treacherous world

Zhan Zhao slipped, and he didn't know how far he went down. He only knew that the hole was very deep, and the slope was not steep, and he went down in a circle, so the speed of the slide was not very fast.It can be seen that this tunnel is not a trap, but a passage leading to the bottom.

After skating for a while, he landed on the ground without any danger. Zhan Zhao staggered and rushed forward. He hurriedly used his internal strength to take a step, stepped on a hole in the ground, and then stabilized himself.He felt someone rushing towards him from behind, realized that it should be Bai Yutang, and immediately turned his head to catch him, lest he fall out.

But Bai Yutang didn't remember the matter of not being allowed to use internal force, and instinctively wanted to do the same movements as Zhan Zhao to stabilize his body, so the two bumped into each other smoothly, and fell to the ground together.

With a "bang", a large cloud of dust was raised all around.

"Ahem..." Zhan Zhao let the dust choke and coughed, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Bai Yutang coughing, covering his mouth and nose.

The two sides looked at each other for a long time, Zhan Zhao reached out and poked Bai Yutang who was staring at him in a daze, "Hey, get up, you are still quite heavy."

"Oh." It took Bai Yutang a long time to react, he quickly got up and pulled Zhan Zhao up by the way.

The first movement of the two of them was to awkwardly look away from their tightly glued eyes and pat the dust on their bodies.Zhan Zhao is fine, the dark clothes are good enough after a pat on the back.Bai Yutang was dressed in white, but this time it was good, he turned into gray, it was the first time in his life that he was so dirty, and he was in an extremely bad mood.

Zhan Zhao joked, "It doesn't matter, gray is also suitable, and there are gray mice."

Bai Yutang was not in the mood to argue with Zhan Zhao anymore, and raised his head to look around.

After going down the long tunnel, there is an underground cave with torches all around, so the light is not dim and can be seen clearly.

"Someone's there?" Zhan Zhao took a few steps and looked in front of the cave. There was a big iron door, which was still open.

The big black cat just now was squatting in front of the gate, looking back at the two of them, its bright red eyes shone strangely in the dim yellow light.

"What on earth is this cat trying to do?" Bai Yutang frowned, feeling that the black cat was suspicious, whether someone was manipulating it or he had an idea to guide them into the ground.

The two looked at each other, and were thinking about the next step, when they heard the black cat "meow", turned around, wagged its tail slightly, and walked in through the door.

Zhan Zhao looked at the top of the tunnel, this tunnel is very ingeniously designed, there are many other virtual passages above the rotating tunnel, it is almost impossible to climb up without missing a beat, that is to say, this is a road that cannot be climbed. access.

The road ahead seems to be only moving forward.

"Go forward?" Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, "Or try to go up?"

"Since someone tried their best to get us to come, it's natural to go and have a look." Bai Yutang said indifferently, just as he and Zhan Zhao were thinking, the two stopped talking nonsense and walked deep into the crypt .

After walking through the iron gate for a while, I saw the black cat standing in front of a strange stone wall waiting for the two of them.

"Is it a dead end?" Zhan Zhao saw a solid wall in front of him, it didn't look like a stone gate, but a wall made of chaotic rocks. Could it be that there was a collapse before, so the road was blocked?

"Cat, don't move."

When Zhan Zhao was wondering, he felt Bai Yutang gently pulling him, turned to look at him, and saw that he seemed a little nervous at this moment, and asked quickly, "What's wrong?"

"It's a ladder wall. It's dangerous for you to stand behind me." Bai Yutang pulled Zhan Zhao behind him. Zhan Zhao didn't quite understand, so he followed him cautiously, looking around Bai Yutang's neck, and asked, " What is it? An agency?"

"Yeah." Bai Yutang nodded, "I probably know where we are?"

"where?"

"The entrance to the Crypt of the Treasure House of the Demon City is the same as the one drawn on the map." As he spoke, he leaned his ear against the wall and listened carefully.

Zhan Zhao also leaned over to listen curiously.

Seeing Zhan Zhao's face next to his, Bai Yutang frowned, "Cat..."

"Huh?" Zhan Zhao was nervous, "What did you find?"

