Chapter 184 I am indeed a member of the Xue family!
Jian Yue choked for a moment, and finally found his voice after a lot of effort. He looked at the door not far away and said, "No, buddy, I think now is not the time to discuss this point, right?"
Everyone's attention was finally drawn back.
On the vines not far away, several huge snake-like creatures were crawling slowly, and their slowly spitting out tongues made clear sounds in the silent space. Before everyone was able to be distracted, they saw them rushing towards them at a rapid speed!
Everyone seemed to be sweating coldly.
Little Li said: "Don't be afraid, just look at me. I can't help you before you enter the underground palace, but after you enter, this place will be no problem for me!"
Leo has never been a person with a very strong presence before, and this is the first time everyone has seen him stand out.
Little Leo walked up to the crowd, his thin figure blocking everyone's way this time. He put his hands together, his fingers moving rapidly back and forth, no one knew what he was doing, and then he put them together again. A golden light flashed through the air, and he shouted, "I swear I only love you!!"
Then everyone was stunned.
Several bolts of lightning suddenly struck down, knocking out all the giant pythons. They were stunned!!!
Jian Yue widened his eyes.
Concubine Liu and Gao Fei were also stunned.
The audience in the live broadcast room was stunned and then laughed like crazy:
“Ahahahaha!”
“This gold card is so funny.”
"It's an offensive card that's kind of cool!"
"This should be the one ranked tenth on the top 100 list. He's the only one with a gold card who can use thunder."
After using up his cards, Leo turned around and looked at his teammates behind him, smiled and said, "How's it going?"
Gao Fei said, "Brother, why haven't I seen you use this trick before?"
Little Leo scratched his head and said, "My skill is a group attack, which requires a specific target. I had no place to show it before."
Jian Yue said: "You are invincible in team battles."
Little Leo smiled and said, "Thank you very much."
The audience in the live broadcast room also felt that this gold card was indeed amazing, otherwise how could it be included in the top 100 list. However, they did not expect that this copy was so full of hidden talents.
Concubine Liu asked curiously, "Why do you say that when you use the card?"
Little Li said: "I don't know. If I don't shout, I can't use it anyway. Are there any restrictions on these cards?"
Lady Liu nodded and said, "That may be true. When I use my disguise card, I have to say 'watch me transform into seventy-two different forms'. When I finish my disguise, I have to do a disguise dance as well."
Gao Fei also started chatting.
When everyone looked at Jian Yue, Jian Yue was already studying the door in the front.
The heavy door was still tightly closed. Jian Yue stood in front of the door and looked at the complex patterns carved on it. He said slowly, "This door has a history of at least a hundred years."
Lady Liu said, "This door looks heavier than Mount Tai. It may be difficult to break it by force."
Jian Yue said: "I was forced to go back last time because I couldn't open this door."
Gao Fei walked over with a compass and said, "Let me take a look."
He was a professional, so of course everyone trusted him and had no doubts. Gao Fei walked over and stood at the door, carefully looking at the texture of the door. He looked at it carefully with a flashlight and said slowly: "There is a mechanism behind this door."
Jian Yue said: "In fact, we would have guessed it even if you didn't say it."
Gao Fei asked in confusion: "Why?"
Jian Yue smiled awkwardly and pointed at the snake corpses around them that had come back to life since they touched the door. Some of the snakes had no heads, but they were still crawling high and approaching silently.
The air at the entire entrance seemed to be instantly surrounded by a strong smell of blood.
The air and oxygen here were already very thin, and now it was struck by lightning, so the air around them was naturally stuffy. They slowly retreated, and could only hear rustling sounds in the silent night, accompanied by the sound of blood clots falling.
"I'm not dreaming." Little Leo said in a trembling voice, "Aren't they dead?"
Jian Yue looked into the snake's cold and cruel eyes and saw his own figure clearly reflected in them. He smiled bitterly and said, "I would rather this was a dream now."
As his words fell.
The system panel refreshed: "
Trigger the main quest: [Temple Escape]
Mission details: Please survive among the sacred snakes guarding the temple gate and enter the temple to find the exit.
Task time limit: Unlimited
Mission Reward: Gift from the Temple."
Jian Yue: “…”
Even if you don't set a time limit, they will escape now!
