Chapter 6985 The Female Stall Owner Who Finds a Way Out of Despair
"need any help?"

Just as Olivia was in despair, thinking she was doomed, a voice suddenly rang in her ears.

A ray of hope tore through the gloomy sky and illuminated her withered heart.

Turning to look beside me, I saw a somewhat familiar figure standing quietly at the entrance of the passage.

"It's you?"

Olivia remembered the other person; it was clearly the same wealthy customer from before who had bought many parts and asked her about the location of the puppet graveyard.

Unexpectedly, the two met again in such an environment.

Not right.

A terrible thought rose in Olivia's mind, and a hint of wariness flashed in her eyes as she looked at Tang Zhen.

The secret room she discovered was unknown to outsiders, so why did Tang Zhen appear in this place?

This can only mean one thing: Tang Zhen was secretly following and tracking them, and he was very likely in cahoots with those explorers.

Even if they aren't accomplices, they probably have ulterior motives.

Realizing this possibility, Olivia's newly ignited hope was once again ruthlessly shattered.

"Don't worry, I'm not with them, nor am I a bad person."

Seeing the other person's worried expression, Tang Zhen still offered an explanation, since it wouldn't take much effort.

With a flick of his finger, the chains binding Olivia snapped instantly without making a sound.

Regaining her freedom filled Olivia with joy; no longer being controlled by others gave her hope of turning the tide.

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

Olivia bowed her thanks, then turned and rushed into the secret room without hesitation, eager to see what had happened.

Discovering this secret room filled her with joy, which she considered a stroke of luck.

Cracking this secret chamber exhausted her, leaving her constantly on edge, and even forcing her to cut back on food and clothing.

Just to save some money to buy experimental materials.

As a cultivator, he was not much better off than a beggar, and even three meals a day became a problem.

If this were to get out, I doubt many people would believe it.

Suffering and hardship are nothing to worry about; what I fear most is missing out on opportunities and being unable to realize my dreams.

The unexpected opening of the secret room door signifies that an opportunity is right in front of her, and Olivia will not easily let go of any chance to seize it.

In any case, we must gain some benefits so that our efforts are not in vain.

Although Olivia was grateful to Tang Zhen, she still remained somewhat wary of him.

Not to mention, Tang Zhen's presence here likely indicates his involvement in the secret chamber robbery.

The two were rivals, not to mention that in Olivia's eyes, everyone else was a robber.

They came here to seize Olivia's opportunity, so how could they possibly feel close to her?

At that moment, Olivia overlooked something important.

According to her analysis and deduction, at least ten codes need to be solved to open the secret room.

Now, the door to this secret room has opened automatically, which is obviously suspicious.

Olivia had no idea that the opening of the secret room door was actually related to Tang Zhen, who had saved her.

She also misunderstood something: Tang Zhen hadn't followed her, but had detected a trace of unusual energy fluctuations.

This slight energy fluctuation was related to Olivia's actions and happened to be sensed by Tang Zhen, who was passing by.

When he arrived at the scene, he discovered that it was the female stall owner he had seen before, and he was in a dangerous situation because she had been followed and ambushed.

Tang Zhen remotely controlled the opening of the secret room door, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Faced with the opportunity within the secret chamber, the explorers had no time to consider anything else; they all wanted to seize the benefits immediately. Even Olivia, among others, had no time to dwell on the humiliation, and was instead tied up and tossed aside.

If Tang Zhen hadn't intervened, Olivia would likely have met her end, and possibly even been tortured to death.

However, opening a secret room does not mean that entering will bring benefits; on the contrary, it may lead to deadly dangers.

Olivia rushed to the front of the secret chamber and immediately smelled the stench of blood, accompanied by a scream.

At this moment, a figure rushed out of the secret chamber, covered in blood, with several rune-inscribed short spears stuck in his body.

Despite suffering such a severe injury, the man continued to run desperately, his face filled with terror and despair.

Olivia could see clearly that the blood-soaked figure was the tall, thin man who had just humiliated and tied her up.

Enemies meeting are bound to be furious. Seeing her opponent rushing towards the door of the secret room, Olivia didn't hesitate to take out her weapon for self-defense.

This is an alchemical musket that fires large-sized shotgun shells, capable of killing a medium-sized earth dragon.

"You damned bastard, get out of here right now, or I'll tear you to pieces!"

The tall, thin explorer roared in a hoarse voice, trying to drive away the female stall owner who was blocking the exit.

Faced with such a threat, Olivia simply sneered and made no attempt to dodge.

"You're the one who deserves to die, you beast!"

With the gun pointed at the tall, thin explorer, Olivia gritted her teeth and pulled the trigger.

At this moment, the tall, thin man was filled with regret, hating himself for not killing Olivia.

He tried to dodge, but he had no strength left; his severe injuries made his movements sluggish.

As flames shot out, I felt my face burning the next second, and then everything went black.

A headless corpse collapsed at the entrance of the secret chamber, twitched a few times, and then fell silent.

Olivia's body trembled slightly, then she gritted her teeth and quickly squatted down to search the corpse for treasure.

Olivia didn't know what was inside the secret room, but judging from the tall, thin man's appearance, it must be extremely dangerous and deadly.

Those explorers went in and haven't come out yet; their situation is likely dire.
Olivia wanted the villains dead so she could guard the secrets of the secret chamber and enjoy the hidden opportunities within.

Then Tang Zhen's image appeared in her mind, followed by a soft sigh.

Keeping the secret is almost impossible unless all the adventurers are killed, and Tang Zhen is killed along with them.

Putting aside the fact that she saved her life, Tang Zhen and the other adventurers were no weaker than her in real strength, and some were even stronger.

Unless all of these people involved die a violent death, Olivia alone cannot truly keep the secret.

Is this secret room truly not meant for me?
While feeling resentful, Olivia suddenly realized that she seemed to have been too greedy.

Greed is not a bad thing, but you should not gamble with your life, otherwise you will be done with it once you lose.

Forget the past, the days of hardship without resources, and the countless hardships endured for spiritual practice.

However, excessive greed can prevent people from making accurate judgments and lead them to engage in greedy and risky behaviors.

In a short period of time, Olivia had already made up her mind to do her best in everything, but never to overestimate her abilities.

Especially in this enclosed room, extra caution is required.

Seize any advantage you can have, and give up and avoid it if you can't resist. Never let greed drive you.

Then, from the depths of the secret chamber, another pitiful scream came, as if some monster had been severely injured.

Olivia was startled. Had the explorers gained the upper hand and successfully defeated the monster?

If that's the case, I must act immediately to see if I can launch an attack on the explorers.

Olivia would rather gain nothing than have those bastards get the opportunity; that would be the worst possible outcome.

With a fierce grit of her teeth, Olivia, like an enraged little beast, rushed into the secret room.

Tang Zhen suddenly appeared and followed leisurely.
