After Rong Chengxuan opened the door, what he expected did not happen. Only some old dust fell down. He raised the night pearl in his hand and looked around. He saw that it was a small stone chamber covered with dust. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
After confirming that there was no danger, Rong Chengxuan called out to Yun Wanwan, "Wanwan, come here!"
Yun Wanwan followed his instructions and walked over. Unsure of where this place was, she remained cautious, walking with her backs to Rong Chengxuan. When they reached the end of the stone chamber, Yun Wanwan whispered, "Rong Chengxuan, there's a door ahead..."
Rong Chengxuan nodded and told Yun Wanwan to move aside. He turned sideways and pushed open the small door that had been there for years. Before him was another bottomless passage. After confirming that there was no danger, he whispered to Yun Wanwan, "Let's go."
The two of them entered the passage one after the other. Before leaving, Yun Wanwan hesitated for a moment, feeling that something was strange.
She didn't know what was wrong, but she just felt a chill on her back, so she subconsciously closed the small door behind her, bolted it, and then caught up with Rong Chengxuan.
There seemed to be an echo in this small passage, reverberating with the footsteps of the two people, making it seem particularly eerie. If Yun Wanwan had come down alone, she might not have felt scared, but now with Rong Chengxuan by her side, Yun Wanwan inexplicably got goosebumps all over her body and quickly walked to Rong Chengxuan's side.
Rong Chengxuan subconsciously took Yun Wanwan's hand, only to feel her hand was icy cold in his. "What's wrong? Are you scared?"
Yun Wanwan pursed her lips, subconsciously denying Rong Chengxuan's words, "How is that possible? There's no way I'm scared."
Rong Chengxuan smiled lightly and did not expose Yun Wanwan's lie. He just took Yun Wanwan's hand and walked along the corridor. At the end was a stone door. Rong Chengxuan stretched out his hand and pushed it open. It was still a corridor.
Yun Wanwan was used to being cautious, so she pulled out a piece of jade from her bosom and threw it out. It landed on the ground, which was a different black color from the current floor. The jade stone rolled twice, but nothing happened.
Yun Wanwan thought she was just being cautious, so he breathed a sigh of relief. However, at this moment, a drop of water fell from the cave. Under the gaze of the four eyes of the two, it just happened to fall on the piece of jade that Yun Wanwan had thrown out, and then the piece of jade actually melted on the ground!
Then something even more terrifying happened. Drop after drop of poisonous water dripped from above. When Yun Wanwan saw this scene, she gasped.
If Yun Wanwan and Rong Chengxuan had walked in without any preparation, they would have been dead by now.
Rong Chengxuan was clearly frightened by this scene. He took a step back with Yun Wanwan and said, "This road is blocked. Let's go back first."
Just as they turned around, they heard footsteps coming from the corridor, "Da-da-da-da-"
The footsteps became faster and more frequent, and finally changed from walking to running. Suddenly, there was no sound at all, and the light of the night pearl could only illuminate a small area in front of the eyes.
Yun Wanwan and Rong Chengxuan kept silent and listened attentively. In this stone corridor, there were only the sounds of Rong Chengxuan and her breathing. There was no sound of a third person breathing at all.
Rong Chengxuan and Yun Wanwan took a few steps back. Suddenly, a bright light flashed in the darkness. Rong Chengxuan subconsciously drew his sword to fight. The opponent's heavy sword came down on his head, and his palms were numb. In a flash, Rong Chengxuan saw clearly who the person was with the help of the light emitted by the night pearl.
When Rong Chengxuan saw clearly who it was, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat - the person who was wielding the heavy sword was actually a puppet!
Yun Wanwan's mind raced as she immediately realized that the designer of this trap had unusual intentions and was so vicious!
If the mechanism had been triggered in the small stone chamber just now, he and Yun Wanwan would probably have retreated immediately. The design of this puppet did not seem like something that could be made in this era.
Rong Chengxuan guessed that the puppet must not have the ability to fly with lightness skills. The area here is spacious and cannot be compared with the stone chamber just now. Although it is still a bit difficult to fly with lightness skills, it is not a big problem for Rong Chengxuan. It may just take more time.
But as if the designer of this trap had predicted it correctly, the sound of "da-da-da" came from behind Rong Chengxuan and Yun Wanwan again. While Rong Chengxuan was carrying the heavy sword in the puppet's hand, he turned his head to look behind him and found that there was also a puppet holding a heavy sword behind him.
Rong Chengxuan secretly groaned inwardly, withdrew his strength and slashed forward with his backhand. The blade of the fine sword hit the arm of the puppet, making a "clang" sound. After one slash of the sword, the puppet's arm did not move at all, but Rong Chengxuan's hand holding the sword was numbed.
Rong Chengxuan quickly guessed the material used to make this puppet. Before he could react, the puppet mechanically swung its sword and chopped him down again.
Rong Chengxuan found the right moment, turned his wrist, and exerted some clever force. Yun Wanwan only saw a sword flower, and then the heavy sword in the puppet's hand was actually split into two halves by Rong Chengxuan!
This kind of technique was something Yun Wanwan had never seen before. She stared at it in fascination, not even daring to make a sound.
The puppet didn't care about being without a weapon. It opened its fingers mechanically, threw down the heavy sword, and then swung its proud mechanical arm up.
Rong Chengxuan felt his head was twice as big as before. If it was just one puppet, it would be fine, but now there were two puppets at the same time, which made Rong Chengxuan unable to split himself into two. He could only find the right opportunity to use his sword to violently dismantle one of the puppets in a few seconds.
Then he ran in the direction Yun Wanwan came from. When he reached the stone door leading out of the stone chamber, Rong Chengxuan discovered that there was actually a second way. That way was hidden and could only be found if you looked carefully.
It was also a stone corridor. At the end of the corridor was another door. This time it was a big door, but the view was suddenly clear. Behind this door were three small paths. Rong Chengxuan and Yun Wanwan had never been here before, so they didn't know what to choose.
Yun Wanwan let go of Rong Chengxuan's hand and made a talisman with her hand. A small snake came out from nowhere. Rong Chengxuan subconsciously wanted to draw his sword to kill the snake that suddenly appeared.
Fortunately, Yun Wanwan was quick to act and stopped Rong Chengxuan from drawing his sword. "Don't! Rong Chengxuan! If we want to get out, we're relying on this snake."
Yun Wanwan whistled and the snake began to move. Yun Wanwan moved Rong Chengxuan and asked him to follow the snake's footsteps and walk up.
