    Zhou Yangyang moved slowly and approached the gardeners by the dim wall lamp.  When he came to him, he carefully raised his head and looked at the gardener.  The effect of the invisibility spell was very good, his whereabouts were not revealed at all, and the garden disciples naturally couldn't see him.  But before he held a shining candle in his hand, didn't the gardener even see the candle?

    "Fang Xiaoyuan, come here." Zhou Yangyang turned his head and whispered into the empty air.

    A few seconds later, he felt a hand grabbing the corner of his clothes, and Fang Xiaoyuan's voice came from beside his ear, "I'm here."

    Zhou Yangyang stretched out his hand to touch the ferocious gardener, and found that it hadn't moved.  Unbelieving, he tugged on the gardener's arm again, but there was still no response.

    "Is it asleep?" Fang Xiaoyuan guessed.

    "It's not like." Zhou Yangyang relit the candle, stood on tiptoes, and tried to lift the candle up, close to the gardener's face.  Only then did they realize that the gardener's eyes were tightly shut.  Not only that, it neither breathes nor moves, like a lifelike sculpture.

    Zhou Yangyang moved the candle in his hand to the side, and found that next to this stone statue-like gardener was another gardener.  No, not one, but many.

    "My God!" Fang Xiaoyuan exclaimed, "There are so many gardeners here, I can't even count them!" She now believes that what Re Aqi said is true, she can't handle just one gardener, and suddenly pops up.  With so many coming, no one can escape if they come in.  It's just that these gardeners all stood quietly against the wall, unaware of everything happening around them, as if they had fallen into a deep sleep.

    "Strange, can they really not hear us?"

    Fang Xiaoyuan stepped forward and poked the gardener's body hard, feeling that it felt very soft to the touch like the plasticine used to pinch small animals in handicraft class.  "It turns out that these guys just look majestic, and there is nothing terrible in reality." She sighed.

    "Be careful." Zhou Yangyang reminded her, "If they wake up, we will be in trouble."

    Hearing this, Fang Xiaoyuan immediately withdrew her hand and stuck out her tongue.

    After confirming that the gardeners were not threatening in any way, the two of them moved on.  As he walked, three side-by-side holes suddenly appeared in front of him.  These openings are very narrow, and only one person can pass through at a time. If Fang Xiaoyuan and Zhou Yangyang enter at the same time, they must line up one after the other.  If it is a big fat man, I am afraid that I will not be able to squeeze in even if I try my best, and maybe I will be stuck in the middle.

    Staring at the three identical openings in front of them, the two had a difficult time, not knowing which one to choose.  "It's better for us to walk one side alone, or if we can't do it, we can walk the middle road together." Fang Xiaoyuan suggested.

    Zhou Yangyang immediately vetoed this method, "No. Do you remember that Re Aqi once said before coming in that there are many traps and traps on the director's site. Although these three holes look the same, in fact there should be only one.  It is the real entrance, if you go wrong, you may not be able to get out."

    Fang Xiaoyuan suddenly remembered the dense forest they passed through before breaking into the barren hill, "You mean, there may also be space cracks in it?" She memorized this new term and asked Zhou Yangyang curiously.

    "possible."

    The two stood in front of the cave for a while, until the candy in their mouths was getting smaller and smaller, and it was about to melt.

    "We have to make a decision as soon as possible." Fang Xiaoyuan urged Zhou Yangyang, "Standing here will not save Xiaoyan."

    As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xiaoyuan suddenly heard the sound of kicking footsteps behind him.  At first it was just a distant echo, and then it became louder and louder, as if someone was walking towards them from far and near.

    "Hush!" Zhou Yangyang took Fang Xiaoyuan's hand, dragged her to the wall, and left the central position facing the three holes for the people who came after.

    After a while, a vague black shadow appeared on the opposite stone wall, which gradually grew larger as the footsteps approached, and finally completely covered the entire stone wall.  What a huge guy!

    Although she had successfully become invisible, Fang Xiaoyuan couldn't help holding her breath.  She knew that she was not the only one who was nervous, because the palm of Zhou Yangyang who was holding her tightly was already dripping with sweat.  She could even hear him swallowing while standing beside her.

    These few minutes seemed as long as ten thousand years, until the sound of kicking disappeared, the shadow stopped, and a thin figure appeared at the entrance of the passage.  Completely different from Fang Xiaoyuan's previous imagination, the sound of heavy footsteps and the huge shadow came from a seemingly ordinary little person.  What was even more surprising was that this little person was no different from the classmates she met at school and the half-grown children who ran around in her grandma's village every day, not even much different from her Fang Xiaoyuan.

      Fang Xiaoyuan wanted to share the surprise with Zhou Yangyang when she found out that there was a third human being here besides them, but in order not to be discovered, she had to try her best to hold back the words that came to her lips.

    The little man stood at the entrance of the passage with his hands behind his back, a pair of big eyes wandering around, his sharp eyes swept across the small room, and finally stopped at the three identical holes.  Just as he was about to move forward, a gust of wind suddenly blew from behind, making the clothes on his body rustle.

    The little man turned around, still standing with his hands behind his back.  Soon, two huge black bodies appeared at the entrance.

    Oops!  It's a gardener!  Fang Xiaoyuan yelled in her heart that she was not good.  She who had carefully observed the gardener just now would never be mistaken, those two huge, pitch-black figures, like a cloud of black mist, could not be other fairies except the gardener.  Seeing that the little man had been found, she wanted to rush forward to pull him away, but Zhou Yangyang grabbed her hand firmly and couldn't break free.

    Just as Fang Xiaoyuan was about to speak, his mouth was suddenly covered by Zhou Yangyang's hand stretched out from nowhere.

    "The head of the garden." The two garden disciples did not go up to grab the little man who broke into the site as she thought, but bowed their heads respectfully and called him the head of the garden.  "Xiao Yan has been taken to the dungeon and can be interrogated at any time."

    The little man was unhurried, raised his hand to his mouth, yawned big, and said in a very lazy tone, "No hurry, no hurry, just close it first."  He stretched out his hand and drew a big circle in the air, and took out a golden card from it and handed it to the gardener standing in front.

    "Catch all the goblins on this list and send them to the barren hills. I'm sleepy and I'm going to rest. If you don't have anything important, don't bother me." The little man said seriously.

    "Yes." The gardener took the golden card and left quickly.

    The little man turned around, muttering in his mouth, and the three openings quickly merged into one, turning into a huge wooden door.  Accompanied by the familiar sound of kicking, he walked in unsteadily, and the wooden door was soon split into three identical holes, and restored to its original shape.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
