Imperial Treasure

Chapter 569 - 366: Mechanism Boulder, Green-Haired Rice Dumplings_2

Actually, usually you can’t escape because there are people around Sui Yi and the others. Even if you are quick enough, if the people beside you don’t dodge, you are blocked, and they can only watch helplessly as the stone falls and hits them squarely...

It was extremely dangerous.

When Sui Yi mentioned this, the fat man rubbed his hands nervously, while Skinny Waist’s eyes flashed, asking, "Miss Sui, how did you know it was a boulder mechanism? You didn’t even touch the walls, and you can’t understand these characters..."

"There are stones above," said Sui Yi indifferently.

Stones?

When everyone looked up, they saw that the stones sealing the ceiling were spaced apart and just above the spot where Sui Yi and the others stood. The joining seams of that particular stone were darker than the rest. Why was that?

Because it protruded lower than the other stones.

"Indeed it’s a trap stone mechanism. With past craftsmanship, these mechanism stones couldn’t possibly remain intact. Due to the influence of gravity, they would eventually drop a little. Perhaps in another thousand years, it would fall on its own. It’s a good thing, Fatso, that you were hit on the hand just now. Otherwise, Miss Sui and the others would have been in trouble. You’re really meticulous..." Mount Mover stroked his beard, pondering.

With a slightly red face, the fat man gave an embarrassed chuckle, "I know what I did wrong... So we can’t trigger this mechanism? What about this tomb chamber..."

"We just need to move out of its range," Sui Yi stepped forward, and Yhan Qingwu, Third Lady Yin, and Xiao Qi also stepped away a few paces.

With a flick of her finger, Sui Yi accurately hit the palace lantern with another pebble...and with a click!

The gate opened... but the boulder...

Boom!

It heavily smashed onto the ground.

The ground shook for a moment.

"With that noise, I’m afraid the group ahead of us knows as well!" Second Master Gong frowned, but Sui Yi said eerily, "If the village chief wasn’t wrong, then at least two groups have entered this ancient tomb before us. We haven’t found any traces or casualties of them along the way, which means they haven’t encountered each other yet, but they are in front of us... With this stone falling, they will know."

They would know, and then what? Those in front would dread those behind, and those behind would dread those in front...

But they would all speed up towards the Main Tomb Chamber...

The faster they move, the sooner they would start slaughtering each other...

This method was indeed cunning and ruthless.

It was then that the people felt the chill and mercilessness of this young lady.

"What about the treasure? If the Main Tomb Chamber’s treasure..." Xue the Skillful Hand couldn’t help but shout.

Sui Yi glanced at him gently, "What I want is not the treasure."

Cold and ghostly, she poured a bucket of cold water over everyone’s heads.

At that moment, they all came to their senses, realizing they were indeed not here for the treasure. They felt pity for themselves, having been so pleased they had forgotten their original purpose...

No wonder Sui Yi warned them,

Second Master Gong’s eyes deepened, saying, "Indeed, the Main Tomb Chamber’s treasures have nothing to do with us. After all, we are here to find someone..."

The fat man smacked his lips, "I have a feeling that Miss Gong is at that end of the Main Tomb...With their capabilities, they surely wouldn’t be stuck at the tail end, right?"

Yhan Qingwu smiled, "If I find her, I will pass on your words. She will definitely like it,"

Her words sounded a bit strange.

The fat man’s expression stiffened, and he nodded.

Just as they were about to move deeper inside...

"What’s that sound?" Third Lady Yin suddenly gestured, and everyone was taken aback. Sui Yi heard it too.

The sound of screaming... right behind them...

"It seems there’s another group behind us! And they have also triggered a mechanism..."

Third Lady Yin pressed her ear to the wall for a moment, then her complexion subtly changed. She turned her head and whispered urgently, "Go! Those things are very fast and extremely vicious, and those people are already howling in pain! They also have far more guns than we do!"

What!

Everyone was startled; they had only just been plotting against the groups ahead, and now there was another group from behind!

"Damn it, is this a hornet’s nest? Poke it and they all come out! Run!"

Second Master Gong shouted, and they all sprinted forward.

Sui Yi glanced backward.

Was Third Lady Yin’s hearing better than hers... She did not hear that clearly, yet the other party heard it so distinctly...

Was it because of incredible supernatural abilities or...

As they hurried forward cautiously yet swiftly, during the commotion, Second Master Gong suddenly screamed in agony. Sui Yi looked up just in time to see Second Master Gong being dragged into a narrow passage nearby...

The others didn’t react in time, but Sui Yi quickly stepped forward. She pointed her finger with the Demon Que at the air, turning to face the dark, hellish-looking passage. The air was thick with the stench of decay, along with chilling, low voices from inside...

The inside was dark and cold, with low growling sounds as if they were right beside their ears...

The others were dead silent. Before the flashlight shone inside, something was suddenly flung out in front of Sui Yi...

Head-on!

Whoosh! Sui Yi dodged to the side, and smack! The object landed on a Tang Family member standing behind Sui Yi.

A... a severed arm!

"Ah!!" The young man went pale, yelling, "Second Master, Second Master..."

The flashlight quickly swept inside.

The beam converged.

The narrow passage was concave and U-shaped, and at its deepest point, there suddenly appeared a coffin hanging vertically on the wall...

In front of the coffin, a tall shadow loomed over Second Master Gong. As the light hit it, the figure turned its face.

That pale and rotting face, the sharp fangs, the green hairs on the skin, the strong scent of a corpse... it was...

"Run! It’s Rice Dumplings! Damn it, they’ve got green hair, it’s Green-Haired Rice Dumplings!"

"Hurry!"

Although they had Black Donkey Hoof on them, against the Green-Haired Rice Dumplings, which were a level or two above ordinary zombies, its effectiveness was greatly reduced. It wasn’t just about saving people,

Chapter 367

there was no time even to run!

Of course, faster than them, the Green-Haired Rice Dumplings... already dashed out ferociously!

Alright, not dashed, but leapt! (To be continued... If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
