Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 73 Death Chamber
The moving wall behind them was approaching them. If they didn't jump onto the wooden stakes, they would be pushed off the wall.

"Which stake should we take?" asked Pei Nai.

She didn't believe that there were no traps in such a place, otherwise there would be no point in setting up wooden stakes for the people who built the underground palace. Therefore, some of the stakes must not be firm.

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Jinheng stepped onto a wooden stake and said, "The stake with the trap has been triggered by someone before, and the rest are all fine."

He turned around and extended a hand to Pei Nai, but Pei Nai did not put his hand on him.

Gu Jinheng's eyes dimmed.

He lowered his eyes and quickly took Pei Nai's wrist without giving her a chance to react.

Zhang Ming was still behind her, and the wall not far away was about to fall on her. She couldn't shake off Gu Jinheng's hand, so she followed him forward.

Zhang Ming followed them, and just as he walked past two wooden stakes, the wall behind him was completely blocked.

The three men walked slowly along the wooden stakes to the wall grid on the opposite stone wall.

Pei Nai pressed another button, and a corridor opened on their left.

They walked over and entered the corridor.

Pei Nai pulled his hand away from Gu Jinheng's at this time, "Just take care of yourself."

He didn't speak. The nearest glowing plant on the wall had died, and the light around him was dim. His face was hidden in the semi-darkness, and Pei Nai couldn't see his emotions.

She hardened her heart, turned around and walked in front. Soon, the wall closed behind them.

This time the corridor is exceptionally long.

The twists and turns made them unable to tell east from west, south from north.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour and turning a corner, the wall at the end of the corridor in front slowly opened.

As the door opened, a figure suddenly appeared behind the door. He was dressed in black and was making strange movements.

It was one of the assassins who disappeared after entering the imperial study!

The man looked up at them, his sleeves moving slightly, and Pei Na was ready to defend himself.

At this moment, Zhang Ming shot out the flying knife in his hand at lightning speed.

That person was one of the six imperial shadows under the throne of the Wu clan's God King, but he failed to dodge in time.

The flying knife hit the assassin right between the eyebrows, and in the blink of an eye, he fell heavily to the ground.

When he died, he still maintained the astonishment he had when he looked up and saw them. He probably didn't expect the door of the corridor in front of him to suddenly open.

Pei Nai was also a little confused. It was obvious that the assassin was coming in the opposite direction.

But everyone had passed by the wooden stakes, so why would they collide head-on at this moment?
The assassin died in the center of the dark room, less than five feet away from them. Zhang Ming was about to go over to check his body when Gu Jinheng stopped him, "Slow down."

Zhang Ming stopped immediately. He was only one step away from entering the dark room.

"His hand." Gu Jinheng said calmly.

When Pei Nai and Zhang Ming heard this, they immediately looked in the direction of the assassin's body.

Because of the black clothes, it is difficult to see clearly at first glance.

But after careful observation, Pei Nai was horrified to find that the man's hand was broken at the wrist, and dark red blood was gradually spreading on the ground.

Combined with the assassin's strange actions just now, she shuddered for a moment.

Zhang Ming lowered his head slightly.

Three fingers away from his abdomen, there was an extremely thin thread, as thin as a cicada's wing, as fine as a hair, colorless, and just hanging in the air.

Following the line of sight, I saw countless densely packed lines crisscrossing and intertwining.

It was like a fishing net, waiting for them to fall into it.

But there are gaps between these lines, so it is definitely not as simple as a fishing net.

Zhang Ming raised his hand and used the armor raised at his wrist to draw a line across the line. However, the line did not move at all, but the armor was split straight in half, and the fragments fell to the ground with a clang.

"It's Xisi." Gu Jinheng said. This was a shocking statement.

Si, a legendary sacred object, is only recorded in ancient books.

If the snow banyan silk cannot be cut due to its interweaving of hardness and softness, and its extreme lightness and entanglement, then the taro silk is indestructible to swords and guns due to its incomparable hardness and sharpness.

It is extremely rare and has long been extinct. No one has seen it for hundreds of years.

But here, there are so many!

She finally understood why the assassin did not retaliate immediately. The presence of Zeus prevented him from acting rashly.

The wall behind me was closing in again.

Gu Jinheng turned around and glanced at the distance to the wall. "Zhang Ming, you go first. Pay attention to the direction of each strand of silk."

"Yes." Zhang Ming reacted very quickly.

He immediately squatted down, stepped over the second wire, and passed under the first wire. Each movement was quick and neat, without any sloppiness.

"Naier, follow him, step by step." Gu Jinheng continued.

Pei Nai stared at Zhang Ming's movements closely, not allowing a moment to pass.

When Pei Nai passed five threads, Gu Jinheng had not moved yet.

Seeing the wall approaching, Pei Nai was a little frightened, but he turned back and asked, "What are you waiting for?"

"Wait a little further so I can avoid bumping into you." He squatted down.

Pei Nai immediately avoided a thread and took a step forward, and Gu Jinheng then stepped in.

The moment he came in, the wall closed completely.

It was too thrilling, but Gu Jinheng didn't even raise his eyelids.

Pei Nai glared at him inexplicably.

After the three of them came in, they slowed down. Zhang Ming walked carefully, and Pei Nai followed him with every step he took, and Gu Jinheng followed behind.

They moved forward cautiously from beginning to end. By the time they pressed the wall grid and walked into another corridor, nearly an hour had passed and their clothes were soaked with sweat.

But they had no time to rest and were forced by the wall to continue moving along the corridor. After entering the underground palace, they had not had any water or food for several hours.

I didn't have time to think just now, but now I can finally distract myself and the doubts began to surface.

Why did this assassin come from the opposite direction?

Where is the other assassin and why did they separate?

This corridor was not as long as before, and Pei Nai had no idea where to go, but in the blink of an eye they saw the end.

The wall in front slowly moved away, revealing the next dark room, which was empty.
Pei Nai just breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly found that the space in the dark room was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It's the walls on both sides of the dark room! They are moving inwards very quickly, and the walls are closing in!

Realizing this, they were all shocked.

Gu Jinheng said at this moment: "Run!"

If they don't run, when the walls of the dark room close completely, they will be trapped in the corridor, and the slowly approaching wall will crush them into meat paste.

If they run slower, they will suffer the same fate, except that they will be crushed by a different wall.

At this moment, the three of them rushed forward together.

Pei Nai's mind was almost blank. Mingzhi's body was a little weak. He had consumed so much energy without eating that he could hardly hold on and could not speed up at all.

But in order to make room for her, Gu Jinheng stayed behind her. If she slowed down, Gu Jinheng would probably die with her.

The thought that suddenly flashed through Pei Nai's mind was: I really can't fulfill Gu Jinheng's wish of "dying together with him". It's a nice thought, but how can it be that easy?
Zhang Ming ran three feet ahead of Pei Nai. He pressed the wall tab and the door of the corridor slowly opened.

He walked in sideways and shouted, "Master, Madam, hurry!"
