treacherous world

Seeing those vicious dogs, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were a little apprehensive.Zhan Zhao tugged at Bai Yutang, "Oh, is there any mechanism to close the door?

Bai Yutang shook his head, "This kind of mechanism has a characteristic, it can only be closed when it is opened from the outside, and it still cannot get in after it is closed.

Zhan Zhao probably has some feline nature. When he saw a vicious dog in power, he had the urge to go to the room. He looked up and saw that there was no place to hide on the four walls. Who designed this? It's too bullying!

Bai Yutang saw the flames in the distance, and knew that there were several people walking among the dogs holding torches, and there was the sound of wheels spinning behind them, as if they were pushing carts.

"Is the cart coming in to put money?" Zhan Zhao frowned, and Bai Yutang suddenly remembered that there was still a short flute that was found in Lei Qinglang's pocket hidden in his bosom. If you don't move, maybe it can be used to save lives in a while.

Bai Yutang gave Zhan Zhao a hand, and they hid behind the huge golden statue together.It feels quite special to step on a pile of gold and silver treasures.

Soon, footsteps reached the door.

"What about people?"

A voice came, and it was Lei Qinglang who spoke, "Didn't you say that there is no other way to go?"

"Can others be more capable than you?" Shen Yan said.

"Hey, this is really an eye-opener!" Tang Qingsong was obviously there, probably evaluating these treasures.

"Not as many as expected."

It was the ghost-faced man who spoke.

"It's okay, let's move all the money away, and then let the dogs out, I can't wait to see their bloody corpses." Lei Qinglang said with a smile, as if talking to the people around him, "What? Well? Put on a bad face and feel sorry for your son?"

Zhan Zhao saw Bai Yutang froze for a moment, and wondered in his heart—who is Lei Qinglang talking to?

"Since you have got everything you want, don't kill people...ah!"

Then the speaker's voice turned out to be Aunt Mei, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the two of them heard a crisp "slap", as if they had been slapped hard.

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were taken aback, what's going on?

"Hey!" Shen Yan pulled Aunt Mei behind her and pointed at Lei Qinglang, "Are you still human, even your mother would be beaten."

"Who said she was my mother?" Lei Qinglang sneered, reaching out to grab Aunt Mei, "Come here, I'll feed the dog with you later."

"enough!"

The ghost-masked man said, "Hurry up and move things, by the way, find things first, and be careful when moving gold and silver."

"Let's do it." Tang Qingsong led his men to push the cart to carry the financial report.

Zhan Zhao patted Bai Yutang lightly—looking for something?

Bai Yutang also nodded, they seemed to be looking for something.

There was the sound of moving things outside, and Zhan Zhao saw that Bai Yutang's eyes seemed to be attracted by a protruding brick placed in front of him. He squatted down to look at the stone, and saw a circle of patterns around it, something similar to a ghost drawing talisman. .

Zhan Zhao tilted his head to see the expression on Bai Yutang's face, and saw that his brows were slightly wrinkled and his face was colder than usual.

Zhan Zhao understands the changes in Bai Yutang's expression. The reason why people always say that he is not close to strangers, and some even say that he is ruthless, is mostly because of his facial paralysis.

The difference between when Bai Yutang was in a good mood and when he was in a normal mood or when he was in a bad mood was just a feeling.A good mood is brighter, a normal mood is completely calm, and a bad mood is darker.As for smiles, frowns and other expressions, you can only see them after getting along with him for a long time.

But at this moment, Bai Yutang's mood can be described as extremely bad, Zhan Zhao understands why, and also knows... Bai Yutang has murderous intentions towards Lei Qinglang, very serious thoughts.

People from the Jianghu are people from the Jianghu after all, and Bai Yutang killed many people. Of course, he also killed a lot of damn people when he was walking in the Jianghu.Zhan Zhao wasn't so pedantic that he didn't want all murders to be handed over to the government. For people like Lei Qinglang, everyone could punish him.

"Will it be up there?"

At this time, Tang Qingsong found the brocade box held by the golden man, "It should be something unusual to keep it so precious.

As Tang Qingsong said, he wanted to go up and get it.

"Wait a minute!" Shen Yan yelled to stop Tang Qingsong, "Be careful with the mechanism, don't move casually if you don't understand!"

