Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

As Zhang Hainan's hands pressed down on the bricks of the wall in a regular pattern, a low and heart-shaking roar suddenly sounded, as if a long-sleeping beast had been awakened. Then, the stone door that was originally tightly closed and looked extremely heavy began to move slowly, accompanied by an ancient and dull friction sound, and it opened to both sides little by little.

After completing the action of opening the door, Zhang Hainan quickly turned around and returned to Xie Yuchen's back. His fingers were trembling slightly, as if he was communicating or transmitting information with the surrounding environment in some special way.

"Let's go. There are three more doors like this. And be careful, this door won't stay open forever." Xie Yuchen stood up first, and as he spoke, he gently brushed off the dust that fell from his body when the stone door opened. His eyes were firm and steady, revealing a courage and determination that was not afraid of the unknown challenges ahead.

As Xie Yuchen took the first step without hesitation and stepped into the stone door that had just been opened, everyone became nervous. They followed closely behind him and walked carefully into this mysterious space, not knowing what unexpected situation they would encounter next...

Everyone walked carefully through a long and extremely dark tunnel, as if they were in an endless passage to the underworld. Every step they took, they could feel the suffocating and oppressive atmosphere around them. However, just when everyone was about to lose their patience, a ray of light suddenly appeared in front of them, and then the view became wide and bright.

However, this relaxed mood did not last long. Soon, everyone noticed that in the middle of the wall opposite them, there stood another heavy stone door. This stone door looked thick and solid, like an insurmountable fortress.

At this moment, Xie Yuchen made up his mind without hesitation, not to give the people present even a moment's respite. He turned his head suddenly and glanced at Zhang Hainan, who was standing not far behind him. His eyes were like two lightning bolts, instantly piercing the darkness. They contained not only an unshakable will, but also an unreserved trust in Zhang Hainan. Then, he nodded slightly, a small but powerful movement, as if he was conveying a silent but extremely important instruction to Zhang Hainan - asking him to go forward and open the second mysterious stone door hidden deep inside.

After receiving the order, Zhang Hainan also did not hesitate at all. He strode forward like an arrow from a bow. However, after taking only a few steps, Xie Yuchen, who had been paying close attention to the surroundings, with his extremely sharp insight, suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at the dark corners on both sides of the stone gate, as if he had discovered some great secret.

It turned out that in those originally inconspicuous corners, there were actually six huge stone pillars half a person's height quietly hidden! These stone pillars stood there quietly, motionless, like silent guardians left from ancient times, as if they had been waiting here for a long time. When Xie Yuchen looked closely again, he couldn't help but take a breath: on the top of each stone pillar, there was a lifelike and majestic stone lion statue carefully carved!

These stone lions seem to be endowed with life, with their teeth bared and claws waving, and their expressions extremely powerful. Their eyes are wide open, and flames are spewing from their mouths, as if they will break free from their restraints in the next second, and pounce on anyone who dares to approach like a beast out of a cage. The hair on each stone lion is clearly visible, as if it really exists, fluttering in the wind, exuding a wild and unruly atmosphere. Its muscle lines are smooth and natural, highlighting a strong sense of power, as if it can crush the boulder into powder with just a flick of its claws.

Especially the extremely sharp claws and sharp and slender fangs, which were carved into the wood, and the cold light flashed and made people shudder. Just one look at it was enough to make people feel fearful and dare not look at it easily.

At this moment, Xie Yuchen suddenly shouted: "Hai Nan, be careful!" This shout was like a thunder, instantly breaking the brief silence at the scene. Everyone's attention was attracted by this sudden shout, and they all looked in the direction of his finger. There stood six strangely shaped stone pillars, and on each stone pillar, there was a stone lion statue with a hideous face squatting.

When people saw these mysterious stone pillars and the lifelike stone lion statues on them, they were all dumbfounded and terrified. Some people were so scared that their faces turned pale and their legs became weak, and they could hardly stand; others gasped and stepped back involuntarily, fearing that the stone lions would suddenly pounce on them and tear them to pieces. For a moment, the whole scene was in panic.

