…………

The dimly lit room seemed to get darker and darker. The light of the fire still flickered, and countless dark shadows lurked in the corners of the room and beneath the furniture.

"This ......... This is? Zhang Laotang's eyes were full of red silk, and he was tired and shocked, and he made a frightened and trembling sound.

Li Yuanfeng nodded and put the empty cup on the table.

"How, how is it possible......... But? ”

The demon-like cruel eyes of the big butler Shan came, "Da Han, still don't you understand?" The magic cannon is just a holy relic to bluff people, and it is used as a bait to deceive those who are greedy for profit. He hid the fire with the cup in his hand, and his pupils deepened and shimmered.

Indescribable pity overflowed from Li Yuanfeng's eyes, "Elder Zhang, the magic cannon has become a holy spot that everyone is vying for. ”

"Legend has it that the cannon has unimaginable mystical powers, and the owner can be glorified by it."

The butler smiled and nodded, "Really?" I heard that the person who wields the magic cannon can live forever and rejuvenate his youth; Others say that everything that comes to mind can be realized. ”

Li Yuanfeng turned his head and threw out this sentence, "The magic cannon is just a weapon, how can it be so powerful." ”

The housekeeper Shan looked at Li Yuanfeng and still joked, "This is not what I said, it is a saying that has been handed down since ancient times." Don't you believe it, Master Lee? ”

“………”

"So that's it. I understand. The big butler smiled bitterly and looked out the window, "Oh, it's all time." It was a pleasure to talk to you, but unfortunately I had to leave, and the appointed hour had come. ”

"Where to go?" Li Yuanfeng suddenly stood up from his chair and squinted at the big butler Shan who was sitting by the door.

Mr. Zhang and I got up for fear that he would escape, and the chairs fell down at the same time.

"Master Li, if you go with me, you can know where I'm going. The invitation is still valid! The butler smiled, straightened the collar with his hand, moved his sitting position, and got up while looking at us, "I'm sorry I didn't have a good student to entertain you, in order to apologize, I have something for you." In fact, I have put a lot of black powder in this workshop, and in a quarter of an hour it will be ignited, and this workshop will be completely blown up without leaving a trace. ”

"All kinds of evidence in the workshop have to be completely destroyed. If you don't want to die a miserable death, I advise you to flee from the cellar to the outside of the workshop now, understand? You don't have time to capture me. ”

"Tell a lie!" I screamed involuntarily and tried to rush forward and grab him.

But he stood upright, looking at me proudly, "If you don't believe me, look at the cabinet behind you!" Black powder was also hidden there. ”

Surprised, I followed these words and opened the door of the wooden cabinet with gold flowers engraved on it behind me.

I gasped, my eyes widening in surprise.

…………

"Good luck, everyone!"

At the moment when we were stunned by the sight, the big butler ran out of the door with lightning speed. We didn't have time to stop his sudden action, and by the time we came back to our senses, we were already gone.

…………

"Great cold! Zhang Baitang! Li Yuanfeng behind him shouted, "There is no time!" Get out of here! ”

We rushed out of the room and down the aisle, desperately climbing the wooden ladder.

Go upstairs, run to the end of the hallway, go downstairs, go down the hallway......... Running desperately, he didn't even have time to pick up the kerosene lamp when it fell.

Mr. Zhang's companion was out of breath, Li Yuanfeng had to hold his hand, and I pushed him and ran desperately. The two of us kept cheering him on, "Cheer up! Zhang Lao accompanies the hall! ”

Mr. Zhang had no strength and responded to us with a nod.

If what the chief butler said is true, the time of the explosion is approaching, and you have to get out of here as soon as possible. If you delay a little, you will die.

We finally came to the narrow cavern that connected the two floors, but we still couldn't stop to rest, and it was about to explode.

We used kerosene lamps for lighting, and we ran desperately with our feet, sweating all over our bodies, and our hearts and mouths felt so stuffy, as if we were about to lose our breath. His cheeks also warmed up and his bones creaked.

The cavern kept echoing the sound of our general momentum and the grinding of clothes.

The cave is followed by a steep wooden staircase, which feels endless, and the darkness seems to never end. I didn't expect us to go so deep underground.

It took us half an hour to climb the secret wooden ladder hidden underground.

Using everything that could be seen around him, he anxiously measured it, and there was only about half an hour left before the detonation time.

We desperately climbed the vertical ladder to escape, stepping into the floor of the Wolf King's Square.

Since it was possible to escape from the "Tiger Cave", we ran to the wooden ladder of the large cellar in one go. On the way, Mr. Zhang's feet were weak and he fell down several times.

No time! Come on!

When we arrived at the entrance of the "Tiger Cave", it was as if our whole body was frozen.

…………

"How so?"

