Jin Shang, who was secretly following, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and keenly stopped the people around him, looking at the puzzled eyes cast by his subordinates, he suddenly thought of the investigation about Xia Yanru, it was a girl whose hearing was unusual to ordinary people, although it was not clear how far her hearing range was, but they were likely to have been discovered.

Without explaining anything to his subordinates, Jin Shang just gestured to retreat, and at the same time was glad that they didn't have any verbal communication except for following along the way, and maybe the other party wasn't sure who was secretly following.

However, Jin Shang was obviously overwhelmed, Xia Yanru was not really hearing abnormal, but she found out from the clues that someone might be following, but it was not yet possible to determine the number of people who were being followed and the origin.

"Miss Xia?" After a long time, seeing that Xia Yanru was still frowning and didn't take any action, Qi Juan couldn't help but shout out a little strangely.

"It's okay." Xia Yanru waved her hand, and just probed again, it seemed that the anomaly she had discovered before was gone again, I don't know if she suspected it was wrong from the beginning, or because of her actions to let the other party know that she had found out that she was being followed.

"Huh?" Qi Juan looked at it puzzled, and didn't understand what this sentence was referring to.

"The person who followed it should be gone." Xia Yanru replied lightly.

Qi judged it, and didn't doubt it, and reflexively went to a nearby place to check it very seriously, he knew that Xia Yanru was very capable, and he had also heard that this Xia girl had a very unusual sense of hearing, so from the time Xia Yanru first gave him a hint in his eyes, he was convinced that Xia Yanru must have heard something.

A crisis that I don't know if it's true or false is temporarily lifted, Xia Yanru once again took Qi Ju and the three of them to continue walking towards the direction of the forbidden land, and saw a lot of marks left by their predecessors along the way, thinking that most of them were left by those archaeological teams, after all, if they were tomb visitors, they should not dare to leave these marks so openly.

The stone temple in the forbidden place is still the same, but it seems to have suffered a serious damage, the entrance has collapsed, and through the gap, it is not difficult to see that the stone statues are scattered everywhere.

Xia Yanru couldn't help but sigh with emotion, a little puzzled why this place was not protected by the archaeological team, could it be that something bad happened during this period?

It's no wonder that Xia Yanru has this guess, but this scene doesn't look like it happened accidentally, but now is not the time to explore the beginning and the end, she has to think carefully about where the map may be hidden.

The letter said that as long as she came, she could think of it, Xia Yanru was a little puzzled and began to guess desperately what the place would be, but after thinking about it, she still felt clueless, there were too many places in her mind that could be thought of, but there was no place that seemed to be able to hide things.

Seeing the time pass minute by minute, Xia Yanru was also a little anxious, closed her eyes depressedly, and looked around again, but there was still nothing that could arouse her impulse to explore.

"Miss Xia, do we want to go in and have a look?" After Qi Juan came, he showed his curiosity about the stone temple, but because Xia Yanru had been looking outside and didn't seem to have any intention of going in, he didn't propose at first, but as time went on, he couldn't help but make a proposal.

"Huh?" Xia Yanru turned her head to look at the stone temple, suddenly patted her head, and her eyes instantly met those scattered stone statues, "Go in!" ”

I don't know what Xia Yanru suddenly thought of at this time, Qi Juan didn't ask much, but seeing that Xia Yanru agreed to enter the stone temple, he was also very happy that his proposal was accepted.

Waiting until the group finally cleared out a passage, in order to prevent danger, Qi Juan went in to investigate first, but fortunately, although the stone temple was broken, it was still strong, and there would be no sudden collapse.

"This place looks like it's been bombed." Qi Juan analyzed the reason why the stone temple was broken like this while exploring.

Xia Yanru didn't answer, these traces did look like someone had blown up with gunpowder, but she couldn't figure out who would be so boring to blow up an already dilapidated stone temple like this, it couldn't be because there was an entrance to the underground palace here?

But if it is to protect the entrance of the dungeon, it is not right, because they touched the mechanism, the entrance here is already abandoned, unless it is violently exploded, but for the archaeological team, they must not want to cause too much human damage to the dungeon.

Then the only explanation can only be someone other than the archaeological team, and this person is most likely Tang Yulou, as for why he did this, there are many reasons, but one of them is likely to be related to that map.

In this complicated thought, Xia Yanru quickly locked on to the target, she had thought about a lot of places that might be hiding the map, but only this was something she hadn't thought of before, but because she ignored this place, it became the most likely.

When they first came to the stone temple, they were looking for the mechanism to open the entrance to the underground palace, Xia Yanru remembered that when she saw the stone statue of the Red Eye King, she still had many doubts, until Tu Hongxing explained her doubts later, telling her that for the Flame Worship Clan, the Red Eye King was never a god they worshipped, which explained why the mechanism was set on the head.

And at the moment, the place where Xia Yanru guessed the hidden map was the head of the red-eyed king, there were many reasons, Xia Yanru felt that it was very possible, and now she just had to confirm her guess.

Obviously, Xia Yanru's bold guess was not wrong, and when she pulled out a box from the stone statue's skull in surprise, all her guesses were confirmed.

It's just that at this time, the mutation broke suddenly, and a few sound of breaking the air sounded, and it was also Xia Yanru and a few people who were not successfully attacked by the sneak attack, and those short arrows were shot off one after another.

"Hemp, sure enough, someone has been following us." Qi Ju was angry, not only against the person who attacked him, but also for his own negligence.

"Be careful to dodge." Xia Yanru was a little puzzled why there was no more lethal gun on the other side, but this was not the time to be curious, she looked sideways and looked around, calculating the escape route.

When she's unsure of the enemy's numbers, hard fighting is never her first choice, and if she has the opportunity to get out safely, she will naturally choose to avoid it.

However, compared to Xia Yanru's retreat strategy, Qi Juan was more inclined to fight hard, not to mention that he saw that the weapon used by the other party was a bow and crossbow, and he felt that his side had a chance of winning, although there were only four of them, but except for Xia Yanru, they all had more than one gun in their hands.

As if seeing Qi Ju's thoughts, Xia Yanru could only explain, "Hard work will only waste time, and the most important thing is to go back safely with things." ”

"I see." Qi Juan also reacted, he saw the wooden box that Xia Yanru took out from the head of a stone statue just now, so he also knew that compared to fighting with the other party, it must be a muffled fortune, in case of an accident and something was snatched away, he should apologize for his crimes.
