Di Ling's eyes lit up suddenly, but Xia Nuo's ears twitched slightly.
I don't know if it was his illusion, he seemed to hear the sound of water
Although it was very faint, it did resemble the sound of gurgling water, and the place where the sound came from... Xia Nuo looked towards the secret room in front of him.
The door of the secret room looks very heavy. I don't know what material it is made of, but it looks very strong.
There was no iron chain on the door, but when Di Ling hurried forward and tried to push the door open, he failed.
Reluctantly, she pushed again, but the door, which seemed not to be closed tightly, remained motionless.
"What's going on?!" She hammered down angrily, only to hear a muffled "bang", and her hands suddenly became red and swollen.
In fact, it can't be blamed for her being too irritable. After all, the treasure she dreamed of was right in front of her eyes, but she was blocked by the door of the secret room. With her temper, it's no wonder that she wasn't in a hurry.
And her original goal was the treasure inside. Ever since she learned of the existence of the Chamber of Secrets by chance, she has been planning to take the Duchess' treasure for herself.
But before, she could only think about it. After all, the duchess is not an easy character to deal with. Once she finds out that she covets her treasure, even if she is favored, she will not be easily let go.
But Di Ling didn't give up. She was not very favored at that time, and she was fed up with the Duchess' moody temper, and she had long planned to leave the castle and fly away.
But it's not easy to leave.
Di Ling had never seen the Duchess's pet leave the castle alive, so she could only keep the thought of leaving secretly in her heart, and never dared to say it out loud.
Until she learned of the existence of the Chamber of Secrets.
What she told Xia Nuo about the chamber of secrets was actually only part of it. There are not only treasures in the secret room, but also a one-way teleportation array that can only be used once, which can directly lead to the outside world.
Di Ling's plan was to escape through the teleportation array after stealing the treasure, and Xia Nuo was her shield to delay the pursuit of the soldiers.
If the Duchess thinks that Xia Nuo is a thief, that would be the best. The mermaid will definitely not watch her lover get caught, and will definitely stop her. Even if Xia Nuo wants to clarify herself, she still needs to find evidence, and she can use the extra time to go further afield.
If the Duchess didn't think Shano was a thief, it wouldn't hinder her plan.
However, according to Di Ling's understanding of the Duchess, the second possibility is extremely low, after all, she is not a reasonable person.
Although the plan sounds perfect, the first thing to do is to open the door of the secret room.
Although Di Ling knew that there were treasures and teleportation arrays in the secret room, he didn't know how to open the door, so he could only stop his hands resentfully, looking at the closed door and worrying.
"Let me try it." Xia Nuo said suddenly.
"You?" Di Ling let out a disdainful breath from his nose, but he still stepped aside a bit and let the boy stand beside her.
She originally planned to open the door violently, but it's okay to let the boy try.
But seeing Xia Nuo just knocking on the door, Di Ling became a little impatient, and urged: "You move faster, if it doesn't work, get out of the way."
After all, time was very precious to her, and she was ready to break down the door violently now, but this also has a disadvantage, that is, the movement is too loud, and it is easy to be noticed.
Xia Nuo ignored her, and just concentrated on groping for the protrusion on the door until he found a slight depression in the center of the totem along the lines of the protrusion, and then he pressed down hard.
"Hey, did you hear what I said..." The rest of the words stuck in his throat, and Di Ling was dumbfounded to see that the boy just fumbled for a while, and the door opened just like that!
How did he do that? !
Di Ling looked at Xia Nuo in disbelief, but couldn't bear to ask, so he pushed open the door as if nothing had happened, and walked into the secret room.
Xia Nuo followed behind her, feeling a little puzzled in his heart.
The reason why he was able to open the door just now was because he saw the huge totem flashing past the door by the light of the kerosene lamp.
The color of the totem is almost the same as the color of the gate, and you can't tell if you don't look carefully. Xia Nuo glanced at it, but suddenly remembered - he had seen that totem in the book "The Labyrinth of the Demon King".
The totem is the totem of the tree-human race. It looks like a moonlight tree, and the depression in the middle is where the fruit of the moonlight tree exists.
Unlike other trees, the fruits usually grow on the branches, but the fruits of the moonlight tree grow in the trunk.
A moonlight tree will only bear one fruit, and the place where it grows will form a depression, which is also faithfully reflected in the totem.
What I have to mention here is that because of this unique growth habit, it is extremely difficult to separate the fruit from the tree body. If the correct method is not mastered, the fruit will be broken inside and cannot be taken out again.
And this method is currently only known to the tree people.
Xia Nuo was also puzzled here, whether it was the totem on the door or the method to open the secret room, all clearly showed their connection with the tree people.
What does this secret room have to do with the Treants
The owner of the secret room is the duchess, and the duchess is a genuine mermaid, no matter how good the relationship between the mermaid and the treants is, she wouldn't use the totem of the treants in such an important place, would she
Or is the owner of the Chamber of Secrets not the Duchess at all
Xia Nuo couldn't figure it out, but at this moment, a small head popped out of the rose flower on his chest.
