Chapter 45: The Key to the Underground Palace (2/3 Collection)

In this dungeon world, the time delayed was a bit too much, and the progress was a little slow, and Chen Jingle couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Although the time of the dungeon world does not consume the life of the real world, it is not a solution to grind all the time.

Fortunately, after so many days, it is not completely without gains, otherwise, Chen Jingle would really be crazy.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, there was only the last bit of distance left from the place where the dungeon was found.

The top priority is to quickly find a place to spend the night, have a good rest, and then wait for the fifth watch to be bright every day, and take advantage of the enemy's weakest mental state to try to see if he can sneak into the area of Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses stationed in the underground palace and reconnoitre.

Fortunately, he was lucky enough to find a cave that was not deep, but enough to accommodate the two of them, and there were many vines at the entrance of the cave to block their tracks.

Mr. made a small fire to drive away some mosquitoes, and then extinguished the open flame, leaving a little smoke to linger slowly.

At this time, the white feather cloak finally came in handy.

If it weren't for the low temperature in the mountains, Zhu Qingyao was trembling with his arms in his arms, and Chen Jingle almost forgot that he still had this thing in his package.

Wrapped in a cloak, Zhu Qingyao finally warmed up, leaned next to Chen Jingle and began to doze off.

She originally wanted to give half of the cloak to Chen Jingle, but with Chen Jingle's physical fitness, this chill was not to be feared, and she wrapped her in the cloak with her backhand.

It was hard for her to accompany herself for a day, after all, she was not like herself, and she did not have any martial arts.

"If you're sleepy, go to sleep. Chen Jingle said in a low voice with a smile.

Zhu Qingyao's face was hesitant, and he hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "Brother Qin, do you have to enter that underground palace?"

"yes. ”

Chen Jingle did not hide it: "In the underground palace, there is something that I must get my hands on." So no matter what, you have to go inside. Don't worry, I'll find a place to settle you before you go in, otherwise I won't worry. Actually, the Nine Tribulations Master is not bad, if you can worship under her, I can rest assured, but if you don't want to, forget it. ”

Zhu Qingyao didn't speak.

After being silent for a long time, Chen Jingle thought she was asleep, and then she said faintly: "Actually, in fact, Qingyao lied to you......"

"Huh?"

Chen Jingle turned his face slightly, I don't know why.

Zhu Qingyao said timidly: "Qing Yao knows the existence of the underground palace, not only does she know, but Qing Yao also knows how to open the last layer of the underground palace. ”

She hurriedly took out a key wearing a red thread and hanging around her neck from under the neckline of her clothes: "This is the key to the deepest layer of the underground palace." ”

After speaking, I didn't dare to look at Chen Jingle.

"Huh?!" Chen Jingle blinked.

This was a bit unexpected.

Although I had already guessed in my heart that Zhu Qingyao's true identity would be related to the Southern Ming Imperial Court, after all, it was impossible for the system to throw an unrelated NPC to its side.

From the moment he killed the first Qing soldier with the tail of money and saved Zhu Qingyao, the system prompted him to join the Nanming camp, so he kept taking Zhu Qingyao with him.

But unexpectedly, she was still the holder of the key to the dungeon.

After digesting the news, Chen Jingle stretched out his big hand and rubbed her head: "Silly girl, it's good that you know this kind of thing yourself, there's no need to tell others, the more people who know, the more dangerous you are." Besides, aren't you afraid that I will harm you?"

"I believe in Brother Qin!" Zhu Qingyao suddenly raised her eyes and widened her eyes.

Chen Jingle smiled freely.

Zhu Qingyao continued: "In fact, opening the underground palace not only requires a key, but also the bloodline power of the Ming royal family, and I don't know the specifics, but my father said this to me, he said it in a hurry, and I don't understand many places." ”

Chen Jingle: "......"

Bloodline power?

How does it feel like you're moving towards fantasy? Isn't this a martial arts copy?

"So, Brother Qin, if you want to enter the underground palace, you must bring Qing Yao with you, Qing Yao will not hold you back!" Zhu Qing Yao looked at Chen Jingle fixedly.

Chen Jingle sighed helplessly: "Don't worry, let's talk about it then." ”

He remembered another question: "So, do you know the Nine Tribulation Masters too well?"

Zhu Qingyao was a little embarrassed: "I have seen Mrs. Shi from afar before, and I don't know if she has an impression of me." ”

Chen Jingle pursed his lips, looking at her like that, how could he not know, otherwise he would not have proposed to accept Zhu Qingyao as an apprentice.

However, he didn't say anything, and instead asked another question: "Then will I call you Zhu Qingyao or Zhu Qingyao in the future?"

Zhu Qingyao looked at him with straight eyes, and suddenly smiled: "Brother Qin still calls me like before." ”

The smile literally lit up the little cave.

Chen Jingle patted her little shoulder and didn't speak, but she felt very comfortable in her heart, and it felt so good to be trusted!

Telling the big secret that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time, Zhu Qingyao finally breathed a sigh of relief, she couldn't hold back her sleepiness anymore, and gradually fell asleep by relying on Chen Jingle.

Chen Jingle began to operate the Eight or Nine Xuangong and began to cultivate.

"Huh, anyone?"

I don't know how long it took, Chen Jingle suddenly woke up, keenly aware that someone was passing not far away, and there was more than one person!

The other party is obviously also in a hurry, but judging from the actions, the strength is not strong, at most the third- and fourth-rate realm.

Zhu Qingyao next to her muttered a few words, as if she was talking in a dream, Chen Jingle hurriedly covered her small mouth, so as not to be noticed by the other party.

He wanted to see what these people were trying to do.

I wish Qingyao to wake up as soon as possible,

Chen Jingle made a silent gesture and whispered, "Someone!"

Zhu Qingyao suddenly didn't dare to move.

Chen Jingle wondered in his heart: "Who is it?"

After those people walked a little farther away, Chen Jingle let go of his hand and whispered to Zhu Qingyao, "Let's go and have a look." ”

Zhu Qingyao nodded, nervous and excited.

Chen Jingle smiled, held her waist, cast a phantom streamer, jumped out of the cave, easily jumped to the top of the tree, stepped on one tree after another, and hung far behind those figures.

With his current strength, it is not difficult to do this.

It's just that Zhu Qingyao won't hold his breath, Chen Jingle is worried that he will be discovered if he follows too closely, so he deliberately stays away, but fortunately, the moonlight is good tonight, so he won't lose it.

After following for a distance, Chen Jingle had a hunch that he was getting closer and closer to the range of the underground palace, and even saw a pair of Qing soldiers patrolling from below.

Those guys were cautious, but they weren't found.

A few of them rushed to a half-human rock, finally stopped and began to move.

Moved away from a large rock, quickly untied the tools on his body, and began to dig a hole.

"It's ...... Planning to dig a tunnel?" Chen Jingle was surprised in his heart.

He can see that these guys should be professional tomb robbers, and they are so skillful, they must have been attracted by the treasures of the Daming Underground Palace, and they wanted to find another way to dig out a way.

Chen Jingle became interested, jumped on the branch of a big tree, leaned into Zhu Qingyao's ear and whispered: "Those guys are estimated to not be able to come out for a while, let's wait here first." ”

Zhu Qingyao naturally had no opinion.

The tree was big enough to be easily spotted hiding in the middle of the branches.

After waiting for almost an hour, there was no movement in the tunnel, and a figure struggled to crawl out of it.

However, what surprised Chen Jingle was that after this guy crawled out panting like a cow, he frantically filled the tunnel with soil.

Is this going to bury the rhythm of a few other companions?

Infighting!

Chen Jingle immediately thought of this word.