"You...don't get so close to me." Bai Yutang was a little embarrassed.

Zhan Zhao blinked and looked at him puzzled.

Seeing Zhan Zhao's eyes right in front of him, Bai Yutang felt that he couldn't concentrate, "Uh... the voice."

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, realizing that his breath probably disturbed Bai Yutang's listening, so he quickly covered his mouth and nose with his hands, signaling Bai Yutang to continue.

Bai Yutang almost thought that the cat was deliberately teasing him, reached out, grabbed Zhan Zhao's shoulders and moved him back, letting him leave him a little more than a foot, until his heartbeat would not be disturbed.

Zhan Zhao kept the posture requested by Bai Yutang and stood still, watching him stretch out his hand, gently moving his palm on the wall, and when it stopped in the central area, he suddenly pressed hard...

With a "click", a brick was pressed down on that place.

Then, there was a clicking sound inside, and then sections of brick walls began to move.

Bai Yutang pulled Zhan Zhao back a step, and a moment later, a row of ladder-like stones appeared on the wall.

"That's why it's called Ladder Wall, isn't it?" Zhan Zhao thought the name was very appropriate.

Bai Yutang nodded, and pressed a few more bricks... There seemed to be some formula and sequence.Soon, the entire wall was separated from the middle, and the junction was in a zigzag shape. Zhan Zhao also saw many round holes in the stone, with blue arrows protruding from the outside. This is a poisonous mechanism.In other words, if someone forcibly destroys the wall or presses the wrong brick, it means that they will be tied into a hedgehog.

The world behind the wall is dark.

Bai Yutang led Zhan Zhao back first, and took two torches from the wall.

"Is the crypt of the demon city behind?" Zhan Zhao squatted aside, looking at Bai Yutang who took out the blueprint and read it again.

"En." Bai Yutang nodded.

"If we go forward, we may be in the middle of the opponent's plot." Zhan Zhao reminded Bai Yutang, "Their purpose is to let you open all the organs so that you can go in and steal the treasure."

Bai Yutang nodded, "Indeed, this black cat is guiding us... There must be something different about it, so that it knows the way into the underground palace."

"You want to go in and let the demon city fall under the sea without causing a tsunami, right?" Zhan Zhao asked again.

"I really can't hide anything from you." Bai Yutang looked up at Zhan Zhao, "It might be very dangerous."

"But you must go, don't you?" Zhan Zhao looked at him with a smile, "The reason why the fifth lady taught you the tricks back then was because she thought that one day it might be useful! If this demon city is related to her, then she I definitely don't want the mechanism she set up back then to kill tens of thousands of people along the coast of Songjiang Mansion. There are not many ways to solve the crisis in this demon city. Zhao Pu and the others will take a considerable risk if they want to blow up the island. Let the island sink as peacefully as it came up...you know the way, don't you?"

After Bai Yutang listened to it, he smiled, "Did Bai Fu tell you about the godmother?"

"Yeah!" Zhan Zhao nodded and stood up holding a torch, "And there is one more thing that I am more concerned about."

"What?" Bai Yutang also stood up.

"It's the identity of the ghost-masked man, and that bastard Lei Qinglang hasn't been caught yet, just punching him is too cheap." Zhan Zhao said with a smile on his face, "The Moon Monster Clan seems to have something to do with Big Brother, anyway. No matter what, I also want to go to Demon City to broaden my horizons."

As they spoke, the two looked at each other... immediately understood each other's meaning.Neither of these two people are timid and fearful. Now that they are here, they will naturally have to fight each other's wits and courage.

So, after entering the stone wall with the torch, the black cat was already waiting at the entrance. Seeing the two following, it led the way with graceful steps.

Bai Yutang suddenly asked Zhan Zhao, "Cat, is this a male cat or a female cat?"

"This..." Zhan Zhao tilted his head to look, "I guess it's the mother's, it doesn't seem to be so fit."

Bai Yutang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "This way?"

"Yeah, have the female cats ever given birth, you know, they are a bit fluffier, and the male cats should be tighter."

