"Then can I go in?"

At the end of the ancient tomb hall, Lu Liang glanced at the darkness shrouded in the stone door in front of him and saw the endless corridor. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked Han Zhen behind him.

Han Zhen, on the other hand, held his waist with one hand and held the shovel on his shoulder with the other hand, and said impatiently: "Go quickly."

"Did I really go in? What if I can't come out..."

Before Lu Liang could finish speaking, Han Zhen picked up the shovel and gestured towards his head.

Seeing Han Zhen's movements, Lu Liang turned around and ran into the passage in front of him without saying a word.

As Lu Liang entered, the golden light shrouding his body gradually extended into the dark tunnel, always illuminating the area within a few meters in front of him.

The light projected his figure on the stone wall on one side, making it look extremely elongated and twisted.

Behind him, Han Zhen waited for Lu Liang to walk a few meters and then followed him into the passage.

In the dark corridor, Lu Liang and Han Zhen walked forward silently, a few meters apart.

I don't know if it was because of inner nervousness, but Lu Liang, who was walking in front, walked faster and faster.

Han Zhen, who was following him, just speeded up and kept up with him without caring at first, always maintaining a few meters distance between the two.

But as Lu Liang's pace continued to accelerate, Han Zhen realized that something was not right. Lu Liang in front was getting faster and faster. From the perspective of Han Zhen in the rear, his speed was no less than that of an adult running at full speed.

Moved.

Moreover, Lu Liang is only a teenager. Due to height restrictions, running forward at such a speed should be a big step. But in Han Zhen's eyes, the thin figure in front of him has clear steps.

Smooth, just like walking normally.

Another few breaths of time passed, and Han Zhen, who was following behind, had no choice but to run quickly to barely keep up with the figure in front. However, from behind, Lu Liang still looked like he was walking forward cautiously.

has a problem!

With this in mind, Han Zhen stopped and planned to call out to Lu Liang. Besides, the two of them walked this passage for so long and still didn't see the end in front of them. Han Zhen doubted whether he had fallen into some hallucination.

.

However, just when he was about to call Lu Liang's name, Lu Liang, who had been walking in front of him, suddenly stopped.

As if he had discovered something, he shouted at the dark corridor ahead: "Who are you? Don't run!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't even look back at Han Zhen who was following him, and ran forward with his legs.

Han Zhen, who was following behind, was stunned for a moment, and then looked forward carefully. However, even if he had the ability to see in the dark and had extraordinary eyesight, he could only see the tunnel winding forward, not at all.

No one is seen.

Lu Liang, who was walking in front, was inexplicably fast, and now he was running even faster. Just when Han Zhen stopped and looked forward for a short while, the distance between the two quickly widened.

It was only then that Han Zhen noticed a problem. The tunnel was not straight, but slightly curved to this side, with a certain angle. This is why Han Zhen couldn't see too far away with his eyesight.

As the distance between the two continued to widen, Lu Liang's thin figure began to run out of Han Zhen's sight, and was gradually obscured by the bluestone wall on one side of the tunnel.

After such a strange change, Han Zhen couldn't stop where he was, so he ran wildly towards Lu Liang in front of him again.

But during the chase, Han Zhen discovered that Lu Liang was running at an astonishing speed. Even though he was running with all his strength, he could not see Lu Liang's back again after chasing for several minutes. Even the faint golden light that was originally visible was gone.

Disappear

Already.

Moreover, after several minutes of running, Han Zhen also gained a new understanding of the length of this tunnel. He must know that running at his current speed can cover several kilometers in a few minutes, but even so

But I still haven't seen the end of the tunnel.

what happened?

Han Zhen was confused and stopped again.

Lu Liang suddenly discovered something and ran forward wildly, and the tunnel seemed to have no end and extended infinitely to the rear.

Han Zhen stopped and stood in the tunnel that was completely plunged into darkness, closed his eyes, rubbed his forehead with his right index finger slightly, and then opened his eyes again.

The surrounding scenery remained unchanged, with still dark stone corridors and endless corridors extending forward.

"Isn't it an illusion?" Han Zhen said to himself.

However, he is not completely sure. After all, his Delusion-breaking Eye has failed before. No matter what is in the tomb, it will definitely not be weaker than the Earth-bound Spirit of the Second Academy. To create an illusion stronger than that of the Second Academy, it should be

It can be done.

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes tightly again, relaxed his mind and began to listen.

In the silent tunnel, Zhonghan could clearly hear the rhythmic beating of his heart. As he completely relaxed his body and mind, the sound of his heartbeat became smaller and smaller, and gradually seemed to disappear.

Afterwards, there were more subtle sounds of breathing, blood flow, and even the sound of his own pores dilating. Han Zhen continued to enter meditation and completely eliminated the sounds he made.

Then, he could hear the sound of air flowing in the silent stone path, the sound of dust falling to the ground, and even the sound seemed to be transmitted to him through the thick stone wall.

