Chapter 114 Opening the Door
Everyone had already left. Although Mao Qin hated Zhong Nianyao to the core, she quickly followed. She didn't dare to stay here alone, otherwise she would lose her life.
Continuing forward, they encountered some minor troubles. However, thanks to Zhong Nianyao's presence, they were able to resolve the problem smoothly.
Lu Yichen and his group were relatively unscathed. Only Zhou Yifu, who had a lower combat power, sustained minor skin injuries. However, after applying the ointment Zhong Nianyao had given him, his wounds were no longer serious.
Zhao Si and his companions were much more unlucky. Zhong Nianyao was really practicing what she had just said, and she didn't care about their lives at all. As a result, they had more and more wounds on their bodies.
Their hatred towards Ma Qin also deepened, because they felt that if it weren't for what Ma Qin said, Zhong Nian Yao would not have completely ignored them, and they would not have been in such a mess.
Therefore, when Makin was in danger, they simply chose to turn a blind eye.
Among them, Ma Qin was the most seriously injured. Now, she no longer only hated Zhong Nianyao, but also Zhao Si and the others.
However, because of her current situation and her lack of strength, she could only bury all her hatred deep in her heart. When she had the chance, she would make sure all those people go to hell.
Everyone finally arrived in front of the main tomb chamber, and a tall stone door blocked everyone's way.
Zhou Yifu stepped forward and, after a careful inspection, said, "This stone door is mechanically secured. There's no way to force it open. Otherwise, the entire general's tomb would collapse."
These words shocked Zhao Si and others who were planning to tear down the door by force, and then they felt relieved.
Soon, everyone began to search for the mechanism. However, the massive stone door and the wall were seamlessly integrated, and there was no place around to hide the mechanism. The front wall was clearly visible.
After searching for a while, everyone almost turned over every wall and floor, but still couldn't find any mechanism.
Lu Yichen frowned, looking at the stone gate in front of him, his eyes deep, no one knew what he was thinking.
"Do you need help?" Zhong Nianyao took a step forward, turned her head, looked at Lu Yichen, and said directly, "After all, you gave me a lot of compensation. Don't you plan to earn it back?"
Hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, Lu Yichen laughed. He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "Then thank you very much."
Zhong Nian Yao directly took out the compass she had found earlier from her bag, then took a step forward towards the gate, muttering to herself.
While fiddling with the compass, her right hand was constantly counting with her fingers.
But in just a moment, a light flashed in Zhong Nian Yao's eyes, and then she put the compass in her hand back into her bag, and walked straight towards the stone gate.
Everyone saw Zhong Nianyao's actions, so when she stepped forward, everyone consciously stepped aside.
Even Zhao Si and his companions did not try to stop him. They knew in their hearts that they had been searching for so long that if they could find it, they would have found it long ago.
It is obvious that Zhong Nianyao has found the mechanism now. Unless you are a fool, who would try to stop her at this time?
Zhong Nian Yao quickly arrived in front of the stone gate. Her legs felt sore, so she stretched out her hand and pressed directly on a place on the stone gate.
Before everyone could figure out what was going on, the place on the stone door where Zhong Nian Yao had just pressed actually sank.
“Boom—”
As the sound was heard, the stone door that was originally closed slowly opened to both sides.
“Get out of the way!”
A faint light flashed in Zhong Nian Yao's eyes, and then she shouted loudly, then she dodged quickly and rolled to the side.
Dense arrows shot out like rain from the gap in the slowly opening door.
Zhou Yifu and the others reacted the moment Zhong Nianyao opened her mouth. They almost did not hesitate at all and quickly dodged to the side.
Zhao Si and his companions were a beat slower, but they dodged quickly and barely avoided the rain of arrows.
Ma Qin was already injured, and coupled with her hatred and disdain for Zhong Nian Yao, she did not react immediately after hearing Zhong Nian Yao's voice.
By the time she reacted, the arrow, flashing with a cold light, had already flown in front of her. She was so scared that she subconsciously pulled the people around her out to block the arrow, while she dodged to the side and fell to the ground.
The person she pushed out was none other than Li Lu, who had the misfortune to be standing close to her.
Li Lu had already quickly dodged to the side, but he hadn't anticipated the force that pulled him out and thrust him into the dense rain of arrows. Before he could even think, he felt the pain of the arrow piercing his body.
He felt his body being pierced by arrows, blood constantly flowing out, and his life slipping away.
Only when he fell did he see clearly the man who had pushed him out. He stared at Makin with his eyes wide open, as if he wanted to remember the man who had killed him, even if he went to hell.
"ah--"
The rain of arrows came and went quickly, and stopped in just a moment.
Ma Qin, who had escaped the disaster, had no time to breathe a sigh of relief before she saw Li Lu staring at her with his eyes wide open.
The horrifying look made her scream uncontrollably.
"You bitch!"
Seeing Li Lu's tragic death, Zhao Si stepped forward and slapped Ma Qin hard, "You actually pushed Li Lu out to die. Why don't you just go and die!"
Qian Wang was still frightened at this time. After discovering Li Lu's miserable condition, he also agreed with Zhao Si's actions.
"It's not me, it's not me!"
After being slapped, Ma Qin acted as if she didn't feel the pain on her cheek. She kept grabbing her hair and shaking her head. Then, as if she had thought of something, she pointed directly in the direction of Zhong Nianyao and spoke frantically, "It's her. It's all her fault. She opened the door and triggered the mechanism. If it weren't for her, Li Lu wouldn't be dead. That's right, it's all her fault. It has nothing to do with me."
