Chapter 385: Exploring the Secret Tunnel
Although Brian was unhappy in every way, he was a prisoner of the family after all. The private armies that they formed themselves were disbanded, all their property was unjustifiably confiscated, and there was nothing left!
The only thing he cares about now is his own life, at least he must live before he can have hope!
Jia Zhengjin took Brian to the luxurious mansion of the Sea Eagle Chamber of Commerce's headquarters, which had been completely sealed off by the Sea Dragon City Guards. The crowd that was watching the excitement around was also driven away.
"Lord Keane, General Arbas, please!" the soldiers of the guard were in front, leading their group to the warehouse of the large house.
This warehouse is very old, and it is full of spider silk and thick dust. The contents of the interior have been almost moved, and you can see a very hidden passage in the corner at a glance.
"Lord Keane, this is it!" the soldier said, turning around as he led them to the passage.
Jia Zhengjin turned to look at Brian, who was following him, and observed his expression.
"Is there really a secret tunnel?" Brian looked surprised, if he didn't have good acting skills, he really didn't know. He walked to the passage in amazement, and looked inside, "It's pitch black, you can't see anything!"
"Lord Keane, General Arbas," the soldier held a lit torch and gently lowered it into the pitch-black tunnel, "look!"
Jia Zhengjin and Albas stared at the torches in the tunnel at the same time, and in just a few seconds, the torches were automatically extinguished in an instant!
"There's no wind!" Albas stretched out his hand to grope in the tunnel for a while, then turned to Jia Zhengjin and said in a deep voice, "It's weird!"
"Hmm!" Jia Zhengjin nodded. After thinking about it for a moment, he took out a torch he made himself from his virtual backpack and put it into the tunnel for a few seconds.
Not surprisingly, the torch was extinguished!
It seems that even the torch of the product of the system will be extinguished inexplicably! But what is the reason?
"Lord Keane, it's too dark inside!" said the soldier, "and the torches will go out on their own, it's too terrifying, so no one hastens!
"It doesn't matter," Jia Zhengjin gave Arbas a look, "help Brian untie the Ring of Imprisonment!"
"Yes!" Albas wasn't worried about Brian's sudden counterattack after being unlocked, as a mage, and a beginner mage who was not very strong, he could easily subdue himself. Not to mention the god-like Lord Keane, who has the ability to control dragons. Brian couldn't escape at all, there were all Sea Dragon City soldiers inside and out, and if he dared to make any abnormal move, he would immediately shoot into a hornet's nest.
Brian is not stupid either, and certainly doesn't joke with his own life. So after being untied from the lock ring, he just moved his hands and feet, and then looked at Jia Zhengjin: "Return my staff, otherwise I won't be able to cast magic!"
"Here!" Jia Zhengjin took out his magic wand from his virtual backpack and threw it casually. This kind of ebony staff with only basic attributes, he couldn't look at it at all, "Do you have a magic that can explore the way?"
"I've learned the most basic illumination, I don't know if it works!" Brian picked up his wand, took a few deep breaths to ease his tension, and then waved his staff and uttered a simple incantation.
"Huh!" As his spell stopped, a white ball of light suddenly appeared on the tip of his magic wand. The white ball of light seemed to stick to the top of the magic wand, emitting a gentle glow that was shiny but not dazzling.
Brian reached his wand into the tunnel and waited a few seconds. The ball of light did not disappear, which made everyone present look excited.
Seeing this, Jia Zhengjin said to Brian: "You, go in first!"
Although he can light the way ahead, Brian is actually very scared in his heart. It's just that there is no choice at the moment, so I can only be obedient.
Jia Zhengjin waited for him to enter the tunnel and walked for more than ten meters before he asked, "How is it? Is there anything abnormal?"
"Nothing!" replied Brian.
"The torch went out, and I thought it was due to the lack of oxygen. Jia Zhengjin saw that he didn't have anything to do, so he pondered for a moment, "It doesn't seem that this is the reason! There should be oxygen in the tunnel, but there is also some kind of fire-suppressing substance that makes the flame unable to burn continuously." It seems that there are countless strange things in this other world!"
"Do you want to go inside?" asked Brian, seeing him pondering.
Jia Zhengjin glanced at him, turned to Arbas and said, "I'll go in with him and find out what secrets are in the tunnel! Leave some people to guard the perimeter of this house, and you go back to maintain the security of Sea Dragon City! Those private soldiers have just surrendered, and they must be closely monitored!"
"Yes!!" Albas wouldn't worry about Jia Zhengjin, a god-like character still needs a small character like him to worry about?
Jia Zhengjin held a stun gun, quickly entered the tunnel, and said to Brian in front: "Okay, you go ahead, responsible for lighting me!"
"Then you have to make sure I'm safe!" Brian also knew that the person in front of him was a strong man who could control the dragon, and entering this unknown tunnel, a low-level mage like him would not be of much use.
"As long as you're honest!" If he could, of course Jia Zhengjin would try to protect him. After all, Brian's lighting technique is now an important part of his own exploration of the tunnel. But if he encounters real danger and can't cope with it himself, he will decisively abandon this person and escape with his own invisibility cloak!
Brian didn't know what Jia Zhengjin was thinking, and after getting his answer, his heart relaxed a little. In his opinion, there is a super strong person who can control the dragon to protect it, then there is nothing to be afraid of!
Although the entrance to the tunnel is not large, it is quite spacious inside. In Jia Zhengjin's view, it is a bit similar to the train tunnel of his own world, except that this tunnel is longer and farther.
The two men walked down the straight tunnel, guided by Brian's illumination. After walking for more than ten minutes, I still couldn't see a turnaround. There is no exit in front of you, no entrance in the back, and the two of them walk in the same tunnel as before, and there is an illusion that they are not moving forward for half a minute at all, as if one is standing still!
After walking for more than five minutes, Brian became nervous, and turned around and asked, "Are we in the labyrinth? Why can't we get to the end? And it's so weird here, there isn't even a single bug! Could it be some kind of magic circle?"
Speaking of the magic array, Jia Zhengjin thought of the labyrinth enchantment that Connie had arranged for his Holy Dragon City before. But on second thought, it shouldn't be: "Keep going!"
"Alright!" Brian was scared, but he could only take another step.
