Chapter 257 Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger
"This door is a good thing; it would be a shame to destroy it."
Cheng Feng silently opened his Boundless Demon Eyes.
The power of exile appeared at the center of the iron gate, and instantly, a square gap appeared in the gate, which even a bomb would have difficulty opening.
The space on the surface was revealed.
Chen Wenjin, Yang Xueli, and the other three women were already used to it; even the evil god statue in the Demon Kingdom, comparable to the Leshan Giant Buddha, had been pried off.
Not to mention this small iron gate.
"Let's go and see what those guys were up to here back then."
As he spoke, Cheng Feng led the way into the cut-out opening.
The four women followed closely behind.
After Cheng Feng and the others left, Wu Sansheng and the four people behind him suddenly realized what was happening.
One of them, unable to hide the shock in his expression, stepped forward and ran his hand over the edge of the hole that Cheng Feng had cut off.
Its cross-section is as smooth as a mirror, so smooth that it can even reflect a person's face clearly.
He stood up silently, looking at his eldest brother Wu Sansheng and his three other brothers, unsure of what to say.
"I doubt even the Buddha could have imagined that such an anomaly would appear in the world after his passing."
Mechanisms? Even... couldn't stop him!
Wu Sansheng chuckled self-deprecatingly. What right did he have to be a rival for someone like that in love?
If Cheng Feng were to truly be provoked into murderous intent, not only himself, but the entire Wu family would likely face the same fate.
"Third Brother, you mean?"
Hearing Wu Sansheng's mutterings, the other four were stunned; they seemed to have heard something terrifying.
"Forget what I just said, or no one can save you."
Realizing his slip of the tongue, Wu Sansheng quickly tried to correct himself.
At this moment, Cheng Feng and the four women were standing in front of a wall covered with various symbols.
The symbols on this wall are in small squares, and can be seen through the tiny gaps in the middle.
Each of these blocks is independent, and together they form an extremely intricate mechanism.
"It's another mechanical door, but this one should have been there originally in the ancient city of Tongjing."
These symbols are a very ancient form of hieroglyphics, and because they were used in a very limited area,
Even Cheng Feng had no clue.
"It's a pity we don't know how to open it, otherwise it would be so impressive to make it like a security door for a storage room at home."
Ah Xiang nodded in deep agreement with Huo Ling's words.
Their way of thinking is becoming more and more like Cheng Feng's; this is what they mean by "one is influenced by one's company."
"It's okay, we can move it back first and figure out how to open it slowly."
As he spoke, Cheng Feng was about to move the entire wall, along with the basin, away.
At this moment, the sounds coming from all around attracted Cheng Feng's attention. The dreamlike, boundless demonic eyes moved away from the wall.
He looked toward the corner.
"The gatekeeper is here."
As Cheng Feng finished speaking, the women shone their flashlights around them, and they saw black-haired snakes crawling out from the cracks in the surrounding stone walls.
They subtly surrounded the group, with a black-haired snake coiled up in front, poised to attack at any moment.
"Old Cheng, should you come or should we?"
Chen Wenjin took out his pistol and asked in a low voice.
"I'll leave it to you. I'll take responsibility for covering the losses."
Seeing that Chen Wenjin was eager to try, Cheng Feng abandoned his plan to set the snake on fire.
It's good for them to move around and experience the thrill of being surrounded by snakes; it can help them grow mentally.
"Pay attention to the angle when firing, so you don't get hurt by ricochets."
After giving his instructions, Chen Wenjin immediately pulled the trigger, firing two shots that cleaved the black snake in front of him in two.
The gunshot also sounded the horn for the Black-haired Serpent's attack.
They charged fearlessly toward the four women in front, instantly negating most of the advantage of their pistols.
Even though Chen Wenjin and Yang Xueli were excellent marksmen, they were quickly surrounded by the swarm of snakes.
The two women quickly dropped their pistols and drew daggers from their waists.
Huo Ling and A Xiang performed much worse; the two women fired quite a few shots, but failed to kill two snakes.
As the snakes drew closer, chaos ensued. Ah Xiang, suppressing her fear, gripped the short blade with trembling hands.
Chen Wenjin and Yang Xueli instinctively shielded the two women behind them, using their hands and feet to deflect the snake that was biting at them.
But they soon could no longer hold on, and a black-haired snake seized the opportunity to bare its fangs and bite Yang Xueli, who had no time to dodge.
Just then, a bright blue insect crashed into the snake's head at the last second.
Instantly, frost covered the snake's body, freezing it in place while it remained in an attacking posture.
"Game over! You were defeated by the snakes!"
As Cheng Feng spoke, a large number of Qiong Shenbing swarmed away from behind the four women.
A few minutes later, the temperature dropped significantly, causing the girls to shiver involuntarily.
"Honey, it's too cold in here, let's open the door and leave!"
Huo Ling snuggled closer to Cheng Feng, trying to get some warmth from him.
The black-haired snakes scattered across the ground maintained the same posture, just like the people they were parasitizing.
But this time they have no hope of revival; no life will remain beneath the ice of the God of Poverty.
"Okay, I'll open the door now."
After agreeing, Cheng Feng used the power of exile to completely cut off the front wall.
When Wu Sansheng and his group entered, they saw the ground covered with chilled black-haired snakes.
There is also a wall that has been completely opened.
"Is he really human? Could he be some kind of deity who has descended to earth to experience human life?"
One of them carefully kicked the frost-covered black-haired snake with his military boot.
Then the black-haired snake turned into ice shards and scattered.
The scene chilled them to the bone; to their knowledge, even the most advanced freezing equipment could never freeze an object to this extent.
"Three of them, this one is far too dangerous. I suggest we leave now."
It's best to avoid contact with such people; after all, serving a ruler is like serving a tiger.
Those who were with Wu Sansheng were his absolute confidants, which is why they dared to speak their minds without any reservations.
Wu Sansheng took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to turn and leave, and said:
"Keep moving forward. There's something important here. We must find it, even if it's dangerous."
The men exchanged glances, their expressions quickly hardening.
The saying goes, "A scholar will die for one who understands him." They followed Wu Sansheng all over the country and experienced many deadly ancient tombs.
They had saved each other's lives countless times before, and now Wu Sansheng was determined to continue.
They had all disregarded life and death.
At this moment, Cheng Feng and the four women were standing in a temple where sacrifices were being performed.
The temple is surrounded by black cliffs, and the ground is paved with bluestone bricks. There is an altar at the innermost part of the temple.
On the altar was one of Cheng Feng's targets for elimination on this trip: the Nine-Headed Hydra Cypress.
However, what is here is merely a statue of the nine-headed hydra cypress, standing on the altar of the temple.
It was worshipped as a totem in Gutongjing many years ago.
