The Extreme Princess

Chapter 106: Secret Passage Exploration

Xicheng, downtown area.

Gu Yue, dressed in tight clothes and with her long hair tied up, and Yuan Lu stopped in a relatively quiet alley.

"Senior Sister, please hide here for now. If something happens, you can help me..."

"Be careful!"

Yuan Lu's face was extremely solemn.

She didn't have much contact with Taixu Lingdiao.

However, I still have some understanding of Taixu Lingdiao's abilities and personality.

There is a place that even the Taixu Lingdiao dare not approach. Unless she had no other choice, she really didn't want Gu Yue to take the risk.

Gu Yue tugged at her clothes and chuckled, "Don't worry, Senior Sister. If the situation is not right, can't I just run away?"

Yuan Lu has been wearing the robe that she bought a few days ago.

Today, Gu Yue and Taixu Lingdiao are going to Chenxiang Pavilion alone. After Yuan Lu almost went berserk, Gu Yue agreed to exchange clothes with Yuan Lu.

The tight-fitting outfit she was wearing at this moment was exactly the same as the robe after it had transformed.

"Wait for my good news!"

After Taixu Lingdiao set up a concealment magic circle at the place where Yuan Lu was hiding, Gu Yue waved her hand and, under the leadership of Taixu Lingdiao, went around to a mansion not far ahead.

The Chenxiang Pavilion covers a large area.

Gu Yue held the Taixu Lingdiao in her arms, found an unguarded place, fully activated the magic circle on her body, and directly climbed over the wall into the mansion.

Perhaps because of today's competition, all the cultivators in the mansion followed him to the City Lord's Mansion. After entering the mansion, except for a few ordinary servants and maids, Gu Yue did not find any cultivators.

With Taixu Lingdiao guiding her, Gu Yue passed through many buildings with ease and headed straight for the secret passage discovered by Taixu Lingdiao.

About a quarter of an hour later, Gu Yue climbed over the wall and entered a courtyard overgrown with weeds.

In the courtyard, which covers a large area, there is only a dilapidated building that looks like a woodshed. It stands there alone, accompanied by weeds and rubble.

Logically speaking, the magnificent Chenxiang Pavilion should not be so dilapidated and desolate.

Yet it really exists!

"There is no magic array or barrier to protect..."

Gu Yue observed outside the courtyard for a while.

Although he was doubtful, it seemed that this was the most suspicious and deliberate place in the entire Chenxiang Pavilion!

"There..."

As Gu Yue was concentrating on watching, the Taixu Lingmarten in her arms called out softly.

The trip to Chenxiang Pavilion was full of uncertainty. When Taixu Lingdiao set up a magic circle for Yuan Lu just now, he also set up a magic circle on himself, and briefly gained the ability to speak.

In this way, if it encounters some unexpected situations, it can explain to Gu Yue without having to scream and let Gu Yue guess what it means.

Following the direction pointed by Taixu Lingmarten's little paw, a pitch-black cave entrance came into Gu Yue's sight on the left side of the "woodshed".

The scorching sun hangs high in the sky, emitting a scorching breath that shines on the earth.

However, the entrance to the secret passage seemed to have become a place of the end of the law. Even the light was cut off, making it impossible to see anything inside the passage.

"Shh..."

Gu Yue took a deep breath. Although she was concealed by the magic circle, she still restrained her aura.

"let's go!"

Gu Yue's lips moved slightly, and an inaudible voice penetrated into Taixu Lingdiao's ears, and she led Taixu Lingdiao slowly towards the cave entrance.

Taixu Lingdiao was completely silent at this time, curled up in Gu Yue's arms, and just nodded slightly.

When Gu Yue approached the cave entrance, he discovered that the situation inside the passage was completely different from what he had imagined.

Although there is no sunlight in the seemingly cold and damp passage, an extremely hot breath constantly flows out of the passage.

Gu Yue’s expression froze.

According to Taixu Lingdiao, there is most likely a powerful monster guarding it.

At this moment, she didn't dare to use her spiritual sense to explore the way.

“I can only go in and see…”

Gu Yue murmured, took out the jade token given by Zhou Cang and held it in her palm, then carefully bent over and entered the passage.

In the passage, as soon as Gu Yue entered, she almost screamed out.

At this moment, she felt as if her whole body was in a furnace, and the extremely hot breath continued to burn her body and even her spiritual power.

Gu Yue frowned slightly, and separated strands of Xuanyin spirit power from the Yuan Dan to protect the meridians in the body. The burning sensation in the body then dissipated.

Gu Yue let out a breath, tiptoed, and walked slowly inside.

The passage was built in a random pattern, and even looked like a natural formation or an underground nest dug by some animal.

There was no light in the passage, so Gu Yue could only focus his spiritual power on his eyes to be able to see the direction clearly.

The further you go down, the stronger the burning breath becomes.

At this time, Gu Yue needed to cover her skin with spiritual power, otherwise the breath alone would burn her skin.

After careful exploration and groping for half an hour, a red light finally appeared in Gu Yue's eyes at the corner in front of the passage.

"arrive!"

Gu Yue perked up and walked more lightly.

At this time, the Taixu Lingmarten in Gu Yue's arms had completely curled up into a ball. Even so, its body was still trembling slightly.

Suddenly, Taixu Lingdiao's nose twitched, and a hint of uncertainty flashed in his little eyes.

When Gu Yue finally reached the end of the passage, she discovered that there was a cliff-like space in front of her.

The red light in the sky made Gu Yue's eyes hurt.

"What on earth is this incredible thing..."

With great curiosity, Gu Yue looked down after confirming that there was nothing unusual.

At the bottom of the passage, a huge pool suddenly appeared before our eyes. Red magma was bubbling and mist was rising above the pool.

In the pool, an altar-like building stands in the center of the pool.

What is truly horrifying is that within the magma, a scaly creature of unknown size is floating up and down, seemingly in a deep sleep.

"snake!"

Gu Yue forced herself not to make a sound.

At this time, only a small part of the giant snake's body was exposed, but even this small part that was exposed was enough to be terrifying.

At this moment, an extremely absurd idea popped up in Gu Yue's mind.

The passage she came in through was the hole made by the snake!

Gu Yue turned around and looked at the road they came from, which further confirmed her thoughts.

A passage with a diameter of nearly two meters can just accommodate its body!

"What are Zhou Cang and the others looking for..."

At this moment, Gu Yue couldn't help but feel troubled.

The place in front of us is obviously the lair of the snake monster.

And what could be inside the lair that could affect the fight for the city lord's position?

Gu Yue couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After a while, Gu Yue's eyes suddenly widened.

"No, the mist coming out of the magma shouldn't be like this!"

Gu Yue reacted suddenly, and when he looked down again, the mist floating above the "magma" was white and contained a large amount of water vapor.

"That's not lava!"

At this moment, an idea that made Gu Yue feel cold from head to toe arose in his heart.
