"right."

He Ao nodded, "Let's take the corridor this time."

The corridor leading from the second underground floor to the third underground floor is at the innermost side of the elevator room, and there are no vines in it.

As long as there is no danger in the corridor, there will definitely be more escape routes through a connected space like a corridor than in a closed space like an elevator.

"good!"

Feiya nodded, her high heels stepping on the ground, and walked to the corridor door aside.

This corridor door had been damaged by some kind of creature, and even the edges of the wall were left with impact marks and some hairs.

"It does look like the traces left by the 'Sheep Demon'."

Feiya looked at those hairs and whispered.

Carlin once said that he saw traces on the corridor door on the third floor that seemed to have been knocked open by the goat demon.

"Um,"

He Ao also came over. He looked at the hair that still looked a bit 'fresh', as well as the damaged lock of the corridor door, and the new impact marks on the wall. "It seems that the sheep demon 'came up' not long ago."

.”

Maybe just in the last year or two.

Thinking of this, he looked back at the dark and deep corridor covered with vines.

According to Carlin's description, when he first arrived at the second underground floor, he was attacked by some ferocious beasts. After realizing that the second underground floor was already very dangerous, he did not explore further to the third underground floor.

Returned to the basement level.

Carlin had explored that corridor and been in this elevator, but when he came here, he didn't seem to be attacked by the snake.

Either the snake hadn't come here at that time, or there were some 'special circumstances' that prevented the snake from moving.

He Ao vaguely felt that he had touched an invisible thread among the chaotic threads underlying this complicated incident, but he seemed unable to fully grasp it.

He still lacks the 'hook' to catch this line.

While thinking, He Ao's movements did not stop. He and Feiya quickly went down. The entire staircase was not long, with only two turns. The only thing that was a little surprising was that there were no monsters in the stairwell.

.

There was very little blood stains throughout the stairwell.

Soon, the two of them went down to the third underground floor.

The corridor door on the third underground floor was also broken open, but from the outside inward.

There was no light outside the door, and the lights in the elevator room must have been damaged.

Heao and Feiya walked out of the corridor door, and the light of the flashlight illuminated the narrow elevator room.

"It's so clean here."

Feiya said with some surprise.

There are still some blood stains here, but compared to the areas they have been to before, the blood stains here are almost negligible.

This elevator room was the most intact and 'cleanest' among the three elevator rooms they had walked through.

And its "completeness" naturally has its reasons.

He Ao picked up the flashlight and looked around, and found a closed gate directly opposite.

Unlike the first and second floors, the gate on this floor was successfully 'closed'.

Now He Ao somewhat understood why those vines came to hold up the gate that was about to close on the second underground floor.

If the gate on the second underground floor is also closed, then the 'thing' originally trapped in the elevator room on the second underground floor may be trapped inside for a long time.

However, although the gate in front of He Ao was successfully closed at this moment, it was not 'complete'.

On the right side of the gate, a gap two people wide opened.

The solid alloy that made up the gate was pierced by some external force, like pierced paper, curling outward and shattering, opening a gap as wide as two people.

"What is this gap?"

Feiya walked towards the crack with a flashlight at this moment. She shined the light of the flashlight into the crack, then she pointed the flashlight downward and paused suddenly, "He Ao, look at this."

"It's the Goat Demon."

He Ao walked over and looked along the light of her flashlight, just in time to see a small goat demon lying behind the gate.

Its eyes widened, and part of its head was shattered, revealing a structure of flesh, flesh, and machinery.

After this gate, there was another gate not far away, which was also knocked open.

He Ao glanced at the place where the gate was knocked open, raised his feet, and stepped over the gate, "Go over and take a look."

There is only one exit in this stairwell. Whether there are four underground floors in the underground palace or not, you have to go out and take a look to find out.

The two crossed this gate, and then found the body of a 'goat demon' again behind the next gate.

There are not only one or two gates lowered in this corridor, but more than twenty. Almost every two gates the two of them pass through, they will find the body of a goat demon, or even several.

"Were they the ones that opened these 'doors'?"

At the end, Feiya looked at the corpse at her feet and asked in a low voice.

"should be."

He Ao nodded and raised his flashlight to shine forward. At this moment, there was only the last gate left in front of them.

This gate has the largest opening, and most parts have been destroyed. It is almost completely open, but at the same time, a behemoth, even bigger than the gate, is blocking the door, with its back facing them.

Feiya also raised her head and looked at the huge creature, and then she looked at He Ao carefully.

"It's okay, keep going."

He Ao walked in front and walked out of the gap between the huge thing and the gate.

Feiya followed closely behind him.

The two of them walked forward a few more steps until they completely left the huge creature behind them, then turned back.

A huge goat demon with a height of seven to eight meters and a huge body sitting on the ground appeared in their field of vision.

This goat demon blocked the entrance of the gate, almost the entire gate was blocked, and there were only gaps on both sides for people to pass through.

"This goat demon..."

Feiya looked at the huge creature and spoke with a trembling voice.

"died."

He Ao said calmly.

In the eyes of the divine consciousness, the internal energy circuit of this sheep demon has long since collapsed, and all that is left here is a huge body.

At this moment, He Ao also had a guess as to what had happened here.

At the moment when the underground palace encounters some kind of crisis, the staff will most likely open the floodgates in a very short time, cutting off the connection between the three underground floors and the two floors above.

After that, these goat demons lived near the gate, hitting the gate day after day. It took hundreds of years to break open the gate, escape from here, and enter the upper two floors.

He Ao turned around and scanned the surroundings. The surrounding area was very empty and there was a three-way intersection. There was no goat demon coming out to attack.

The goat demons he killed on the underground floor before may be the last goat demons.

After they broke open the gate, they all fled above, leaving this huge corpse that might be their ancestor blocked here to deter other monsters.

Perhaps, this is the reason why no powerful monster has appeared on the underground level since the sheep demon appeared.

Those powerful monsters on the third floor may not have noticed that this passage has been opened, and that the sheep demons that "hit the wall" have disappeared.

He Ao withdrew his gaze and looked at the three-way intersection ahead.

There is a main road going straight ahead at this intersection, and two forked roads, one to the left and one to the right.

At this time, Feiya also recovered from the fright of the giant goat demon. She looked at the three-way road in front of her and asked in a low voice,

"Which way should we go?"

"The one on the far left."
