Chapter 179 - The Cold Woman's Strategy
Qing Han stared at Spider Queen and replied with a trembling voice.
"You said that the Golden City is in the mountains?"
Qing Han nodded her head, "If my password is correct. On the side of the Rift Valley, there should be a cave or door leading into the inside of the mountain. However, there might be other mechanisms. If you kill me, you won't be able to get past those traps. "
Qing Han's words were already very clear, but Spider Queen did not seem to believe them. She suddenly raised the gun in her hand and pointed it at Qing Han's forehead.
Seeing the Spider Queen aiming her gun at Qing Han's forehead, I shouted in fear. However, Spider Queen did not open fire.
"I don't believe you. You, walk in front for me."
Spider Queen did not shoot Qing Han, but grabbed her by the hair, forcing her to walk at the front.
"If another person dies, I won't hesitate to kill you."
After saying that, Spider Queen slapped Qing Han's face twice, and even kicked her. Qing Han turned her face away, but due to the darkness, I couldn't clearly see Qing Han's expression, but I knew that it was painful. I gritted my teeth and cursed myself again and again. I really wanted to rush up and punch Spider Queen until his head became paralyzed, but my two hands were tied behind my back with shackles. I couldn't move at all, I could only watch as Qing Han screamed miserably.
Although they had lost dozens of people, the Spider Queen did not seem to give up on the Gold City.
Just when I didn't know what Spider Queen would do next, she suddenly shouted.
Hearing Spider Queen's shouts, I saw a few slightly higher level female bandit take out a weapon similar to hand grenades from their backpack, and then pull out the lead wire, throwing it towards the swamp!
RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
Five loud sounds could be heard, and soil and water splashed high into the air. Dozens of crocodiles were struck by the grenade, and even the crocodiles in the swamp were blown away.
Relying on the power of the hand grenades, Spider Queen forcefully blasted a path in front of him! In fact, when the crocodiles surrounded them, Spider Queen could have used the hand grenades, but the hand grenades were in the bag and they took some time to pick them up. At that time, the crocodiles were closing in on them step by step, the situation was extremely urgent.
After that, the Spider Queen ordered someone to use a grenade to blow down a few ancient trees in the Dark Forest, and then threw themselves onto the marshland in front of them, forming a temporary bridge so that they could be stepped on.
"Earth (Go)!" Spider Queen shouted, and continued to command the others to walk forward on the road that was paved with ancient trees.
Qing Han was forced to walk at the front, and seeing her forced to walk at the front, a strong sense of resentment welled up in my heart.
Qing Han was forced to walk at the very front, while the Spider Queen's Lion King followed by my side, closely staring at me, not allowing me to run far.
"Qing Han, be careful." I couldn't help Qing Han, so I could only call her name and remind her.
At my words, Qing Han turned her head to look at me, but it was too dark for me to see her expression.
"Yes." I heard Qinghan's response, and then she walked onto the long bridge paved with ancient trees. Ancient trees span across the swamp, and right below the swamp is a group of crocodiles, although Spider Queen used a few grenades to scare away the grenades, but Qinghan still required a lot of courage to walk on them, and didn't encounter any danger even after the cold passed the Ancient Trees. After Spider Queen let the remaining female bandit organize themselves a bit, she said some words of consolation and encouragement, and then let the rest of us follow her through the Ancient Trees.
I knew it was a crocodile, so I walked very slowly. As soon as I heard any movement, I immediately stopped moving, because the crocodile had no reaction to still objects, and because it was dark all around, I was able to smoothly cross the swamp like Qing Han.
On the other side of the swamp is the depths of the Dark Forest. In the middle of the forest, the number of swamps has decreased, and everyone is trying their best to see the terrain clearly before circling around the swamp.
Of course, although we did not encounter any danger, but when we were passing through the Dark Forest, I could always hear the rustling sounds coming from deep within the Dark Forest, as if some kind of creature was passing through the forest. From the sound, we could tell that the creature was not small, and the female bandit could also sense that there was something in the forest, but because they had already used up all their bullets and did not have any searchlights, they did not dare to go deeper into the forest to investigate the mysterious life forms, so we quickly chased out of the Dark Forest.
The Dark Forest stretched for a few kilometers, but we didn't head towards the depths of the forest. Instead, we went around the depths of the Dark Forest and headed towards the side of the mountain wall, because according to what Qing Han said, the passage to the Golden City should be somewhere on the mountain wall.
Because of the previous experience with crocodiles, no one dared to light a searchlight this time around. We were relying entirely on the little bit of sunlight that shone from the top of the mountain to identify our surroundings.
The mountain wall was not precipitous, and its surface was uneven. It was covered with thick moss, and there were even many ancient vines hanging down, forming a network.
According to what Qing Han said, the entrance to the Gold City was at a certain place on the mountain wall, so once they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Spider Queen immediately ordered the rest of the female bandit to find a suspicious entrance that resembled a cave.