Is there any difference between a time limit and no time limit?! ?
Before he could complain about the system, Gao Fei shouted, "Get out of the way!"
A snake's huge head suddenly rushed over, carrying a strong smell of blood and aggressive power. Everyone dodged in a hurry, and then they heard the sound of the whole wall clanging and the falling soil.
Just like that, dust fell everywhere and buried everyone under the soil.
Jian Yue's brain was buzzing and his ears were full of tinnitus after he fell so hard. His hearing was already very good, and this huge impact noise was more stimulating to him than to ordinary people.
This fall was very heavy.
He tried to get up but he couldn't even muster the strength to do so.
"Don't, don't get up!" Gao Fei shouted not far away: "Keep buried in the soil and don't move. Snakes can sense heat!"
Jian Yue couldn't move at first. He leaned against the pile of earth and breathed lightly. He was surrounded by the strong smell of blood and the sticky sound of some snakes that should have died long ago sliding across the soil. He slowly opened his eyes and met the eyes of a snake head in front of him. It had a pair of cold and dark green pupils, which were extremely clear in the dark night.
I don't know where the flashlight fell to.
In such a dark and sticky environment, opening your eyes and seeing such snake pupils can almost scare your heart out.
Jian Yue just looked at each other for two seconds and then lay back down. The snake's pupils were dilated, probably because it was the headless snake that had its head smashed off by lightning.
The audience in the live broadcast room had some feelings:
“That’s a pretty quick reaction.”
"Yeah, I didn't shout out loud."
"There is one next to him. His situation is different from Gao Fei's. If he had shouted just now, he would have been killed."
"How did you figure out it was a dead snake so quickly? You must be quite capable!"
Jian Yue lay in the soil and slowly recovered his strength.
Finally, the sound of the snakes swimming around gradually became smaller. They must have returned to the vines and branches after wandering around.
Everyone then exchanged for flashlights and sat up. No one knew how Gao Fei did it, but he seemed to be very good at digging. When everyone was buried in the soil, the 1.9-meter-tall man leaned against the soil and slowly moved to the front of the other people.
Jian Yue and the others were waiting behind the door at the time, so the places where they were buried were relatively concentrated and similar.
Gao Fei slowly moved over, his whole body turned into a native. He said, "Hey guys, I just used the divination card, and the card said that except for opening this door and going out, all other ways are blocked by these snakes!"
Jian Yue's ears slowly recovered. After the flashlight was replaced, he was finally able to see things clearly. Gao Fei said, "Where are the two of them?"
"Over there." Jian Yue pointed to a place less than two meters away from him: "Under the soil."
Gao Fei was shocked: "How did you know?"
Jian Yue: "There was a sound, I heard it."
Gao Fei felt that everything was completely silent. If he hadn't just seen Jian Yue being smashed here and buried, he wouldn't have been able to find Jian Yue. At this moment, he asked, "Hearing is your skill card?"
Jian Yue shook his head and said, "No, my eyesight is very poor, so my hearing is good."
Since coming to this copy, he has lost his glasses and his eyesight has become worse. He can't see things that are far away clearly. This is why he didn't go in after finding the underground palace.
Gao Fei said: "I'll find them both."
Jian Yue nodded slightly.
People cannot be buried in the ground for too long. After all, even if there is no danger of suffocation, there is always a risk of suffocation. He sat up and crawled forward, trying to minimize the possible sound.
Little Leo was thin and was hit on the waist by a falling branch, causing him to faint briefly.
Lady Liu was fine, she had already woken up. She said anxiously, "He fainted, what should we do with him? He needs to see a doctor now!"
Jian Yue held the man down and said, "Keep your voice down. Although those snakes don't rely on sound to identify their location, you are too excited. The heat in your body will increase, and it will be easy for them to find you."
Concubine Liu was too afraid to speak.
Jian Yue turned the unconscious person on the ground over, and the other two people saw Jian Yue pressing some acupoints on Xiao Lizi's body, and then covering Xiao Lizi's mouth, and the person woke up in almost no time.
Gao Fei said excitedly: "It really works! What a miracle doctor!"
Jian Yue said modestly: "Thank you very much."
Gao Fei asked, "Were you a doctor before?"
