In the dark and deep underground palace, he held tightly a huge night-shining pearl, secretly rejoicing in his heart: "There are so many, such big night-shining pearls, I almost missed it. If I take them out and give them to Shuang'er, she will definitely be very happy." A gentle smile appeared on his face, as if he had already seen the surprised and happy expression of Shuang'er when she received the gift.
He pushed his feet hard, and his body flew up into the air lightly and swiftly like a gecko, clinging to the wall tightly. His fingers groped nimbly on the stone wall, picking up the night-shining pearls one by one. With each one he picked up, he felt more satisfied. Finally, he walked out with big strides, holding the most dazzling night-shining pearl in his hand, his eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation.
This experience was really a blessing in disguise for him. Not only did he get the inheritance of the Array Immortal, but he also contracted a powerful black dragon. In comparison, these night pearls seemed insignificant. But his heart was still filled with joy, because this was a special gift he could give to Shuang'er.
At the same time, in another long corridor, a group of people were slowly exploring with torches. They were ragged, with scars and blood all over their bodies, but their eyes were full of determination and persistence. Although they were exhausted, they still refused to give up, and moved forward in a team, looking for a possible way out and treasure.
Previously, they encountered two ferocious puppet beasts and suffered heavy casualties. However, the survivors obtained countless secret books and spiritual skills from the puppet beasts' nests, which made them taste the sweetness. Who would be willing to retreat at this time? They all knew that as long as they persisted, they might be able to find more treasures and opportunities.
However, the darkness in the corridor was waiting for them like the mouth of a giant beast. They held torches, but the light was limited and they could only see a short distance ahead. This made them feel uneasy and alert.
"Did anyone hear any strange noises?" Suddenly, someone asked the man next to him in a low voice. Their pace was already very slow, and now it stopped. The man stared at the darkness ahead with vigilant eyes, as if trying to catch a trace of abnormal breath from the darkness.
"Isn't that our footsteps?" The people around him laughed strangely and looked at him with contempt, not taking his words to heart. They thought it was just that person's illusion.
"Are you afraid to move forward?" Another person looked at him with disdain and sneered, "If you are afraid, go back quickly. We don't want cowards." Their words were full of sarcasm and contempt, as if that person's fear was a shameful weakness.
The man was furious, his eyes flashing with angry flames. He looked at the two men deeply, then turned and strode away. His heart was filled with humiliation and anger, but he also knew that he could not fall here. He had to prove his courage and strength.
However, the others did not realize what his departure meant. They continued to move forward, mocking and despising the man's cowardice. What they did not know was that the man had actually sensed an unusual aura in the corridor, a dangerous aura.
After walking for a while, the "squeaking" sound gradually became clearer. Everyone stopped in panic, their hearts filled with fear and anxiety. They knew that this sound was definitely not a good sign.
"What's that sound?" A man stared at the darkness ahead with wide eyes and shouted. Although his legs were shaking, he still tried to stay calm.
"Oh my god, it's... rats!" Someone suddenly pointed ahead and exclaimed. His voice was filled with fear and despair. Everyone realized at this moment that there were densely packed large gray rats swarming in front of the corridor like wild cats, and the "squeaking" sound was endless. The ground and walls were full of these densely packed things, and the mere sight of this scene made people's scalps numb.
"Run!" Everyone was horrified. The rats were so dense that if they got close to them, even their bones would be eaten clean. They turned and ran, hoping to escape from this horrible place. However, the speed of the rats was much faster than they imagined. They rushed in like a tide and instantly submerged everyone.
"Squeak! Squeak!" The sound was getting closer and closer, louder and faster. Everyone ran in panic, but their speed was far slower than that of the rats. They knew that they were in a desperate situation.
"Quick! Throw away the torches, maybe it can stop them for a while." Someone shouted and threw the torch in his hand. Others followed suit and threw the torches to a place, instantly lighting a pile of fire. However, this pile of fire did not have much effect. Although the rats on the ground stopped, the rats on the wall continued to move forward despite the scorching heat, and their speed was even faster.
"Ah - help me!" Screams rang out one after another. In less than two minutes, the corridor fell into darkness again, and the "squeaking" sound gradually disappeared. Only the scorching temperature was left, indicating what had just happened. Everyone was devoured by the rats without a trace, leaving only a dead silence and a terrifying atmosphere in the air.
In another corridor, dozens of people were also walking forward with torches. They were Wei Shucong and his party from the Great Wei State. They were numerous and powerful, and almost everyone had a torch. The corridor was lit up like daylight, and even from a distance, it was clearly visible. They walked forward cautiously, alert to the movements around them.
Suddenly, Wei Shucong stopped walking. He listened carefully for a while and said solemnly, "Not good! There may be a lot of insects and animals ahead. Get the anthelmintic quickly and be careful." His voice was full of tension and vigilance.
"What bug? I didn't hear any sound." Someone asked in confusion. They didn't detect any unusual smell or sound.
"Quick, sprinkle the medicine on your body. Those who can help burn the kerosene should move forward a foot away, and those who have fire attribute spiritual power should gather the flames and throw them out, and set up a wall of fire to block them." Wei Shucong directed everyone anxiously. He knew that time was running out and he had to prepare as soon as possible.
