"Boom -" At this moment, a dull sound suddenly came. Xia Xue and Zhou Yang turned around alertly and saw a follower accidentally pushing open a door in the secret passage on the right...
Xia Xue and Zhou Yang rushed in ecstatically, only to find that there was still a secret passage inside that was the same as the outside. This secret passage was eerie and strange, revealing a strong smell of blood, and a bone-chilling cold wind seeped out from the depths of the secret passage.
Come on, drill it on your body, it's creepy.
However, despite this, Zhou Yang still stepped in without hesitation.
"Master, be careful of fraud." The attendant reminded softly from behind.
"Even if it's a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, I will break into it and rescue Yang'er." Zhou Yang walked forward without looking back. After taking two steps, he turned back and stared at Xia Xue coldly, "Why don't you come in quickly? Even if you don't.
You help me find this secret passage, but it won't be considered a success until I see Yang'er."
"I will accompany you in, but... you have to be mentally prepared, because..." Xia Xue looked at Zhou Yang complicatedly, with a trace of melancholy in her amber eyes, and her lips moved, but she still
She swallowed the rest of the words without speaking out. She could probably guess Zhou Yang's fate. Even if he found it, maybe... it was just a corpse.
"I know what you want to say, but I believe it won't happen. I am loyal to my lord and he will not treat me like this." Zhou Yang was a little excited, with veins popping out on his forehead and his hands shaking slightly.
Xia Xue lowered her eyes and said nothing more, but stepped straight into the secret passage. But as soon as her right foot landed, Hong Wen grabbed her arm, waved her hand in panic, shook her head, and mumbled.
He was saying something, his bloodshot eyes full of fear.
"Hong Wen, you already knew this place, right? You didn't tell me because you knew it was dangerous here and you didn't want me to take risks, right?" Xia Xue frowned and looked at Hong Wen deeply.
"Uh-huh." Hong Wen kept nodding, his face full of sorrow, and he grabbed Zhou Yang's arm again, trying to express something, but Zhou Yang couldn't listen at all. He threw Hong Wen away angrily and pulled Xia
Xue's arm said fiercely, "There are still twenty minutes left before one hour. If you can't help me find Yang'er, I will definitely let you die miserably."
"I understand, let's go." Xia Xue frowned and stared at Zhou Yang's hand, "Please let go, it hurts."
"It's good that you know." Zhou Yang gave Xia Xue a warning look, and then said to the followers, "Why don't you come in quickly?"
"Yes, Master." The followers looked hesitant, but under the threat of Zhou Yang, they still walked into the secret passage.
A group of people walked in the secret passage. It was no different from the secret passage outside, but the atmosphere was quite strange. Everyone held their breath and concentrated on being on full alert, for fear of being attacked accidentally.
When they reached the end of the secret passage, everyone was dumbfounded. There were actually five identical forks in front of them, and no one knew where to go.
"Come here." Zhou Yang pulled Hong Wen over, approached his face fiercely, and asked sharply, "Which one to choose?"
"Ahhh..." Hong Wen shook his head in panic and kept waving his hands.
"Are you going to tell me? If you don't tell me, I'll kill you." Zhou Yang pressed Hong Wen against the wall and pinched his neck harshly.
"Don't push him, he won't know." Xia Xue pulled away from Zhou Yang and said calmly, "Calm down a little. Think about it, how could Long Xiao let a test subject know the route of the secret passage? I guess
Hong Wen wasn't locked in a secret room before, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to escape and even come to the palace to look for us."
Zhou Yang slowly let go of his hand and said in frustration: "Hong Wen's physical condition is too poor. My lord did a second experiment on him, but he couldn't bear it and almost died. He was a very failed experiment. So my lord gave up."
He was doing experiments, and if he hadn't thought that he had certain abilities in scientific research, I would have killed him long ago. Because the research institute is short of manpower recently, the master asked Hong Wen to help in the research institute."
"So, Hong Wen has only stayed here before, and he is not familiar with these routes." Xia Xue looked at Hong Wen sympathetically.
"Stop talking nonsense, take a look, which one should you choose?" Zhou Yang asked anxiously.
"Now I can't analyze which road is correct. I can only choose one and walk around. As long as you remember the route, you won't get lost. But everyone must be careful, there may be traps here." Xia Xue finished.
Walking straight towards the middle road, Zhou Yang and the others followed immediately.
The group of people went around more than twenty times, and each time they faced more and more crossroads. This secret passage was like a maze, and they couldn't reach the end no matter how they walked around. Soon, twenty minutes were almost gone.
As time passed, Zhou Yang became more and more uneasy and his temper became more and more irritable. Whenever he thought about Zhou Yang's possible death, he wanted to go crazy.
"What's going on? There are still five minutes. If you can't find Yang'er in five minutes, I will kill you right away." Zhou Yang grabbed Xia Xue's collar and roared like thunder.
"It won't help if you get angry. It's better to calm down and help think of a solution."
Xia Xue was also in a very irritable mood. On one hand, she had to try her best to figure out a way to solve the maze, and on the other hand, she had to deal with Zhou Yang's threat. She felt a lot of pressure.
"Find a way? You promised me that you would help me find Yang'er, and now you ask me to find a way? Don't tell me that you no longer have the ability to find Yang'er? I will kill you now——"
Zhou Yang roared, pushed Xia Xue to the wall, and swung his right palm fiercely, and was about to attack him. Xia Xue opened her eyes in fear. At this moment, she accidentally saw a huge watermark on the ceiling.
pattern, she immediately shouted: "I have an idea."
Zhou Yang's hand stopped, his eyebrows furrowed, and he said sharply: "Don't play tricks on me. If you don't find Yang'er in five minutes, I will kill you immediately."
"I really thought of a way, look." Xia Xue pointed to the ceiling excitedly and said excitedly, "We are now in a secret passage at the bottom of the Yuting River. There is water above the secret passage, and the water reflects the maze like a mirror.
Map, as long as we look according to this map, we can find Zhou Yang immediately."
Zhou Yang and his followers looked up at the ceiling. Sure enough, the clear and bright watermark clearly reflected the map of the maze. Everyone was very excited and felt that they had found a way out.
"Let's go quickly, while the Lord is still attending the trial in the Hall of Law." Zhou Yang said eagerly, "Lead the way, hurry up."
"Okay." Xia Xue skillfully shuttled between the mazes according to the map on the ceiling. The group of people ran quickly behind her. Soon, they found the real entrance to the secret room.
Zhou Yang couldn't wait to push open the secret room door, but was stunned by the scene in front of him...
