”...”this person actually had the time to joke around. He Yi pondered for a moment and said, “It should be the latter!”
She gently shook her head and said, “Both!”
He Yi was stunned. Although she did not get the answer she wanted, she admired his honesty.
Why was there a jade wall in this underground palace? Firstly, it was for the sake of beauty, to show off the wealth of Queen Loulan. Secondly, it was also to prevent theft. After all, most tomb raiders were greedy for money.
If a hard object was used to chisel the wall, it would shake the entire wall and trigger the mechanism. At that time, it was likely that everyone would be doomed!
After going around the jade wall, the scenery in front of them suddenly darkened. It was like stepping into the Netherworld from the celestial realm. All the magnificence disappeared and was replaced by barren mountains and rugged mountain roads, the water flow was weak — they had actually walked into the underground river passage in the middle of the mountain!
The terrain here was steep and full of moss. The road was rough and slippery, and one would fall if they were not careful. Fortunately, everyone was wearing anti-skid hiking shoes and had undergone professional training. They walked carefully and did not have any objections.
However, at this moment, an accident happened.
“Ah!”A scream was heard. Someone slipped. It was a woman’s voice.
There were only a few women in the team. There were only three people — he yi, Ji Shanshan, and Claire!
However, none of them slipped. The only one who slipped was the woman who disguised herself as a mercenary. She was the sex partner who was gently brought into the desert.
At this moment, the woman’s scream undoubtedly revealed her gender, but everyone looked at her with not much surprise, only indifference. Obviously, everyone knew that she was disguised as a woman, so they did not find it strange.
Gentle stopped and looked back at the woman. Then, she ordered Claire, “Help her up. Remember to take care of her!”
“Yes, Mr. Wen!”Claire accepted the order and went forward to help the woman who disguised as a mercenary. Then, she led her forward. Although Claire did not dare to Disobey Gentle’s order, the way she looked at the woman was full of disdain and disgust, as if she looked down on her. “Watch your step. If you really can’t keep up, you can walk at the back!”
The woman could only swallow her anger at Claire’s reprimand. She did not hear her words anymore and just quietly followed behind Claire.
He Yi judged from this that this woman was indeed not very doted on. At most, she was just a sexual partner. However, the woman did not dare to say anything in the face of Claire’s reprimand. Why did she have a deep hatred for he yi? It was really strange.
The journey was smooth, and he yi finally could not hold it in anymore. “Could it be that all the dangers were solved by you last time!”
He said gently and confidently, “Not solved, but learned how to avoid the risks!”
In other words, the path he led them on was not dangerous. The people who had been to the underground palace in the past had gone astray because they could not find the right path. They either fell into traps or were fed to poisonous insects and lost their lives.
And they were able to walk to this place unscathed, of course, thanks to gentle guidance.
“Soon!”Dong Chang looked at the small compass in his hand, looking a little excited. “We are finally approaching the Queen’s Coffin!”
Gentle admonishment said, “The stone bridge ahead is extremely slippery and has no railings. If you fall down, you will never have a chance to climb up again! You must be careful!”
“Yes, thank you for your reminder, Mr. Wen!”Everyone paid great attention to the gentle reminder.
After a turn, the scene in front of them suddenly brightened up. Those steep rocks and mountain peaks were all thrown behind them. In front of them was actually a paradise filled with flowers. Flowers were everywhere, and the greenery was desolate. Accompanied by the delicate flowing water, it was simply like a fairyland.
If it wasn’t for the fact that they didn’t see the sun all year round, this place could be a tourist attraction.
He Yi couldn’t help but slightly flutter her eyelashes, and said in surprise, “Why are there fresh flowers and green grass in the crypt? !”
“This is the resurrection Lily, the only flower that doesn’t need sunlight! Also... Those aren’t green grass, but a kind of moss, but they just look like grass!”explained he yi gently to her.
“So Beautiful!”He Yi couldn’t help but stop in her tracks. She focused her gaze and looked around. She felt that there was scenery everywhere. “The person who built this underground palace is really an amazing architectural genius. He fused the man-made and nature into one, and it’s a masterful work.”
