Chapter 291 The Fatal Reason That Stopped Their Advancement

The passage leading to the bottom was completely pitch black, and the guard behind him took out a torch and handed the prepared torch to the man.

There was light in front of her eyes, illuminating the long underground passage, and Lu Qingqing followed behind Shangguan Jinglan. In this place where she couldn't see and feel the outside world, her sense of touch seemed to become extra sensitive, so she could feel it very clearly. until he held her hand tightly.

She looked down and couldn't help losing her mind.

She didn't look up until the man's footsteps stopped suddenly, and she saw many pitch-black bats entangled on the surrounding walls!
Shangguan Jinglan said in a deep voice, "Bats are afraid of fire, they dare not approach easily! Be careful yourself!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Everyone continued to move forward, and the process was quiet and weird, but no one dared to make a sound, for fear of causing strange things.

After half an hour's journey, everyone finally saw the long-lost light!

Moreover, the light here is not as simple as one or two beams, but beams of light penetrating through many holes, intersecting and intersecting randomly.

Looking at these lights, Lu Qingqing always felt that there was something strange, but she couldn't tell the specifics.

Someone walked over excitedly, "My lord, here are..."

"do not move!"

Lu Qingqing spoke urgently, but it was too late.

With a few "stabs—" sharp arrows flew out from the place with the beam of light that he passed, and pierced straight into his body!
The man fell down.

Lu Qingqing was shocked, a flash of unbearable feeling flashed in her heart, but she didn't have time to be sentimental, she quickly said to others: "There are such sharp arrows at the end of this light, everyone backs away, so we can't touch any beam!"

Everyone's expressions changed suddenly, and they all looked at the man beside her.

Shangguan Jinglan's brows were tightly furrowed, "My concubine is right, everyone retreats."

He gave her a solemn and complicated look, "How do you know?"

Actually, Lu Qingqing didn't know how to explain this question.

She felt strange when she saw these light beams just now, because she had seen similar ones in modern times before—infrared alarms.

At that time, the family was a wealthy family. Once my father wanted to auction a piece of art worth hundreds of millions. Before the auction, it was placed in a room full of infrared rays. Someone wanted to come in and steal it, and was caught immediately.

And the difference between these light beams is that they are not used to call the police, but will shoot arrows out of the hole whenever they encounter shadows!

I have to say that the person who designed this mechanism is really a genius.

But for them now, it has undoubtedly become a fatal reason to stop them from moving forward.

"I... guessed it." Lu Qingqing said.

Her eyes flashed, and she quickly changed the topic, "Unless we find a mechanism to crack it, we should have no way to pass. If we insist on breaking through, we will only be shot to death by random arrows."

When everyone heard her words, their faces changed.

They don't even want to believe a woman's lies, but this person is their concubine, and even the prince affirmed what she said just now, which shows that she really understands the way of this mechanism.

The most important thing is that someone has died before...

So the current situation is - they have finally found the exact location of the treasure, and they are only one step away from success, but they are stuck here, telling them that if they go any further, they will lose their lives in vain!

How to make people happy?

Everyone's expressions were solemn, and Han Lu frowned.

Shangguan Jinglan ordered everyone to retreat, "Go and find out, is there any mechanism on the way just now?"
