"No need! Just stand back!"
Zhang Fan patted Mr. Jiang Hai on the shoulder and retreated a dozen steps with Nangong Manyun!
Brother Chongzi also caught up with him: "Mr. Zhang Fan, you are such a ruthless person! I just said... After I get out, I will definitely set up a Tianmen and dig out all the treasures in this mountain! He threw a flying knife at me and almost stabbed me to death on the pillar! This is too cruel, how did you convince him! Let him be your little brother?"
Jiang Hai tilted his head. Even though he was very dissatisfied with Brother Chongzi, he was also very curious about the topic that Chongzi asked.
Zhang Fan made very few moves along the way. Although he showed his strength, he gave people the impression that he was always calm and indifferent! He was a person who did not fight with the world.
But Zijin Taoist is completely different, more like someone who can accomplish great things! Why would Zijin Taoist follow Zhang Fan so wholeheartedly?
Zhang Fan looked at the back of the Purple Gold Taoist and asked, "Have you ever heard of this saying?"
The bug asked with a smile: "What are you talking about! Could it be that Taoist Zijin and you are childhood friends? Or brothers?"
Nangong Manyun also looked at him curiously!
Zhang Fan smiled coldly and said, "People who can subdue wild beasts are often more ferocious than wild beasts!"
The expression on Brother Chongzi's face changed, and a light flashed in Jiang Hai's pupils!
"I didn't subdue the Taoist Zi Jin, I just became friends with him!" Zhang Fan said easily.
At the same time, Taoist Zi Jin snorted coldly, a cute glow flashed on his hands, and the Taotie Fang in his hands shot out instantly!
There was a loud bang!
In front of him was a tall city gate, with a big hole suddenly appearing in the lower right corner.
The flying Taotie's fangs pierced through the wooden door, hovered and flew for dozens of meters, and then flew back as fast as lightning!
In the blink of an eye, the Purple Gold Taoist caught the Taotie's fang that flew back and stood still with steady steps! Only a cold voice came over.
"The door is open!"
The flashlight in Brother Chongzi's hand fell to the ground with a snap, and Jiang Hai's breathing became much faster!
Even Nangong Manyun was shocked, looking at the blurred back figure after the layers of volcanic ash were raised because of the violent explosion of the gate! Not only was he very shocked.
The way Taoist Zi Jin opened the door was so unexpected that Jiang Hai and Chong Zi were stunned.
"Oh my God, this... is this still a human being? This is simply a tank!" Brother Chongzi swallowed his saliva.
Zhang Fan said calmly, "Go and see if there is any mechanism behind the door. It's causing such a big commotion! If there really is something, it will definitely come over quickly."
Taoist Zijin nodded, took out the cold flame from his backpack, pulled out the fuse, and threw it into the smoke and dust! Then he grasped the dagger and rushed into the door quickly.
It took Jiang Hai two seconds to come back to his senses. His eyes stayed on Zhang Fan's profile. He opened his mouth several times, but ultimately let out a sigh.
"Let's go and take a look at what's inside this door!"
Zhang Fan looked straight ahead and crossed the gap with Mr. Fei on his back!
Taoist Zi Jin was surrounded by several shadows, with cold flames thrown all around him, illuminating the scene inside clearly.
Behind the door is a gate similar to that of an ancient city. Around the gate, there are dozens of ancient chariots and hundreds of statues, blocking the entrance! These statues hold weapons in their hands, just like an army! It is like a realistic situation when the city gate was sealed and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
Taoist Zi Jin stood in front of several statues. These statues were very special. The armor on their bodies covered the shape of a human, but under the helmet was a snake head. The snake head opened its mouth slightly and stuck out its tongue, looking at Taoist Zi Jin under his feet.
According to the layout of ancient cities, the people stationed here should be people like the deputy general or the main general of the city!
He can be considered an important figure, but he is actually only at the outermost part of the city.
"Have you found anything?" Zhang Fan came to Taoist Zi Jin.
"Master, there are no traps here. There is not even a trace of them. But there are many chariots on the slope ahead! But the axles are all rusted. Even if the traps are triggered, they will not rush down from top to bottom."
Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows: "Not even a trap designed to occupy the terrain?"
Taoist Zi Jin nodded slightly!
This also surprised Brother Chongzi, who was following behind.
"That's impossible... This is a very important place. It's really weird! There are all kinds of ghosts and monsters in this mountain. A city like this should be full of traps!"
Zhang Fan didn't say much. Looking at these special snake-man statues, he thought of many things.
In the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there are records about snake people!
However, the snake people recorded in the book were not as ferocious as they looked. On the contrary...these snake people were born with the quality of longevity! In order to gain longevity, some people would kill snake people and take their blood to prolong their lifespan.
So no one knows whether he was seeking refuge or was tired of killing, and he disappeared without a trace.
But what is certain is that these snake people are intelligent and no different from humans.
Combined with the carvings on the door, Zhang Fan immediately thought that this city at the foot of Wanku Mountain might not have been built by humans! But by... these snake people!
"There really is no sign at all, it's really strange! When we passed the ancient city that suppressed Yaochi Road before, I saw many traces of traps! Maybe they were triggered by someone, or maybe they were broken due to disrepair! But they are there after all... It doesn't make sense for such a big city to not take any precautions!"
Brother Chongzi was scratching his head beside him. In his impression, as long as he came to a place with few people and treasures, there must be many traps.
In the past, he and Marsson visited many ancient tombs, and countless of his men died for various strange reasons because they were trapped by traps. Even if it was just a small cut on the arm.
Even before coming to Wanku Mountain, he and Marsson had visited the Count's Palace under the Alps, where they had encountered many mechanical attacks!
However, this ancient city was so magnificent and grand, but there were no traps! This always made him feel that something was missing.
"Maybe your previous guess was wrong!" Nangong Manyun supported Jiang Hai as he passed by: "Because the paintings on the door are about daily life, not fantasy! Perhaps it is to prevent the lives of ordinary people from being disturbed, so there are no traps here."
"Ridiculous! Miss Nangong, where do you think this is? A paradise? Or a ridiculous utopia? This is the home of the Qiong Snake, and there are dead bones everywhere, and countless dead and injured! You told me that these monsters would consider human safety? Pah!"?
