Not too far away, an enormous tiger stood by the side of the road with its teeth bared.

"How can there be such a big tiger?"

Gong Jue said with a trembling voice. He had never encountered such a terrifying thing in his life.

The tiger in front of him was as tall as two people, and its feet seemed to be sufficient for one person to stand on top of it. Moreover, one of its teeth seemed to be the size of a fist of his …

His eyes were green, and the "King" word on his forehead was different from Qian Li's understanding of tigers from before.

He looked like a clean but aloof ruler.

"Qian Li, you retreat. If I can't defeat it later, I'm afraid it will hurt you."

It had been a very long time since Qian Li had felt the sensation of being protected by others.

This feeling was somewhat unfamiliar, but it was enough to make one feel infatuated.

Perhaps Gong Jue's words gave Qian Li courage or perhaps it was because she wasn't really afraid of this thing in the first place, and when she saw it, Qian Li felt as if all the blood in her body had already started to boil.

She looked carefully at the tiger before her, then opened her mouth to explain, "I'm not leaving."

"No, if you stay here, I will be distracted."

Qian Li shook her head, "No, I mean, we don't even need to go. You don't have to fight it. "

"Hmm?"

"This tiger is only carved on the stone wall. It isn't real."

"What?"

Gong Jue didn't seem to be able to accept the fact that he had actually lost his sense of propriety because of the mural. He turned his head and looked again, but when he looked again, he still felt that the tiger in front of him was real.

With such a lifelike appearance, he really couldn't see any parts that looked fake.

"I thought that my eyes would blink when I saw it just now, and the color would change too. Qian Li, stop joking around, let's go."

"That's because the Night Pearls in your hand and the surrounding light from the flames have combined and reflected off its eyes. Do you not believe that you can keep the Night Pearls and give it a try?"

Hearing this, Gong Jue really kept it. Without the light of the Night Pearl, the tiger in front of him had become much dimmer.

When the light dimmed, Qian Li no longer had to hide her excitement. She stepped forward, step by step towards the totem in front of her, she was impatient to touch it.

"No." "However, the way forward was still blocked by Gong Jue very quickly," Qian Li, I still feel that this thing is very strange, and it might actually be alive. Just look at its lifelike appearance. It makes one's hair stand on end. "

After saying that, without waiting for Qian Li's opinion, Gong Jue continued, "Let's go on another path, I do not believe that there is only such a path in this large underground palace."

"Why would the Third Prince believe this?" Qian Li was anxious in her heart, but she also knew that she couldn't display it too clearly, so she could only patiently explain, "Moreover, look. After walking for so long, this place has a lot of branches. There isn't such a big tiger in this world, so, don't scare yourself, Third Prince.

Hearing this, although Gong Jue did not really agree with it, he did not want to be looked down upon by the girls that he admired, so he could only stiffly nod his head.

Qian Li kept on getting closer and closer, until she finally reached the bottom of the tiger. She was not considered short, but under the tiger, she suddenly became extremely small.

"It's really a mural. It looks so much like it, it's really scary."

"Is it scary?" Qian Li asked. She only felt a sense of security.

She stretched out her hand and fondled Da Hu fondly. Suddenly, her eyes became hot, as if tears were about to fall out of them.

Her heart suddenly thumped, and Qian Li fell to the ground. Faintly, she felt as if she had seen a very bloody scene, but the scene flashed past extremely quickly, and before she could even see what was inside, she had already disappeared.

"Qian Li. What's the matter with you? "

"It's nothing, it's just that my heart hurt a little just now."

Gong Jue supported Qian Li, "I feel that this place is a little gloomy, it's strange, let's quickly go."

"But …"

"But what? But what do you mean by that? Let's talk about it after we get out of here, okay?"

Qian Li nodded, not because she gave in, but because she felt that it was better not to let Gong Jue know about some things.

The two of them passed through the big tiger's toes, after running for a while. A few more forks in the road in front of him had stopped him.

