Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 151 Hidden Stone Wall

Pei Nai nodded, "Why did you say 'how could it be'? Wouldn't the Mo Catfish normally do such a thing?"

Grandma Axun looked at the ground, not knowing what she was thinking about.

She groaned and said, "It's the first time I've seen him. I guess he was one of the last batch of people who came in today. He just mutated and still has a trace of human consciousness. He is asking us for help."

"When he came close to me and I fought back, I could feel the change in his murderous intent. Was that when he completely lost the last bit of his humanity?" Pei Nai recalled.

Grandma Axun took a few steps forward and put away her tools. "That should be it."

"Why didn't you clearly mention the existence of the Silent Catfish people before entering the second domain?" Gu Jinheng asked.

This is the question that everyone wants to know most.

This time, it was Zhang Sheng who explained on behalf of Grandma Xun: "Fear will attract the attacks of the Murky Catfish. If you are not allowed to know, you can control your emotions. At most, you will be terrified of the unknown, but not terrified. Moreover, the scope of the Second Domain is very large. Only a few unlucky people will encounter so many Murky Catfish."

Pei Nai suddenly realized, "So the Murky Catfish wouldn't necessarily attack us, because we just happened to meet a Murky Catfish that was still conscious, and it kept me here. Our conversation made the soldiers behind us imagine and feel scared. There happened to be many Murky Catfish around, so those soldiers were attacked?"

"Well, and once there is a conflict, the smell of the Murky Catfish or other signals that we cannot perceive will affect other Murky Catfish. They will be enraged together and will attack indiscriminately." Zhang Sheng continued.

This is why Pei Nai and his companions were not afraid, but were also attacked afterwards.

Daxian put away the blade on his folding fan and said, "What should we do when we return? Everyone already knows about the Murcat people."

Grandma Axun has walked to the edge of this space and is knocking on the stone wall with her sticks and tools to test something.

She replied to Daxian: "Those who can stand here alive, I think you have the ability to control your fear."

That’s why we didn’t tell everyone about the Murcat people in advance because we were afraid that someone among them might affect the entire team.

Unfortunately, they were unlucky on this trip and encountered the Murakami people head-on.

Seeing Grandma Xun's unusual behavior, Pei Nai realized that there was no way out of the space they were in at the moment. Except for the winding stone path that they had just slid down from the second domain, there was no other exit.

Pei Nai remembered what they said before entering the domain, that the third and fourth domains were separate cave layers.

The stone walls here divide the domain into separate spaces, which are closed and independent of each other, but there are melted gaps in the middle of the stone walls.

The appearance of the melted stone wall is the same as that of a hard stone wall, so it needs to be observed and explored. They call these independent spaces cave rooms.

The gaps and passages in the stone walls often change.

Some holes may be completely closed with no entrances or exits, while others may have many gaps and entrances.

The most dangerous thing about the third and fourth domain isolation cave layers is that some caves may be filled with uniform light water, which will cause abnormal changes when entering, while others may not have any uniform light water flowing in, and it will be completely dark.

There are also native cave monsters here, or deformed monsters formed by human mutation.

At this moment, Grandma Axun was trying to find the exit of the cave.

"Your alchemy energy has lost its effectiveness in the second realm?" Han Ruize suddenly asked Gu Jinheng who was beside Pei Nai.

What he meant was that Gu Jinheng was unable to detect the environmental conditions in advance.

Gu Jinheng raised his eyes to look at him, then looked away angrily and nodded, "The First Domain and this place have also been disturbed to some extent."

At this moment, Grandma Xun's stick silently poked into the gap.

She did not rush in, but took out a slender sheep's hoof from the package and inserted it into the melted stone wall.

She took back the sheep's hoof again and saw that it was intact. Then she said to everyone, "Follow me. Don't open your eyes and hold your breath while you walk."

Grandma Axun stepped over the melted stone wall.

Looking from the back, it seems as if the whole person is embedded in the wall and becomes one.

What a mysterious scene!
Everyone entered one by one.

Pei Nai opened his eyes again and saw Gu Jinheng's straight and broad back in front of him.

Gu Jinheng turned around and saw her come in, then turned around and took her hand.

He made way, and Pei Nai saw the situation in the cave.

It was very similar to the cave just now, but the size and shape were different. This place was larger, and there was more uniform light water exposed outside, so it looked bright. Pei Nai lowered his head and saw the brown-black mud-like dewdrops left on his body after passing through the hole in the stone wall.

Is this the molten meteorite?

There should be no moisture in it, so it won't get on your clothes or seep into them.

Pei Nai raised his arm and easily shook it off. The mud-like dewdrops fell to the ground and blended perfectly with the stone wall.

Pei Naiwei felt it was magical. He opened his lips slightly and looked up to meet Gu Jinheng's gaze.

Gu Jinheng also saw what happened just now and responded by stroking the back of her hand with his thumb.

Han Ruize just stepped in and saw this scene.

He glanced at the two people's holding hands indifferently, then moved away and stood aside to make room for the people behind.

Grandma Axun is concentrating on finding the next exit.

Pei Nai thought of something and asked, "There is nothing blocking the passage between the second and third domains. Won't the Mo Catfish come down?"

Zhang Sheng shook his head. "No, the Catfish must rely on a large amount of uniform light water to move, just like a fish walking freely."

"A fish in human form." Huyan Weizhao rarely spoke, and sneered again, "You guys are really good at naming things."

The incident of Yue Cang made Huyan Weizhao still resentful towards the Kingdom of Mountain Valley.

After all, he couldn't accept that a powerful military country, knowing the dirty scandals in the Wu royal palace, would trade weapons with Yue Cang, only getting the girls of their country in return, and nothing else.

If he had not followed Pei Nai, he would have escaped long ago and let the countries that compromised with evil receive the punishment they deserve.

Zhang Sheng was stung by his words and didn't want to have a conflict, so he went to see Grandma Axun to find the exit.

Soon, Grandma Axun found the next empty passage, confirmed that it was not filled with uniform water, then bent down and walked into this overall lower hole.

Pei Nai followed behind Gu Jinheng.

As soon as he passed through the melted stone wall, his body fell downwards and fell into Gu Jinheng's arms.

"Be careful, the terrain here is uneven." Gu Jinheng reminded.

It turns out that each hole in the third and fourth areas is not level, and there may be a height difference between the ground.

But Pei Nai didn't have time to think about it, because at this moment it was pitch black in front of her eyes and she couldn't see anything at all.

For a moment I thought there was something wrong with my eyes.

But then, Gu Jinheng put her aside, made way, and said, "There is something in the darkness."

Pei Nai understood that no light-distributing water had penetrated into this hole, so there was no light and only darkness.

Without the interference of the uniform light water, Gu Jinheng could feel the surrounding environment normally.

Han Ruize and others also jumped in.

The first thing Da Xi'an said after landing was, "Why is it so dark?"

"Shh!"

Grandma Axun asked them to keep quiet.

Da Xian and the others reacted and stopped talking and remained quiet.

Aside from the tread of shoes as the people at the back of the team jumped out of the entrance, the surroundings were almost eerily silent.

It was so quiet that Pei Nai began to wonder if the creatures in the darkness were aggressive.
Grandma Axun began to tap the stone wall with her stick, looking for another exit.

Nothing happened at first, until she hit something that was not a stone wall, making a dull thud.

The monster in the darkness screamed miserably.

It's like a sharp friction sound, cutting the eardrum and making the hairs all over the body stand up.
