Chapter 184: Secret Room Trap
Song Qingwan and the others didn't have much time. If they stayed too long, it would arouse suspicion. They had to act quickly to prevent the other party from having the opportunity to change their target.
"Go in, and be careful." After Xiao Huatian went out to guard the door, Song Qingwan immediately walked into the secret passage. There were a few little mice in front of her clearing the way for them, and the canary was standing on Song Qingwan's shoulder.
It was chirping and communicating with the mice, and the scene looked weird and interesting.
Zhang Zhiyi followed closely behind Song Qingwan, and seemed to finally understand why Song Qingwan didn't let him walk in front, because she had a pathfinder.
There are countless extraordinary people in the world, and one more Song Qingwan is not much different. Zhang Zhiyi was not very surprised or frightened. He would be surprised if Song Qingwan didn't have any trump cards.
There was no light in the room, so Song Qingwan rummaged in her sleeves and took out a night pearl from the space to serve as a light.
I saw some new footprints in the secret passage covered with thick dust. It didn't look like they were from one person, proving that someone had really been here.
The secret passage is very long and has many bends. "Wanwan, the little mouse said there are traps in here, so you better be careful."
Song Qingwan was not too surprised. It would be abnormal if there were no mechanisms or traps in a secret passage like this one.
"Old Zhang, be careful, there are traps inside." Song Qingwan immediately reminded the people behind her.
Zhang Zhiyi also thought of it, "Okay, let's follow the traces of our predecessors, I think we can definitely avoid some of them."
They didn't dare touch the walls casually and were particularly careful where they stepped.
Song Qingwan was not very worried because she believed in Canary and was also proficient in mechanisms. From what she could see so far, she had not found any traces.
It turned out that her prediction was correct, and they did not touch any mechanism along the way.
Soon, the little mouse led the two to a huge stone house. There were many torches burning in the house, which made the house brightly lit and proved that there was circulating air here.
The house is several dozen square meters in size, with some stone tables and stone beds placed in it. It is very clean and seems that someone has lived there before.
But now there was no one in the room, "Did they just leave?"
The two did not take it lightly, but slowly searched the house, because there was only the entrance they came in through and no other passages.
"There must be another mechanism, and the person escaped from another place."
The little mouse was also exploring around. Due to the lack of food in the secret room, even mice didn't come here, which made the canary unable to make any progress for a while.
But soon, "Huh? No! Wanwan, the torches here are emitting poisonous gas." Fortunately, Song Qingwan had a certain ability to resist poison, but she still quickly took out two detoxification pills from the space.
"The torches are poisonous. Are you okay, Lao Zhang? Take the antidote quickly."
It would have been better if Song Qingwan didn't say anything. Once she pointed it out, Zhang Zhiyi also felt uncomfortable. He first took the antidote and swallowed it, and then immediately used his internal energy to detoxify and regulate his breathing.
But the strange thing was that the more he used his internal energy, the more the poison effect would be triggered, and the antidote could not take effect so quickly, so with a thud, Zhang Zhiyi collapsed powerlessly.
"Xiao Song, this is a trap. The prince of Luo may not be here. Let's retreat first. I can't stand it anymore."
The heart pain and the heat all over the body made Zhang Zhiyi feel particularly uncomfortable.
"Okay, let's retreat first." Since this place was discovered, Song Qingwan could let the canary go to investigate. This breath seemed to only target humans, and the canary and the mice in the house were fine. Song Qingwan helped Zhang Zhiyi up, but her touch made Zhang Zhiyi shiver as if he was electrocuted. He gasped, but what he uttered was a weird groan, "You can't touch me!"
Zhang Zhiyi suddenly pushed Song Qingwan away. He knew very well that he had been poisoned by a charm drug, and this stone chamber was a trap set for the two of them.
"Damn it!" Zhang Zhiyi cursed while gasping for breath. He was careless and shouldn't have gone to find Song Qingwan first.
But I didn't expect that the other party would act so quickly. They only discovered Song Qingwan's foreign language ability yesterday, and designed a trap today.
If the conspiracy against the Zhang family and the King of Chu was planned long ago, then what about now? This proves that this group of forces is also Song Qingwan's enemy.
Who is it? With so many forces involved, it seems like a big game is being played.
Zhang Zhiyi's consciousness was clear at first, but it became a little blurred after a while. However, he knew clearly that he must not let Song Qingwan get into trouble.
Because if something happens to her, the prince might take drastic actions, and the capital and even the border will be in chaos.
Zhang Zhiyi bit his lip, and the blood flowed out. The pain kept him somewhat conscious. He crawled with difficulty towards the exit, which was also the place farthest away from Song Qingwan, otherwise he really would not be able to control himself.
Song Qingwan frowned, and immediately took out a belt-like cloth rope from the air, walked a few steps forward, and tied up Zhang Zhiyi before he could react.
"In this way..." What in this way? When the weight of the two people was gathered together, the stone slab under their feet suddenly reversed, sending both of them into a deeper cave.
Song Qingwan was shocked. This was simply a game within a game. First, poison gas was used to attract all their attention, and then another ingenious mechanism was designed.
They walked across this stone slab when they came in, but they were walking separately at the time, so their weight naturally did not cause it to sink.
The other party also wanted to use the charm drug to make the two of them roll together and then fall into a deeper hole.
But Song Qingwan's reaction was quite quick. She kicked the huge and heavy stone above her head away immediately, then swung the other end of the cloth rope, and it immediately hooked the pillar of the stone bed.
She just managed to hang their bodies above the cave entrance, with their feet below.
It turned out to be a pool of black water, with countless crocodiles in the water, opening their bloody mouths wide, waiting for food to fall.
"Fuck! What a vicious heart." This was obviously a place of execution. Song Qingwan couldn't help but curse. Who would have thought that there would be such a place under the embassy.
It doesn't look like it was just established. This must be the territory of some old forces, and a very ancient and well-established force at that.
The cave was also brightly lit. Not only was there a deep pool and crocodiles, but there were also two huge pillars on the other side, higher up, connected by a wooden board, leading to another exit.
At this moment, on one side of the stage, there were more than a dozen masked men in black, holding various weapons in their hands, as if they were waiting for the show to begin on the other side.
On the other side of the pillar was the prince of Luo State that Zhang Zhiyi had been trying so hard to find. At this time, the prince was sitting on a chair with his hands tied behind his back and even his mouth sealed, as if he was being held hostage by a masked man in black.
The masked man was very proud, "Hahaha~ You really are worthy of being the Lord of the Seven Slave Saints, the poison gas can't cause any harm, and the traps are useless, you have pretty good skills!
I hope you will always have good luck! Hahaha
Use the rocket to shoot the ropes off for me, and let's see how the Seven Saints fight the crocodiles!"
Once the change is completed~
