Looking at the padlocked door, a monk asked tentatively, feeling that there should be a secret hidden behind the door.
Tang Zhen stared at the iron lock, thinking whether to open it.
Perhaps there is a glimmer of hope hidden behind the iron locks, but you need the courage to try.
"Everyone, be prepared. If something goes wrong, attack immediately."
Tang Zhen looked at the monk beside him and reminded him in a deep voice.
"knew."
Upon hearing this instruction, the monks already realized that Tang Zhen wanted to open the iron lock.
They were scattered behind Tang Zhen, looking around vigilantly, wary of any danger.
Tang Zhen walked to the door, took out the strange-shaped key, and inserted it gently.
"Crack!"
There was a crisp sound, and the iron lock had been opened and fell directly to the ground.
As expected, any lock can be opened with this key.
However, after opening the lock, the key will suddenly break and can no longer be used.
Each key can only open one lock.
He stretched out his hand and pushed it gently, and the heavy iron door slowly opened. The room was dark inside, exuding a cold atmosphere.
"Sir, what's in the house?"
A monk asked in a low voice, looking nervously and curiously into the room.
Tang Zhen shook his head. He also couldn't see clearly and couldn't answer at all.
The iron lock has been opened, and you must go in and take a look, even if you take the risk.
The five monks were already eager to give it a try.
"Don't rush in yet. I have something here. You can throw it in first to explore the way."
While Tang Zhen was speaking, he took out a bottle containing the previously prepared explosives.
He took out the fire bomb he had made earlier, lit the fuse of the bomb, and threw it into the house.
"boom!"
A muffled sound was heard, followed by a shrill howl, which shocked the monks.
The room behind this door is indeed dangerous.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Tang Zhen rushed into the house with a bronze oar.
"Quick, let's go in too!"
The five monks came to their senses and rushed in without any hesitation.
When I entered the room, I found that it was not as dark as I thought, or that the darkness had shrunk and dissipated.
Right in front of Tang Zhen, there was a monster lying, and the darkness like ink shrank toward its body like hair.
The darkness that shrouded the house turned out to be part of the monster. If you entered rashly, you would probably be controlled and attacked by the monster.
Fortunately, the monster has been killed and the original hidden danger has been completely eliminated.
"Throw it out, it's better to burn it."
Tang Zhen looked at the layout of the room and said without looking back.
The two monks dragged the monster's body, threw it to another place, and chopped it into pieces with bronze oars.
Throw a fire over and ignite the monster directly, causing billowing smoke to spread out.
"Sir, the monster's body has been disposed of, what next?"
Five monks stood at the door, waiting for Tang Zhen to give orders.
"There is one thing that needs to be done immediately. The faster the better."
Tang Zhen turned his head, looked at the five monks, and said in a light tone.
"No matter what you ask, as long as we can do it, we will do our best."
Because of a previous misunderstanding, the five monks placed their hopes on Tang Zhen, believing that he could help everyone get out of the crisis.
"I want you to go back the way you came, find the barbecue you just encountered, and then bring them into this room.
Remember, no matter what happens, don't pay attention to it, and never eat other food without my request.
If you can do it, take action immediately. The time left for us is getting less and less, and the danger is likely to come soon."
Upon hearing Tang Zhen's request, the five monks immediately turned around and rushed towards the original path like flying.
Regardless of the purpose of Tang Zhen's order, they must execute it immediately.
Since you choose to follow Tang Zhen, you must learn to obey the arrangements. If you resist orders, you will definitely lose the qualification to continue to cooperate.
It was a step-by-step process when we arrived, but it was much faster when we returned. After all, Tang Zhen said that time was tight.
It didn't take long for the monks to come to the place where they met the barbecue.
When they saw that the coals were still burning and the barbecued meats were put back into their original positions, the monks' eyes were filled with vigilance.
The food that suddenly appeared in front of you was indeed not a good thing. If you had eaten it at that time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Without any time to sigh, the five monks rushed forward and grabbed all the roasted meats in their hands.
The moment they picked up the barbecue, they could immediately feel that there seemed to be a pair of eyes peering at them in the darkness.
"Run quickly!"
With a low roar, the five monks holding barbecues turned around and ran away without hesitation.
Just as they were running away, an extremely angry roar came from the dark corner behind them.
A ghost figure, as long and thin as a bamboo pole, ran out of the darkness and chased closely behind the five monks.
Seeing the sudden appearance of the slender ghost, the five monks increased their speed again, fearing that the monster would catch up with them.
It didn't take long for the monks to rush to the front of the house, and then they saw Tang Zhen standing motionless at the door, holding a bronze oar.
"Sir, the food has been obtained, but there are monsters chasing us behind."
Holding the barbecue in his arms, a monk shouted loudly.
"Don't worry about it, come in quickly!"
Tang Zhen had already seen the ghost figure as slender as a bamboo pole behind him, urging the monks to enter the house without changing his expression.
After the five monks entered, Tang Zhen stepped into the room, and then closed the door with a bang.
The metal door bolt fell, and the door was completely sealed, leaving only a small opening through which one could observe the situation outside.
The moment the door closed, there was a sudden muffled sound, followed by an angry howl.
The monster's howl was filled with unwillingness, as if its most precious possession had been snatched away by five monks.
"But after grabbing a bunch of barbecue, why is this monster so angry?"
Hearing the shrill roar outside, the monks looked puzzled and couldn't figure out why the monster was so crazy.
Maybe that pile of barbecue is not as simple as imagined and is very important to the monster?
Tang Zhen stood guard at the door and allowed the monster to knock on the door crazily, but there was still no response.
After ringing for about three minutes, the knocking suddenly disappeared, and the door became deathly silent.
The five monks were silent and looked at Tang Zhen quietly.
"The reason why I asked you to retrieve the barbecued meat is so that you can use these barbecued meats to sustain your life when the situation is desperate.
Even if you eat it, there may be hidden dangers, but you have to bear the risk."
The five monks nodded slightly. Even if Tang Zhen didn't say anything, they had already guessed something.
Tang Zhen's intention was obvious. After eliminating the monsters, he could wait slowly in this room.
Once the remaining food is consumed, these barbecued meats will become backup food. As long as you want to survive, you must eat these questionable things.
If you make it to your destination alive, that is considered a victory.
As for the life and death of other monks, when they choose to act separately, it has nothing to do with them.