However, the mountain wall stretched for tens of kilometers, so it was not easy to find it. The cold did not know the exact entrance, so he could only anxiously search beneath the mountain wall.
If it was according to the conventional way of thinking in movies and novels, finding the entrance to the treasure trove would also be very difficult, as there would definitely be some sort of trap mechanism at the entrance. Just like the opening of the sesame seed gate in Alibaba, you have to have some code of the code of the code of the code of the code of the code of the code of the code of the code of the code of the code of the code of the code of the code of the code of the code of the code. However, we don't have any of these things right now. We are like a group of blind cats, wandering around randomly. We have yet to find the entrance after walking for a few kilometers. At that time, the Spider Queen no longer had any patience, they were about to ask about Qing Han. However, at this time, someone from the female bandit started shouting, as if something had happened.
Hearing the shout, all the female bandit s immediately ran towards the source of the shout.
I also followed along and ran to the side of the female bandit who was shouting loudly to check on the situation.
The female bandit pointed at a certain place on the mountain wall ahead of us. I raised my head and narrowed my eyes, realising that there was actually a relief sculpture embedded in the mountain in a certain place on the mountain wall.
It seems to be carved from gold. Although the color is very dark, I think it should be gold, otherwise, after experiencing so many years of history, if the sculptures were made of metal like iron or copper, they would have rusted by now.
The pattern on the relief was a five-headed cobra. I heard on Baidu Tieba in the 21st century that people in ancient Cambodia and other Southeast Asian regions believe in snakes. The five-headed serpent represents the depth of the water, the seven-headed serpent represents the guardian god, and the nine-headed serpent represents the god of the gods.
Looking at the sculptures on the mountain wall, Spider Queen was very excited, because the discovery of the sculptures meant that the entrance to the Golden City was not far away.
It was just that the arch was sealed, and was connected to the mountain, it was covered with moss and vines. If one did not look carefully, it was impossible to find that this was an arch, and one would only think that it was a normal mountain wall.
At this point, even a fool would know that the door in front of them was the entrance to the Golden City.
Spider Queen made a prompt decision. She had her men plant explosives under the arch, and then told everyone to retreat, and then detonated the explosives!
With a series of explosions, the arch on the mountain wall was blasted into countless pieces. Earth and rocks flew everywhere, and the explosions repeatedly shook the valley.
As the dust settled, an arched black tunnel appeared in front of everyone.
"Hahahaha!"
Seeing the passage on the mountain wall, Spider Queen could not hold back her excitement and laughed out loud. She felt that victory was already in her hands.
It was no wonder as the Spider Queen, including several generations of female bandit's leaders, had been searching for the Golden City for so many years. Now that they had finally found the entrance to the Golden City, they were naturally extremely excited!
Taking advantage of the Spider Queen being attracted by the entrance of the Gold City and me laughing heartily, I suddenly felt my hand being pulled by a warm and soft hand. I turned my head in surprise to find Qing Han standing behind me. It turns out that while Spider Queen and I were searching for the entrance to the Golden City, she had secretly walked behind me.
"Wang Yong, run!" Qing Han whispered into my ear before she suddenly pulled my hand and ran. I didn't even have the time to understand the situation before she pulled me to the back.
"What's wrong?" I didn't know what was going on yet, but Qing Han suddenly pulled me and started running towards the depths of the Dark Forest!
They obviously noticed that Qing Han and I were about to run away, but just as their shouts sounded out, I immediately heard the sound of a huge flood behind us. Even the ground was trembling.
Rumble rumble rumble!
It was the sound of water!
Terrifying sounds of water flowing could be heard coming from inside the arch, followed by a huge flood that was like a water dragon, slanting out from inside the arch!
"Wang Yong, quickly run! That isn't the entrance to the Gold City, it's the gate to the Gatherer Underground Reservoir!"
The clear and cold voice sounded in my ears, causing my heart to greatly tremble!
I finally understood Qing Han's plan. Thinking about it, I hastily ran forward, following Qing Han. Although our bodies were locked by iron chains, we could still barely make a step forward. Furthermore, the dark forest was dark, it was impossible for Spider Queen to find the direction we were heading!
I didn't know what was going on behind me, but the rumbling sound of the flood and its screams came from behind me. I knew that a lot of female bandit must have been submerged by the flood!
"Where are we going?" My feet are wrapped in iron chains. I didn't run fast, so I was afraid that the female bandit might catch up with me.
"The heart of the forest." Qing Han said anxiously.
"The heart of the forest?" I was surprised.
"Right, that is the true location of the Golden City! "We won't be submerged by the water. Run, Wang Yong, do your best!"
Qing Han pulled me and ran for her life. Obviously, she had been waiting for this opportunity for a long, long time …