As soon as they finished spreading the powder, they saw a flood of yellow ants coming from the other side of the fire. The sound of "rustling" was endless, which made people tremble with fear. The yellow ants were as big as mice, and they were surging crazily in a yellow-orange mass at an extremely fast speed.
"Oh my god! There are so many yellow ants!" Everyone was shocked. If Wei Shucong hadn't discovered it first and made preparations, they would have been surrounded by yellow ants and would have been killed. They looked at Wei Shucong gratefully, feeling lucky to have such a wise and brave leader.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid this road is blocked. We should take advantage of the opportunity when the fire wall temporarily blocks the ant colony and retreat quickly." Someone said in a trembling voice. He was really scared by the ant colony and just wanted to escape from this terrifying place as soon as possible.
Wei Shucong nodded, knowing that the man's suggestion was correct. They had to retreat quickly while the fire wall was still blocking the ants, otherwise once the fire wall was broken by the ants, they would face a catastrophe. He quickly directed everyone to retreat, and their figures gradually faded away in the firelight and disappeared at the end of the corridor. The yellow ants behind him continued to surge madly, as if they wanted to devour everything.
"Let's go!" Wei Shucong, the tall and resolute leader, waved his hand, turned around and retreated quickly. His eyes revealed an unquestionable firmness and courage.
This underground ancient site is like a complicated maze, with winding corridors and so many paths that it is dizzying, as if every step may lead to an unknown trap. Since this path is blocked, change direction and continue to explore, and you will always find a way out.
Over there, Chang Yong was mixed in the crowd, holding a torch tightly in his hand, and his triangular eyes secretly looked at the people around him from time to time, with both vigilance and calculation in his eyes. There was blood on his clothes, but don't worry, it was not his own, it was accidentally splashed during the previous melee. Chang Yong was a cunning guy, who could always find his place in the chaos, neither conspicuous nor lagging behind.
There were about a dozen people in their group, most of whom were unfamiliar with each other. They had all survived in the main hall to compete for resources, and now they simply went deeper together. Everyone's face was full of greed and desire. They knew that there were countless secrets and treasures hidden in this ancient monument, and as long as they could find them, they could become rich overnight.
"Hey? There's a door ahead, there must be a lot of treasures inside!" Chang Yong suddenly pointed ahead, and in the flickering firelight, a stone door could be vaguely seen. His voice was filled with a hint of excitement and anticipation, as if he had already seen the treasure behind the door.
Thinking back to the time when everyone was fighting for the precious weapons in the stone chamber, everyone was excited this time, with greed flashing in their eyes.
"You guys have already reaped the benefits, now it's my turn!" A young man shouted, and rushed forward with a torch in hand. His face was red, and his eyes were shining with desire for treasure.
"Bah! Whoever grabs it first gets it! If you want to get the treasure, you have to show your ability!" The other young man was not to be outdone, and he swung a heavy copper hammer in his hand, weighing about 700 pounds, and smashed it over with wind and fire. His muscles were tense, and he was obviously a master of strength.
The young man in front dodged hastily. Although he was not hit, he staggered several steps due to the blast. He steadied himself, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
"Asshole! How dare you plot against me!" He was furious and swept the torch across, the flames whizzing. His movements were swift and fierce, like an enraged beast.
The young man with the hammer saw that he was an expert, so he retreated immediately after his strike missed, but his clothes were still burned with several holes. A trace of regret flashed in his eyes, but more of it was the desire for treasure.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, someone rushed to the door and rushed in. His figure flashed in the firelight, like a cheetah eager to find food.
Chang Yong followed slowly behind, and when he passed the two men, he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "The baby is important, stop fighting." In fact, he knew clearly that every room was guarded by a mechanism, and he could not take risks easily. His eyes revealed a cunning and calculating look, as if everything was under his control.
"Just wait and see!" The young man who was attacked snorted and rushed in. His eyes were full of anger and unwillingness, as if he wanted to vent all his dissatisfaction on this stone door.
The young man with the hammer followed with a gloomy face, thinking about how to get the treasure. His muscles were tense, and the copper hammer in his hand seemed to be an extension of him, ready to smash any obstacle that stood in his way.
A group of people crowded to the door, and the first person who arrived pushed the door hard, but it didn't budge. A trace of surprise and dissatisfaction flashed across his face, as if he didn't expect the door to be so sturdy.
"I'll help!" An impatient young man was anxious, and he used his spiritual power to slap the door. A faint light flashed on his palm, as if it contained infinite power.
However, the result was a bit of embarrassment and dissatisfaction flashed across his face, as if he had doubts about his own strength.
"This door is very solid, the treasure inside must be extraordinary. Let's go together!" someone shouted, trying to arouse everyone's fighting spirit.
Two more guys came up, and the four of them worked together, shouting and smashing towards the door. Their faces were full of determination and courage, as if they wanted to concentrate all their strength in this one blow.
"Bang!" The door shook, but still didn't open. A trace of surprise and dissatisfaction flashed across their faces, as if they didn't expect this door to be so difficult to break through.
"Come again!" The four men shouted in unison, and attacked with all their strength again. Their muscles tensed, as if they wanted to concentrate all their strength in this attack.