Jian Yue: "I guess so."
"Then you must be a great doctor!" Gao Fei said happily, "Let me see it when I have the chance."
Jian Yue smiled and said, "Let's talk about it later."
Only Concubine Liu at the side had a look of confusion on her face and didn't say anything. The audience in the live broadcast room laughed when they saw her expression. As the first female protagonist to be fooled by Butler Wang, they seemed to understand Concubine Liu's feelings a little.
After waking up, Little Leo coughed twice and then began to gasp for breath.
Gao Fei and Concubine Liu calmed him down and explained the current situation to Xiao Lizi in a very low voice. It was confirmed that the road they came from was no longer accessible, so they had to find another way.
"But we have no way to open the door." Little Leo said in despair: "My lightning card can indeed be used, but it has entered cooldown."
Concubine Liu and Gao Fei’s cards were of no help either.
When everyone thought of this, they all looked at Jian Yue unconsciously.
Jian Yue: “…”
The audience in the live broadcast room all laughed first:
"His gossip card is even less interesting."
"I'll tell you a little gossip about snakes to amuse you all."
“There is no solution to this game.”
"I think these people are really going to die here."
"I think the anchor has really no talent and got here only by luck."
"Now my teammates probably know that he has made a mistake, right?"
Basically, experienced viewers can see that the danger level of the underground palace has reached the SSS level of difficulty. This level of dungeon really cannot be passed by luck or anything else.
Little Leo was injured, and his voice was a little muffled at the moment: "I feel like it's hard to breathe."
Lady Liu also realized it. She had been feeling more and more weak in her limbs since the beginning: "I feel dizzy."
A strong man like Gao Fei, who had used a lot of physical strength, had already leaned on the ground and was almost asleep.
Jian Yue lowered his eyes and looked at them and said, "There is a lack of oxygen here. Don't sleep. It's very dangerous."
No one spoke. The dizziness caused by lack of oxygen left them with almost no strength to move. Jian Yue looked up at the dark door not far ahead. If they wanted to leave, they could only go through there, but they didn't have the key to the door. Even he could feel the gradual weakness in his limbs and the heaviness in his chest.
The consequences of continuing to stay here would be disastrous.
The audience in the live broadcast room saw Jian Yue stand up and move.
Jian Yue bit his lip, almost biting it through. He could still be seen standing up unsteadily. Jian Yue's voice was a little difficult: "No, I can't die..."
The audience in the live broadcast room thought he remembered some mission.
Then Jian Yue clenched his hands tightly and said slowly: "I haven't received the salary for becoming a regular employee yet..."
audience:……
In the darkness, everyone saw Jian Yue stand up at this moment when he had no teammates and no offensive cards. In the dark night, the audience could not see the expression on Jian Yue's face, but they could see him shining the flashlight at the gate not far away, his eyes were dark.
Then he moved.
He even took the initiative to smear some blood on his body. The smell of blood made him seem like a living target. His figure was particularly clear in the dark night. He shuttled outside the hall, attracting the attention of the snakes on the vines.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss"
The sticky crawling sound slowly reappeared in the temple.
Jian Yue ran outside quickly, and the snakes chasing him from behind scurried over quickly. Dozens of snakes scurried over and rushed towards him. They were very fast and full of murderous intent!
The runner finally stopped in front of the gate. There was no way out!
When the audience in the live broadcast room saw this, those who were originally watching the show stopped making jokes, because this was truly too dangerous. It was simply playing with one's life, not to mention that there was absolutely no way or key to open the door. The power of these puppet snakes was extremely great, and the weight of their attacks was simply not something that a human could withstand!
Run! !
This was the common thought that came to everyone's mind when they saw the thin figure standing at the door.
But Jian Yue was exhausted after running here. Everyone could only see him turning around slowly. The group of attacking snakes behind him had arrived, and Jian Yue was even holding in his hand a huge snake head that had just fallen off after being struck by lightning, as if he was afraid that the group of puppet snakes could not find him!
All the snakes came out in full force. The sound of huge amounts of blood and snake bodies leaping across the ground carried the blood and murderous aura in the air. Sharp roars rang out in the enclosed space of the hall, vibrating people's eardrums like drums. At the moment the snakes arrived, everyone saw Jian Yue's figure move. At the moment when he was about to hit the door, the young man turned sideways and hid in the collapsed pit!
