Chapter 42
Meng Man dusted off the dust on his body, and knocked on the mouth of the tunnel, it seemed to be a code, Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi immediately heard a more dense rustling sound, it was when Meng Man raised his eyes to observe the environment below, he saw Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan hanging in the air, at this time Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan were about to reach the opposite side, and the railing wrapped around the iron chain was in Meng Man's hand, and the current position of the two sides was very obvious.
Leng Changxi observed Meng Man with his residual vision, and moved towards the finish line with difficulty, although he saved Meng Man, he didn't dare to guarantee that Meng Man would do anything unfavorable to them, after all, he was from Chen Jingrui's side, and he had always worshiped Chen Jingrui as a god.
Poof, another person fell out of the tunnel mouth, it was a senior entourage who had been following Meng Man's side, as soon as he came out of the tunnel mouth, he saw Leng Changxi, his eyes immediately ignited with a murderous aura, and when he saw the black insects all over the floor, he probably knew why Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan didn't take the road and wanted to take such a risk, seeing the iron chain wrapped around the railing, this entourage immediately stepped forward and prepared to use the steel knife in his hand to cut off Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan's lifeline.
As soon as the knife came out of the sheath, the retinue did not hesitate to cut down towards the chain, but at the critical moment, the retinue's hand was tightly bound by Meng Man, and the blade was only a finger wide away from the chain, this retinue was puzzled, he stared at Meng Man deadly, could it be that their young master was ready to betray the supreme god of their tribe?
Meng Man glanced at Leng Changxi with his peripheral vision, and suddenly kicked this entourage with his foot, kicking the entourage directly to the center of the floor full of insect swarms, and in an instant, those black insects crawled all over the body of this entourage, only to see that this entourage was like a bigger black insect writhing painfully on the ground, he was covered with this black worm, and there was nowhere to escape.
Faintly, Qin Yunuan could hear the slight tearing sound of the separation of skin and flesh from such a distance, and after a while, the insect swarm dispersed, and only a skeleton remained in the original place, Meng Man glanced at Leng Changxi and shouted a few words in the tribal language.
At this time, Leng Changxi had already taken advantage of this gap to send the two of them safely to their destination, Leng Changxi rubbed his sore arm, turned around and asked Qin Yunuan, "What is he talking about?" โ
"He said that the life-saving grace he owes you has been paid off, and when they meet in the future, they will be enemies." Qin Yunuan glanced at Meng Man, and this glance was meaningful.
"I won't say thank you to him," Leng Changxi didn't reply, "I don't owe him anyway." After speaking, he led Qin Yunuan towards the empty room in the rock wall, and on the other side, the people in the tribe kept sliding down the tunnel, and the last one who came down was Chen Jingrui, who had bad legs and feet, he could only be carried by others, but his focused gaze still did not change.
Everyone couldn't help but feel cold when they saw the bones in this pile of worms, and Meng Man just said lightly: "This is a lesson, you all have to remember that the insects here cannot be touched." โ
Chen Jingrui glanced at Meng Man, had no other words, and ordered: "Find a way to get over, the stone room opposite is the core space of the entire weapons factory;
ใ โ
On the other end, Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi, who had already entered this core space, kept turning along the narrow corridor until a high stone staircase appeared in front of them, and they went up along the steps until they stepped on the last step, and a soft light made the two of them a little uncomfortable.
When I raised my eyes, I found that the furnishings in this huge stone room were almost the same as the lobby of the big family, and the soft light came from the chandelier decorated with night pearls hanging on the stone roof, not to mention a dozen, such a luxury, even the emperor today could not enjoy it.
"There's a stone gate here." Qin Yunuan touched a moving board, and glanced at the candlestick next to the stone door, naturally understood, since there are already so many night pearls in this hall, why bother with candlesticks.
Qin Yunuan twisted the candlestick, and sure enough, the stone door opened suddenly, and the light inside was relatively dim, Leng Changxi saw this, so he jumped up directly, took down the largest night pearl from the night pearl chandelier on the head, and stretched it inside, and the small space was immediately illuminated.
"Let's go inside." After Leng Changxi's palace, compared with the magnificence outside, this place is more like a person's study, with drawings piled up on the long desk, and a lot of bundled drawing paper inserted in the ceramic barrel on the side, some of which are only half depicted.
Leng Changxi couldn't help but step forward to open these drawings, which were all about the internal structure of some machinery, which should be some of the divine weapons that were powerful back then.
"Don't move." Qin Yunuan reminded softly, "If these drawings are true, do you think such a confidential thing will be spread out on the table like this to show you?" โ
Leng Changxi nodded in agreement, and heard Qin Yunuan say again, "Chen Guan is a smart woman, what she wants to do and hide will never be so simple, I'm worried that there is something wrong with these drawings." โ
Speaking of this, suddenly there was a noise outside, it was the sound of a crowd pouring in, if the time was not misestimated, it was Chen Jingrui's group who came over at this time, and here you can see the end at a glance, there is no place to hide, Leng Changxi raised his head, and suddenly saw some protruding stone pillars on the top of this "study", and had an idea.