The entrance to the Tiger Cave was covered by crumbling roof slabs and a dozen huge rocks, and we had no time to remove them.

The accomplices of the great butler Shan took advantage of the fact that when we met him, they had already destroyed the road connecting with the outside world. If we don't know how long the butler talks with us, it's just to buy time.

"Go to the dark first floor!" Li Yuanfeng immediately asserted.

"But there's no time!" I say. "Besides, there's a good chance that the cavern over there has been plugged up."

"There's no time to think about it!"

We climbed the staircase again and ran to the dark first floor to the room connected to the secret passage. Sure enough, as expected, the roof slabs had also collapsed, and the stones had completely blocked the access.

At this moment, the entire ancient square shook, and the ground shook and the walls shook. No explosions were heard, but the black powder deep underground must have ignited. Dust and earth and sand fell from above us.

"How?" I asked nervously.

Mr. Zhang was angry and looked at us with a pale face.

"I don't know." Li Yuanfeng, whose hair was unkempt, said, "But I can't stay here,"

"What then?" Surprised, I asked.

"To the third floor. Gunpowder was blown up from the ground. You can't escape from there, but if you're lucky, you might be alive! ”

There was a loud vibration from beneath his feet and on the walls. In addition, a muffled explosion like the sound of the earth could still be heard from nowhere.

"Your Excellency!" Zhang Lao said as if he was about to die, "There must be an iron pestle!" I remember that there seemed to be a firewood room next to the kitchen. ”

The three of us split up to find it. As the sound of the explosion became louder and louder, the amplitude of the shaking of the ancient square also increased greatly, and a huge earthquake seemed to be coming.

We found the proper rope, took the big mallet, and climbed the wooden ladder with all our might. Several times we were shaken by the momentum of the ancient fang, and we almost fell down. The closer you get to the third floor, the more clearly you can hear the explosion, which proves that the point of the gunpowder is getting closer and closer.

The sound of explosions echoed through the mountains and forests.

…………

We finally came to the third floor of the Wolf King Square. Several loud explosions rang out in quick succession, and our bodies shook as if they were about to be thrown out.

I had to clung to the wall as hard as I could, and when I was shaking for a while, I looked through the crack in the wall and saw a thick amount of dust and smoke growing from below.

Zhang Lao pointed to the wooden door above his head and "smashed the ........."

Li Yuanfeng took the hammer and kept knocking it. After several knocks, the wooden door suddenly flew upward. It's finally open! The roof slab cracked a square notch, allowing a glimpse of the gray sky.

…………

"Hurry up! Climb up! ”

I threw the rope out there.

As soon as Li Yuanfeng climbed up, I squatted on the ground, so that Zhang Lao Tongtang could step on my back, and he grabbed Li Yuanfeng's hand and climbed out smoothly.

When I went to the top of the workshop, I saw that the surroundings were not very spacious, and the cold wind was blowing directly. Moss had grown on all sides of the ground, and in the middle was a black wolf statue.

You can see the black forests around the workshop and the mountains in the distance. The shaking and explosion from the bottom of the workshop continued, and the ancient square shook several times.

…………

In the midst of a roar and a roar, Li Yuanfeng said smartly, "Go down from here!" ”

We tied the tip of the rope to the hole in the wooden door and threw it down in the opposite direction from the courtyard gate.

I was the first to go down, and I felt like I was almost going to fall. Zhang Lao and Li Yuanfeng followed closely.

"How? The rope can't reach the ground! ”

Looking down from the air, I suddenly felt hopeless. The north and south sides of the square are surrounded by high courtyard walls, and there is no way to escape.

Now the rope is only nine feet long, and it will never reach the ground.

"Ahhh In an instant, I gripped the rope as tightly as I could.

A terrifying rumble sounded from the depths of the workshop. The explosion cracked the rock wall from the inside, and the sound of collapse echoed violently through the mountains and forests.

At that moment, the ancient square was tilted to one side in addition to the dizziness and shaking. Thick black smoke mixed with dust poured out of the valley from below. The sound of explosions shook us so much that we couldn't move Haoli at all.

"Oh! Oh, my God! Help us! Zhang Lao Companion stepped on Li Yuanfeng's shoulder, looked around in surprise, and let out a sad cry.

Li Yuanfeng desperately endured and kept drumming, "Until the end of the situation, never give up!" ”

After the ancient square swayed, it gradually sank. With the amplitude, a pillar of fiery red burst out from the dust and smoke in the sky.

So far, I have to go along with it.

There was a loud explosion, and the whole square shook more and more dizzy. We clung to the rope desperately. No more! The ground has cracked, and the body has begun to fall.

The fang has been blown up!

This time, it's really all over! I have the consciousness of death. We die here, and we end up with the Wolf King!

