"Just go as you said. Anyway, there are only two roads forward and backward. The prison ladder is probably not too far away. If you can't find it in front, it won't be troublesome to come back." Doakes said.

The Black Earl had no objection, so everyone set out on the journey again, with the goal being the road directly ahead.

Angel has been updating the external situation all the way, which has gradually deepened everyone's understanding of the smelly ditch. As long as the obstacles set by the "unknown" are broken through, no matter how difficult it is, everyone can feel confident.

A bottom.

"Apart from the filthy atmosphere, this place is actually similar to the one above. Maybe, in another hundred or thousand years, the top will become like this...even more ruined." Doakes sighed with emotion and looked around: "

To be honest, I really haven’t seen any traces of monsters.”

Before, Doakes thought that the Black Earl said that there was not much danger here, which was a comfort. But now it seems that the Black Earl was really right.

Angel knew that the Black Earl obtained the answer through prophecy, but the Black Earl only gave the answer. As for why the answer was like this, he did not say.

Angel asked the Black Earl privately, and the Black Earl's answer was vague and sounded like a magician.

But after having been with White Bear for a long time, he is not too familiar with this kind of "slang".

To put it bluntly, the Black Count himself doesn’t know why the answer is like this. But as long as he talks a few nonsense words and uses fate as a shield, he will immediately become more powerful.

Although the Black Earl did not give any constructive suggestions, Angel himself thought about several possibilities.

After all, this place is not far from the Prison Staircase. Could it be that the builders had already considered that the filthy atmosphere would affect the Prison Staircase, so they had taken precautions in advance?

Or maybe, this is actually the territory of a certain big monster, and other monsters don’t dare to intrude?

Of these two possibilities, Angel prefers the first one. Because there really is a big monster. How did the wood spirit escape from the outside into the prison ladder?

Generally speaking, newly born wood spirits are only slightly faster than stone spirits. Even wood spirits can escape into the prison ladder, which shows that the danger here is indeed not great.

After walking forward for about three hundred meters, the road began to open up and the black air around us became thicker and thicker.

Because, as the road opened up, the "stinking ditch" finally appeared.

Literally a stinking ditch.

It was the sewage pipe of Narok City in the past.

Angel didn't let Ermi explore what was in that long ditch. The main thing was that the thick liquid inside was dark and dark, and you could smell the stench just by looking at the color.

After all, the Earl fan is hiding in Angel's shadow. Even if he can't smell it, an Earl fan who has been wandering in the mud ditch will still make Angel feel awkward.

Although the real smelly ditch appeared and the signs of corrosion on the wall became more and more serious, there were still no monsters around.

When everyone was cautious and doubtful, there was suddenly a slight light in front of them.

When they approached the location of the light, they discovered that the light was coming from a fork in the road.

Yes, a fork in the road.

The first fork in the road after they entered the smelly ditch appeared.

However, looking at the illuminated fork in the road, everyone just felt creepy and had no intention of changing the road.

Because the fork in the road is not on the road, but on the wall.

It is very similar to the small hole on the wall before, or in other words, except for the light here, everything else is exactly the same.

If the Black Earl hadn't left a mark next to the small hole, they might have always thought that the dog hole was a road leading to an unknown place. Who would have thought that this hole in the wall could actually close by itself, and when it sensed something alive

When people are young, they take the initiative to open up.

Although they didn't know whether this hole was the same as the previous one, they didn't want to go that way.

What's more, the bright light looks too much like bait.

It was as if he was actively letting people pass by.

When other people came here and saw the darkness, they might be attracted by the bright light, but with the help of Ermi and Angel, their vision was not damaged. Naturally, they were unwilling to break into a narrow road that might be extremely risky.

road.

Ignoring the trail, they walked quickly.

It wasn't until he turned a corner ahead and saw no light that Doakes said, "Lord Black Earl, have you left an olfactory anchor point near the hole? Is it closed now?"

The Black Earl said nothing.

Angel sighed: "You can actually keep a wizard's eye there to observe. You haven't kept it, do you think Lord Black Earl will keep it?"

Doakes: "..." It seems to be true.

Angel: "But if you want to know whether the hole is closed, it's easy."

As Angel spoke, he displayed a light screen in front of everyone.

There was originally a light spot at the edge of the light screen. But slowly, the light spot gradually went out.

"I quietly placed a purely mechanical creation without any fluctuations - the Eye of the Puppet - somewhere far away from the light spot."

"You can see through the puppet's eyes that the light spot has gone out, which means... it is closed."

The other party used the light in the darkness to attract their attention, but Angel could also use the same method to determine whether it was closed.

Now that the answer has been revealed, everyone is even more horrified by the fork in the road.

Although they don't know if the dog hole is a trap or some other "thing", there is no doubt that if they choose that bright road, they will definitely pay a heavy price.

"Could this cave entrance be the same cave entrance as before?" Kael swallowed his saliva and asked.

After a long silence, the Black Earl replied: "I don't know. The cave entrance has been closed before, so I can't tell. But I feel that it shouldn't be."

"But don't worry too much about this hole. No matter it's alive or dead, as long as you don't go in, there won't be any trouble."

Kael's face was still worried: "That's what I say, but if the dog hole is enlarged several times and is based on the ground, which is similar to a normal-sized fork in the road, then it will be difficult to judge."

Kael's worries are not unfounded.

When this happens, it is really difficult to prevent it.
