The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

Lin Yi and Rong Yan looked at each other, then turned back to look at Xu Yiyu who was already walking towards Xiumen, and without asking anything, they followed him tacitly.

Black Cat, who had been worrying about the grouping of more than 30 people, saw that the remaining three people were so understanding, and an expression similar to relief appeared on the little cat's face.

And the moment Xu Yiyu put her hand on the door, Xuanmao suddenly ran over nimbly, and after a few light leverages, he jumped onto her shoulder.

Xu Yiyu's hand paused for just a moment, but his face did not show any frightened expression.

She turned her head to look at the black cat squatting leisurely on her shoulder, smiled, tapped the little guy's head with her other hand, and then turned her gaze back to the faces of her two companions behind her.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or not. Although Lin Yi and Rong Yan have a big age difference, they are both calm and steady and don’t easily show their emotions. It’s very likely that this little guy sitting on her, Xu’s, shoulder deliberately arranged this.

"Captain Lin, Xiao Yan, I pushed the door."

After saying the last words to them before entering the door, Lin Yi and Rong Yan both nodded slightly at her, without any change in their expressions.

She turned around, took a few deep breaths silently, and then without wasting any time, she raised her hand, placed it on the cold cast iron door, and pushed it inside cautiously.

The moment the door opened, the three of them couldn't see anything for a moment. The space separated by the wall was filled with darkness.

Xu Yiyu slowed down his movements, slowly stepped out with his right foot, and stepped into the door.

——Landed safely, with a solid feel underfoot, without missing a step.

She felt a little relieved and took her second step.

After Xu Yiyu's whole body entered this space, it was as if her presence triggered some mechanism in the dark space. After a "click" sound that was almost imperceptible to the ears, the space suddenly became brighter little by little.

When Lin Yi and Rong Yan stepped into the door, almost all the details of the space were clearly illuminated by the burning torches on the four walls.

The cast iron door quietly closed behind the three people and silently disappeared into the only darkness in the space.

As Xu Yiyu looked at the scene in front of him, the expression on his face gradually became solemn.

——To be precise, she couldn't guarantee whether the two people who followed her in could reach the other side of this space safely.

After entering the door, they stood on a suspended square stone platform, which was roughly large enough for six adults to stand.

The entire room was almost perfectly divided into two halves by a narrow stone bridge extending in front of the stone platform.

The stone bridge extends to another stone platform 20 meters ahead. It is less than 30 centimeters wide, barely enough to accommodate two feet of an adult.

Xu Yiyu used all his eyesight to observe the stone bridge carefully and found that there was a black diamond-shaped floor tile every two to three meters on the bridge. The connection with the entire bridge surface was not tight and seemed to be able to be stepped on.

If the stone bridge itself looks ordinary, then the two halves of the space divided by the bridge are really frightening.

Because this was the first time Xu Yiyu saw the "Ice and Fire" embodied.

On both sides of the stone bridge is a deep pit as deep as four stories high.

The bottom of the pit on the left was covered with some bright black unknown substance, on which was burning an orange-yellow flame that seemed to never go out.

The flames seemed to be disturbed by the three people who broke in. The highest flame licked the bottom of the stone platform a few times as if in a provocation. The scorching heat wave that came towards them almost instantly wrapped the left half of the three people's bodies tightly.

Different from the blazing sea of ​​fire on the left, the deep pit on the right hand side of the three people was filled with endless coldness that seemed to be able to freeze a person's blood.

Xu Yiyu squinted his eyes and looked at the familiar black crystals at the bottom of the pit, whose tips were refracting the firelight, as well as the gray frost that had condensed on the pit wall, and frowned almost imperceptibly.

——This is the thing that almost got Xiang Xiaoqiang into trouble before.

Now it seems that this should be ice crystals condensed from some substance, which is why they feel the extremely low temperature as if they were in the polar regions.

The ice and fire on the left and right sides are clearly separated. Although they are in the same space, they seem to be separated by an invisible barrier. The fire cannot melt the ice crystals, and the ice crystals cannot do anything to the fire. They live in peace with each other in a very strange way.

Xu Yiyu tentatively stepped her left foot onto the stone bridge. The flames and ice crystals on both sides seemed to have some sense of each other. The flames almost reached her feet. The spiky ice crystals also emitted an icy aura that doubled, warning the rude intruder.

Rong Yan is a member of the theoretical group of the Chinese team, but no matter how he observes, he cannot tell what the material is at the bottom of the pit on the left and right sides at this distance.

"Although it is one of the three auspicious gates, judging from how dangerous it is... the other gates should be even more dangerous."

"We can't turn back now. We can only move forward."

While Rong Yan and Lin Yi were asking and answering each other, the black cat that had been sitting obediently on Xu Yiyu's shoulder suddenly jumped down silently.

It did not show any fear or discomfort towards the ice and fire. It just looked at the three people for a few seconds, then walked leisurely onto the stone bridge.

The flames and ice crystals on the left and right sides did not attack the black cat. Instead, it became docile as if it was suppressed and no longer arrogant.

After the black cat walked to the second half of the stone bridge, its pace was so leisurely that it seemed like it was taking a stroll in the park. Its fur was not burnt or frozen, and it even looked sleeker than before.

Xu Yiyu remained silent, watching the black cat walk safely to the platform opposite, and his heart slowly sank.

The owner of the black cat should be the owner of this underground palace. Looking at its posture as if it is taking a walk in its own back garden, it seems that it has walked across this stone bridge more than once.

Lin Yi and Rong Yan both noticed the solemnity in Xu Yiyu's expression, so they turned their gaze to the left and right again, trying to observe some clues.

When Rong Yan's sight fell on the bottom of the pit on the left, he suddenly focused and found something wrong.

Among the black matter at the bottom of the pit, there seemed to be some bones that had not been completely carbonized scattered randomly.

——Human bones.

The tip of the black ice crystal on the right pierced through dozens of relatively intact human skeletons like piercing a candied haws.

Even though he had handled so many major cases, Lin Yi still felt a chill when he saw such a strange scene in front of him.

——According to conservative estimates, the ice and fire before their eyes have mercilessly taken the lives of at least dozens of invaders, and turned their bones and blood into nutrients to nourish this place.

Rather than calling this place a world of ice and fire, it would be more appropriate to call it a purgatory of ice and fire.

What the three of them saw was a shock that could not be described in tangible words.

Although Xu Yiyu looked calm, she had the sharpest eyesight among the three and she noticed the corpses of those who died on both sides of the stone bridge at the very beginning.

Even in the circular stone chamber separated by only a door, she had never felt as clearly as she did now that she could be in danger of death at any time.

It would be a lie to say she wasn't scared.

Because the owner of this underground palace is obviously not welcoming to uninvited visitors.
