C444 Entering Forbidden Area

"Let's go." Shang Zhiqing did not plan to explain further, she only spoke indifferently, and took the lead to enter the forbidden grounds.

Other than the ten Elders from the Elders Guild, no one else had any authority to enter the forbidden area. Of course, the Saintess of the Shang family could also enter this place. However, unless it was absolutely necessary, no one was allowed to enter the forbidden area.

This was because there was the Shang family's most precious metazoan flower.

Shen Haoxuan followed closely behind Shang Zhiqing as he walked to his side, and Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong looked at each other before stepping into the forbidden grounds.

No matter what the danger in the forbidden area was, it would not stop them from trying to figure out what was going on.

Moreover, the reason she and Xuanyuan Chen would appear in the Shang clan was for Shang Zhiqing.

From the moment Shang Zhiqing appeared in the forbidden grounds of the campsite, Xie Qingrong had already predicted that something that would make Shang Zhiqing take the initiative to ask for their help would definitely be something extraordinary.

There was a dark narrow road at the very front. There was a speck of light that was like a white dot of light, which was probably the exit of this road. However, after walking for what seemed like an eternity, this speck of light was still extremely small.

The closer he got to the forbidden grounds, the more stern and cold the expression on Shang Zhiqing's face became.

Shen Haoxuan walked beside Shang Zhiqing and walked by her side. Naturally, the changes in Shang Zhiqing's expression could not be hidden from him.

Looking at Shang Zhiqing's cold and detached beautiful face, Shen Haoxuan clenchedhiss fists. Taking advantage of the dark environment, he held Shang Zhiqing in her hands.

However, just as his fingertip touched the back of her hand, he felt a layer of coldness on the back of his hand.

He was hesitant in his heart, but felt that Shang Zhiqing's hand was clenched into a fist?

With a push, Shang Zhiqing's fist was held in his own palm. She channeled his internal energy and gathered it in the palm of his hand, attempting to warm the back of her ice-cold hand with his warm palm.

Shang Zhiqing turned her head to the side and looked at Shen Haoxuan beside him. Seeing Shen Haoxuan seemingly give him a gentle smile in the darkness, her heart warmed and the coldness and indifference on her face faded.

He turned his head and lowered his eyes. The starlight that flickered within his eyes was so bright that no one could see it.

Except for the faint sound of their shoes on the ground as they passed, there was no other sound in the dark tunnel. None of them said a word, as if being silent was their best thing to do at the moment.

The white dot that he could only see earlier became bigger and bigger, until it was as big as a ball.

Walking out of the dark tunnel, knowing that the sunlight was overflowing their entire bodies, the four of them let out a sigh of relief, exhaling all the foul air from their bodies.

Just now, the oppressive and suffocating feeling in the darkness gradually disappeared from his body.

Shang Zhiqing looked at the straight road in front of him, and introduced: "This is the first stage of the forbidden grounds, this road is filled with traps and traps. If we accidentally touch the mechanism, I'm afraid we will be pierced through by the arrows shot from all directions."

Xie Qingrong was silent for a moment, as though she was thinking of something, and then said: "You mean that there is rain of arrows in this straight forest path?"

"Yes." Shang Zhiqing nodded and replied.

Hearing that, Xie Qingrong snapped her fingers, and revealed a confident and charming smile, and said: "Then it'll be easy to do."

Picking up a pile of stones from the ground and putting them into the cloth bag they had prepared before they left, he took two steps forward and stopped. He threw the stone that he had just collected forward without making any sound.

He tossed another one to who knows where, as if he had triggered a trap.

"Woosh, woosh, woosh ~ ~ ~"

Wave after wave of broken air shot out from the dense forest in all directions, shooting towards Shi Yan's direction.

Xie Qingrong squinted her eyes, seeing these "baring her fangs and brandishing her claws" arrows shooting in the air, in a few breaths of time, the rain of arrows stopped.

Seeing the arrows fall onto the ground one by one, Xuanyuan Chen stood beside Xie Qingrong and clapped his hands, praising: "A Rong is very powerful."

Xie Qingrong did not take Xuanyuan Chen's praises very seriously. In her opinion, to recklessly charge through, not only was it a waste of time, it was also a waste of energy.

Although the mechanism designed by this arrow was ingenious, it had its own drawbacks. This was an attack without any differences. As long as something touched the mechanism, it would shoot out an arrow no matter what.

She only needed to make small use of some tools to avoid these notorious dangers, so why not?

However, she would not tell them about this.

He chuckled and said, "Let's go."

Finished speaking, he took the lead and walked forward, to the place where arrows were everywhere. Xuanyuan Chen, Shang Zhiqing and Shen Haoxuan followed closely behind.

He then threw out the third stone to explore the way. Just like that, he threw away the stone. The arrow followed the mechanism that the stone came into contact with and shot out.

He passed through the first trial with ease.

The expression in Shang Zhiqing's eyes when she looked at Xie Qingrong was unconsciously filled with admiration, and a sense of pride rose within her heart.

Back when she had charged into the forbidden area, because she didn't know the rules of that place, she had accidentally barged into it. She had also suffered a lot in the first stage, and quite a few places on her body had been colored.

But she didn't expect that this time, she was ready to be injured to pass the first trial so easily.

It was unbelievable!

And the person who led them through this trial was her elder sister, the elder sister that she was most proud of!

Standing at the intersection of the second stage, Xie Qingrong stopped and gave her the seat. Shang Zhiqing was still immersed in her admiration for her older sister, and upon seeing this, she was slightly puzzled.

However, he quickly recovered and earnestly introduced the second stage.

"If the first stage is just an appetizer, then the second stage is the true beginning of the test. There were 128 green bamboos planted in the forest, and this was a life-and-death game. This is a game left behind by the Ancient Kingdom, the movements of the chess pieces are constantly changing. "

"We can move four pieces, and the corresponding green bamboo in the forest will change according to the changes the pieces make on the board. After the last chess piece is moved, if this chess piece becomes a live chess piece, then we can pass this bamboo forest. If it becomes a game of death, we can only wait for the next day. Everything here will return to normal and we can try to pass the trial again. "

After Shang Zhiqing finished introducing the chess board, a white jade board slowly rose up from the ground. The entire board's horizontal and vertical lines were all inlaid with thin golden lines. As for the black and white chess pieces, they were even more precious. They were actually made with black and white agate.

It was a sky-stealing skill, and its value was priceless.

In particular, the chess pieces on it were priceless.

Shang Zhiqing looked at Xie Qingrong with anticipation, and felt that Xie Qingrong would definitely be able to help them pass the second round. Although she knew how to comprehend the chess board, she had promised the Great Clan Elder that she would only be able to accompany him and would not help him out.

Otherwise, it would be ineffective.

As such, she was just an introduction for them on their way here.
