Chapter 789: Living Toward Death

"Climb down!"

Liu Zheng shouted loudly.

Although these people did not understand the reason in their hearts, they always executed Liu Zheng's orders very thoroughly.

"Down!"

"Follow it and climb down!"

The order was passed down.

Liu Zheng and Wu Zhen were also on high alert at this moment.

Sure enough.

When they were originally climbing up, nothing had happened. But when they decided to climb down—

Suddenly.

A terrifying sound came from above.

: rg

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

A sky full of arrows rained down from above without a word.

The sudden arrival of the arrows caused people's expressions to change drastically.

"Young Master, watch out!"

These cold arrows came suddenly and were naturally about to fall on Liu Zheng's head. Pei Qianyun's reaction was also extremely fast; he let out an angry shout and actually swept his fist horizontally, knocking the arrows aside!

But these cold arrows came too fast, too many, and too fiercely. Liu Zheng was fine, protected by Pei Qianyun, but the others were not so lucky. Many people were hit directly by these cold arrows and died on the spot, and there were countless others who were severely injured and fell into the abyss.

"Damn it!"

"Watch out!"

"Everyone, watch out!"

They had just climbed onto this Stone Pillar, and this happens?

At this moment, they had effectively become living targets, and living targets who dared not move too much at that!

"What the hell is this now!"

People panicked all at once.

The situation was now very clear. If they continued to climb up, this situation would certainly not occur because the person who designed all this was waiting for them to go up! However, if they went up, what awaited them would certainly be an even more irresistible attack!

Downward.

Sure enough!

Liu Zheng and Wu Zhen exchanged a glance.

If you follow the design of this tomb, there is only one possibility awaiting you: death!

All of you will die!

The fact that these arrows were unleashed meant that their intention was to stop these people from climbing down.

In this situation, you can only do the opposite!

But Liu Zheng still roared.

At this time, the crowd also understood the logic behind it, and naturally, they had no other thoughts.

"Continue down! Do not stop!"

The sky was filled with a rain of arrows, covering everything.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

At this time, who would care how disgusting, how troublesome, or how foul-smelling this Stone Pillar was?

Climb!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Many people were falling down.

But you still could hardly hear the sound of them hitting the ground.

Saving one's life is what matters!

The whooshing sounds in the front were the sounds of them climbing down, while the whooshing sounds in the back were the sounds of the sky-filling rain of arrows. These arrows took away many people's lives, and the screams that one could not bear to hear rose one after another again; the scene suddenly became tragic once more.

The force of the rain of arrows coming down quickly changed from the initial fierce power to something erratic. After all, the arrows only had a head made of iron; the other parts were still wood, and wood would naturally lose its initial force after flying for a long time. In this way, the threat to these people naturally decreased a lot.

The soldiers were each climbing down, gripping the Stone Pillar with one hand.

One can imagine just how deep this abyss really is!

But fortunately.

The Prince of Wei himself was an expert, so naturally, he had no major problems. However, the Prince of Yong was accidentally hit by an arrow; fortunately, it was not in any vital area, but it was still painfully unbearable.

"Everyone must still be careful, watch out for other mechanisms!"

He drew his sword with one hand to fend off the sky-filling rain of arrows.

Liu Zheng was not injured under Pei Qianyun's protection.

The rain of arrows was still drifting down, but it had basically ceased to pose any threat to them.

A question suddenly popped into Liu Zheng's mind.

Liu Zheng continued to remind them.

However, things went much more smoothly afterward.

Was there really a group of people in this tomb, or was it that when they climbed down, they triggered some kind of mechanism, which was why this sky-filling rain of arrows came down?

At this moment, he naturally had no way of knowing.

Was it actually people?

Is it a mechanism again?

Just as Liu Zheng had guessed, this abyss began to grow hotter and hotter, more and more scorching. Soon, it made one feel as if they had arrived inside a Stove, with the feeling of bitter cold completely gone. The air was becoming increasingly scorching and harder to breathe.

"Look!"

Because a new problem had appeared once again.

As this countless number of people descended further and further.

In the originally dim environment, a bright spot finally began to appear.

A Huoshan!

At this moment, someone exclaimed.

People looked over upon hearing the sound.

A Huoshan beneath the water!

This Tuolei certainly had a keen eye for detail when building his own mausoleum. Ancient people were very particular about the theory of the Five Elements—that is, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Looking at it this way, this Wangchuan Valley, or rather this mausoleum of Tuolei, actually occupied many elements within these Five Elements. One could even say he had all of the Five Elements complete!

Liu Zheng took a deep breath!

It really was a Huoshan!

The light grew larger, seemingly confirming Liu Zheng's conjecture.

A crater indeed appeared at the bottom of the abyss.

Impressive!

Climbing further down.

"Continue!"

The rain of arrows filling the sky had finally ceased at this moment.

Seeing this, people could not help but gasp.

One must know that just a moment ago, countless blood monkeys and people had fallen into this crater; looking at the raging flames and the scorching heat they could feel from far away, one knew the fate of those blood monkeys and people—they had likely long since been burned to dust!

No matter how one looked at it, this crater represented an even more terrifying existence.

Finding life in death?

People increasingly knew that their correct direction should be down here!

However.

At this time, you must increasingly not follow what others have designed; you must go against it! Only then is it possible to survive!

People continued to climb.

This phrase suddenly flashed through Liu Zheng's mind.

Yes.

One is the blinding light.

The second is fear.

Even though the air had become increasingly scorching, even though breathing had become increasingly labored.

That terrifying fire was also getting closer and closer, to the point that people dared not look directly at this mass of flames.

Finding life in death.

Many people in their hearts had already begun to despair; such a crater, even if one went down, what could be done?

During this process, quite a few soldiers and accompanying personnel fell because they suddenly lost their grip.

The fear of death began to permeate people's hearts.

Liu Zheng shouted loudly.

But it still could not stop many people from crying out at this moment.

Isn't it just going to one's death all the same?

"Everyone, hold steady! Climb down slowly; only by going down will we know what the situation is, right?"

"Those who disobey orders shall be executed!"

Seeing this situation, the Prince of Wei immediately roared.

Wailing and weeping.

No one could stand this atmosphere anymore!

It was getting hotter and hotter.

Death seemed to be getting closer and closer as well.

Only then did people's emotions stabilize somewhat.

Descending further and further.

"Ahhhhh!"

At this moment, the Stone Pillar seemed to have become so scorching that people could no longer hold onto it firmly.

The crater was already within reach.

"If I die, I die!"

Suddenly, they felt the surroundings actually become cool.

"This?"

The group of people who had climbed down first were shouting angrily, already climbing with their eyes closed.

Yet, the very next moment.

What is this situation?

Many people were stunned and opened their eyes.

And then, all had expressions of disbelief.
