Chapter 288: Horror in the Secret Room
A group of people walked forward step by step by the dim light. Distorted shadows were cast on the stone walls on both sides, which looked a little weird.
A closed stone door appeared in front of him, and the guard at the head cautiously groped around the stone door, looking for the mechanism to open.
Suddenly, he seemed to have touched some bulge, and his face suddenly rose with joy, "Found it!" ”
As he pressed the mechanism gently, the stone wall made a loud noise, and the smile on the guard's face turned to horror before it could bloom.
"Oh no, run!" As soon as the words fell, a boulder fell from above, and the guards couldn't dodge and were smashed squarely. Blood slid from the top of his head, and the mighty body fell with a bang, bringing up a cloud of dust.
Mu Zhufeng and his subordinates dodged in time, but they were not injured, but the guard who explored the agency was not so lucky. Looking at the person who was no longer breathing, a trace of sadness flashed in everyone's eyes. They saluted the guard lying on the ground, then walked around him.
It's a long road, and no one knows how many people will be sacrificed, so maybe this is just the beginning.
The other guard silently walked around to the front and took over the work of the guard.
Before the shock was settled, Mu Zhufeng subconsciously pulled the rope at hand, wanting to let Chi Wan stay by his side. But the rope in his hand became light, and he secretly said that it was not good, and he looked at it intently. There was still Chi Wan at the other end of the rope, only the endless darkness, like a hungry beast, devouring all living things.
Mu Zhufeng wrung his eyebrows and looked at him for a long time, and finally made up his mind, "You guys go first, I'll go back to find someone." ”
"But the general ......"
"No, but! That's an order! "The momentum of Mu Zhufeng climbed suddenly, so that the guards who still wanted to dissuade couldn't open their mouths.
“…… Be. The guard clasped his fists and saluted, and continued without hesitation.
The military order is like a mountain, and they can't afford to refuse, not to mention that the prince is still waiting for the tiger talisman, if they can't get it in the end, maybe they will even affect the general.
Mu Zhufeng turned around and left only after the guards were completely out of sight.
At this time, Chi Wan was stumbling in the opposite direction, after knowing that the tiger talisman might be hidden in this secret room, she thought about running away, after all, there were so many people on Mu Zhufeng's side, if she wanted to win the tiger talisman under their noses, it was tantamount to a fool's dream.
Taking advantage of the fall of the boulder, everyone panicked, and Ji Wan bit the rope on her wrist hard, and dodged into another fork in the road. Now it's up to you to find the Tiger Talisman first.
In order to race against time, Chi Wan couldn't help but speed up her pace, and suddenly, her eyes suddenly opened up, and her face couldn't help but flash a trace of joy. Just when she thought she had found the main room of the secret room, a group of guards ran in front of her and surrounded her.
"His Royal Highness the Prince! Catch a sneaky man! The guard shouted behind him.
A figure faintly appeared in the darkness, a golden silk python robe, and it was the prince who came later!
Damn, how did you touch him?
Chi Wan's pupils shrank, and she subconsciously wanted to escape, but where would the guards give her a chance, she quickly cut off her arms, how could a weak woman be the opponent of the guards, no matter how hard Chi Wan struggled, it would be useless.
The guards twisted Ji Wan in front of the prince and grabbed her by the hair, forcing her to look up.
"Is that you?" The prince's gloomy eyes looked each other up and down, at this time, the makeup on Chi Wan's face had already been rubbed almost, as long as she looked carefully, she could see her original appearance.
Looking at that familiar face, the prince licked the corners of his mouth evilly, "It's just right to open the way for this prince." ”
None of them knew the mechanism, and they relied on hard breaking all the way, and nearly half of the guards had been folded into the short distance. The prince was worried about what to do, and Chi Wan happened to hit the muzzle.
Ignoring Chi Wan's cannibalistic eyes, the guards brutally pushed Chi Wan to the front.
Knowing that she couldn't escape, Chi Wan could only hold back her inner thoughts, lower her head and lead the way in front, there are many mechanisms in this secret room, but if you really observe carefully, it is not difficult to find the mystery in it, but the prince's people are too urgent, but it is easy to go into a dead end.
Chi Wan took a turn of steps, avoiding the safest road, and instead chose the one with the most mechanisms. The prince didn't notice it, they were all nervous, ready to retreat and flee for their lives at any time. When they came over just now, they had seen the horror of the mechanism.
The prince was surrounded by all the guards, but he was not injured.
When Mu Zhufeng chased after him, he saw this scene, with his eyesight, he could naturally see the prince's intentions, and he stopped Chi Wan behind him without thinking about it, "Your Highness, the road ahead is dangerous, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to let a weak woman open the way." ”
"Weak woman?" The prince glanced at him with a smile, "Mu Zhufeng, take a good look at who this weak woman is." ”
Hearing this, Mu Zhufeng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and turned his head to find that the easy-to-use makeup on Chi Wan's face had already been spent. The hand he was holding tightened, and he sighed in his heart.
