Chapter 340 Yanyan, I know you are inside
Xiao Nanyue's hoarse voice echoed in the empty underground palace.
At this moment, a faint blue phosphorescent light suddenly appeared on the stone wall, illuminating the second stone door engraved with cloud patterns.
Xiao Nanyan stared at the bronze crossbow mechanism looming on the palace roof and sneered:
He knew that since Xiyan had just left here and hid in the second stone door, the mechanism here had been opened.
Emperor Xie Zhen of Southern Zhao may seem gentle, but he's actually a ruthless character. He clearly intended to use this trick to take his life and avenge his daughter.
If Xiao Nanyan died here, it would be because he had trespassed into the Nanzhao Palace and died silently, and Tianqi would have no legitimate reason to pursue the matter.
This time, Xiao Nanyue did not act rashly. He remained calm, closed his eyes and reviewed the various traps he had just experienced outside. The "Luoshu-Nine Palaces" he had studied before was also lingering in his mind.
After a moment, his face regained its composure.
At this moment, he analyzed the places where the mechanism might appear one by one.
The pearl curtain at the entrance looks soft, but each pearl contains a poison needle. If you touch it, even if you are not killed by the poison needle, it will instantly trigger the Thousand Machine Crossbow on the top and the crossbow arrow will be shot again.
The golden glass bricks underground are spliced in the shape of the Eight Diagrams. There must be a mechanism buried underneath. If triggered, you will be drawn into the flip-up knife array.
The rockery rocks all around, and the flowers and plants in the palace, would trigger a poison barrier if touched, and inhaling them for three breaths would cause paralysis all over the body.
Therefore, the rockery, flowers, and plants must not be touched. Only by cutting off the switch of the Thousand Machine Crossbow can the second stone door be opened.
A sneer appeared on Xiao Nanyan's lips, but the paranoia in his eyes became more intense:
"Yan Yan, even if this is Yama Palace, I will take you back!"
He hid the handkerchief close to his body, stepped on the fluorescent stones on the ground with his boots, counted the directions of the eight trigrams, took staggered steps, and walked towards the stone gate full of murderous intent.
Finally, after avoiding the flowers and plants and bypassing the numerous traps, I was about to reach the second palace gate. Just as my toes touched the bluestone bricks, I suddenly felt a slight sinking sensation on the soles of my feet.
Looking down, he saw spider-web-like cracks appearing on the surface of the blue brick where he had just stepped.
Xiao Nanyue was shocked and actually triggered the ground-sinking thorn array.
His pupils suddenly contracted, and he immediately used his lightness skills to flip backwards.
But at this moment, the ground of the entire underground palace suddenly undulated and twisted like boiling water, and hundreds of sharp spikes broke through the ground!
Xiao Nanyue had no choice but to jump up, take a deep breath, and use his skill of walking on duckweed and crossing water to fly among the bushes of thorns.
But human strength is limited after all. Xiao Nanyue knew that he could not hover in the air forever. Just at this moment, when he was using the force to leap, he found that the luminous stone on the stone wall on the left began to flicker strangely.
Xiao Nanyue was secretly shocked and suddenly changed the trajectory of his body.
Sure enough, the place where they had originally planned to land was now spewing out scarlet poisonous flames. Xiao Nanyue knew that this was the fire mirage smoke unique to Nanzhao. Once inhaled, the whole body would be paralyzed and at the mercy of others.
Xiao Nanyue gathered his last breath of true energy and used the immortal hanging painting technique to press his body against the stone wall. After taking a short breath, he shot like an arrow towards the Thousand Machine Crossbow on the dome. With a sudden exertion of force in his hand, he cut off the protruding mechanism of the Thousand Machine Crossbow with a sword.
In an instant, everything in the underground palace returned to its original state, and then the second palace gate slowly opened.
Breaking through the second palace gate was extremely dangerous. Xiao Nanyue's whole body was already soaked in sweat, and he was on the verge of collapse.
He leaned on his sword, took a short breath, and then staggered into the second underground palace.
Looking around, the layout here is roughly the same as that of the underground palace just now.
Xiao Nanyue learned from Mo Ren that there were three palace gates in the Shuyu Underground Palace. So, Xiyan must be behind the last stone gate at this moment.
The luminous stone in the cracks of the stone wall flickered, reflecting his blood-stained profile. His black jade eyes were fixed on the stone door not far away, as if they wanted to burn through it.
He suddenly straightened his back, and the wound under his black clothes was bruised and began to bleed again, but he was completely unaware.
His Adam's apple rolled as he suppressed his panting. He faced the stone door and slowly spoke:
"Yanyan, I know you are in there."
The moment the words fell, Xiyan, who was on the other side of the stone gate, suddenly clutched the hem of her moon-white skirt.
At this moment, she was standing behind the stone gate, looking through her glass eyes at the blood and sweat that kept oozing out of his body and sticking to his body. The regent who was so arrogant and cold in the past now looked so embarrassed.
Just now, he broke through two mechanical arrays and was still shaking in front of her eyes. In this world, the only person who could survive the Nanzhao Thousand Machine Dragon Trapping Array was probably Xiao Nanyue.
At this moment, hearing Xiao Nanya calling her name, Xiyan felt as if something suddenly hit her chest hard.
She couldn't express how much she hated him, but she didn't want to see him again.
