If it weren't for the sudden collapse of the hole above, Yun Chu and Chen Yuqing and I accidentally fell, we really wouldn't have been able to find this passage carved into the cliff.

originally thought that there was no way back, but I didn't expect that it would be another village.

The rammed earth layer is thick and the area is also large.

We walked to the end of the passage and found a relatively weak layer of soil in the northeast corner of the cave roof.

After careful identification, Yun Chu came up with this location as the passage to the upper level of the mechanism.

Chen Yuqing was straightened out by Yun Chu, and at this time, he was eager to see how much his own skills had recovered.

The passage space was limited, and Yun Chu and I couldn't get along, so he took a few steps back to make room for him to exert his strength.

The position to be opened is directly above the northeast corner, and if Chen Yuqing exerts force, the target point is also higher than the top of his head.

I saw that he was about to make a move, and the words were circling around his lips and finally couldn't help but stop him, "Wait! “

"Are you sure you don't need to do anything?"

Chen Yuqing, who was startled by my shout, looked at me suspiciously.

"Xuanyuan Jingya's men and horses made such a big movement under the dark river, and the result was that they asked for hardship and broke through the rock formations and washed the Dragon King Temple, burying a lot of minions."

I looked calm and said quietly: "How can you be sure that the mechanism above will not be lowered as soon as it is opened, in case a trap is facing you, how do you escape." ”

"Water doesn't," I said in an affirmative tone as I looked up at the top of the cave, "the rammed earth layer made with glutinous rice juice at the beginning, if it was also a dark river, it would not have felt so dry to the touch." ”

I blew away the powder scraped in my hand, "But since you have made a series of underground mechanisms, how can the original designer let you easily reach the mechanism layer, and the best mechanism to start is not the moment you get through?" ”

"Catch you off guard." I took a step closer and looked at Chen Yuqing. "I have an idea."

"Tell me what you're going to do."

I leaned down, broke a few small stones half-embedded in the soil from the ground of the passage, blew the dust on them and handed them to Chen Yuqing.

"You adjust your position," I looked at him and blinked, "you don't want to attack head-on, choose a position on an inclined plane, and use the rocks to smash the small hole first, it's much safer than you just blasting the top of the northeast corner off." ”

"That makes sense," Chen Yuqing took the stone and nodded. "Just do what you say."

I took a few steps back and dodged to Yun Chu's side, where he reached out and held my right hand in his palm.

I glanced at him. Obviously he didn't have any ideas, but surprisingly he misunderstood.

Yun Chu mistakenly thought that I was asking for his opinion, and cast an appreciative look and smiled: "Xiao Ling'er, you have benefited these days, and at this time, you are still very calm and take into account what Yuqing can't imagine." “

I looked at Yun Chu with some sarcasm. The guessing master would misunderstand that my expression was to sell cuteness to him and ask for praise?

I decided to make a mistake and couldn't help but smile and turn the topic to say: "Can you tell me now, what kind of material is used in the robe, it is so light and thin, but it is so tough that it is not lost to Feiyun Suo, and it can lift Chen Yuqing." “

"When I go back, I'll make a garment out of this material too." I bit my lip with a twinkle in my eyes.

Yun Chu smiled: "What should I do?" Speaking of which, it's just a little bit of caution for girls. “

He straightened his body slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was even worse: "This clothing is rare." You must follow me back to the snow country in the future. “

"You can also make one of your robes."

That's not how couples come to be, I snickered.

During the conversation, I quickly pressed the pulse of Yun Chu's left wrist with my backhand.

Sensing that his pulse was relatively peaceful now, I breathed a sigh of relief and leaned close to his shoulder and said, "I'll follow Chen Yuqing for a while, what do I really want." Don't stand in front of me, if anything happens to me. You can also be my back. ”

"If something happens to you," I smiled at him helplessly, "I can't handle the ten." ”

With the sound of stones hitting the rammed earth layer, Chen Yuqing's hands did not stop.

Soon, cracks began to appear in the rammed earth layer, and after a hard blow, a hole finally broke.

"Ah, why is there so much sand." Chen Yuqing dodged the fine sand that slipped from the entrance of the cave, and kept complaining, "The dust on my body hasn't been cleaned yet, so it's good now." “

"It's dirt and sand, which means you're very down-to-earth."

"Hey, you're still talking so badly."

"Quicksand up there?" Yun Chu took a step forward and looked at the yellow sand that fell from the cave, converging into a small stream and staying, looking at it from a distance like a small waterfall of yellow sand, with this amount of sand, it was not enough to flood the passage we were in.

It's just a thick pile where we're standing, and this time it looks like a small grave bag.

The sand flow became smaller and smaller, and soon it had a tendency to stop, and I watched as the cascade became a small line, and finally there were scattered small particles of yellow sand falling down.

"Almost," Yun Chu nodded, he glanced at Chen Yuqing and said, "You go on, and make a bigger hole." “

Hearing this, Chen Yuqing really did it again, this time he didn't use the power of the stone strike, and directly pushed it with his palm.

"Plop" fell a large layer of rammed earth, well, another pile of sand down!

"Someone must have been up there." Yun Chu's eyes flickered, and he suddenly said loudly.

