Chapter 779: To Hell with Whatever Ghosts and Monsters
"What?"
"One hundred and one?"
Liu Zheng's angry remark left the group stunned.
Following that, however, Liu Zheng's eyes lit up.
That's right!
This is actually a Method! Didn't this passage start to go "berserk" when there were more than one hundred people? Why is that? Could it be that this passage can only support one hundred people? The Blood Sacrifice that Wu Zhen spoke of requires the continuous infusion of the menstrual blood of countless people into the center of this tomb, which is then condensed through some secret formation along with their vengeful spirits, truly turning the Feng Shui here into "Wangchuan."
Then these passages must be responsible for "transporting" these people inside.
So then,
what would happen if it were overloaded?
Wu Zhen in particular had eyes that lit up: "This is indeed a method worth trying, but..."
He wanted to say that this method certainly carries a greater potential for danger! Because this means using an increase in numbers to destroy this passage, and after destroying this passage, what will happen? Where will these people go?
: rg
Will this transport tool collapse?
Aside from Liu Zheng, the other few people also looked at each other in horror.
There certainly will be!
What will happen?
Liu Zheng frowned.
This method does sound rather unreliable. But he always felt that this tomb was filled with too many mysteries and possibilities; how could a tomb of such massive scale, filled with traps everywhere, not guard against the appearance of a one hundred and first person?
Rumble, rumble.
Suddenly, at this moment, the people in the tomb were all startled by the sound of cannons.
Liu Zheng took a deep breath.
Rumble, rumble.
"The fighting has started?"
Many people's expressions changed drastically.
"This..."
"What are they doing up there?"
It seems the Liaodong army and the Longyan Army have begun to fight for control over Wangchuan Valley.
Under these circumstances, they certainly cannot get out.
The sound of these cannons is not small; it has shaken the tomb back and forth, sending dust flying.
War has started!
"Move!"
"One hundred and one, let it be one hundred and one!"
We can only move inward!
They no longer had a way back!
Liu Zheng stood out and said.
Others tried to persuade him otherwise.
With dangers ahead and pursuers behind, it was time to face it regardless! These people simply decided to go all out. Rather than waiting here to die, rather than feeling this increasingly eerie atmosphere here, and rather than waiting here to starve to death, it is better to take a chance!
"Fine! I will go first this time!"
This was a premonition, because it was the only method left.
He had a feeling that this time, it would definitely lead this group of people to somewhere else!
Liu Zheng stubbornly shook his head this time.
He believed that one hundred and one people should be a way to resolve the current predicament.
The Prince of Yong, the Prince of Wei, and Tie Mucheng could not persuade him.
Pei Qianyun naturally wanted to guard Liu Zheng's side, but what was unexpected was that Li Xuanya also ran over, and no matter what Liu Zheng said, she would not leave.
"Vice Minister Liu..."
"Lord Liu..."
Above their heads, the artillery fire was constant.
Liu Zheng's group was fully armed.
Seeing this, the three from the Prince of Wei's side could only decide to follow Liu Zheng.
The three of them each brought the toughest and most trusted guards from their sides, and soon, including Wu Zhen, this team of one hundred and one people was assembled. Seeing this, the others were naturally moved beyond words. Vice Minister Liu is leading by example, what else is there to say? They also began to form teams of one hundred and one, intending to follow behind.
Stepping into this passage for the first time, Liu Zheng could not help but take a deep breath.
He had read many stories about tomb raiding in his past life, but the actual smell of rotting earth entering his nose still gave one a feeling of being terrified. Who knows how many people this passage has funneled in over so many years, how many have died here, and how many vengeful spirits are wandering here.
"Move!"
With a wave of his hand, Wu Zhen suggested he walk in front, with Liu Zheng following behind, flanked by Pei Qianyun and Li Xuanya, and then the Prince of Wei and the others.
Walk slowly.
Walk slowly.
How many people's dying screams are in the air here? Then, fermenting in this narrow space...
Thinking of this, Liu Zheng had an urge to vomit.
What will happen?
No one knows.
The passageway was indeed very wide; two people walking side by side would have no problem. Moreover, there were night-luminescent pearls in the passageway as well, ensuring that the place did not become dim due to a lack of light.
When they walked in, those people outside were all watching with eager anticipation.
The last person would dash in with the force of a thunderbolt when the passageway "acted up."
He just wanted to see.
Whether these people could come out alive, no one knew.
Liu Zheng had prepared for one hundred and one people for this team.
Eighty people.
Ninety people.
What on earth does this tomb want to do!
Fifty people.
Liu Zheng and the others also felt that the number of people who had entered was about right.
One hundred people.
Everyone outside was trembling with fear, their breathing even coming to a halt.
Finally.
"Enter!"
Just as the passageway was about to change direction, the last person rushed in.
Sure enough.
When the last person stepped inside, the entire passageway began to shake violently. The people in the passageway all began to lose their balance, swaying from side to side.
Suddenly, at this moment, Wu Zhen exclaimed.
Liu Zheng had just stumbled and was held steady by Pei Qianyun and Li Xuanya beside him, preventing him from falling; hearing this warning, he looked up.
The initial shaking had already made people feel a powerful suction force appearing at the end of the passageway, making it difficult to stand steadily. Now that another person had entered, this passageway seemed to have become restless! The frequency of the shaking became even more intense; the passageway seemed to be expressing its anger.
"My Lord, watch out!"
But no one expected that the end of this passageway would be so wide, suddenly becoming ten people wide, and at this moment, at this end, dense, countless claws appeared to the eye!
That's right!
At this sight, his expression changed drastically.
They saw that, before they knew it, they had already appeared at the end of the passageway.
After the claws reached out, their movements were extremely swift.
They came straight for the faces of Liu Zheng and the others.
It was claws!
And they were very large claws! They were as big as a person's head; it was unknown how many years those claws had existed, looking like withered wood, yet they were very thick and sturdy, still stained with blood, which made one feel terrified just looking at them. But they could only see the appearance of these claws and did not see what was behind them.
Bang!
The claw seemed not to have expected that someone could counterattack it! It hadn't been paying attention for a moment and was almost smashed to pieces by Pei Qianyun.
"Kill!"
Pei Qianyun let out an angry shout; he didn't care what kind of monsters or demons they were—as long as you dared to harm the Young Master, he would finish you! Just as the claw was about to grab Liu Zheng's face, his Golden Hammer had already smashed over.
"Ah!"
But on Liu Zheng's side, having barely escaped a disaster, a guard from the Prince of Wei's side had already been ruthlessly snatched away by that claw!
Everyone's expression changed drastically.
