That being said, it's not so easy to do; it all takes time, and that's exactly what we lack right now.

Because they only have ten minutes. If they can't find a new exit within those ten minutes, everyone will die here.

They had long since disregarded their own lives, but the King is different. The King is the hope of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty and absolutely cannot stay here with them.

Several people focused their attention on the chair, walking intently toward the iron chair. But before they could get close, mechanisms shot out from both sides and the top of the chair.

"Shhhhhh!"

A barrage of sharp arrows shot out from within. Fortunately, Yuan Feng was alert, and none of the arrows hit him.

The others, however, fell directly into pools of blood because they couldn't dodge in time, without even a chance to fight back.

Mengyin stepped forward to try to treat them, but found that they had stopped breathing, and their originally rosy lips had gradually turned purple.

He said in surprise, "Be careful, the arrows shot from this mechanism are coated with deadly poison. Even a slight scratch can be fatal."

Although he didn't know what kind of poison was on the arrow, the brother in his arms only had a minor scratch on his finger and no other external injuries.

Even so, he lost his life in just a few seconds, leaving him no chance to receive treatment.

Arrows continued to shoot from the chair, but fortunately they were all aimed in one direction. As the crowd dispersed to both sides, the chair stopped shooting arrows.

Yuan Feng successfully approached the chair, but dared not touch it easily, and could only observe it with his naked eyes.

This chair is made of black iron, and the blades on it are extremely sharp, gleaming with a cold light. There are many swords on the back of the chair, which are integrated with the chair and become part of it.

Mysterious and ancient dragons are carved on both sides of the chair. The chair is entirely black iron in color, which makes it look particularly ordinary compared to those magnificent chairs.

However, the chilling aura emanating from its entire body makes it a force to be reckoned with.

Yuan Feng was almost certain that all the swords that were fused with this chair had drunk human blood, which was why they had become so murderous.

He looked around and noticed a large, emerald-green gem on the top of the chair, where the mechanism had just been launched.

He shouted to the people around him about what he had observed, "I think I've found the mechanism, but I'm not sure if it is. Someone come and take a look."

Mengyin immediately rushed forward and stood on the left. He saw the emerald green gem, which was the spot where the mechanism had just been launched.

He wasn't sure if this was the place at all. "If it's not this place, it will definitely trigger the mechanism again, making everyone around stay away to avoid getting hurt."

Yuan Feng shouted to everyone, "Move to the sides. Do not make any rash moves without our orders."

Upon hearing his words, everyone quickly moved to either side, not daring to waste a single second, because they no longer had much time to hesitate.

The space was shrinking rapidly, and the mechanisms above their heads were only about a meter away from their heads. At this rate, they would be crushed into mincemeat in two or three minutes.

They originally planned to look for other agencies, but time was too tight, and they couldn't do that.

Meng Yin turned to Yang Xia and said, "Your Majesty, the situation is urgent. I'm about to activate this mechanism. What do you think?"

Yang Xia glanced at it briefly, then nodded slightly.

Having obtained the king's consent, Mengyin no longer hesitated and, with a determination to risk everything, pressed the mechanism in his hand.

With a sharp "crack," everyone froze in place. They clearly felt their center of gravity begin to shift, and the ground beneath their feet swayed precariously, making it impossible to maintain their balance.

Yang Xia could barely stand. He watched as his surroundings changed at an extremely rapid pace, as if even space itself was being distorted. He struggled to open his eyes, trying to make out his surroundings.

The previously oppressive space above gradually opened up, revealing a completely new space. The area above, which had felt oppressive, was now vast and empty, with an endless expanse of blue sky visible above.

But the blue sky was very far away from them. It was as if they were in a deep cave, and could only look at the azure sky from afar, unable to touch it.

The feeling of imbalance slowly disappeared, and what appeared before them was a huge and strangely shaped thing.

Yuan Feng looked at the strange thing and subconsciously took several steps back. At the same time, he quickly reminded everyone, "Don't go near this weird thing. It might be another trap."

When he first came in, he wasn't so wary, but after spending some time in the cave and experiencing various things, he felt that the place was full of traps and dared not take another step.

Upon hearing his warning, the people around him quickly dispersed to both sides, afraid of being implicated in the situation.

Yang Xia examined the strange object and found that it was somewhat similar to some things he had seen before, like a giant spaceship that appeared in a movie.

The enormous spaceship was placed in the very center, like a giant Earth wearing a hat, its massive hull lying there quietly.

Meng Yin followed Yang Xia and was about to step forward to check when he suddenly noticed a golden light rising around him.

The pale golden light, like the afterglow of the setting sun, emitted a soft glow, yet it completely blocked their path.

He reached out and touched the golden light beside him, only to find that it had formed an incredibly tough barrier. No matter how hard he tried to push forward, he couldn't move an inch.

He beckoned to Yuan Feng with a curious look on his face: "Come and take a look, this seems to be a barrier, I can't get through at all."

Yuan Feng tried to touch it, just like he had seen, but he couldn't get any closer. Moreover, as time passed, the golden light seemed to grow increasingly intense, blocking them all out.

He always felt that this strange thing was full of danger and that he had to find a way out, so he didn't stay there for long.

Yang Xia activated the system. Following the system prompts, he only needed to place his handprint on the nearby stone to enter this place. The item placed here was the core component he had been searching for—the one for controlling the weather. With this, his previous experiments would be a complete success.

