At that time, I didn't know that Tao Xiyu had reached the point of panic and focused all his attention on the secret room.
There was nothing else in the entire secret room except rows of empty bookshelves. It looked like an archive that had been emptied. I walked along the bookshelves twice before finding the last row of bookshelves. I found a pair of white bones lying on the ground at the edge.
Before that person was alive, someone should have used iron nails to pass through his ankles, put two iron ropes around him alive, and tied him to the wall of the secret room. Judging from the length of the iron ropes, this person could move freely near the last row of bookshelves.
Is this man not a prisoner
No, it should be said: He is a prisoner who is not a prisoner.
He should have been imprisoned in the secret room. The elder who was responsible for guarding the secret room and delivering the secret files in the room. Probably no one except him could see all the secret files.
I squatted down and tried to gently move the bones with a knife a few times, and then I saw that the hand bones of a corpse were scattered on the last floor of the bookshelf.
I tried to lie down next to the corpse and took a look into the bookshelf, and saw an iron bracelet. Before dying, the corpse must have planned to activate a mechanism hidden under the bookshelf, but the engine was turned off before it could. , and his spine was broken.
Just as I was about to get up, out of the corner of my eye I saw three words "The Classic of All Things" written in blood on the back of the bookshelf.
Is there indeed the "Wanxiang Sutra" here? Could it be that the three-eyed tribulation back then came from the "Sutra of All Things"
According to my previous inference, a large number of Three-Eyed Tribe people once gathered in this secret realm. This secret room should have been the core of the secret realm at that time.
It seems now that the first thing those who broke into the secret room at that time snatched was the Book of All Things
If they had not been fully prepared at the time, they would never have put the opponent to death before the guardian elder activated the mechanism.
I stood up and took two steps into the secret room: "Xi Yu, you go out first."
Tao Xiyu, who had long wanted to stay in the secret room, turned around and slipped out, but I sat down in the secret room.
Just a few seconds later, Chu Hanyan's voice came from outside: "Wang Huan, what did you find?"
"A mechanism!" I said solemnly: "A mechanism for gambling on life. This mechanism can destroy the secret room, and maybe it can also allow us to get out. I want to bet on it again."
Chu Hanyan was silent for a moment before saying, "Let me go in and take a look."
"No!" I said coldly: "If you dare to come in, I will shut down the engine immediately. You can try. Will we all perish together?"
"Wang Huan... you are not qualified..." Before Chu Hanyan could finish his words, I had already reached out and pulled the mechanism iron ring under the bookshelf. Fire suddenly ignited under all the bookshelves at the same time, and the raging fire immediately rushed to the top of the bookshelves, and the entire secret room instantly turned into a sea of fire.
The moment the flames started to rise from the room, I withdrew and retreated outside. It wasn't until I rushed to the door that I saw Chu Hanyan's face turned pale and bloodless due to anger: "Wang Huan, you, you..."
I said coldly: "I have never been threatened by others. Now, what else do you want to do?"
As soon as I finished speaking, the light in the secret realm suddenly increased several times. The entire secret realm seemed to be shrouded in incandescent lights in an instant. It was impossible to see clearly what was in front of me without using my hands to block it.
In just a few seconds, a billowing heat wave suddenly hit from outside. At that moment, I even felt that every inch of the air seemed to have flames beating crazily. The whole secret place seemed to have fallen into a lava hell. Everything on the ground sank into the scorching heat.
Chu Hanyan screamed: "Wang Huan, what did you do?"
I was too lazy to pay attention to Chu Hanyan, stretched out my hand to push him away, and jumped to the first floor of the secret realm. This time, I didn't even need to open my eyes to see dozens of evil ghosts, rolling and struggling in the heat wave, creaking and screaming. He screamed and ran towards the cells around the hall, trying his best to dig into the mountain of corpses in the prison.
When I looked up, the roof of the forbidden area was completely covered by a ball of fire that looked like a scorching sun. Not only was the entire ceiling burned into a red color, but the scorching sun with dancing flames seemed to be pressing down on the bottom of the tower. .
I clearly feel that the air in the secret realm is being evacuated by the flames at an alarming speed. If this continues, even if we are not burned to ashes by the fire falling from the sky, we will be suffocated to death here.
Chu Hanyan exclaimed: "Wang Huan, you did a good job!"
I stood in the center of the secret room with my hands behind my back and said, "Wake Ye Xun and the others up, and I'll tell you how to leave the secret room."
"No!" Chu Hanyan said sternly: "You tell me how to get out first, otherwise..."
"Then let's die together!" I simply closed my eyes and didn't even look at Chu Hanyan.
"Wang Huan..." As Chu Hanyan stamped his feet, I felt as if the temperature in the room suddenly rose a few degrees. In just a few seconds, the skin on my hands turned dark red, and a burning pain suddenly arose. .
I have slowed down my breathing as much as possible, but I still feel like a ball of fire has been stuffed into my chest, and I wish I could tear open my chest to release the heat.