"boom!!"
The huge group of snakes had no time to change direction and crashed directly into the heavy door.
The whole tunnel was shaking, the ears were filled with the shrill sounds of snakes, the snakes that hit the door were shaking as if they were infected with some poisonous sting, and the mud and boulders rolled down, and the whole hall was shaking in an instant.
After silence.
Air came in.
Jian Yue was sitting behind the cover of a huge rock. He was not injured, but he was too close to it and his brain was buzzing from the brief shock.
Gao Fei and the others were drowsy, but were awakened by the sound. They slowly stood up and found that there were no snake corpses on the ground. The snakes that were alive just now had turned into snake bones in the blink of an eye!
The hall returned to silence, but looking at the snake bones on the ground still made people feel a chill down their spines.
"Where is the little prince?" Little Leo said with difficulty: "Where did he go?"
When everyone came to their senses, they all remembered that key person.
Gao Fei looked around quickly: "Little Prince? Little Prince?!"
Lady Liu was a little frightened, and even her eyes were red. She said, "He won't die, will he?"
There was a faint voice from the door not far away, and a raised hand said, "Not dead, here."
Everyone's eyes lit up with joy and they stumbled over, only to see Jian Yue, covered in dirt, sitting at the door. The door of the hall had been smashed by the giant snakes to create a gap big enough for people to pass through, and Jian Yue was leaning against it.
Gao Fei ran over and found that the man was fine. He patted him on the shoulder and said with a look of joy: "You look small, kid. How did you get the courage to do this? Are you betting that they can break the door open? You are too brave!"
Jian Yue panted to regain his strength. He said, "I noticed the first time they attacked us that they avoided the door when they rushed over and only attacked us at the door. And just now when we were over there, I listened and their movements were not towards the door. I am a little suspicious that they are actually afraid of the door. I think the copy should not leave us a dead end, so we can take a gamble."
Leo said: "Even so, it's still very dangerous. If you run too slowly or guess wrong, you'll be dead."
Jian Yue leaned against the door and smiled softly, saying, "If you don't run, staying where you are is just waiting to die. Besides, you can't wait that long given your current state."
After a moment of silence, Leo raised his thumb and said, "Brother! You are my real buddy! I will treat you to a meal after we finish this copy. From now on, you are my best buddy! I will listen to you!"
Gao Fei also said to Jian Yue: "Hey, you are such a loyal guy, I recognize you as my brother!"
Lady Liu said beside her: "We are friends for life and death. I didn't expect to meet you when I first entered this world. I am lucky. I must keep in touch after I get out!"
Jian Yue listened to their conversation and felt his overly rapid heartbeat finally calm down a bit. He chuckled and said, "Let's talk about it after we can get out alive."
The audience in the live broadcast room was much more excited than him:
“This brat!”
"Butler Wang, you don't know how great a blessing you have received now!!"
"The top ten on the top 100 list are his younger brothers."
"Hahaha, the vice president of the strongest guild recognizes him as a brother."
"The notorious female devil wants to keep in touch with him!!"
Everyone originally came to watch this special copy to see the embarrassing things that happened to these big guys after they lost their memories and became newcomers, but they didn't expect to see the pure and kind side of these people who are usually famous for being ruthless.
If you replace it with any copy.
Maybe when these experienced guys meet, they will only be on guard against and calculate against each other, and because they come from different areas, they don't interfere with each other and it is absolutely impossible for them to become friends. But here, they rely on each other.
Jian Yue slowly stood up and said, "Let's go in and find a way to leave the underground palace."
Everyone nodded.
The outside of the underground palace is already so dangerous, and the level of danger inside the underground palace is even more unimaginable.
The only thing that Jian Yue could be thankful for was that although it was very dangerous just now, his hands and feet were not too injured and he could still walk independently. After stepping into the underground palace, he found that it was completely different from the pitch-black outside. The underground palace was very large!
On the open ground, the walls of the corridor are inlaid with a natural luminous mineral.
Lady Liu was overwhelmed by the sight: "What kind of mineral body is this? It's amazing, it glows."