Yang Xia was extremely excited and instructed the group, "This is what we've been looking for. With it, our Great Zhou Dynasty will surely reach new heights. I'll go first, and you can follow me. Let's carry this back together."

This thing is huge, and moving it back won't be easy. But considering it's a core component of the weather controller, even if we have to disassemble it, we'll have to take it all back piece by piece.

This process may be somewhat tortuous and take some time, but for Yang Xia, time is the one thing he has no shortage of.

After Yang Xia successfully entered, the people behind him followed suit.

Yuan Feng touched the things on it with a look of surprise; these were things he had never seen before.

Yang Xia said to them, "The original road is blocked, and with such a large load, the original road is definitely not feasible. We need to find a way to get up from above, which will shorten the time and distance and avoid some unnecessary trouble."

After all, they had already traversed a path fraught with difficulties, but it wasn't entirely hopeless. As long as they were willing to try, they were sure they could find a new way out.

Yuan Feng looked at the bottomless abyss, then looked up at the boundless blue sky. They were now in an awkward position, caught between a rock and a hard place.

They wanted to go down, but couldn't find a suitable place; they wanted to go up, and with their light-footed skills, going up by themselves might not be a problem, but to bring such a huge thing up with them was simply wishful thinking.

Even the person with the best lightness skill cannot do it.

Looking at the enormous object before him, Mengyin pondered that to move it out, they would need assistance to ascend smoothly. Once they reached land, their companions could begin the transport.

Or you could simply break this thing down into several parts, so that each part can share the weight and they can all move down smoothly.

But before that, we need to find a way to get the people trapped inside out of the house.

Yang Xia saw that they were searching for mechanisms everywhere, but he didn't pay too much attention. After all, the danger had passed, and it was only a matter of time before they got out of here.

He carefully inspected the core component and found no damage. He also noticed that the screws on it seemed to be removable.

If it really comes to the worst, the only option is to disassemble these parts into smaller pieces, which will then be carried out piece by piece by the people here. He must remember exactly what the thing looked like before, so that he can reassemble it back into its original form after it's been moved out.

This process was both difficult and complicated, and he was unwilling to do it unless he had no other choice.

Yang Xia was resting to the side when he heard someone next to him shout, "Come and take a look, isn't the emerald green gemstone inlaid on this the same as the one on that chair?"

Everyone couldn't help but crowd around to take a look, and there was a fist-sized gem embedded inside, making it incredibly tempting.

Such a large gemstone is priceless and probably worth a lot of money, but in this place, no one dares to covet it.

Even if this thing is very precious, it belongs to this cave. Touching or taking it casually could bring them deadly danger.

So, for the sake of his own life, even if he really wanted the gem, he could only think about it and wouldn't actually take any action. After all, compared to life, money is nothing; life is the most important thing.

Yuan Feng looked at the gem and was also puzzled. He said, "It is indeed the same as the gem on the chair, but it is larger and greener. I just don't know whether pressing this mechanism will lead us to a way out or a way out."

This place is fraught with traps and obstacles; they must carefully consider every step they take.

Because if they are not careful, they could perish here. They have come this far with great difficulty, and they must not let their carelessness lead everyone into an abyss of no return.

“I think if we press this gem, we can get out of here smoothly. There are no other mechanisms here. We’ve reached the very center and obtained what we wanted, so let’s give it a try.”

Mengyin stepped forward from the crowd and began to encourage Yuanfeng.

Anyway, they're just wasting their time sitting here waiting to die; the longer they stay, the greater the danger might become.

It's better to make plans sooner rather than later; at least we can't let our guard down before we get out of here.

Yuan Feng understood Meng Yin's meaning, but he still didn't dare to make a decision easily. He said, "Let's look around some more. If we really can't find the mechanism or the way out, we'll press this gem again and see if we can get out of here."

It's no wonder he's so cautious. They've been through so much along the way, and many brothers have been sacrificed. They simply can't withstand any more of this kind of torment.

Yang Xia recognized the mechanism at a glance and said, "This green gem is the key to going up. Don't hesitate any longer. Once you're ready, we'll leave from here."

They've already wasted too much time here; there's no reason for them to waste any more time at this crucial moment.

Upon hearing this, everyone pressed the green gem. Sure enough, the moment the gem was pressed, the place where they were standing slowly rose, taking them to the top of the mountain.

Standing atop this cave, one can see countless beautiful views, but this also means that it will take them a long time to move their belongings down from here.

This thing looks huge, but it's not actually heavy. They have enough manpower here. It's just that this thing is too big, and the road down the mountain is narrow and small. Going down from here will not be an easy task.

Yang Xia could only order his men to cut down trees in front to widen a new road for them, while the men behind carried the goods. Once they were on the airship, they would be able to return to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Yuan Feng glanced at the gem behind him and said with some regret, "Such a large gem could be exchanged for so much food and troops. It's a pity we can't take it with us. What a shame."

"Don't have such inappropriate thoughts. Sometimes, wealth and luxury are not something we can afford."

Yang Xia advised him not to have any improper thoughts. This gem was not so simple. If they really took it, they might not be able to leave this place.

Yuan Feng realized his thoughts were too naive, so he immediately looked away and said, "I know, I'll get rid of those inappropriate thoughts in time. Besides, I was just looking, I didn't intend to take anything away." (End of Chapter)