Chu Hanyan finally couldn't help it anymore: "Zimo, wake them up quickly."
Su Zimo stretched out his hand and wiped it under the noses of Ye Xun and Xia Qingqing before quickly retreating to his own camp.
Ye Xun and Xia Qingqing woke up quickly. I pointed to the cell door next to me and said, "The way out is in the prison. You can find it yourself!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I grabbed Tao Xiyu's hand and rushed to one of the cells. I waved my long knife and swept the mountains of corpses to the left and right. Between the layers of bones falling to the ground, the mountains of corpses were finally exposed. A round ball.
My first bet was right.
From the beginning, I felt that this secret realm was an altar where the Three-Eyed Tribe worshiped God or performed some mysterious ritual.
It wasn't until the "sun" I saw appeared in the sky that I understood.
Although there is an even number of cells at the bottom of the secret realm, the sizes of several of them are obviously inconsistent. In other words, there may not have been cells here at the beginning, or there may not have been so many cells built. That was the result of someone's subsequent renovation.
Moreover, the bones in the cell clearly showed traces of intentional stacking. Even if the murderer who massacred the Three-Eyed Tribe deliberately stacked the bones into a shape similar to that of Jingguan, after countless years, those Jingguan should have been there as early as After the body decomposes, it gradually collapses and cannot always maintain its original image.
Only by sorting out the corpses regularly can such a perfectly preserved mountain of corpses appear. That was, someone was using the mountain of corpses to cover up something.
It wasn't until I pushed away the mountain of corpses and saw the ball under the bones that I realized that the Three-Eyed Clan had created the "Nine-Star Continent" under the secret realm.
The so-called "Nine Stars in a Link" means nine stars connected in a straight line. According to ancient legends, when the "Nine Stars in a Link" appear, there must be a strange phenomenon between heaven and earth.
If my guess is correct, once the scorching sun in the secret realm sets, the "planets" hidden in the nine cells will move accordingly. Perhaps you can escape from the secret room by hiding among the nine stars.
I roared angrily: "Tao Xiyu, look quickly, is there any mechanism up here?"
As soon as Tao Xiyu lowered his head, Chu Hanyan shouted sharply: "Tao Xiyu, don't do anything, just retreat to the back."
Tao Xiyu, who had lowered his head, suddenly stood up straight and walked backwards without squinting.
Chu Hanyan sneered and said: "Wang Huan, do you think I can't do anything to Tao Xiyu after she breaks free from the secret technique of charming souls? No one has ever been able to escape from the control of the Fox Clan. As long as I want to do it, anyone will become We slaves.”
"Tao Xiyu!" I screamed and moved forward, but Tao Xiyu suddenly pulled out a gun and pointed it at the top of my head.
Chu Hanyan stepped back and said: "Wang Huan, I still say what I said, agree to my conditions, and I will let you out. Otherwise, you will wait to be buried in the secret realm with them, right?"
When I glanced at Chu Hanyan from the corner of my eye, I quietly reached out to Magnum.
Someone on Chu Hanyan's side had already opened the ball in the cell. Chu Hanyan finally had time to retreat to the edge of the ball: "Wang Huan, you don't care about your own life or death, you don't care about Ye Xun's life or death, don't you also care about Tao Xiyu's life and death? You Doesn't your heart hurt at all when you see Tao Xiyu being burned alive to ashes in front of you?"
I didn't even need to think about Tao Xiyu struggling in the fire, I felt an unbearable pain in my heart, and I couldn't help but put my hand on my chest.
Chu Hanyan has already stepped one foot into the ball: "Wang Huan, things in this world can often only be decided once. No matter what decision you make, you should think about whether you will regret it in the future, right?"
Chu Hanyan's voice suddenly dropped: "Wang Huan, look at Ye Xun's arrow pointing at me. You may be able to kill me in a short time, but do you dare to bet that Tao Xiyu will continue to maintain his position after I die? In this state of not letting strangers in, will you still wake up and go out with you?"
Chu Hanyan smiled: "There is a 50% chance in front of you. Do you want to take a gamble?"
"Ye Xun, put the arrow away!" I suddenly turned around and pointed my gun at Ye Xun's chest.
Ye Xun looked at me in disbelief: "What are you doing? I am..."
"Shut up, shut up... I asked you to put away the arrows, did you hear me!" I couldn't see my own eyes, but I could also feel that my eyes had turned blood red.
Ye Xun took a deep breath and slowly put down the crossbow. But I shouted angrily: "Throw the arrow away, as far away as possible."
After Ye Xun threw the arrow far away in response, Chu Hanyan covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Look, what did I say? You can't bear to leave Tao Xiyu, right? You are about to run out of time. In ten seconds, I don't care if you If you swear, you will turn around and leave. Think about it! You only have ten seconds."
"No! I swear!" I could feel tears rolling back and forth in my eyes: "What do you want me to do?"
