Chapter 13 has just begun
Li Bai and the others used Li Xingwei's method to cross six intersections without danger, and the result was indeed as Cezaire estimated, on the premise that they were prepared for possible traps, there was no attrition along the way.
Of course, this is not just something that can be done by luck or prudence, but the main reason is that these five people are indeed strong and have their own strengths, and partly because the kingdom of Insofu has been destroyed for many years, and most of the traps they use are very old, or they use technology that seems a little old to people today, so they are not too difficult to deal with.
Soon, they came to the seventh junction.
But here, Li Xingwei suddenly said: "Everyone, this time we don't have to go separately." β
"Oh?" said CΓ©saire, who immediately replied, "Could it be ...... Xingwei, have you deciphered the meaning of these symbols?"
Li Xingwei nodded and replied in a very affirmative tone: "Yes, although the appearance of the previous six intersections and a total of eighteen symbols is different, it is actually regular, and I have seen through it. As he spoke, he had already taken steps in one direction, "Come, let's not waste time, I'll explain to you as I go." β
The five of them all came here together, and when Li Xingwei said this, the other four didn't think much about it and followed one after another.
Li Xingwei did begin to explain as he walked: "When I first saw those symbols, I felt a little familiar, but I couldn't tell what they were, until I came to the fourth intersection and I saw one of them with a symmetrical shape, and I didn't react...... These symbols correspond to the constellations in the sky. β
By the time he had said this, the five had come and crossed a short distance to the door of a room.
"When outside, judging from the position of the sun, it can be seen that the urban pattern of this kingdom of Insofu sits in the north and faces south, and the 'north' is respected, so the symbols pointing to the correct route correspond to the four elephants and seven houses of the northern Xuanwu, that is, the seven constellations of 'fighting, bull, woman, void, danger, room, and wall', and the other two symbols that appear at each intersection correspond to the four elephants under the eastern dragon and the western white tiger, the eastern route leads to the 'record room', and the western route leads to the trap. β
By the time he had finished speaking, everyone had already entered the room of the current route.
"Eh, then, this seventh intersection should be the last, right? You can go through this to the place where the treasure is placed?" Fu Feichen reacted quickly this time, and asked by the opportunity.
But before his words landed, suddenly!
Li Xingwei, who was originally walking with everyone, retreated suddenly, as if he was being pulled away by an invisible force, and rushed out to the rear.
"I'm sorry. β
When they heard these three words, the other three didn't understand yet, but Li Bai had already realized that they had been deceived.
Li Xingwei did see through the meaning of the symbol, but ...... This is not the "right room".
At this moment, Li Xingwei used the mechanism on his body to make an emergency stop and move back against physical common sense, and he withdrew from the room in an instant, and almost at the same time as he went out, the trap in the house was triggered.
Bang bang β
In a second, four stone walls were cut off from all sides of the room, sealing Li Bai, Fu Feichen, Cezelle, and Kelly in a space that was less than five meters long, wide, and high.
It was obviously impossible to use a bomb in such a small space, and the stone wall would probably be blown into meat sauce before it could be exploded, and Cezaire's wide-open scythe could not exert all its strength in such a place, and it was difficult to expect him to be able to split a path.
Just when the four of them thought that this was not good, something worse happened......
Holes suddenly appeared in the stone walls above their heads and beneath them, and metal spikes more than half a meter long quickly protruded from each hole.
At this moment, Cezaire's eyes were quick, and he quickly threw his scythe to the side, and under the charge of spar energy, the length of the scythe instantly doubled, and its two ends were just enough to resist the stone walls on the left and right.
Li Bai and Fu Feichen didn't need his help, because when the spikes on the ground popped out, the two of them jumped up instinctively, and now they both jumped onto the scythe shaft of Cesaire.
Now, the four of them were like four sparrows parked on a clothes pole, and they couldn't touch their heads and feet, and there was no way out on all sides, and they didn't know how long the scythe would support them.