The shape of this place looked similar to the ones outside Gong Ming's base, but when Qian Li tried, she found that there was no wind at all.

Thus, no matter which one of them were to enter, it would be a dead end.

A few big words were written on a nearby stone wall. Qian Li was immediately shocked when she saw it.

"Qian Li. What was written on it? Why is your face so different from before? "

"It says above …" "Life is death, and death is life."

"What do you mean?"

"There are a total of nine checkpoints here, and I believe they are all prepared for us outsiders. It is said that out of the nine crossroads, one of them only needs to pass through three checkpoints to find a way out. However, if you can't find this checkpoint, then there are eight other checkpoints. He had to go through nine different trials. The door was called the Gate of Life and Death. This meant that no matter which door he went through, he would only have a slim chance of survival. It's just that those lucky enough to die with a little effort, those unlucky enough to die with a lot of effort. "

"Then, is there no other choice? Weren't we able to see a lot of routes before? Perhaps, we can go back and search for it. "

Qian Li's eyes flashed with a trace of light. She naturally had a way, but only by leaving these places would she be able to prevent Gong Jue from entering again.

Thus … She had no choice but to risk leading him through the doors of the three checkpoints.

If she died, that would be fine, she believed in Murong Yan's hatred, the Li Mo siblings would do it for her, but if she lived, that would be good, just that, on her body that was covered with secrets, there seemed to be one more person.

Forget it. It didn't matter if there were too many secrets. It didn't matter if there was one more.

After thinking it through, Qian Li immediately shook her head, "No, the upper ups said, no matter which way we came from previously, we would still be able to come here. And, we were lucky to be following the path of our own people just now. "So it didn't hurt."

Qian Li carefully looked at the records, on which were written the tests that she might meet, but there was also an extremely important thing.

That was …

If one went through three obstacles, one would leave the city, and the other would … At the center of this underground palace, in the main hall …

Qian Li squinted her eyes, she firmly believed that there was something she needed, so she needed to ensure the safety of the person in front of her, and at the same time, not let him discover this secret.

"In that case, we have no choice but to brace ourselves and advance forward."

Qian Li nodded, "Then Your Highness, please choose a path, Qian Li will follow you."

Gong Jue waved his hand, "You have some understanding towards these things, after all.

Qian Li looked very troubled, "My understanding of them is limited to barely being able to understand a few words. If I were to bring Your Highness along and make a mistake, wouldn't that mean …"

"Qian Li, you choose. As long as you choose, even if it's hell, I will accept it."

Many girls may be pleased by what a man says.

But Qian Li did not.

"Then, we can only bet our luck, Your Highness, I hope our luck will be good."

After saying that, Qian Li walked to one of the intersection, Gong Jue did not hesitate and immediately followed.

However, he held Qian Li's hand and told her with an extremely serious tone. Qian Li, from now on, we need to be careful on every step of the way. We cannot be careless in any way, and also, if you encounter any danger, remember to hide behind my back. "

Just as he finished speaking, he saw countless concealed weapons flying past. It was likely that the two of them had accidentally touched some sort of mechanism, and a metal door more than ten meters away was descending. By the time they had entered, the door behind them had already been sealed shut, so … There really was no way out.

Gong Jue dodged an arrow in front of him, and was so scared that his face turned white, "No way, I just said it like that, how did you come in time?"

Ignoring his mincemeat, Qian Li avoided the thing in front of him. Taking the chance, he immediately pushed Gong Jue out. "Your majesty, hurry and go."

Gong Jue was directly pushed through the iron door by Qian Li, and seeing how the iron door was quickly falling and how Qian Li was still being held onto by the sword rain, Gong Jue was so frightened that he almost jumped out. The most despicable thing was that he was thrown down to the ground by Qian Li, so he could only lie on the ground and did not have the strength to get up. Besides, it was too late to go in and out.

"Qian Li, come quickly... The door was about to open.
