Why did you mess up the copy again?

The image flickers on and off, appearing for a while and disappearing again, but what is certain is that since entering the corridor, the total duration of their appearance has become longer and the frequency has become higher.

Li Rui didn't know what happened to Duan Ling and others, but judging from the results, these people were going to the same destination as him.

"Could it be that they are also here for She Lei?"

"Or is it some kind of fire demon underground?"

Thinking about it this way, he felt that it was really possible.

Judging from the patterns on the walls of the corridor, this place was built by the Flame Elf tribe, and there might even be a Flame Demon King locked inside.

"Well, I understand, we need human sacrifice!"

The more Li Rui thought about it, the more it made sense.

"There is something here that requires soul sacrifice to gain power. It may even be the Lava Ancestor. I understand! It wasn't completely dead back then. It was buried by the Flame Spirit here. Now someone wants to resurrect it. , so human sacrifices were used, and because their souls were damaged, Duan Ling and the others were unable to wake up in reality."

Li Rui was originally excited because he had analyzed a possible truth, but suddenly he felt something was wrong.

"Then if you say that, wouldn't they really be gone?"

"Wait a minute, why do I always think of using human sacrifice to resurrect something? Because I've seen it before, where have I seen it?"

"."

I remembered it, I remembered it all.

Normal people generally wouldn't think of human sacrifice techniques at every turn, but Li Rui had dealt with Zuo Qoutian too many times and was extremely familiar with this method.

He shook his head to clear away the distracting thoughts.

"No, I can see their images at that time, which means there is something fishy going on."

Li Rui continued walking along the corridor. After an unknown amount of time, there was a fork in the road ahead.

He stood at the intersection and looked around, and saw a sneaking image deep in one of the forks, so he quickly followed it.

No matter what, they at least pointed the direction for themselves.

The deeper you go in, the burning feeling becomes stronger, and even the damage caused by the burning state becomes stronger.

Lava begins to flow on the road ahead, and sometimes it spurts out of the walls.

However, these things were not a big threat to Li Rui. He followed them all the way, and it was a long journey, and the road ahead suddenly became clear.

The center of this mountain is almost empty, and it is much more open than imagined.

Once here, there is no need to use the blue silver light ring to illuminate. There are flowing fires everywhere, and the only places where you can stand are floating rocks. If you are not careful, you will step into the air and fall into them.

In the center of the mountain, there is a magma lake with an isolated island in the lake.

[Hidden mission update: Find the place where Thunder was born. ]

That can only be on an isolated island.

Li Rui looked around and found no living creatures or more images, so he could only cross the floating rocks in the magma lake and reach the isolated island in the center.

There were no burning flames on the island, only a thin layer of smoke rising from the scorched earth. Everything was dark brown, as if it had been burned away by a fire.

At this time, he noticed that the key in the inventory was flashing. He took it out and looked at it, and found that the branch, which was still green after being separated from the mother body, was floating in his hand, leading the direction like a compass.

Li Rui hurriedly walked in that direction. The closer he got, the more active the branches became. It was obvious that the target was right in front of him.

Unexpectedly, in the end, the place where the branches pointed was a deep pit, two or three feet in diameter, with nothing in the middle.

[No target, hidden mission failed. ]

"."

Li Rui narrowed his eyes and stared at the deep pit in front of him.

It seems that it was a step too late, and She Lei was taken away.

No further reasoning is needed, it must be the person who took Duan Ling, Yuxin and others into the heart of the mountain.

He clenched the diamond umbrella tightly, suppressing the frustration in his heart.

"Calm down, maybe there is a way."

"There is a question that has not yet been answered. Why do those shadows appear?"

Although I don't know if it has anything to do with the disappearance of She Lei, the suspicion at least means a turning point, even if there is only a faint hope.

He took a few steps back, opened his blood eyes, and then discovered that the space here was much more volatile than outside.

There are similar fluctuations in several places on the island.

He thought for a moment and ran towards the place closest to the landing location.

When he ran to a position that was still more than ten meters away from the wave, the wave unfolded again. The difference was that this time what was stimulated was not a dynamic figure, but a real land one foot wide.

Li Rui was surprised to find that the land was not scorched black, but had a vibrant lawn growing on it.

In other words, life that did not originally exist appeared on this deserted island surrounded by lava.

He approached the junction of the two spaces, stretched out his left hand, penetrated the changed and vibrant space, and grabbed a handful of grass on the ground.

pull.

Retract.

Li Rui looked at the grass in his hand, then at the charred land under his feet, and raised his eyebrows.

"Two different spaces are entangled together?"

He leaned into the grassy space, and a new prompt appeared.

[Hidden mission: Find the place where Thunder was born. ]

"Could it be that"

Return.

[Hide mission failed. ]

Reach out.

[Hidden mission: Find the place where Thunder was born. ]

This time, he raised his head and looked around, and found that his guess was correct. The vibrant island belonged to another time and space. Here, Shelei had not been taken away. There was no big hole in the center of the island, but a withered tree in its place. Standing next to the tree were Yu Xin, Duan Ling and others, as well as a familiar face.

Brother Zuo!

There are eight life-support capsules in the Medical Center of the Ministry of Supernatural Powers.

According to regulations, any secret agent trapped in the secret realm must maintain his or her vital signs in reality for at least fifteen days, which may be extended depending on the circumstances.

If there are witnesses confirming his death, fifteen days is enough. If there are no witnesses, or some other special circumstances, the time may last longer.

Because even if you lose consciousness, sometimes it's just because the soul is shocked, you still have a chance to wake up on your own after a while, so even if you witness death in the secret realm, you must observe it in accordance with the regulations.

Duan Ling, Yu Xin and others were among those who had no witnesses. Because all of them were trapped, their condition could not be judged.

According to the instructions of the superiors, the observation period for the first batch is thirty days. An observation report must be formed and submitted every day. On the last day, the superiors must be asked whether to extend the observation period.

Because of the special situation and high staff potential, there are people on duty in the room 24 hours a day to report the situation at any time.

The person on duty today is a middle-aged woman with very senior qualifications.

She is measuring the physiological indicators of all sleepers one by one to form the first data conclusion today.

"What a shame, these young men."

Seeing these promising new secret agents lying here motionless, she felt sympathetic and sad.

But just when she grabbed Yu Xin's wrist and was about to measure her pulse, her whole body suddenly became stiff and her breathing became heavier and heavier.

After no more than three seconds of shock, she immediately checked the markings on everyone one by one, and finally picked up the intercom phone on the wall.

"Report to Cheng Wen, no, Commander Cheng, the seals of the eight people in room 1903 have reappeared. All of them, everyone has appeared."

In less than two minutes, the news reached Cheng Wen, the commander-in-chief of the secret battlefield. He was organizing a meeting of the command level to select a replacement list.

After getting the news, the conference room immediately became excited.

"Is there really a miracle?"

"How could such a thing happen?"

Even these senior officials were surprised and puzzled by the unexpected development.

At this time, only a figure as fat as a ball remained silent.

Cheng Wen held back his excitement and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Kong Ji shook his head slightly, as if he was thinking intensely. After a while, he said seriously: "Contact the Huangliang branch first. As far as I know, there is someone there who also entered the Peach Blossom Empress's tomb today. It is difficult to say that this is a person." coincide."
