Moments later, along with a series of sounds, the tiger's eyes disappeared completely. Replacing them was a vacant spot behind the chair.
However, the stone that Qian Li had bounced off on the silk thread had fallen through the empty space in front of the tiger's eyes and landed on the ground.
After some noise, the rock fell to the ground.
Qian Li stopped Li Mo and Li Ran from directly stepping forward to check, and instead grabbed the two of them and waited on the spot for a while. Once the dust completely settled, the three of them carefully walked up the steps that were made of white jade.
"Judging from the sound and timing of the landing, the mechanism should not be that deep."
As Li Mo said this, he nodded slightly. The injuries on Li Ran's body were somewhat heavy, so she, who had just recovered from her rest, chose to maintain her stamina.
Qian Li did not say anything, the few of them walked quickly, and in the process of talking, they had already reached the top. Initially, they thought that the tunnel was leading downwards, but they did not expect to see it at the side, which meant, as long as a person jumped down to a height of one person, they would be able to directly enter.
As a man, Li Mo stayed at the front. He first went in to check if there were any problems before he let Qian Li and Li Ran go down.
The basement was no longer as bright as the one above them. There were no longer any long-lasting flames, and the few people who had walked a few steps down felt like they were covered in darkness.
"Did you bring the fire piston?"
In this pitch-black place, it was possible for people to become anxious just by not talking. Qian Li was fine as she had night vision, and in the darkness, she did not feel too much of a difference, but the feeling that only she herself could see wasn't very good.
"I did." However, for some reason, the fire piston could not be opened no matter what. Moreover, the people who just went down clearly felt that their breathing wasn't as smooth as when they went up.
Qian Li seemed to have realized something, but she had already reached this step. She did not want to give up, so after a few simple thoughts with everyone, the few of them decided to move forward, saying that they would come back when they could not take it anymore.
Qian Li took out the silk threads from her hands once again, and seriously twined them around the fingers of the two people.
"In a moment, both of you will follow me. Do not touch anything by your side. Remember, whatever I say, it is what I say."
"Princess, you?" At first, they did not understand why Qian Li suddenly tied them up, but after hearing what she said, they became confused.
In truth, Qian Li had never wanted to hide this matter of her ability from the two before. Compared to Gong Ming, they were the two people she trusted the most, and telling them that it was understandable.
"Don't find it very strange. In fact, I don't know how to explain this kind of thing, but …" I really can see these things in the dark. "
"Previously, I heard Xi Lan talk about some things in the prison. At that time, I felt that there was something fishy about the woman's death, but now that I know about it, I finally understand." Li Ran said.
Qian Li nodded, "It is indeed so. At the time, it was all thanks to these eyes. If it wasn't for that, how could I have been able to create such a perfect scene in the darkness without any bloodstains?"
After saying that, the thread had also been tied up. Qian Li tested it a little and found that it wasn't too tight. However, it wouldn't trip the siblings or anything like that.
"Alright, now just follow me. If you feel flustered, just speak."
The alley was pitch black inside, Qian Li pulled the siblings and calmly walked forward.
Other than the darkness and the slight discomfort in his breathing, there did not seem to be anything special.
The three of them supported each other as they walked for around a hundred meters, before coming to a halt.
"Princess?"
"There are three doors here. I don't know where to go."
Hearing this, Li Mo immediately pulled out the map he held out earlier and handed it over to Qian Li, "This subordinate remembers that the map previously said that we would meet three intersections after entering, it seems to be the case now. It's just that, Princess, is there a door called the Thousand Layered Gate?"
Qian Li took the map, the feeling that something was wrong did not decrease. She did not immediately open the map, but raised her head and looked at the door in the middle.
This font was exactly the same as the one she had seen when she first came in, as if they were all made by the same person. It was also much simpler than the one she had seen earlier.
But strangely, when Qian Li carefully counted the strokes, they were exactly the same.
Available... She felt it was strange, but she couldn't tell what it was.
Helpless, she could only suppress the uneasiness in her heart. She nodded her head, but then realized that they couldn't see, so she opened her mouth and said, "Yes."
"If that's the case, then the map is real."
Qian Li did not speak, but instead looked for the mechanism at the side, which was different from the ones she had come in contact with before. After entering today, everything had been terrifyingly smooth, and she had not seen the frightening mechanisms that were rumored to be.
Everything went smoothly to an inconceivable extent.
"Princess, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Unlike Li Mo's agitation, a girl had to be more careful. Even if she couldn't see it, she seemed to be able to see through Qian Li's thoughts.
Qian Li regained her senses, looked at the stone door that was already slowly opening, and said, "No, I'm very happy." Although she said that, she didn't hear any hint of happiness in her words.
However, once the door was opened, everyone could see what was happening in front of them.
Not fire or anything, but...
The room in front of him was dazzling in gold. The light didn't need any other tools to see it.
Even though Qian Li was a noble empress in her previous life, after seeing the silver in the national treasury, when she saw the mountain of jewelry piled up in front of him, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
"Bro, quick, hit me once, am I dreaming?"
Everyone was not the type of person who only cared about money, but when there really was such a huge room filled with jewelry, which looked as if it would extend into the room, even Li Ran, who was indifferent to her fame, could not sit still.
Of course, Li Mo did not make a move, he said, "It seems like we are all having the same dream." But in the end, he was still more rational and after a moment he started to ask, "It can't be an environment, right? Everyone, quickly keep calm. "
After saying that, Li Ran, who had just touched the jewelry, was so frightened that she quickly closed his eyes to adjust her state of mind. But when she opened his eyes, the thing in front of him was still there.
As a result, everyone lost their composure.
"It can't be. Is the situation really different from last time? Is it so serious this time that we can't leave?" Li Ran, who thought she was trapped, found it hard to be happy after seeing so much money. She sat down on the ground and rested her chin on her hands, feeling extremely helpless.
Qian Li slightly sighed, then said, "I don't think that these are all illusions, but real ones."
"What …" With that sentence, Li Ran, who was just sitting on the ground, suddenly stood up. She grabbed another handful of jewelry and asked in disbelief. Princess, is what you said the truth? "
"It's true. It's just the truth, that I have never seen so much money in my entire life. All of these things are simply three to five times more valuable than our national treasury, but I really can't understand, how can a nation with such a strong brain and so much money, have no money?"
As they spoke, the three of them continued forward. Finally, when they were about to be immune to these things, the few of them stopped at the innermost area.
"This... "So beautiful …"
In the middle of the room, there was a white jade sculpture. Her face was covered with a layer of white silk, so it was hard to tell what she looked like. She was wearing a white dress, looking like a gorgeous fairy …
Her large, pitch-black eyes were as lively as those of a living person. Her eyes were like a clear spring, unceasingly attracting the attention of others. They were like a whirlpool, attracting people to go deeper and deeper.
Qian Li just stared at her and unknowingly was about to fall into her trap.
Qian Li started walking, one step at a time, towards the sculpture.
Her eyes were filled with infatuation, with … Some emotions that the siblings could not understand.
