Chapter 487: Boiling Frog in Warm Water



"Don't touch it, unless you want to die!" Alan shouted at Bei Ming.

Bei Ming was startled and his hand accidentally scratched the stone brick next to him.

This stone clearly looked flat like other bricks, but when he touched it, the brick became dented, followed by a crackling sound.

The sound rang above their heads and lingered in their ears.

Alan was already trembling with fear, because the cold arrows shot from all directions had already made her exhausted. If Gu Huai and the others had not suddenly rushed in to help, she would have been hit by an arrow like Dali.

The worst outcome is to be pierced by thousands of arrows!

But now the crackling sound has been going on for so long without any change. Bei Ming felt that Alan was making a fuss out of nothing.

"Look how scared you are. If you hadn't suddenly roared, I wouldn't have touched it by mistake." Bei Ming said.

But Alan didn't dare to be as careless as Bei Ming. She looked around, hoping to leave quickly before she found out something was wrong.

Suddenly, she found a dragon head carving not far away. It slowly opened its mouth and water gradually flowed out of its mouth.

She pointed there and said in panic, "Water, there's water flowing there."

Gu Huai and the others looked in the direction she pointed. Although they saw the flowing water, they did not look scared. Instead, they thought Alan was making too much of a fuss.

"It's just a place where water is flowing. Is there any need to make such a fuss?" Bei Ming said.

But Nan Feng bumped into him and shut him up: "Stop talking, take a closer look first."

Bei Ming looked around and his expression began to become solemn.

It's strange, why are there suddenly so many faucets here, and they are all spraying water out, and the water on the ground is gradually accumulating, more and more, as if it is going to drown them.

"It's so hot!" Alan said, not caring about the pain in his body, and jumped up from the ground.

Gu Huai and the others were standing, but their contact area with the ground was not as large as Alan's, so they didn't feel anything yet.

He squatted down and reached out to touch the ground, and indeed felt the ground warming up.

He touched the wall again, and it was the same, it was getting hotter!

Gu Huai suddenly thought of a phrase Xie Yunjiao had once told him: boiling a frog in warm water.

They don’t feel anything now, but by the time they react, they will probably be boiled like frogs!

If Alan hadn't discovered it first, he really wouldn't have found it.

There were smooth stone walls on all sides, without a single support point. If the water gradually rose, it would probably submerge them.

He thought that this was the effect that the designer of the mechanism wanted to achieve.

However, the door of the dark room was blown open by them using explosives, because Jing Kai found raw materials that could be used to make explosives nearby. After they mixed them together, they ignited them and tried several times.

Because Xie Yunjiao was not there, they couldn't judge the weight well, and when the explosion started, some of the stone statues were blown off, and Grandma Pearl was blown away.

Seeing that Grandma Zhenzhu's life was safe, they moved her aside and ignored her.

After all, she did that to Xie Yunjiao, so it was quite good that they still treated her like this.

"Let's go up first and come back after the water recedes." Gu Huai said.

"Do you think this water will drown us?" Jing Kai asked.

Gu Huai replied: "Yes."

Jing Kai thought about it and decided that if Xie Yunjiao was in the space, she would be fine. Even if she wasn't in the space, she wouldn't be here, because they had already searched for her several times and couldn't find her.

It’s better to go up first and come down after the water recedes.

Gu Huai and Bei Ming went upstairs, but Zhou Ming didn't want to leave.

Because he also wanted to find the mechanism to open the treasure door.

He felt that Alan must have made a mistake. If there were many mechanisms here, there would not be only one way to open the treasure door.

Seeing that Zhou Ming didn't want to leave, Gu Huai didn't bother to pay attention to him. Anyway, if he died here, it was his own business and had nothing to do with him.

Bei Ming just woke up and looked like a monkey.

When we were coming down, he was in the front, and when we were going out, he was also the first one running up.

But soon he ran back with a serious expression.

"Why are you running back?" Jing Kai asked.

Bei Ming said in panic: "The exit is blocked, we can't get out."

Gu Huai and his companions' expressions changed, but they still walked forward without giving up. When they saw the stone that was really blocking the way, they pushed it together several times, but couldn't move it away.

"What's going on? Did Grandma Pearl block the road?" Nanfeng muttered.

Gu Huai felt that it was impossible, because when they went down, Grandma Zhenzhu was still in a coma. Even if she suddenly woke up, she was injured. It was impossible for an injured person to move such a heavy stone.

None of the healthy men could move it.

"There is only one possibility, that is the mechanism activated by Bei Ming, this is also one of the mechanisms." Jing Kai said.

Bei Ming felt that this was the only possibility.

He said guiltily, "I'm sorry, I really didn't know it would be like this."

"You didn't mean it." Gu Huai said.

Nanfeng suddenly thought of something, his face changed drastically as he said, "If this stone was added later, I'm afraid the water would have flooded this side as well!"

Gu Huai nodded solemnly. Nanfeng was right. It was indeed like that.

They couldn't get out, so they could only stay here. This was the top, and maybe they could find a way out from here.

If you stay down there, you will die.

Gu Huai and his companions used their internal energy to attack the boulder that was blocking their way, but the boulder seemed to be rooted in the ground and did not budge at all no matter how hard they tried.

"What should I do?" Bei Ming found that the water had reached the stairs before he went down to the dark room.

The darkroom was almost half submerged.

Zhou Ming and Alan were still searching below, and no one knew what they were looking for.

But he was sure that Zhou Ming would not be so kind as to help find Xie Yunjiao.

What's more, the place is so small and Xie Yunjiao is not here.

Bei Ming told Gu Huai and the others what he saw. Gu Huai said, "There must be something very important in here that we don't know about. That's why they are not afraid of death."

He added, "What I'm most worried about now is that Senior Jun has been killed. There are so many traps here, and it looks like this secret room was designed by the Jun family."

Jing Kai also thought this was the case, but he didn't expect Zhou Ming to be so capable. Not only did he find out about this place, he also knew the relationship between Senior Jun and this place.

Zhou Ming and Alan searched around and around underwater. Alan couldn't hold his breath anymore, so he swam to the surface to breathe.

"Saint, please come with me. It's very dangerous here." Dali persuaded.

Alan was about to chase Dali away when she suddenly remembered something. She swam over and grabbed Dali by the collar, threatening him, "Do you know something?"