"Don't touch the golden man, let's move the things into the car." The ghost-masked man ordered, "Move quickly, it won't last long outside."

Tang Qingsong immediately stopped what he was doing, glanced hesitantly at the brocade box in the golden man's hand, and continued to order people to move the gold, silver and jewelry.

It's not safe to stand behind the Buddha statues, as long as they move a little inside, they will be found, so try to get out as soon as possible.

Zhan Zhao squatted down and winked at Bai Yutang, as if asking——Guess what they are looking for?

Bai Yutang shook his head lightly, pointed at Zhan Zhao at the stone on the ground, then at the wall, and made an open gesture.

Zhan Zhao was slightly startled—can it be opened?

Bai Yutang nodded.

But at this time, the voice from outside became louder. The ghost-faced man ordered to evacuate all the gems and belongings here. getting bigger.

Bai Yutang gently turned the stone twice and pressed it down.

Following his movements, the stone door in front of him opened silently, and a room appeared behind...

Zhan Zhao was surprised that there was no sound!

Bai Yutang gave him a hand, and the two of them quickly got inside. Immediately, Bai Yutang shot back at the protruding stone with a black jade flying locust stone.

With a "click", the stone turned and the stone door closed instantly.

This sound also alarmed the people who were moving things in front of the golden man.Lei Qinglang jumped onto the platform and walked around behind the golden man, only to see a protruding stone on the ground, and a black jade locust stone at his feet.

He expected Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao to sneak in behind, so he stretched out his hand to press the stone.

It's just that the opening of this stone is very delicate, Lei Qinglang pushed it recklessly... and three poisonous arrows were withdrawn from the door.

He reacted quickly, sideways avoided, and did not dare to do it again, let Shen Yan come over to take a look, shook his head and said that only Bai Yutang could solve this kind of mechanism, which made Lei Qinglang's face turn livid.

He was also punched hard by Zhan Zhao on the back of the neck, and it still hurts to the touch, rubbing the wound, Lei Qinglang thought of ways to continue chasing the two of them.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went to another space, the top is still a curved dome, but it is taller and brighter than the previous one.

Looking up, Zhan Zhao understood, "Oh! That was a hole in a hole just now!"

Bai Yutang stood aside with a sullen face, lowering his head, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Hello." Zhan Zhao patted him, "What's wrong?"

Bai Yutang said, "Cat, that treasure house is supposed to be a fake, and the treasures stored there are all decoys, not real treasures."

"What do you mean?" Zhan Zhao didn't understand, it was so extravagant to use so much real money as bait!

"I used to hear my godmother say, 'You can't just look at things in front of you, and don't be fooled by petty gains. The farther you look, the more clearly you can see!"

Zhan Zhao nodded, but he raised his eyes and looked around. Although this cave was bigger than the one just now, it was empty and contained nothing.The ground is paved with flat square bricks, and the walls are nothing but stones.

"It's not normal for such a large open space." Zhan Zhao was talking, when he heard the faint sound of gunfire and shouts of killing from outside.

The two looked at each other, could it be that they were already approaching the shore?Dare to turn around, they have turned up from the ground?

"I'll go to the wall to see if there is a stone door to go out." Bai Yutang quickly walked towards the distant wall, but just after taking a few steps, he felt a "creaking" sound under his feet.

"Why isn't the ground very stable?" Zhan Zhao also wondered, the ground is slippery, and the bricks on the ground seem to be disconnected from each other. Could it be because of the years of disrepair?

Bai Yutang stared at the ground for a long time. Suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He squatted down and stretched out his hand to gently brush off the dust on a square brick.

In an instant, a golden luster appeared.

With his mouth wide open, Zhan Zhao also came over and squatted down, and swept away with his inner strength...a burst of dust dispersed, revealing golden bricks underneath.

Bai Yutang raised his head and looked at the bricks all over the floor again, "Cat, this is a floor paved with gold bricks."

"Not just gold bricks."

Zhan Zhao suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the back, the wall they just passed through.

Bai Yutang turned his head in the direction of his finger, and saw a large piece of gold protruding from the wall.Looking up, I saw a wall and five golden Buddhas, each of which was as tall as the sky, with different postures on their hands, and benevolent faces.In the middle, on the forehead of the tallest Buddha, there is an unknown gem inlaid, which is emitting an orchid light. This gem is in the shape of a moon.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other—this is the real treasure of the demon clan!