"Damn! This surnamed Li is also doing too much!" Fu Feichen couldn't help scolding at this time, "I have long seen that this guy has a ghost in his heart, but I didn't expect to be stabbed in the back by him at such a time!"
He is an afterthought, and others just listen to it, not to mention that he is paying Feichen, and the Saizer brothers and sisters have never seen anything wrong with Li Xingwei.
Only Li Bai, he knew that Li Xingwei might have his own purpose, but he didn't expect that the other party would suddenly betray everyone at such a point in time, which was really unguardable.
"Alas...... The human heart is unpredictable. In the face of Li Xingwei's betrayal and the desperate situation in front of him, Li Bai was surprisingly calm, he even picked up the gourd on his body, sat on the sickle rod leisurely and drank wine.
"When is it time that you still have the heart to drink?" Fu Feichen said, "Don't give up on yourself when everyone needs you the most!"
As he said this, there was a strange "coo" sound from the stone walls above their heads and beneath their feet, and then ...... They both approached them.
"Huh...... This trap is a classic. Cesaire also smiled at this time, wryly, he was a gentleman after all, in the face of this imminent death, he did not lose his temper, nor did he resent anyone, he just looked at his sister Kelly, and said gently, "I'm sorry, my brother failed to protect you." β
"No, I have to come with you, and I know the risks of this trip. Kelly shook her head, and also showed a determined, strong expression, she didn't want her brother to feel guilty about her in this last moment.
Unexpectedly, at the moment when they were all about to be moved by themselves, Li Bai suddenly said in a very relaxed tone: "I haven't given up yet, don't leave your last words by talking to yourself." As he spoke, he took another sip of the gourd.
"Hey, can you solve this situation with a few sips?" Fu Feichen was anxious, but he didn't forget to complain about Li Bai.
"Heh......" Li Bai replied with a smile, "I drink...... It means I'm going to be serious. β
Hearing this, Fu Feichen, Cezelle, and Kelly's reactions were unanimous: "What?"
In the next second, before the three of them understood what was going on, Li Bai's sword had already been shot.
An ordinary broken iron sword, in the hands of most people, may even cut the fast iron sheet, but in the hands of Li Bai, who has become serious, this sword is sharp enough.
It is sharp enough to cut through metal spikes half a meter long, sharp enough to tear through stone walls more than two meters thick, and even sharp enough to break the cogs in the walls and cause structural damage to the building itself......
Before that, Saizel and the others also knew that Li Bai's sword was fast, but they didn't expect that speed was only the tip of the iceberg of Li Bai's strength that Li Bai usually showed.
When Li Bai "took a few sips", became serious, and urged the superb sword intent in his swordsmanship, he was one of the strongest swordsmen in the entire King Continent, how could he resist the mere stones and metals?
............
At the same time, the end of another road.
Here, there is a huge, empty space.
After Li Xingwei stepped into this place, he couldn't see the distance and the edge above at a glance.
If it weren't for the bright moonlight jade fluorescence coming from far above, Li Xingwei might really wonder if he was still underground.
"There really is a treasure ......"
Soon, Li Xingwei was attracted by a beam of light shining from the dome, and at the end of the beam, he saw a clear spring.
On the edge of the spring, there is a very high waterfall, and if you look closely, you can see that the water of this waterfall is actually going upstream, but I don't know what the principle is, and the water volume of this small pool of spring water shows no sign of decreasing under this "reverse current phenomenon".
And in the middle of this spring, also in a circular area illuminated by the beam of the dome, there stood a cyan spar more than one person high.
Li Xingwei walked quickly to the spar, and with excitement and a little apprehension, he touched the spar with his hand.
The moment his palm and the spar touched, it was a man who was neither male nor female, neither old nor young...... Voices that seemed to be fused with countless different voices sounded in his head......
"What do you want?" the voice asked him.
"I ......" Li Xingwei hesitated for two seconds, and then gave an answer that he had to give......
