As soon as the fire was extinguished, the darkness came over like a wind and the remaining clouds, and Ji Zi angrily let out a muffled beast-like roar. There was deathly silence in the void, and in a daze, there seemed to be a rustling sound coming from below, which was like the sound of a big snake crawling in a deep pool.
.
Zhai Liaoyu snorted and shouted: "Be careful where you step!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Minghong Sword in Li Luo's hand lit up, and a layer of red light covered three feet around his body. Li Luo shouted in a low voice: "There is no sound, calm down."
"There's no way forward, no way back, why..." Ji Zi shouted angrily, but before she could finish her words, the stone door suddenly moved. Ji Zi angrily stopped talking and stared at the stone door.
Everyone fell silent, and the heroes who had dominated the scene in the past were now looking forward to even a glimmer of light coming out of the stone door.
Under everyone's expectation, the stone door moved slowly but without pause, and the dim firelight in the secret passage reappeared in front of everyone's eyes, one after the other, as if they were in another world.
Miss Gusu stood quietly on the other side of the stone gate, a little surprised, as if she didn't expect Li Luo to still have such a calm expression at this time.
"Miss Gusu, is the agency broken?" Rangsi Hanshan asked anxiously.
"It's broken." Miss Gusu turned slightly and motioned for everyone to come in. At this moment, Rangsi Hanshan had calmed down, glanced at Li Luo, and sighed with self-deprecation: "There are no empty warriors under the great reputation, Xuanlou, I am not as good as you."
Li Luo smiled softly and said: "Brother Hanshan is serious, let's go in. The big snake in the pool is always a hidden danger. Don't let it take the opportunity to escape into the secret passage."
Rang Si Hanshan nodded, and softly called Rang Si Kui and the others to enter the secret passage first. Finally, he and Li Luo jumped into the secret passage. Miss Gu Su put down the trap and the stone door slowly closed.
The eight people stood in the secret passage, not knowing what to say for a moment. Rangsi Hanshan wanted to thank Miss Gusu, but just now he was suspicious of Miss Gusu. His face was quite embarrassed, he moved his lips and sighed.
His tone was dejected and speechless.
Li Luo and Yan Yixiao, no matter what, they are both temperamental people. Now they feel guilty. It is difficult to say these clichés, and they can only turn into a sigh.
But what surprised Li Luo was the words spoken by Ran Sikui just now. If he heard the words correctly, it must have been Xiang Liuer's instruction. This woman was probably not just the maid of Ran Sikui.
When fighting the big snake in the pond just now, Rangsi Hanshan asked Ji Zi Nu to sacrifice himself to protect the two of them.
As a bodyguard of the Guya royal family, Ji Zinu should not have left Rangsi Hanshan in danger, but unexpectedly walked away without hesitation. Could it be that protecting Rangsikui is a lie, while protecting Prime Minister Liu'er is true.
If this is the case, the identity of this taciturn Xiang Liuer is very fishy.
"Thank you very much." Li Luo broke the deadlock and gestured harmoniously to Miss Gusu.
"Thank you." Miss Gusu replied inexplicably.
The two of them responded with each other, which was extremely abrupt. Several people in the secret passage were confused. They didn't know why Miss Gusu wanted to thank Li Luo.
"How long does it take to unlock this mechanism?" Zhai Liaoyu asked in surprise.
"How long? It's only a moment."
"A moment? No way." Several people looked at each other in astonishment. When they were outside the stone gate, it felt like several hours had passed.
"There is no sun or moon in the mountains, and it's even worse here. Maybe a moment inside the door is several hours outside the door." Li Luo said with a smile.
Miss Gusu looked at Li Luo with a half-smile, and said indifferently: "The mechanism is temporarily unlocked. As long as you don't slam into the rock walls, the mechanism of the Broken Dragon Stone will not fall down."
Everyone's anxious hearts were relieved. The Dragon-Breaking Stone was right above the eight people's heads. They could touch it if they stood on tiptoe. If it fell, the consequences would be disastrous. Several people involuntarily wiped cold sweat and looked at each other.
They were stunned and laughed a little.
Li Luo looked at Miss Gusu quietly and asked calmly: "What do you mean?"
"My subordinates want fame."
"Okay, I promise you, but there is one thing. I regard you as a leader in the army. If you take advantage of the situation to mess with the law, I still can't tolerate you."
"Okay, I'll keep this in mind," Miss Gusu responded lightly.
Only then did everyone realize that what seemed to be just a closing of the stone gate was actually a confrontation between Li Luo and Gusu Xiaoniang, and these two words of thanks probably had other intentions. As for what they were, they didn't know at this moment.
No time to speculate.
As they spoke, the eight people left the Broken Dragon Stone and looked back, unconsciously feeling scared. However, they were all heroes that ordinary people could not match. Their shock disappeared in a flash, and they returned to normal.
Rang Sikui walked to Miss Gusu and asked softly: "Miss Gusu, was the Qiqiao chain you mentioned already cracked by you when you opened the stone door?"
Miss Gusu smiled lightly, glanced at Li Luo who seemed unaware, and responded calmly: "Anyway, the Qiqiao chain is now solved, what does Princess Kui think?"
Rang Sikui was stunned for a moment, smiled slightly, and stopped asking any more questions, feeling even more wary of Li Luo and Mu Tianlang.
The secret passage is very long, and there is a torch several feet away. The fire is not strong, and it looks a bit shaky.
Perhaps it was because of the big snake in the deep pool outside the stone gate that after walking for so long, I didn’t see anyone in the tomb deliberately guarding it.
Everyone walked along the rugged stone steps at their feet towards the heart of the mountain. Although there were traces of axe-cutting on the secret passage, it was obvious that it relied on the original cracks in the mountain. Otherwise, it would not be known how long it would take to carve out such a long passage out of thin air.
How many years and months is it?
Li Luo walked unhappily. As he walked, he looked at the rough carvings on the cave walls on both sides of the secret passage. The meaning was unclear and hard to understand, and he didn't know what was going on.
The secret passage is very long, extending downwards to the lower part of the mountain in seven twists and turns.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Li Yuanxi, who was exploring the way, suddenly leaned down and stared coldly at the front of the secret passage.
When everyone saw this, they knew something had changed ahead, so they dispersed slightly and surrounded behind Li Yuanxi.
Li Luo got angry and walked over. Li Yuanxi made a gesture of silence. Li Luo looked quietly and saw a stone gate not far away. Standing on one side of the stone gate was a man with a strange behavior. He was naked and had a face.
There are strange patterns painted on it, and its true appearance cannot be seen clearly.
Li Yuanxi looked back at Li Luo and asked softly whether he wanted to capture him alive or attack him.
At this moment, Li Luo could not tolerate mercy and signaled Li Yuanxi to kill this person.
Li Yuanxi nodded and floated out. Looking from behind, Li Yuanxi looked like a piece of rock floating on the rock wall. If you didn't distinguish it carefully, you could hardly tell that this was a living person.
Kuo Death Guard's assassination and ambush techniques are indeed extraordinary.
The grouper formed by Li Yuanxi floated behind the guard. Without any movement, the guard fell limply to the ground.
Li Yuanxi reached out and took off the guard's body, hiding it in a low and secret place in the secret passage, and the matter was over in a matter of seconds.
