183. The first floor of the underground secret room
Seeing this secret passage, anyone can guess that there must be something strange here. Everyone tacitly took out the torches and ignited them, and then several of them threw the torches into the secret passage first, and after making sure that nothing abnormal happened in the secret passage, everyone rushed into the secret passage.
The air inside the passage is dry, but it is not stuffy, and it is clear that the builders also took ventilation into account when building the passage, and this alone can conclude that the passage must have been used regularly. After descending more than ten meters along the stairs, what appeared in front of everyone was an underground corridor with a height of about three or four meters and a width that could accommodate seven or eight people in parallel.
"Be careful, there might be traps here." Yang Qianyu cautiously reminded his companions.
"Since I've said that people often use this passage, maybe they won't be able to install these obstructive devices...... Oops! Ruan Kunpeng, who was walking in the forefront, turned his head and responded, and before he finished speaking, he saw that his feet suddenly fell down, and the whole person staggered to the side. At the same time, a cold light flashed above his head, and a heavy giant axe slashed down!
"Be careful!" Seeing this, Xue Xiaojing, who was only half a step behind Ruan Kunpeng's position, hurriedly reached out and pushed Ruan Kunpeng, pushing Ruan Kunpeng's figure a few steps forward, and then quickly cast 'Shine' to teleport himself backwards by a distance, which was able to dodge the approaching axe blade.
The great axe slammed into the ground, splitting a crack in the solid ashlar ground.
Ruan Kunpeng, who fell forward, got up, turned his head to look at the heavy giant axe on the ground, and couldn't help swallowing saliva in his throat, and he was terrified. The power of the giant axe launched by the mechanism is not small, and the giant axe itself is also quite heavy, so the power of this smash can naturally be imagined. Ruan Kunpeng paid for himself, even if he was afraid that he would not be able to block such an attack, if he was really hit, he would be cut off and disabled, or he would die. Although he can be healed and revived quickly by relying on the abilities of other companions, he still has to bear the pain when he is hit, and the degree of pain is absolutely unimaginable.
ββ¦β¦ Thank you. After Ruan Kunpeng came back to his senses, he thanked Xue Xiaojing, who saved his life once for pushing himself.
"You'd better listen to Qianyu's words, otherwise I may not have time to save you every time." Xue Xiaojing accepted Ruan Kunpeng's thanks, and at the same time responded indifferently.

With Ruan Kunpeng's experience, his companions will naturally no longer be careless. Although the passage was spacious, everyone still lined up in a long snake formation and walked cautiously. Xue Xiaojing, who was the most agile, explored the path in front of his head, Yang Lixue followed closely behind with the 'Summoning Night Stalker' and released an owl to fly above Xue Xiaojing's head to provide support, Li Xiang walked in the third place, ready to stand at the front to block the knife for the partner behind, the rest of the companions were melee and long-range, mixed with each other in a long line, closely following each other, and Han Shan, who was walking at the end, placed a 'sentry guard' at intervals to monitor the route of the team to ensure that there would be no problems with the retreat in the event of an accident.
In the course of this journey, the crowd encountered four or five similar organs. Some are crossbow arrows suddenly shot from the walls on both sides, some are giant hammers falling from the ceiling, and some are suddenly opened by pits in the floor and pits full of sharp blades. The most suspended time was when the ceiling of the passage suddenly opened, spilling a lot of highly corrosive scum, if it wasn't for Yang Lixue to detect the abnormality and warn in time, Xue Xiaojing immediately dodged it, and the sloppy water poured on the head could dissolve it on the spot, and there was not even a bone slag left.
After zigzags and journeys of about two hundred meters, the group entered a hall-like space with a radius of about twenty meters. The companions entered the hall and looked around.
The height of this space is also much higher than that of the passage, about six meters or so. The center of the slightly curved ceiling is inlaid with a fluorescent stone the size of a human head, while the entire ceiling and the circular walls are all polished from crystal rock, and the faint glow of glowstone reflects the entire hall under the refraction of the crystal rock ceiling and walls.
In the middle of the hall, twelve armored warriors wearing heavy iron armor and holding heavy swords, giant axes, maces, spears, flails, and large shields stood in a circle facing outward, looking majestic and heroic.
"Look, there's a pathway there!" Sun Xiaoyu pointed to the position of the passage that everyone had entered, and shouted at a position far away from each other.
"Well, it looks like another staircase that goes down." Yang Lixue saw the road at the opposite entrance clearly through the owl vision flying in the sky.
"Shall we go over now?" Ma Jun asked impatiently.
"Of course you can," Yang Qianyu replied calmly. "As long as those guys don't get in our way."
"Which guys?" Ma Jun was stunned when he heard this.
"Who else could it be? Of course it isβ" Yang Qianyu raised his hand and pointed to the group of armored warriors standing in the middle of the hall. "-- those guys."
As soon as Yang Qianyu's words fell, he saw the bodies of those armored warriors who seemed to be just metal ornaments swaying, and at the same time, the eyes of the helmets also flashed with a terrifying chill.
"There's something weird about these armors!" Seeing this, everyone was alert, and each took out their weapons and was on full alert.
"How the hell did these ambushed guys hide their breath?!" Sun Xiaoyu asked questions while aiming at a target with a bow.
The crowd was also stunned. When they first saw these armored warriors, everyone was subconsciously wary. However, those armored warriors stood motionless, as if they were really just decorations, and everyone let down their vigilance. Unexpectedly, in just a moment, these armor warriors who looked like ornaments were actually active, and it was obvious that they were the guards of this hall.
However, everyone observed them for a long time, but they did not find any of them hiding in the armor. You know, even a high-level warrior of the power type will feel tired after wearing such heavy armor for a long time, let alone standing motionless for such a long time. How is it possible not to breathe at all?
Unless, they are not people.
This thought just flashed in everyone's minds, and a sudden change abruptly appeared in the field.
I saw that these twelve armored warriors moved one after another, two of them held a huge shield in one hand and a short sword in the other, and quickly blocked the passage leading to the hall to the next place, while the other ten armored warriors couldn't help but burst out and attacked everyone!
