Chapter 63: The Key

He Zheng leaned over and picked up a few pieces of gravel, sandwiched them between his fingers, and with a wave of his hand, the stones shot towards the stone wall, hitting the wall and the ground, making a few soft "pops".

The fireworks on the torches swayed, and in the empty cavern, there was a sudden sound of breaking wind.

"Lean over!"

He Zheng snorted lightly, and He Lingjiang and Qi Kuo behind him also immediately squatted down.

More than a dozen sharp arrows passed over their heads, narrowly grazing.

There is a trap!

He Lingjiang's eyes narrowed, it seems that there is really something hidden in this place.

They slowed down, cautiously tentatively moving forward.

I don't know where it was alarmed, but I heard a loud sound, and dense black beetles poured out of the dark corners and crawled towards them from all directions.

He Lingjiang and the others hurriedly retreated to one place, and the three of them stood opposite to each other, looking at these insects vigilantly.

After arriving in Nanzhao, they really saw a lot of worms.

Although this black beetle doesn't know what it is, since it can be in the same room with the giant python, it is safe, and it is not easy to get along with it.

The sharp teeth and heavy carapace all show that it is difficult to deal with.

He Ling Jiang secretly celebrated that she had prepared enough talismans this time, and as soon as she moved her hand, she threw out two talismans from her sleeve.

When the talisman met the black beetle, it burst into flames and swept away towards the beetle swarm with the momentum of a prairie fire.

Everywhere the faint flames passed, only a crackling and scorching sound could be heard.

However, the beetle was undaunted, and continued to crawl towards the three people in the center.

With a slight movement of his hand, he drew a ring of fire on the ground centered on the place where the three of them were standing, isolating the beetles.

The beetle that rushed into the ring of fire crackled and made a scorched sound.

It's just that this beetle came from all directions, and it didn't just stop its feet.

He Lingjiang looked up, and saw that the stone wall above his head was also crawling with layers of beetles, and he was about to fall on several of them.

She immediately turned her left hand behind her back, took out a large umbrella and opened it, and threw out two talismans with her right hand and imprinted them on the surface of the umbrella.

The big umbrella rotated slightly, and it circled around the three of them, and tightly wrapped them under the umbrella.

He Lingjiang held the handle of the umbrella in his hand, flicked his sleeves, and waved away the overlapping beetle corpse in front of him.

"Keep going!"

"I'm blocking the above, and I'm going to clear the debut. Qi Kuo, you are responsible for the beetles that come from the side, He Zheng, you help Qi Kuo. ”

Qi Kuo nodded with He Zheng: "Okay!" ”

The three of them also moved forward slowly in a posture opposite each other.

There were so many black beetles that even if they attacked them all the way, they couldn't burn them all at once.

Fortunately, the beetle's range of movement seemed to be limited, and when they walked about seven or eight feet away and crossed a stone staircase in the cavern, none of the black beetles came forward.

He Ling Jiang was surprised, it seems that here, there should be a ban on those beetles, and the range of their activities is only that distance.

But even this paragraph is enough to scare off countless people who want to go into the cave, and even more so to kill them.

Walking up the stone stairs, you will find a bare stone wall, and it seems that the cave has come to an end.

He Ling Jiang frowned and stepped forward to look at the stone wall.

Carefully carved out a cave chamber is not always for the sake of raising a python or beetle, right?

Behind the stone wall, will there be another world?

Sure enough, after careful exploration, the three of them found a stone gate on the stone wall that almost blended into the surrounding stone wall.

The ruler stepped forward and pushed the stone door, but the stone door did not move.

"According to what the book says, there must be a mechanism here that can open the stone door."

He straightened up, and paced around the stone gate to see if there was a place where he could press it and open it.

However, before he could bend down to take a closer look, he heard a "click" sound, and the heavy stone door shook slightly.

The stone gate seems to be open!

Qi Kuo was stunned and looked at He Lingjiang: "Where did you find the mechanism?" How did you ...... so fast?"

He Lingjiang looked at the bronze talisman in his hand, and said lightly: "I don't know if there is a mechanism or not, but this one in my hand seems to be the key to open this stone door......"

Qi Kuo stepped forward and saw that the bronze talisman in her hand was in the shape of a carp, the head of the fish was now held in the palm of He Lingjiang's palm, and the tail of the fish was trapped in a groove on the stone door.

His eyes widened in disbelief, and he pointed to the bronze talisman, "This is actually the key?" ”

He Lingjiang shrugged: "I didn't expect ...... either"

When she looked at the stone door, she saw that it was like the surrounding stone wall, uneven, but in the center, there was a dentation, which seemed to have some traces of artificial carving.

If you look closely, you can see that the shape of the grooves is somewhat similar to a fish's tail.

The shape of the bronze talisman in her arms was suddenly reflected in her mind.

He Lingjiang took it out and tried it, but she didn't expect it to be stuck in the groove, and with a slight twist of her hand, the stone door made a sound.

"Open it and take a look!" Qi Kuo couldn't help urging.

He Lingjiang nodded, and his subordinates rotated the bronze talisman vigorously, the stone door moved slightly, and the dust on the top of the stone wall cave was also shaken down.

She was sure in her heart, and turned the bronze talisman to the end, and the stone door made a deep "click" sound.

He Ling Jiang immediately pulled out the fish talisman.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the heavy stone door, slowly retracting upward, revealing a gap in the ground!

It's on!

The ruler's eyes lit up.

He looked down at the bottom of the stone door and saw that it should have been firmly stuck in the rocks underground.

If it weren't for that key, relying on brute force alone, this one-foot-thick stone door would have been opened.

As the stone gate slowly rose, a gap was finally revealed that could be passed.

Qi Kuo was about to bend over, but He Lingjiang stretched out his hand and pulled it.

He looked over in confusion: "What's the matter?" ”

He Lingjiang sighed, the experience of this Yellow Father Ghost in the world is really not rich.

"Aren't you afraid that the stone gate will fall suddenly? At that time, with the strength of you and me, we may not be able to lift this stone gate that weighs more than a thousand pounds. ”

If it was a closed space inside, as soon as the stone door fell, they would be trapped inside.

It's just that the ruler is a yellow father ghost, and there is no way to get out.

Qi Kuo understood: "That's right. ”

He looked around, and saw that in the corner of the stone wall, there was a large stone about a foot high and half a foot square.

"Come and help me move this stone over there, you can stop it at the stone gate."

When He Zheng heard this, he stepped forward and worked hard with him, leaning over to move the big stone over.

Just as he was, his feet suddenly softened and he stepped on something.

He Zheng looked down and saw that it was a snake molt!

The black lines on it are fine, and at a glance, you can see that it was left by the giant python at the entrance of the cave.
