Chapter 1503: If I Don’t See the Xiang King’s Secret Treasure, I Will Not Die in Peace

Even Xu Jingxin and Fuuma Jianwu were looking at Ye Feng curiously.

They were already very familiar with Ye Feng, but they had never heard of him being a grave robber before. Why was he so experienced?

“I’m self-taught.”

Ye Feng gave a perfunctory reply, before turning his attention to the rooster.

Although everyone was not satisfied with his answer, they did not say anything else and stared at the rooster.

“Gu gu gu…”

The rooster had already taken more than ten steps, but it was still walking vigorously without any abnormalities.

“It seems that we were worrying too much. There shouldn’t be any danger here.” Ah Can immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

However, just as he finished speaking, the rooster suddenly stepped on a stone brick.

Logically speaking, the weight of a chicken was only about a few pounds, and its weight could be ignored.

However, the moment the chicken stepped on the stone brick, something happened.

The stone brick suddenly flipped, and the chicken immediately fell down and disappeared.

The stone brick immediately returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.

Everyone was stunned by this scene.

“D*mn, isn’t this too terrifying?” Ah Can shivered, he looked at Ye Feng blankly.

Lan Xingyue was so scared that her pretty face turned pale.

If Ye Feng did not pull her back, she would have fallen down.

“Did you see that? There are traps everywhere. If we were not careful, we might die here. There are nine of us who came in. I don’t want to leave without a single person. Do you understand?” Ye Feng looked at everyone seriously.

“Understood.”

Everyone answered in unison.

It could be seen that everyone was frightened by the scene just now. Everyone’s expression was not too good.

Ye Feng could only open his mouth to ease the atmosphere. “But don’t be too afraid, as long as everyone listens to my orders, I guarantee that there will be no casualties.”

Although they had his promise, everyone’s expressions did not improve at all.

These traps were too hidden. As long as there was a mistake, they might die without a burial place.

Under such circ.u.mstances, no one’s guarantee was reliable.

“Master… Ye Feng, I think we should go back, this is too scary, I haven’t lived enough.” Fuuma Jianwu was the first to retreat.

Before Ye Feng could speak, Lan Xingyue was the first to object. “We are already here, if we don’t go in and explore, wouldn’t we have wasted our time?”

Ye Feng glanced at her deeply. “Didn’t you say that you were not interested in such a place?”

An unnatural expression flashed across Lan Xingyue’s face. She laughed awkwardly and said, “I wasn’t interested in it before, but now I suddenly feel that it’s quite interesting.”

Ye Feng revealed a smile. “Since you think it’s interesting, let’s go and scout the way for everyone.”

“Ah?” Lan Xingyue panicked. “There are many traps here. If we’re not careful, we might be doomed.”

“You want to continue exploring, but you’re afraid of danger. What do you mean? Do you want others to risk their lives to scout the way and then you follow behind them?” Ye Feng mercilessly exposed her thoughts.

“I… I didn’t say that. I just think…” Lan Xingyue was speechless.

“Don’t worry. I’ve already said that as long as you follow my orders, I guarantee that you won’t be in any danger.”

Ye Feng said as he pointed at the tunnel. “Look, in this tunnel, there are three stone bricks in each row. At least one of the three bricks has no mechanism. If the two of us held hands and slowly walked over, no matter who was in danger, the other person could quickly save them…”

He told Lan Xingyue about his plan.

Actually, he was worried about leaving Lan Xingyue with Xu Jingxin and the others.

At least for now, her ident.i.ty was still very suspicious.

He could only be at ease if such a time bomb was under his nose at all times.

Since he had already said so much, Lan Xingyue knew that she could not avoid it, so she could only nod helplessly. “Alright then.”

“You walk in front, I’ll stay behind to ensure your safety. You only need to use your feet to gently test it every time.” Ye Feng held her hand and taught her how to probe.

Lan Xingyue listened patiently and had no choice but to agree.

The two of them held hands and prepared to enter the tunnel.

“Ye Feng, be careful.” Xu Jingxin reminded him worriedly.

“Don’t worry, I won’t rest in peace until I see the Xiang King’s secret treasure.” Ye Feng turned around and joked.

“What do you mean by rest in peace? What nonsense are you talking about?” Fuuma Jianwu berated him unhappily.

“You’re quite superst.i.tious. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.” Ye Feng gave them a rea.s.suring smile before walking forward with Lan Xingyue.

Lan Xingyue first used her feet to test the three bricks in the first row. The left and right bricks had a flip mechanism, and only the one in the middle was solid.

The two of them stepped on the brick at the same time.

The limestone brick was about 80 meters long and 50 centimeters wide. Although it was enough for two people to stand close to each other, the distance was very close. They could even feel each other’s body temperature.

Lan Xingyue felt a little awkward and could not help but twist her body.

“Don’t move. Don’t you know how big your b.u.t.t is? Are you trying to squeeze me into a trap?” Ye Feng could not help but scold.

Lan Xingyue’s pretty face instantly turned red.

If she was teased by him like this outside, she would definitely fall out with him on the spot.

But now that her life was on the line, she couldn’t care less about this. She started to test the second row of green stone bricks.

This time, the two bricks on the left and middle had traps, while the one on the right was solid.

The two of them jumped onto the stone brick one after another.

Just like that, the two of them continued to probe and soon arrived at the place where the rooster had fallen.

The rooster had used its life to get rid of one wrong answer for them. It saved them the trouble of testing this brick. They only needed to get rid of one wrong answer from the other two bricks.

Xu Jingxin, Fuuma Jianwu, Ah Can, and the others were all sweating for the two of them.

Their expressions were even more serious than the two pathfinders.

Fortunately, there were no dangers along the way.

This tunnel was about twenty meters long, and as Ye Feng and Lan Xingyue gained more experience, they walked faster and faster.

Soon, they reached the end.

However, the last row of bricks was slightly larger than the other bricks. It was at least two meters wide, and it would be difficult to cross it in one step.

Lan Xingyue had no choice but to continue testing the bricks.

The two bricks on the left and the middle started to sway with a light touch of the tip of her foot. It was obvious that there was a flip mechanism.

Lan Xingyue smiled. According to her previous experience, the right piece was solid.

Therefore, she did not probe further and stepped on it directly.