"Compared to this, those in the next room are indeed just bait!" Zhan Zhao also had to admire.

At this moment, suddenly, the two of them felt the ground tremble slightly... Gravel fell from the top.There was a loud "rumbling" sound from the next room, as if something had collapsed.

"Oops!" Bai Yutang frowned, "The mechanism may have been triggered over there!"

"You mean the Buddha statue in the golden man's hand?" Zhan Zhao was also surprised.

Bai Yutang nodded... After a while, the surroundings returned to calm.

"Tell me, do the people over there have all been trapped and died?" Zhan Zhao walked to the door, leaned on the wall and listened, but couldn't hear a single sound.

"Let's find the exit first." Bai Yutang looked for the mechanism in the distance, "There seems to be something wrong!"

Zhan Zhao followed him, but he heard a strange "creaking" sound in his ears.The sound came from under the feet, as if something was squeezing and rubbing.He squatted down and looked intently at the gold bricks all over the floor, and saw that some of them had been pinched out. After feeling it again, Zhan Zhao suddenly said in horror, "Yutang, the ground is sinking!"

Bai Yutang also noticed it and knew that something was wrong.

"Look!" Zhan Zhao suddenly pointed at the ground, and saw that water had seeped in from the ground, and soon the water accumulated on the ground.

"The island is going to sink." Bai Yutang wanted to take Zhan Zhao out quickly, but there was no mechanism on the wall on the other side, and Zhan Zhao pointed to the foot of the Golden Buddha and said, "Look, the water next door flows from the foot of the Golden Buddha." It’s pouring in, and the water there seems to be deeper than this side.”

Bai Yutang nodded. Of course, they had been walking from bottom to top just now, and the water next door must be deeper than this side.

"If the people over there didn't die, they would have escaped from the main gate, right?" Zhan Zhao felt that Lei Qinglang would die if he died, and that Shen Yan and Tang Qingsong were just obeying orders, and they were not guilty of death , not to mention that there are many innocent military academies... By the way, there are also Aunt Mei and the ghost-faced man who is suspected to have something to do with Zhan Hao.

"If they can still go out." Bai Yutang quickly walked to the wall, stretched out his hand to hold a brick and turned it outside...

With a "crash", as the stone gate opened, water surged in.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang discovered that the water next door was nearly half a person high, but fortunately, it was blocked by the mountains of gold, silver and jewels blocking the entrance of the cave, so they couldn't rush over.

The two looked at each other, and when they got out of the hole, they saw Shen Yan lying on a stone pillar, seemingly injured.

There was a mess in front of my eyes, the entire top of the cave, including the golden man, collapsed, and the people below were already submerged in water, so they probably couldn't be saved.

"Bai...help me." Seeing Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao coming out of the cave, Shen Yan hurriedly called for help. When they saw her leg was crushed under a rock.

Hurrying over and pushing the stone away, the two found that Tang Qingsong was still under pressure, and there was still a breath left.

At this time, the rumbling sound on the ground was even louder, and the violent shaking was accompanied by the continuous falling of gravel.

Shen Yan only had a leg injury. After being rescued, she helped Tang Qingsong get up, and the dogs didn't care about biting, struggling and whimpering in the water.Many generals were injured, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang rescued all they could, and let them escape to the cave next door.

It was almost time for everyone to leave, but there was no ghost mask, Lei Qinglang or Aunt Mei!

Bai Yutang stood on top of the collapsed golden man, looking into the water, the water mixed with the soil on the ground, thinking it was muddy, and he couldn't see clearly what was under the water.But Aunt Mei and the others seem to have special abilities. As long as they are not crushed to death, they probably won't drown if they take a dip underwater.

Zhan Zhao saw that the water was getting higher and higher, and the treasures would soon be overwhelmed, and he was also anxious, there was almost no place to stand, and there were dense air-permeable cavities around, once the water submerged the ground and began to pour in from the cavities, then It sank faster.

"Aunt May!"

At this time, Shen Yan ran back with a limp, knowing that Bai Yutang was always trying to rescue Aunt Mei, so she hurriedly yelled several times on the shore.

