Chapter 2292

Even Shen Qiong was thinking about whether to retreat directly to the path they came from. If this statue released some kind of crossbow mechanism in a while, they might have no way to avoid it.

But even while everyone was struggling with this point, a gap burst open in the center of the statue's brow, and then an umbrella shot out from inside; it was precisely the Vajra Umbrella.

After seeing this umbrella, everyone became even more nervous. This could only explain two situations: First, since the owner of this umbrella was Yang Lusi, its sudden appearance meant the other party had solved all the problems and returned here.

Second, Yang Lusi was truly in danger, which led to her only throwing out this umbrella, and now they hadn't seen Yang Lusi's figure yet, so their hearts were filled with panic.

There was no need to continue guessing where Yang Lusi had gone. Regardless of whether she was dead or alive, the final result was that Yang Lusi had used some method to open the mechanism and then entered the interior of the statue.

Time returned to half an hour ago, when Yang Lusi had just chased after it and left words, telling everyone not to follow her, fearing that everyone would encounter danger.

And the others had fallen into that intense argument, naturally dividing into two factions, struggling over whether to violate Yang Lusi's orders.

Looking at Yang Lusi's side, she had chased that monster all the way to the end of the cliff where the Second Archaeological Team was now. Just as this monster was about to drag A Xiang down below.

Yang Lusi was finally one step faster, leaping into the air, and then using the tip of the Vajra Umbrella to snap the tongue that was sticking to A Xiang, simultaneously releasing the Hundred-Claw Hook.

After this monster let out a muffled grunt, it disappeared directly. It was unknown which cave it had hidden in again, but Yang Lusi was very calm!

The Hundred-Claw Hook had already shot onto the statue above. At the same time, after she went up, she found a unique point of leverage for A Xiang. Her body relied entirely on the Hundred-Claw Hook to maintain balance in the air.

Just as A Xiang wanted to speak, Yang Lusi suddenly raised her hand, because the position her body was in now was precisely the center of the brow above the Buddha's eyes.

Yang Lusi also happened to see the hole of the mechanism. At this moment, Yang Lusi suddenly thought of the Dust-Suppressing Pearl she was carrying.

Because the traces of the hole's groove were too similar to the patterns on the Dust-Suppressing Pearl. She signaled A Xiang not to speak; it was precisely because Yang Lusi didn't want the other party to interrupt her thinking.

Some things were just like this. Once the situation was confirmed, Yang Lusi would definitely make an attempt. Even though A Xiang was still here now, she believed that triggering the mechanism from A Xiang's position shouldn't affect the other party, so Yang Lusi didn't hesitate, directly taking out the Dust-Suppressing Pearl and pressing it onto the hole.

At this moment, Yang Lusi was also quite nervous. She knew that if there was any mechanism, it would definitely trigger immediately and come toward her face.

And if she wanted to dodge from her current position, she probably wouldn't have time. However, Yang Lusi had to gamble on this; after all, the fate of everyone in the Second Archaeological Team might be carried on her shoulders alone.

What needed to be done now was to quickly find a way out. Regardless of what was hidden behind this mechanism, and whether it would be helpful for their subsequent matters.

And whether there would be danger after entering, these were not things Yang Lusi needed to consider. Fundamentally, Yang Lusi had already determined that she must complete some things independently, free from the help Zhang Lin provided.

This was also the tacit understanding she had reached with Zhang Lin. Under this premise, Yang Lusi determined that what she needed to do now was to take risks boldly.

At the same time, she was certain that if there were any uncontrollable crises later, relying on the feelings between Zhang Lin and herself, he would definitely give a warning in advance. Since Zhang Lin hadn't done so, it meant Yang Lusi could act freely now.

After figuring this out, Yang Lusi simply stopped struggling with anything, embedded the Dust-Suppressing Pearl inside, and then gently rotated it clockwise, simultaneously taking a deep breath.

Just at this moment, a gap opened at the center of the Buddha statue's brow. No accident occurred, and Yang Lusi breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, she gave A Xiang a look. A Xiang handed her hand over directly. Yang Lusi sent A Xiang in first. The small platform supporting A Xiang's body now wasn't very stable either; if she continued to stand there, she might fall down soon.

The reason Yang Lusi did this now was because she had checked the inside of the hole in advance and knew no danger would occur, and this hole only allowed one person to pass through. Sure enough, after the two entered, there were no accidents, and they slowly crawled forward.

It was just that this hole closed by itself after Yang Lusi's body entered. A Xiang heard the sound behind her. Although, relying on her ability, she didn't have any bad premonitions, the instinctive consciousness of a person still made her somewhat worried.

She couldn't help but subconsciously say: "Team Leader Yang, we won't be unable to get out, right?"

Yang Lusi smiled calmly and comforted her: "Don't worry, it's fine."

The answer she gave was very simple, but Yang Lusi's words naturally gave people a sense of confidence.

So A Xiang believed it without doubt. In fact, taking a step back, besides believing, A Xiang couldn't do anything else either.

After the two crawled for dozens of meters, they saw a faint light ahead. That was the eternal lamp made of thousand-year-old corpse oil; whenever there was a tomb, there was always this kind of thing.

And ahead, there was even more gurgling water. After A Xiang went down, she was stunned. She had thought this would be a tomb chamber where she could see coffins, but unexpectedly, it was entirely a closed structure, and there was no scene she had anticipated at all.

Ahead, there were only two bronze dragon sculptures, with water gurgling from their mouths. It should have formed an internal circulation and was connected to an underground tributary.

Otherwise, after such a long time, the limited water would have long since evaporated. Only if the flowing water outside remained connected could this place be maintained continuously.

Yang Lusi was immediately attracted by the "Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl" statue.

While thinking of this term, she suddenly realized that since it was "Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl," the dragons were there, but where was the pearl?

Yang Lusi walked slowly to the front, but A Xiang grabbed her arm directly and said: "Team Leader Yang, be careful!"