Gao Fei has some experience: "This light is most likely emitted by some kind of mineral or plant in the mountain."
Little Leo said: "Hey, look, there seems to be a painting on this wall!"
Everyone moved closer. It was indeed difficult to see clearly when they were not close, but when they were closer, they could see that there was indeed a painting on the wall. The more Jane looked at the pattern carved on the painting, the more familiar it seemed to her.
All I could see on the walls, winding and twisting, carved and painted, were the veins of mountains and rivers, and in more detail, the palace walls and city moats.
Jian Yue said: "Is this a map of the palace?"
Everyone came over to study it, and Concubine Liu was the first to say, "Yes, I can be sure because I walk it often."
As eunuchs who often deliver clothes, Gao Fei and his companions are actually very familiar with the route. They had felt before that the pattern here looked so familiar, but they couldn't tell what exactly was familiar about it. Now that Jian Yue said this, they realized that this is exactly the map of the palace.
They continued to move forward.
The pattern began to change.
The map of the entire underground palace becomes larger as you go further forward. Human patterns appear in the patterns drawn on it. There are huge mountains and people living under the mountains. Of course, the most eye-catching thing is a huge insect-snake that surrounds the entire picture. They are winding and entwined, as if to shrink all the people inside.
"Is this group of people fighting against snakes?" Concubine Liu pointed at the picture above where a group of people were pointing weapons at snakes.
Little Li touched his chin and said, "It seems so. Look here, there is a leader who seems to be leading his men to fight against the snakes. They are having a very hard time."
Everyone saw that under the new mural, it seemed that many people had died, and many of them were lying on the ground, which was obviously caused by the war, and huge snakes rose into the air, as if fighting with them.
Gao Fei said: "Come, look here!!"
Everyone walked forward quickly, passed through the passage in front, and arrived at the back of the underground palace. There were broken walls and ruins all over the ground. Under the glowing walls, many palaces and buildings had collapsed, and some walls were damaged. It can be seen that this section of the Bailu Temple site had experienced some fighting.
Gao Fei pointed to a wall and said, "There is blood writing on it."
Although history has changed, the bloodstains were still deeply engraved into the wall. When they got closer, they could still see some words.
Little Leo said with some difficulty: "I don't understand this text."
Jian Yue came closer and found that he could understand it. This was what the female ghost in the library taught him when she taught him to read the notebook. He moved closer, squinted his eyes and said, "Light it up for me, I can't see clearly."
Gao Fei and the others quickly handed the flashlight to Jian Yue: "Is this another note?"
The light is coming.
Jian Yue finally got a clear view of the entire stone wall with a flashlight in his hand. He saw blood words clearly printed on the entire stone surface. Written on it crookedly but clearly: "The Xue family is guilty of a serious crime. We are ashamed of the teachings of our ancestors and the religions, and we are ashamed to face the common people. Our crime is unforgivable!"
This line of words is full of criticism of the Xue family.
Jian Yue's gaze slowly moved downwards, and on the last line of the blood letter, he saw the person who left the words, Xue Xingdong.
He pronounced the name.
Gao Fei said: "Xue Xingdong? This name sounds familiar."
Noble Lady Liu spoke first: "The patriarch of the Xue family once held the position of Prime Minister, the head of the civil service in the world, with great power in the court. At that time, the Xue family was at its peak!"
As she was a concubine, she naturally had access to more information than them.
Little Li said, "Why would the Xue family's patriarch write a blood letter here and say something like this, saying that his own people have committed heinous crimes? Did the Xue family bring about their own destruction?"
When Jian Yue decoded the contents on the stone tablet, the system panel popped up: "The progress of the main task [The Secret of the Xue Family's Extermination] is 35%"
There is new progress.
Jian Yue reached out and touched the bloodstain on the wall. The words were clearly written there. Xue Xingdong was the Prime Minister. As long as he found the calligraphy and paintings he left behind in the past, he could compare and see if the words were written by him. From the current perspective, the Xue family seemed to have committed suicide out of fear of crime, but he always felt that it was not that simple. What kind of crime would warrant the extermination of an entire family?
What's more, there is a young prince in the palace.
Jian Yue fell into deep thought and said to the person behind him, "See if there are any other stone tablets with words around here..."