Suddenly, I saw a hand stretched out from the water. It was very white and thin, and it seemed to be climbing up the pile of jewels.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were overjoyed, and went over to hold out their hands.

Sure enough, it was Aunt Mei who came out of the water. She spat out two mouthfuls of water, looked up and saw Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, and was stunned.The moment she met Bai Yutang's eyes, she hurriedly lowered her head, as if she didn't dare to look at him.

Zhan Zhao and the others naturally ignored everything and pulled her up forcefully.However, the moment she got ashore, suddenly the water splashed behind her, and a person jumped out suddenly.

With a flash of cold light, it came straight to Bai Yutang.

Zhan Zhao violently pulled Bai Yutang away... The cold light flashed across Aunt Mei's shoulder, because that was the best position to attack Bai Yutang, blood burst out instantly, of course, it was not Bai Yutang who was injured, but It's Aunt May.

It was none other than Lei Qinglang who rushed out to attack, his face was as white as paper, his eyes were blood red, his hair was disheveled, wet and dirty, he looked like a living ghost.

Shen Yan grabbed Aunt Mei who was clutching her shoulders and fell to the ground in pain, and cursed, "Lei Qinglang, you are not human!"

Zhan Zhao pulled Bai Yutang backwards, he almost fell into the water because he was too hasty and too violent to control his strength.Bai Yutang stabilized him with one hand, ignoring a sharp pain in his hand, turned around and shot two black jade locust stones with the other hand, directly hitting Lei Qinglang's bridge of nose and throat.

Lei Qinglang thought he had succeeded in a sneak attack in the water, but Bai Yutang dodged it unexpectedly, and the blood splashed from Aunt Mei's stabbing got on his face and slid down with the water droplets, dazzled his eyes.When he understood, he had been hit by the Moyu flying locust stone, and the pain on the bridge of his nose was unbearable. He couldn't see clearly for a moment, and his neck also felt a sharp pain. He quickly fell backwards and sank into the water without making a sound. .

Shen Yan supported Aunt Mei, seeing Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao pointing backwards, she knew they wanted her to go inside.The water here is already very deep, and everyone's water skills are not as good as Lei Qinglang's, it's not good for them to hide in the water.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also backed away, the water was getting more and more full at this time, the mechanism for closing the stone door was covered by the water and it was no longer working, and the water on the other side was already knee-deep.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang quickly returned to the other tomb. If the water level was allowed to rise higher and higher, even if Lei Qinglang hadn't sneaked in the water, they would have been drowned alive.

A group of generals and school were only concerned with running for their lives at this moment, how could they remember fighting, they all smashed doors against the wall and called for help.

Bai Yutang continued to look for the mechanism to open the door, while Zhan Zhao stood behind him with a sword, listening to the movement in the water.

"what!"

When everyone was nervous, they heard a shout from a small school.

Zhan Zhao looked around in the blink of an eye, and saw something passing across the water.

The green scales are like dragon scale armor.Zhan Zhao gasped, and immediately thought that it was the snake and worm in that worm pit just now!It must be because I was afraid of flooding, so I climbed along the elevation.

Following the scream of the general, a big snake suddenly raised its head and leaped out of the water, and opened its bloody mouth to bite him.

Zhan Zhao raised his sleeve and shot an arrow, piercing the snake's eyes straight into the brain, and the snake fell into the water with a "plop".

Just who knows how many snakes there are underwater?These things are extremely poisonous.Zhan Zhao looked back at Bai Yutang, he was still looking for the way out, and asked Shen Yan, "Is there only one map? What about the second half?"

Shen Yan shook her head, "No, I've only seen that one... I don't know if there are any more after that"

While they were talking, Zhan Zhao saw a water wave passing not far away, and there seemed to be some light below the water surface.

"Yutang, be careful!" Zhan Zhao shouted.

In the blink of an eye, Bai Yutang heard a "splash" in the water, splashing everywhere.

The water splashed straight into Bai Yutang's eyes, and he turned his face subconsciously. At this moment, Lei Qinglang jumped out of the water, and the sharp knife in his hand had already pierced Bai Yutang's heart.

Zhan Zhao jumped out of the water to stop it, but realized that it was too late, and his heart went cold instantly.

At this critical juncture, Bai Yutang only saw someone standing in front of him. This change was too fast, and he could already hear the crisp sound of sharp knives piercing into the flesh and breaking the bones of the person in front of him.

