Chapter 1440 Underground Maze
  Deep underground.

Xiao Ning moved forward and soon came to the next underground space.

This space is much more spacious than the one above and has a source of natural light.

"Why is there light here?"

Xiao Ning was confused.

You must know that Varuk cannot see the sun at all now, and other cold light sources must be dark enough.

However, the natural light source here is very bright, almost to the point of dazzling.

Varuk would never survive in a place like this.

"Am I mistaken? Varuk is not hiding here?"

Xiao Ning doubted his own judgment.

When he was on the ground just now, he was extremely sure that Varuk was hiding here.

But after the actual situation, the various situations he saw were different from his guesses.

"Either Varuk's old injury has almost recovered."

Another thought flashed through Xiao Ning's mind.

After all, Varuk was not afraid of the sun when he was young. Everything became like that because of the injury.

So as long as the old injury recovers, photophobia will no longer be a problem.

The more Xiao Ning thought about it, the more likely he felt that this was possible.

Maybe Varuk was lucky and repaired his injuries with the help of the Lava Gate.

"Let's look around first to see what's in this place."

Without thinking any more, Xiao Ning quickly searched the place.

The light source here is very bright, so the line of sight is excellent, and he can easily see the details around him clearly.

Coupled with the sweep of his spiritual consciousness, his search speed was extremely fast.

In less than two minutes, he inspected the place completely.

"Nothing."

Xiao Ning sighed.

There are several passages leading to other branch caves here, but after entering that branch, Xiao Ning found that there was nothing.

Several branch holes are all empty, without anything or any human traces.

"Is there some space down here?"

Xiao Ning looked down at the ground again.

There is nothing in this room, but it cannot be ruled out that there are other spaces below.

"Look further down."

Xiao Ning made a decision quickly.

In fact, he had no other options at this time.

Because now Taiyi is searching for his traces everywhere on the ground, making it impossible for him to return to the ground.

So we can only continue to explore and see where this guy Varuk is hiding.

Without hesitation, Xiao Ning continued to drill downwards.

As he moved forward, he unknowingly advanced more than two hundred meters deep underground.

This kind of depth is deep enough for ordinary people, but it is nothing to an extraordinary powerhouse like Varuk.

Another point is that Varuk may have been brought here directly by the mysterious power in the lava gate.

So it's entirely possible that it appears deeper underground.

"There's nothing here. It seems we have to go deeper to take a look."

Going all the way down, Xiao Ning found nothing, only stretches of rock and soil on both sides.

So he had no choice but to continue drilling down.

Half an hour passed quickly.

In this half hour, Xiao Ning moved down nearly a kilometer.

The depth of more than a thousand meters is really very deep.

After traveling so far, Xiao Ning finally made a new discovery.

He found that there were air currents surging everywhere around him, which showed that there must be an underground space around the rock and soil.

Xiao Ning observed carefully for a while, and after using his spiritual consciousness to check, he finally decided to go some distance to the east to take a look.

Just do it, Xiao Ning took action immediately and drove all the way east.

After advancing almost ten meters, I heard a thump in front of me, followed by a rustling sound.

Xiao Ning found that he had dug a hole, and there was an empty room in front of it. Now the rock and soil he dug out were falling into the empty room.

That's why this series of rustling sounds was made.

"Sure enough, there is no way out despite the mountains and rivers, but there is another village where there is a bright future."

Xiao Ning thought secretly in his heart, and at the same time, he pushed forward and jumped into the empty room.

And when he entered it, he instantly discovered that this empty room was completely different from the two spaces above.

Firstly, the light here is dim, which is perfect for Varuk to hide. Secondly, the layout here clearly looks like it is inhabited.

"Okay, Varuk is most likely hiding here!"

"When I find him, I will question him and find out all the secrets of the Lava Gate!"

Xiao Ning is full of confidence.

He had completely figured out Varuk's strength last time, and it was far below him.

It's just that the power Varuk possesses is different from that of an immortal cultivator like him, so when he first met Varuk, he thought he would be difficult to deal with.

"As long as Varuk can be found, everything will no longer be a problem!"

Xiao Ning was not afraid of Varuk at all and quickly searched the empty room.

In front of him, there were three entrances to the passages arranged in sequence.

Xiao Ning didn't know which passage was the correct way, so he chose the leftmost entrance in order.

"Go inside and take a look first."

Xiao Ning walked forward.

His pace was fast, and he kept moving forward after entering the passage, and soon arrived at the other end of the passage.

This is a room where these sundries are placed, but at the other end of the room, there is the entrance to another passage.

"This is definitely where Varuk is hiding!"

Xiao Ning thought with great determination in her heart.

This place obviously looks like it is inhabited, and in this area, Varuk is the only one who has mastered extraordinary power.

So there is no doubt that this place is probably Varuk's hiding place.

After figuring this out, Xiao Ning's confidence soared.

Now there is hope of finding Varuk.

Without stopping, Xiao Ning quickly checked the debris here and walked straight to the entrance of the passage at the other end of the room.

Entering it, he moved forward quickly and soon reached the end of the passage.

"Huh? This is it?"

As soon as he left the passage, a scene that concerned Xiao Ning came into view.

The room is very large and rectangular in shape.

On the edges of the walls on both sides of the room, there are two densely packed rows of glass jars.

The glass jar is made of frosted glass, so it is impossible to see what is stored inside.

Xiao Ning could only vaguely see that there seemed to be some kind of liquid inside.

"Nine times out of ten, this jar contains living things."

Xiao Ning nodded secretly.

After Varuk was seriously injured, he could not face the sun, so he has been trying to find a way to treat him.

And the method he used was to refine the magic potion.

For example, after Varuk caught him last time, he was going to let the great alchemist refine him into a potion.

