Chapter 111 Close the door and enlarge the spider!
"Ajiu, stand behind me."
Chu Xuanyi walked to the front of the rockery, pointed his finger like a sword and muttered something. A golden light shot out from his fingertips and touched an inconspicuous stone on the rockery.
"open!"
There was a "click" sound as the mechanism turned, and the whole rockery slowly cracked in the middle, revealing a dark, bottomless staircase leading downwards.
A strong wind filled with a mixture of blood, decay and coldness suddenly rushed out from the cave entrance!
This smell is hundreds or thousands of times stronger than what I felt in the sewer before!
Chu Xuanyi immediately opened a protective barrier to cover him and Ajiu.
He took Jiu's hand and walked in without hesitation.
The passage to the secret room is very long, and the walls are inlaid with stones that emit a faint green light. The further you go down, the thicker the netherworld air becomes.
Finally, the scene became clear.
They came to a huge underground cave.
Inside the cave, the walls were engraved with strange and twisted totems of the Black Bone Tribe, and a huge and complex blood-colored magic circle was painted on the ground. There were still dried, dark brown bloodstains on the nodes of the magic circle.
The whole space was filled with a disgusting evil smell.
This is indeed the place where the Wugut tribe performs evil rituals!
In the center of this huge cave, the most eye-catching thing is a huge stone door that is several meters high and made of unknown black rock.
Countless black vines as thick as arms, like living things, were wrapped around the stone gate.
The strangest thing was that from behind the tightly closed stone door, there were bursts of heavy and powerful sounds, like the beating of a giant beast's heart.
"Boom..."
"Boom..."
"Boom..."
Ajiu's little face had completely lost its color. Her little hands tightly grasped Chu Xuanyi's sleeves, and she pointed at the door with a trembling voice.
"Sir...that door...inside the door...something is...jumping..."
Ajiu's voice was tearful, and her little hands were tightly grasping Chu Xuanyi's sleeves.
Chu Xuanyi pulled Ajiu behind him, his expression more solemn than ever before.
"Don't be afraid." He said in a deep voice, "With me here, nothing can hurt you."
But the moment he finished speaking——
“Boom——!!!”
Behind him, a deafening roar came from the direction of the passage he came from!
It was the sound of the mechanism closing completely.
The only way out has been cut off!
Outside the rockery, Prince Yu Xiao Jing stood with his hands behind his back. The gentle smile on his face had long disappeared, replaced by the joy of success.
"Master Imperial Master, you are truly the smartest fool I have ever seen."
Behind him, there were already people standing there without him noticing.
There were masters from the Prince Yu's mansion dressed in the uniforms of his guards, and dozens of elite members of the Wugut tribe with strange auras and resentful eyes. They were like evil spirits crawling out of hell, surrounding this small area tightly.
The two personal guards of the Regent who were left outside by Chu Xuanyi to guard were now surrounded by enemies that outnumbered them by several times. They stood back to back, their long swords tightly grasped in their hands.
"Prince Yu! You are colluding with the evil clan and intending to rebel! The prince will not let you go!" one of the guards shouted sternly.
"Treason?" Xiao Jing sneered as if he had heard some ridiculous joke. "No, no, no, you're using the wrong words. This isn't treason, this is... taking back everything that belongs to me."
He waved his hand and said casually, "No need to leave him alive. Deal with him cleanly. Don't let the blood stain the grass in my yard."
"yes!"
…
Inside the secret room.
As the boulder fell, the last ray of light disappeared.
The entire underground cave was instantly plunged into pitch-black darkness.
Only the strange stones on the wall emitted an even more eerie green light, making everything look like a ghost town.
"Sir..." Ajiu was so scared that his little body trembled and he clung even tighter to Chu Xuanyi.
Chu Xuanyi was unusually calm. He just snorted coldly with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"Luring someone into a trap? Your Highness, this trap is a bit too smelly."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded from the depths of the dark cave.
"Hehehe... Chu Xuanyi, there's a road to heaven but you don't take it, and there's no door to hell but you insist on breaking in!"
As the sound rang out, a hunched figure slowly walked out from the shadows in the corner of the cave.
The man was wearing a tattered black robe, his face was covered with wrinkles like cracked tree bark, and his eyes were turbid and resentful. He was the elder of the Wugut tribe who escaped in the sewer that day!
He didn't escape far away, but hid in the basement of Prince Yu's Mansion!
"It's you, old spider!" As soon as Jiu saw him, he forgot his fear and pointed at him and shouted, "You are that... that huge black spider!"
"Little bitch!"
As soon as the elder saw Ajiu, resentment instantly burst out from his turbid eyes.
"It's like searching high and low for something, only to find it without any effort! I was just worried that I couldn't find you, the sacrifice saddled with holy blood, but I didn't expect you to show up on your own! Hahahaha!"
He let out a manic laugh that shook the entire cave.
Chu Xuanyi protected Ajiu even more closely. He looked at the clan elder, then at the strange stone door in the center of the cave, and instantly understood everything.
This is a complete trap.
A killing trap set up for him by Prince Yu in the open and the Wugut tribe in the dark!
"I see." Chu Xuanyi's tone remained calm. "I was wondering how His Royal Highness Prince Yu could reveal his true identity so easily. It turns out he's not stupid, but he simply doesn't intend to hide it anymore."
"You're very clever."
The elder smiled sinisterly and said, "It's a pity that his cleverness backfired. His Royal Highness Prince Yu had long anticipated that with your skills, Chu Xuanyi, you would definitely find this place. So he took advantage of your trick and simply opened the door to invite you in!"
He stretched out his skinny finger and pointed at Jiu, his voice full of greed and excitement.
"Because not only do we need you dead, we need her... to come in alive!"
"What do you want to do with Ah Jiu?" Chu Xuanyi's eyes turned completely cold.
"What?" The elder's smile grew increasingly sinister. "Of course... to fulfill our Black Bone Clan's century-old wish! Behind this door lies our Black Bone Clan's greatest treasure—the Nether Heart! As long as we use this little bitch's holy blood as bait and sacrifice her to the Nether Heart, we can fully awaken its power!"
"By then, not to mention the Great Yin Dynasty, even the entire world will prostrate itself at the feet of my Wugu tribe! And you, Chu Xuanyi, will have the honor of being the first to witness this great moment!"
"So, you want to use Ah Jiu as a sacrifice." After hearing this, Chu Xuanyi was not panicked. Instead, he nodded gently, and even showed a faint smile on his face.
His reaction stunned the elders: "You...what are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at you," Chu Xuanyi's smile turned cold and sarcastic, "You're really... fanciful."
