C10 A Chance Encounter with an Old Friend

The situation seemed to be getting worse.

Tang Hao and Tang Hao originally thought that they could avoid the danger of the giant rock by running to the corner in front of them. They never thought that when they turned the corner, it would actually be a wall with no corners at all. First, he used the Wall-Hitting Ghost to confuse them, then he activated the boulder mechanism, causing the newcomer to mistake the fact that he would be fine if he reached the original corner. In reality, he was forcing them to the point of certain death.

At this moment, other than turning around to face the huge rock, there was nothing else he could do. Tang Hao did not give up and turned around to stand in front of the Village Head. He exhaled loudly and his hands turned into fists as he fought against the huge rocks. The village chief did not stay idle either. He drew his treasured blade and brandished it at the incoming boulder.

Unfortunately, its manpower was truly limited. Even a full-powered strike from the two of them was unable to stop the boulder. It could only barely block it.

At this critical moment, Tang Hao and Wu Tie, who were already ready to die, suddenly shouted, "Five Elements Secret Art, break!" Hearing this voice, a hint of surprise flashed across the Village Head's face. The owner of this voice was too familiar to him, it was the white clothed old man in the village, Qiang. Following Qiang's incantation, a cracking sound came from the inside of the huge rock. Tang Hao and Wu Tie felt that the rock's impact force was gradually decreasing. Feeling ecstatic, they added a bit more strength to their hands. Not too long after, the massive boulder was reduced to a pile of rubble.

After the crisis, Tang Hao and Tang Hao were panting heavily. Seeing that, Qiang hurriedly rushed over and said: "Are you alright? How did you meet this thing? "When I came here to chase him, I realized that there were traces of ghosts hitting the walls. What's going on?"

The village chief waved his hand, "Don't talk about this for now. Why did you suddenly come over? Is the village alright? "

Qiang nodded his head, "The village is fine now. Someone from the county has come to help, and the wolves have been dispersed. Bao personally brought some people here. He told me that you might have a blood disaster under the underground palace, so I hurried over here. "

When the Village Chief heard this, he was extremely surprised, "That guy Bao, he can actually calculate this now? Why didn't he come with you? "

Qiang said, "He came down to take a look and then went back. He still has things to take care of in the county, so he gave me a map when he left and told me to tell you not to force anything."

When the Village Head heard this, his expression became gloomy and he lowered his head without saying a word. When Tang Hao heard the conversation between the two of them, he couldn't stop talking. Seeing that the village chief had fallen silent, he didn't dare to say anything else and quietly rested on the side. He didn't know what the Village Head was thinking, but now was not the time to be in a daze. He quickly said, "Long, look at this map. I think after we have it, our trip to the underground palace will be a lot smoother."

The village chief took the map and looked at it carefully, saying, "It's useless, I've seen this map before. The village chief took the map and looked at it carefully, saying," It's useless, I've seen this map.

Before he could say anything, the village head pointed to the map and said, "Look, this is our current location. This map shows that this is a passage right, but now, this is a dead end. It's obvious that this map is deliberately used to deceive explorers like us."

Seeing the Village Head list the facts, Qiang had no choice but to believe that this map is fake. He scratched his head and said, "Then what do we do now? To continue the exploration or to return back the way we came? "

The Village Chief thought for a moment and said, "Since we're already here, there's no need to be so timid. We might as well go all the way to the bottom and see what other traps are waiting for us in this underground palace!"

When Tang Hao and Qiang heard this, they did not have any objections. Since they were already here, they were here to give it a try. After a short break, the three of them set out to explore the underground palace. Of course, they would first have to return to the fork in the road.

After walking for a while, they returned to the fork in the road. This time, they did not hesitate and directly chose another path. Other than this path, there did not seem to be a third path for them to consider.

This time, there were murals on the walls of the passageway as well, but the murals in the passageway were very different. Last time, they did not understand the murals at all, and this time, the murals seemed to be describing a story about concocting pills. Looking at the murals, the three of them felt that the choice this time was the right one, at least the murals could understand it. With this thought in mind, the three of them intentionally or unintentionally sped up their pace, hoping to find the legendary treasure as soon as possible.

