"You have made great contributions in the eradication of Wuyou Cave this time, and you should be able to return to your post." Zhang Shixun patted his shoulder to comfort him.
"I have to thank Master Zhang for this. I was in danger just now. If you hadn't intervened in time, I would have been cut in half." Jiang Xuan bowed. "I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. If you ever need me in the future, please let me know. I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation."
"Don't be polite. Let's get down to business quickly. Delay will lead to trouble." Zhang Shixun said, pushing Li Kui, "Take us in."
Li Kui nodded repeatedly and led the two people and Hei Wuchang into Guifan Tower.
He led a few people and turned left and right along a winding passage to a hidden room. Then he pushed open a stone wall, revealing a cave entrance.
Li Kui pointed to the dark cave entrance and said, "The treasure cave is inside."
Zhang Shixun gave him a push and said, "You lead the way."
Li Kui said with a sad face: "Although I have hidden the treasure cave inside, I have never been in it. I am afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid there's an ambush inside."
Zhang Shixun handed him the shield in his hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense and lead the way."
Li Kui had no choice but to take the shield, bend down and crawl into the cave.
Zhang Shixun and others followed closely behind.
Li Kui walked in front with a shield in one hand and a torch in the other.
After taking just a dozen steps, he heard a "pop" sound, and Li Kui let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
Hei Wuchang reminded: "There is a mousetrap buried on the ground."
Zhang Shixun walked over and saw Li Kui's face was pale, holding his feet and wailing.
He had a large "mousetrap" clamped on his foot. The steel trap was as thick as his little finger and could easily catch a wolf, let alone a mouse.
"Good man! My...my foot was pinched and broken."
"Shut up!" Zhang Shixun looked into the distance warily. It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything. He nodded at Hei Wuchang and said, "Go to the front and keep watch."
Hei Wuchang walked to the front five or six meters without saying a word, and stopped to stand guard.
Zhang Shixun then lowered his head to check Li Kui's injuries. The buckle of the steel clamp was deeply embedded in his foot, and his foot must have been fractured.
He tried to open the mousetrap with his hands, but it was very tight and it took a lot of effort to pry it open.
Jiang Xuan took the mousetrap and looked at it carefully. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "Damn it! This isn't a mousetrap, it's clearly a trap used by hunters. No wonder it's so powerful."
Zhang Shixun said, "Since this is a treasure cave, there must be defenses. Everyone, be careful. I suspect there may be other hidden weapons."
Li Kui couldn't lead the way, so Zhang Shixun had no choice but to keep him where he was and warned him, "Just stay here and wait for us. Don't try to sneak away, otherwise, no one can save you."
Li Kui covered his feet with his hands and said with gritted teeth, "I won't run away. I've given my life to you, my good man."
Zhang Shixun looked at the positioning in the smart system. The little red dot almost coincided with his current location, so it should be nearby.
He stood up and walked towards Hei Wuchang, whispering, "You go ahead and check the secret passage."
Hei Wuchang nodded and walked forward.
Zhang Shixun and Jiang Xuan walked behind. Jiang Xuan gently pulled his sleeve and whispered, "You are a loyal servant and you are very brave."
"Hmm!" Zhang Shixun laughed secretly. He didn't have any courage at all, so there was no question of courage.
After walking a little further, the Black Impermanence in front stopped.
"Why did you stop?" Zhang Shixun asked.
"There's a trap here." Hei Wuchang pointed to the ground.
"Break it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hei Wuchang kicked up and a large piece of dirt on the ground was shoveled up.
With a "snap", the beast claws closed in the air.
"This..." Jiang Xuan was stunned.
Zhang Shixun smiled slightly, "I, your servant, have practiced martial arts for decades, and my skills are indeed extraordinary."
"I only knew that you were powerful, but I didn't expect that even your servants were so powerful." Jiang Xuan gave a thumbs up.
"It's just so-so." Zhang Shixun's expression was very calm.
Hei Wuchang continued to move forward. He encountered several animal traps along the way and used the same method to trap them all.
We came to a three-way intersection and stopped.
Standing at the fork in the road, Zhang Shixun asked Jiang Xuandao, "Old Chiang, should we separate or stay together?"
Jiang Xuan looked at the forks in the road, feeling apprehensive. "It's better not to separate. The three of us should stay together. If we run into danger, we can look after each other."
"This is a bit slow. I don't know how long it will take to explore all three roads." Zhang Shixun deliberately made things difficult for him.
Jiang Xuan shrank his neck. "I don't have the skills of your servant. If I get caught in a trap, I'll definitely be as miserable as Li Kui."
At this time, Hei Wuchang spoke: "Master, we should have found the treasure cave!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the passage on the right.
Jiang Xuan was overjoyed and asked hurriedly, "Are you sure?"
Hei Wuchang pretended not to hear and ignored him.
Zhang Shixun had no reason to doubt Hei Wuchang. He had a detector on him, and he said he had found it, so he must be right.
"Hei Wuchang, you go ahead and scout the way, we will wait here." Zhang Shixun said to Hei Wuchang.
There are animal traps along the way, and there must be more powerful traps waiting for them near the treasure cave.
Hei Wuchang handed the torch to Zhang Shixun and walked towards the depths without hesitation.
Watching Hei Wuchang's back disappear into the darkness, Jiang Xuan wondered, "Why doesn't he hold a torch? It's so dark inside, how can he see clearly?"
"His eyesight is better." Zhang Shixun replied indifferently.
"How well does it work? It's pitch black in there."
