Heaven and Earth Changes and Chaos Birth Chapter Thirty-Four
It turned out that when they were chasing Lin Rou and Ling Guofeng, Lin Rou and Ling Guofeng were running under the cliff. However, because it was too dark, Xu Bandu, who was at a high place, could not see clearly the thorn forest below.
Xu Jianxin thought they were ordinary flowers and plants, and since he had practiced kung fu, he would be fine if he jumped from such a height.
But he never expected that there would be a patch of thorns below!
Moreover, the place was still a pothole, which was equivalent to jumping from a higher place. No wonder he broke his arms and legs.
"Let's keep moving forward! Everyone must be vigilant and always guard their surroundings to avoid sudden attacks." Shen Lun said to everyone.
Everyone nodded, took out their weapons and looked around nervously, acting defensively like a rabbit.
Among the group of people, Shen Lun was the most skilled in martial arts, so Shen Lun walked at the front to explore the way. Feng Hong, who was considered powerful among the crowd with a ghost, volunteered to go to the back to be responsible for cutting off the rear.
"Is there any danger ahead?" Kongyin asked softly next to Fenghong's ear.
"Don't worry, you have magic, and Yin Yao can also use magic. If there is any danger, you two must protect everyone. They both only know ordinary martial arts!" Fenghong said softly. Although this place is weird, she has time by her side.
She was not afraid of anything, Yin He Yin Yao, and felt inexplicably at ease.
The group of people walked to the corner ahead, and Shen Lun carefully explored the way forward with his sword in hand.
Fortunately, there were no dangers or traps. After turning the corner, everyone felt relieved and slowly saw clearly that there was another door in front of them.
Shen Lun stepped forward and saw three big characters "Treasure Hunting Ground" written on the door.
"Are you asking us to come here to hunt for treasure?"
"What kind of treasure could it be inside?"
“Is there any danger in treasure hunting?”
"How many treasures are there in total? Do we have enough for so many of us?"
Everyone was talking a lot, wondering what was going on?
"Sister Lin, let me tell you why my eyelids have been twitching these past two days. It turns out we can get some treasures today!" Ling Guofeng's eyes were shining with excitement.
"Stop dreaming! How did you know you would get the treasure? This place is so evil, just be thankful to be alive!"
Lin Rou struck mercilessly.
"Why? It clearly says treasure hunting ground!" Ling Guofeng was a little embarrassed.
"Is there really a treasure you can give us?" Lin Rou rolled her eyes: "Stop daydreaming!"
Ling Guofeng shut up angrily and stayed aside not wanting to speak.
"Master, will there really be a treasure?" Kongyin asked Fenghong curiously.
"I don't know, even if there is, we don't want it!"
I have absolutely no interest in Maple Red such as treasures.
Shen Lun looked at everyone and murmured, he didn't know what was going on, what should he do?
But judging from the current situation, it seems that they can only go forward. The purpose of leading them here is to let them go to some kind of "treasure hunt ground". There is no way out from now on, they can only continue to move forward to see what happens.
"I think we all should move forward to see what's going on. There is no way out now!" Shen Lun looked at everyone. Everyone had different expressions. Some people must have thought this was a good opportunity to hunt for treasure, while others thought it was a good opportunity to hunt for treasure.
I think this is some kind of conspiracy to lure them to death!
Shen Lun continued: "We all just need to be careful!"
"What are we afraid of? There are so many of us!" Li Tianlong shouted loudly.
Jijia and his party looked troubled.
"Did we accidentally enter the cave of the gods and make the gods unhappy? I think we should kneel down and pray for forgiveness from the gods!" Jijia was worried and asked everyone to kneel down with him.
Guna also stood up and persuaded everyone.
"I think this 'treasure hunt' is the test of the gods. If we cannot stand the test and let the gods be extremely disappointed in us, then we will definitely be punished by the gods. On the contrary, if we withstand the test, we will not enter anything."
The gods in the 'Treasure Hunting Ground' may forgive us! And then give us a way to survive."
Regarding their words, everyone finally shook their heads after thinking for a short time.
"How can the gods be so weird?"
"I think this is the assessment of us by those two gods!"
"We didn't do anything, how could we offend any gods?"
"The gods don't live in a place like this, right?"
"I think it's some kind of ghost that's causing trouble. We need to boldly go in and see what the heck he's up to?"
"...."
Just when everyone was expressing their opinions, Li Tianlong quietly whispered to Xu Jianxiong again.
Shen Lun glanced at Li Tianlong and smiled softly, thinking that this kind of rubbish was really unnecessary. Not only did he have to guard against ghosts, but he also had to guard against villains.
"Let's leave quickly, otherwise we will delay our journey to Changye." Shen Lun breathed a sigh of relief, "No matter what lies ahead, I believe that as long as we work together we can overcome this hurdle and solve the mystery. We must have confidence
.”
The others thought for a moment and nodded.
