"Grandson! Damn it, stop me!"
Liang Shaokai was so angry that his voice was distorted.
You don’t have to eat, you don’t have to have sex with girls, but no one can touch Mr. Kai’s life and treasure!
Before the man could sit up, a golden rope flew out of his cuffs and instantly wrapped around Haymorton's feet.
Haimoton did not expect that Liang Shaokai would make such a move. His feet were covered, and he was thrown forward, hitting the stone statue on the side.
The collision was so severe that it knocked Haymorton unconscious.
"Let's go!"
Chen Tao and Hao Zi pulled Balohard, who was in a daze, and rushed to the secret passage.
At this time, the top of the palace was less than one meter above their heads, and black insects in the distance were circling towards them.
"Liang Shaokai, what the hell are you doing!"
He Haozi dragged Balohad out of the secret passage. When Chen Tao turned around, he found Liang Shaokai lying on the ground, his hands constantly groping for the unconscious Haymorton.
"This grandson is a treasure in his bag. It would be a pity not to take it with him!"
"It's a pity that your brother-in-law, if you don't leave, your mother will be in trouble!"
"The head can be cut off, the blood can be shed, but the treasure cannot be lost!"
Chen Tao was so angry that he vomited blood. He saw the black insect getting closer and closer, and the top of the stone had dropped to less than half a meter.
"I'm so convinced by this idiot!"
Pushing Balohad to Haozi, Chen Tao was about to get in, grabbed Liang Shaokai's waistband, and pulled back hard.
In a hurry, Chen Tao saw that the black insects had spread to Haymorton's body. The severe pain made him wake up instantly, but it was already too late.
The swarm of insects swallowed him up instantly. Liang Shaokai had already pulled out Haymorton's backpack, but Haymorton suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed a strap of the backpack.
"Grandson, you can go in peace! Kai Shao, I..." Before Liang Shaokai could finish his words, there was an ouch and a black insect crawled along Haimoton's arm and onto his hand. , got directly under his skin.
"You fucking let go! Damn it!" Chen Tao watched from behind and felt worried. The insect had got into the back of Liang Shaokai's hand and was crawling up his arm.
"Don't worry, little brother, wait a moment and it will be ripped off soon!"
"I'm kidding you, uncle!"
The man with the low stone roof could no longer hide. Chen Tao didn't wait for Liang Shaokai to finish speaking, and pulled him out of the secret passage with a strong hand.
boom!
The top of the stone fell suddenly, almost touching Liang Shaokai's forehead. Even if Chen Tao stayed up for a second, Liang Shaokai's head would be crushed into a rotten persimmon.
"Quick! Quick! Quick!" Liang Shaokai dropped the backpack in his hand and held his arm tightly with one hand, but it was of no use at all. The insect had already got into his shoulder.
"Don't move!" Chen Tao asked Haozi to hold him down, took out a dagger, looked at the direction of the insect's movement, gritted his teeth and plunged it in, and then picked it hard.
squeak squeak...
There was a strange creaking sound on the ground, and the insect was picked out by Chen Tao. Before it could fly again, Haozi on the side slapped it to the ground with a shovel, and crushed it to pieces with his feet.
In addition, there were many black insects that came out when the stone roof collapsed.
Fortunately, there aren't many.
The secret passage was too narrow to open, so everyone was almost running and fighting, and finally killed all the chasing black insects, leaving only one or two flying buzzing in the darkness.
"What a thrill!" Liang Shaokai wiped a handful of chicken coop, staring straight at the backpack he pulled out with his dirty little eyes, almost crying.
"Hahahaha, Mr. Kai, I am so happy, life is enough!" Liang Shaokai laughed and opened the chain, revealing several thumb-sized gemstone rings exuding gleaming treasure. In addition, there are many small treasures.
"Happy sister!" Chen Tao was so angry at this guy that he almost risked his life for this little thing.
"Oh, little brother!" Liang Shaokai waved his hand, put away his backpack, and hugged Chen Tao's neck.
"Today, a little brother risked his life to save me. Boss, I am really touched. If nothing else, I will give you five of this treasure...oh no, one share!" Liang Shaokai patted his chest and stretched out his hand for the five. The fingers finally turned into one.
"That's what you said. Master Hao, I almost got bitten to death by that bug in order to save you. Where's mine?"
"At home, we rely on our parents, and when we go out, we are brothers. I, Mr. Kai, understand the righteousness and share in everything!"
"Okay, let's find the Ye sisters first. Yan and the others went out before us. I'm afraid he will be harmful to them." Chen Tao waved his hand and supported Balohard, who was in a somewhat unconscious state.
"Hey, are you starting to worry about your little Ling'er?" Haozi smacked his lips and supported Balohard's other arm, teasing in a weird tone.
"Get lost!" Chen Tao was too lazy to pay attention to him, "Don't forget, that girl still owes us two brothers money!"
Haozi slapped his forehead: "I almost forgot, let's go, let's go!"
The secret passage is dark, narrow, and the slope is very steep. It is paved with stone slabs on the left and right sides, top and bottom, and there are no carved decorations.
Several people rummaged around in the backpack they picked up for a while and found two wolf-eye flashlights and several pairs of spare batteries.
