Chapter 290 Black Fire Array
The two people who joined the team later in the secret realm were old acquaintances of Xu Hu, and they were also the first to be attracted by the space ring in Yunshan's hand.
"To be honest with you, my parents died in the turbulent period at the beginning of the apocalypse, and I don't have any relatives in the capital. Xu Hu also knows that my sister is in Xitang. In this world, as her brother, I must go find her." Zeng Jing said with a depressed mood.
"Brother Zeng, don't worry. Your sister will be safe. I'm planning to go to Anping, so we can go together then." Another companion ran over to comfort Zeng Jing.
"Brother Zeng, please express your opinion on the matter we just talked about, otherwise Yunshan may come back at any time." Xu Hu urged impatiently.
"My journey south must be full of difficulties. If I had a space ring, I would be able to save myself a lot of trouble along the way." Zeng Jing said bluntly.
"Who doesn't want a space ring? What gives you the right to..." After being pinched by the person behind him, Xu Hu swallowed the rest of his words.
"Xu Hu, don't be anxious. Listen to me. Although the space ring is a good thing, we can't sell it in the capital. Eight people naturally can't share one ring. If the eight of us rush to grab the ring together, even if there are no casualties, we will definitely have to fight again for the ring. Wouldn't that hurt the harmony among everyone?" Zeng Jing looked far-sighted.
Xu Hu's eyes flashed. Zeng Jing usually looked honest and loyal, but he didn't expect that he was so bad at talking and had so many cunning tricks.
"Brother Zeng, what do you think we should do?" another person asked anxiously.
"It's very simple. We each use our own methods. Whoever gets the ring will own it. When we leave the secret realm, no matter how many treasures we take out, the treasures inside will be divided into eight parts, one for each person. What do you think?" Zeng Jing seemed to have made a plan already.
"Are you deliberately delaying time? Even if the eight of us attack together, we still don't have a chance of success, and you still want to do our own thing? What if we don't get it by then? What's the point of collecting so many treasures?" Xu Hu said doubtfully.
"If the eight of us attack together, Yunshan will definitely not be our opponent. However, there will definitely be infighting among the eight of us for the trophies. As for what you just said, what should we do if none of the eight of us succeed in getting the ring? It's very simple. We can use the method you just mentioned then. It won't be too late for the eight of us to attack together, right?" Zeng Jing said with a smile.
Yunshan rushed to the territory of the nine-headed monster snake with great concern, completely unaware that someone had already set his eyes on the space ring in his hand.
In the underground palace, Ning Qingyun came out of the secret room. Outside was a long corridor. On the walls on both sides of the corridor were many exquisite murals carved with green mountains and green waters in brilliant colors. Every ten meters or so on the corridor there was a glowing stone pillar. The light was dim and yellow, making the shadow behind Ning Qingyun look very tall.
Ning Qingyun walked on the corridor step by step. No one knew what kind of stone the corridor was paved with. Ning Qingyun's footsteps were very light. Logically, they should have landed silently and without any sound. However, no matter how lightly he walked, as soon as he stepped down, a "crunching" sound came from under his feet. The sound was unusually clear, and it could be heard echoing in this closed corridor.
Ning Qingyun increased his pace, and the sound became louder, but other than that, nothing else happened.
The sound should be caused by the material of the ground.
Ning Qingyun walked along the corridor until he reached the end. In front of him was a pure black wall blocking the end.
No wonder the echo just now was so clear and long, it turns out that this is really a completely enclosed corridor.
Ning Qingyun walked back and forth in this corridor several times but did not find any obvious mechanism.
The closed environment, long echoes, and dim light easily remind people of bad places, such as a tomb.
Ning Qingyun touched the pendant hidden under his collar and took a deep breath.
There must be some place that he has not noticed. Ning Qingyun decided to walk it again. This time he would think it over step by step and walk slowly.
Ning Qingyun tentatively knocked on the walls on both sides of the corridor a few times. A deep and solid "dong dong dong" sound was heard, proving that the walls were very thick.
Ning Qingyun knocked all the way and shook his head in disappointment again and again. Finally, he stopped in front of a strange mural. The painting looked like a flat painting, but upon closer inspection, the mountains, the water, and the rocks seemed to be protruding.
Ning Qingyun studied it carefully and found that it was actually a formation.
This formation was very complicated yet seemed familiar. He stretched out his right hand, and a thick black book appeared on his palm, "The Book of Formation".
This formation is very similar to the one he studied some time ago. Perhaps he can find a way to crack it in this book.
Ning Qingyun searched in the formation book according to the location he remembered, and finally he was right. This was a small maze used to hide some small objects, such as doors.
After successfully solving the maze, Ning Qingyun entered an empty hall.
This place is larger than the pillared square where they were just now. There is a square pool in the center of the hall. There are lifelike lotus carvings and a few bright red fish on the edge of the pool.
Ning Qingyun involuntarily walked towards the pool. He looked into the pool as if possessed by a spirit. There was a "boom" in his mind, as if the camera had turned, and a graceful woman said to him lovingly, "Qingyun, don't worry, they are my daughter-in-law, grandson and granddaughter. How could I not worry about their safety?"
"I have found out their whereabouts. I promise you will see them soon." The still charming woman said to him proudly.
Ning Qingyun didn't believe Ying Cai'e's words at all and kept a cold expression on his face.
"How is it? Did you find them?" Ning Qingyun asked nervously while grabbing his subordinates.
"Found it, Seventh Young Master, they are in ** place, when are we going to go find them?" asked the subordinate.
"Now, go immediately." Ning Qingyun said anxiously.
"It's so pitiful. A family of three, a young mother and two children, were burned to death!"
"Isn't it? In this world, I don't know how a woman with two children can survive?"
"How come no one came to put out the fire when it was so big?" The people around were talking in unison.
