Chapter 225 The Cave
Unlike the weirdness of moving in space when heading to St. Byrons, Shade didn't see to any illusion. The voice in his ear fell, and immediately, the surrounding white fog disappeared.

He felt that he simply stood still, and looked around all around. After the white fog dissipated, he stood in the familiar circular space, and the one that lit up with his gaze was still in front of him. Ancient God statue.

But this time it's no longer the statue space in the grounds of Sainte-de-Land Square. There are no clutter on the walls, and it's clean without even dust. Although it is still a circular space, the area here seems to be smaller, and the ceiling height is higher:
"Successful, but this one statue is actually in this circular space, which seems to be the same as in the The people who put the statue in St. Teresa Square are the same group."

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, then he looked down towards the suitcase. Open it to view, all items are there. This represents movement in space and can carry items with extraordinary powers.

But I still did not relax in my heart, but immediately used Mystic Art [Echoes of the Past].

Five times in a row, no human voice was heard, which also proves that this space has not been used for a long time.

But instead of trying to explore the outside world immediately, Shade turned around and reached out to touch the Ancient God statue again.

After the incantation was spoken, he returned to the white fog area of the "Space Labyrinth". Unsurprisingly, there were still those two wooden road signs in the blurred path in the white fog.

After touching the road sign marked 1, the voice in my ear whispered softly:
[The guide will guide you. ]

The white fog dissipated, and the circular space was seen again. The debris piled up by the wall had already told Shade that this was the basement of his home. When I returned from the basement to the first floor and saw the Saint Derain Square in the rain outside the window, I finally determined that there was no waiting time for the long-distance transmission of the statue, which was really a good thing.

Mia was placed with Miss Luysha just now, and now it seems to be unnecessary. But there's no need to pick up the cat right away, Shade returns to the basement with a suitcase and umbrella, returns to a new circular space through the statue, and is ready for a new adventure.

Eyes fixed on the statue, which immediately glowed with soft rays of light. Then open the suitcase, put the important item on it, and hold the revolver, looking towards the curved wall that the statue is facing. According to the rules, the location of the hidden wall is here.

"Can you feel what's on the outside of this wall?"

[You are only sensitive to elements in your soul, not capable of perspective. ]

"Alright then."

He stared nervously in front of him, then called out his life ring to illuminate the wall, and the wall really disappeared.

There doesn't seem to be any light outside, only deep darkness. The rays of light of the statue behind him only stay in this space, not illuminating the outside environment.

"Silver Moon."

He walked out of the circular space with a gun in one hand, and then shouted softly, letting his fingers emit the faint rays of light of the silver moon.

What you see in front of you is a deep and dark passage, and the location of the hidden wall is the end of the passage.

Underfoot is not mud, but hard and uneven rocks, all around is a slippery rock wall, and some green moss like water grass grows on it. It was extremely dark all around, and under the deliberately maintained shimmering light, Shade couldn't help but think of a lot of terrifying scenes. At this time, he would not be surprised even if there were ugly murlocs in the dark.

The aisle is not very wide, probably enough for three people of Shade's size to stand side by side. As for height, Shade believes that with a light jump, he can hit the wall above in no time.

Because it's so low, you don't have to lift your fingers to see the full picture of your standing position:

"But why no bats?"

He thought to himself I searched under my feet again, but I didn't find any animal feces or footprints:
"It's strange."

The air was damp and cold, the nose twitched slightly, the strange smell poured into the nostrils, putrefaction , Tide fishy. No matter where this place is, probably no human has set foot in it for a long time.

So I increased the rays of light of my fingers a little bit so I could see farther. Only then did I find that where the passageway extended forward, there was a black thing lying there.

After cautiously approaching, I found that it was a group of turtles. These turtles looked hideous in the dark, but only slowly shifted position after being illuminated by the rays of light of the silver moon, it seemed that Shade disturbed them:

“Where the hell am I? ?"

The passage is going forward and slightly downward, which means that the hidden wall at the end of the passage is actually at a high place.

Going out along the passage, you need to be extra careful under your feet, the uneven ground rocks are getting more and more slippery.

This passage is not very long, and it takes about fifty steps to see the end. During this period, Shade saw not only a group of turtles, but also a nest of crabs, a few rotting dead fish and something like anemones.

During this period, he also tried [Echo of Blood] and [Echo of the Past] many times, but he found no trace of human activities. It seems that not only the inside of the wall, but even this passage has been untouched for a long time.

Continuing to walk forward, the sound of water became clearer and clearer, and when it was more than twenty steps away from the hidden wall, there was already a layer of water on the ground. Going forward, the terrain becomes lower and the water goes deeper.

After more than fifty steps, the water had reached Shade's knees. He couldn't continue to walk forward, the rays of light illuminated forward, and he could clearly see that the whole downward passage was completely submerged by water not far away.

He could feel the movement of the water, which meant it wasn't stagnant water but living water, and outside should be
"the ocean."

This is Shade's hand dipped in a little water After tasting the answer, the animals and plants I saw just now also prove it.

Considering that there is sea water in front of this place, and there is actually oxygen in the closed channel with hidden walls behind it, and there are no stomata inside the channel, then it is reasonable to believe that between high tide and low tide During a certain period of time, at least one branch of the channel is directly connected to the outside world.

"In other words, if you enter the water and swim out, it shouldn't take long to reach the outside world."

Thinking in her heart, Shade turned back to the hidden wall and passed The statue returns home again with a suitcase.

Rearrange and return the item to the box, focusing on a dry set of clothing and boots. Then they found a large piece of impermeable canvas left by the former detective, cut and completely wrapped the suitcase.

I found some hemp ropes at home, and after connecting them end to end, I used the remaining rope to tie the strictly waterproof suitcase to the back, and then returned to the place. A cold and damp passage.

I took fifty steps forward, and the water was almost at my knees. Tie one end of the long rope to the rock pillar that protrudes from the ground and water, and tie the other end to your waist.

After confirming that both ends were secure, Shade waded forward, and the fish could already be felt under the water.

After the water surface completely submerged his waist, Shade took a deep breath:

“Spell-Underwater Breathing.”

Dives forward into the water, Just like trying a spell in a water basin before, the eyes can be opened in the water, and when breathing in the water, it is as comfortable as breathing in the air. The feeling of oxygen entering the lungs from the outside world makes the whole body feel pleasant. He stepped on the extremely slippery ground and walked forward with difficulty for dozens of steps, confirming that the water was deep enough, and then swam forward in the winding down channel.

PS：水下呼吸哪里来的，应该不用说了吧.