"What, you're distressed? You should be glad that you can still use her in the secret room, if you are outside, the prince will be summarially executed if he catches her. The prince snorted, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
Mu Zhufeng's heart also trembled, he knew that what the prince said was not a joke, "Your Highness, the last general pleaded with me to explore the way." ”
The prince's face suddenly sank, and he stared at Mu Zhufeng for a long time before he snorted coldly, "General Mu is really pitiful, lead the way, don't miss the time of this prince." ”
"Your Highness!" Mu Zhufeng made a deep gesture, and then protected Chi Wan behind him, "I'll go to break the mechanism first, if you notice something is wrong, run quickly." ”
Chi Wan looked at Mu Zhufeng's back with a complicated expression, and pursed her lips lightly, "I don't need your fake kindness, I can go by myself." ”
"Don't make trouble, there are many organs here, and if you are not careful, you will have to worry about your name." Mu Zhufeng turned his head suddenly, and his tone couldn't help but sink, and after a long time, he sighed almost inaudibly, "I don't want you to get hurt." ”
Chi Wan's steps paused, and she looked away in a panic, but in the end, she didn't refuse Mu Zhufeng's kindness again.
In order to prevent the mechanism from being triggered, the two of them were so close to each other that Chi Wan could even hear Mu Zhufeng's heartbeat, again and again, which made the temperature in the secret room rise a few points.
Perhaps because she was a little absent-minded, Chi Wan accidentally stepped on a moving floor tile, and the unusual touch under her feet shocked her, and she just wanted to remind her after noticing that something was wrong, and countless arrow feathers suddenly shot out around her, and the arrows made of dark iron reflected a slight cold light.
At this time, Chi Wan was in the center of the sword formation, and it was obviously too late to dodge, but at this critical moment, Mu Zhufeng pulled Chi Wan to the ground and rolled around on the ground, which was able to avoid the arrow feather.
Mu Zhufeng snorted, suppressed the painful cry that overflowed his mouth, and quietly pulled out the arrow inserted in his right arm as he helped Chi Wan to get up.
"How are you, are you okay?" Chi Wan looked Mu Zhufeng up and down, her eyes could not hide her anxiety, although Mu Zhufeng's voice was very soft, but Chi Wan, who was so close to him, still heard it.
"It's all right, you...... Are you worried about me? ”
"Who...... Whoever is worried about you, I am afraid that if you are injured, there will be no one to protect me in the future. Facing Mu Zhufeng's scorching gaze, Chi Wan avoided her gaze in a panic and explained incoherently.
Knowing that Chi Wan was just a knife-mouthed tofu heart, Mu Zhufeng couldn't help but let out a low laugh, which made Chi Wan even more uncomfortable.
After the prince's people dodged the rain of arrows in embarrassment, they were still panting in shock, feeling a little like the rest of their lives. Tasting the benefits of Chi Wan's opening the way, the prince refused to let go of the other party, and viciously interrupted the conversation between her and Mu Zhufeng, forcing her to continue to move forward.
This time, Ji Wan was a lot more careful, she had already figured out the rules of the mechanism setting, and she was like a god along the way, but she walked a long distance safely.
With the joy spreading on the prince's face, Mu Zhufeng's face became more and more heavy, he did not ignore the dismal death of the guards on the ground, these people were all let him go first, but they were all folded here at this time.
Mu Zhufeng secretly counted, and the more he counted, the more frightened he became, fifty-seven, and none of them were spared. In the darkness, his eyes were red, and they were overflowing with grief. These guards have followed him from birth to death, the most loyal, good son, should have defended the family and the country on the battlefield, but in the end with the most tragic attitude, they stayed in this secret room forever.
Hiding the angry eyes of the last guard, Mu Zhufeng felt dissatisfied with the prince for the first time.
The prince didn't notice that his henchmen had centrifugal thoughts, his heart and eyes were occupied by the tiger talisman, and he only felt that he was really wise, and he could actually think of letting Chi Wan open the way. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid the guards he brought would all be dead, and he might not be able to get here.
After the last stone door opened, the main room of the secret room was also revealed, and the prince's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pushed Chi Wan away regardless of it and walked in first.
The dazzling gold comes into view, which makes people feel a little dizzy, about the accumulation of past dynasties, and many gold and silver treasures are stored in the secret room, which are randomly piled up on the ground.
Unlike the prince's move of going straight to the center, Ji Wan showed a special interest in the money. With glowing eyes, he squatted on the ground and rummaged, like a fortune fan.
If she can still maintain her image, those guards can even look straight in their eyes, their mouths are constantly secreting saliva, and their eyes are greedy that can't be concealed.
If it weren't for the fact that the prince was still there, they would have gone up and robbed it a long time ago.
