Before Wan Yankang could finish yelling, the fourth floor finally lit up.
A chain as thick as a baby's arm led to the stairs leading to the fifth floor. Thousands of rats were gathered in the pit below the chain. The rats were hopping and trying to climb up, but the height of their jumps was just right for the chain.
"Blergh —" Murong Qinglian vomited all the bitterness in her gall bladder. "Disgusting! Blergh — "
"Tsk tsk, I thought Fourth Miss was not afraid of anything! I didn't expect Fourth Miss to be afraid of rats! "
Su Mei saw Murong Qinglian's reaction and immediately took the opportunity to mock her. Not being able to make Murong Qinglian suffer had already made Su Mei very unhappy. Now that she finally had a chance, how could she let it go!
"Blergh —" Murong Qinglian did not have the strength to argue with Su Mei anymore. Those rats made her want to die.
"These rats have been starving for many days." Murong Qiqi looked at the rats and was more and more impressed by the person who came up with the question. She did not expect that there would be such a smart person in this era. However, simple rats were not scary. This question should not be that easy!
Murong Qiqi's guess was soon verified. "Whoosh —" A red flame extended from the other end of the stairs. When it came closer, the crowd realized that there was a stove under the chain, and it was drenched with pine resin.
Because of the fire, the rats scattered for a while, but soon, they became even more stubborn and started jumping on the chain.
"Aren't rats afraid of fire? Why are they still jumping on the chain? What if the chain turns red — "Helan Lianyi frowned as he looked at the scene. His words reminded everyone that if the chain turned red, how were they going to get over?
"Because the chain is smeared with something that they like! Yiyue, you're injured, go first! "Murong Qiqi pushed Bai Yiyue to the side of the chain." I'll follow behind you! "
Knowing that Murong Qiqi was giving her the opportunity, Bai Yiyue was very touched. She was also afraid of rats, and her legs were a little weak. Standing in front of the chain and looking at the jumping rats, she was actually a little afraid.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay. Keep your eyes on the front, don't look down, and don't listen to the sound! I'll be right behind you! If we don't go now, we won't have time later! When the chains turn red, no one will be able to cross! "
Murong Qiqi took something and stuffed it into Bai Yiyue's ears. With Murong Qiqi's encouragement, Bai Yiyue 'floated' over on the chain.
"Good movement technique!" Murong Qiqi exclaimed softly and stepped onto the chain as well.
Right now, the chains were already warm, and Murong Qiqi's heart skipped a beat. She used the chains to run to the other end while warning the people behind her, "Everyone, be careful! The chains are hot! Hurry up and come here one by one. Don't waste any time! "
Long Ze Jingtian was secretly shocked that Murong Qiqi could successfully pass through.
He was mesmerized by Murong Qiqi's lightness just now. This woman clearly knew martial arts! She knew martial arts! He had been hiding it from everyone, not even Murong Tai! They had all been 'tricked' by Murong Qiqi!
Longze Jingtian felt like he had been tricked. Thinking back to the cancellation of the engagement, could it have been planned by Murong Qiqi? Could it be that she didn't want to marry him at all and was willing to bear the bad reputation to obtain the Marriage Annulment Letter?
This woman actually dared to play him like a monkey! Did he look like an idiot to her?! Longze Jingtian clenched his fists and fiercely smashed them against the wall. He only felt pain when the stone bridge scraped his skin and started to bleed.
"Your Highness, are you alright?!" Murong Qinglian endured the urge to vomit and exclaimed, "Your Highness, you're bleeding!"
"I'm fine!" Longze Jingtian clenched his teeth and followed Murong Qiqi closely. Good, very good! You actually dared to play with me in the palm of my hand, to play with me! Murong Qiqi, since you want to escape from me, then I will have you. I will punish you well and make you my slave!
"Let's go!" Jialan Lianyi and Londo had already crossed the chain, leaving only the people from West Qi and the three people from East Lu.
"You guys go first!" At this moment, Longze Jingtian's body emitted a strong chill that made people shiver. The three people from East Lu saw Longze Jingtian like this and climbed up the chain while shivering.
"Squeak squeak!" The rats in the pit below were crying even louder. A rat jumped onto the person from East Lu and opened its mouth to bite him.
"Ah!" That person was in pain. He lost his balance and fell into the rat pit.
All the rats swarmed over and surrounded that person. Their white teeth glistened as they gnawed on that person's body. That person struggled to stand up, but his body was covered with black rats. One of the rats opened its mouth and bit off that person's eyeball. "Ah!" The man's miserable cry reached everyone's ears. Bai Yi Yue closed her eyes as she could not bear to see such a miserable scene.
"Ugh — —" Seeing the rats eating a living person, Murong Qinglian supported herself against the wall and vomited again. Now, she had vomited everything she could. Tears dripped down her face and she looked extremely pitiful.
"Yun Qing, you go first! Lady Murong, come and get on my back! "Longze Jingtian half-squatted and patted Murong Qinglian's shoulder.
Murong Qinglian was stunned. She did not understand what Longze Jingtian meant. "Your Highness, you?"
"I will carry you over!"
"This, this …"
"Hurry up! Otherwise, we won't go over later! "Longze Jingtian grabbed Murong Qinglian's hand and placed it on his shoulder, then stepped on the metal chain. The scalding heat passed through the soles of his shoes to the soles of his feet.
Not good! The metal chain was about to turn red! "Go!" Longze Jingtian ran as if he was flying as he stepped on the burning red metal chain.
Pu pu pu! Murong Qinglian, who was lying on Longze Jingtian's back, was unusually quiet. She was as obedient as a little rabbit. It was unknown whether her face was red because of the heat from the metal chain or because of her shyness.
Longze Jingtian's shoulders were very sturdy and broad. Furthermore, his body smelled exceptionally good. Faint ambergris, faint masculinity … Murong Qinglian did not know what happened to her. Just when Longze Jingtian wanted to bring her over, the places in her heart that were filled by Feng Cang were all replaced by Longze Jingtian.
Adversity reveals a man's heart! Only Longze Jingtian still thought of her and helped her at this moment. It could be seen that this kind of man was a true man!