"It should be enough for us to go out." Chen Tao took one, and He Haozi supported the somewhat decadent Balohard, and gave the other to Liang Shaokai.
After walking down for a while, the stone slabs on both sides turned into stone walls. You can see obvious traces of manual excavation, which is very rough.
The stone wall extends to the top of the head, becoming narrower as it goes up.
Chen Tao understood clearly and couldn't help but nod.
No wonder Qianshu Hongde was able to dig a secret tunnel in such a short time. It turned out that he also used the cracks in the underground mountain.
Qianshu Hongde stayed in Tatunaan for no less than five years. During these five years, he did a lot of things here, especially when King Tatunaan asked him to rebuild the royal city and strengthen the defense, but it happened to be He was given the opportunity to build a secret passage.
"Strange, where have the Ye sisters gone?"
After walking for a long time, no one was seen. Even Liang Shaokai, who had always been careless, stopped smiling.
"Could it be that he was taken away by Yan and his gang?"
Haozi's words made Chen Tao's heart sink. After thinking about it carefully, as Ye Rong and Ye Ling'er, Yan should not do anything excessive.
Among the known forces, the Ye family seems to have always been in a neutral position.
There are no advantages to such a position, but there are also many disadvantages.
Chen Tao didn't know if there were other forces. In this unknown game, the neutral party would often be recruited by many camps.
And once the neutral side's position deviates, it will immediately become the target of public criticism.
This time, Chen Tao didn't know whether the Ye family had sided with the Chen family, or whether the two families were simply cooperating.
If it's the former, then the Ye sisters are really in danger.
The secret passage continued along the crack. Chen Tao didn't know how long they had been walking. There were no traces or marks of the Ye sisters along the way.
Chen Tao felt as if a big stone had been pressed down on his heart, and a bad feeling began to spread in his heart.
Until they exited the secret passage and entered the underground river that had been dry for who knows how long, there was no trace of anyone.
The river is covered with dark golden yellow sand. When the flashlight shines on it, it shines brightly. It is exactly the same as the yellow sand left by Saint Natissa.
The sand here is special and completely different from those outside.
Chen Tao felt a little surprised. Could it be that the sand Natysha stepped on for the first time came from this river?
How could she be in a place like this at such a young age?
The river is very dry, and there is some unconcealable sultry heat. Occasionally, a strange whining sound comes from the surrounding darkness, echoing far away in this dark and gloomy river.
"It seems that the sandstorm outside has not stopped yet. It is estimated that the entire royal city has been almost buried."
Liang Shaokai held up the flashlight, and the beam of light was swinging around, which made Chen Tao a little upset.
"Hey, stop shaking!"
Chen Tao frowned and squatted down.
There are many scattered footprints on the sand, which should be those of Yan and the others. There was no wind in the secret passage, and the footprints didn't look too blurry.
"If I remember correctly, only three of Yan and the others escaped..." Chen Tao grabbed a handful of sand, put it in his hands and twisted it, then let go and let the sand flow down.
He clapped his hands and stood up from the ground, pointing in the direction where the footprints extended.
"Bad news, Ye Rong and the others were probably taken away by Yan and the other three."
"Then aren't they two very dangerous? Not to mention how insidious Yan is, even the insect-covered Dabo Witch may not let them go," Haozi said.
"I think you only have big waves in your mind." Liang Shaokai curled his lips and teased, which earned Hao Zi a big eye roll, wishing he could drive a nail into his ass.
"You can't tell what happened to those people from the footprints. They were walking in a hurry, probably because they were afraid of bugs chasing them out." Chen Tao touched his chin, "Let's go, follow them, we have to rescue the Ye sisters. ...This trip cannot be in vain. If you want to know the news about Uncle Long, you have to ask Ye Rong!"
The few people followed the footprints and learned the lessons they came from. Chen Tao and Hao Zi observed the surrounding stone walls vigilantly. They were relieved when they saw that there were no weird large sand tables or honeycomb-like caves on them. Come.
There is wind in the secret passage, so everyone does not have to worry about oxygen. It's just that I was tired all the way, my nerves were always tense, and there was no time to replenish food and water, so I was inevitably a little tired.
At this time, Barrohard had calmed down quite a bit and followed the few people without saying a word.
After the fierce battle, the pain from all over the body surged up.
Chen Tao endured the pain coming from his body. In order to save energy, the few of them rarely spoke.
In the silent and dark river, apart from the occasional sound of wind, there was only the sound of rustling footsteps.
After walking forward for a while, many vague shadows appeared on the surrounding stone walls and stone tops, like giant pythons and long snakes.
Chen Tao shined a flashlight and discovered to his surprise that those dark shadows were actually plant roots.
"It turns out to be Demonic Map and Ghost Liu!"
There is something different about Chen Tao. Could it be that they have already reached the bottom of the Forest of the Dead?
The roots on the stone wall have long since died, and many have broken off and are stuck in the sand in disorder.
"It seems we are heading in the right direction, we are leaving Tatunaan."
Not long after walking forward, the footprints on the ground became messy.
Chen Tao raised his head and looked forward, wanting to continue to see the traces left by those people, but unexpectedly, a scene that shocked him appeared in the darkness.
"Holy crap, why is this here!"
