Long Xiang immediately put Zuiyou back into the weapon.

The bamboo sticks pierced the ground row by row, and triggered a mechanism. More rows of bamboo sticks flew out from the wall, intertwined with each other and flew in the huge cave. Several rows were heading straight towards them.

Already.

Yu Renshu knocked down two rows of bamboo sticks. Unexpectedly, more mechanisms were triggered, and an overwhelming barrage of needles and needles came towards them.

"Get out first, quickly!" Si Si pushed Long Xiang out of the narrow gap, and the others also squeezed out, temporarily avoiding the dragnet inside.

"There were none of these things inside before." Zhi Xuan examined Jiang Chaoge carefully, "There's no damage."

Jiang Chaoge said: "I'm fine. It seems that the mechanism was installed later. Who would install the mechanism in it?"

"Yinchuan knows how to do it himself, or he may have pretended to do it before he died."

Yu Renshu said: "The people who set up the mechanism obviously don't want us to get close to the soul weapon that Yinchuan transformed into. These mechanisms were not built in a day. Yinchuan could not have predicted everything after his death long before his death."

.”

"Could it be that..." Zhi Xuan frowned, "It was also Di Jiang who did it?"

Jiang Chaoge shook his head: "There is no point in discussing who is pretending now. Let's find a way to get through."

Yu Renshu said sadly: "If Yun Xi is here, he might know how to destroy the mechanism. We... we'd better break through."

"I'll release some horses and destroy some mechanisms first."

After everyone agreed not to enter the cave, they released all the horses, eight in total, and ran towards the devastated cave. Soon, one horse triggered the mechanism and set off a chain reaction.

Suddenly, the cave was in chaos again, and some of the horses were retrieved in time, while some were pierced through the body. In the end, all eight horses disappeared, and calm returned to the cave.

Everyone waited for a long time, "The mechanism should be gone this time."

"It should be almost done, let's go." They returned to the cave, released their horses again, and explored the path in front of and beside them, while the others moved forward cautiously against the wall.

After destroying two mechanisms one after another, they finally reached the other end of the cave, where a forked road about two meters wide and ten meters high appeared. The stone walls of the forked road were covered with moonstones of various sizes, emitting a faint blue light.

The light from the ground provided dim lighting for the entire fork in the road.

Zhi Xuan said: "Go in from here."

"Is there a mechanism in here?"

"Maybe." Yu Renshu snapped his fingers and let the horse go. The horse had just walked less than two meters when vertical rows of iron spikes protruded from the wall, biting one row after another like saw teeth. In an instant,

The horse's body was torn apart, and the iron spikes retracted into the wall.

"This is different from the mechanisms outside. It can be triggered repeatedly. How about flying over it?" Si Si summoned the owl and let it fly over the iron thorns, but he didn't expect rows of iron thorns to come out of the hole.

The top fell down and formed an airtight network of mechanisms with the iron spikes on both sides of the wall.

Jiang Chaoge reluctantly raised his neck: "Are there some small holes next to the hole where the iron thorn fell?"

Sisi approached carefully: "It seems there is."

"I know the principle of this mechanism. Those are light-shielding holes. Once something blocks the light emitted by the moonstone, the mechanism will be triggered."

"What should we do?"

"Block all the light-shielding holes so that the mechanism that is triggered repeatedly cannot be retracted. We can drill through the gaps."

Long Xiang sighed: "There are at least hundreds of these light-shielding holes."

"There is no better way." Sisi looked around and grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground. "This kind of sun-dried mud is very sticky when mixed with water. It can block the shading holes."

Everyone quickly got to work, collecting the sun-dried mud, pouring water on it and mixing it, then Si Si and Long Xiang each carried a bag.

Long Xiang took a step carefully, grabbed a handful of drying mud in his hand, and stuffed it into a light-shielding hole the size of an egg. A row of iron thorns next to the light-shielding hole came out with a whooshing sound. Long Xiang tilted his head and flashed,

A sharp wind blew across his cheek, he took a deep breath and winked at Si Si.

Sisi bent down and kicked his legs, greatly flexing his muscles, then jumped up, grabbed one of the row of iron thorns with both hands, his body was as soft as a cat, stood upside down, and finally hooked his feet

There was an iron thorn at the top, and the whole body was folded up again. Holding a handful of dry mud in his hand, he blocked a light-shielding hole without hesitation. The iron thorn next to the light-shielding hole almost touched Si Si's neck.

Coming down, Si Si lowered his head and showed a proud smile to everyone.

Long Xiang cautiously moved forward again, solving the traps on both sides, and then created a support point for Sisi to block the light-shielding hole above. Sisi was not short, but his body was incredibly flexible and agile. It seemed that he could bend into any shape that was beyond human.

The arc of imagination allowed him to move freely in such a narrow and dangerous space. Jiang Chaoge felt that this was nothing more than an acrobat. The two of them cooperated carefully, constantly destroying the mechanisms on this road.

