Chapter 180 Underground Castle
There are indeed signs of human activity underground, and based on what we've observed so far, it looks like an underground castle.
The people inside the castle were dressed very strangely; each person wore a large robe that completely covered themselves from head to toe, and even their faces were covered by various masks.
Huh! What kind of organization is this?
Su Yue had never heard of it.
She had lived in Da'an for several years, but had never heard of such an organization.
Su Yue was very curious about what this place was for, and continued to explore the underground castle with her spiritual power.
As her spiritual power extended deeper into the castle, Su Yue was surprised to discover that there were some people inside who were not wearing masks.
Not only that, but there's also a bustling market here!
It's hard to believe that this underground castle is so large that some areas are beyond the reach of her mental energy.
It seems that if we want to find out for sure whether Dali is inside, we have to go in and investigate.
However, the biggest challenge facing Su Yue at this moment is how to find the entrance and successfully sneak in.
After racking her brains for a long time, Su Yue shook her head helplessly. "Forget it, I'd better go change into something more suitable first."
She quickly returned to her own space, found a black robe, and put it on.
The only thing missing was the black mask, but there were other masks.
It was a little rabbit mask, but she wasn't worried. She meditated to recover while observing the situation outside.
They waited until the east began to lighten and the sky gradually brightened, but they still didn't see anyone walking towards them.
As time ticked by, Su Yue's mood grew heavier, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Su Yue thought to herself, "Am I just going to have to wait here like this?"
Just as she was getting anxious, she suddenly caught sight of a group of people slowly approaching in the distance.
Upon closer inspection, there were about seven or eight people in the group.
As their footsteps echoed, a clear and melodious bell rang out all around.
The sound was particularly loud in the quiet morning. The moment she heard the bell, Su Yue, who had been listless, suddenly perked up and stared intently at the approaching group of people.
As they drew closer, Su Yue finally got a clear look at the group of people.
The person walking at the front was wrapped in a black robe and wore a black mask, making it impossible to see his true face.
Behind him followed several people dressed in black robes and wearing masks, all of whom remained silent, creating an unusually heavy atmosphere.
When the group arrived at the red lantern, the leader, wearing a black mask, reached out without hesitation and pulled the pole with the red lantern hanging from it.
Then, he stood still like a statue, completely motionless.
Not long after, a deep, rumbling sound came from the ground, and then a staircase leading downwards appeared before everyone's eyes.
As the stairwell slowly opened, a musty, decaying smell wafted out.
Just then, a soft footstep sound slowly came from the dark stairwell.
Immediately afterwards, a figure dressed in a manner extremely similar to the person seen before gradually appeared. This person also wore a mask and a black robe.
As soon as the man in black robes stepped out of the stairwell, he stretched out a pale, slender hand.
The man in the black mask who led the group seemed to have anticipated this move.
With quick reflexes, he swiftly and steadily handed the pole with the red lantern hanging from it to the other person.
At the same time, the man skillfully took out a glittering piece of gold from his pocket and placed it on the other person's outstretched palm.
After completing these actions, the group began to descend the stairs in an orderly fashion.
Their footsteps made no extra sound, and when the last person disappeared down the stairs, the whole scene fell into a brief silence.
However, the black-robed man who took the whip and gold did not leave immediately.
He first put the pole back in its original position, then looked around warily, as if to make sure that the surroundings were safe.
Only after confirming that everything was normal did he feel relieved enough to follow the group ahead down the stairs.
As he left, the ground returned to calm, as if nothing had happened and nothing could be seen at all.
Time ticked by, and the surroundings were so quiet that the only sound was the gentle breeze rustling the sand. Again...
After waiting for a while, Su Yue put on the rabbit mask and came out of the space.
She went straight to the place where the red lanterns were hanging, and without hesitation, Su Yue reached out and grabbed the pole, pulling it out forcefully.
Then, just like the previous person, she stood quietly in place, patiently waiting.
Not long after, a muffled rumbling sound suddenly came from underground, and with this sound, the black-robed man who had just gone down reappeared from the stairs.
The man peered at Su Yue through the mask, staring at the rabbit mask for a long time.
Su Yue thought to herself, if this person doesn't let her in, then she shouldn't blame her for being impolite.
Just when Su Yue thought that the man wouldn't let her in and was about to get rid of him...
The man in black robes stretched out his hand, and Su Yue, imitating the man before her, quickly handed over the pole with the red lantern hanging on it, and also placed a piece of gold in the man's hand.
The man in the black robe gently stroked the heavy, gleaming gold nugget in his hand with his thin, bony hand, as if he were in a very good mood.
Then, he raised his head and gave Su Yue a cold glance with his eyes hidden behind the black mask.
He nodded slightly, indicating that she could go in.
Seeing this, Su Yue did not hesitate at all and strode straight in.
The ground beneath her feet was somewhat uneven, but her steps were steady.
The tunnel was filled with an old and decaying smell, and Su Yue continued to walk down the winding tunnel.
Time passed slowly, and after walking for about ten minutes, she finally saw some figures appearing ahead.
The figures of these people appeared blurry under the dim light, and it was only vaguely discernible that they were busily coming and going.
However, Su Yue couldn't help but wonder: where should she start looking?
Just then, she suddenly felt that the people passing by were looking at her with strange eyes.
This gaze made her feel extremely uncomfortable, and she felt increasingly confused.
Just as Su Yue was filled with suspicion, suddenly, a burly man with a fierce face blocked her way.
The man grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and said to Su Yue with a grin, "Hey! Little girl, why are you in such a hurry? Where are you going? Want me to personally escort you there?"
