Chapter 5: The Vault
In the early hours of the morning, the grove outside Yangfeng Village.
Chongyun Sword Elder, Jiang San, Zhao Lao Er, Yuehuan Swordsman, and Lao Shen came to the meadow in the forest with Jian Wendao, and the originally empty meadow unexpectedly added a huge deep pit silently.
"I didn't expect the entrance to the Vault to be here!" Old Shen exclaimed.
"Is there really an Ancient Treasure?" the sword was also startled.
Just a few dozen meters behind them, the five tigers of Shangchuan secretly followed behind them, relying on the shadows of the woods.
"Big brother, didn't we all give up, why do we still follow them?" asked Wuhu puzzled. Previously, Dahu announced his withdrawal from this treasure hunt in person because he was afraid of the Gu family's power, but he didn't expect to take his brothers to play the tail line again when he turned around.
"There are many mechanisms in the Ancient Vault, who knows what will happen inside?" the big tiger looked ahead with a fierce look, "Even if the Gu family is in trouble, they will definitely go to those five people first!"
"Big brother, they're going down!" said the three tigers, pointing ahead.
Chongyun Jian's old party of six people had all jumped into the deep pit, and the five tigers of Shangchuan followed him to the deep pit and explored it, only to find that it was pitch black in the pit, and it was impossible to see the situation inside at all.
"What should we do? If they are ambushed below, won't we fall into the trap?" the big tiger looked at the second tiger beside him with some anxiety.
"I'll go down and test it first. If I can't get up within five minutes, you can quickly retreat!" Erhu said with a sigh.
"How could I leave my brother and run away by myself!" Dahu glared at Erhu angrily.
"Yes!
"Let's just go down together!
"Yes, let's go straight down!"
The other three tigers said at the same time.
"Okay! Five of us. To live together, to die...... Die together!"
"Live together, die together!!" the five tigers shouted in unison and jumped into the pit together.
Shortly after they left, a mysterious figure wrapped in a cloak fell from the sky to the edge of the pit.
There was a dull thud on the ground, and a pair of deep footprints had been pressed out of the place where the mysterious man stood, and a carved wooden demon mask appeared under the cloak to make his face invisible. He lingered in the pit for a moment before jumping into it.
......
At this time, the old Chongyun Sword and his party, who were walking in the forefront, had already come to the gate of an underground palace, and there were two bronze hollow carved lampposts standing outside the door. As soon as the six of them arrived at the entrance of the dungeon, a blue flame automatically ignited inside the lamppost.
"Jian Lao, why do you want to bring this kid down?" Zhao Lao Er looked at Jian Wen with some puzzlement. In its opinion, after Shangchuan Wuhu was scared away by the Gu family's name, Jian Wendao had no use value.
"Second brother, didn't you notice, those five idiots followed us all the way!" Jiang San replied with a grin, "However, I can't feel their breath now, and this kid doesn't need to take it anymore, right?"
"Isn't it good for multiple people to explore the way?" Chongyun Jian Lao smiled meaningfully, pointed to the gate of the underground palace and shouted, "Boy, you go and open the door." ”
Jian Wendao's face was bitter and he didn't move, the ancient secret treasures are not only treasures, but also traps that cost people's lives, and there may be something deadly hidden behind the gate of this underground palace!
"Come on!" Old Shen shouted angrily and retreated to the gate with one palm.
Jian Wendao stood in front of the gate and took a deep breath, and now he knew that he had no way to avoid it, so he could only fight!
In the dark tunnel not far behind the five people, the five tigers were hiding on the side and carefully observing the situation ahead, after coming down from the deep pit, they found that there was only a dark and long tunnel, and they followed into the tunnel and found that there was a mysterious force here that quietly suppressed their breath detection ability. The two of them couldn't sense each other after pulling a few meters apart, and they only occasionally noticed the anomaly after someone fell behind. However, this also made it more convenient for them to track Chongyun Jian Lao and the others.
"Look! Gu Gongzi is opening the door. The three tigers whispered.
"This Gu Gongzi is brave, if there is any mechanism behind the door, he is the first to be hit!" Sihu shook his head and said.
"That's not right!" Erhu frowned, "You look at his expression, it seems that he didn't open the door voluntarily!"
"Hmm, indeed, but aren't they afraid of offending the Gu family by doing this?" Dahu took a closer look and found that Zhao Laoer, who was watching the play below, still had a hint of a playful smile on his face.
Bang - then there was a light sound of "click, click, click", except for a little heavy, the gate of the underground palace was easily pushed open by Jian Wendao, and a wave of old and turbid air rushed to his face, and Jian Wendao immediately held his breath and stepped back in embarrassment. Hell knows if it's poison gas!
The five of them ignored Jian Wendao's movements, but each covered their mouths and noses and slowly waited for the air inside to flow first.
"Okay, you kid go first. After waiting for a while, feeling that there was nothing unusual, Zhao Lao Er let Jian Wendao continue to open the way.
Jian Wendao sighed, and had to take the lead in the underground palace with a bitter face, and the other five people followed into it one after another, and Chongyun Sword Elder walked in the last responsible rear. Before leaving, he looked at the dark tunnel behind him, and the five tigers quickly shrank back to avoid his gaze.
"Hmph. Chongyun Jian Lao showed a strange smile, then turned around and followed into the underground palace.
The five tigers hid for a while before slowly walking to the door, the four tigers volunteered to go in to find out the situation first, and the other four tigers waited outside the door to respond.
"Big brother, that old man is so scary, although he didn't look at me just now, I feel like I'm being targeted by some beast. The Five Tigers rubbed their chests with palpitations.
"I'm afraid that his strength is more than the ninefold peak of martial arts!" said Erhu with a nodding in agreement.
At this time, the four tigers who went to explore the way had already returned, and he was still a little anxious to see him.
"Come in, brothers! there's nothing in there, those people have already gone a long way!" said the four tigers anxiously.
"Really?" Erhu was still a little skeptical.
"Yes, second brother, it seems that someone is faster than all of us, and the mechanisms along the way have been forcibly broken, so the old man and they will speed up!"
"Oh no, we may all be late!" The big tiger was also anxious at this time, and immediately summoned the life-loading giant axe and rushed into the dungeon.
"Big brother!!" the other four tigers hurriedly took out their life outfits and followed closely.
On the other end, after discovering that they were taken first, Zhao Laoer, Jiang San, and the Yuehuan Swordsman took the place of Jian Wendao and ran forward quickly, and if the treasure inside was snatched away by the guy who arrived first, it would not be a second!
