Chapter 1926 Dead Bones All Over the Ground
Minghe completely lost consciousness. The people behind her also came forward and looked down at her: "You are in the same group with Chen Changli. It's just right. I can use you to threaten Chen Changli."
As he spoke, the man picked up Minghe and left.
At the same time, Chen Changli and his group were wandering outside the Biqiu City, searching for a long time without any results. As the sky gradually darkened, Wan Shufang's face darkened: "We still haven't found Minghe."
Chen Changli pursed his lips, his eyes deep.
"Well...it's getting late, and we might not be able to find her later. She should be fine, just trapped. Otherwise, let's go look for the treasure first." He spoke softly. Wan Shufang did not refuse, but nodded.
After making up their minds, the few of them headed in another direction, carefully along the way, and finally reached the treasure entrance smoothly.
Just as they were about to enter, two people suddenly flew down from the sky and blocked the door, blocking the way of Chen Changli and his group. The two men took a closer look and were immediately shocked.
"Chen Changli, Wan Shufang, if you don't want this woman to die, just obey me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man pressed the knife on Minghe's neck inwards. The knife flashed coldly and cut Minghe's delicate skin.
The bright red blood beads on her skin made her skin look even whiter than snow. Minghe felt pain and frowned subconsciously, but said nothing.
"Chen Changli, Wan Shufang, you'd better think it over carefully!" The man grabbed Minghe's arm even tighter. Seeing that he was trying to use Minghe to threaten him, Chen Changli's face turned cold.
He curled his lips, a sneer appeared on his face, and snorted: "She is just a stranger who has been traveling with me for a while. You are too confident and naive to use her to threaten me."
As he spoke, Chen Changli's eyes showed mockery. He waved his hand and gave the order without hesitation: "Go, get rid of him, don't hold back."
The secret guard took the order, flew forward, and approached the man step by step. Seeing that Chen Changli didn't care about Minghe's life or death at all, the man finally panicked and his face looked ugly.
"You, you don't care about her life or death?" The man's eyes were full of disbelief, and his hands began to tremble: "Don't come over here, or I will really kill her!"
He shouted angrily, but Chen Changli did not call back the secret guards. Seeing that Chen Changli's men were really coming, the man's legs went weak. He was sure he could not defeat so many people, not to mention that Chen Changli was there. He could no longer care about Minghe and pushed him forward.
A secret guard caught Ming He. Chen Changli looked at his hurriedly escaping back and whispered, "Go after him. We must catch him no matter what."
This was the first person they met outside Bhikkhu City. No matter who he was, he might be of great use. The secret guard immediately flew forward to chase the fleeing man.
Perhaps because he was not very skilled in martial arts, the man did not run far before he was caught by Chen Changli's men.
At this time, Wan Shufang looked at Minghe, whose eyes were a little dazed because of surprise, and couldn't help but explain: "Miss Minghe, Chen Changli didn't really ignore you just now. He just did it on purpose to make that person lose his temper so that he would save you."
"Don't let your imagination run wild. You've hurt the trust between us." Wan Shufang patted her shoulder, took out the ointment, and gently applied it to the wound on her neck: "This wound is not serious. If you apply the ointment properly, it won't leave a scar."
Minghe held her hand, took the ointment, and his voice was gentle and soft, like a spring breeze, blowing through people's hearts and making people feel peaceful.
"I know, Mrs. Chen."
As the daughter of a wealthy businessman, she has seen all kinds of troubles since she was a child. Minghe also understands Chen Changli's actions. Only in this way can she avoid being coerced.
Seeing that she understood, Wan Shufang felt relieved and nodded gently: "I'm glad you didn't think too much about it. Let's take a break and go see what's going on inside."
Wan Shufang looked at the stone gate with deep eyes, and her gaze met Chen Changli's. They both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes. Chen Changli left a few people to guard the door and took the rest into the cave.
The three of them walked to the stone gate, and Wan Shufang took out the jade pendant and placed it on the empty space on the stone gate.
Soon, a rumbling sound echoed in all directions, and the stone door gradually opened, revealing a dark road. Chen Changli took out a tinder, lit a torch and walked in.
He led the way, with Wan Shufang and Minghe protecting him behind him. Before they had gone far, the scene inside the stone gate changed. It was no longer pitch black, but there was some light.
There were stone walls all around, and the yellow stone walls were covered with gems. In the moonlight, the gems sparkled and illuminated Wan Shufang and her group.
"There really is a different world inside this stone gate." Wan Shufang murmured. The next second, her feet loosened and the ground she stepped on sank. Chen Changli and Wan Shufang's faces suddenly changed.
"Oh no, it's a trap!"
"Shufang, be careful."
An arrow shot towards Wan Shufang. Chen Changli quickly grabbed her hand and stepped back to avoid the arrow. Then, countless arrows flew out from all directions.
"Protect Miss Minghe."
Chen Changli pulled Wan Shufang away in time. At a command, the secret guards immediately ran to Minghe and blocked the arrows with swords. After a difficult resistance, the mechanism finally stopped.
The ground was full of arrows, but fortunately, no one was injured. Wan Shufang breathed a sigh of relief and said in a cold voice: "I didn't expect there was a mechanism in this cave."
Hearing this, Chen Changli looked around in silence. Looking at the seemingly bottomless tunnel, a faint light flashed in his eyes, and he spoke softly through his thin lips.
"It looks like there are a lot of traps. Everyone should be extremely careful next time. Miss Minghe and Madam will walk in the middle. I will be in front, Anqi will be the rear guard, and the others will be on the left and right sides."
"Yes, master."
The secret guards responded, and a group of people changed their formation and walked forward cautiously. This way, it was indeed full of traps as Chen Changli had guessed.
But because they were well prepared, they were safe along the way. After going around several circles, the group finally reached the core of the cave.
There were faint lights all around, and some white bones were scattered on the ground. The white bones all over the ground made people feel that the place was filled with a very yin energy.
Right in the middle of this place, there is a stone pillar as tall as half a person, with a box on it.
"That should be the treasure." Minghe said happily. He stood up and wanted to go forward, but was stopped by Wan Shufang.
Wan Shufang frowned and subconsciously stared at the bones on the ground. She didn't speak for a long time. She always felt that there was something wrong with this place. Her thoughts were in turmoil. Wan Shufang let go of Minghe's hand, walked forward, squatted down to check the bones.
The next second, her pupils suddenly dilated, and she raised her head. When she saw Chen Changli preparing to open the treasure, she quickly stopped him: "Changli, don't touch that box."
Wan Shufang stood up, ran quickly to Chen Changli and pulled him back.