In fact, the right path was the right one, but who would say that choosing the right one would allow them to walk unhindered? I don't think there is such a rule in this underground palace. On this unknown path, there are still mechanisms awaiting their arrival.

As time passed, they continued to push their way into the depths of the underground palace. As they walked, they arrived at a gate. The gate was open, and it was impossible to see anything clearly through it. When this happened, Tang Hao looked at Qiang and said, "Uncle Qiang, please cast a spell. See if it can illuminate the situation for us to see what's going on inside."

Qiang shook his head: "I am not that mysterious. I am only able to learn the basics of the Five Elements Secret Art, and I am still unable to use the fire Secret Art. Don't think that I am that mysterious."

The Village Chief waved his hand. "Let's go. No matter what is ahead, let's go in first. We're already here. Is it because it's too dark inside?"

With that said, they no longer lingered at the door. Immediately, Tang Hao led the way and entered the pitch-black room.

Upon seeing this, the three of them had a bad premonition, as if they had really agreed with Bao's prophecy, that the Village Head's trip to the underground palace this time was truly a bloody disaster. First it was the Blood Python, then it was the Wall-Hitting Ghost, and now there was a sealed secret chamber, this trip to the underground palace was really too twisted and winding.

In this silent environment, the three of them were at a loss of what to do. The Village Chief turned on the flashlight and looked around, the house was empty, there was nothing, not even an exit, it was too strange. Before he could say anything, he could only hear 'ka ka' sounds coming from the surrounding walls, as if some sort of mechanism had been activated.

After about ten seconds, the cracking sound stopped, and the real danger began to descend upon them. The surrounding walls were constantly shooting short arrows at the center, and although there was only a flashlight illuminating the room, it was not hard to tell just from the sound of the wind. The surroundings were definitely filled with short arrows, and in the time it took for a spark to fly off of flint, the village chief and Wu Tie turned into agile people who were resisting and dodging the attack of the short arrows while Qiang chanted an incantation. At this moment, in the face of such a sudden crisis, the three of them could truly be said to have displayed all sorts of abilities.

Just when they thought the mechanism was only mediocre, a change occurred. At this moment, the three of them were astonished beyond belief. This was too miraculous, looking at the level of decay of the walls and tunnels, this underground palace had to be at least five hundred years old. What kind of fuel could last five hundred years and still burn? It was really unimaginable, but there was no time for them to think. The short arrow Tang Hao and the village head could still withstand it, but there was nothing they could do about it, and Qiang was there too. The three of them squeezed into the wall that Qiang used the Secret Art to summon, barely escaping the fire attack.

It was as if the wall was trying to increase the intensity of this abnormal mental state. After the fire, the wall gradually started to compress from all directions towards the center. It was not very fast, but was the type of extremely slow movement that would cause the ground to make 'ka ka' sounds. Seeing this situation, Tang Hao and the other two were extremely scared. They could dodge shooting short arrows or even spitting fire, but how could they dodge this time if they wanted to kill someone? This time, it was even more difficult to deal with than the previous chase. It was possible that he wouldn't be able to handle it at all.

After all, everyone was afraid of death, but in this crisis, he could still calmly observe the surrounding walls and look for the mechanism's switch. After all, this underground palace was built by the ancient people, so even if there were many traps, there would always be an activation device. As long as he found the activation device, he should be able to stop this mechanism. Tang Hao was not the only one with this thought. The Village Head and Qiang also had the same idea. The three of them looked at each other and immediately understood what everyone was thinking.

Tang Hao carefully looked at the wall. Gradually, he found that the wall seemed to be moving, but in reality, only the walls on both sides of the wall were moving, and the other walls were not moving at all. After finding this, Tang Hao focused on the wall that was not moving.

As time passed, the space became smaller and smaller. Just when the Village Head and Qiang were starting to feel numb, Tang Hao's voice sounded, "Village Head, I've found the mechanism." After speaking, Tang Hao pressed his right hand down heavily onto the wall.
