"And then?" Lin Yi asked.
"Oh … Then try to move this piece down …" Xiaoke pointed at another piece.
"This one?" Lin Yi placed his hand on the piece Xiaoke was talking about and was about to move it when the jade sent a warning signal. It seemed like if he moved it now, danger would appear! Lin Yi shook his head, "Not this one, it's dangerous."
"Ah?" Xiaoke paused. She didn't think that Lin Yi would feel danger without even touching the puzzle pieces. She felt that it was a little strange, but this wasn't the first time Lin Yi had acted like this on the way, so she wasn't surprised anymore. "Then move the top piece and move this one down."
"This one?" Lin Yi felt it and there was no danger, so he nodded, "Okay, it works!"
"This one is fine?" Xiaoke paused. She didn't know how Lin Yi knew that moving the puzzle wouldn't bring danger to them.
"Heh …" Lin Yi smiled as he moved the piece, "This one is safe, which one should we move next?"
"Amazing!" Xiaoke clicked her tongue, thinking that this male thief was quite skillful, being able to tell if there was danger just by touching something. Xiaoke definitely didn't have this kind of ability! Xiaoke looked at the pieces on the ground, "This one, can I move it?"
"Yes," Lin Yi said and moved the piece Xiaoke was pointing at.
"What about this one?" Xiaoke asked.
"No." Lin Yi shook his head.
"Then this one?" Xiaoke asked again.
"This one is fine," Lin Yi nodded.
… …
Ten hours later, Lin Yi finally placed the last piece of the puzzle in the correct position. He stepped aside and let out a long sigh of relief, "I'm finally done!"
In actuality, Lin Yi had a golden finger, but he couldn't move the puzzle as he pleased. He had to test every single piece, and that greatly delayed the efficiency of moving the puzzle. As a result, the two of them worked together for more than ten hours before they were able to complete the puzzle!
Compared to the Life Gate pattern from before, it was almost twice as long!
"Click," on the death door, there was a sound similar to when the life door opened, followed by a loud rumbling sound. The mechanism was completely activated.
"It's finally open!" Xiaoke breathed in relief, "But, there might be danger in here, we need to be prepared!"
"Stay beside me later, don't do anything rash, I'll be able to sense it immediately, it'll be fine," Lin Yi said. Without Elder Yu by his side, Lin Yi was a lot more casual.
"En," Xiaoke nodded. She didn't know why, but she had an inexplicable sense of trust towards Lin Yi. She felt that as long as Lin Yi was there, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Now, only Lin Yi, Xiaoke, and General Weiwu were left in the tomb, so Lin Yi didn't need to ask anything. He walked over and opened the death door! Even if Lin Yi didn't do it, Xiaoke would do it, so it was safer for Lin Yi to do it.
It was completely different from the life door, the path behind the death door was just like the tomb, smooth and spacious, even more luxurious and beautiful than before! The two sides of the path were smooth and flat, but the wall behind the death door was engraved with murals.
Lin Yi walked very slowly to prepare for any danger that might come at any time, but the jade on his chest didn't alert Lin Yi, which surprised him!
After walking for about a kilometer, it was still very peaceful. There was no movement from the jade pendant, and nothing happened in the passageway!
"Why is it so quiet? There's no movement at all? "Xiaoke asked curiously.
"How would I know?" Lin Yi smiled bitterly, "Oh right, let me ask you something, inside the death door, are there any powerful traps?"
"That … might not be the case." Xiaoke thought for a while and said, "Normally, that's true, but sometimes there are exceptions. There might be no traps in the death door, and all the traps are concentrated in the place where the death door should be opened!"
Lin Yi nodded and continued walking. Although he heard Xiaoke's explanation, Lin Yi didn't let his guard down.
Suddenly, General Weiwu, who was in front of Lin Yi, stopped and stood in the middle of the path!
"What's wrong?" Lin Yi was startled, not understanding what General Weiwu meant. Was there danger? At least, the jade on Lin Yi's chest didn't send out any warning signals!
"Woof, woof —" General Weiwu barked at the darkness in front of them.
Lin Yi and Xiaoke were confused, not knowing what General Weiwu was trying to do.
In the darkness far away, there was no movement at all.
Lin Yi was puzzled, but General Weiwu called out twice again. This time, there seemed to be a hint of anger in its cries!
"Woof, woof —" General Weiwu barked even louder than before!
This time, there was finally movement in the darkness. There were two weak 'ji ji' sounds, and then a small shadow walked towards General Weiwu, twisting and wobbling as if it was very scared!
"What is that?" You Xiaoke looked at the thing that was walking over and asked curiously.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, had the same question, but he was excited for no reason. Was it … really that thing?
When the little fellow walked closer, Lin Yi's eyes finally froze! His guess was right. From the looks of it, it was that little fellow!
This little thing looked a bit like a pig, but it wasn't very similar. Its entire body was round and upright, but it walked on two hind legs. Its front paws were like arms, hanging on both sides, swaying. It was a bit like a cute version of Zhu Bajie.
Looking at the little fellow, it seemed a little wronged, as if General Weiwu disturbed its dream. It wanted to protest, but it didn't dare to. It could only walk over under General Weiwu's angry roar!