Outside, when the slaves saw the magnificent ceiling of the Night Pearl in the hall, their eyes were already wide open.
Only Chen Jingrui calmly observed and found that there was one missing pearl this night.
"Meng Man, you lead people to search around, those two people must have come in, those two people are extremely cunning, you have to be more careful." After Chen Jingrui finished speaking, he looked at Wan Yan Su who had been following him, Wan Yan Su at this time was a little pale because of a broken arm, and he still insisted on acting with the big team after a simple bandage, he had always been very submissive to Chen Jingrui, but at this moment, the resentment and injustice in his eyes were revealed.
"I know what you're thinking," Chen Jingrui seemed to be disdainful of Wan Yansu's inner pain, "Isn't it just that I used your wife as a pedal to walk through the swarm?" So what, men, they all want to do big things, they are trapped by a woman, how can they dominate the world, do you remember that you yourself said that when you return to Beidi Dadu, you will definitely be able to become a climate and hold great power, I am just clearing the obstacles for you in advance, no thanks. โ
After Yan Su wanted to speak and stopped, his angry face was so red that he couldn't hold back the anger, Chen Jingrui glanced at him, and said with a smile: "You go, twist the candlestick on the wall, if I remember correctly, it is to turn on the switch of the secret room." โ
Wan Yansu swallowed his anger, at this time, he was no longer the fourth prince of Beidi brocade clothes and jade food, he was just a clown attached to Chen Jingrui, doing the lowest work;
The candlestick was twisted again, the stone door was opened again, and like Leng Changxi, Chen Jingrui and the others were instantly attracted by the full drawings on the desk.
Granny Yu said in a trembling voice: "Oh my God, we found it, this is the biggest treasure, we found the drawings." โ
After Granny Yu finished speaking, Chen Jingrui immediately called out to an entourage beside him and said, "You go, get me all the drawings." โ
The attendant nodded, and stepped forward to lift one of the drawings, and immediately, a puff of green smoke erupted violently into the eyes of the attendant, accompanied by a scream that seemed to come from hell, and the attendant covered his eyes in pain, and the green smoke seemed to stick to his cheeks.
"Bring me some water." Granny Yu instructed the slave behind her to hand over a horn pot with half of the water left, and Granny Yu immediately made a decision and splashed the water on the face of the attendant, but on the contrary, the green smoke not only did not disperse, but turned into a scorching liquid, and after a while, the face of the attendant was already corroded.
Granny Yu secretly said in her heart that it was not good, but this entourage had no intention of tearing off the drawings on the desk one by one in the process of struggling, and when the last drawing fell to the ground, A thick pฤn'shรจ came out, it turned out that this case was hollow for a few miles, and the two things that made this poisonous green smoke were placed, and when someone moved the drawings on it, it would set off and mix the two things violently to form a corrosive green smoke, and the density of this green smoke was heavier than the air, so it was all depressed and floated along the floor, and it did not affect Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan who had been hiding behind the light stone pillar.
Leng Changxi still hid the huge night pearl in his arms, the light below was relatively bright, and the two of them saw the movement below clearly, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, fortunately, they didn't have the greed at that time, and went to mess with the drawings on the case.
The slaves behind didn't know what was happening, only to see the billowing green smoke coming out continuously, and some of them had the same idea as Granny Yu, wanting to use clean water to suppress the green smoke, but they got a worse end, for a while, Chen Jingrui's side had not obtained anything valuable, and most of the remaining slaves had been damaged.
Even Chen Jingrui had to be hurriedly recited.
There was green smoke billowing from below, but Qin Yunuan on top inadvertently raised his head and saw something surprising on the top of this stone.
"Changxi, look." Qin Yunuan pointed to the stone top that was still a little dim under the illumination of the Night Pearl, there seemed to be a lot of things engraved on it, not words, but some straight curves and patterns, Qingyan had already forced Chen Jingrui and the others out, and Leng Changxi was not afraid to take out the illuminated Night Pearl to investigate.
After Qin Yunuan looked at it for a long time, he made a judgment: "That's right, there is no doubt that what is depicted on this is the real drawing." โ
"How do you take it out?" Leng Changxi looked at the treasure carved on the stone wall and sighed.
"Since Chen Wan engraved the drawings on this, he didn't want people to take them out, but you forgot, your wife and I have the ability to never forget." Qin Yunuan said as she secretly. Write down the shapes one by one.
Leng Changxi held the night pearl in his hand to illuminate Qin Yunuan, and when he illuminated the stone wall behind Qin Yunuan, the careful Leng Changxi found that this stone wall was not very different from the one next to him.
He stretched out his hand and knocked on it, listening to the crisp sound of the emptiness, Leng Changxi smiled: "Nuan Nuan, behind this stone wall, it is empty." โ
