deep underground.

Xiao Ning moved forward all the way, and soon came to the next underground space.

This space is much more spacious than the one above and has natural light.

"How can there be light here?"

Xiao Ning was puzzled.

You must know that Varuk is completely out of sunlight now, and other cold light sources must also be dark enough.

However, the natural light source here is so bright that it almost blinds the eyes.

Varuk could never live in such a place.

"Am I mistaken? Varuk isn't hiding here?"

Xiao Ning doubted his own judgment.

When he was just on the ground, he was absolutely sure that Varuk must be hiding here.

But after actually coming down, the various situations he saw were different from his guess.

"Or Varuk's old injury has almost recovered."

Another thought flashed in Xiao Ning's mind.

After all, Varuk was not afraid of the sun when he was young, everything became like that because of his injuries.

So as long as the old injury recovers, photophobia is no longer a problem.

The more Xiao Ning thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high.

Maybe Varuk was lucky, and he repaired his injuries with the help of the lava gate.

"Look around first to see what's in this place."

Without thinking too much, Xiao Ning quickly searched this place.

The light source here is very bright, so the line of sight is excellent, and he can easily see the surrounding details clearly.

Coupled with the sweeping of his consciousness, he searched extremely fast.

In less than two minutes, he checked the place completely.

"Nothing."

Xiao Ning sighed.

There are several passages leading to other branch caves in this place, but after entering that branch cave, Xiao Ning found nothing.

The several branch holes are all empty, without anything, and without any traces of man-made.

"Could it be that there's room below here?"

Xiao Ning looked down at the ground again.

There is nothing in this room, but it cannot be ruled out that there are other spaces below.

"Look further down."

Xiao Ning quickly made a decision.

In fact, he had no other choice at this time.

Because now Taiyi is searching for his traces everywhere on the ground, making it impossible for him to return to the ground.

So I can only continue to explore down to see where this guy Varuk is hiding.

Without further hesitation, Xiao Ning continued to drill down.

All the way forward, before he knew it, he had advanced more than two hundred meters deep underground.

This kind of depth is deep enough for ordinary people, but it is not a big deal for an extraordinary powerhouse like Varuk.

Another point is that Varuk may have been brought here directly by the mysterious power in the Lava Gate.

So it is entirely possible to appear in a deeper underground.

"There is nothing here, it seems that we have to go to the depths to take a look."

All the way down, Xiao Ning didn't find anything, there was only continuous rock and soil on both sides.

So he had no choice but to continue to drill down.

Half an hour passed quickly.

In this half an hour, Xiao Ning went down nearly a kilometer.

The depth of more than one thousand meters is really very deep.

And after advancing so many distances, Xiao Ning finally made a new discovery.

He found that there was a surge of air everywhere around him, so it could be seen that there must be an underground space around the rock and soil.

Xiao Ning observed carefully for a while, and after checking with his spiritual sense, he finally decided to go to the east for a certain distance to have a look.

Just do what you say, Xiao Ning immediately took action and walked eastward all the way.

After advancing for about ten meters, I heard a splash in front, followed by a rustling sound.

Xiao Ning found that he had dug a hole, and there was an empty room in front of him, and now the rock and soil he dug out were constantly falling into that empty room.

That's why there was a series of rustling noises.

"Sure enough, there is no way out, there is no way out, the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, and there is another village."

Xiao Ning thought to himself, at the same time, he pushed forward and jumped into the empty room.

And when he entered it, he instantly found that this empty room was completely different from the two spaces above.

Firstly, the light here is dim, which is very suitable for Varuk to hide in, and secondly, the layout of this place obviously seems to be inhabited.

"Okay, Varuk is likely hiding here!"

"When I find him, I will press him hard and ask all the secrets of the Lava Gate!:"

Xiao Ning was full of confidence.

He had fully figured out Varuk's strength last time, and it was far below him.

