"Look at the stone door over there. It's also a formation. You can't break it!" Chen Xinniang said, "So, if you want to break the formation, you have to listen to me. Otherwise, if I die, you will be trapped here and can't get out!"
"Is that so?" Xiao Chen said coldly, "Don't think that just because you got a few formation flags and know some shallow formation, you are a grandmaster. Even without you, we can still break the formation!"
"You … know that it's a formation flag!?" Chen Xinniang looked at Xiao Chen in surprise. The small flag in her hand was a very rare existence in the martial arts world. No one knew about it because these formation flags would be integrated into the formation after it was set up and could not be seen at all. These remaining formations were set up by the great powers of the ancient times, so very few people knew about formation flags. They didn't even know their names, let alone recognize them.
"Don't be surprised, I also know about formations. Didn't you see that I wasn't injured? I had a premonition that the formation would explode, so I dodged it at that moment! "Xiao Chen said casually.
"Ah …" Chen Xinniang looked at Xiao Chen and bit her lip, unwilling to give up.
"If you don't want to die, then come back with us!" Xiao Chen said.
"Alright!" Chen Xinniang hesitated for a moment and nodded.
They continued to move forward through the passage that Chen Xinniang had passed through. After walking for about half the distance, Chen Xinniang stopped and said, "It's here. Look, there are a lot of bloodstains on the ground!"
Xiao Chen looked down and sure enough, there were bloodstains on the ground. It was very frightening.
"How did this mechanism open?" Xiao Chen asked.
"I don't know. There was a treasure chest there before. Qiao Enze touched it and triggered the mechanism, but then the treasure chest was swept under the ground." Chen Xinniang said, pointing to a place not far away.
Sure enough, there were traces of a chest on the ground. There was no dust, but there was dust everywhere.
Xiao Chen arrived near the treasure chest. He didn't see any mechanisms or anything special, so he was a little puzzled. At this time, Granny Nanshan, Ling'er, Song Huawu, and Xia Xibin were also helping him look for mechanisms nearby, but they didn't find anything.
Suddenly, from the ceiling of the passageway, a long iron block that was chained up by a chain suddenly appeared and smashed towards Xiao Chen and the others! The cross-section of the iron block was almost as wide as a passageway, and it was very long. There was no way to dodge, no way to dodge!
At this moment, Chen Xinniang was standing not too far away, looking at them with a smug smile on her face. There was a hint of ridicule and ridicule in her smile, as though she was saying, 'Are you all stupid?' Let you come back?
Clang! Granny Nanshan suddenly roared as the metal block came crashing down. She pushed with both hands, trying to push the metal block up. However, the metal block was made of some unknown material. It was extremely heavy. Even with all her strength, Granny Nanshan could only slow down the speed of the metal block's descent, making it slightly slower.
Granny Nanshan was stunned. She was a little shocked. She knew her own strength very well. This metal block didn't look very big, so how could it be so powerful?
"There's no need to resist. This is the power of the array formation!" Chen Xinniang laughed sinisterly. "All of you shall die! There was a path to heaven, but you refused to take it. Since you insisted on dying, I shall grant your wish. Go down and be buried with Clayden and the others! "
"So you were the one who caused their deaths!" Xiao Chen shouted angrily.
"That's right. It's too late now!" Following Chen Xinniang's words, the large piece of metal fell down and smashed into Xiao Chen and the others' bodies!
Although Granny Nanshan had blocked it, Xiao Chen and the others couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood when the metal block came crashing down. They were seriously injured and couldn't get out from under the metal block.
"Goodbye, everyone!" As Chen Xinniang spoke, she reached out and casually pressed a few times on the wall. Suddenly, a huge crack appeared on the ground under the metal block. Everyone fell down quickly, and the crack above them slowly closed up!
When the ground was completely closed up, the metal block rose up again and was completely hidden in the ceiling. Only the blood that Xiao Chen and the others had just spat out was left on the ground …
"Hmph, a bunch of idiots. I wanted to keep you guys as cannon fodder, but I didn't expect you to be so eager to die. I can only fulfill your wish!" Chen Xinniang sneered and quickly ran toward the hall …
Xiao Chen and the others fell rapidly in the darkness. Everyone was falling very fast, so it was difficult to see the situation below. Even Granny Nanshan couldn't sense it.
However, Xiao Chen's six senses were powerful, so he could still see that there was a pool below them! This made him heave a sigh of relief. Even if everyone was an expert and Xiao Chen was a cultivator, falling from such a high height would definitely be a problem. They would definitely be smashed to pieces!
Plop! Everyone fell into the pool. Apart from Xiao Chen, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, they were still alive!
The pool was a little deep, but everyone didn't care. They quickly swam to the shore. At that moment, a weak voice came from the shore. "Who …"
"Clayden?" Xiao Chen looked up. Indeed, there were a few people sitting not far from the shore of the pool. It was Clayden and the others!