In the dark tunnel, listening to Zhan Zhao's "nonsense" was quite interesting, and Bai Yutang felt a little more relaxed, and his internal strength seemed to have recovered a little.Now he only hopes that his internal strength will be completely recovered, and a tough battle will be inevitable in a while, if Zhan Zhao alone, it will not be possible.

Soon, another large iron gate appeared in front of him.

"This is the real gate of the crypt, there will be a bridge behind, cat, follow my footsteps and step on the square bricks, don't make a mistake!"

"Understood!" Zhan Zhao nodded.

The black cat was squatting on the side lightly and deftly, Bai Yutang stretched out his hand and waved at it, the black cat jumped up lightly with a "whoosh", jumped onto Bai Yutang's shoulder and squatted down, standing firmly.

Zhan Zhao suddenly discovered that, looking closely, the cat's fur was black with a hint of red, such a strange color... At least he had never seen this kind of cat.

Bai Yutang crossed the stone slab bridge according to the square brick grid that he had walked through many times in his memory. Zhan Zhao followed and passed safely. When he looked back, "he left very clear footprints."

"Follow them if they want." Bai Yutang smiled, "Give them what they want, so they won't play other tricks."

Zhan Zhao nodded, "That's right."

The two walked forward for a while, and Zhan Zhao heard a "rustling" sound from inside the wall, and asked Bai Yutang in a low voice, "What's that sound?"

Bai Yutang looked back at him, "Cat, what animal do you hate the most?"

Zhan Zhao frowned and thought for a while, "Hmm...snakes, spiders, scorpions or something like that."

"Just right." Bai Yutang stopped suddenly, and pointed forward to Zhan Zhao who almost ran into him behind him.

Zhan Zhao leaned over to look, and saw a half-person-deep black pit not far ahead.There seemed to be something wriggling underneath.

After seeing clearly that it was a pool of snakes and bugs, Zhan Zhao's face wrinkled.

At this time, Bai Yutang rubbed the soles of his shoes on a strange green stone by the pit, and was about to go down, Zhan Zhao hurriedly stopped him, "Oh, what are you doing?"

Bai Yutang turned his head, asked Zhan Zhao to rub the soles of his shoes, and went down with him.

Zhan Zhao resolutely refused to step on the bugs, and stretched out his hand to point directly at the opposite side, "It's not very far, how about jumping over with light work, I'll take you!"

Bai Yutang wanted to laugh, and shook his head, "The opposite side is full of traps, jumping over them will definitely kill you."

Zhan Zhao was silent for a while, "You godmother is so treacherous!"

Bai Yutang reached out and grabbed his wrist, telling him to follow him, "Go."

Zhan Zhao frowned and jumped down the pit unwillingly, but he didn't step on the bug.Because the moment their soles touched the ground, those bugs seemed to be stimulated by something, and ran away crazily... making a way for them.Zhan Zhao understood, probably the smell of the green stone is something that bugs hate very much.Some regret that I didn't pry that stone back to study for Gongsun.

The two easily walked through the bottom of the pit, went up a flight of stairs, and entered a cave.

"Isn't it the road above?" Zhan Zhao wondered.

"No." Bai Yutang shook his head. "There are many fake paths in this crypt that are more real than real paths. At the bottom of each path there is a deadly mechanism that cannot be cracked at all. As long as you choose the wrong path, no matter whether it is Stepping on the mechanism means that you are dead!"

Zhan Zhao nodded with lingering fear, no wonder these people wanted to catch Bai Yutang to break the mechanism no matter what, it was indeed not a technical problem, but that memory!But he was puzzled again, "Have you told Shen Yan about these things? Why did they know you would?"

Bai Yutang frowned and shook his head, "You are the one who knows the most things about me. Except for a few brothers, I rarely talk so much with people."

Zhan Zhao is in a good mood, Bai Yutang is indeed very indifferent to people, and he probably has a predestined relationship with him, and they got along very well when they first met.Seeing that there was no danger, the black cat was still squatting on Bai Yutang's shoulder, so he lifted it down, put it on the ground, and let it walk by itself.

The black cat raised its face and glanced at Zhan Zhao, that look... a little elusive.

