Follow the king cat all the way down, the characteristics of the fire are becoming more and more obvious, but it is completely different from the phenomenon of being raged by flames on the wild mountain, there is no fire and smoke here, but it is very hot, and the branches of the trees occasionally seen in the space have no traces of smoke and fire, but they all seem to have been charred in a high temperature state.

To be precise, the place we approached, resembling the bottom of a furnace, was so hot that the ash was constantly sliding down like an avalanche, which turned out to be the source of the gray existence I had seen earlier.

A minute ago I was worried about carbon monoxide poisoning, but strangely enough, the air was coming in, and it was cool.

Where the hell have we been?

First of all, from the distance estimation from the entrance passage to the present, I don't think we have the ability to go into the interior of the earth and encounter magma.

Secondly, as far as I know, there are no geographical phenomena such as volcanoes in the vicinity of Jiangjia Village.

In addition, I also knew that there was no coal in the local area, so I ruled out the possibility of spontaneous combustion of coal underneath the mine.

Besides, I have seen the environment in the mountains behind Jiangjia Village, although there are forests, but if a fire breaks out, it is impossible to have such a major impact on the surface of the earth.

Ruling out all of the above possibilities, then why is there such an obvious fire here? Could it really be the flame circle arranged by my great-grandfather Jiang Ha to prevent people from casually entering the Jiang family's ancestral house?

Oh my god, that's a lot of money!

These thoughts are just a thousand times in my mind, and I am still calm on the surface, just silently following Wang Mao'er.

Perhaps, everything will only be seen after meeting Lao Wang.

This walked a long distance, only to see a zigzag stone staircase in front of it turn up, there is a platform on the top of the stairs, there are many people, but they all look like they are gray-faced, and they can't see which one is Lao Wang.

At this time, Wang Mao'er actually smashed his mouth and said: "The jerky is all piled on it, hehe......"

Hey, I can't laugh or cry.

I couldn't bear it anymore, so I glared at this foodie who didn't know whether to live or die.

Walking up the stone steps slowly, the smell of burnt barbecue along the way was very strong, but as soon as I thought that these smells came from mice, I couldn't help but feel a chill~

There are indeed not many people left, and at a glance, there are only twenty or thirty, which seems cold and desolate.

Sure enough, as Wang Mao'er said, there are more burnt and ripe mouse corpses on the platform, piled up and shocking!

What's going on?

At this time, a person stood up in the crowd trembling dangerously, looking exactly like a balloon that had been burst, and greeted me with emotion: "Are you here?!"

My eyes widened in astonishment, and my mouth opened wide to estimate that at this time I could easily roll into an egg—it was Lao Wang.

The old king, who was once high-spirited and extremely powerful, has become such a virtuous person!

Really, his beard is now scorched and curly, and his gray face is clearly a little guy who burns a fire.

Look at the other companions, it's even worse!

Lao Wang is barely pleasing to the eye compared to them.

I couldn't help but say, "Lao Wang, how could it be so miserable?"

"Alas......" Lao Wang sighed, tears flashed in his eyes, obviously indescribable, which made people feel a little pity.

It can even be said that all my previous dissatisfaction and resentment towards him have almost all disappeared at this moment.

Nima, this old man is not easy, he was once in a good place, and now he is in this field, and it seems that God has punished him on my behalf.

Next, through communication, I roughly figured out the state.

It turned out that the tunnel under the chessboard was indeed dug out by Lao Wang and the rat soldiers with their minions, and the gray space was the entrance to the back mountain circle that they had studied for many years and learned some of the countermeasures I had revealed through the game with me.

Since it is a magic circle, of course, there are too many strict precautions.

However, I am a descendant of the Jiang family, and Lao Wang is indeed a genius, so he was able to use me as a guide in an ingenious way, and through repeated calculations in the process of lighting up the chessboard, he figured out the operation mechanism of the entrance of the magic circle.

In his opinion, there were only two squares left on the chessboard that had not been lit, and in fact, there was no big problem.

In fact, it is true, when I was mildly insomnia and only cared about chatting with Wang Mao'er at night, Lao Wang and his children and grandchildren had already quietly entered this entrance space, and victory was in sight, because entering the real Jiang family's ancestral house was almost one step away.

But they never dreamed that just as Lao Wang and his children and grandchildren came to the bottom of the stone steps and were about to celebrate, the front of the platform suddenly collapsed.

Watching a huge ball of coals fall from the sky, burning the rat soldiers who couldn't dodge to the point of crying wolf, and instantly turning into barbecue jerky that made the king cat's mouth water!

And the coals of fire also smashed on the stone bridge in front of the platform, and the stone bridge collapsed.

As a direct consequence of this catastrophe, the rat soldiers were almost completely wiped out, and the passage to the back mountain was cut off.

"See for yourself. ”

I looked in the direction of Lao Wang's finger, and it was true, I could see a small piece of sky above my head, but at my feet in front of me was a fiery moat.

"Alas, I'm just going to waste my money, and in the end it's a ......."

Lao Wang said sadly, and his voice sounded as if he was about to die.

I couldn't help but slander him, so I jokingly said to him for a long time:

"Oh, so you invited me here just to see your miserable situation? ”

As soon as these words came out, Lao Wang squinted his eyes and exclaimed: "What kind of business? I have lost so many children and grandchildren, I have to give them an explanation, right?"

I asked him what he wanted, did he want to use me as an explanation? The problem is that you only have twenty or thirty left, and I am such a big person, you can't share it even if you swallow it!

Lao Wang hurriedly said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, no matter how you say that you are also a member of the Jiang family, how can you do this to the old master......

Hehe, that's an interesting title. If there is a new Lord, where will the old Lord be placed?

This sounds like a lot of people taking the taste of tea, but now they have to bow to me because of the situation.

However, I didn't show it clearly, and I controlled my anger, and asked him lightly: "Old Wang, what do you want me to do? I can't jump over such a wide fire pit." ”

As far as I know, after the old master, the Jiang family was a stonemason, so why did they start a fire? I really don't understand, so I invite you to come and have a look. ”

I understood, it turned out that Lao Wang had a lingering thing in his heart, he thought that this fire was caused by them inadvertently activating the magic circle mechanism, that is to say, he thought that the Jiang family could actually arrange a fire mechanism in the magic circle, which was a big surprise to him.

That's why he asked me to come and find out.

I have a clear mirror in my heart, the Jiang family really doesn't play with fire, there is no doubt about it.

I really can't figure out how this fire came down from the top of my head and caused heavy casualties to the rat soldiers, but I knew it must have been a coincidence and not a magic circle.

However, in order to continue to kill Lao Wang's prestige, I neither admit nor deny his statement, so it's better to sing about the empty city plan.

I looked up for a long time, then at the fire pit that had fallen, and then at the group of guys who had exhausted the calculations, and I was really happy, and to be honest, I was a little gloating.

But I can't get too carried away, so I said to Lao Wang: "We can't go forward, can we consider climbing out of the hole above our heads?"