This work was dangerous and time-consuming, and it took the two of them two hours to clear all the traps on this forked road of less than 200 meters.

Everyone held their breath and walked carefully between the rows of iron thorns. The space they could move was only enough for one person to barely pass, and clothes would get caught at any time. Others could still move. Jiang Chaoge's hands and feet were numb and he took a step forward.

It was difficult, so he could only be moved forward by Zhi Xuan and Yu Renshu.

Suddenly, they saw that the sun-dried mud on a sunshade hole next to them had a faint tendency to fall off. A few of them did not dare to express their anger and moved forward quietly. The sun-dried mud dripped down with slag, and finally, the whole piece fell off.

They all fell down, and the row of iron thorns suddenly retracted and thrust out again.

Zhi Xuan pressed Jiang Chaoge and Yu Renshu tightly, making them unable to move. The iron thorn retracted and extended, returning to its original position again. The sharp thorn tip was less than one centimeter away from the three of them. Jiang Chaoge felt that the hairs on his body stood on end.

I got up and broke into a cold sweat.

The iron thorn retracted again, and the three of them took a breath and walked forward quietly.

Everyone, a group of people all passed the fork in the road. This short journey was actually more tiring than the road they walked for several days and nights. Long Xiang and Si Si's hands were covered with mud, and the clothes of the other three were completely covered.

They were scratched enough to make them look miserable.

Sisi looked at himself and then at the others, and couldn't help laughing, "It's exciting, it's so exciting, hahahaha."

Long Xiang muttered: "It's really life-threatening." After saying this, she also laughed.

Zuiyou suddenly flashed out, held Long Xiang's face and said distressedly: "It scratched your face. You are really dirty. Let me wipe it for you."

Long Xiang pushed him away embarrassedly, found a cloth and wiped it herself, "I'm fine."

Sisi winked and said: "You two, are you the one, eh?"

Long Xiang said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, no."

Zuiyou was noncommittal, just smiling, making people feel ambiguous just looking at him.

Tianrong also came out of the weapon, "Let's go, I don't know what else is ahead."

Everyone looked around, and after passing the fork in the road, they found another open cave, and they heard the faint sound of water.

"Is there a river here?"

"The river we followed downstream also passed through Xuanyuan Qiu. This may be a tributary. Let's go and have a look." Si Si took the lead and walked in the direction of the sound of water.

Jiang Chaoge reminded: "Be careful, don't be so reckless."

Everyone was already familiar with the mechanisms here, and naturally they did not dare to take it lightly. They released more soul beasts to explore the path, and walked carefully close to the wall.

Fortunately, the journey was safe.

They passed through the cave and entered another cave. Sure enough, there was a river crossing the middle of the cave. But what puzzled everyone was that there was a circular river bed surrounding the cave. The crossing river happened to start from the circular river bed.

The central axis passes through it, forming two very square semicircles. It can be seen that the river crossing it is naturally formed, and the river bed is rough and uneven, but the circular river bed is artificially carved, with a uniform width of more than one meter.

The riverbed is wide and the walls are smooth and flat. This scene is really weird. Why make such a circular riverbed that is almost useless? The circumference of this circular riverbed is at least a hundred meters, so digging it is not a simple job.

Yu Ren was very cautious and said: "The vision must have a different cause, so don't move around."

Sisi released the owl and circled it in a circle above the cave, but there was no response. The owl fell down again and jumped around in the two semicircles, almost trampling most of the space.

Still nothing happened.

Long Xiang said in confusion: "Strange...is there really no mechanism?"

"Let's take another look. The design here is weirder than anywhere else. We can't take it lightly."

"It's quite difficult to build a mechanism in such a big cave... Huh?" Sisi turned around suddenly.

"What's wrong?"

Sisi opened his eyes and looked into the water, "There seems to be something moving in the water."

Everyone took a few steps back, holding torches and stretching their necks to look into the water. The water was very shallow and you could see the brown sand inside at a glance. The water was rippleless and occasionally a few small fish swam by.

"It's a small fish."

Sisi breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhi Xuan frowned and shook his head vigorously, with an uncomfortable expression.

Jiang Chao Ge said: "Zhi Xuan, what's wrong with you?"

"It stinks so much. The further you go in, the stronger the stench becomes."

Yu Renshu said: "We didn't smell anything. At most, it was a bit of a damp musty smell due to lack of ventilation for too long."

Zhi Xuan said angrily: "It stinks so bad that my nose can't smell other smells at all."

The owl jumped to the water's edge, plunged its head into the water, and then lifted it up again. There was a small fish in its beak, and it shook its head towards Sisi in acknowledgment.

Sisi smiled and said: "Good job, come back."

The owl spread its wings, and something unexpected happened at that moment.

A ferocious snake head popped out of the water without warning, its bloody mouth suddenly opened, and the scarlet letter instantly wrapped around the bird's neck. The bird, which was larger than a human, seemed to be trapped.
