The secret chamber of national destiny, the design of the ancestral home, you're building the Z

The process of this life-or-death resurrection match in the Great Xia Dynasty was far more complicated than anyone had initially imagined.

From overwhelming pessimism to the hope brought by the Forbidden Woman, and then to the crushing defeat of Koeko... the situation has turned around several times, making the audience's heart rise and fall like a stormy sea.

But when they saw that Koeko had narrowly escaped death and found a secret room, everyone felt that this secret room battle should come to an end.

Although Zhang Qilin's design for the secret room, the Zhang Family Ancient Building, was remarkable, it ultimately could not stop the exploration of the Sakura Kingdom.

"Hahaha, Zhou-san, sorry, we're going to win! It seems luck is finally on our side! How about it? Ready to fulfill our 'little promise'? The global audience is watching with bated breath!" Yamamoto Ichiro was incredibly smug.

On the other hand, some of the people on the Great Xia side with weak mental fortitude fainted on the spot.

Zhou Xingbang's face was deathly pale, and his body swayed.

He was filled with resentment. Was this revival match really going to end in such a humiliating way?

Seeing Zhou Xingbang's pale face, Yamamoto Ichiro became even more smug. "Zhou-san, you've been wise your whole life, but who would have thought that in the end... you'd be dragged down by such an arrogant brat, ruining your reputation and disgracing your country! It's truly... pathetic, lamentable!"

He didn't forget to precisely target Zhang Qilin, intending to sow seeds of resentment within the Great Xia: "If you ask me, the shame your Great Xia is suffering today is not due to a lack of war, but rather a man-made disaster! It's all because of this boy's arrogance and ignorance, which has dragged the nation down!"

This provocation was indeed effective. Some of the Great Xia representatives who already had doubts about Zhang Qilin's radical style now looked at him with undisguised resentment and despair, as if he had truly become the culprit who caused all of this.

This attitude pleased Yamamoto Ichiro greatly.

"Hahaha, even if Zhang Qilin doesn't die, the spittle of the remaining Great Xia people will drown him. Kid, this is what happens when you mess with me, trying to be cocky."

However, when he looked at Zhang Qilin, he saw that Zhang Qilin was looking at him like he was an idiot.

"Damn it, why is this kid still so calm? He's faking it, he must be faking it!" Seeing Zhang Qilin's calm demeanor, Yamamoto Ichiro felt extremely uneasy.

"Boy, stop pretending. Your tricks have run their course. If you kneel down now, weep and beg for forgiveness from me and the Sakura Kingdom, perhaps... I might have mercy on you and plead for your life after your Great Xia is destroyed, sparing your worthless existence." Yamamoto Ichiro said sinisterly.

Zhang Qilin wanted to laugh when he heard this.

He had no idea where this guy got his confidence from.

"If you're mentally ill, go get it treated. Stop daydreaming all day. Also, we have a Chinese idiom in our Great Xia Dynasty: 'Extreme joy begets sorrow.' I suggest you go and learn about it!" Zhang Qilin said.

"You...you're so stubborn!" Yamamoto Ichiro was speechless, his face turning pale. His ominous premonition grew stronger, and he dared not say anything more. He quickly turned all his attention back to the live broadcast.

Koeko woke up.

She shook her head, feeling extremely dizzy. Although she had been trying to protect herself, she had still been bumped a few times, and her body felt like it was falling apart.

However, after checking, she found no fatal injuries.

"Thankfully, it's not a big problem. But where am I? Wasn't I caught in a vortex? Where is this? Could this be the hiding place of the dragon-patterned stone box?"

Thinking of this, Koeko became excited.

She quickly and carefully looked around.

The stone chamber is not large, about thirty square meters, and is irregularly oval in shape.

What's most striking is that the surrounding rock walls aren't ordinary grayish-brown stones, but a warm, translucent emerald green. When spotlights shine on them, they even produce a slight translucency, shimmering and glowing, as if you were inside a giant jadeite boulder—beautiful and eerie.

In the corner, there were several rusty iron boxes.

Koeko rushed over.

Upon opening the box, it turned out to be not a dragon-patterned stone box at all, but some iron ore.

"It seems my guess was right. The Zhang family is forging those iron figurines here for the surrounding jade. But what exactly is the hand inside those figurines? Never mind, finding the dragon-patterned stone box is the most important thing. Once we find it, this secret chamber will be solved, and the Zhang family's affairs will have nothing to do with me!"

With that in mind, Koeko began her search again.

On the other side, he found another stone chamber of similar size, containing an abandoned small blast furnace for iron smelting, with coal slag and rotten wood scattered around it.

But apart from that, there was no trace of the dragon-patterned stone box.

"Impossible! Could there be other secret rooms here?"

Unwilling to give up, Koeko began her search again.

However, the more you look for something new, the less appealing it becomes.

Not only did she not find the dragon-patterned stone box, but this place really did seem to be a secret room with no exit, surrounded by stones. She was starting to wonder how she had gotten in.

"This, this is impossible! If I was able to get here, it means there must be an exit!" Koeko had conquered many more secret rooms.

But I've never seen such a strange place before.

She rushed to the spot where she had fallen and looked up. She saw a crack about the size of a fist, from which water was dripping.

"Could there be a hidden door up here?"

But it doesn't look like it at all.

Later, having no other choice, she painstakingly moved those iron boxes over, along with some relatively neat iron ore, stacked them together, and then climbed up to tap the cracks on top with stones.

But no muffled sound came from above.

The rock wall has a continuous and natural texture, and it doesn't look like there are any hidden doors at all. It is a complete and thick natural rock layer!

"What on earth is going on? Could it be that the stones here can heal after they've cracked? There must be a way out, there must be!" Koeko was really going crazy.

She began frantically searching through the two stone chambers.

Almost every explorer is a master of solving puzzles, but after searching for a long time and panting heavily, Koheko found that there was no trace of any puzzles at all.

It's as if this place is a natural cave, with no exit and no entrance.

It's as if she walked through the wall to get here.

Yamamoto Ichiro, who had just been gloating, could no longer laugh.

He stared at the scene in disbelief, not knowing what to say.

Because they witnessed Koeko falling from above, but now there's not even a gap or any mechanism, which is very strange.

Zhou Xingbang and the others were also completely bewildered, none of them understanding what was going on.
