C180 Crisis

"You'll know when you get there." Qian Li did not directly voice the doubts in her heart. It was not because she did not trust them, but because she truly did not know what to say.

As for her past, she could not mention it. Right now, she was only guessing. She had always disliked doing things that she had no certainty of being able to do. Thus, in this sort of situation, she could only choose to remain silent.

She believed that when the truth was revealed, everything would come to light.

Regarding Murong Yan, she would definitely find out about him.

After a long while, the four finally arrived at the place where Qian Li had lied before.

She had a good memory, so as soon as she got to the same place, her sense of direction returned.

"It's near here." Qian Li pursed her lips, "I should have fainted near here, from the looks of it, the place at the back of the big rock is where I was lying at that time."

Li Ran did not understand, "Why is the princess looking for this place?"

A few of them talked as they walked towards the front, with Qian Li at the front, she said. To be honest, I'm not really sure why I came back to this place, but somehow, I feel like I should come back. Furthermore, I seem to have a lot of connections to this place, like … If I don't, this matter will be my regret for the rest of my life. "

"But this place has nothing."

Other than the rocks and bushes, there really did not seem to be anything special about the place. So, it was really as Qian Li said, this place was actually related to her background?

This time, Qian Li did not reply. Instead, she gave a simple calculation around them to determine the exact location where she had followed Gong Jue out from, and before long, she found the cave they had exited from earlier.

No one noticed. Amongst the few of them, Xiao Lan, who loved to talk the most, had not said a single word since she had gotten to this position.

There was a bit of restlessness in her eyes. Her hands hung by her side, but her fists were tightly clenched. She looked very nervous.

"Isn't this a dead end? What is the princess doing here? "

"It's not a dead end."

"The last time I accidentally fell down from the hole in the forest, I entered this place after, and then I discovered that this place was completely another unknown and shocking world. What's even more terrifying is that after I came to this place, I actually could understand the words here, and there was even a kind of extremely familiar feeling, as if, a long, long time ago, I had come here, but I did not have this kind of impression, so I had always felt that it was strange, but even so, because I appeared together with Third Prince last time, I found an excuse to bring him out, and told him that I would not be allowed to talk about this place with anyone for the rest of my life."

As she spoke, the mechanism in Qian Li's hand had already been activated, and she was pleasantly surprised when she accidentally saw Xiao Lan's face. The space between her eyebrows congealed, and she felt a little strange, "Xiao Lan, where are you uncomfortable? Why is she so silent today, and why does her expression look so strange? "

Hearing that, the Xiao Lan quickly recovered her wits. She waved her hand and said in a helpless tone, "The atmosphere at the bottom of the valley doesn't feel right. I've been feeling breathless ever since I came down, don't you guys feel that way?"

It was just a simple rhetorical question, yet it dispelled everyone's doubts.

Li Ran nodded, she could only analyze and say, "I think it's because of the miasma, from the looks of it, we need to go in quickly."

"Miasma?"

Although this word wasn't new to them, it was rarely used.

Therefore, to those who were present, this word was something that could only be read in books.

As for the reason that they knew about it, it was because they had once been on the expedition.

"I was careless. Last time I fainted here, I should have thought of this problem and taken precautions. However, due to my excitement, I actually forgot about this matter completely."

"The book says that these things should be special gases formed after the death of humans or animals. It is said that smelling too much would be very bad for the body, but …" For such things, the princess had no other choice. So don't blame yourself too much, Princess. "

"Alright, it's useless to talk about this now. I remember that it will be gone once we enter. Everyone, hurry up."

Looking at the slowly opening stone door, Qian Li instructed, "There are layers and layers of traps, so any single one of them could be fatal. Everyone must be careful, but according to the records, this place should be safe, but I am not sure if anyone had modified the things inside after the engravings were done, so I am not sure, but everyone must be careful."

Instead, it was because when she and Gong Jue had arrived before him, the three checkpoints that she had passed through were slightly different from the ones described on the stone walls. Furthermore, the higher ups also said that there were no traps at the intersection of the three checkpoints.

Just as expected, the moment the four went in, the passage was immediately restored without any trace. Furthermore, Li Mo inspected his surroundings, but did not find any switch.

"No switch." Li Mo frowned.

Qian Li did the same, she said, "I only saw records of those who entered and did not go out." Before she could finish, she seemed to have thought of something and frowned. "Don't tell me …"

"Well?" Everyone asked.

"Could it be that there are only two exits? One of them is the place where we saw the water flow earlier, but it's not realistic to leave from there."

"Why?"

"Don't you find it strange? This place is so dry, but the water there is so strong, which means that the exit is completely blocked, and people here can't get out, and the water can't get in. "

"Then... Is there really no other way? "

Hearing this, Qian Li frowned even more. Previously, I had only experienced it three times. With Gong Jue and I's martial arts, after going through three of the stages, I won't be able to go through them, and then, if I wasn't saved by Gong Ming and the people from the Second Prince, I believe that both Gong Jue and I would have died, so if we experience that experience again, I'm not sure if we can all leave this place alive. "

They didn't seem to be in high spirits, but since the Li Ran siblings weren't pessimists, she took the initiative and said, "No matter what, we siblings must protect the princess with our lives, even if we die, the princess will still be alive, of course, because after we enter, we don't know when we will die, so there are some words that need to be said first, Princess, if we are truly unfortunate and die, then, Murong Family's ugliness, will be handed over to you."

Qian Li shook her head. It wasn't that she didn't agree to take revenge, but she had already made a vow long ago that, in this life, she would absolutely not let anyone who was by her side leave her.

She bent down to pick up the two kneeling beside her. She said, "Don't worry, I will definitely think of a way to protect all of us. How can we die so easily? "As for the grudge, we agreed to take revenge together. You can't leave me behind on the way out for any reason."

Hearing this, the siblings also stood up. Li Ran turned tears into a smile, and said, "In the past, the Empress always said that I would definitely have good fortune, and wouldn't die so easily. So after I went to the gates of hell many times, I was able to come back alive, and I believe that it will be the same this time."

Qian Li nodded her head, "That's right, it's impossible that there is no way out. Otherwise, how would those people have lived in the past, so we shouldn't give up so early, we should go in and look, maybe we would have found them already." After saying that, Qian Li looked at their bags and she continued, "Furthermore, this time we brought enough food and water with us, so staying here for a few months won't be a problem. I don't believe that I won't be able to find the way out after that long period of time. So, everyone, don't be in such a hurry. "
