Chapter 196 Entering the Ghost Gate Base Camp
After seeing this scene, Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen did not dare to delay at all. They hurriedly stepped through the narrow and dark passage and stepped into the mysterious cave at the end of the passage.
After entering the cave, what appeared before them was a long and narrow corridor that could only accommodate two people walking side by side.
There was a fire altar for lighting at a certain distance on both sides of the corridor. The faint flames flickered. Although they could not completely illuminate the entire corridor, it was enough for them to barely distinguish the outline of the road ahead.
Originally, Jiang Yimo wanted to use a flashlight to light the way, but Feng Wuhen stopped her because the light from her flashlight was too bright and could easily alert the enemy.
Therefore, the two of them had to move forward cautiously with the limited light, fearing that they would fall to the ground or hit the wall if they were not careful.
The two slowly walked to the end of the passage, and the sight before them amazed them.
The originally narrow and dark passage suddenly became bright here, and the interior of the cave became extremely wide.
However, at the same time, countless intricate passages of varying widths appeared before them like a spider web, like a huge and mysterious maze.
Such a unique terrain design is indeed puzzling, and it also explains why there is no one guarding outside the cave.
Even if there is an invasion by foreign enemies, once they step into this maze, they will probably get lost and find it difficult to escape.
Faced with such a complex channel layout, even if ordinary people are lucky enough to find the entrance, they will most likely stop here and be unable to move forward.
"Your Majesty, this time we have to use some brains to find the correct route to enter their main hall."
As soon as these words were spoken, Feng Wuhen's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.
"You have so many tricks and ideas, how could you not come up with a solution?"
His eyes lightly swept over the person in front of him, with a hint of teasing and trust in his eyes.
After hearing this, she couldn't help but glare at him, muttering to herself: "You really see through me... However, since you are given high hopes, I have to think of a countermeasure."
For a moment, the two fell into silence, each thinking about how to break through the current predicament.
The atmosphere around them became a little solemn, but they all knew that this was only a temporary tranquility and the next action was the key.
As she thought about it, a light suddenly flashed in Jiang Yimo's eyes, and a brilliant idea came to her mind.
"Your Highness, the guide moth that Divine Doctor Nan Qiao gave us is still in my space. I wonder if it can still be used in this situation?"
Jiang Yimo muttered to herself as she quickly took out the guide moth from the space and placed it carefully on the palm of her hand.
Immediately afterwards, an unexpected scene happened, which left Feng Wuhen dumbfounded.
Jiang Yimo actually spoke to the guide moth in her hand as if it were a human companion, as if she didn't care whether the other party could understand what she said: "Little moth, little moth, we are lost now, can you help us find the right path?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the originally quiet and well-behaved guide moth flapped its wings a few times, then took off into the air and kept spinning in the air.
Finally, it seemed to have found its target and flew straight towards the third path on the left side of the cave.
"Your Highness, look! This guide moth actually flew into the third path on the left. Could it be that... this path is the correct way to the main hall?" Jiang Yimo's tone was filled with a hint of doubt and expectation.
The prince frowned slightly, staring at the direction where the guide moth disappeared. After a moment of silence, he said, "It doesn't matter. Since it chose this path, perhaps there is some mystery. Why not follow it and find out."
After saying that, he and Jiang Yimo quickened their pace and followed the guide moth into the narrow and dark path.
The stone slabs under my feet made crisp sounds, as if adding a touch of vitality to the empty environment.
However, just after they stepped into the passage, something unexpected happened.
The ape-man who had appeared at the entrance of the cave before also appeared in the original passage at this moment.
He stared straight at the receding backs of Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen, his eyes revealing a complex emotion. He just stood there quietly, motionless, as if lost in some kind of contemplation.
Time passed by, and the ape-man still did not move, as if he was frozen in time. What was he thinking?
After a long while, the ape man came back to his senses from his daze, scratched his hair, then turned around and slowly walked away in the direction he came from, leaving behind a series of footsteps that gradually faded away, echoing in the silent cave.
Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen followed the guide moth inside. Not long after, they heard someone's voice.
The two immediately hid in the corner.
After a while, two men, one fat and one thin, came from the passage.
"Old Deng, did you see Elder Shui just now?"
The thin man looked at the fat man and asked.
As soon as these words were spoken, Lao Deng (the fat man) looked at the thin man with ill intent.
"Xiao Ning, why are you looking for Elder Shui? I heard from the people below that you and Elder Shui are in a relationship?"
After hearing this, Xiao Ning immediately denied it.
"Old Deng, please don't talk nonsense! Elder Shui is a famous beauty. How dare a little-known person like me have any improper thoughts about her?"
Xiao Ning hurriedly explained, but her voice unconsciously lowered.
As the words came out of his mouth, his originally fair and delicate face gradually turned a shy blush.
In fact, just a few days ago, he really got together with Elder Shui.
However, Elder Shui once warned him that if he revealed their relationship, he would never be able to enjoy the pleasure of love with Elder Shui again.
Therefore, even if someone noticed any clues between them, he must firmly deny it.
"Xiao Ning, do you know that you always blush when you lie?" Old Deng teased him again.
"How could that be?" Xiao Ning suddenly got angry and didn't want to talk to him anymore.
"Haha, it's not shameful to have sex with Elder Shui. Xiao Ning, let me tell you, there are quite a few assassins in our group who have had sex with Elder Shui. It is said that Elder Shui has a very beautiful body..."
When Old Deng talked about Elder Shui, he started telling a lot of dirty jokes, which made Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen feel extremely disgusted.
Until the man named Xiao Ning interrupted Lao Deng.