Seeing the wound and blood on the man's shoulder, Bai Yutang's brows furrowed and he felt a killing intent rushing up. He raised the silver knife out of its sheath, pulled the person in front of him back, and swept the knife with his backhand... what? Suddenly, blood spattered out.

When Zhan Zhao came up to him, he saw a deep knife wound on Lei Qinglang's neck, which had already broken his neck bone, and blood spurted onto the wall.

He covered his neck, and stared at Aunt Mei with a knife stuck in her chest with her eyes wide open as she stood in front of Bai Yutang.Lei Qinglang opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but at this moment, his throat leaked and he was unable to speak.

And Aunt Mei burst into tears when she saw his dying pain.

When everyone was stunned, there was another noise on the water surface, and another giant snake rushed out, probably stimulated by the smell of blood, the group of snakes under the water began to stir.The big snake swallowed Lei Qinglang's head in one gulp, pulled along the knife wound, the whole head was torn off and swallowed.

Aunt Mei saw it, and immediately let out a scream and passed out.

Zhan Zhao quickly chopped off the snake's head with his sword.

At this time, the water had already reached his chest, and the water was full of dangers, so Zhan Zhao quickly winked at Bai Yutang—it was too late!

Bai Yutang understood that Zhan Zhao was going to forcibly split the wall with his sword, so he handed Aunt Mei to Shen Yan to support him. Just as the two of them were about to swing their swords forcefully, they suddenly heard a "boom".

A big hole appeared in the wall, strong light came in, and everyone closed their eyes subconsciously.

At the same time, I heard a "squeak" cry from outside, accompanied by a crisp shout from a distance, "Meow, come out for nothing!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were overjoyed, they saw that the stone and scissors had torn apart the stone wall.

Scissors leaped into the water, biting two water snakes approaching Zhan Zhao.He raised his head and slammed it against the wall... The two snakes fell unconscious immediately.

Snakes are venomous, but civets are even more venomous.These two things are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. Snakes and insects are most afraid of the clawed civet, so they stopped biting and fled along the cave.

Shi Shi swam over, disappeared for a long time, and rubbed against Zhan Zhao twice.

Zhan Zhao was pleasantly surprised to see it, patted it on the head, pushed the injured Aunt Mei onto its back, asked Shen Yan to support it, and Shi Shi quickly led the two back to swim.Those navy generals all swam out, there was already a vast ocean outside, Zhao Pu and his big ship were waiting not far away.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao threw the unconscious Tang Qingsong onto the scissors' back, and they grabbed its back.

Jianzi quickly led the crowd back, and Jiang Pingping saw that the two were fine, so he quickly put down the rope to rescue them.

After boarding the boat, Gongsun hurriedly asked Aunt Mei, who was seriously injured and unconscious, to be brought into the cabin for treatment.

"Old Five!" Xu Qingfei rushed over and pulled Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao to check. Seeing that the two of them had no injuries, they finally felt relieved, and hurriedly let them into the house to take a hot bath and drink ginger soup to change their clothes.

Jiang Ping saw that the demon city kept sinking, so he turned his head and shouted to the rear, "Hurry up! Hurry up! There will be a vortex when the whole thing sinks, and we will be sucked into it if we don't go far!"

The boatmen hurriedly adjusted the sails and sailed towards the distance with all their strength.

But on the shore at this time, the yamen of Songjiang Mansion had already followed Zhao Pu's earlier order to organize hundreds of thousands of residents to take out their sacks, fill them with sand, and build a long dam on the bank to prevent the seawater from flowing back.

As the demon city slowly descended, multiple eddies appeared on the water surface, and the bodies of those dead generals floating on the sea, including the demon ship moored in the inner harbor, were all sucked into the deep sea, accompanied by Together with the huge monster treasures, they were forever buried in the dark seabed.

After Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao washed up, they changed their clothes and walked out of the cabin. What they saw was that the sea gradually returned to calm. Without the barrier of the demon city, the sea looked more open.

The sea level did rise a bit, but because the dam was built in time and the inner structure of the demon city was hollow, it did not cause a big tsunami.Soon, the sea level returned to its original height, and Zhao Pu's boat also docked amid the cheers of the crowd.