The sounds of snakes and insects burrowing in the soil, the sounds of roots and roots of plants growing and absorbing nutrients, the sounds of underground water flowing, and the footsteps of all things running around on the ground, all seemed to reach Han Zhen's ears through countless barriers.

After listening with bated breath for a moment, Han Zhen opened his eyes again and exited this mysterious and mysterious realm. This was a new ability he gained after awakening his second consciousness. He could perceive the real world around him through hearing.

No matter what kind of illusion it is, it all targets people's five senses, and the eyes are often the best to deceive among the five senses. On the contrary, the more subtle senses are easily ignored, the more difficult they are to fake.

So after listening to everything around him, Han Zhen was basically sure that he was not hallucinating.

But what if everything that happened in front of him was not a hallucination? If Lu Liang discovered something and ran forward, then the tunnel should not be so long.

With a slight movement in his heart, Han Zhen thought of another possibility. If he didn't observe carefully, he wouldn't even notice the slight deflection of the tunnel at first.

At this time, Han Zhen suspected that the builders used this slight deflection to design a circular tunnel for people to keep spinning inside.

Thinking of this, he turned sideways and lightly clasped the stone wall on one side. Then, golden light gathered in his palm, and he slapped it down with all his strength.

Under his palm, spider web-like cracks suddenly appeared in the stone wall made of blue stone slabs, extending to all sides, and an obvious pit appeared in the center of the spider web.

Then, as if he was afraid that the mark would not be obvious, Han Zhen used the shovel in his hand to hit the dent again, and pried off several broken stone slabs from the wall, creating a mark on the flat wall.

Eye-catching cracks and dents.

With this mark, Han Zhen walked forward again. If this tunnel was really a ring, he believed that he would definitely pass by this mark.

This time Han Zhen walked forward while silently measuring his pace in his mind. Every time he walked about a hundred meters, he stopped and looked at the walls on both sides. However, after walking nearly a thousand meters away, Han Zhen still didn't see him.

The mark I just made on the wall.

Could it be that I thought wrongly? Han Zhen stopped again and looked at the monotonous stone walls around him in confusion.

But just after his footsteps stopped, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

There are also footsteps!

Even though Han Zhen had stopped and stood there, the sound of footsteps could still be heard one after another in the silent tunnel, and the sound of footsteps came from behind him.

Someone is following you!

The moment this idea came to Han Zhen's heart, he was shocked. What he immediately thought of was the living dead he had knocked down.

Could it be that one of them recovered and caught up?

With this thought in his mind, Han Zhen immediately put the shovel in his hand on his chest, turned around and faced the corridor behind him, on guard.

Staring warily at the dark corridor behind him, Han Zhen silently calculated the distance between his footsteps and himself.

One minute, two minutes, ten minutes passed.

Han Zhen realized something was wrong, even though the corridor was blocked from his view due to its slight inclination.

Judging from the sound of footsteps, the person behind him should be at most tens of meters away from me, but the sound has been ringing for more than ten minutes, so why haven't I seen the person coming from behind?

Could it be that the people behind have been standing still?

Although he was confused, Han Zhen still stared at the tunnel in the distance cautiously.

A few more minutes passed, and Han Zhen, who had always been on guard, felt that his arm holding the shovel was a little sore. Just when he was about to put down the shovel and stretch his arm, his eyes suddenly shrank.

A faint light came from the end of the corridor, and then, a short figure appeared in Han Zhen's field of vision from behind the stone wall.

The familiar light golden light shrouded his whole body. With a short stature of more than one meter tall, Han Zhen confirmed the identity of the figure almost the moment he appeared.

Lu Liang!

But why did he run behind him? Is this corridor really circular?

Confused, Han Zhen decided to meet up with the other party first, then raised his feet and prepared to greet Lu Liang.

But the next moment, Lu Liang, who was walking behind, suddenly stopped and asked Han Zhen, who was standing dozens of meters away, "Who are you?"

Han Zhen was stunned for a moment, and the steps he planned to take also stopped, but he figured it out the next moment.

The dim golden light emitted from Lu Liang's body could only illuminate a few meters, and Lu Liang did not have the ability to see at night. Naturally, he could not see clearly when he was standing dozens of meters away. He probably could only see a blurry figure, so he

Ask that.

Just as he was about to speak, Lu Liang, who was behind him, followed up the previous sentence with another sentence: "Don't run!"

Now Han Zhen was holding back the words he was about to say. He thought to himself: I didn't run away either?

Suddenly, he felt that this scene seemed a bit familiar.

Sure enough, the next moment something even more familiar happened to him. Lu Liang, who was dozens of meters behind him, actually started running in his direction after shouting a few words.

Isn't this exactly what happened when I was following Lu Liang just now?

An inexplicable thought appeared in Han Zhen's mind - was he the person Lu Liang was chasing just now?

However, not long after this idea appeared, it was interrupted by an even weirder scene.

Looking blankly at Lu Liang who was running towards him from behind, Han Zhen found that although the other party was running like crazy and trying to catch up, the distance between the two of them, which was only a few dozen meters, showed no sign of shortening.
