I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

Chen Jue, Wei Lang and Chen Jia hurried to the Southeast Drum Tower.

This drum tower stands in the southeast corner of the city. Years of erosion have left its walls mottled and its bricks and stones weathered.

As you step into the Drum Tower, a stale and decayed smell hits you in the face, and dust is flying wildly in the faint light coming through the windows.

Chen Jia looked at everything around him intently. The sunlight slanted in through the ancient windows, forming golden beams of light.

In the beam of light, tiny particles of dust jumped like elves.

It was very quiet inside the Drum Tower, with only the sound of their footsteps and breathing.

Chen Jia's gaze followed the light, and suddenly, her eyes fixed and her brows furrowed.

She found that the angle of sunlight and the changes in light and shadow were somewhat strange.

The light, which should have been evenly distributed, appeared here with irregular alternation of light and dark.

Chen Jia stopped, squinted her eyes, and observed the rays of light carefully.

She murmured to herself, "This change in light is unusual. I'm afraid there is a hidden compartment here."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jue and Wei Lang immediately gathered around and followed Chen Jia's gaze.

Chen Jia pointed at the light and said, "Look, under normal circumstances, the light would not be distributed like this. There must be something blocking or changing the light path."

Chen Jue nodded, his expression serious: "That makes sense, let's look for it carefully."

So the three of them began to search everywhere in the Drum Tower, knocking on the walls, touching the floor tiles, not missing any possible place.

Time passed by minute by minute, sweat soaked their clothes, but they still did not give up.

Finally, Wei Lang found a mechanism in an inconspicuous corner.

Chen Jue said excitedly: "Maybe this is it!"

They opened the mechanism carefully, and a secret passage appeared before their eyes.

The three of them did not hesitate and walked into the dark room along the secret passage.

After Chen Jia discovered the secret compartment, when they opened the mechanism and walked into the dark room along the secret passage, they suddenly heard a "click", as if some mechanism was triggered.

Then, the door of the dark room slowly closed, and the surroundings fell into darkness.

They tried to find an exit, but found that the walls around them seemed to be moving, and the familiar space became distorted and strange.

When they finally lit the torches, they saw strange portraits appearing on the walls.

The faces of the characters in the painting are distorted and their eyes seem to be staring at them.

As they groped their way forward, the ground beneath their feet suddenly became soft.

Chen Jue accidentally fell into it. Wei Lang and Chen Jia pulled him out with great effort, but found that it was a bottomless trap.

As they walked further, a cloud of poisonous smoke gushed out from the vents above their heads. They quickly covered their mouths and noses, but still felt dizzy.

After finally avoiding the poisonous smoke, countless darts were shot from the darkness. They dodged left and right, and were in danger from all sides.

Just when they thought the danger was over, a huge stone ball rolled in from the end of the passage with the force of thunder and was about to crush them.

Chen Jia shouted loudly: "Hide to the side quickly!"

The three of them desperately threw themselves to the sides of the passage. The stone balls brushed past them, bringing up a gust of wind that hurt their cheeks.

Before they could recover, the ground began to shake violently again, and cracks quickly spread.

Chen Jue lost his balance and nearly fell into the crack, but Wei Lang was quick to grab him.

At this time, eerie footsteps were heard from the darkness, getting closer and closer, accompanied by low roars.

Chen Jia held a torch in his hand to illuminate the front, and saw a group of huge, ferocious-looking wolfhounds walking towards them.

These wolfhounds are tall, like calves, and are more than one meter tall.

Their bodies are agile and powerful, with clearly visible muscle lines, as if they contain infinite explosive power.

The wolfdog's fur is a dull gray color, with hairs of varying lengths that appear somewhat messy.

They have huge heads, wide mouths, and sharp fangs, like sharp daggers, which seem to be able to bite people easily.

His eyes were sunken in their sockets, gleaming with a ferocious blood-red light, like burning charcoal.

The wolfdog has thick limbs and sharp claws, and every time it runs, there is a whistling sound.

Suddenly, there was a sound of flowing water above their heads, followed by a torrent of water pouring down, instantly pushing them into the underground river.

They struggled desperately in the water, trying to find something to grab onto.

After finally surfacing, they found that the current was pushing them towards an unknown abyss.

The wolfhound jumped into the river and was about to approach the three of them.

At this critical moment, Chen Jia suddenly remembered the animal-repelling incense she was carrying.

She quickly took out the animal-repelling incense from her bosom, lit it and threw it at the wolfhound.

The special smell spread, and the wolfhounds stopped attacking and kept twisting their bodies, seeming to be very resistant to the smell.

Their sense of smell is disturbed and their movements become slow.

Chen Jue took the opportunity to shout, "Quick, run now!"

Wei Lang pulled Chen Jia, and the three of them swam desperately in the opposite direction of the current.

However, the wolfhounds did not give up completely. After the effect of the animal-repelling incense gradually weakened, they began to chase them again.

But at this time, they had bought some time and continued to look for a way out in the secret compartment.

Wei Lang, Chen Jia and Chen Jue struggled desperately in the water and finally swam to shore.

They were soaked through, their clothes sticking tightly to their bodies, but they didn't care about that and immediately ran wildly along the bank of the underground river.

Chen Jia followed Wei Lang and Chen Jue closely. Chen Jue was panting, his hair was wet and stuck to his face, but his eyes were still firm.

The wolfhounds behind him were chasing him relentlessly, and their barking echoed in the dark river, which was creepy.

Suddenly, several wolfhounds rushed up fiercely, pouncing on Chen Jia with bared fangs and claws.

Wei Lang reacted extremely quickly. He swiftly turned sideways and kicked a wolfhound hard in the abdomen.

The wolfhound let out a painful howl, was knocked to the ground by the powerful impact, and rolled several times on the ground.

Then, without hesitation, he threw a powerful punch, hitting the other wolfdog's head accurately.

The wolfhound was knocked dizzy by the fierce attack and staggered for several times before it could barely stand firm.

Chen Jia quickly picked up a wooden stick on the ground and swung it hard at the wolfhound that was rushing towards him.

The wooden stick made a dull sound as it hit the wolfhound heavily.

The wolfhound felt pain and took a few steps back.

But soon, these ferocious guys pounced on him again. Chen Jia gritted his teeth, held the wooden stick tightly with both hands, and confronted the wolfhounds nervously.

Chen Jue was engaged in a desperate fight with a huge and extremely ferocious wolfhound.

He lunged forward fearlessly, grabbed the wolfhound's thick neck tightly with both hands, and pressed it to the ground.

The wolfhound struggled frantically, and its sharp claws left shocking bloody marks on Chen Jue's body.

Chen Jue endured the severe pain, veins popping out on his forehead, and shouted loudly: "Go!"

After Wei Lang repelled the wolfhound in front of him, he turned around without hesitation to help Chen Jia out.

He raised his foot again, swiftly kicking away another wolfhound that was about to pounce on him, and shouted, "Let's go together! No one can be left behind!"
