Long Fei Ye's group of four walked forward. They had only taken a few steps when Han Yunxi whispered, "There's poison in front, but it's not very strong. It seems like someone has been poisoned, but it doesn't seem like it."
"Danger?" Long Fei Ye asked.
"No, it's not poisonous gas. It's not a big deal. It's the same poison that you were just poisoned with. Let's go and take a look. "Han Yunxi said seriously.
As they walked forward, they could faintly smell a foul stench.
"What's that smell?" Tang Li turned around. "Sister-in-law, is this smell not poisonous?"
"No. It smells a bit like the smell of a rotting corpse. "Han Yunxi was also puzzled. This smell was very strange, but the detoxification system did not remind her.
"Gu Beiyue, be careful in front." Long Fei Ye said.
About the distance of the stone room, Han Yunxi and the rest found a fist-sized hole on the right side of the secret passage. Gu Beiyue carefully poked his head out to take a look and immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
He hurriedly looked back. "Princess, it's not poison. There's a big situation inside!"
"What's going on? What did you see? "Han Yunxi was a little uneasy. She was afraid that something had happened to Gu and Ning Jing.
This secret passage was too narrow. It could only accommodate one person at a time. They could only see what was going on if Gu Beiyue continued to walk forward.
Gu Beiyue immediately used his fist to smash open the stone wall. Who knew that with this smash, the wall collapsed inwards. Inside was a small circular secret room. Light shone down from above. It turned out that this was the place where Gu and Bai Yanqing fell. It was indeed connected to this secret passage.
Everyone was shocked when they saw the scene inside.
Rather than calling it a secret room, it was more like a terrifying trap.
There were six large iron pillars in the sealed secret room. Countless scissors were tied to the pillars, and the blades were all facing outwards. It looked like a huge cactus.
The six large steel blades formed a circle in the circular secret room, maintaining the same rhythm and rotating at an extremely fast speed. In this way, the entire secret room, whether it was the area within the circle formed by the six iron pillars or the area outside the circle, was constantly swept by countless blades.
In other words, this secret chamber was a terrifying meat grinder. No matter what intruded, it would be instantly chopped into pieces.
"Look at the wall!" Tang Li exclaimed.
All three walls were stained with blood, and countless pieces of flesh were stuck to them. There were pieces of flesh of all sizes. It was obvious that some of the blood and flesh on the wall were fresh. In other words, someone had just been torn to pieces here!
Han Yunxi looked uncomfortable. She couldn't help but want to vomit several times. Tang Li, on the other hand, suddenly screamed and threw up on the side. He probably wouldn't dare to eat meat for a long time. Long Fei Ye and Gu Beiyue were very calm. They seriously looked around the secret room.
Han Yunxi resisted the nausea and once again activated the detoxification system to check carefully. She confirmed that the poison had come from these pieces of flesh. It was no wonder that the detoxification system couldn't make an accurate judgment. It could only determine that someone had been poisoned. This result made Han Yunxi's heart inexplicably panic.
She asked very seriously, "Long Fei Ye, are you sure that Gu, he … he has an immortal body?"
"Yes, you saw it with your own eyes just now." Long Fei Ye was very sure.
"But … but, someone was just torn to pieces here. That person was also poisoned. It's the same poison that you were poisoned with," Han Yunxi muttered.
Bai Yanqing's subordinates must have taken precautions. The only ones who wouldn't be poisoned were Long Fei Ye and the other three!
She was too afraid. Afraid that the person who was torn to pieces on the wall wasn't someone else, but Gu!
When she said that, Long Fei Ye and the other two looked at each other.
"He could even withstand the Profound Frost Sword's sword qi, what more these blades?" Long Fei Ye asked seriously.
At this time, Tang Li suddenly exclaimed, "Ning Jing!"
Ning Jing …
Just now, the poison gas came from the wall and spread throughout the entire area. If Ning Jing was nearby, it was very likely that she would also be poisoned!
Could it be that after Bai Yanqing used Ning Jing, he threw Ning Jing into this meat grinder secret room?
Tang Li looked at everyone in shock. Everyone didn't react for a moment. Tang Li suddenly shouted and was about to rush into the secret room.
Fortunately, Long Fei Ye blocked him with his body and pushed him to the opposite wall. Coldly, he said, "It's just a suspicion. Why are you in such a hurry to die?"
This was such a terrifying meat grinder. Once he broke in, death would happen in an instant. No one would be able to save him.
"Suspicion … It's just a suspicion …" Tang Li muttered to himself.
Han Yunxi stood beside Tang Li. She had to admit that she was also a little flustered. Whether it was Gu or Ning Jing, she couldn't accept this cruel reality.
She only hoped that this was just a misunderstanding. Misunderstanding!
Gu Beiyue threw out a few small flying knives. Although the flying knives were small, their strength was great. One by one, the six iron pillars were all knocked askew and hit the wall. As a result, the iron pillars stopped moving. This terrifying meat grinder array was also broken.
Gu Beiyue walked in carefully. Seeing that there were no traps, he turned around and nodded to Long Fei Ye. "It's okay."