I was finally crushed, close my eyes!

…………

…………

I don't know if it's the cry for help from Mr. Zhang's companion.

At that time, a miraculous thing happened!

Li Yuanfeng shouted in the explosion, and we all looked at the sky.

From the sound of the huge explosion surrounding the ancient square, a wonderful sound was indeed heard.

In the distance, there was a continuous stream of small, distinct explosions, like a double-filled, almost exploding boom.

"It's a cannon!" Zhang Lao accompanied the hall with tears in his eyes, and pointed to the sky in the west in the dizzy shaking.

The sky was obscured by the black smoke rising from there, and although we saw the cannon, we could clearly hear the sound of the chamber.

Soon, in front of the smoky black forest, a crowd of people appeared.

"It's the guards!" Li Yuanfeng raised a cheer, "Come and search for the Wolf King Fang one day earlier than the scheduled time." ”

Later, I realized that everything was as Li Yuanfeng said. The Ten Mile City Mansion was originally scheduled to come tomorrow to explore the Wolf King Fang. However, after the two guards of the governor's mansion returned, they immediately told the situation of this fang, and the people of the official residence and Song Dabai contacted the guards of the Shili City Guard, and immediately sent cannons to the rescue. The crowd went up the river road from the border to this remote deep forest.

"What a miracle!" Mr. Zhang accompanies the hall to thank him for his kindness.

…………

"Come and save us!" Zhang Lao shouted anxiously.

My palms were sweating, too.

The explosion of black powder also intensified, and the body of the workshop continued to collapse, and the walls and floor of the workshop were cracked. Dust, smoke and flames kept coming out from beneath the workshop. Some of the exterior walls of the workshop have begun to peel off and collapse.

We clasped our hands together and shouted desperately to the crowd.

The collapse of the ancient square could not be stopped, and it was completely destroyed. You should be able to rescue us in time! There is no room for hesitation at such a juncture.

From the air, you can see the forest and redwood trees next to it, and the dust that rises from the bottom of the workshop is constantly falling and falling. The wind was blowing all over the mountain. We are like a boat on the sea that has been swept into a huge whirlpool.

The continuous and violent vibrations of the square also tilted more and more, and the cracks in the wall became larger and larger. We anxiously looked up at the guard who was slowly climbing the ladder to the west courtyard wall, and thought, "Hurry! It's too late!

Time lags!

The guards on the top of the courtyard wall beckoned to us. Zhang Lao looked at Li Yuanfeng and nodded silently, and the wind played his hair and clothes.

The wooden ladder passed over the courtyard wall, and the guard's feet finally stepped into the courtyard! The inexplicable state of mind made my whole body hot.

The guards set up a wooden ladder on the side, so that we could climb on it.

He nodded to his companion standing on the other side, and the two of them held on to the wooden ladder and went to the courtyard wall, and we floated in the empty ladder.

At this time, the body continued to collapse and shake. Black smoke surrounded the fang, and it was no longer possible to see the surroundings clearly. Thick, dark smoke obscured the entire Wolf King Workshop.

…………

The guards clung to the wooden ladder, and we desperately clung to the ladder beam.

The whole person hung in mid-air, the wind tossed the dust, and the wooden ladder kept shaking.

I kept my eyes closed several times. Even so, the wooden ladder continues to move.

Look at the end of the Wolf King Fang. You'll have to take a look at it.

Suspended in mid-air, the wonderful terrain of the Wolf King Square can be seen at a glance. Sure enough, everything was as previously inferred.

…………

…………

"Ah, it's collapsed!" At the moment of the explosion, Yu screamed in his heart.

Black smoke, dust, and flames rose from the bottom of the workshop, like a volcano, swallowing the "Wolf King Fang". At the same time, the rocks that supported the foundation of the workshop began to crumble as if they had been crushed.

Whether it was the ancient square or the forest surrounding the ancient square, it was finally swallowed up by the huge collapse.

The collapse of the entire Wolf King Fang came into view as if it were slow and sluggish. Walls cracked, foundations collapsed, roof slabs collapsed, and black wolves fell on the roof.

The rumbling of this world is all gathered on this torn earth.

Everything, all submerged in black smoke, nothing could be seen.

It's finally over.

The Wolf King Fang collapsed, the secrets of Penglai Island, the four commandments of the hidden barbarians, the grain storage, and the magic cannon of the single big housekeeper......... Everything is gone.

A kind of surprise that wasn't there.

…………

When I came back to my senses, the wooden ladder was laid flat on the ground.

Stand up and look at the location of the Wolf King Square.

Cracks in the earth appeared, leaving gray scars in a sea of trees.

Turning his head, the dog meat shop was gone.

Cover the vertical side, the corner circle is slow, the ash particles are silky, and there is no matter in sight.
