Chapter 1651

The old man nodded with satisfaction: "You did a good job. Now, this key to open the ancient road is yours."

As he said, he took out a key emitting a mysterious light and handed it to Hu Bayi.

Hu Bayi took the key and said gratefully: "Thank you, old man."

The old man waved his hand: "Go, children, but remember that the ancient road is full of unknown dangers, so be careful."

The three left the palace and continued their adventure with the key.

On the way, Wang Kaixuan said: "Old Hu, this time it is really thanks to the old man."

Hu Bayi said: "Yes, but I don't know what will happen next."

Huo Jilin said: "No matter what, we must go on bravely."

Soon, they came to the entrance of the ancient road. Hu Bayi inserted the key into the keyhole, and with a "click", the door slowly opened.

A stale breath came to the face, and it was dark inside.

Wang Kaixuan said hesitantly: "Old Hu, how about we reconsider it?"

Hu Bayi said firmly: "We have come this far, there is no reason to retreat, let's go!"

The three walked into the ancient road, and the darkness seemed to hide countless secrets and dangers waiting for them to explore!

Click!

Hu Bayi took out a flashlight from his backpack, and the weak light seemed particularly small in the darkness.

Wang Kaixuan followed Hu Bayi closely and said in a trembling voice: "Old Hu, this place is gloomy, and I feel scared."

Hu Bayi comforted: "Fatty, don't be afraid, let's be careful."

Huo Jilin observed the surroundings vigilantly and said: "Everyone be quiet, listen to see if there is any movement."

The three held their breath and only heard their own breathing and footsteps echoing in this narrow passage.

After walking for a while, a fork appeared in front.

Hu Bayi stopped and said, "Let's take the left path."

Wang Kaixuan hesitated and said, "Old Hu, why don't you take the right path? I think the right path seems to be more spacious."

Hu Bayi explained, "The airflow on the left feels smoother, maybe it leads to the exit."

Huo Jilin nodded, "I think what Old Hu said makes sense, so let's take the left path."

So they walked into the passage on the left. The passage was filled with a foul smell, and water dripped from the walls from time to time.

Wang Kaixuan complained, "What a hell of a place, it's smelly and wet."

As he was talking, a "rustling" sound suddenly came from the front.

Hu Bayi immediately turned off the flashlight and whispered, "Don't make a sound, something is coming."

The three of them stood back to back, watching the movement in the dark vigilantly.

They saw a group of black shadows rushing towards them quickly.

"It's a bat!" Huo Jilin shouted.

Hu Bayi shouted, "Everyone be careful, use your backpack to block it!"

The bats attacked them crazily, and Wang Kaixuan screamed in fear, "Oh, help!"

Hu Bayi waved his arms to drive away the bats, saying, "Fatty, calm down!"

After a lot of trouble, the bats finally flew away.

Wang Kaixuan panted and said, "This is too scary. I thought they were going to suck my blood dry."

Hu Bayi turned on the flashlight again and said, "Let's go quickly."

They continued to move forward, and the passage became narrower and narrower, so they could only bend over to pass through.

Wang Kaixuan muttered, "This road is too difficult to walk. I should have known not to come here earlier."

Huo Jilin said, "Fatty, stop complaining. We have come this far."

Suddenly, Hu Bayi slipped and almost fell.

"Old Hu, are you okay?" Wang Kaixuan quickly supported him.

Hu Bayi steadied himself and said, "Be careful, there is water on the ground, it's very slippery."

They waded through the water carefully, and a stone door appeared in front of them.

Hu Bayi carefully observed the stone door and said, "There seems to be a mechanism on this stone door."

Wang Kaixuan came over: "Can it be opened?"

Hu Bayi felt the lines on the stone door and said, "Try it."

After some attempts, the stone door slowly rose.

A pungent smell came out from the door, and the three couldn't help covering their mouths and noses.

When the smell dissipated a little, they walked into the door.

The room was full of various strange stone statues, and there was a huge sarcophagus in the corner.

Wang Kaixuan was curious and wanted to see the sarcophagus, but was stopped by Hu Bayi: "Fatty, don't move, be careful of danger."

Just then, the eyes of the stone statue suddenly flashed red.

"No, there is something wrong with this stone statue!" Huo Jilin shouted.

The stone statue began to move slowly and approached them.

Wang Kaixuan turned pale with fear: "Old Hu, what should we do?"

Hu Bayi said: "Don't panic, look for an exit."

They searched around the room.Hu Bayi found a secret door hidden in the wall.

"Quick, this way!" Hu Bayi shouted.

The three rushed towards the secret door, and just when the stone statue was about to catch up with them, they successfully entered the secret door.

Behind the secret door was a long passage. They did not dare to stop and ran forward desperately.

After running for a long time, they finally saw a ray of light.

Wang Kaixuan said excitedly: "It's the exit!"

The three ran towards the light and finally walked out of the ancient road.

Outside was an open grassland, and the sun shone on them.

Wang Kaixuan lay on the ground, panting and said, "Finally I got out. I don't want to go in again."

Hu Bayi was also tired and sat on the ground, saying, "This time it was really a life-and-death experience."

Huo Jilin looked into the distance and said, "But we also gained a lot. At least we know some secrets about the ancient road."

Hu Bayi stood up and said, "Let's go. Let's go back and have a good rest."

Wang Kaixuan got up reluctantly: "Okay, I hope I won't encounter such dangerous things again in the future."

The three of them set off on their return journey with exhausted bodies.

As Wang Kaixuan walked, he muttered: "Old Hu, my legs are almost not my own. I have to have a good meal to make up for it when I go back."

Hu Bayi smiled and said: "Okay, Fatty, I'll let you eat enough when I go back."

Huo Jilin looked into the distance and said thoughtfully: "Although this time is dangerous, it also gives us a deeper understanding of the mysterious ancient road."

Wang Kaixuan snorted: "Understand? I only know that I almost lost my life. I have to think carefully before participating in such things in the future."

Hu Bayi patted him on the shoulder: "Fatty, this experience is so rare. It will be so face-saving to tell others about it in the future."

Wang Kaixuan rolled his eyes at him: "Can face be eaten? I still care more about my life."

The three of them talked and returned to the town unknowingly. They found an inn, asked for a few rooms, and went to rest.

The next day, he stretched and got up to wash. As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Wang Kaixuan and Huo Jilin waiting in the lobby downstairs.

Wang Kaixuan's mouth was full of food, and he said incoherently: "Old Hu, you finally got up, come and eat something."

Hu Bayi sat down, drank a mouthful of porridge, and said: "What should we do next?"
