The cold iron chain is firmly locked on the cliffs on both sides, connecting the suspension bridge over the magma pool.

The passage is split in half at both ends of the cliff.

It wasn't until I crossed the suspension bridge safely and came to the other half of the passage that I realized that this part of the road was really a little shorter.

Compared to the previous length of the underground passage, which had to walk for an hour or two at every turn, this section of the road only took a quarter of an hour to come to an end.

To be exact, it's not called the end.

It was a big pothole that blocked our way.

The area of the big pit in front of you is not small, it is as big as a whole stone chamber before, and the bottom of the pit is circular, and it is roughly estimated that the depth is at least more than ten meters.

I just leaned over and looked in, and I was surprised that I didn't know what to say.

After going through many difficulties and obstacles along the way, I had no idea that this so-called secret treasure treasure that appeared in front of me would be so crumbling!

Yes, pit daddy, I couldn't find a better adjective.

Because the pit was so deep, it was important that there was nothing to be seen in it, only a layer of soft black soil covering it.

Isn't there supposed to be a stone chamber? How many stone chambers did you pass along the way?

The mythical beast is running wildly in the heart, no matter how bad it is, it should be a treasure chest or something, isn't it all described like that in the story of treasure hunting?

The more difficult and difficult the road ahead, the higher the accumulated expectations, after the unexpected collapse of the cave, the cliff of the magma pool of nine deaths to find the way, breaking the rammed earth layer and stepping into the quicksand mechanism.

Is all this foreshadowing just for such a hole in front of you that has nothing?

This huge psychological gap made me not know what to react to for a while, and I felt like I was laughing.

Fooled? Is the story of the Hongdong Cliff Capture Rock just a joke made up by the Nine Princesses?

Or was even the ninth princess deceived, in fact, it was just a joke made by the predecessors?

Reminiscent of Xuanyuan Jingya. As the commander of the war between the Flame Country and the Lake Country, regardless of the thousands of miles of battlefield, he actually came here for the sake of the secret.

As a result, he unexpectedly died in the stone chamber, and even died unconscious.

If only she were alive at the moment. Standing in front of this pit, will you vomit blood and die of three liters of breath?

This joke is too big!

I cast my suspicious gaze on the Ninth Princess, she actually looked calm, and then looked at Yun Chu, no, his expression was actually a little solemn.

Look at the blue sky around you and Chen Yuqing. The expressions of these two people were also very focused.

All four of them locked their eyes on the soft black soil at the bottom of the pit, and they didn't blink.

I had to look at the bottom of the pit again, and what tricks did they see?

Yes!! The discovery made my scalp tingle!

Oh my God, there's a black layer of soil at the bottom of that pit, it's an untold number of insects!

Because there were too many of them, they were firmly gathered together, and the bottom of the huge pit was filled.

Because the four of them surpassed me in skill and natural eyesight, they must have already discovered that something was wrong.

I held my breath and looked at the mountain-like black worms at the bottom of the pit, and I felt the cold was terrifying. Are those bugs dead or alive?

If it is said to be alive, how can it be motionless, so that I can mistake it for a black layer of soil.

"Ninth Princess," Yun Chu said lightly, "Aren't these poisonous insects in front of you your predecessors who changed the mechanism settings and put them in?" “

Between words. Yun Chu looked at her with subtle eyes and said, "I didn't expect that your mother concubine was still involved with Nanling Miaojiang." “

I resisted the suspicion in my heart and stared at the Nine Princesses.

It wasn't until this moment that a sense of fear rose in my heart.

I thought about the itinerary along the way, didn't I fall for her tricks?

I can't complain that I'm so scared, Nanling Miaojiang is really a perverted place.

As early as when the General's Mansion Yunchu taught me my homework, I had already mentioned this lost ethnic group.

I still remember that day in the General's Mansion, Yun Chu's fingers spread out a huge scroll on the bookcase, and Yun Chu's eyes swept the entire long scroll, pointing out the distribution of the Seven Kingdoms to me one by one.

It was in that class that he talked about the many small countries in the south of the Lake Country, and told me that because of years of strife, the royal family of the Lake Country had sent troops to exterminate the mountain bandits in the south and the small countries that refused to surrender.

It's the corner of the map that I should have ignored. Yun Chu marked a small place with red paint.

This place is surrounded by high mountains, and Yun Chu said that it is basically a forbidden land.

Out of instinctive curiosity, I naturally paid special attention to this place where he looked differently.

At that time, Yun Chu mentioned some anecdotes about Nanling Miaojiang that I heard today.

In today's world, the most poisonous use is second to none in Miaojiang.

Years. The Miao Jiang people were scattered all over the rivers and lakes, and some of them even infiltrated into the imperial court of the Seven Kingdoms.

Only Nanling, their birthplace, has always had a group of Miao Jiang people stationed there for hundreds of years, but two hundred years ago, this entire team of Miao Jiang people disappeared almost overnight.

All that remains is the legend of their use of poison and witchcraft.

Yun Chu told me that the so-called witch Gu was actually used to control the host through guò poisonous insects.