When he turned around, he found that everything around him was quiet.
It was unknown since when, but he was the only one left holding the flashlight, and the three people standing behind him disappeared out of thin air. In the large underground palace, he was the only one left standing in front of the stone wall with the blood writing on it. It was extremely silent.
Jian Yue turned around slowly and felt an endless chill around him.
"Gao Fei?" Jian Yue called out tentatively, "Little Li? Lady Liu?"
No one responded to him.
What responded to him was endless darkness.
Not far away in the air, soft singing seemed to begin to be heard again. The singing was deceptive. Jian Yue hesitated for a moment and walked towards the only source of the sound.
The ground is not flat.
You can even see a few skeletons occasionally.
Jian Yue walked forward slowly. Slowly, the singing seemed to be getting closer and closer. Then he saw a pool outside the ruined palace. Next to the pool sat a woman in white clothes. She had a green hairpin on her head and her long hair was draped behind her. She was sitting on a stone, humming a song softly.
I heard footsteps behind me.
The woman's singing did not stop.
Jian Yue originally wanted to see who was singing, but when he got closer, he stopped in his tracks. It was not for any other reason but because the woman was sitting on a rock by the lake, but her reflection on the lake had no shadow!
She is not human.
At least not a living person.
Jian Yue stopped in his tracks the moment he realized this. He turned around to leave, but someone tapped him on the shoulder. The impact was not strong, but very clear.
"Why are you leaving?" The woman's voice was close to my ear, eerie: "Don't you like this song?"
These words were filled with murderous intent and coldness.
It was as if he would immediately break Jian Yue's neck if he dared to say yes.
Jian Yue stood there in silence for a moment and said, "No, this song is very good, but I'm looking for my friends, so I don't have time to listen to it. Have you met them?"
The woman didn’t seem to expect this answer. She said, “I have.”
Jian Yue didn't expect that she really admitted it, so he immediately asked: "Then can you tell me where they are?"
"No." The woman's voice was filled with laughter in the silent space. Her murmured voice seemed deeper than the endless darkness here: "You shouldn't come here... Strangers are not allowed to enter here. This is our Xue family's ancestral land. I don't like strangers. No one likes them..."
Jian Yue said: "Then I will take them away."
But the woman shook her head and said, "It's too late. Those who trespass without permission cannot be forgiven."
Her voice was like a cold and sticky snake that wrapped around his whole body. Jian Yue could only feel endless chill. He wanted to run, but found that the way he came had become blurred since he didn't know when. The white bones on the ground had stood up staggeringly, and they had even slowly grown flesh and blood and were slowly crawling towards him.
"Look, they're all unhappy..." A woman's voice said behind Jian Yue: "All rude children will be punished like this..."
The more she spoke, the closer the voice became.
With the rustling sound approaching, Jian Yue realized that she might not be by his side when she was talking to him just now. He turned around slowly, wanting to see clearly what kind of monster he was facing.
Just turn around like this.
The woman with a knife in her hand and a murderous look rushed towards him and suddenly confronted Jian Yue.
Her face was pale and bloodless, and her dark eyes were lifeless, but she was stunned when she faced Jian Yue, and the blade that was so close to her suddenly stopped.
Jian Yue was just about to find an opportunity to run away, but when he saw her suddenly stop, he thought she had thought of another way to kill him.
The woman said, "Why do you smell like the Xue family?"
Jian Yue was stunned: "Ah?"
"Really..." The woman came closer, her pale and lifeless eyes showed a bit of confusion. After pondering for a long time, she said, "But you are not from the Xue family. Could it be that... you are a relative of someone else?"
Jian Yue was confused. How could he be a family member?
The audience was also stunned.
The white bones not far away were crawling closer and closer, and there was almost no place to run.
The audience in the live broadcast room thought that Jian Yue was going to think about reincarnation or finding a new way to escape, but they only saw Jian Yue take a deep breath, then excitedly grabbed the hand of the woman in front of him and said: "You are right! Aunt, you are my real aunt, right? I am indeed a member of the Xue family. My husband mentioned you to me last night!"
While speaking.
Jian Yue pointed at the white bones behind him and said, "Is that your second uncle? He looks so handsome! I finally see you guys!"
