"When we tried to destroy the stone gate just now, we ended up triggering the mechanism inside and were shot by a crossbow arrow, but fortunately everyone dodged in time, otherwise we would all have suffered. ”

Guan Qingfei said in a deep voice: "Then we have to be careful." ”

When everyone was talking, Jiang Lai was still standing in front of the stone gate with his hands behind his back, looking at it seriously. Immediately after, he picked up the crossbow arrow that had wounded the person he had shot before, and put it in front of his eyes to look at it.

After a while, seeing him standing there motionless, Li Hongbei couldn't help but feel curious, walked up to his side, and asked, "What, did you find anything?"

Jiang Lai nodded, called Qiu Yannan and Guan Qingfei aside, and said, "I found a very interesting thing, if the clue that the Wu family has is correct, this place is at least thousands of years old. When the ancients built this place, due to the remoteness of the place and the difficulty of mountain roads, they would definitely choose to use local materials. Like this stone wall, if it were me, I would mine the stone directly from here and make it. However, I just looked at it, and the material of the stone wall is not the same as the surrounding stone. ”

"What's so strange about that. Guan Qingfei retorted: "Maybe they chose a stronger stone, and in addition, the people who built this place must also be from the Daomen." With their skills, it is not easy to carry some bulky objects. ”

"Having said that, however, the builder should know that the person who can find this place must also be a member of the Daomen, even if it is a solid stone, do you think it can stop us?" So, I think they are doing this too much, and the other ......" Jiang Lai changed his words and picked up the crossbow arrow in his hand, "You take a closer look, this crossbow arrow is very finely made, whether it is the blade or the shaft, it is impeccable, even the most skilled craftsman cannot achieve this level." ”

After listening to his words, Li Hongbei seemed to realize something, and said, "What do you mean ......?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this stone wall and the mechanism were all added later, and the people who can do this, I don't need to say, I think you can all guess. ”

"You mean the Wu family?" Qiu Yannan's face sank, "Why did they do this?"

"They naturally have their purpose in doing this, in fact, if you think about it, you know that the Wu family has mastered that clue for so many years, and they must have explored this place to the end. Otherwise, how could they be so generous in revealing this secret to the public. ”

"Since this is the case, then the secret buried here may have been obtained by the Wu family a long time ago, so wouldn't it be a blind rush for us to come here, rather than wasting time here, it is better to leave as soon as possible, so as to save the trap of the Wu family. ”

"Don't worry. After a pause, Jiang Lai turned his gaze to the crowd around him, and couldn't help but let out a 'huh' sound in his mouth, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face.

"Brother Jiang, what's wrong?"

Jiang Lai didn't speak, but turned around and walked back the way he came. The reason why he chose this passage was because he had just seen a familiar figure, which was the only remaining descendant of the Huang family, Huang Guyi.

However, he followed all the way behind, it stands to reason that Huang Guyi should be right at this point, but there was no trace of him in the crowd at all, which made him puzzled, could it be that the other party had the art of earth escape?

He shook his head to himself, rejecting the idea. Huang Guyi once said that the clue that the Wu family had came from the Huang family, so Huang Guyi must know very well what that clue is, maybe he knows some secrets that others don't know.

After a while, Guan Qingfei and the three of them all chased after him, looked at Jiang Lai, who was silent and lowered his head, and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Jiang, what's wrong, you have something to say." ”

Jiang Lai said slowly: "Several, you guys check this passage carefully, we are likely to miss something on the way here." ”

Hearing this, although Qiu Yannan and the others were a little puzzled, they still chose to believe Jiang Lai and immediately searched around the passage. A few minutes later, I only heard Guan Qingfei's excited voice coming from not far away: "Come on, there is really a problem here." ”

As everyone converged, Guan Qingfei pointed to the mountain wall in front of him and said, "You can just knock on it, it seems to be hollow inside." ”

Jiang Lai verified, and sure enough, there was no entity behind this mountain wall, not only that, but if he put his ear on the mountain wall, he could faintly hear the sound of the wind coming from behind.

He reached out and pressed against the mountain wall, and with a strong push, a gap was immediately revealed. Seeing this, he no longer hesitated, and the strength of his whole body exploded, pushing the entire mountain wall away in an instant. Looking at the secret passage revealed behind him, Jiang Lai didn't have time to rejoice, and hurriedly urged: "Come in quickly, don't let people find out." ”

Hearing his reminder, Li Hongbei and the others immediately woke up and walked in quickly. When the mountain wall closed again, Jiang Lai slowly exhaled, this secret passage was very secret, if it weren't for Huang Guyi, he wouldn't have been able to find this place at all.

"Brother Jiang, it's really yours, how do you know that there is a secret path here?" Guan Qingfei was very curious.

Jiang Lai explained with a smile: "When I came over just now, I saw a few people in front of me, but they disappeared out of thin air, so I wondered if there was an unknown secret passage hidden here. ”

Li Hongbei frowned slightly, "Listen to what you mean, someone has already taken the lead?"

Jiang Lai nodded, "Don't worry, this place is too mysterious, let's be careful, there is no need to speed up in a hurry, in case you encounter a trap or mechanism, it will be worth the loss." ”

As he spoke, he looked at his surroundings. This dark passage is very narrow, only one person can pass through it in turn, and as the four of them slowly move forward, the wind in the passage becomes stronger and stronger, and the exit should be in front.

As expected, after walking for a few tens of meters, everyone's eyes suddenly opened up, and it felt like they had come to another space. At this moment, in front of them was a huge cave, unimaginably large, with no end in sight.

Not only that, but the whole cave is lush and full of vegetation, like a primeval jungle, and the breeze whistling from the top, bringing a wave of swaying leaves.

"Look over there. ”

Under Qiu Yannan's reminder, everyone raised their eyes and saw that there were several tents not far away, and some metal boxes were piled up, and in addition, there were several corpses lying next to the tents.

When he got closer, Li Hongbei leaned over to check it, and said in a deep voice: "A sword kills, not long after he died, no more than ten minutes." ”

"It should have been done by the group of people who were ahead of us just now, at least these few people should be from the Wu family. ”
