Hearing that, the Li siblings realised that the Xiao Lan was no longer there, and they started to get nervous, they stood up already. Li Ran tried to push them away forcefully from where they had fallen, but the intersection that was blocked off did not budge an inch.
"Did she not jump in when we came in?"
Thinking about it this way, they felt that this was a very scary thing. If the Xiao Lan really didn't follow in just now, then according to Qian Li's calculations, the round stone would have exploded the moment they jumped in here, or some other terrible thing would have happened. Although they didn't know what they were about to face, they could guess that it wouldn't be simple …
"It can't be, then isn't Xiao Lan …"
Obviously, everyone was thinking of the same thing, and their faces turned pale.
Qian Li shook her head, "That won't happen, Xiao Lan is very lucky, so nothing will happen. Let's check our surroundings first to see if there are any exits, maybe she also escaped too."
Although this probability wasn't high, it wasn't impossible. At the very least, these words gave everyone a bit of hope.
After that, no one said a word as they started to look around the area.
"Princess. "Here."
The thing that she lacked the most were all sorts of mechanisms, and after a few people avoided some of the less serious things, they finally found a relatively flat path. Qian Li swept her eyes across her surroundings, and realized that this section did not have any writing or totems.
"If it wasn't for the smoke bomb, I think we would have found the road to the inner hall this time around."
"Is what Princess said the location in the middle of the underground palace? But such an important place, would it be filled with traps? "
"I don't know, but I don't think so. The things I saw before weren't clearly recorded, but I don't think so." The more dangerous the place was, the safer it would be. Generally speaking, for something as important as the main hall, it should be the place with the closest guards or traps. But now that they had disappeared for so many years, the guards would definitely be gone. I don't think so. "
Hearing that, Li Ran immediately frowned: "Aren't Princess's words contradictory?"
Qian Li nodded, as if she had just reacted to her words, "Seems to be true, but I think that it is just like that. In the past, these places would be very dangerous, but the people here are always a bit different in my heart, so tell me, do you think that they would think that there are already so many traps and checkpoints outside?
"There doesn't sound like anything wrong with those words, but this subordinate feels that this place is very strange. Everyone should be careful at all times."
"We still don't know what kind of situation Xiao Lan is, but we can only follow this plan. Next up, the situation we encounter might be even more dangerous than before, but if there's anything unnecessary to say, as well as being able to chase you out or something like that due to regret, I don't want to say it, firstly, because until now, I know that no one can leave, and secondly, I already know your intentions. What I want to say is, although you all think of my life is more important than yours, and have placed your hopes on me as well, I want to tell you all that your lives are important.
With that said, as if she was worried that everyone would say something emotional, Qian Li immediately turned and left.
Fortunately, the siblings had only taken a sniff before they silently followed behind. Li Mo had directly reached out and pulled Qian Li behind him, while he walked in front, as if he was worried that he would be able to block any accidents from happening.
At this moment, his back was as imposing as ever. Under the contrast of the candles, his figure seemed even larger.
The few of them walked around a few places, but did not encounter any Xiao Lan, so they really did find the great hall.
This is a...
Although it was a long time ago that someone had cleaned and tidied up the palace, the luxurious feeling it gave off was not any less than that of the palace. However, Qian Li knew that the palace had to be guarded by people at all times in order for it to remain the same as it was today, and this place was already like this many years ago. It could be said that the people at that time were already very, very rich and very thoughtful people.
But the more it was like this, the more Qian Li couldn't understand, why would such a rich nation suddenly disappear?
In the middle, there was a chair that looked like a dragon chair, it was filled with diamonds. It was not as grand as the dragon chair, but the diamonds on its body shone brilliantly, at first glance, Qian Li would think that she had accidentally entered the home of a nouveau riche, but if one looked carefully, they would see some details.
"Heavens! Did they sit the tiger beneath them?" Listening to this voice, they realized that what Li Mo said was true. Following the direction of his finger, Qian Li saw a gigantic tiger lying down at the bottom of the chair, while his face was looking outside complacently. He looked extremely high up, as if he was looking down at everyone.
As expected …
It looked even more noble than the Emperor's Dragon Throne.
"Before, I knew that they were a people that worshipped tigers. I always thought tigers were used to worship tigers, but from the looks of this place, it doesn't seem to be the case. "What's wrong with that?"
Qian Li stroked her chin, and looked around carefully. What was even more incomprehensible, was that this time, coming to this place, she felt that it was a little too smooth, and the burning sensation from last time had also slowly disappeared.
He saw that the chair was actually four or five meters high on top of a platform. Twenty meters in front of him was a screen, and on both sides of the screen were two lifelike white jade pillars … Tiger.
There were countless tables and chairs with gems on them, but they were arranged in an orderly manner.
It seemed that this was the seat that the overseer of this place had to stay. From this point of view, even when discussing matters, the hierarchy here was not as distinct as that of the imperial court, nor was it something that the emperor could not sit on while other people were standing.
In the middle was a foot-high stage, which seemed to be prepared for the program participants. However, upon closer inspection, there seemed to be some changes to their positions as well.
"Have you noticed that their seats are placed in a certain pattern? From the position at the top to here, they seem to be continuously expanding and expanding, but his expansion is only from a single direction. How do I say, it seems like …" "They're arranged according to the shape of three horns, right?"
"Sigh, the princess hasn't noticed this before, if you say it like this, it really does sound like the piles of sand that we usually build up."
With that said, a blurry image suddenly appeared in Qian Li's mind, as though she had seen these mounds a long time ago.
However, she couldn't remember exactly where she had seen it.
Her head suddenly became dizzy, the sword in her hand unknowingly dropped to the ground, his entire person seemed to have lost all energy, the scene in front of him became blurry, and Li Ran and Li Mo's figures seemed to overlap each other.
"Li Ran." Qian Li reached out her hand, wanting to touch the Li Ran who was standing not far from her, but when she turned around, she realized that she couldn't even do such a simple action …
Right at this time, Li Ran approached her quickly, only to see her raise the sword in her hand, and quickly slash at him.
Qian Li shook her head in disbelief, "No … "No."
He wanted to speak, but the only word that could come out of his mouth was this.
She struggled to retreat, but it was as if the scenery around her continued to change. The pillar that was right next to her, was right in front of her, and all of a sudden, she was in a desert. Li Mo had gone somewhere, and beside her, was only Li Ran.
Her eyes were filled with hatred. She asked her why she had lied to her …
