Chapter 780: Exploring the Underground Palace
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The underground palace was relatively dangerous, but Ah Yu had to go. She originally wanted to go in with only City Lord Wan, and King Xiaoyao. But other than herself, no one else agreed.
There was no need to talk about Tang Yuan. She wanted to follow Ah Yu closely, afraid that she would be harmed in an unfamiliar place.
Even if her martial strength was completely inferior to her little master’s, at the very least, she could help her die at the critical moment.
w.a.n.g Wulang and the three Crimson Guards naturally would not stay. They also had the same thoughts as Tang Yuan.
On the other hand, Xie Zhen thought for a long time and felt that his martial strength and intelligence were not good, especially since his luck was not very good. It might be better if he did not go.
Xie Zhen: “Then I’ll go to the Protectorate General’s Residence to stay first and help you with the logistics. When you come out of the underground palace, it’ll save you some trouble.”
Everyone expressed that they had no objections to this.
Shui Miao: “Of course I have to go. I’ve long heard of the restricted death zone here. My family doesn’t allow me to go. This time, I finally have a chance. Of course I have to go and broaden my horizons.”
Moreover, she was not very afraid of death. If she died, she would not have to inherit the position of chief and would be less worried.
Shi Zhou: “I won’t go in first.”
He did not say why, and the others did not ask. They only thought that he had something to do.
King Xiaoyao had also chosen three subordinates. It was not to protect him, but mainly to arrange for them to take care of Ah Yu. A group of rough men did not know anything else, but they could at least do menial tasks.
City Lord Wan brought Hong Yi and another dark-faced man.
Just like that, the group rode camels towards the death zone.
After they left, Shi Zhou looked in the direction they had left and walked in the other direction.
He wanted to contact the people of the West Wind Kingdom who were hiding in Jiangsai City.
The stone hall was not particularly far from the underground palace, but because of the occasional sandstorm, they still spent nearly four hours getting there.
The daytime in the desert was very long, especially in May. There were only two to three hours of night in a day. They could not even distinguish the exact time with the sun above their heads.
“This is the entrance to the underground palace. Although some of the mechanisms at the entrance have been cleaned up, it’s better to be careful.” City Lord Wan pointed at the mechanism at the entrance of the underground palace.
“I know. We’ve been here before.” With that, All Yu walked towards the entrance of the underground palace.
Of course, the mechanism was not triggered, but she did not notice that the expressions of City Lord Wan and the others behind her had changed.
They looked at each other in surprise.
Had she already found a way to crack it so that she could walk so accurately that even City Lord Wan felt enlightened?
The deeper they went, the more surprised they became. They had even walked past several places where the mechanisms couldn’t be turned off and he forgot to remind them.
The group of people walked calmly to the first path and followed All Yu to the previous hall.
When they arrived at the hall, Ah Yu said, “Look, this is how we walked in last time.”
w.a.n.g Wulang could no longer hold it in. When he left, he had been on tenterhooks. He observed his surroundings to see if any hidden weapons appeared. He also wanted to protect his sister immediately.
However, none of the terrifying mechanisms he had encountered previously were there.
They did not even get lost!
As they followed behind Ah Yu, it was very difficult for them to realize that there were actually many forks here. They had even forgotten that there were forks.
What was going on?
“All Yu, did you secretly practice array formations when we weren’t paying attention?” w.a.n.g Wulang couldn’t help but ask.
Ah Yu shook her head. “I’ve learned array formations for marching and fighting. Although there are also many changes in the five elements and eight trigrams, it’s not this kind of five elements and eight trigrams.”
City Lord Wan and Hong Yi looked at each other, as if they were saying in their hearts, “I’m numb.”
No wonder the proverbs said that only Holy Envoys could successfully enter the underground palace and obtain the recognition of the Xuan Heaven Bow.
This was simply a Holy Envoy chosen by the heavens. She didn’t have to care about the mechanisms at all!
“The last time we found the Xuan Heaven Bow, it was Little Lamb who led the way.” This time, they did not bring Little Lamb and the Spirit Treasure Rat over. They even instructed the people from the Stone Hall to take good care of them.
However, in fact, Ah Yu had placed them all in her portable s.p.a.ce when no one was paying attention.
Previously, she was a little afraid of putting them into the spatial pocket because Meatball said that there was a risk of them becoming demented or crazy.
It was only when Meatbail achieved a breakthrough in its research that they could rest well in the spatial pocket.
Now, Meatball was busy doing research every day. It even had to call out to the little lamb that ate gra.s.s and the Spirit Treasure Rat that coveted the big toads in the spatial pocket.
There was almost no time to keep an eye on Ah Yu.
“Do you still know the way?” City Lord Wan felt that his question was a little presumptuous, so he took the initiative to lower his voice and said, “I heard that the place where the Xuan Heaven Bow appeared contains the truth about Jiangsai City.”
“Then let’s go.”
They had come here for this purpose..