The head was only as big as Xia Nuo's finger, but the appearance was extremely familiar, with black hair and blue eyes, ears with translucent ear fins, exactly like a mermaid.
The mermaid got out from the boy's chest, grabbed the index finger extended by the boy, and rubbed it against his cheek gently, as if expressing comfort to the boy.
Xia Nuo froze for a moment, feeling the cold and smooth touch on his index finger, couldn't help pressing a little harder on the little mermaid's face.
Soft... Xia Nuo said with emotion.
The mermaid has not simply shrunk in size, its body has also been young, so the current mermaid is a mermaid with round eyes and a chubby face.
Once the mermaid was hatched, most of the original sense of aggression disappeared immediately. Looking at his movements, Xia Nuo actually felt a little cute.
I have to say that once something becomes smaller, its cuteness is immediately revealed.
Looking at such a mermaid, Xia Nuo was able to let him lie on his chest without any qualms, unlike before, he felt embarrassed whenever he came into contact with the mermaid.
The little mermaid flicked his tail—yes, he also returned to the form of a mermaid—and exposed his soft belly to Xia Nuo without any pressure.
Xia Nuo looked a little funny, he temporarily put aside his original doubts, and instead of rubbing his white belly as the mermaid expected, he gently pushed him back into the rose flower.
"Be careful not to be discovered," he whispered.
Yes, that was the man's original idea, that is, he followed Xia Nuo in this form. Because of his small size, it was unlikely to attract Di Ling's attention.
The mermaid shrank back angrily.
At this point they had entered the secret room—no, it couldn't be called a secret room anymore.
As soon as he walked in, what Xia Nuo saw was a long underground river flowing quietly. The faint sound of water flow he heard before entering the secret room should have come from here.
The color of the river was dark, and Xia Nuo seemed to see some small white spots in the distance, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
However, he raised his vigilance because of this. He intuitively felt that the river was not as calm as it appeared.
"Treasure!" Di Ling exclaimed at this moment.
In the middle of the river, there was an old big ship, which was filled with large and small boxes and piles of gold and silver coins. Their flickering light seemed so dazzling to Di Ling.
The connection between the big boat and the shore was a thick iron cable, and Di Ling couldn't see anything else in his eyes, so he rushed to the boat first.
Xia Nuo hesitated for a moment before stepping on the iron rope.
The iron chain is only a few tens of centimeters wide, probably suspended over the river for many years, and there is still a layer of slippery water vapor on it, and Xia Nuo wears high heels, making walking extremely inconvenient.
When he walked carefully to the big ship, Di Ling had already started searching for treasures.
"Is the necklace on this boat?"
Taking advantage of Di Ling's focus on the treasure, Xia Nuo lowered his head and asked in a low voice.
The mermaid poked his head out from his chest, revealing half of his body. He felt it carefully and pointed his finger in one direction.
Xia Nuo walked in that direction, and under the guidance of the mermaid, he found a reddish-brown box. When he opened it, he saw a necklace with a ring similar to the mermaid's previous description.
Xia Nuo put the necklace away, looked at Di Ling, who was frantically filling a space prop with treasure, and said, "The necklace has been found, so I'm leaving first."
"Wait a minute!" Di Ling subconsciously stopped.
It just so happened that her space props were already full, she stood up, pretended to look around casually, and then saw the faintly glowing teleportation array at the entrance of the secret room.
Her eyeballs rolled around a few times, hiding her malicious expression, and said, "I've already packed it up, let's stay together."
Xia Nuo didn't say anything, but secretly raised his vigilance in his heart. Di Ling stepped onto the iron chain ahead of him, and walked quickly to the shore. At this time, Xia Nuo was still in the middle of the iron chain.
"Goodbye." Di Ling waved at the young man, unable to hide his malice any longer, a big smile appeared on his face, and then -- kicked on the iron chain.
The iron chain was already very tight, and when it was hit by a sudden external force, it couldn't help shaking violently. It was very difficult for Xia Nuo to maintain his balance. With such a shake, his feet became unsteady and he fell headfirst into the water.
Watching the boy fall into the water helplessly, Di Ling burst out laughing.
This approach came to her suddenly when she saw the iron chain.
If the boy can't swim, it's best to drown. Even if the boy could swim, the place where he fell into the water was still a long way from the shore, and it would take a while to swim over, and she would have left long ago.
Imagining the scene of a teenager struggling in the cold river, Di Ling felt that her long-standing hatred and pain had been relieved. She walked towards the teleportation array while smiling, and the bright white light engulfed her figure.
However, Xia Nuo's situation is not as bad as Di Ling imagined.
He really doesn't know how to swim very well, and it is difficult for him to swim from the middle of the river to the bank. But he is carrying a powerful plug-in.
The mermaid emerged from the river with the boy in his arms, and looked at the teleportation array with extremely cold eyes.