Xiao Chen could see them clearly, but they couldn't see Xiao Chen and the others. Therefore, Xiao Chen said, "Clayden, right? Are you guys alright? "
"We're all injured. Are you guys injured too? We were tricked by that b * tch, Chen Xinniang! " Clayden was a little angry. "We were seriously injured and fell down. Fortunately, there was a pool and we were able to keep our lives. We almost died here!"
"Yeah, that Chen Xinniang is really despicable. If I can get out, I'll definitely tear her to pieces!" The one who spoke was Mo Xiangyin. "My son's strength is weak, and he's currently unconscious. I'm so angry!"
Xiao Chen looked over. Sure enough, Mo Zhiqiu was lying beside Mo Xiangyin. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive. Not far away, there was also a person lying beside Cheng Tianqiu. It was Qiao Enze. Since Mo Zhiqiu was unconscious, Qiao Enze wasn't any better.
"We were also tricked by Chen Xinniang!" Xiao Chen said. "When we came out of the passage, we saw Chen Xinniang stumbling out alone. I was suspicious and asked for your whereabouts. She said that you fell into a trap, so I asked her to lead us to look for you. In the end …"
"Ah, you came to look for us?" Clayden was a little excited. Sure enough, Xiao Chen wouldn't abandon him. However, that Chen Xinniang was too vicious. She seemed to be very familiar with some of the traps in the ancient ruins. Even if they were very strong, they still couldn't guard against her.
"Yes, we felt that there was something wrong with her, so we came to look for you. I didn't expect to fall into her trap." Xiao Chen secretly sighed. It was already too late when he discovered the problem. Otherwise, he could have instantly killed her with a fireball. However, when the iron block smashed down, he didn't have enough time to circulate his Yuan Qi.
"Young Hero Xiao, I really have to thank you! You can be considered a righteous person. If it was someone else, they would have wished for as few people as possible to divide the treasures. I didn't expect you to find us! "Clayden said with some emotion.
"That's right, Young Hero Xiao, this old man is also very grateful!" Cheng Tianqiu said sincerely. "May I know how old Young Hero Xiao Qiang is? Are you married?"
"…" Xiao Chen was a little speechless. What does this mean? However, he still said, "Hero Cheng, let's think about how to get out of here. Now is not the time to talk about these trivial things … The person beside you, is he dead?"
"He's still alive, but …" Cheng Tianqiu sighed. He originally thought that Qiao Enze was a good person. He had both status and background. If he married into the Cheng family, it would definitely bring great development to the Cheng family.
However, along the way to the ancient ruins, Cheng Tianqiu was already a little disappointed in him. From what he said, he only wanted Cheng Mengying to be his concubine, not his wife!
How could this Cheng Tianqiu agree? No matter what, the Cheng family was the number one family in Songning. Moreover, the Cheng family was still counting on the Qiao family for development. If Cheng Mengying was only Qiao Enze's concubine, how could the Cheng family receive the corresponding strong support?
Without strong support, wouldn't the Cheng family have no benefits? Moreover, this was not all. After entering the ancient ruins, Cheng Tianqiu discovered that this Qiao Enze was really greedy. He was even more greedy than him!
He was from an aristocratic family in the secular world. It was normal for him to be greedy for money. However, he was a Warrior Guild Law Enforcement Hall Deacon and a member of the Qiao family. Such a high level, yet he was still greedy for money …
Forget about the night-luminescent pearl. That was what Cheng Tianqiu also wanted. However, Cheng Tianqiu didn't dare to touch the private room after that. He had learned his lesson from the night-luminescent pearl. He was already very careful, but Qiao Enze still touched it!
If it weren't for his greed, would these people have fallen for Chen Xinniang's trick? Everyone dispersed. Chen Xinniang wasn't that easy to deal with.
"What is this place? Did you guys investigate before? "Xiao Chen asked.
"We didn't dare to investigate. It's pitch black here. We can't see anything. There's no light at all …" Cheng Tianqiu sighed. Following the sound, we held hands and moved forward to investigate. However, we discovered that there were many dried bones not far from us. We didn't dare to go any further. It was impossible to tell north from south. Who would dare to act blindly without thinking?
Xiao Chen nodded. Dried bones? Could it be that someone fell down and died here? Now that he thought about it, it was possible. It was pitch black here. Whether it was a martial artist or a martial artist, their perception of the martial path was very poor. Moreover, it was impossible for them to see in the dark.
If other martial artists fell down and couldn't find a way out, it was very likely that they would be trapped here and die! If he didn't come down, Clayden and the others would also have nowhere to go!
However, Xiao Chen couldn't ignore Clayden. No matter what, as long as his relationship with Shen Jingxuan existed, Xiao Chen could only care about him.
