【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

After Xiaojing woke up, Yao Zhuo took her pulse again, and after confirming that she was safe and sound, she got up again and went back behind Tang Shun, but Xiao Jing's eyes followed Yao Zhuo's figure all the time, to be precise, she was staring at Yao Zhuo The blue robe on his body.

On the lower right shoulder of the blue robe, there is a coiled snake totem embroidered with black silk thread. The snake's head is petite, its tail is winding, and its body is neither long nor short. Knowing the half life and death of Yuan Zhongxin, secretly researching Miao Jiang Gu poison, and reading many books recording the history of Miao Jiang, this black snake totem appeared on the title page introducing the birthplace of Miao Jiang Gu poison, Kun Baizu Village.

Thinking of this, Xiaojing's eyes suddenly brightened. Yuan Zhongxin said that he had found a way to detoxify. Could it be that this girl knows the way to cure half-life?

Zhao Jian asked puzzledly, "How did you get in? Isn't there only one entrance to the dungeon?"

Tang Shun nodded and did not deny Zhao Jian's words: "There is indeed only one entrance to the dungeon, but there are three exits in total. The seven of us groped in along the second tomb entrance of the dungeon."

Zhao Jian and the others stared at each other dumbfounded. Wang Kuan stepped forward and asked with a frown, "Have you been to the dungeon before?"

Tang Shun acquiesced.

Wei Yanei was puzzled: "Where did you get the map?"

Xue Ying crossed her arms and said calmly, "Did you forget how the idiot was driven crazy in Qinghe Town?"

Wei Yanei suddenly realized: "That's right, the second fool watched those people draw maps on human skin with his own eyes, so he naturally knew the way to the dungeon."

Tang Shun: "..."

If you don't mention the name "Second Fool", will you die or what will happen!

However, Wang Kuan realized another problem, and his sharp eyes turned to Tang Shun: "What you saw was the map drawn by those 36 people, which should be exactly the same as the map they submitted to the Holy One back then. Why did we But I don’t know there are three exits in this dungeon?”

Tang Shun explained unhurriedly: "When the Daxia Dungeon was exposed, your Great Song had a very turbulent negotiation period with Daxia. On the surface, the two countries have negotiated peace, but There are countless tit-for-tats behind the scenes—at the beginning, our Daliao secret army was in an urgent situation, and we wanted to be the first to get ahead of your two countries, so as soon as I got the map, I sent people to explore the dungeon, but Because Daxia was heavily guarded at that time, it was difficult to enter the border of Daxia, so in desperation, we had no choice but to start groping from the location where the dungeon disappeared on the map."

Who would have expected that in this way, they really found out the end of the dungeon and the other three exits.

Yuan Zhongxin, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Just before the iron chain fell, we heard a bell, which sounded like a warning sound. When you first came in, did you encounter such a thing?"

Tang Shun shook his head in puzzlement: "No, every time we come in, we don't stay for long. We go out after searching for an hour or two, and rarely trigger the mechanism."

Yuan Zhongxin frowned, not knowing why: "Then what did we do to cause the mechanism to be activated?"

At first, Yuan Zhongxin thought that someone was secretly manipulating everything in the dungeon to deal with their group of uninvited guests, but now that he thought about it, their deeper steps seemed to be forced by a mechanism, as if someone was guiding them Step by step into the real world of the dungeon.

According to common sense, if you really don't want to be disturbed, the traps you set up should be the most vicious and sinister, killing you with one move.

However, the authorities in the dungeon were extraordinarily "tolerant" and gave enough time for Yuan Zhongxin and the others to escape.

and many more......

time?

A white light flashed in Yuan Zhongxin's mind, as if something was about to emerge, he suddenly turned his head to look at Wang Kuan, and said in a deep voice, "Wang Kuan, do you still remember how long it took us to walk down the aisle?"

Wang Kuan pondered for a moment, then replied uncertainly: "Stop and go, plus it should be four hours."

Yuan Zhongxin frowned, and asked again: "How about crossing the chain bridge?"

Zhao Jian thought hard for a moment, and hesitated to give an answer: "It's probably three hours."

Yuan Bofin speculated: "Could it be possible that the condition to trigger the mechanism is time. The time we stayed on the aisle and the chain bridge exceeded the time limit, thus triggering the mechanism."

Fan Zaizhi lowered his eyes slightly: "It's possible."

Wei Ya Nei anxiously glanced back and forth at the room where they are now, and said anxiously: "Could there be an agency here? How long have we stayed in this room?"

Tang Shun shook his head, and said calmly: "Except for the stone gate, there is no mechanism in the room. We have rested here a few times before. I can guarantee this, Mr. Wei can rest assured."

Hearing this, not knowing Wei Yanei, even the Qihou Jun behind him breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, the previous two thrilling encounters had already left an indelible mark on their hearts.

Yuan Boji suddenly took a step forward, gave a military salute to Tang Shun, and said in a deep voice: "Master Tang, all of you know this place well, can you please do me a favor?"

Tang Shun hurriedly stepped forward to lift up Yuan Bo's fin, and said: "General Yuan, you don't have to be so polite, we are allies now, if you need help, we will do our best."

Grief flashed in Yuan Bo's eyes: "Just now the iron chain fell suddenly, and at the end four brothers fell into the abyss unexpectedly. I don't know if Young Master Tang knows the situation under the abyss. Can they be saved?"

