The search for the Xuan-Yuan Sword was not smooth sailing. Of course, those troublesome summoned beasts were secondary. For Fang Zheng and others, the greatest danger came from within themselves.

To be exact...it came from some unlucky guy.

"Kiana, not over there!!"

"Why??"

Hearing Mei's call, Kiana turned her head in confusion, and the next moment the mechanism in front of her was immediately triggered, and the surroundings were instantly sealed off. Then a large group of summoned beasts came rushing over aggressively. At the same time, huge rocks fell from the sky, forcing Fang Zheng and others to flee in panic.

"Kiana, you are awesome. I should not have brought you along..."

After finally escaping the disaster again, Fang Zheng was speechless looking at Qiana in front of him. They did find the location of the Xuanyuan Sword and the tomb built for Ji Lin by later generations. Of course, generally speaking, such places would be full of traps to make it difficult for people to enter. But for Fang Zheng, traps of this level were nothing.

But the problem is that Fang Zheng has an expert at stepping on landmines.

At the beginning, Kiana was completely confused by this Bagua maze and stepped on it dizzily. Needless to say, everyone struggled to get out of it. After that, Kiana learned her lesson and didn't dare to go to the front again. Instead, she retreated into the crowd. As a result, she accidentally stepped on a mechanism again, causing Fang Zheng and others to be almost buried under the rubble.

Even at the end, Fang Zheng walked over first, and then Xiao An, Bronya and Raiden Mei also walked over smoothly, and then it was Kiana's turn and she fell flat on the ground, and then... there was another "click".

Well, everyone has to turn around and save her, which means they came out in vain.

When the group walked out of the maze, they were almost exhausted.

"I will never bring you out to do this kind of thing again. How come you always run into all kinds of traps? Is it possible that you are not meant to be tomb robbers?"

“Ahahahaha…”

Hearing Fang Zheng's complaints, Kiana scratched her head embarrassedly, then she looked forward as if to change the subject, and then Kiana stretched out her hand in surprise.

"Look, there seems to be something written on the stone wall over there!"

"Why?"

Hearing this, everyone looked over and, as expected, saw a series of mysterious and ancient words written on the stone wall next to them.

"Wow... I don't understand, what is this?"

"let me see……"

Fang Zheng silently released a language of understanding to himself, and then looked at the stone wall in front of him.

"Hey? Mr. Yuki, can you understand?"

"There is a kind of magic that can make people understand all languages ​​and characters."

"Magic is really convenient."

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Kiana was immediately moved.

"If I knew this magic, I wouldn't have failed the exam."

"That's a good idea, but I have to tell you that magic spells also need to be memorized."

Fang Zheng complained silently, then looked at the stone tablet. At this time, Xiao An also tilted his head and looked at him curiously.

"What does it say?"

"Well, it says that a year ago, Ji Lin came here with the Xuanyuan Sword to destroy Chi You. This person came to find her, but couldn't find the Nine Netherworld. At this time, a red kite was flying over the sea. This was Ji Lin's favorite bird, so this person followed the red kite here. However, the red kite was exhausted after arriving here and left first..."

“Very touching.”

Hearing this, Kiana was immediately moved.

"Reminds me of Sora."

"Why?"

In response to Kiana's sigh, Mei Raiden trembled all over, her face turned pale, and she looked at Kiana in surprise.

"Kiana, who is Sora? I've never heard you mention this woman!"

At this moment, Mei Raiden exuded an aura of "You actually had another woman outside behind my back", which made Bronya and Xiao Yami next to them immediately distance themselves from the two of them tacitly.

"Bronya, I saw the Shura Field."

At the same time, Bronya did not forget to complain silently.

"Why?"

Seeing Mei Raiden's look as if saying "If you don't tell me, I will stab you to death and then commit suicide", Kiana was also shocked and waved her hands quickly.

"No, no, Sora is the cat I used to have. It has white fur and a golden tail. It's very cute."

"Ah, it's a cat..."

Hearing this, Raiden Mei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, forget about that. The following content is... well, this person came here, but did not find Ji Lin, and the Xuanyuan Sword was nowhere to be found. So he erected a stone tablet here to commemorate Ji Lin, and also carved a statue of her favorite red kite for her..."