Shen Lun took the lead and walked to the door and pushed it. He found that the door still couldn't be pushed open. He didn't know what the mystery was.
At this time, several people came over and planned to help Shen Lun push the door open, but the door suddenly opened by itself.
Everyone looked inside and saw that it was an independent space that was not too big. It was composed of four stone walls and the floor was also made of stone. It looked like it had a long history.
But it was empty, with nothing.
Everyone still walked in doubtfully, wanting to see if they could find any useful clues inside.
As soon as everyone walked in, they heard a "bang" and the door was immediately closed again.
Just when everyone was confused, there was another "buzz" sound. Everyone looked around and saw a hidden compartment on one wall, which was opened and displayed in front of everyone. Inside was a parchment scroll.
Li Tianlong's eyes shone, thinking it was a treasure, and immediately gave Li Tianlong and Xu Jianxiong a wink.
Xu Jianxiong understood immediately, ran over and hugged the parchment tightly in his arms, and then gave it to Li Tianlong.
"Master Li is very fast, Mr. Shen admires him!" Shen Lun raised his fist in salute, but his tone was full of ridicule.
Li Tianlong smiled softly: "Master Shen is just kidding. Whoever gets the treasure here belongs to him. You don't want to rob it, do you?"
"Huh, who cares to snatch it from you? I think that parchment is an important clue. Without it, how can we solve these mysteries?" Shen Lun snorted, feeling helpless.
"What is this? What 'rules'?" Li Tianlong opened the parchment and found that it was just some words, not a treasure map or anything like that. He threw the parchment to Shen Lun indifferently: "Here you go,
Don’t you want it?”
Shen Lun picked it up and took a look. The handwriting on it was a bit old, and many of the words were not in use today, but the general meaning could still be understood.
The general meaning is that this is a treasure hunt rule: in the first level, everyone needs to kill a person and use his blood and head to honor the gods here, in order to open the door to the next level, otherwise everyone will be trapped here.
, until death!
After Shen Lun read out the rules, everyone gasped.
I thought it was just a simple search for treasures, but at most I would find nothing. Now it seems that someone must pay the price with their life, otherwise they will die together.
Everyone's faces were filled with panic.
Li Tianlong snorted coldly and said: "There are more than twenty and nearly thirty of us here. Isn't it easy to kill one person?"
Lin Rou stepped forward and said, "How about - kill you?"
"Can you kill me?"
"There are so many of us, and you think we can't kill you?" Lin Rou glared at Li Tianlong, then retreated into the crowd with a look of disgust on her face, not wanting to talk to him anymore.
"Let's see if there is any other way! What is said here may not be correct." Shen Lun said to everyone calmly.
Shen Lun is also helpless. He can only try to see if there is any other way. If there is no other way, he can't do it even if he agrees to kill someone. Everyone's life is equally precious. Who is willing to sacrifice himself?
Woolen cloth?
Everyone began to search carefully against the wall, from every crack in the wall tiles to every crack in the floor tiles, for fear of missing or missing any useful clues.
"Will we find a way?" Kongyin asked Fenghong.
"I don't know." Fenghong shook her head.
"Are we really going to kill someone?"
"Oh, I don't know." Fenghong still shook her head.
It was the first time Fenghong encountered this situation, and she didn't know what to do. In this situation, she would rather die to exchange the lives of others.
"Hongyi's whereabouts are still unknown. We don't know whether she is alive or dead. What should we do?" Guna asked softly, looking at Jijia who was anxiously looking for clues.
"Let's take it one step at a time. If someone wants to kill someone later, we must protect our own people, and - Lin Rou, no one among us must die again," Jijia said seriously.
.
"Yes, Second Prince!"
After a lot of searching, everyone found nothing, no clues, and many people gave up searching.
"Stop looking!" Li Tianlong roared, and everyone stopped, "Why don't we just kill one person? Let's just find the one with the lowest status and kill him."
A few people with low status looked frightened. These people were servants and beggars.
They were of low status and did not dare to say anything. They just looked at everyone in fear.
There was only one beggar with a disdainful look on his face.
"How can this be done? The life of a low-status person is not life." Shen Lun used his eyes to signal those people not to be nervous, "If one of us has to be sacrificed, then I mean we can draw lots."
Everyone looked at each other, and those with lower status thought it was good, because it was fair to them; those with higher status shook their heads, thinking that the person who wanted to die could not choose among them.
"No! I don't agree. What I mean is that we have a public vote. As long as everyone wants one of them to die, then he must die!" Li Tianlong sneered.
The others looked at each other and didn't know what to do. They couldn't make up their minds for a moment. They always felt that no matter which one they chose, they might be killed.
"I willingly sacrifice myself!"
Everyone turned around in shock and found that it was Fenghong who spoke.
"No, Master, what should I do if you die?" Kongyin flew around anxiously. She couldn't understand why Fenghong had to sacrifice herself, even though she was not familiar with those people.
