Watch Out! Danger Ahead Chapter 456 – Launch_2

Chapter 456: Launch_2

“He got off easy!”

The team began to move forward again. Perhaps they had learned from the ■torture’ of the captured gnomes, but they were unobstructed and did not encounter any more sneak attacks.

However, this temporary safety did not make the trial-takers relax. On the contrary, there seemed to be an undercurrent hidden in this calm.

Everyone wiped their sweat. After walking in the dark and narrow tunnel for about 30 to 40 minutes, there seemed to be a faint light coming from the exit ahead. It seemed like they had reached a new exit.

Everyone had been moving forward in the cramped underground cave for a long time with their backs bent like mice. Now that they finally saw the light of dawn, their spirits were lifted and they subconsciously sped up.

Number five was at the forefront. After he crawled out of the cave, he let out a cry of surprise.

The rest of the people also climbed out one after another, with song qingxiao at the back. As soon as she came out of the cave, she was shocked by the scene in front of her before she could even Pat the dust off her body.

A wave of heat swept over, and at this moment, a group of people appeared in the middle of a huge mountain. The middle had been dug empty, and there were long and short unknown vines hanging down from above their heads, swaying above them.

The top of the platform was about too feet high from where everyone was standing. The platform was surrounded by layers of steps that looked like terraced fields. The steps were densely covered with gray-black stones, surrounding the platform in the middle.

Every flight of stairs was separated by a distance of tens of meters, and a fire was lit up, illuminating the entire cave dwelling.

Heat waves kept coming from the underground, and the cave that should have been cold and damp was now warm and dry, driving away the cold air that was brought by the crossing of the underground river.

The most eye-catching thing was that there were more than ten long, pitch-black grooves that connected the platform from top to bottom in different directions, making the place where everyone stood look like a giant hammock. They were connected to the platform by these grooves and hung in the air. At the end of each ropeway was a huge black hole.

Song qingxiao patted the dust off her body. This slight movement made her feel like the ground was shaking.

She furrowed her brows, raised her leg, and stomped her foot with force.

A buzzing sound came from the ground, and the ropeway connected to the platform shook slightly, making the Sound of Metal clashing. The ground shook with the ropeway. Everyone stood on the platform, as if they were on a swing, and looked at the surrounding terraced fields as if they were moving.

It was not an illusion. The platform under everyone’s feet was indeed moving.

This realization made number one and the others ‘expressions turn ugly. They instinctively lowered their backs and stared at their surroundings.

Song qingxiao endured the shaking of the ground and slowly walked to the edge of the platform. As soon as she moved, the ground also shook slightly. Number one subconsciously reminded,”

“Be careful,” he warned.

This place was quite strange. Although it was very quiet, number one felt that there were thousands of eyes in the dark staring at the people who had intruded.

Song qingxiao licked her lips and walked to the side of the platform that was connected to the groove. She reached out and touched it.

The groove was cold to the touch and seemed to be made of some kind of metal. It was polished to an unusually smooth shape. Looking from the bottom to the top, the shape was somewhat similar to the slide ladders in real life kindergartens.

What surprised her was that the craftsmanship of the groove was not rough, and the outside of the groove was even covered with dark patterns.

Looking down from the platform, it was as she had expected. The bottom of the platform had been completely dug out, and only a dozen grooves hung inside the mountain.

Below them was a flight of stairs, and at the end of the stairs, there was a flash of fire. It looked like a huge furnace, with scattered sparks flying in all directions and heatwaves surging up.

“The exit should be one of these passages.”

Song qingxiao pointed at the groove beside her hand and said softly after she had a rough idea of the terrain.

It was obvious that the bottom was not the exit. The correct direction to escape from the Goblin’s lair should be a black hole connected to the groove.

Although he didn’t know which way was the way out, with the fugitives, this wasn’t a problem.

However, these grooves were slanted from top to bottom and were unusually smooth. It was convenient to go from top to bottom, but it was a little difficult to go up from bottom.

Not to mention that this place was called the Goblin’s nest, but so far, other than the first wave of arrows, the Goblin had not launched an attack on song qingxiao and the other outsiders. This was obviously abnormal.

This place was easy to attack and hard to defend, full of danger.

Number one and the other two had similar thoughts as her. The three of them exchanged glances, their eyes revealing a look of vigilance.

“Let’s go first.” Number five transformed into a muscular Vajra. He took a step forward, and the platform that was suspended in the air started to shake.

The iron chain at the connecting groove made a clanging sound as it collided with the metal.

This sound was like a signal. Immediately after, everyone heard ‘ka, ka, ka’ sounds coming from the surrounding mountain walls above them.

This sound was like the sound of gears turning. As the sound rang out, it was as if something heavy had started to roll slowly!

A buzzing sound echoed in the cave. Number five had stopped moving the moment the ground started to ‘move’, but the shaking of the ground did not stop. Instead, it became more urgent.

‘Hua Hua Hua’.

The chain connecting the groove to the ground made a loud noise. Song qingxiao’s expression changed. The escapees who had been standing still began to move when the ground moved.

“Not good.” Number one’s eyelids twitched wildly when he saw this scene. From the black holes in all directions above their heads, there was a muffled Thunder-like sound. At this time, even a fool could hear that the situation was not right. However, these escapees were like wood, as if they were about to start walking.

“Stop! Don’t go!”

Number one looked a little crazy and shouted, but these escapees did not listen to his command at all. They turned in the direction of the cave entrance and slowly walked in a long line.

At this time, the shaking sound on the mountain peak was even more obvious. In addition to the ‘ka ka’ sound of the gears turning, there was also the ‘clatter clatter1 of heavy objects rolling.

This scene combined with the groove, song qingxiao did not need to look to guess that something was about to roll down from the top!
