Xiao Chen took a closer look. This time, Chen Xinniang did not seem to be throwing the small flags randomly like before. Instead, she was throwing the formation flags into the formation in front of the stone door one by one in a systematic manner.
"Elder Heaven Ancestor, can she break the formation by herself?" Xiao Chen asked curiously.
"It looks like it's possible. What she knows is definitely not the superficial knowledge she had before. She's actually proficient in some formation techniques! Although she's not particularly proficient, she does know a thing or two! From the direction in which she threw the flags, it can be seen that she's constantly weakening the formation's energy. In this way, she can completely break the formation by herself! "Elder Heaven Ancestor said.
No wonder! Xiao Chen said. This Chen Xinniang dared to directly bring them into the underground palace, leaving her alone. Presumably, she has a way to break the formation by herself. However, it's more complicated and laborious. If she could get some free labor, she naturally wouldn't be happy.
Previously, she had separated everyone, killed one group, and left the other group alive. This was to leave some free labor! Based on Chen Xinniang's vicious nature, even if they didn't go looking for Clayden, she would still find an opportunity to kill them after they helped her break the formation.
Mo Xiangyin's eyes were bloodshot. He didn't know whether his son was alive or dead. He also didn't know whether he could survive and leave the ruins. Therefore, when he saw his enemy, Chen Xinniang, he wanted to rush out and fight her!
However, Xiao Chen waved his hand, telling him not to be impulsive. He mouthed a hint, "Wait until she breaks the formation first!"
Xiao Chen certainly wouldn't let go of such free labor. This Chen Xinniang wanted to use them as laborers. How could Xiao Chen not have the same idea?
Finally, a loud bang came from the formation in front of the stone door. Chen Xinniang was so scared that she hurriedly dodged. Obviously, the formation had been broken by her!
On the other side, Mo Xiangyin, who was standing beside Xiao Chen, had already reached the end of his patience. He abandoned Qiao Enze and rushed out, shouting, "Chen Xinniang, you b * tch, hand over your life!"
Chen Xinniang was stunned for a moment. Her footsteps slowed down. As a result, the energy from the explosion of the formation directly affected her, causing her to fly out with a "bang". She spat out a mouthful of blood and fell heavily to the ground!
"You … why aren't you dead?!" Chen Xinniang turned her head and stared at Mo Xiangyin and the others in shock. It would have been fine if it was just Mo Xiangyin, but Granny Nanshan, Xiao Qiang, and the others had all walked out of the passageway and were staring at her coldly!
"Are you surprised? Chen Xinniang, I didn't expect it to be you who schemed to kill us! " Xiao Chen had a good impression of her before. At the very least, he thought she was better than the other person Clayden had found. But now, it seemed that she was a bad person.
"I really didn't expect you to still be alive!" Chen Xinniang decided to shed all pretense of cordiality. "However, you can't kill me. You still need my help to break the formation. Otherwise, you won't be able to enter or leave. Without me, you will die!"
"Mo Xiangyin, kill her!" Xiao Chen said coldly.
"Heh! Alright! " Mo Xiangyin pulled out his sword and stabbed it into Chen Xinniang's chest. She had been seriously injured from breaking the formation, so she didn't even have time to counterattack or dodge. She had already become a ghost under Mo Xiangyin's sword.
Chen Xinniang still had a look of disbelief on her face before she died! She didn't believe that Xiao Qiang had really asked someone to kill her. Without her, how would they get out? How would they break the formation? How was that possible? She had died with everlasting regret.
"That's right, Young Hero Xiao. Without Chen Xinniang, would we be able to get out …" Cheng Tianqiu suddenly remembered the key problem. Chen Xinniang was right. They didn't know how to break the formation!
"Don't you understand how you got up here? Is there a need for her? "Xiao Chen said coldly.
"That's right. Young Hero Xiao is also proficient in these things. No wonder. Then we really don't need this vicious woman anymore! It's good that she's dead, so that she won't harm us again! " Cheng Tianqiu nodded in relief as he thought about how Xiao Qiang had led them out of the underground palace without a hitch.
Mo Xiangyin was infuriated. After he had killed someone, he regretted it a little. However, after hearing Xiao Qiang's words, he calmed down. "Young Hero Xiao, don't worry. The few of us will follow your lead. When we find a good treasure, you can pick it first. As for the rest, you can decide how you want to split it. We won't have any complaints! Although I, Mo Xiangyin, am an arrogant person, I know how to repay kindness. Killing Chen Xinniang will make me very happy! "
"That's right. We will listen to Young Hero Xiao!" Clayden hurriedly agreed. In his opinion, his great-grandson-in-law would not mistreat him!
"We don't need our spiritual jades. We will give them to Young Hero Xiao!" Grandma Nanshan said.
"We, the Supernatural Investigation Bureau, also support Young Hero Xiao!" Song Huawu said.
