At this time, Ah Man was nestled in Song Qingshu's arms. Her pretty face was flushed, making her look even more beautiful. Wu Chen's heart raced when he saw her, and he sighed inwardly. Although Hua Zheng was also a beauty, she was still lacking compared to the beautiful and graceful girl in front of him. It could only be said that there was always a loss when it came to gains.
Worried that looking at her would disturb his state of mind, Wu Chen quickly calmed himself down and said to Vallrazi, "In that case, lead the way."
Vallrazi did not get up. Instead, he glared at Wu Sun. "It's time to remove the restriction on my body. What did you do to me?"
He had learned good martial arts in the Central Plains, so he naturally knew how to hit acupoints. However, he had not been hit just now, yet he could not move at all. It was really incredible.
Wu Chen also looked at Wu Sun. "Great Shaman, in my opinion, why don't you remove the restriction first?"
Wu Sun frowned and said in a deep voice, "You can remove it, but you must hand over the poison needles in your body." Although the other party's martial arts were good, he and the Shuiyue Sect were here, so there was no need to worry. However, the poison needles were too insidious. If he suddenly shot them at close range, he might not be able to defend himself.
It had not been easy for him to force the broken needles out of his body. He did not want to have a taste of this again.
Vallrazi was naturally unwilling, but he did not need his consent. Wu Chen gave a look, and some Mongolian soldiers searched his body and found the poison needles.
After a series of traps just now, only five Mongolian soldiers were still alive.
Soon, the soldiers searched his body. Looking at the poison needles as thin as a cow's hair, Wu Sun's face twitched. These needles had caused him so much trouble during this period of time. He was so angry that he slammed his palm against the needles and broke them into pieces. Only then did he completely relax.
The restriction on Vallrazi's body was removed, and he led the way with a gloomy face. Wu Chen did not dare to completely trust him, so he let him walk in the middle of the group. His subordinates would scout ahead, and he only needed to point the way.
As expected of someone who had been playing tricks in this maze for many years, Vallrazi was indeed familiar with the way. The group turned here and there, but they did not encounter any more traps.
Finally, he led the group to a staircase and said, "There are no treasures in other parts of the maze. If there really are treasures, they should be at the end of this staircase."
"Why is it so dark?" Wo Chen frowned, sucking in a breath of cold air as he stared at the dark tunnel before him. Every step was made from giant rocks, and the whole thing spiraled upwards. Everyone was clearly holding torches, but the air around them seemed to be a little strange. The light could not reach far, and could only illuminate a few inches around them. Any further and the light would be greatly weakened.
He was worried that there was a trap on the wall, so he cautiously raised the torch and came to the wall. Only then did he see that there was nothing unusual on the wall.
"I don't know either. This place has been like this since I found it," Vallrazi replied.
Old Man Wu Sun frowned. "Since there might be treasures here, why have you not taken them out after so many years?"
With this said, everyone looked at Varrazi in the middle with vigilance. Varrazi replied in a muffled voice, "This staircase is very long and I haven't reached the end even after checking several times. Then again, I only want Ya Li Xian, everything else is just floating clouds to me."
Wu Sun was stunned at first, but then he broke out in laughter, "I never thought that you would be such an affectionate person. Ha, ha, ha, relax, as long as you make a great merit this time, the great khan will give you the Tie Yan Tribe and Ya Li Xian will be yours."
Although he said this, he was sneering inside. Once I find the treasure, I'll take care of you, so how could I give Ya Li Xian to you?
Thinking of Ya Li Xian's mature and plump body, he thought that if it wasn't for you that night, I would have already obtained what I wanted. His gaze landed on Ah Man at the side. Seeing that she was holding hands with the Shui Yue Great Master, inseparable and intimate, he felt as if he had eaten shit. This beautiful mother and daughter pair, had actually been taken by another man before him. 135 Chinese
Hearing his words, Ah Man's face turned red with anger. Just as she was about to explode, she remembered that Song Qingshu had fallen out with the other side because of her. She didn't want to make things difficult for him, so she endured it.
A hint of excitement flashed across Varrazi's face. He glanced greedily at Aman's face before he turned around and began to lead the way. Wo Chen gave a signal with his eyes, and two Mongolian soldiers approached him from both sides. It was obvious that they were guarding him against any mishaps.
They also arranged for people to carve marks on the stone steps that everyone had walked on, so that they wouldn't be able to find the way back.
After walking for a while, the group finally understood what Varrazi meant when he said the staircase was very long. The group walked for the time it took for an incense stick to burn. Logically speaking, most of the stairs should have reached the end by now, but looking around, there was still an endless staircase extending into the darkness. It was as if everyone was walking on the road to hell.
"What's going on?" Wu Chen grabbed Varrazi and asked.
Varrazi replied, "Didn't I say it before? I've come here several times to check, but I've never reached the end."
"What's the longest you've walked in the past?" Wu Chen asked.
"About an hour," Varrazi replied.
Everyone frowned when they heard this. An hour was not long, but it was not short either. They had no choice but to continue exploring deeper. After all, the purpose of their trip was to find the treasure.
After walking for another incense stick, their surroundings were still pitch-black. The wide stone steps spread out and disappeared into the darkness ahead. The repeated darkness gave off an inexplicably strange and oppressive feeling.
Ah Man subconsciously shrank into Song Qingshu's arms. "Uncle, I'm scared."
Song Qingshu could feel her delicate body trembling slightly. He thought to himself, 'This girl is really defenseless against me. Does she think of me as her godfather?'
"It's okay, I'm here." Even though he was complaining in his heart, he still had to comfort her.
"We can't go on like this," Wu Chen said in a deep voice. "Great Shaman, can you use your psychic power to check out the surroundings and see what's going on?"
Wu Sun nodded. He was a little scared to keep walking like this. He sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and spread out his psychic power …
Who knew that not long after, he would open his eyes in shock. "Strange, the environment here is too strange. My psychic power can only extend up to ten feet. Any further and it seems like it's being absorbed by something."
Beside him, Song Qingshu had the same feeling. In fact, he had already used his Qi to investigate, but he could not find anything at all. Could it be that these stone steps were made of a special material that could absorb psychic power and Qi?
After thinking for a while, he approached the wall with a torch and pressed his palm on it. As expected, his conjecture was confirmed. He told everyone what he had found, and they were all shocked.
"This place is so strange. Why don't we go back the way we came?" someone suggested.
However, Wu Chen immediately rejected the idea. "No, we've sacrificed so much to get here. We can't just go back like this!" Others might be fine after going back, but he, the commander-in-chief, had not achieved anything. Instead, he had lost many soldiers and generals. The Great Khan might not kill him for the sake of the Hongjira clan, but his future would be over, and there would be no hope of marrying the princess.