Gu Beiyue and Long Fei Ye still remained calm and collected.
"Let's go up and see if it's connected to the hole that Gu fell from," Long Fei Ye said seriously.
If Gu and Bai Yanqing really fell here, how did they disappear? It was unlikely that Gu would let go of Bai Yanqing. Two people tied together in this secret room, how could they walk out?
Who was the person who was hanged? Where were Gu and Bai Yanqing?
They had to figure out these two questions.
Gu Beiyue immediately flew up. Long Fei Ye pressed a hand on Tang Li's shoulder to prevent him from doing anything stupid. Seeing Han Yunxi's frown and worried expression, he finally couldn't help but frown.
The only people who could make him worry were his younger brother Tang Li and his woman Han Yunxi. Of course, now there was another little girl.
He rubbed Han Yunxi's brows and said seriously, "Both of you, cheer up. Gu won't die. Bai Yanqing didn't kill the hostages before, so there's no reason for him to kill them at this juncture. "
Han Yunxi and Tang Li didn't answer. They couldn't understand. If it wasn't Gu and Ning Jing, then who was the one who was hanged after being poisoned?
Bai Yanqing wouldn't be so stupid and cruel as to poison his own subordinates to death!
Soon, Gu Beiyue came back. He said seriously, "It's this cave. That's right, it leads to the door of the stone chamber."
"Tang Li, go and see if there are any traps in those three walls," Long Fei Ye said seriously.
If the entrance to the secret chamber was only the one above their head, then the pieces of flesh on the wall were too strange. If there were other entrances, then it wouldn't be surprising.
Han Yunxi pulled herself together first. She patted Tang Li's shoulder and comforted him, "Tang Li, your brother is right. Bai Yanqing wouldn't kill the hostages at this juncture."
Tang Li exhaled deeply and strode into the secret chamber to check carefully. Gu Beiyue stood beside him and used a small golden knife to pry open the disgusting pieces of flesh on the wall.
Tang Li soon came to a conclusion. The three walls were completely sealed. If they weren't broken, they wouldn't be able to enter at all.
"Step back. Let me take a look at this wall," Tang Li said in a low voice.
The wall that was destroyed by Gu Beiyue had almost collapsed, but this didn't stop Tang Li from checking. He fumbled around for a while and finally came to a conclusion. "This is a movable door."
"The people who were hanged probably came in through this movable door," Han Yunxi said.
"Gu tied Bai Yanqing up like that. How did they get out of the secret chamber when they fell? How did they continue to move forward? " Bai Yanqing made a guess. "Bai Yanqing broke free from the thorny vines? His subordinates came to attack Gu and were thrown into the secret chamber to be hanged? "
"Bai Yanqing's subordinates couldn't have been poisoned, right?" Tang Li immediately retorted.
At this moment, Gu Beiyue, who had been examining the pieces of flesh, opened his mouth and said, "Look, what is this?"
His expression was very serious. He held a small golden knife and picked out a copper coin from a pile of sticky flesh. There was a red string tied to the copper coin.
"What is this?" Tang Li didn't understand. If it was a normal copper coin, there wouldn't be a red string tied to it. This should be a pendant.
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye recognized it at a glance. Han Yunxi strode forward and took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood off the copper coin. There was a flame imprint on the copper coin.
"It's Gu's!" She was very sure.
This was given to Gu by the Old Man Of Alchemy. Gu had returned it back at the Medicine Requesting Cave. Later on, when the Old Man Of Alchemy went to the Tang Sect, he asked the Shadow Guard to return it to Gu.
At the time, Gu wanted to give it to her, but she rejected him.
Did this copper coin fall from Gu's body, or …
Han Yunxi was looking up when Gu Beiyue picked out a piece of red silk from the pile of flesh. Gu Beiyue's brows were heavy as he said seriously, "This material is top-grade heavenly cicada silk. It's warm in the winter and cool in the summer. I've only seen it on Seventh Young Master."
Bai Yanqing's subordinates were all dressed in black. Where did this red silk come from? Moreover, how could Bai Yanqing's subordinates have such a luxurious item? Even if they had money, they might not be able to get it!
This red material was the material of Gu's demonic red robes!
Han Yunxi and the others fell silent. Even Long Fei Ye, who had always been at odds with Gu, revealed a worried expression.
"Could it be that the clothes and copper coins fell from the top during the fight with Bai Yanqing?" Han Yun suddenly asked.
However, even she herself found it laughable when she said it. Long Fei Ye and the others didn't answer her either.
Long Fei Ye began to doubt his own guess.
Gu had gone to great lengths to trap Bai Yanqing. How could he let go so easily? Gu wasn't stupid! This was Bai Yanqing's territory. Once he let go, he would be at a disadvantage. Moreover, he still had to trap Bai Yanqing to buy time for them to rescue the hostages!
Those thorny vines grew from Gu's arm and absorbed Gu's blood. Just like Gu, they couldn't be burned, poisoned, or cut off. Bai Yanqing wouldn't be able to break free either!
Unless something happened to Gu!