"Where's the man?" I looked at the pile of sand under my feet and was half a beat slower.

I looked up at Yun Chu, "If someone above hears our movement here, whether it is friend or foe, they must not rush over, how can there be no movement." ”

"The quicksand layer can't have been on the rammed earth layer in the first place, at least the treasure traps I know of don't have this layout."

Yun Chu replied to me in a low voice, his long eyelashes flashing, and said, "The sand layer will only fall after destroying the mechanism. ”

"What do you mean by that," I looked at him with some confusion, and then turned my gaze to Chen Yuqing.

"The young master is saying that someone has come from above, and the mechanism has been activated, so the quicksand has fallen on the rammed earth layer and accumulated."

"As you say," I suddenly understood. "Isn't there someone up there who is already hanging up?"

"Or break the trap and go to the next floor."

Yun Chu nodded, and the corner of his mouth hooked: "You can go up with confidence." ”

Chen Yuqing was the first to go up, and a few minutes later, he poked his head out of the cave and pointed at us: "It's okay, come up too." “

I was first, Yun Chu was behind, and I jumped out of the hole in the rammed earth layer one after another.

Boy!

What appeared in front of me was an incomparably huge stone room, so large that it could almost catch up with the crystal hall where Shan Zhongwen died.

Thick layers of yellow sand filled the floor of the entire stone chamber, and more than a dozen corpses were scattered on top of it.

I only glanced at it. Almost fell into Yun Chu's arms.

These people were all dressed in black, and their deaths were very tragic, and their bodies were full of arrows. Some of them were pierced through their heads, and some of them had most of their eyes drooping on their faces.

The quicksand submerged most of the bodies, some with only one head exposed, while others had half of their bodies exposed.

Those bloody bodies are nightmares when they look at them more.

Chen Yuqing didn't dodge or dodge. He lowered his body, scraped through the sand with his hands, pulled over a corpse lying on its back, and stepped forward to examine.

"It's only been two or three hours since I died." Chen Yuqing said with a solemn face.

Yun Chu also stepped forward to see, I grabbed his arm and shook my head in fear, and he gently tapped my head soothingly.

Chen Yuqing suddenly lifted the clothes of a corpse.

"What are you doing?" I covered my face and said.

"This is Xuanyuan Jingya's centaur." Chen Yuqing glanced at me with a mischievous expression and covered up her clothes again.

"How do you know," I shook my head. Put down the palm, "The people and horses of the Flame Country must have marks on them, or are they ......"

"Not bad." Chen Yuqing interrupted me, turned to us, and replied truthfully, "When men in the Flame Country join the army, they will tattoo a tattoo mark on their backs. No one is exempt, this is their military rule. If you join the army, you must get a tattoo. ”

"In the entire army of the Flame Country, except for Xuanyuan Jingya, about everyone has this mark."

"Except for the cultivation of fine work." Yun Chu added, "Otherwise, the troops that infiltrate other countries will be exposed." ”

"Yes, yes." Chen Yuqing echoed, stepped forward and pulled out a stray arrow embedded in the corpse's body, which shone with a faint green luster, his movements stopped, and said a little solemnly, "It's still poisonous." “

Hearing the word "poison", Yun Chu's eyes lit up and he was obviously interested, and he patted my hand that grabbed his shirt.

I had no choice but to let go, and watched him walk over and roll up his sleeves, and also reached out to pull out the stray arrow, and sniffed it close to the bloody dark red, with a look of appreciation on his face.

"It's been a long time since I've seen a poison made with this recipe," Yun Chu slowly took out his handkerchief and wiped his hands that didn't seem to be stained, and smiled at us, "I see blood sealing my throat." “

I had a chill on my body, goosebumps were up, and the young master's hobby was strange, so what was there to be happy about.

Looking at him incomprehensibly, I could only pull his sleeve and remain silent.

"Xuanyuan Jingya's men and horses seem to be divided into two groups." Chen Yuqing pursed her lips and said calmly.

"One is the passage that has been buried in the underground river and has been flooded." His face remained unchanged.

I sighed, "The other way I took the other way, and I got here." “

"The corpses on the ground, the highest status, there is no leader," I hesitated to glance at the pile of dead people, "I don't know who the leader is." “

I glanced at Chen Yuqing inquiringly, and he replied to me, "I should have entered the next layer of organs." “

"Well, you might as well look in the stone room." Yun Chu rubbed my head with a faint smile and looked around the top and four walls of the stone chamber, where the destroyed mechanisms were scattered on the sand.

The three of us scattered in the huge stone room looking for the mechanism to enter the next floor, but it was very strange, because no matter how we looked for it, whether it was pushing the wall or re-checking the mechanism that released the stray arrow, we couldn't find any flaws at all.

Time passed, we spent a long time in the same place, and still no progress was made.

"It's impossible for these people to die here, even if it's over." I threw away one of the stray arrows I had found in the remnants of the trap at the south wall, and couldn't help but stomp my foot.

I said impatiently, "It's strange, I can't find it, what's the matter?" ”

Yun Chu, who was inspecting the walls of the stone room, turned his head and looked at me with interest.

He suddenly showed a smile like a warm spring breeze, and raised his voice:

"Xiao Ling'er, you are really crooked."
