Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 998: Chapter 1007: An Acquaintance (Part 1)

Their original desire to survive wasn’t very strong.

After Lin Xi’s words, they lost even more of their will to survive, looking soulless, leaning against the wall.

That demeanor seemed to be not far from death.

Lin Xi didn’t intend to question the two anymore. Instead of asking questions, it would be better to go and look immediately.

He scanned the stone chamber and immediately discovered the hidden door.

Once he entered the hidden door, the two people leaning against the wall gradually awoke from their trance.

"He went in?"

"He went in!"

"Actually, we don’t know what it’s like in there!"

"Hmm!"

"But there shouldn’t be any danger in there, right?"

"I don’t know. Anyway, we can’t get out. Each of us has lost almost all our gear, so eventually, we will either starve or die of thirst!"

"Whether they will starve or die of thirst, I don’t know, but what I do know is that we will definitely die of severe injuries first."

"Sigh!"

The two looked desolate; they were both family men.

Even though entering the Holy Land meant that if something happened to them, their families would receive a large sum of money.

But still, whether one is around or not makes a world of difference.

At this point, they didn’t have much fear.

In fact, having come this far, they didn’t really value life and death anymore.

"I think those people went in to look for spirit stones and secret manuals, which is completely unnecessary! After all, we can’t get out; what’s the use of finding those things? Can they really make a breakthrough? Look at their age!"

"You’re right!"

"Even if there’s hope for a breakthrough, in the current conditions, it’s impossible to have the material conditions to support it!"

It should be noted that once Lin Xi made a breakthrough, he consumed a lot of things and also had the Golden Finger from the Jade Pendant Space.

And now, these people not only lack the Golden Finger, but they also have no food, not even a drop of water.

Shortly after passing through the hidden door, Lin Xi found a more expansive space, like a plaza.

"If I’m not mistaken, I’ve been going upward all along!" he thought to himself.

"If I kept going upward, in principle, the space should get smaller!"

"After all, this is a mountain, similar to a pyramid shape. So why is it so big?"

Discovering this plaza suddenly made him extremely curious.

Around the edges of the plaza, at intervals of five or six meters, there was a passage.

He roughly counted, and there were about thirty or so passages.

"What exactly is inside these passages?" he wondered.

Also, in front of these passages, some places had footprints, and others did not.

The ones with footprints must have had someone go through them.

Needless to say, it must be Avril and her group.

But with so many footprints, which passage did Avril take?

Originally, he could discern which passage Avril took based on scent, but there were four routes inside that had Avril’s scent.

"Just randomly choose one, try my luck!" Without hesitation, he proceeded into one of the passages.

Entering the passage, he didn’t move at top speed, but slightly faster than a normal pace.

After all, no one could predict what kind of danger was inside.

Moreover, he thought, if even a giant bear in the Holy Land had mid-Innate strength, then surely the master of the Holy Land would be even more powerful.

The most crucial places in the Holy Land could not possibly be unguarded.

Even after many uncountable years, some things, even remnants, could still be extremely dangerous.

Along the way, until he reached the stone chamber, he encountered no danger.

Of course, some places featured dangerous mechanisms, but due to the passage of time, they posed no threat anymore.

The stone chamber, apart from having traces of being disturbed, was practically empty.

Maybe things were there before, but now, they had turned to ashes.

"Avril isn’t here!" he said.

However, he didn’t leave immediately, searching for a while in the stone chamber but finding no other hidden doors.

It seemed that this was just a living area for some people in the Holy Land.

Following that, he quickly left this stone chamber and headed back to the courtyard before entering another passage with Avril’s scent.

This passage also led to a stone chamber.

Once again, he didn’t see Avril, only some traces of disturbances.

Returning to the courtyard and looking at the last two passages left, Lin Xi did not rush in.

Now, it’s almost certain, Avril is in one of them.

At the same time, he noticed something, that some of the passages which previously had no traces now did.

"Could someone have come out from another passage and entered?"

If that’s the case, there was no point in going in to search. He could just wait here for Avril.

It seemed that there wasn’t any danger around here.

Less than thirty seconds later, he heard footsteps coming from one of the passages.

Soon, he saw three white men coming out from one of the passages.

These three people were tattered and all had significant injuries, but compared to the two outside, they were quite a bit better off.

"Who are you?" They asked, looking at Lin Xi in puzzlement.

"Who are you?" Lin Xi retorted.

"Why should we tell you?"

The three of them obviously harbored a cautious attitude towards Lin Xi, whose identity was unknown.

When they came in, there was no sign of Lin Xi, and he was an Easterner at that.

Could he be someone from inside the Holy Land?

Thinking this way, they immediately prepared to fight.

After all, outside the stone door, a giant bear was guarding, and ordinary people could not get in. Even they, one Innate Powerhouse and two Peak Soldier Kings, couldn’t get through.

They would be killed by the giant bear.

As for him, unless he was someone from the Holy Land, it was impossible for him to get past the giant bear.

"You’re not going to tell us?" The three of them smiled.

Clearly, at this point, they had already assumed Lin Xi was someone from the Holy Land.

If they could capture him, they’d have a chance to escape.

"Are you planning to make a move?" Lin Xi found it amusing. These three, with their current condition lacking half their strength, wanted to take him on. How absurd.

Even at their prime, they wouldn’t be a match for him.

"Are you courting death?" he said again.

He didn’t come in to kill anyone.

However, if these three didn’t know better, he wouldn’t hold back.

Just as the three were about to teach Lin Xi a lesson, two more people emerged from another passage, bearing similar injuries to the first three.

"You arrived just in time. We suspect this person is from the Holy Land. If we capture him, we have a chance to escape from that giant bear!"

Seeing the two come out, one among the three immediately started talking to them.

The two also looked at Lin Xi with suspicion, doubting this suddenly appeared person.

However, one of them, a Peak Soldier King, had a change in expression and exclaimed, "Mr. Lin?"

Lin Xi was surprised, "Do I know you?"

In his memory, there was no impression of this person; maybe they met but were deemed unimportant and ignored.

The person showed a bit of embarrassment, "Mr. Lin might not know me, but I know Mr. Lin!"

The others had a bewildered expression, "Hawke, who is he, how do you know him?"
