and a half-broken stone tablet on it.

She tried to read the writing on the stone tablet, but the writing on it was cumbersome and small, densely packed, and it was impossible to read clearly in such a small booklet.

However, since a new picture has been released, the stele must not be far from here.

Fang Yao made up her mind, put away the booklet, picked up a stone from the ground, drew a circle on the stone wall, and wrote the number "1" in the circle.

"Gouwa, let's go, let's go back and have a look first."

She remembered that when she jumped down, she was swept away by a rapid current for a long distance before she landed in this position.

And the strange clicking sound just now was not far away tens of meters away.

She had to find out where she fell from.

The faint stench of the plague demon lingers in the dark passage. Although there is no black mist and heartbeat, Fang Yao dare not leave Gouwa, a 14-year-old child, alone here.

She held Gou Wa's wrist and led him forward like a cub.

Although the surroundings of the stone wall are uneven, the ground is relatively smooth, which should be related to the perennial flow of water.

The moccasin boots were heavy in the water, and they made a gurgling sound as they stepped on the dark passage of slowly flowing water.

Behind is a steep uphill, because Gouwa couldn't see the road and the ground was very slippery, the two of them spent some effort to climb up.

But after going up, Fang Yao found that it was different from the fork in the road surrounded by secret passages as he imagined.

"Master, have you seen Mr. Mu and the others?"

"No, it's a dead end."

"what……"

In front of him was a stone wall covered with dark moss, and water was still seeping down from the top. The relatively flat wall had wear marks crossing in many directions, and the moss on the surface was also scraped to pieces.

Fang Yao put her ear against the stone wall, curled her fingers and tapped.

Soon, she frowned, her voice was not empty and echoed, it was deep and solid, either the wall was too thick, or it was really solid.

But she clearly heard several falling water sounds, some of which sounded far away, and recalled that the direction came from this direction.

If this is a dead end, where did Fan Chen and the others go...

Fang Yao pursed her lips, drew a mark on the wall with a stone again, and then took out her whistle and blew ten times at the stone wall.

After waiting for a while, after the lingering sound dissipated completely and no one moved, she led Gou Wa back the same way slowly.

The top priority now is to find a way to find the clues in the booklet.

When the two of them returned to the mark they made earlier, there was a faint howl suddenly.

Fang Yao's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly pulled Gou Wa and ran forward.

And the other side.

With the sound of "呲", blue-green flames jumped out lightly, fluttering and flickering, illuminating the dark cave and Fan Chen's side face indistinctly.

Two soldiers not far away got up from the ground in embarrassment, and walked to Fan Chen with each other's support.

One person was surprised and said: "That's great, I didn't expect the son's fire booklet to be usable."

The thin smoke from the flames gave off a faint smell of rotten eggs, Fan Chen took the fire bag away.

The fuel in it was scraped from the dead fish in Wang Deshun's pond. This thing is very flammable. Even if there is water, it can ignite with a light scrape on the wall.

Dangerous, but extremely useful.

"Young master, we are..."

"Shh..."

Behind him, there seemed to be a faint whistle, but he couldn't hear it clearly.

"She's behind!"

Fan Chen turned around suddenly and ran forward quickly. The other two soldiers just wanted to look at each other, but found that they couldn't make any eye contact at all with the only fire source gone.

"My lord, wait for us—"

The two hurriedly followed.

Fan Chen's speed was very fast. Seeing that the flame was about to disappear at the end of the corridor, the two tried their best to catch up.

"Huh...huh...young master, you ran too, too fast..."

When the two soldiers finally caught up with Fan Chen who was standing in front, they discovered the reason why the latter did not move on.

No way.

In front of the three of them was a stone wall covered with dark moss.

"My lord, there's no one here." A soldier couldn't help but grumble.

However, Fan Chen walked slowly in front of the stone wall, raised his hand to touch the scraped moss, and frowned into a pimple.

Immediately, he clenched his fist and slammed on the wall, shouting: "Is there anyone! Is there anyone on the other side—"

But even shouted dozens of times, there was no response.

The two soldiers behind him didn't dare to interrupt him.

Suddenly, the echo was mixed with the woman's low sobs, which sounded intermittently.

"Bee... blah blah..."

This time, the voice was very real, lingering faintly in the empty dark passage.

The three men turned around slowly, and the crying sound clearly came from the direction they came from.