It's just that the power that Varuk possesses is different from that of a cultivator like him, so when he saw Varuk for the first time, he thought that the opponent was difficult to deal with.

"As long as Varuk can be found, everything will no longer be a problem!"

Xiao Ning was not afraid of Waruk, and quickly searched in this empty room.

In front of him, there are a total of three entrances to the passages arranged in sequence.

Xiao Ning didn't know which passage was the right one, so he chose the leftmost entrance in order.

"Let's go inside first."

Xiao Ning walked forward.

His pace was fast, and he kept moving forward after entering the passage, and soon came to the other end of the passage.

This is a room where these sundries are placed, but at the other end of the room, there is another entrance to the passage.

"This is definitely where Varuk is hiding!"

Xiao Ning thought very firmly in his heart.

This place is obviously inhabited, and in this area, only Varuk is an extraordinary strong man who has mastered extraordinary power.

So there is no doubt that this place is most likely to be Varuk's hideout.

After figuring this out, Xiao Ning's confidence soared.

Now there is hope of finding Varuk.

Without stopping, Xiao Ning went straight to the passage entrance at the other end of the room after quickly checking the sundries here.

Entering it, he moved forward quickly, and soon came to the end of this passage.

"Huh? Here?"

As soon as he left the passage, a scene that made Xiao Ning quite concerned came into his eyes.

This room is very large and rectangular.

On the edges of the walls on both sides of the room, there are two densely packed rows of glass jars.

The glass jar is made of frosted glass, so it's impossible to see what's inside.

Xiao Ning could only vaguely see that there seemed to be some kind of liquid inside.

"Nine out of ten things in this jar are filled with living things."

Xiao Ning nodded secretly.

After Valuk was seriously injured, he couldn't face the sun, so he had been trying to find a way to treat him.

And the method he adopted was to refine potions.

Like the last time Varuk caught him, he was going to let the great alchemist refine him into a potion.

"The goods in these jars must also be used to refine potions."

Xiao Ning looked around while walking forward.

He counted, and there were a hundred glass jars in total, with fifty on each side.

And the specifications of these one hundred jars are exactly the same, so they are neatly stacked on both sides.

It's just that there are too many, and it looks a bit dense.

After walking to the other end of the room, Xiao Ning stopped, turned around and looked at the glass jars that filled the room.

"How to deal with these things? Are they all destroyed or not?"

Xiao Ning rubbed his chin, undecided in his mind.

According to his inner thoughts, it must be best to smash him all.

But he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.

After all, he still doesn't know what is in these glass jars.

Another point is that Varuk, an old man, knows something about their immortal cultivators, but he knows very little about Varuk.

Not only did he not know how Varuke cultivated, but he also didn't know what path Waruke took.

So if you act rashly, things will definitely be troublesome.

"It's better to be careful."

Xiao Ning shook his head slightly, but finally decided not to touch these mysterious glass jars.

He thought to himself that since Varuk wanted to keep things in glass jars, it must be difficult to release these things easily.

So Varuk probably wouldn't take the initiative to come over and release the contents of the jar.

Without thinking about it, Xiao Ning turned his head and walked into the passage behind him.

That's right, at the end of this huge room, there is another passage.

Not knowing where this passage leads, Xiao Ning decided to go in and explore.

"Varuk's hiding place is completely like a maze. I couldn't find anyone for a long time. Maybe he took the opportunity to run or hide."

Xiao Ning was worried.

He couldn't find Varuk immediately, and Varuk had time to take some action.

As for whether to hide or run away, it's hard to guess.

"I can only find it as quickly as possible."

Xiao Ning thought to himself.

But he thought so, but he couldn't really get up fast.

After all, the ghost knows what's inside this maze that extends in all directions. If you fall into the trap recklessly, it will be a lot of fun.

So Xiao Ning can only find as fast as possible under the premise of ensuring safety.

thump thump—

Xiao Ning hurriedly walked, and soon came to the end of this passage.

As he expected, this passage leads to another room.

