Chapter 832 - If It’s Not Dead, I’ll Make Another Stab
Chapter 832 If It’s Not Dead, I’ll Make Another Stab
The three cannonballs were fired at the same time. Perhaps it was because they were too powerful, but they could still feel the burning sensation coming from the ground even though they were so far away.
The flames soared to the sky and reached the clouds. The sky that was filled with torrential rain that night suddenly became a bright moon with few stars. The rain stopped.
The water monkey that was directly blasted into pieces by the cannonballs were also completely destroyed. Those guys that were fighting over food on the other side also disappeared completely. Even the tree trunks that had just been submerged were suddenly devoid of any water stains.
There was still a thick layer of withered leaves on the ground. Occasionally, there would be some green sprouts emerging from the ground.
The green grass that had never been taken care of before was even more lush and green. It represented the vitality of this place.
Who would have thought that this place had just experienced such an attack?
Some things had remained unchanged for thousands of years, while some things had developed faster and faster in the changing times.
Perhaps the ancestors of a thousand years ago would never have thought that after a thousand years of human progress, they would be able to use these cold weapons so easily. Bombs were used to set off fireworks in ancient times. No one would have thought that someone would be able to break the formation here.
If they didn’t have these things today, no matter how many people came, they would be eaten.
Fortunately, they only stepped into this land after a thousand years, and only then did they conquer everything here step by step.
“It’s okay.”
“Yeah, it’s okay. I just don’t know what will be waiting for us after tomorrow.”
Everyone climbed down from the trees one after another. It felt good to be on solid ground, so they slowly walked forward.
When they arrived at the water monkeys that they had hung with iron wires before, they saw that there was only a small gecko-like animal carcass that had turned completely black under each iron wire.
It was just that it was completely black and they could not see it clearly.
However, the moment the iron wire moved, they were all turned into ashes. Even if they wanted to bring some back to study, they could not do so.
“There shouldn’t be anything going on tonight. Everyone, take a break and get ready.”
Everyone slowly recovered from the shock from just now. Those who had changed their clothes, those who had built a fire, and those who were preparing to hunt at the side. Of course, all of them had been through hundreds of battles, so they didn’t feel that there was anything disgusting that couldn’t be eaten.
Meanwhile, Yan Kuan led Shen Xiaoxiao to the place where the explosion had just occurred, the place where the giant water monkey had stayed.
“Do you really think there should be something there?”
“This place is already close to the ancient tomb. At most, it’s only 500 meters away. This should be the last wave of things to stop us. In other words, this mountain entry array is equivalent to all of us breaking it.”
“Ancient tomb? Isn’t it called a secret fund?”
Shen Xiaoxiao asked Yan Kuan in amusement. This time, Yan Kuan said to Shen Xiaoxiao in a serious manner,”This must be an ancient tomb. Only graveyards use this kind of array to stop people from robbing tombs.”
“Whose tomb is that?”
“Who knows? Maybe we’ll find something after we enter.”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at her wrist, but there was still no signal. She changed the topic and said to Yan Kuan,”I wonder how the two children are doing. Dark 1 and the others are probably already on their way.” “Yes, the last signal flare appeared yesterday afternoon. We haven’t seen it until today. That means that they started setting off yesterday.”
“Who is the man behind Dark 1?”
Yan Kuan looked at Shen Xiaoxiao and said, “It should be related to Old Master Shen. Old Master Shen and Lin Jiahui must have made a deal.”
“If that’s the case, the two of them are playing a huge game of chess.”
“Yeah, they started to set up the game decades ago. It’s crazy. It seems that the things in the ancient tomb are really unusual.”
“Alright, let’s not talk about it anymore. I just want to know how the children are doing now. They won’t be caught by the Dark 1, right?”
“Even if you don’t believe 19, you have to believe in the little minds of the two of us. We definitely can’t be described as ordinary people.”
“Alright, since we are here, we can only do this.”
The two of them chatted as they walked. It had already been half an hour since they arrived at the place where the water monkey exploded. Their surroundings were charred black, and the air was still filled with the smell of burnt gunpowder.
A huge pit had been blasted to the side, and many trees had fallen in all directions. With such a degree of destruction, no matter how powerful the water monkey was, it would not be able to escape.
“What are you doing?”
Yan Kuan looked at Shen Xiaoxiao bending over to search carefully on the ground and asked curiously.
“Looking for something. Didn’t you say you were looking for something?” Yan Kuan smiled and shook his head helplessly. “Why are you becoming more and more silly now? We brought so many equipment. It’s impossible not to use them.”
After Yan Kuan finished speaking, he took out a square-shaped mini robot from his bag. The robot had arms and legs, the size of an adult’s palm. Most importantly, its hand was a circular iron ring-like equipment.
“It will help us find what we need.”
“You are really well-equipped. Do I have it in my bag?” “Of course you have it in your bag too. It’s just that the things in your bag will only be useful after entering the ancient tomb.”
“Oh, that’s good.”
Shen Xiaoxiao and Yan Kuan did not speak anymore. They watched the robot searching around. After about 10 minutes, the robot let out a tinkling sound. The two of them hurriedly walked over.
Sure enough, in the middle of the round pit, there was an eight-trigram wheel.
Yan Kuan used a pair of tweezers to pack up the eight-trigram wheel. Then, he placed it in a mahogany box and said to Shen Xiaoxiao, “It should be this thing.”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the eight trigrams wheel. The shape was very ordinary, but other than some pointers, the only difference was that it was carved with a Suoyin flower.
“You can see this ghost of a flower everywhere.”
“Alright, let’s go. We’ll leave after we find what we want.”
“This is a mahogany box? There are so many things in your bag. You’ve thought of everything.” Yan Kuan smiled and did not reply. He had prepared for half a year to enter the mountain. How could he not have everything?
Yan Kuan and Shen Xiaoxiao were just about to pack up their things and head back when the robot made another ‘ding ding ding’ sound.
Could it be that there was something else?
The two of them looked at each other and slowly walked towards the place near the east side of the pit.
The damage here was minimal. The grass was thick and the robot was parked at the side.
The two of them walked over to take a look. They did not expect to see him here. It was Pei Li.
Pei Li should have been injured by the explosion. He was covered in blood and his clothes were tattered.
They did not expect him to appear in front of them like this.
“He’s not dead yet. The robot lit up a red light, which means that he still has vital signs.”
“If he’s not dead, I’ll stab him again.”
After Shen Xiaoxiao finished her words, she took the blade in her hand and prepared to stab by Pei Li.
However, Yan Kuan suddenly stopped her just as he was about to attack. Then, he pointed at his hand and said, “Look, what is he holding in his hand?”
