Chapter 1551: Not to That Extent

"Don't, there's no need for that, Mr. Ye Er." Qishu was startled; he knew what Ye Er meant by "means"—it was using explosives to force the place open.

However, given the layout of this place, using such means was clearly not feasible. After all, pulling one hair would move the whole body; if they really blew it up, all of them might be buried there.

"Then you'd better hurry up and think of a way to open this door; I'm already getting impatient." Ye Er said sinisterly, "Qishu is famous throughout the world, surely you aren't the type to drag your feet?"

"Mr. Ye Er, I will find a way. I know we truly have no retreat; aside from going through this place, I really wish there were other places to enter, but this is the only entrance on this line." Qishu nodded hurriedly.

For a Demon who killed without blinking an eye like this, there was no reasoning to be had. Whatever he said went; one could not clash with him head-on, otherwise, who knew what would happen if this guy went mad.

He walked forward, looked at the pictographs on the stone door, then took a deep breath, spread his arms, and placed them above the two Star Ring-shaped mechanisms.

As the two Star Rings slowly rotated, there was finally a faint, subtle click, and the stone door emitted a rumbling sound as it slowly opened to both sides.

This door, which had not been opened for who knows how many years, kicked up countless dust, and everything inside was revealed to everyone's eyes in that instant.

Two clusters of black gas, invisible to the naked eye, darted out from the door and circled the crowd. Some of the black gas landed on everyone present, and then these black gases shot into the sky, permeating the entire island.

Everyone felt as if a voice was screaming hysterically deep within their hearts, and it seemed as if a dark cloud was hanging over their heads, but these people were completely unaware; no one knew what would happen in the future.

"Haha, it's open, it's finally open! I spent a full ten years of effort to find this place; hard work pays off for those who are determined." Ye Er laughed heartily, looking at the depths of the door with an excited face.

"Wait..." Seeing that Ye Er was about to go in, Qishu was startled and hurriedly stopped him.

"What? Can't we go in yet? Why are you so troublesome?" Ye Er's brows locked, already somewhat displeased.

He was cruel by nature; such a person had no patience to speak of. Treating Qishu with courtesy along this journey was already the limit of his endurance.

Now, watching the treasure vault open before his eyes yet being unable to enter made him very impatient.

"General, do not be anxious; we still must follow the necessary procedures." Qishu's expression was stern as he took two white mice out of his backpack and placed them on the ground.

The two white mice poked their heads around on the ground for a bit, crawled to the entrance, and then slowly crawled into the depths.

Just after crawling five or six meters inside the door, the two white mice suddenly squeaked sharply and then began to twist in pain.

Immediately following, the two white mice fell to the ground with their bellies facing the sky, not moving at all. A moment later, the corpses of the white mice suddenly twisted, and a puff of green smoke rose from the two white mice corpses.

Following that, the two white mice with snow-white fur instantly turned into two Dried Corpses, their state of death incomparably miserable.

Ye Er obediently shut his mouth. He had never imagined that the situation inside would be like this. If Qishu hadn't stopped him just now, and he had taken his men in, he likely would have lost his life here.

"Mr. Ye Er, our ancestors often explored large tombs. Among them, some large tombs in steep mountains were far more magnificent than this, so we summarized our own set of experiences."

Qishu let out a breath and said, "No matter when, one must respect ghosts and gods. Like this place before us, I don't know how long it has been since the door was opened; the air hasn't circulated, so none of us know what the situation is inside."

"Therefore, when we go in, we must figure out the situation inside. Like the situation before us, we cannot go in."

"Then are we just going to stand here and watch?" Ye Er said through gritted teeth. He had laid out his plans for a full ten years, and seeing that the plan was about to succeed, he was very unwilling to fall short at the final hurdle.

But it was very obvious that there was poison inside, and it wasn't worth throwing his Life away here.

"Of course not. Before this place was closed, it released a type of toxin. Moreover, no one has ever opened this ruin in all these years, so the toxin filling the space can cause sudden death. We only need to ventilate it for a moment before we can go in," Qishu said.

"That's good. Qishu, you are worthy of being an expert in this field. I offended you earlier; from now on, we will listen to you." Ye Er nodded.

In some matters, one must specialize; you have to admit it when you aren't as good. Just like this situation, if one were to rush in recklessly, who knows how many dangers would be waiting inside.

"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Ye Er. I guarantee I will safely bring Mr. Ye Er out." Qishu smiled slightly. This black ghost was finally convinced; just a moment ago he still had an arrogant and disdainful look on his face, but the change now was truly fast.

After waiting for about half an hour, the trapped air inside had dissipated quite a bit. Qishu used other methods to probe the situation inside again, then said, "We can go in now. Everyone, follow closely and try not to make any noise."

"Go, let's go in." Ye Er grinned and waved his hand, leading his subordinates inside.

Outside the Secret Realm, several indigenous people of the island had already brought Chen Yu to the front of the Secret Realm.

Outside the passage, there were more than twenty private soldiers holding weapons guarding the area. These people were the private soldiers of the Red Skull, all professionally trained, so their military quality was extremely high, and their combat power was comparable to regular troops.

And because they lived in a war-torn zone, going to the battlefield to kill was a common occurrence, so their comprehensive combat power was even higher.

"Mr. Chen, this place is the location of the secret on our Pirate Island," an indigenous person said. "Leader Wang told us to bring you here and to follow all your commands."

"Ye Er is quite meticulous, knowing to arrange a few people outside." Chen Yu stared at the twenty-plus private soldiers pacing back and forth, vigilantly watching their surroundings, and couldn't help but smile.

"Yes, there are quite a lot of them, and the weapons in their hands are also very advanced. If the few of us go over, we will definitely be at a disadvantage," the indigenous person said. "Should I notify Leader Wang now and have them send a few people over?"

"No need, it's too much trouble. Just leave these few people to me to handle," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "You wait here for now; I'll go take care of them."