"The goods in these jars must also be used to refine magic potions." Xiao Ning walked forward and looked around.

He counted a hundred glass jars in total, fifty on each side.

The specifications of these one hundred jars are exactly the same, so they are neatly stacked on both sides.

It's just that there are too many of them and they look a bit dense.

After reaching the other end of the room, Xiao Ning stopped and turned around to look at the room full of glass jars.

"What are we going to do with these things? Are we going to destroy them all?"

Xiao Ning touched his chin, undecided.

According to his inner thoughts, it would be best if he smashed them all.

But he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.

After all, he still doesn't know what is in these glass jars.

Another point is that Varuk, an old antique, knows something about their immortal cultivators, but he knows very little about Varuk.

Not only do they not know how Varuk practiced, but they also don’t know what path Varuk took.

So if you act rashly, things will definitely be troublesome.

"It's better to be careful."

Xiao Ning shook his head slightly, and finally decided not to touch these mysterious glass jars.

He thought that since Varuk wanted to keep things in glass jars, these things must not be released easily.

So Varuk probably wouldn't take the initiative to come over and release the contents of the jar.

Without thinking any more, Xiao Ning turned around and walked into the passage behind him.

Yes, there is another passage at the end of this huge room.

I don't know where this passage leads, so Xiao Ning decided to go in and explore.

"Varuk's hiding place is completely like a maze. I can't find anyone for a long time. Maybe he will take the opportunity to run away or hide."

Xiao Ning was worried.

He couldn't find Varuk at once, and Varuk had time to take some action.

As for whether to hide or run away, it's hard to guess.

"We can only find it as quickly as possible."

Xiao Ning thought to himself.

But that's what he thought, but he couldn't really get up quickly.

After all, there is something inside this maze that extends in all directions. If you fall into the trap recklessly, you will have great fun.

Therefore, Xiao Ning could only try to find a faster place while ensuring safety.

Dengdengdeng-

Xiao Ning walked quickly and soon reached the end of the passage.

As he expected, this passage was connected to another room.

In this room, there are boxes of different sizes and materials.

Glancing over, Xiao Ning saw not only the iron boxes, but also the wooden boxes and stone boxes.

"A storage room?"

Xiao Ning guessed in his mind.

Touching his chin, he strode forward and stopped in front of the nearest box.

After reaching out and knocking and observing carefully for a while, he decided to move on and find Varuk first.

Not only what is contained in these boxes, at least based on what I have seen so far, there should not be any danger.

"This place is really too big. How long will it take to find that guy Varuk?"

Xiao Ning was already a little annoyed.

Varuk's hiding place was too complicated and completely different from what he had imagined before.

When he first saw three passages in the empty room, he thought each passage only led to one room.

So as long as we check the three passages one by one, we should be able to find Varuk's whereabouts.

As a result, after entering the leftmost passage, the following passages followed one after another, and there was no end at all.

"I have to admit, this guy is really good at hiding."

Xiao Ning continued to move forward and quickly headed to the next room.

Soon, he walked out of the passage he was currently in.

On the other side of the passage is a medium-sized room filled with various instruments and utensils.

Xiao Ning had seen some of them in Varuk's underground castle. When the great alchemist was going to use him to refine medicine, he had people bring a lot of instruments and utensils over.

Of course, even if Xiao Ning had met him before, he still couldn't pronounce his name.

After all, these are relics from the Middle Ages, and their origins and uses have long been lost.

"It's better not to move."

This time, Xiao Ning didn't have any idea and walked directly towards the entrance of the passage in front.

It can be seen that Varuk regards this hiding place as a second underground castle.

All the various things I saw were backups that Varuk had hidden here.

It is estimated that he is preparing to use these collections here to make a comeback.

"I have made a grudge against this guy. I will never let him have a chance to make a comeback. When I find him this time, I must kill him completely."

Xiao Ning secretly made up his mind.

After finding Varuk, as soon as he asks for the secret he wants, he will be killed decisively.

Keeping such people around will lead to future troubles.

With this belief, Xiao Ning quickly came to the next room.

This room is again filled with clutter, but overall it's fairly clean.

Of course, these things that looked like debris to Xiao Ning might be treasures to Varuk.

Xiao Ning didn't stop and walked quickly towards the passage at the other end of the room.

After searching so many rooms in succession, he has gradually adapted to the environment here, so his pace has obviously accelerated a lot.

Although there is danger everywhere here, Xiao Ning feels that even if there is danger, it is within his control.

Whoosh whoosh—

Xiao Ning's figure flashed rapidly and started running directly in the underground maze.

He was very anxious, fearing that Varuk would take this time to escape.

"We must not let this guy escape!"

After running wildly, Xiao Ning suddenly came to an extremely spacious room.

This room is much larger than the one full of glass jars.

Xiao Ning looked up and found that the ceiling of this room was thirteen or four meters high from the ground.

"This room is probably the center of this entire underground maze."

Xiao Ning came to this conclusion after a quick glance.

This huge room has many entrances and exits on the walls. Xiao Ning guessed that these entrances lead to other places.

"If this is the center of this underground maze, how big is this underground maze?"

Xiao Ning really felt in trouble now.

He had just explored all the way, and he didn't know how many rooms he had explored. Judging from the passage openings on the walls of this huge room, there were countless rooms like the one just now in this underground maze.

So if you want to check them all, it will definitely take a lot of time.

"Varuk will definitely take advantage of this time to escape."

"Or he doesn't have to run at all and just hide and seek with me in these rooms. It will be difficult for me to find him."

Xiao Ning only felt that one was as big as two.

He had to admit that he despised Varuk this time.

Varuk, an old antique who has lived for who knows how many years, is indeed very extraordinary and has a profound background.
