C30 A Secret Chamber

Those people looked like they were sharpening their knives and were about to pounce on Tao Yao and the others.

Tao Yao was grabbed by a tall man and lifted up. Her eyes flashed with a bright light. She didn't look sleepy at all. She took out a knife from her space and threw it at the man's feet with all her strength. With an "Ah!", Tao Yao fell to the ground. The tall man carried her feet and jumped around.

The others no longer cared about the unconscious person and pounced on Tao Yao fiercely.

Tao Yao's figure was nimble. She dodged left and right with the Babao. As she ran, she flung the vines in her hands backwards. The group of people were caught off guard and were hit. They let out miserable screams.

When the strong man who sat in front of the iron pot and gave orders saw this, he cursed and stood up to chase after Tao Yao. He sent out a few ice blades at Tao Yao.

Tao Yao's hands were unable to withstand four fists. Although she wasn't caught, she was injured. Blood flowed from her arms. She could only grit her teeth and run desperately. In the end, Tao Yao panicked and escaped to a shabby ancestral hall. She crouched under the table and trembled.

"There's no one here."

"There's no one here either."

"Go, continue looking. I don't believe she can go up and down. Fifth Bro, go to the ancestral hall."

"Yes."

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. With a creaking sound, Fifth Bro pushed open the door.

He, he was about to find him.

Thump, thump, thump. Tao Yao felt as if her heart was about to jump out. Her legs were so weak that she didn't have any strength left. Her body involuntarily shrank backwards.

Kacha! It was as if Tao Yao had touched something. The space behind her was empty, and she fell backwards. She was terrified and tried her best to suppress the scream that was about to rush out of her throat.

At the same time, Fifth Brother came in and walked around, but he didn't find Tao Yao. However, he found a few suspicious blood stains under the table. Just as he was about to dig down and investigate, he heard a loud sound.

"Fifth Brother, come out quickly. Boss has something to talk to you about." A shout came from outside the door.

Fifth Brother could not help but get up and walk out. He thought, "Maybe Tao Yao just passed by here and has already escaped somewhere else."

At the same time, Tao Yao rolled down a three-meter-tall staircase and fell into a dark place. The Babao in her arms had also disappeared. Tao Yao whispered, "Babao, Babao, where are you?"

"Woof, woof!" Babao jumped out from behind Tao Yao and rubbed against her.

In the dark house, other than the light breathing sounds, it was completely silent. Tao Yao couldn't help but hug Babao tightly and shrink back uneasily. She supported herself with the wall behind her and stood up with a trembling body.

With a kacha sound, Tao Yao didn't know what she touched. The lights on both sides of the house lit up. The circuits might have been damaged for a long time, so the lights were either bright or dark. It looked eerie and terrifying.

The sound of something being scratched came from behind Tao Yao, scaring her to the point that she almost jumped up. She turned around abruptly and found that it was the sound of a dagger on the wall. She couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

However, her eyes couldn't help but be attracted by the dagger. What kind of dagger was that?

The hilt of the sword was embedded with a dazzling ruby, and the blade was completely silver. The streamlined structure was perfect. From afar, Tao Yao could feel its sharpness.

Hearing it carefully, it seemed to be making a buzzing sound as if it was ready to break through the wall at any time and return to its former glory.

Tao Yao stepped forward and grabbed the hilt of the sword, wanting to pull it out. However, even if she used all her strength, the dagger did not move at all. It was still firmly inserted into the wall.

Tao Yao could only reluctantly look at the dagger and turn around to leave. Although the dagger was good, it was not necessary.

The house was revealed under the dim light. It was not very big, and one could see the end of it with a glance. The house was empty, and there was only a long wooden table at the end of the house. On the wall behind the table was a portrait. On it was a beautiful woman in ancient clothes. She stood in the midst of flowers, smiling sweetly, and taking light steps, as if she was about to walk out of the picture scroll.

However, to be honest, Tao Yao was a little disappointed. There shouldn't be any martial arts secret manuals, elixirs, gold, silver, and treasures here. Didn't they all act like this on TV?

Tao Yao lost interest after taking a glance. She walked absent-mindedly to the staircase. Hsiao Yu and the others were still in the hands of the bullies. She was worried and had to leave quickly.

With a thud, Tao Yao was knocked down by something. She fell down on her back, and the pain made her cry. She angrily lowered her head, wanting to see what it was that caused her to fall down.

Tao Yao looked down and found a gray stone in the middle of the road. No wonder she fell down. She rubbed her butt and stood up, angrily kicking the stone away. The stone hit the protruding part of the painting, but Tao Yao didn't notice that the woman in the painting's hair was floating and her sleeves were lightly waving. She was about to walk down from the painting.

With a clang, the wooden table at the end of the hall suddenly sank. An ancient wooden box with a diameter of ten cubic centimeters floated in the air, and the dagger in the wall made a buzzing sound as it flew towards the lock of the wooden box.

Tao Yao was shocked by this sudden change.

"Yaoyao, quick, that box, I want that box." The Miaomiao that she hadn't seen in a long time was jumping in the space. Her voice was urgent, and she wanted to come out of the space and take the box away herself.

"Don't worry, don't worry. I know, I will do my best." Tao Yao comforted Miaomiao in her mind.

"It's not that I want to do my best, it's that I have to do it." Miaomiao looked around in the space, her voice serious.

Tao Yao threw out the wooden stick. Just as she was about to take the wooden box over, an accident happened. The classical beauty actually walked down from the painting and blocked Tao Yao's vine.

"Hello, I am Tao Yao. If you want this wooden box, I can give it to you, but you have to do me a favor." A clear and melodious female voice sounded beside her ear.

"What favor?"

"Help me bring something to my clansmen."

"This is the end of the world. I don't know if I can find your clansmen." Tao Yao scratched her head and said in distress.

"It will give you a hint to bring you to my clansmen." The classical beauty looked at Tao Yao with a smile and took out a transparent bead the size of a fist from her sleeve.

"Oh, right, there is also a map. Let me look for it." The ancient beauty said as half of her body went back into the painting, and she started to search with her butt.

Tao Yao was dumbfounded. She wanted to say, "Beauty, your image has jumped."

Not long after, the classical beauty happily stretched her body and shouted, "I found it. So it's here."

The classical beauty looked at Tao Yao's stunned expression and felt that her image had jumped. She tidied her clothes slightly and smiled at Tao Yao, explaining, "I am not like this usually."

Tao Yao smiled awkwardly and politely.
