Chapter 453 Secret Passage
Chi Jingyang felt a dent in his heart, wondering how this bald man's vision could be so sharp, yet his hands kept moving.
He took out some gravel he had picked up on the road, turned his wrist, and threw it straight at the mechanism on the stone wall!
The crisp "click" sound was drowned out by the sound of the huge stone wall rubbing against each other, but everyone present still heard it clearly.
The same "boom" sound was heard not only from the direction they came in, but also from deeper inside the cave.
Chi Jingyang actually planned to trap them here!
Jiang Yanchuan picked up the dumpling in front of him, and saw Chi Jingyang retreating with his peripheral vision, so he made a quick decision: "Get out!"
I don’t know how far the road ahead is, so it would be safer to go back the same way.
The rest of the people didn't think anything else and subconsciously followed the voice's instructions and quickly flew backwards.
The rumbling sound of the stone slabs rubbing against each other became louder and louder, as if it was hitting their ears directly. Looking at the stone gates on both sides that were slowing down faster and faster, they wanted to speed up their pace, but they were always forced to retreat step by step by the hidden arrows shot from nowhere!
"Your Majesty!" Le Chen hardened his heart, "General Gao and I will clear the way on both sides, Your Majesty, you lead the little prince forward——"
"That's right!" Gao Siyuan responded, "Your Majesty, just move forward, and leave the rest to us!"
The two of them avoided the hidden weapons that attacked their sides whenever possible, but they always stepped forward to knock away the arrows shot at Jiang Yanchuan's side.
Gao Siyuan's body was not as agile as Lechen's, and he had several new wounds on his body.
Jiang Yanchuan clenched his teeth, his eyes gloomy.
The hidden weapons were dense and their whereabouts were unpredictable. The stone door that had fallen more than halfway blocked out the already scarce light in the cave. The dark and dangerous environment made everyone's heartbeat speed rise to a new height...
However, they were still a long, long distance away from the stone gate.
These two people had clearly prepared for the worst-case scenario of being left behind, and wanted to protect them and leave first!
He didn't want the young man to be in danger with him, but he couldn't bear to see the two of them trapped here, so he said in a deep voice: "Speed up, don't worry about the hidden weapons."
"If you want to go, let's go together!" The little guy in his arms also echoed.
It's just physical pain, but it's better than being trapped here for a long time and starving to death.
Even if there is some deadly poison on it, the young guy's "Merit Mall" is enough to save their lives!
He reached out and pressed the kid's head to his chest, buried it tightly, and ran towards the cave entrance with all his strength.
Le Chen and Gao Siyuan looked at each other, and quickly surrounded Jiang Yanchuan to block the hidden weapons that were fired from nowhere.
Several people gathered their strength and ran towards the cave entrance.
Suddenly I heard a voice halfway through -
[Hey, where's Uncle Chi?] Jiang Yingcheng was nervous, but he still kept an eye on the uncles, [Where did he go?!]
Liaochen turned around suddenly!
Stones kept falling from the top of their heads, smashing towards them. He put all his energy into clearing the obstacles, thinking that this was the only way out. Chi Jingyang could only retreat with them. In addition, Emperor Mingze and Gao Siyuan behind him were both very skilled, so he kept holding on to this bastard and retreating. Who would have thought that -
In the blink of an eye, Chi Jingyang disappeared in front of them!
Are you born in the year of the cat?!
[Ah! There is a secret passage here! ]
Under the strict protection of her father, Jiang Yingcheng secretly poked out a pair of big round eyes and kept scanning the cave which was getting darker.
[Oh my, if we quit today, we will have to wait for the people inside to turn on the machine again!] Jiang Yingcheng was extremely anxious, [The secret passage there leads directly to "Taoyuan", so even if the stone gate really falls, it will be fine!]
[But, but that secret passage has been gone for a while, how is Cheng Cheng going to guide father back?! ]
Jiang Yingcheng tightly grasped the fabric on her handsome father's shoulders and pulled out a large tuft of hair.
[Brother Tong, Brother Tong, please help Cheng Cheng think of a solution! ]
The three people present suddenly stopped.
[Huh?! ]
Jiang Yingcheng raised his head and looked at the two uncles: [What, what's wrong? ! ]
Have you discovered something dangerous again? !
The number of hidden weapons fired at this place gradually decreased, and the burden on Le Chen and Gao Siyuan was slightly lightened. They also had enough energy to observe the situation around them.
I don’t know if it was their illusion, but I always felt that the speed at which the stone gate in the distance was falling seemed to be gradually slowing down.
Seeing the young man looking around in fear, Jiang Yanchuan spoke in a deep voice, "Chi Jingyang is missing."
Liao Chen and Gao Siyuan immediately understood Emperor Mingze's intention, and they also echoed him softly.
"We kept rushing outside, but we didn't see anyone passing us. This bastard must still be here!"
"Since this guy can hide here, it means -" Lechen looked around, "there must be another passage here."
Jiang Yingcheng's eyes lit up!
[That’s right! There is a secret passage here! Uncle Chi is still hiding in there now!!]
Jiang Yingcheng used his mind to draw the topographic map that 007 had called up on the panel, and he muttered unconsciously in his heart: [Hmm, it’s just fifty meters behind us, behind that huge rock…]
Jiang Yanchuan turned slightly without making a sound, and looked towards the corner that the young man was talking about.
Very dark and biased.
The edge of the stone wall was covered with irregular shadows. Jiang Yanchuan recalled the various things that happened on the road of escape, and he also had a guess in his heart -
They didn't hear any unusual sounds along the way, and it didn't seem like the third stone gate had ever been opened or closed.
There must be branches and vines covering it, blocking the entrance to the secret passage. Taking advantage of the extremely dark environment in the cave, he was able to hide his body easily.
Jiang Yanchuan winked at the two of them, and after looking at each other, Le Chen and Gao Siyuan slowed down their pace and walked towards the direction the young man said.
On the way, he was groping on the walls on both sides as if trying to find the secret passage by his own strength.
The two of them were getting closer and closer to the secret passage, and Jiang Yingcheng's heart was in his throat.
[It’s almost there, it’s almost there! ]
[Ahhhh, keep your voice down! Uncle Chi is watching us from the entrance to the secret passage!!]
【Wow wow wow, here it comes, here it comes! Uncle Lechen is about to touch it! 】
Everyone in the cave held their breath subconsciously. Le Chen turned around to look at Gao Siyuan not far away, then suddenly jumped forward!
"Um?!"
"ah!!"
Two voices rang out at the same time.
Le Chen tripped over the stone at the door and rushed in, falling on Chi Jingyang who was eavesdropping on the noise in the cave.
“It hurts, it hurts—”
