"Found it!" With a surprised voice, Gong Shuqiu immediately reached out and pressed on the wall under Jiang Chen's gaze. Suddenly, a soft "click" sound was heard, and the mechanism was activated instantly. There was only a "rumbling" sound, and the adjacent wall suddenly shook. After a while, a gap opened in the dusty sky, and then gradually expanded to form a portal.
"My hero, this is the secret passage leading to the core of the forbidden area." Looking at the mechanism portal he opened, Gong Shuqiu quickly pointed at the narrow corridor behind the portal that could only accommodate one person to pass through and said flatteringly.
"Huh?" Jiang Chen glanced at Gong Shuqiu and immediately responded calmly: "You go in first." It wasn't that he deliberately concealed his identity, but because he knew that in such a situation, even if he revealed his identity, He couldn't achieve 100% trust between the two parties, so he didn't bother to waste words.
"Okay, I'll take the first step." Gongshuqiu had obviously expected this situation, so after hearing Jiang Chen's words, he just said hello and walked in first. Jiang Chen Chen followed closely behind him, always keeping three steps away.
This is a very subtle distance. It not only gives Gong Shuqiu ample space to escape, but also gives him an invisible shock, telling him silently that you can't escape!
Gongshuqiu obviously knew this, so on the road, he tried his best to maintain absolute humility and led the way honestly. The size of his steps varied, sometimes walking slowly, sometimes advancing rapidly, and sometimes stepping forward. He took a big step and sometimes moved little by little. Although Jiang Chen didn't deliberately observe it, his pace was always consistent with his, and nothing unexpected happened.
This situation continued until the two came to a corner. Gong Shuqiu, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped for a moment, and then continued to move forward. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the corner, he remained calm on the surface, but he couldn't help but feel excited in his heart: "Behind the corner, there is an active mechanism used by the Mo family to kill enemies. As soon as it is turned on, the entire line behind it will be destroyed." The passage will suddenly turn into a pit full of iron nails, and at the same time, the hidden arrow holes in the walls on both sides will be exposed. By then, thousands of arrows will be fired, and there will be no way to the sky and no door to the earth. Even if this guy's skill reaches the sky, it will be difficult for him to do so. To escape death, should I take this opportunity to get rid of him..."
"Gong Shuqiu, you'd better not play any tricks. Now, you are only three steps away from me. I can guarantee that even if the mechanism here is activated, I can kill you before you are attacked."
Just when Gong Shuqiu became more and more passionate and really started to plan to use the mechanism to eliminate the enemy in one fell swoop, after entering the corridor, Jiang Chen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly sneered and spoke, his words full of threats to kill, It seemed as if the surrounding air had solidified and frozen.
Just now, Gong Shuqiu's footsteps suddenly paused for a moment. Because of the short time, it might be difficult for ordinary people to notice this matter, but for a person with profound skills like Jiang Chen, it is as clear as looking at the lines on the palm of his hand. Let me ask, he How could he not know that the other party had already developed a different intention
"My hero, you are really joking. My life is still in your hands. How dare you play tricks." As if someone poured a bucket of cold water on his head in the middle of winter, Gong Shuqiu suddenly shuddered and stepped forward. He paused, did not look back, and answered with a forced smile before stepping forward again.
After Jiang Chen's words, he had temporarily given up the idea of taking the opportunity to get rid of Jiang Chen. Although he didn't know whether Jiang Chen's words were true or false, he only had one life. He couldn't afford to gamble, and he didn't want to gamble. , Besides, now that Jiang Chen is on guard, even if his engine is turned off, what are the chances of success
He doesn't know the other party's true identity, the depth of his strength, or what kind of magical powers he has. The unknown enemy will always be the most terrifying existence in the world!
This is also the reason why Jiang Chen suppressed his identity and said it, because in this space where there are only two people, any identity such as the imperial minister is false, and only strength is the basis for everything.
The rest of the journey was as peaceful as ever, with nothing happening. Jiang Chen and Gong Shuqiu successfully crossed the corridor and arrived at a rather spacious stone room.
