The passage they were in seemed to be surrounded by walls, but in fact they were walking among poisonous snakes and insects, and there were small holes drilled everywhere.
That's how the rustling sound just now came from.
But the clever thing is that these things can only move back and forth between the hubs of the mechanism and will never touch the mechanism that is in operation.
Such a project is shocking just by looking at it. Ji Changying finds it hard to imagine how the Qu family did it.
It's a pity that such craftsmanship was almost destroyed by the emperor of the previous dynasty. It's really a pity.
"We're here, follow me closely."
Ren Dongnan suddenly stopped while walking and gave Ji Changying a serious instruction.
She hadn't found the location of her master's friend yet, but when she saw the exit ahead, she had to focus her attention and be cautious.
An iron fence slowly rose at the exit in front, and the bottom of each iron pillar was covered with sharp spikes that emitted a cold glow.
There were two people standing on the other side, looking over here with caution, but the distance was too far and I couldn't see their faces clearly.
Ren Dongnan moved.
He flashed to the iron fence. The two people outside saw his appearance clearly, their eyes narrowed slightly, and they were about to give a secret signal when Ren Dongnan had already taken action.
The flying knife in his hand flew towards the necks of the two men at such a high speed that the man in front of him couldn't react in time and was stabbed in the throat. His grip loosened and the iron fence stabbed down towards Ren Dongnan's body: "A Ying! Don't let this fence fall to the ground!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Changying grabbed the fence with all her might, and she held it in her hand without letting it fall down at all.
The man behind blocked the flying knife with the long sword in his hand with a "ding-dong" sound, and barely took a few steps back to stand firm. When he saw the situation clearly and was about to call for help, Ji Changying, who had been staring at him for a long time, used his supernatural power to seal his mouth.
Ren Dongnan attacked again, and the flying knife pierced his throat.
He pointed at Ren Dongnan with his eyes wide open, but no sound came out of his mouth and he fell to the ground.
Although Ren Dongnan didn't see what happened just now, he knew from what he heard that he didn't kill the two people on the first try, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for himself.
"If this thing falls to the ground, the mechanisms throughout the canyon will be activated. You come in first, and I'll put it down."
Ren Dongnan grabbed the mechanism rope beside him. Ji Changying felt the force in his hand loosen, so he slowly let go and went into the canyon.
Ren Dongnan breathed a sigh of relief after lowering the fence: "Let's go!"
He led the way, moving very quickly in one direction.
The entire valley looks like a tube-shaped building built by humans, with a long corridor near the cliff.
The side close to the cliff is dug into passages and places for people to rest and move around. They crisscross and spiral, seemingly without any pattern, but actually lead to all directions.
In the corridor near the outside, there were patrolmen passing by everywhere. Ren Dongnan seemed to be very familiar with this place, and he took her to the bottom floor in a dodgy manner.
If he really encountered someone he couldn't dodge, he would quickly take action to eliminate them, and Ji Changying would follow behind to finish him off.
Ren Dongnan was puzzled. How come so many people didn't make any noise?
But he didn't have time to think about it, as finding the person was more important at the moment.
The dungeon is on the bottom level. The deeper you go, the fewer patrollers there are and the more skilled they are.
But basically, it was gone in just one encounter in Ren Dongnan's hands.
At this moment, Ji Changying deeply understood Juefeng's concept that her master was a killer from the sky.
What kind of skills does Huiji, who is feared by her master, have?
But as they took action more and more times, they were soon discovered.
“Snap—”
A sound like firecrackers exploding interrupted Ji Changying's thoughts and made Ren Dongnan's face change.
"We've been discovered! Hurry!"
Ji Changying also vaguely felt a "clicking" sound coming from the entire canyon, which was the sound of a mechanism being activated.
She reached out and grabbed Ren Dongnan: "Come with me!"
She kept her eyes and ears open, and used all her special abilities to pull Ren Dongnan around the people they might meet, and they soon arrived at the entrance to the last floor.
Just as they turned the corner of the last floor, they were blocked by a dragon claw hand that suddenly extended out.
The man, dressed in tight clothes, saw the two men fighting directly. Ren Dongnan decisively stepped back a distance and said, "Disciple, it's up to you."
Ji Changying: “…”
This is truly my dear master. Aren’t you retreating too quickly?
After a moment of silence, Ji Changying quickly came back to his senses.
Seeing that the opponent's fist was about to hit her head, she stared at the opponent and used her supernatural power to seal the man's mouth, nose, hands and feet. The opponent's fist stopped just between her eyes, and then she widened her eyes.
Ji Changying raised her hand and broke his neck.
Time was running out and she didn't intend to waste any time here.
Ren Dongnan heard the sound of someone falling to the ground and looked at his apprentice in surprise: "It was resolved so quickly?"
"Hmph, let's go!"
Ji Changying pulled his master over and quickly went downstairs.
Ren Dongnan fell into deep thought.
It's only been a few days since they last met, and the disciple's Kung Fu has improved so rapidly as if he had taken medicine. If he continues like this, won't he be able to surpass his master soon?
This... is so embarrassing.
“Here they are!”
As the two of them just reached the bottom, the person on the opposite side discovered them and quickly pressed on the wall. Ji Changying's supernatural power sensed the movement under her feet. She quickly pulled Ren Dongnan and jumped. Sure enough, a pitch-black hole appeared on the ground where they had just stood, and the bottom was full of spikes shining with cold light.
If a person falls down, his internal organs will probably be punctured.
"Get started!"
The killers were straightforward. Seeing that they didn't fall, they rushed over with swords in hand without hesitation.
Ren Dongnan took out a throwing knife and threw it over, knocking down several people. Ji Changying took out his own iron chain and used it to clear a path, while also constantly paying attention to the poisonous arrows under his feet and on the side walls. He fought his way through and rushed into the dungeon.
The dungeon twists and turns, and they can take a brief breather. Ji Changying anxiously asks, "What does your friend look like?"
Ren Dongnan was silent for a moment: "He's the biggest eater I've ever seen. He should be... pretty strong, right?"
"?"
Ji Changying turned her head somewhat unhappily. What kind of answer was this!
When she saw Ren Dongnan's eyes, she suddenly realized that she was asking about a blind man.
····
The dungeon was dark and damp. It was not a platform that one could see the end of at a glance. Instead, it was divided into several layers with twists and turns.
There is a huge pit on the bottom layer, with white bones inside. From time to time, some poisonous snakes and insects drill through the human heads and crawl out from the dark eye sockets. There is some unknown mucus on their bodies, and each of them has a strong body and is shiny and slippery.
She felt physically uncomfortable and wanted to vomit.
