Chapter 23: Labyrinth

  The scene before me was stunning, the upper part of this cave is just a huge cave, but the other end of the cave is an ice palace that gives people a shocking visual impact.

  I crawled out of the thief's hole, and later Da Zhuang and others also crawled out of the thief's hole one after another. When they saw this magnificent ice palace in front of them, they were all shocked and speechless.

  I carefully measured the ice palace, and I didn't dare to relax for a moment. My grandfather and many others had encounters with the inverted fight here, and many of Grandfather's friends died in the tomb because they relaxed themselves in the grave chamber, which is why my nerves were tense at this moment.

  The ice palace in front of me is not particularly magnificent, if I had to describe it with words, I can only say that it's a miniature version of a large ice palace, without the grandeur of an imperial palace. However, this ice palace, whether in terms of architecture or craftsmanship, seems like a flawless piece of jade.

  I felt that there was nothing wrong with this ice palace, so I beckoned to Da Zhuang and the others, and we walked towards the corridor of the ice palace.

  Suddenly, just as I walked to the entrance of the Ice Palace corridor, I heard a very faint 'ding' sound. This sound was all too familiar to me and Da Zhuang. At this moment, when I heard this sound, I only felt my scalp numb, even though I'm wearing a thick coat now, I feel like there's a gust of cold wind blowing behind me, making my whole body uncomfortable.

  I looked in the direction of the sound, but only saw a white shadow flashing by at the bend of the corridor, its speed was astonishing.

  "What the f**k is that?" I recalled Da Zhuang's voice behind me, and as soon as he finished speaking, Da Zhuang walked quickly into the corridor with two handguns in his hands.

  Ali also saw the white shadow, and immediately followed Dazhuang with a dagger. Seeing this situation, I and **also followed behind and walked towards the corridor.

  The tunnel is not very large, just wide enough for one person to walk through, and the height is not very high, so even someone as tall and strong as Da Zhu can only barely move around inside.

  As I walked along the corridor, there was always a bad premonition in my heart. This bad premonition did not come from the white shadow before, but from the corridor we were walking on at this moment. The corridor stretched out to infinity and we had been walking for over ten minutes, yet we still seemed to be walking along an endless corridor. It felt like walking through a maze.

  I'm not as good as Grandpa's friend, but by feeling the wall, I can tell the basic structure of the tomb. As an architecture student, I can probably guess the general situation of this passageway. "Don't move yet," I shouted.

  After hearing my words, Da Zhuang and others stopped in their tracks. "I said Little Ke comrade, what's wrong? That ghost thing, I won't catch it, my heart can't be put down, damn it, at that time in the hospital, was this noise, could you still get used to it?"

  "Don't mess around, we might have entered a maze." I said calmly.

  After hearing my words, **nodded "I also just felt that something was wrong, we've been walking for over 10 minutes, and at our speed, we should have walked over 1000 meters by now. This path doesn't even have any bends, could it be that the tomb extends outside?"

  It makes sense that a distance of over 1,000 meters can indeed reach the outside of the mountain. Moreover, it is impossible for this tomb to be so large. If there really was such a large tomb, what kind of person would its owner have been?

  "After hearing that, Da Zhuang thought for a moment 'Damn it, what are we going to do? It must be that damned thing playing tricks on us and leading us here. If I catch it, I'll definitely kill it.'"

  I didn't say a word, according to my knowledge, this tomb passage must have been caused by some kind of illusion. If the over 1000 meters we walked was in a straight line, then we should have already exited the mountain, but that's impossible. There is only perennial snow on the Four Niangzi Mountain, if this passage led outside, it wouldn't be in the form of these ice crystals, not to mention the warm air from outside would cause the entire tomb to melt.

  Looking at the viaduct in front of me, I only feel that when I just came in, it seemed like something was wrong somewhere, but I couldn't say what was wrong. If this viaduct is not a straight line, then it must be a winding road, but it can give people an illusion of walking on a straight line, making people produce a wrong mentality. Thinking of this, I involuntarily shook my head. This first time out to fight against the enemy, I encountered such a troublesome thing. If one doesn't solve it well, then three lives will be lost at once.

  My heart was filled with turbulent emotions, and I punched the ice wall beside me in frustration, but it felt like my fist had hit nothing. When I looked up, I saw that my entire fist had sunk into the ice wall, and suddenly a powerful force pulled me towards the wall, sucking me in. The person closest to me reached out to grab me, but his strength was only 1/100 of the suction force exerted by the ice wall on me.

  At that moment, I only felt a blackness in front of me, accompanied by the twisting and piercing coldness deep into my skin, and fainted.
