Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2271 (Two Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy-One) Side

Li Pingrun stopped practicing, and the few of them walked into the passage and saw a wall.

"Are you going to perform some ritual to remove this wall that's blocking the passage?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Yes." Li Pingrun said.

Tie Jinjue, who was standing behind Li Pingrun holding a candle, walked back a little in order to make it easier for Li Pingrun to concentrate on the ritual. Tie Wandao also walked back with him.

Li Pingrun performed another spell, and the wall moved away by itself and moved to the side of the passage.

The three of them continued walking forward in the passage and saw the second door.

Tie Wandao then handed key number two to Tie Jinjue, asked Tie Jinjue to open the door, and asked Li Pingrun to perform the ritual.

After Li Pingrun performed the ritual, Tie Jinjue easily opened door number two.

The three continued walking into the passage and saw another wall.

Li Pingrun performed the magic again, and the wall moved away by itself and moved to the side of the passage.

They walked forward and saw the third door.

Li Pingrun performed a ritual and Tie Jinjue used the key to open the door.

In this way, they opened a door, the three of them walked forward, Li Pingrun used magic to turn a wall open, the three of them walked forward, they opened another door, and Li Pingrun used magic to turn a wall open again...

Just as Li Pingrun turned aside a wall again, the three of them continued walking and saw another door. Tie Wandao was really shocked, firstly because he didn't expect there was another door, and secondly because he saw a bulging skull on the door.

Tie Wandao stepped back, pretending that he was not shocked, and asked in a complaining tone: "Why is there another door here?! I don't have any other keys!"

Tie Jinjue felt a little troubled and thought: Everything was going smoothly just now, and the key in the box that the patriarch took was also easy to open the door, but now...how come there is one key missing?
Tie Jinjue asked Tie Wandao: "Chief, is there any other place in the box where I can put the key?"

Tie Wandao brought the box near the candle in Tie Jinjue's hand, letting the candlelight shine on the box, and said to Tie Jinjue: "Look, is there any other place to put the key?"

Tie Jinjue looked at the box from all angles and said to Tie Wandao, "Look at the side. Is there anything that can be pulled out of the side of the box? What if the last key is placed in a special position?"

Tie Wandao thought it made sense and looked carefully at each side of the box, but he didn't find anything that could be pulled out from any of the sides.

Tie Wandao said: "No! Could the key be built into this box? Otherwise, I'll break the box and see what happens?"

Tie Jin Jue Tie Wan Dao said: "Please wait for a moment, Chief. Ask him. Maybe he can tell whether there is a key inside by performing a magic trick."

Tie Wandao said "hmm" and asked Li Pingrun if he could use magic to test whether there was another key in the box.

When Tie Wandao said this to Li Pingrun, his tone was very unfriendly, as if he was saying, "It's really troublesome. There is actually another door and I can't find the key. It's really annoying. You'd better find another key quickly, otherwise get out!"

Li Pingrun also wanted to quickly find another key and open the door, but the tone of Tie Wandao's words made Li Pingrun feel uncomfortable. However, he had heard Tie Jinjue say before, "Ask him, maybe he can tell if there is a key inside through magic." He thought that this was the intention of Tie Jinjue, who had helped him out several times, so he said to Tie Wandao without hesitation, "Yes, clan leader, I'll try."