Just now, when Zhang Hainan's foot stepped onto the seemingly peaceful sand, it seemed as if a mysterious mechanism had been triggered. In an instant, the stone lion that had been standing there like a sleeping beast suddenly came to life! It slowly opened its bloody mouth, and countless silver needles as thin as cow hair and flashing with cold light continuously sprayed out from it.

These silver needles flew out at an astonishing speed, shooting in all directions like a gust of wind and rain. They intertwined in the air to form a dazzling silver light net, leaving no place for people to escape. What was even more terrifying was that the needle tips were clearly coated with a deadly poison that would produce a terrible chemical reaction once it touched an object.

Whenever the silver needle hit the sand, wisps of green smoke would instantly emerge, accompanied by a pungent, unpleasant, and disgusting smell. This smell seemed to come from the abyss of hell, and it made people shudder just by smelling it.

Faced with this sudden change, Zhang Hainan showed an extraordinary agility. He almost instinctively retreated quickly, his steps were like the wind, and he took several steps back before he could barely stabilize his body. However, although his movements were fast enough, he still failed to completely avoid the dense attack of silver needles.

There was a slight but piercing sound of "hissing", and a silver needle as thin as an ox hair quickly passed through the corner of his clothes like lightning. In the blink of an eye, the originally intact corner of his clothes had an extremely tiny cut, which was almost imperceptible if you didn't look carefully.

After seeing this scene, Xie Yuchen, who had been standing nearby, turned pale instantly, as if he was shrouded in an invisible fear. He opened his eyes wide, his lips trembling slightly, and shouted without hesitation: "Zhang Haidi, hurry up! Come over here to take a look at Hai Nan!" The urgent shout exploded in the air like thunder, and the anxiety and concern contained in it were simply beyond words.

Xie Yuchen's nervous look successfully confused the people behind him, making them confused for a moment, not knowing what serious thing had happened. At this moment, Zhang Haidi, carrying his small and exquisite medicine box on his back, struggled to get out of the crowded crowd. As soon as he came close, he opened the medicine box with swift hands and feet, and then buried his head in it for a while. Soon, a pair of sharp scissors appeared in his hands.

Zhang Haidi held a pair of scissors and carefully approached the part of the clothing that was cut by the silver needle, and then cut it open with skillful movements. As the clothing was slowly separated, Zhang Hainan's wound was finally exposed to everyone's eyes without reservation.

Huo Xiangu, who was standing in front at this time, saw everything clearly. When she saw the wound, she was shocked. The wound had begun to fester and showed a palpitating purple color. You know, she knew the Zhang family quite well. With the bodies of the Zhang family, they could send all the people present to a safe place safely even if they were poisoned.

As far as she knew, it was harder than climbing to the sky for ordinary drugs to hurt these guys who had experienced hundreds of battles and had different physical fitness from ordinary people. It was nothing short of a fool's dream! But at this moment, the scene before her eyes clearly showed that the mechanism here had been secretly tampered with. There was no doubt that this was not an accident, but someone did it deliberately. And the person who did it must be well aware of the internal situation of the Zhang family, and could even be said to know it like the back of his hand. Not only that, this person or the power behind him must be extremely powerful, and it is very likely that he belongs to a mysterious organization that is large in scale, profound in background, and knows all the details of the Zhang family.

When he thought of this, Huo Xian Gu couldn't help but frown. His heart seemed to be pressed down by a heavy stone, and an indescribable ominous premonition instantly surged into his mind.

Huo Xian Gu racked her brains but couldn't figure out which family, other than the one that had been hiding behind people, could have such a deep understanding of the physical fitness of the Zhang family? The more she thought about it, the more frightened she felt, and her whole body trembled involuntarily. Oh my God! Can she really escape from the clutches of these terrible enemies?