"Haha, I naturally have nothing to say …" Cheng Tianqiu wanted Xiao Qiang to be his grandson-in-law, so he naturally wouldn't say anything. Furthermore, with so many people supporting Xiao Qiang, there was no point in declaring it himself.
"Alright. Xia Xibin, bring Chen Xinniang's backpack over. I have a use for it!" Since everyone had decided, there were naturally no objections. Xiao Chen looked at the broken stone door and walked in. The Elder Heaven Ancestor hadn't said anything about danger here.
"No problem!" Xia Xibin picked up Chen Xinniang's backpack and carried it on his back.
Everyone followed Xiao Chen inside. Grandma Nanshan was a little puzzled and puzzled. "Young Hero Xiao, we have already passed through two halls. Why haven't we seen any treasures?"
"If I'm not wrong, this relic should be the warehouse of a big sect or family in ancient times. There should have been something in the two halls that we passed through before, but it was taken away by the people who came here first!" Xiao Chen thought for a moment and said, "If I'm not wrong, we aren't the only ones who have been to these ruins. Several groups of people have come before, and some even died in the abyss. As for Chen Xinniang, she should have obtained some information from the people who came here before. That's why she knows about these ruins so well."
"So that's how it is. In other words, there should be treasures in those two halls, but the treasures have already been taken away. Is that so?" Ling 'er asked after listening.
"Yes, of course, it's just a guess. Otherwise, it's impossible for there to be nothing!" Xiao Chen said. "After these formations are broken, they have an automatic recovery effect. After a period of time, they will automatically accumulate energy and return to their previous state. Therefore, even if they have been broken before, they still need to be broken again before we come here!"
"If all the formations have been broken, then wouldn't our trip be in vain?" Clayden asked with some disappointment.
"That's right, but I hope that's not the case," Xiao Chen said.
"Yeah, I hope that's not the case!" Mo Xiangyin also nodded.
After they passed through the passage, they saw another hall in front of them. However, this hall was different from the previous one. There were several boxes and shelves on both sides of the hall. Everyone was pleasantly surprised and quickly walked over to take a look.
Xiao Chen didn't stop them because there didn't seem to be any mechanism here. The mechanism in the passage probably wasn't caused by Qiao Enze looking at the treasure box, but by Chen Xinniang. Otherwise, why would Xiao Chen fall down the second time?
Sure enough, when everyone opened the lids of the boxes and the doors of the shelves, nothing out of the ordinary happened. However, to everyone's disappointment, there was nothing here. The boxes were empty, and the shelves were also empty.
"It seems that someone has taken it away!" Cheng Tianqiu said disappointedly. "Could it be that these ancient ruins are simply a lie and are empty?"
"It's hard to say." Xiao Chen combined Chen Xinniang's situation with the white bones he saw in the underground palace. He had already determined that someone had been here, so it wasn't too surprising that there was nothing here.
In this hall, there was still a stone door, and in front of the stone door was another formation. However, this time, Xiao Chen didn't let everyone attack it. Instead, he let Xia Xibin take Chen Xinniang's backpack.
Xiao Chen looked inside and saw a bag of formation flags and a map. The map depicted the situation of the ruins. To Xiao Chen's relief, the map only drew up to this point. In front of the stone door, there were a few question marks.
It was probably because the people who came here before didn't break the formation to open the stone door! On the side, there were some papers that recorded Chen Xinniang's analysis on how to break the stone door.
This wasn't of much use to Xiao Chen. It seemed that Chen Xinniang deliberately used everyone as cannon fodder, but she didn't want to die here! She really deserved to be unlucky.
"Elder Heaven Ancestor, how do I break this formation?" Xiao Chen asked shamelessly.
"I said do it." Elder Heaven Ancestor didn't talk nonsense. Sometimes, he really didn't know how to deal with such a disciple.
"Everyone, stay away from the side. I'm going to break the formation!" Xiao Chen said in a very arrogant manner.
"You can break the formation by yourself? That's too amazing. Young Master Qiang is so powerful! "Xia Xibin flattered. He was used to flattering Yang Tan, so it was natural for him to do so.
Mo Xiangyin glanced at Xia Xibin and thought to himself. This Supernatural Investigation Bureau is also flattering Xiao Qiang, really … But thinking about it, this Xiao Qiang is really amazing. Everyone was able to escape because of him.
Xiao Chen followed Elder Heaven Ancestor's instructions and slowly threw the formation flags into the formation in front of the stone door. The direction, order, and timing of the formation flags were very particular. If there was a single mistake, the whole thing would be useless.
However, with a super expert like Elder Heaven Ancestor around, Xiao Chen only had to do as he was told. Soon, a loud bang came from the stone door, and it slowly rose …
The formation was broken!
"Young Hero Xiao Qiang is really amazing!" Clayden said sincerely. This kind of person was actually Shen Jingxuan's boyfriend. He didn't know why her great-granddaughter had such good taste.
Cheng Tianqiu's eyes also lit up. If this kind of person could have a relationship with the Cheng family, it would be easy for the Cheng family to gain a foothold in Songning!
