Chapter 309: Secret Room Crisis

309

Tang Yue frowned slightly as she felt a strong current surge through the cliff face. She didn't mind it, but she knew it would make it extremely difficult for Gu Yanxi and the others to climb.

At the same time, some loose rocks on the cliff were blown down by the wind and fell towards them.

Gu Yanxi was quick-witted and swift-handed, quickly drawing his dagger and blasting away the flying rocks one by one. Tang Yue, on the other hand, used her spiritual power to form a transparent shield around herself and Gu Yanxi, blocking the flying debris.

The second-in-command was so frightened that his face turned pale. He clung tightly to the cliff wall, not daring to move. What was going on? He had never encountered such a thing when he followed the boss here before.

This looks so dangerous. Will he lose his life here?

"Don't be afraid, follow me!" Tang Yue turned back and said to the Second In Command. Then, she increased her spiritual power output and quickly climbed up with Gu Yanxi and the Second In Command. Under Tang Yue's guidance, they finally successfully reached the top of the cliff.

The second-in-command suppressed the fear and admiration in his heart and brought Tang Yue and the others to a huge cave. The entrance of the cave was partially blocked by a huge stone, and a faint flickering light could be seen inside.

The second in command walked forward and pressed a groove on the stone. There was a loud "boom" and the stone slowly moved to the side, revealing a spacious hole.

Walking into the treasure room, an old and mysterious atmosphere hits you. It is filled with all kinds of treasures, gold, silver and jewelry piled up like mountains, and the dazzling light makes it almost impossible to open your eyes.

Tang Yue's attention was attracted by an object emitting a soft blue light. She walked forward, gently picked up the object, and found that it was an ancient bronze mirror.

The edge of this bronze mirror is engraved with strange runes, but the surface is as smooth as a mirror and can clearly reflect a person's face.

Tang Yue examined the bronze mirror carefully, feeling a strange sense of familiarity. She felt that the mirror seemed to have some connection with the place she came from. Gu Yanxi also came over, looked at the bronze mirror and said, "This bronze mirror looks unusual. Perhaps it has some special origin."

Tang Yue nodded and carefully put the bronze mirror away. Then, she found a small jade box among the treasures. The box was engraved with exquisite dragon patterns that looked lifelike.

Tang Yue gently opened the jade box, revealing a bead emitting colorful light. Indistinct runes flowed on the surface of the bead, as if it contained endless power.

"This is..." Tang Yue couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement. The Second in Command explained, "Master, we salvaged this bead from an ancient merchant ship on the seabed. We don't know what it is, but the boss said it might be an ancient artifact. Hehe, but we're not sure what it's used for."

Tang Yue chuckled and picked up the bead. She hadn't expected such an opportunity. She was missing a crucial item from her space materials, and she hadn't expected to find it here.

Feeling the warmth it radiated, Tang Yue was filled with curiosity. Could this be fate? She couldn't figure it out, so she gave up. She put the bead into her storage space and continued searching for other treasures in the treasure room.

In a corner, Tang Yue found an ancient book. The cover of the book was worn out, but the words on it were still clearly legible.

Tang Yue gently flipped open the book, which contained some records about ancient cultivation methods and mysterious spells, as well as some clues about mysterious relics. The more Tang Yue read, the more fascinated she became. She didn't expect that the pirates had so many good treasures here.

This ancient book might have really been retrieved from that small world. It was a priceless treasure. It would also be of great help to her cultivation and exploration of the unknown.

"It seems that we have gained a lot this time." Tang Yue said to Gu Yanxi with a smile.

Gu Yanxi could see that Tang Yue was really happy at this moment, and he nodded in agreement. He looked at the mountains of treasures around him and couldn't help but sigh at Tang Yue's good luck.

But he had no desire to covet them. Frankly speaking, if he had come here, he would have been a corpse by now. These were not things he should covet. Besides, he didn't have much feeling for these material possessions.

He just didn't know what Tang Yue would do. He would respect her choice.

Just as Tang Yue was immersed in the joy of treasure hunting, suddenly, a low roar came from the treasure room, and the ground began to shake violently. Tang Yue raised an eyebrow, realizing that the situation was not good.

"There's a trap!" she said softly, quickly pulling Gu Yanxi and the second in command towards the cave entrance. Out of sight of them, the treasures in the entire treasure room vanished.

However, before they could reach the cave entrance, a massive stone door dropped from the ceiling, sealing it shut. At the same time, countless sharp hidden weapons suddenly emerged from the walls of the treasure room, shooting towards them like a torrential downpour of pear blossoms.

Tang Yue reacted quickly. She immediately used her spiritual power to form a spiritual shield to protect herself, Gu Yanxi and the second in command.

The hidden weapons struck the shield with clanging sounds and sparks flying everywhere. However, these weapons were extremely powerful, and cracks began to appear on the spiritual shield under their attack. Tang Yue increased her spiritual power output to maintain the shield's stability.

"This isn't going to work. We need to find the control center of the mechanism and disable these hidden weapons!" Gu Yanxi said anxiously. He hadn't expected the pirates to be so capable. But he wasn't sure how long Tang Yue could sustain such a ferocious attack.

Tang Yue nodded. She admired Gu Yanxi's attitude towards solving problems. While maintaining her shield, she used her spiritual power to sense the surrounding environment, trying to find the location of the mechanism.

At that moment, a thick green poisonous mist suddenly emerged from the corner of the treasure room and quickly spread towards them. Wherever the poisonous mist touched, the stones and soil on the ground were corroded into small pits, making a "hissing" sound.

The second in command shouted in horror: "Oh no, this is poisonous fog. If we inhale it, we will definitely die!" A pale color quickly appeared on his face.

Tang Yue frowned. She wasn't worried about the current situation, but where did the fog come from? Could it be that the pirate leader had told them something else? She felt that this poisonous fog was very important.

Suddenly, she remembered and took out a small jade bottle from her storage space. The bottle contained the detoxification pill she had refined earlier.

Tang Yue gave the pills to Gu Yanxi and the second in command, and said, "Take it. This pill can resist the erosion of the poisonous fog." After the three of them took the pills, Tang Yue took a deep breath, then suddenly withdrew the spiritual shield, and at the same time performed the "Wind Blade Technique", knocking away the hidden weapons shot at them one by one.

The moment the hidden weapon was knocked away, Tang Yue flashed and rushed to the corner filled with poisonous fog like a flash of lightning. Her target was a mysterious device there. She guessed that this device was probably the control center of the mechanism.

At the same time, she also has to collect the fog here and go back to study it carefully. These methods used by Japan are too harmful.

Tang Yue carefully observed the device and found that it was covered with complex numbers and patterns. She recalled these patterns in her mind and tried to decipher their meaning.

However, she had never seen any of these patterns before, and time was running out, so she didn't have much time to study them slowly. Tang Yue didn't want to waste any more effort, so she simply grabbed the central mechanism with her bare hands and gently twisted it. A miracle happened.

The runes on the device began to flicker, and the hidden weapons and poisonous mist that were fired at them gradually stopped. Then, the stone door sealing the cave entrance slowly rose, and light from outside filtered in.

Tang Yue......

What a foolish move, a whimper. Thinking of that burly pirate leader, could it be that he couldn't remember the password? And then, his cleverness backfired?

Tang Yue shook her head and turned back to Gu Yanxi and the Second Master. The Second Master had collapsed to the ground in shock after the thrilling scene, his face as pale as paper.

Did the pirate leader betray him, or did he take himself too seriously? Tang Yue didn't want to go into the details.

Anyway, the matter has been resolved.

Gu Yanxi wanted to turn around, but Tang Yue grabbed his arm.