"How many institutions are there, so I'm mentally prepared!" Zhan Zhao regretted that he didn't bring a dry food package, and he was still a little hungry at the moment.

Bai Yutang only replied, "Soon!"

"Oh." Zhan Zhao got a relatively satisfactory answer, nodded, probably two or three more.

However, after the two left for about an hour, after Bai Yutang dismantled more than a dozen mechanisms, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but ask, "Is it all right?"

Bai Yutang answered him again, "Soon!"

The corner of Zhan Zhao's mouth twitched, thinking that this time it might really be too late, so he followed patiently.

At last……

After two hours, Zhan Zhao couldn't remember the big and small organs that Bai Yutang demolished, so he poked him, "How many more are there?"

Bai Yutang smiled slightly, "There are ten more."

Zhan Zhao Wang Tian knew why he used "soon" to prevaricate himself. If he had said fifty or sixty organs from the beginning, he might be more tired than now.

Bai Yutang went to disassemble a few turntables again with concentration. Zhan Zhao saw that his internal strength had not yet recovered, and his face was a little pale. Although he was already very pale, he felt tired just following behind. Use your brain and be very careful with every movement, it must consume a lot.

Zhan Zhao's heart was in turmoil, and he couldn't tell what kind of feeling he was feeling.

Seeing that Bai Yutang had been holding his hands up for a while, Zhan Zhao reached out to help him pinch his shoulders, and touched Bai Yutang's neck.

"hiss……"

When Bai Yutang turned around in shock, Zhan Zhao saw his ears were red and his hands were frozen in place, and asked with a complicated expression, "What... are you doing?"

"Uh, I want to pinch you twice, aren't you tired?" Zhan Zhao reached out and touched Bai Yutang's neck again.

"Don't do weird things!" Bai Yutang patted Zhan Zhao's hand and touched his neck in embarrassment, "Damn cat, don't mess with me."

Looking at the suddenly irritable Bai Yutang, Zhan Zhao felt baffled, and thought that this person really... rubbed the back of his hand, the dead mouse was quite forceful!

Bai Yutang turned his head back, took a few deep breaths, calmed down his beating heart that was not quite in control, and sank his steaming head, calmed down and continued to crack the mechanism.Seeing Zhan Zhao watching from the side, he simply reached out and stuffed the black cat into his hand, "Hold it, don't touch it!"

Zhan Zhao muttered in a low voice, "Why are you being stingy, why don't you just touch it twice, at worst, let you touch it back."

"What?" Bai Yutang turned to look at him.

Zhan Zhao opened his eyes wide, pointed at Bai Yutang's hand, "Is the place you pressed on a mechanism?"

Bai Yutang was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that he had just been distracted, and pressed his hand to a certain place involuntarily, and there was a "twittering, clicking" sound from behind the wall.

"Not good!" Bai Yutang jumped on Zhan Zhao and fell backward...

In an instant, dozens of steel axes were inserted from the wall, and they were chopped down from top to bottom.

Fortunately, Zhan Zhao Huan Yutang reacted quickly, retracted his feet, and the steel axes were stuck on the ground, only an inch away from their toes.

After a long time, the two came back to their senses, looked at the steel knife and swallowed their saliva—it was so dangerous!

Bai Yutang narrowed his eyes slightly to look at Zhan Zhao, who quickly shook his head with the cat in his arms, "I won't touch the cat anymore, and I won't talk anymore."

Seeing his appearance, Bai Yutang unconsciously leaned forward, Zhan Zhao also looked at him, the light of the torch was still dim, the eyes of the two intertwined, staring at each other's lips, it seemed that they couldn't see If you are clear, go forward as much as possible.

Just when my mind was blank, I suddenly heard a cat meow...

When the two came back to their senses and looked again, they were almost close to each other, their noses touching, and they could clearly feel each other's breath.

"Cough cough."

At the same time, the two turned their faces away to cough and stood up in embarrassment.

Bai Yutang went back, avoided the steel knife and continued to crack the mechanism.Zhan Zhao didn't know why, but inexplicably pinched the black cat's tail forcefully, the pain made the cat blew out, and rushed out to a long distance, licking its tail while looking at him inexplicably.