The stone chamber was lined with torches, which lit themselves up as the two arrived, illuminating the tall stone door at the end that was covered with inscriptions.
"Phosphorus powder that spontaneously ignites in the wind is not high-tech." Looking at the torches that ignited by themselves, there was no look of surprise on Jiang Chen's face. It wasn't until the two of them walked to the stone gate one after another that he asked calmly: "This Is the core secret room of the forbidden area behind?"
"Yes, behind this door is the core of the forbidden area. I will open the door right now." Gongshu Chou nodded and released Potu Qilang again and let him climb up the door. Within a moment, with a loud rumbling sound, the stone door opened a gap and moved to both sides, revealing a circular stone chamber behind it filled with gears and mechanisms.
"Now we have arrived at the core secret room of the forbidden area. There are only a bunch of gears here. How can we find the secret volume of the Mo family's mechanism?" As soon as he entered the secret room, Jiang Chen looked around. All he could see were rotating gears and no doorways. , couldn't help but turn around and ask Gong Shuqiu.
"Haha..." Gongshu Qiu quickly responded with a flattering smile on his face: "Don't worry, heroes, the passage leading to the secret volume of the mechanism is hidden. As long as you find the correct mechanism, you can Open."
Jiang Chen said in a deep voice: "Then why don't you hurry up?"
"Okay, okay, I'll look for it right away." Gong Shuqiu took out the scroll again, unfolded it and studied it carefully for a while, then looked at the rotating gears around him, rolled his eyes, and showed a weird smile at the corner of his mouth, and turned to Ao , said to Jiang Chen with a respectful look: "Okay, I have found the mechanism that opens the passage. The mechanism in this forbidden area is divided into six levels. The top ones are Tiger Leaping, Sarutobi, and Dragon Throat. After that, it is divided into two branches, one is the chivalrous path and the other is the kingly path. The end of the two paths is the last level, Shijue. Judging from the operation of the gears here, it seems that someone has just passed through the chivalrous path and the kingly path. On the way to Shijue."
"Ten Jue?" When Jiang Chen heard this, he couldn't help but frown. He knew that the people who had passed through the chivalrous way and the kingly way must be the three brats Tianming, Shaoyu and Gao Yue.
Gong Shuqiu quickly responded: "Ten Jue is the last level in the forbidden area, and it is also the most difficult level. The name itself means that there is no life, no way to survive. There are countless mechanisms inside, which are a hundred times more dangerous than the previous levels. And the secret scroll of the agency that you are looking for, hero, is hidden in the deepest part of the Ten Jue."
"In that case, why are you still blabbering here? Hurry up and close the mechanism and open the passage." Jiang Chen immediately said coldly: "You are a smart man. I believe you should know what you are doing. Don't take advantage of you." Playing with fire with your life.”
"Yes, yes, I will shut down all the mechanisms in the forbidden area first." After saying that, Gong Shuqiu took a few steps forward and reached out to one of the many wooden handles with a skull carved on it.
Jiang Chen saw this scene in his eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong, but for a moment, he couldn't remember it.
"Wait!" Seeing that Gong Shuqiu's hand was about to press on the mechanism, Jiang Chen finally came to his senses. Gong Shuqiu had always been smart and cunning. How could he trust his words
"Haha, it's too late!" Gong Shuqiu smiled proudly, and then he pressed down hard with his hand. There was a crisp "click" sound, and he pressed down the skull handle. Then, without stopping, his hand Then press another handle. This handle does not control the mechanisms in other levels, but the mechanisms in the core secret room. As soon as it is opened, a stone wall will fall from the upper part of the core chamber, separating the chamber. This stone wall is so tall and thick that even a top martial arts master would have difficulty breaking through it in a short time. When the time comes, he will naturally be able to retreat calmly.
"Gong, Shou, Chou." Jiang Chen shouted deeply, cold light burst out in his eyes, he took one step forward, moved in an instant, and rushed towards Gong Shou Chou. However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
