I'm really afraid of something, Hu Yaya just wanted to find an excuse to get by, but she didn't expect to be asked a key question directly.

"It's not!"

"Definitely not, as the empress of the fox demon clan, how can I be so timid, please don't associate this kind of woman with me, this is a shame on me." Qin Zhao originally just spoke casually and didn't say much, but he didn't expect this guy's reaction to be extremely excited. I struggled to cover it up and explain what I had just done.

"Please respect me!"

"How can I be afraid of the dark in my Great Yuan Realm. ”

As the saying goes, the more you explain, the more you are hiding your shortcomings, Hu Yaya remains silent, if she doesn't answer, maybe others won't be able to see it, but her series of reactions is really cute.

A true tsundere attribute through and through.

"Okay, you're not afraid of the dark, then I'll go first. ”

"You stay in this place first, I'll go ahead and observe, if anything I find, I'll report to you at any time, don't move, I'll be back shortly." "The further you go, the narrower the secret passage becomes, which is not suitable for two people to act together, not to mention the special physical consumption, Qin Zhao proposed to go alone.

He moves fast and, as a man, has better physical strength.

Move more with less, be able to find the exit in the fastest time, if the striker is a dead end. It will also save half the time to rush back, which is much more efficient than two people.

"I don't agree, it's not appropriate. ”

"Besides, my physical strength is not much worse than yours!"

"Why go it alone. After Hu Yaya heard this, she hurriedly made excuses and raised her role to the highest level as much as possible.

"We're all in this together!"

“......”

The empress has a very stubborn temper, and she really can't resist her, so Qin Zhao shrugged helplessly, and sighed in her heart, sometimes women are really difficult to deal with. If not handled properly, it can also have serious consequences.

Subsequently!

The two of them advanced for nearly a kilometer in the dark river, but unfortunately, they did not find the so-called exit, but fortunately, the two saw a large light, and where there was light, it meant an exit! The courage to live has also improved a lot, but.

After passing through that light.

Instead of finding an exit, the two saw a huge chessboard.

Neatly laid out and neatly arranged.

It's like a hall, and there's no cave.

"What is this?"

"It's too exquisite. ”

Qin Zhao walked in front, and the moment he climbed out, he was stunned by the scene in front of him, the huge chessboard was sealed here, judging from the dust accumulated on the surface, it was at least a few hundred years old.

However, these exquisitely carved chess pieces have not decayed, nor have the slightest trace of destruction, and still retain their original state. Delicate and gorgeous, it can be seen that this huge chessboard has definitely been created through exquisite craftsmanship and many years of consumption.

Every detail is taken care of.

The chessboard is square in shape, similar to ancient chess.

But no one could understand the words written on it, Qin Zhao was very curious, and leaned forward to blow the dust on the chess pieces.

What is revealed is a special symbol.

He was a little concerned, and sighed in his heart, what is this? Is it a word or a symbol? Or is there a special meaning!

Qin Zhao thinks that he is erudite and has a lot of knowledge, coupled with these years of adventure, he has grown a lot, and he has also seen the characters of many countries, including some strange ancient characters, however, at this moment, these things are carved on the chessboard.

But it is extremely peculiar, not so much like words, but like some patterns, as for what it does, no one knows.

"Hu Yaya, do you know?"

"What is this thing? You're the master here. ”

"You should be very clear about this mysterious totem. ”

Quite excited, his eyes rolled, and an idea suddenly popped up in his heart, I don't know, but there is another woman who should know very well, she is the empress of the fox demon clan, she has lived here for thousands of years, and the chessboard under her palace must still have a little clue.

Asked loudly, but the results were disappointing.

Hu Yaya shook her head slightly, observed it carefully, and then replied: "I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to deceive you, I haven't seen these things, and I don't know that there is such a structure under the palace."

If you think about it carefully, if it is a fox demon clan, it is impossible for Hu Yaya not to recognize these patterns and words.

However, Qin Zhao was not discouraged, he always felt that there must be something hidden in this, or some ulterior motives.

The chessboard is placed in a unique position, and it is very particular, and ordinary people can't see it, but they know very well that there are two chess pieces in the center, which means feng shui.

If it is placed in this way, it can bring good luck to the surrounding area, and as for the position of the other chess pieces, they are all connected, similar to the Seven Star Beads, that is, the owner of the chessboard seems to be deliberately hiding something when making it.

Is there a treasure?