At first glance, I was shocked to hear that the Ninth Princess was actually involved with this gang of old poisons, and I was afraid to reminisce about all the things along the way, and I was not happy, I should have made something unclean on my body.

Thinking that if I burped and had to crawl out of my body, I couldn't help but feel sick and sick to my scalp.

Hearing this, the Ninth Princess looked at Yun Chu in some surprise and said, "Could it be that you are also involved with Miao Jiang?" “

She shook her head in confusion and muttered, "Impossible." “

"Naturally not," Yun Chu denied, "I'm just an idler who likes to learn about strange things in various places, so you don't have to worry about that." “

"What's more, I'm just asking you to find a way to break the current situation." Yun Chu responded lightly, retracted his gaze and stopped looking at her.

The Ninth Princess's eyes were still glued to Yun Chu's body, and in front of her was the final destination of this trip, but she was distracted again.

It's not the first time along the way. The young man next to him obviously has a plain face like a passerby, but the temperament around him has a dazzling and compelling that can't be hidden, or in a casual smile. Or just a slight movement of turning around and moving your fingers.

It was like the brilliance of a bright moon hidden in the clouds.

I always feel that this person can't see clearly as if he is hiding in the haze, as if he has an extra ......

Mask?!

For no reason, a thunderbolt slashed in the heart of the ninth princess, and she ignored the key something.

Although she had doubts more than once in the process of moving forward, this time it was more intense than any before.

Her heart was pounding. Suddenly, he asked sharply, "Who are you?" “

This question startled me lying on the edge of the pit and looking at the pile of disgusting bugs.

Looking back at the expression on the face of the Ninth Princess, I muttered, "What kind of wind are you smoking!" “

Seeing Yun Chu's slightest reaction, his expression was even more calm and unaware.

After a while, the cave was quiet.

The Ninth Princess calmed down, eased her tone, and put aside the suspicion in her heart and said, "Since you know about the affairs of Nanling Miaojiang, you naturally know what method I will use to break the situation in front of me." “

As soon as the words fell, several of us stared at the Ninth Princess.

I saw her take a step forward and stand closer to the pit.

The Ninth Princess looked up at Yun Chu and said, "The treasure hiding place is in this pit, but back then, the people of my mother's concubine clan were concerned about the safety of the things inside, and they added a mechanism when they came in more than thirty years ago. “

This is tantamount to suing us. Some of the mechanisms along the way were originally not built at the beginning of the construction.

Between the lightning and flint, I remembered that in the stone room where Xuanyuan Jingya had just turned out, the huge stone pillar covered with patterns.

When I looked at the embossed pattern on it, I noticed that the ninth princess had inserted the awl she had brought with her into the eye of an insect with a worm-shaped pattern.

It was only at this moment that it dawned on me.

All that was left of the original builder was the internal control of the entire wall of the stone chamber on the stone pillar.

Then the Miao Jiang people who have the talent of making poison and are good at poisonous insects and witches. That is, among the mother concubines of the Nine Princesses, if someone enters this underground organ, that person must have found out the secret of the stone room.

I don't know if the man ended up taking the vault from the pit here, but the only thing that is certain is that he's added a new barrier to the old mechanism.

This obstacle is the origin of the insect-shaped pattern, or I can understand it as a warning to future generations who will be able to get here.

Remind them that there is still a level of poisonous insects waiting here.

According to the previous words of the Ninth Princess, it seems that this mechanism can only be broken by her who understands the secrets of Miao Jiang's use of poison.

That's why she was so confident in the stone room before and made fun of us.

After thinking of these causes and consequences, I couldn't help but ask next: "Ninth Princess, are you planning to break it now?" What are you going to do with those bugs? “

"It's not hard for me to do it." The eyes of the ninth princess darkened, and she looked up at us and the others, her eyes wandered away, and fell on Lan Tianfang's body.

"What you promised me before, do you still count?" The ninth princess's expression was a little lost and uncertain. The tone sounded a little hesitant.

"Naturally, it's a number," my senior brother Lan Tianfang nodded, "I will do what I promised you." ”

Tianfang paused and said: "Of course, first of all, the first one, if I can get out of here safely, I will definitely take you with my whole body." ”

The ninth princess still looked at him and didn't speak, and Lan Tianfang added, "Do you need me to swear?" ”

"No need," the Ninth Princess's voice darkened a little, "I believe you." ”

She raised her head, her gaze as calm as a black curtain: "These poisonous insects seem terrifying, and the way to crack them is actually not difficult, but I have one condition, after breaking the mechanism, I need to be the first to enter the stone room, as long as you agree to this, I will do it immediately." ”

I glanced at Lan Tianfang, she wants to go in first? Could there be some other insider story to such a request?

We both turned our eyes to Yun Chu, including Chen Yuqing, who was quietly listening to the Ninth Princess.

After all, Yun Chu had unknowingly become the core of this team.

Yun Chu looked at the Ninth Princess, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, his pupils were so deep that he couldn't see the bottom, and he said slowly: "Are you sure you can talk to me about the conditions?" “