Tang Shun glanced blankly at Yuan Zhongxin, and found that the latter was also staring at him with a rather nervous expression. He pursed his lips, but in desperation, he decided to answer truthfully: "General Yuan, I'm sorry, because Insufficient manpower, our exploration routes have always been limited to the surface of the dungeon, and we have never set foot in any deeper places, and we don't even know what lies beneath the abyss."

Yuan Bofin should have expected this answer, otherwise Yuan Zhongxin would have told himself the truth long ago, but he couldn't help but feel deeply disappointed. The corner of his mouth curled up and he smiled wryly: "Young Master Tang, don't blame yourself, yes The end will be too difficult for the strong."

The death of the four cavaliers is still lingering in everyone's heart. Now that I think about it, I feel sour and sad, and the atmosphere becomes heavy and sad again.

Yuan Zhongxin looked at the distraught Yuan Bofin, feeling as if he was being crushed by a boulder. He was very uncomfortable. He had already lost [-] comrades in the battle of Qichuanzhai. Even though Zhong Xin couldn't understand it thoroughly, he could empathize with him to some extent. Now, he once again watched his brother die unexpectedly, and even the body was never recovered.

He yelled worriedly: "Brother."

Yuan Bofeng cheered up, and patted Yuan Zhongxin on the shoulder comfortingly: "Brother is fine, you don't have to worry about me, the most important thing is getting out of the dungeon now."

Fan Zaizhi shifted his gaze to Tang Shun: "Where is the entrance to the second tomb that Young Master Tang mentioned?"

Tang Shun glanced at the crowd: "Everyone, please follow me."

After leaving the room, Yuan Zhongxin and the others were once again shocked by what they saw.

A winding stone staircase appeared in front of everyone. Looking towards the bottom of the stone staircase, they could vaguely see a small stone statue. As for what it looked like, they couldn't see it clearly. Tang Shun and the others were already familiar with the scene here. He ordered Shili and Qianse to take the lead and light the candlesticks inlaid on the stone wall. Walk behind slowly.

After about two quarters of an hour, most of the entire stone staircase was illuminated.

Yuan Zhongxin and Wang Kuan walked side by side, several people were separated from Tang Shun between them, Wang Kuan did not look sideways, and suddenly whispered: "Yuan Zhongxin."

Someone shivered reflexively, glanced timidly at Wang Kuan, and replied bitterly, "What are you doing?"

As Wang Kuan walked, he looked at him with meaning, his expression was unpredictable, and he asked angrily, "What are you talking about?"

Yuan Zhongxin couldn't argue with his words, Wang Kuan's usual rhetoric didn't work at all, he rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I was going to tell you that I found an ally, but at that time in Kaifeng, I was busy with things like this." Too much, the timing is not right, so I had to let it go."

It's understandable for you to find an ally, but if you find him a rival in love, can Wang Kuan bear it?

Thinking of Tang Shun's special concern for Yuan Zhongxin, Wang Kuan felt angry. He was not blind, so he could clearly see Tang Shun's eyes looking at Yuan Zhongxin.

Want to say that Tang Shun doesn't like Yuan Zhongxin?

Ghost letter!

He took a deep breath: "Do you have anything else to hide from me?"

Yuan Zhongxin blinked, not daring to lie, and said obediently: "Yes."

The hostility in Wang Kuan's heart suddenly rose, and he laughed back from his anger. If it wasn't for the wrong timing, Yuan Zhongxin would have been crushed by him. He gritted his teeth bitterly: "Yuan Zhongxin, are you trying to piss me off?"

With a mournful face, Yuan Zhongxin pulled Wang Kuan's cuffs and moaned: "I didn't, how could I want to piss you off? I, I have no choice but to stop being angry, okay? Don't be angry. Now, aren't you angry just now?"

Wang Kuan was furious, frowned and did not speak.

Yuan Bofin, who was walking behind the two, cleared his throat: "You two, can you restrain yourself?"

Yuan Zhongxin was about to speak when he turned his head, but his footsteps stopped suddenly, his face was pale, and he stared behind him in astonishment, unable to say anything.

Wang Kuan realized something was wrong, and recalled that Yuan Zhongxin also had the same reaction when he crossed the iron chain bridge before. He held Yuan Zhongxin's hand tightly: "What did you see?"

Yuan Zhongxin called to Yuan Bofin who was about to turn his head to look: "Brother! Don't look at it yet!" Then, he let Wang Kuan lead him, raised his feet and walked forward again.

Yuan Bofin was confused by Yuan Zhongxin's low drink, but he still followed his advice.

Wang Kuan was very close to him, and he could clearly feel Yuan Zhongxin's rapid breathing. He felt uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't ask.

After a while, Yuan Zhongxin said with difficulty: "Wang Kuan, do you still remember how many people there were when we came?"

Wang Kuan didn't know why, but immediately replied: "There are six of us, Big Brother Yuan, Fan Zaizhi, and thirteen cavalry soldiers, a total of 21 people."

Yuan Zhongxin nodded in despair: "Yes, and then four people fell into the abyss just now, there should be 17 people left..."

Looking at Yuan Zhongxin who was muttering to himself, Wang Kuan became more and more uneasy. He asked in surprise, "Yuan Zhongxin, what do you want to say?"

Yuan Zhongxin's fingertips trembled slightly, he bit the tip of his tongue, and the next moment, what he said made Wang Kuan's scalp tingle:

"Behind the line, there seems to be an extra 'person'."