"Dragons?"

"Dragons, and totems?"

Out of curiosity, he took a step forward, and Qin Zhao blew off the dust on the second chess piece, and what appeared was not words, but a pattern similar to a dragon, sharp claws, and a huge body.

And the fluttering wings, which look vivid.

Exceptionally realistic.

It doesn't look like it's carved at all, it's like a living thing, and this carving has a large deep groove.

Let Qin Zhao care a lot.

"Is it a dragon?"

The patterns are very close, and I have to be suspicious, but I don't dare to jump to conclusions until I get definite evidence.

But there is an air of mystery.

Whether it is the decoration or this chessboard, the feeling it gives people makes Qin Zhao care a lot, and it makes him deeply impressed here.

"What the hell is this place, let's get out of here, it's pretty creepy. ”

As an empress, she is extremely noble, but this woman has a shortcoming, Hu Yaya is not only afraid of the dark, but also cannot be immune to things like ghosts, especially this habit is similar to the hall of the cemetery.

It made her very uncomfortable, trembling all over, and her whole body was tense.

In the face of Hu Yaya's persuasion, Qin Zhao didn't care, but walked around the chessboard, observing everything around him, and taking it all into view.

The dark river just now was dark and damp, but this side of the chessboard was extremely dry, as if it was often exposed to the sun, Qin Zhao was particularly surprised by this, but when he carefully looked at the surrounding environment.

Finally found the answer, this huge chessboard said that the location is a little special, look up at the top of the mountain, you will find a huge crystal-like thing, in fact, it is a special stone, polished to refract the sun.

It emits heat, which is why this place is able to stay dry all the time.

Qin Zhao is not very knowledgeable, but he has read some books about the ancient tombs and mastered some of the most primitive skills, and the way this chessboard is arranged is extremely similar.

"Compared to the person who built the chessboard, he must be a person with status!"

"Either you are a worldly master or a nobleman. ”

Otherwise, as an ordinary person, there is no way to use so much money and financial resources. These features are relatively simple and easy to see. The most puzzling thing is that there seems to be some mystery hidden in this chessboard.

It always felt like something wasn't quite right.

The chessboard is calm, walking on it without any sensation and shaking, as if it was just built for Feng Shui.

This kind of calmness will make people unable to maintain a normal state of mind to deal with it, there are too many mysteries on this chessboard, there are many unexplainable places, even Qin Zhao doesn't know what these things do.

Under the foot of the fox mountain, the words and patterns carved are the totems of the dragon, which means that they have nothing to do with the fox demon clan, so the only thing that can be associated with it is Doragon of the Death Mountain Range.

That is, a dragon that always has a pair of wings.

This powerful creature, which comes and goes without a trace, is particularly sensitive to humans, and will eat them once they find it, and they seem to hate humans in particular.

A powerful and ancient race, unconnected to the outside world, they have guarded the treasures of the Death Mountains for generations, especially gold.

The dragon is a symbol of great power, and in different worlds, the meaning is completely different, such as ancient Europe, these monsters are the embodiment of horror and evil, and their existence is bound to bring disasters and plagues.

Treasure?

Dragon!

And on the huge chessboard, there are other things that are connected together, and all these pieces are connected together, and it seems that gradually we see the light and the truth of the matter.

"Damn, when I think about things, my head hurts, especially these two things, the correlation is too small, and a very critical thing is needed. ”

will get the answer.

Could it be that there is any special meaning between the former fox demon clan and the dragon?

The history of this world is not clear to itself, and Qin Zhao's ability to come here was completely accidental, blown by an endless sandstorm.

He still hasn't found a way back.

"Suffer death!"

"You bastard. ”

"I'm going to kill you with my own hands. ”

Qin Zhao was thinking, and at this moment, suddenly a figure flashed, coming towards him, and burst out with the loudest roar, full of momentum and wanted to take off Qin Zhao's head in a sneak attack, but unfortunately it was a step too slow.

There was a snort, and the sword was shining.

Smack!

It was too late to say that it was too fast, Qin Zhao made a dodge move, easily avoided it, and at the same time used his right to resist the attack of this figure, only to hear a clang, and the gorgeous blade fell to the ground.

It was directly broken off and became two pieces. Qin Zhao felt that someone was staring at him with a strange gaze just now, and he had already noticed the existence of this figure, but this person's strength was not very strong, his breathing was very short, and he even gave people a feeling of injury.
