Just when Yuan Dou was forced to walk in this passage with the others, Lian Yan and Ye Xi were also in trouble.

The two of them went very smoothly all the way, and according to Yuan Dou's ideas, coupled with their own intelligence, they came here early. At this time, the place where they were was was at the end of the passage that Yuan Dou was walking on. However, just as Yuan Dou thought, at this time, a huge stone gate blocked their way, but they were never able to unlock the mechanism on the door and open the door. Although they are now the closest people to the treasure, they still stop there, and they can't move an inch.

"Ye Xi, this door can't be opened, should we do this?" Even Yan said dejectedly.

Ye Xi tried to fiddle with the mechanism on the door again, but it still had no effect. At this time, hearing Lian Yan's words, Ye Xi shook his head and said to Lian Yan, "I think, we can get something, so we can't open this door." ”

"What's missing?" Lian Yan asked.

Ye Xi looked at the pattern on the door, and then said, "I think, we are missing that bead." ”

Lian Yan followed Ye Xi's gaze and also saw the groove on the door, the size seemed to be the size of a bead. Lian Yan nodded and said to Ye Xi, "Then what should we do now, go back to find Yuan Dou?" ”

Ye Xi shook his head and said to Lian Yan, "I think it must be very chaotic outside now, and we may become the target of public criticism when we go out." ”

"So what to do?" Lian Yan asked.

"I don't know if we'll be able to break the door." Ye Xi said with a smile.

Listening to Ye Xi's words, Lian Yan laughed, and then said, "Why don't we try?" ”

Ye Xi nodded and said, "I'll come first, let me see how thick this door is first." Seeing that Ye Xi was so positive, Lian Yan nodded, and at the same time took two steps back, giving up the space to Ye Xi.

Ye Xi stood sideways at the door, then snorted softly with "drink" and "ha", and made a vacuum cut with the knife in his right hand, and the rail knife was already sheathed. However, the picture that Ye Xi expected did not appear, and the sword qi that cut stones like tofu during the usual practice stopped on the surface of the stone gate, leaving not even a trace.

Lian Yan saw that Ye Xi had finished trying the move, and hurriedly stepped forward to check. With Lian Yan's eyes, she naturally saw the direction of Ye Xi's knife light, but she didn't find any traces. So Lian Yan turned her head and shook her head at Ye Xi and said, "Your trick is useless, it seems that I still don't have to try again, after all, I am good at defense." ”

Ye Xi smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that my knife is unfavorable, but that I have hesitation in my heart." ”

"What do you mean?" Lian Yan asked.

"I didn't mean anything else, I just hesitated before I went under the knife." Ye Xi said. At the moment when the knife was drawn, Ye Xi saw that the stone gate was a little hesitant, and he did not firmly believe that he could cut the stone gate, but only tried to test it.

"You mean, if you slash again, you can cut through the stone gate without hesitation?" Lian Yan asked.

"Not now, if I hadn't hesitated at first, maybe there would have been a chance. Going under the knife at this point only made me more hesitant. Ye Xi said with a wry smile.

Lian Yan shook her head and asked, "Are you still so particular about your swordsmanship?" ”

"If the heart is not strong, how can the sword be sharpened? It's just that I'm not good at it. Ye Xi suddenly sighed.

The more Lian Yan talked, the more she couldn't understand, but this was not the time to discuss this. Lian Yan shook her head and said to Ye Xi, "Then we can only go back to Yuan Dou to get the beads now?" ”

"I think there's only one way to do it." Ye Xi said.

At this moment, a rare light flickered in the passage behind him, followed by clear footsteps. The two looked at each other, but neither spoke, then turned their heads to stare at the corner of the passageway.

"The footsteps are not very neat, but they are not very messy either, and the person who came is not alone, but the number of people is not large, maybe four or five people." As the people got closer and closer, Lian Yan roughly judged the number of people from the footsteps, and whispered to Ye Xi.

Ye Xi nodded, and then responded in a low voice: "People are coming, be careful, it should be the enemy?" ”

"I understand." Lian Yan naturally understood that the treasure was close at hand, and the people who came were estimated to be enemies.

Yuan Dou and his party had been walking in the straight passage, and at this time, a ninety-degree turn suddenly appeared in front of them. I don't know what the people behind him think, but what Yuan Dou thinks in his heart is "Turn this corner, it's time to arrive." Will Lian Yan and Ye Xi be in front? ”

Yuan Dou's state at this time can only hope for Lian Yan and Ye Xi. Therefore, of course, Yuan Dou wants to see them soon. In Yuan Dou's opinion, although the group of people behind him are all martial arts practitioners, they will definitely not be the opponents of Lian Yan and Ye Xi in terms of strength. Yuan Dou can safely and boldly lead the enemy to them. However, things are not as simple as Yuan Dou thought.

Just after Yuan Dou carefully turned the corner, he saw Lian Yan and Ye Xi in the distance for the first time. And Yuan Dou took advantage of this gap and quietly gave Lian Yan and Ye Xi a look.

Just when Yuan Dou saw Lian Yan and Ye Xi, Lian Yan and Ye Xi naturally saw Yuan Dou as well. However, just when they were happy to step forward, Yuan Dou's eyes stopped them in their tracks. Then, a group of strangers came out of Yuan Dou after him. Only the fat man behind the crowd gave the two of them some reflection.

This situation fell into the eyes of Lian Yan and Ye Xi, and the two naturally understood Yuan Dou's situation, so they didn't act immediately.

Turning the corner, the people behind Yuan Dou also saw Lian Yan and Ye Xi. Just when Yuan Dou wanted to move forward, an arm stretched out behind him and grabbed Yuan Dou's clothes, making Yuan Dou involuntarily stop.

After turning the corner, the passage has come to an end, and the space that follows is much wider than that in the passage, about four or five meters wide, and ten meters long. And there was nothing else in this space, only a huge stone door standing behind Lian Yan and Ye Xi. Of course, Lian Yan and Ye Xi's posture couldn't stop the stone gate, and the people behind Yuan Dou were attracted by the stone gate after they came in. And when they had finished their exclamations of excitement, they withdrew their gaze and looked at the two people standing in front of the door.

"Who are you?" At this point, the head leader asked.

Lian Yan and Ye Xi glanced at each other and did not answer. At this time, the fat man behind everyone seemed to have recovered a little bit of energy, and whispered a few words in the ear of the leader. Then the leader looked at Yuan Dou and said, "They're your companions, right?" ”

Yuan Dou nodded, and the leader glanced at the person on the left. Then the man took out a knife again, put it on Yuan Dou's neck, and said, "Okay, call them over." ”

Yuan Dou didn't expect them to be so cautious, although Lian Yan and Ye Xi came here first, but from the outside, the threat was not very great. Yuan Dou sighed helplessly and said, "This, I said it doesn't count, we are just friends who met in Pingshui." Didn't you see that the treasure was all for them, so it has nothing to do with me? ”