In this room, there are boxes of different sizes, and the materials of the boxes are different.

With a glance, Xiao Ning saw not only the tin box, but also the wooden box and the stone box.

"Is it a storage room?"

Xiao Ning guessed in his heart.

Touching his chin, he strode forward and stopped in front of the nearest box.

After reaching out to knock and observe carefully for a while, he still decided to move on and find Varuk first.

Not only what is in these boxes, at least as far as I can see so far, there shouldn't be any danger.

"This place is really too big, when will we find that guy Varuk?"

Xiao Ning was already a little annoyed.

This hiding place of Varuk is really too complicated, completely different from what he had imagined before.

When he saw three passages in that empty room at first, he thought that each passage led to only one room.

So as long as you check the three passages one by one, you should be able to find Varuk's whereabouts.

As a result, after entering the leftmost passage, the following passages followed one after another, and there was no end to it.

"I have to admit, this guy is really good at hiding."

Xiao Ning continued to move forward and quickly walked to the next room.

Soon, he walked out of the passage he was currently in.

On the other side of the passage is a medium-sized room, in which various instruments and utensils are placed.

Xiao Ning had seen some of them in Waruk's underground castle. When the great alchemist was about to use him to refine medicine, he asked people to bring many instruments and utensils over.

Of course, even if he met him before, Xiao Ning still couldn't pronounce his name.

After all, these are all left over from the Middle Ages, and their origins and uses have long been lost.

"Don't move around."

This time Xiao Ning didn't have any thoughts, he just walked towards the front passageway.

It can be seen that Varuk regards this hiding place as a second underground castle.

All kinds of things I saw were the backups that Varuk hid here.

It is estimated that he is going to use these collections here to make a comeback.

"I have made a feud with this guy, and I must not let him have a chance to make a comeback. After finding him this time, I must kill him completely."

Xiao Ning secretly made up his mind.

After finding Varuk, as soon as he asks the secret he wants, he will be decisively killed.

There will be future troubles if such a person is kept.

Holding such belief, Xiao Ning quickly went to the next room.

This room was piled with sundries again, but overall it was clean.

Of course, these things that are miscellaneous in Xiao Ning's eyes may be treasures in Waruk's eyes.

Xiao Ning didn't stop, and quickly walked towards the passageway at the other end of the room.

After searching so many rooms one after another, he has gradually adapted to the environment here, so the pace of his feet has obviously accelerated a lot.

Although there are dangers everywhere here, Xiao Ning feels that even if there is danger, it is within his controllable range.

whoosh whoosh—

Xiao Ning's figure flashed rapidly, and he ran straight in this underground labyrinth.

He was very anxious, for fear that Varuk would take advantage of this time to escape.

"Absolutely don't let this guy get away!"

Running all the way, Xiao Ning suddenly came to an extremely spacious room.

This room is much larger than the room full of glass jars just now.

Xiao Ning looked up and found that the ceiling of this room was thirteen or four meters high from the ground.

"This room is probably the center of the entire underground labyrinth."

After a quick glance, Xiao Ning came to this conclusion.

In this huge room, there are many entrances and exits on the wall. Xiao Ning guessed that these passages lead to other places.

"If this is the center of this underground labyrinth~lightnovelpub.net~, then how big is this underground labyrinth?"

Xiao Ning really felt troubled now.

He had just explored all the way, and he didn't know how many rooms he had explored. Judging from the openings on the wall of this huge room, there were countless rooms like the one just now in this underground labyrinth.

So if you want to check everything, it will definitely take a lot of time.

"Varuk will definitely take advantage of this time to escape."

"Or he doesn't have to run at all, just play hide-and-seek with me in these rooms, and I'll have a hard time finding him."

Xiao Ning only felt that one was bigger than the other.

He had to admit that this time he underestimated Varuk.

Varuk, an old antique who has lived for an unknown number of years, is indeed not simple, but has a profound heritage.