"Eh? So we came here for nothing?"

After listening to Fang Zheng read the contents of the stone tablet, Kiana did not hide her disappointment at all. She was still hoping to find some holy relics and watch Fang Zheng summon the heroic spirit from five thousand years ago.

"I don't think they went to so much trouble to build this maze just for commemoration purposes."

Fang Zheng retracted his gaze and looked at the stone wall in front of him, then he narrowed his eyes.

"By the way, do you know how pirates hide their treasures?"

"pirate?"

"Yes, they are also worried that someone will steal their treasures, so many pirates will choose to build two treasure houses, one real and one fake, and put some treasures in the fake one to attract the attention of possible invaders. In this way, even if someone enters their treasure house, they will not be able to find the real treasure..."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and took out Frostmourne from the void. Then he looked at the stone tablet in front of him and swung it vigorously!

"boom!!!"

As Fang Zheng swung his sword, the stone tablet shattered, and then a huge passage appeared in the eyes of the girls. Seeing this scene, the girls were all shocked.

"Wow!! There really is a hidden passage!"

"Ah, look!"

At this moment, Kiana seemed to have discovered something. She jumped up happily and pointed inside.

"There's a sword in there!"

Without Kiana's words, everyone who entered the passage saw a huge golden sword suspended in the air in the middle of the hole. There were also three stone statues of red kites next to it, looking up at the sword.

"Just like what Mr. Yuki said, they lied to us before."

Arriving on the platform, Kiana breathed a sigh of relief, and then she looked around.

"How are we going to take this sword down? Is there some kind of trap?"

"No, just leave it to me."

Fang Zheng raised his hand, and then a magic-dispelling ray flew out from his fingertips and hit the sword. Soon, the golden sword floating in the air suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and then a translucent circular barrier shattered, and then it fell from the air and slowly landed on the ground.

"Great, it worked!!"

Seeing the golden sword in front of her, Kiana raised her hands happily and cheered, but Bronya grabbed her.

"Be careful! Bronya feels a strong reaction to Honkai energy!"

"Why?"

Just when Kiana was stunned, suddenly, the golden sword suddenly released a surge of power.

"careful!"

Raiden Mei was quick to grab Kiana and press her to the ground, while Bronya also released a shield to block the two of them. On the other side, Fang Zheng reached out to grab Xiao An, pulled her to his side, and then raised his right hand. Soon, an invisible energy shield emerged, blocking the whistling and exploding air wave.

Then, a girl with black hair and red eyes, emitting golden light, emerged from the sky. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at everyone.

"Finally... I am freed from this long seal..."

“BOOM BOOMY—!!”

As the girl spoke, the next moment, the entire earth suddenly began to tremble violently. Before anyone could react to what was happening, everything seemed to be shattered and exploded, and then, boundless darkness suddenly erupted and swallowed everything.

“Woo…”

When Kiana opened her eyes again, she felt a splitting headache.

"Hey, you're awake. You're really the worst person among these people."

"Ah, Mr. Yuki..."

Hearing the voice in her ear, Kiana blinked, then she seemed to have thought of something and stood up.

"By the way, where are Mei and Bronya? And what happened to that sword...?"

"We're here, Kiana!"

As if hearing Kiana's call, Raiden Mei's voice came, and Kiana turned around happily to look.

"Mei, Bronya, you didn't... hey hey hey hey?!!"

However, before Kiana could finish her words, they turned into a scream of surprise - the reason was simple, at this moment she could see that Raiden Mei, Bronya and Xiao An were on another piece of land not far from them.

In other words, a piece of land floating in the air!

"What's going on?!"

"I'm not sure either, but I think... Miss Ji Lin can answer this question for us."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng turned his head. At this moment, Kiana realized that the girl who had appeared from the golden sword was now standing quietly by the side, watching them in silence. Fang Zheng also stared at her and asked.

"So, young lady, what's going on?"

“…”

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, the girl with black hair, red eyes and golden glow closed her eyes and sighed slightly.

"...Chi You has resurrected."

Then she opened her mouth to answer.
