Finally, after a difficult search, they discovered the hiding place of the remaining forces. It was a cave hidden deep in the valley, its entrance concealed by dense vines, making it almost impossible to spot.
"It seems we've found the right place." Xu Yuehuai gazed at the cave entrance, her eyes gleaming with determination. She knew that this mission was crucial to the overall situation, and they had to succeed.
Qi Guze nodded and said in a deep voice, "That's right, this is their hiding place. We need to be careful; it may be full of traps." His words revealed caution and vigilance, as if reminding everyone not to let their guard down.
They led their guards closer and closer to the cave. The cave was pitch black, as if it had swallowed all light. They lit torches, illuminating the path ahead. The flickering firelight in the darkness added to the eeriness and terror of this mysterious place.
"Watch out, there's a trap!" Xu Yuehuai suddenly shouted, dodging swiftly. A hidden weapon shot out from the shadows, heading straight for her. Her reaction was quick and agile, and she successfully evaded the attack.
But then, countless hidden weapons appeared!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Qi Guze was like a sharp cheetah, always ready to deal with sudden danger. Hidden weapons shot towards him like meteors in the night, but with lightning speed, he swung his sword, turning the weapons to dust in mid-air. He quickly turned back to Xu Yuehuai behind him, his eyes filled with worry: "Are you alright?"
Xu Yuehuai shook her head slightly, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her nerves. She raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, and a firm smile appeared on her lips: "I'm fine. Everyone must be careful. This place is full of traps and mechanisms. If you're not careful, you could fall into a place of no return."
Her voice, though soft, was like a thunderclap, instantly calming everyone's hearts. The guards exchanged glances and nodded in understanding. They knew that their unity and composure at this moment were key to navigating this dangerous place.
The group advanced cautiously, each step heavy with each movement. Suddenly, the sound of mechanisms activating rang out, and hidden weapons rained down from all directions once more. The guards scrambled to avoid them, simultaneously deflecting the projectiles with their own weapons.
"Don't panic, everyone! Proceed according to plan!" Qi Guze shouted loudly. His voice echoed in the secret room, like a firm belief that inspired everyone.
After a fierce battle, they finally escaped the clutches of the hidden weapons. However, the road ahead remained fraught with unknown dangers. They dared not relax their vigilance for a moment and continued to advance cautiously.
"Ah Yue, look here." Qi Guze suddenly stopped and pointed to a mark on the wall. His eyes gleamed with excitement, as if he had discovered some important clue.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai stepped forward and carefully examined the mark. She saw a complex pattern etched on the wall, resembling the switch of a mechanism. She reached out and gently pressed it.
With a soft "click," the wall slowly slid open, revealing a hidden passage. The passage was pitch black, as if leading to an endless abyss.
"It seems we've found the way to the depths," Xu Yuehuai said, her eyes gleaming with excitement. She knew that this mission was about to reach a crucial turning point.
The guards swarmed around, examining the newly discovered passage. Their faces lit up with joy, as if they saw the dawn of victory.
"Everyone, get ready, we're about to enter the passage," Qi Guze said, his voice deep and resonant.
The guards quickly prepared themselves and followed Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai into the passage. The passage was pitch black, and they could only rely on the torches in their hands to illuminate the path ahead.
They advanced cautiously, constantly on guard for any movement around them. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, causing the torchlight to flicker and reveal an eerie scene. The surrounding walls were covered with a dense array of sharp blades, as if they were about to attack them at any moment.
"Watch out!" Xu Yuehuai exclaimed, warning everyone to be careful.
The guards drew their weapons, ready to fight. They huddled together, afraid of being cut by the sharp blades.
Just as everyone held their breath in tension, the passage suddenly began to shake. The sharp blades on the walls began to move slowly, approaching them.
"Quick! We need to find the switch for the mechanism as soon as possible!" Qi Guze shouted, his voice revealing tension and anxiety.
Upon hearing this, everyone frantically searched for the switch to open the mechanism, but the walls were empty. They could only watch helplessly as the sharp blade drew ever closer, their hearts filled with despair.
Just then, Xu Yuehuai suddenly remembered something and shouted, "Everyone, look! The arrangement of those sharp blades seems to follow a pattern!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the sharp blades on the wall and indeed found that their arrangement was not random, but rather followed a certain pattern.
"Let's try moving our positions according to the pattern and see if we can avoid these sharp blades." Xu Yuehuai's voice was deep and firm, and his eyes shone with hope in the dark passage, as if they could illuminate the way forward in the darkness.
The guards nodded in agreement, their faces resolute. They knew that unity and composure were key to overcoming the difficulties.
"Everyone be careful, follow A-Yue's instructions." Qi Guze's voice echoed in the silent passage.
"yes!"
The guards began to move cautiously, following Xu Yuehuai's observations and analysis to avoid the blades' attack range according to a certain pattern. Every step they took was extremely careful, for fear of accidentally triggering a trap.
"Two steps to the left, then turn right." Xu Yuehuai's voice guided the group in the darkness. Her eyes gleamed with a sharp light, as if she could see through all illusions and traps.
The guards followed closely behind, their movements swift and agile, like a group of ghosts flitting through the darkness. Their heartbeats echoed clearly in the silent corridor.
After some effort, they finally managed to avoid the blade's attack range. The crisis in the passage was temporarily averted, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They leaned against the wall, panting, with relieved smiles on their faces.
"Great! We did it!" one of the guards shouted excitedly, his eyes gleaming with joy.
"Yes, it's all thanks to the Princess's observation and analysis," another guard chimed in, his face showing admiration.
Xu Yuehua smiled slightly, waved her hand, and said modestly, "This is all thanks to everyone. We just worked together to overcome the difficulties."
However, they knew that more challenges awaited them. They had to remain calm and united to successfully complete this mission.
