Chapter 602: Exploring the Amazing Ruins
"Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-"
Three figures, like arrows shot from a bow, plunged into the bottomless pit.
Wu Hen only felt the whistling of wind in his ears and his body falling rapidly. That feeling was a hundred times more exciting than riding a roller coaster!
"Oh my goodness! How deep is this?"
Wu Hen couldn't help but yell, "Qi Ye, are you sure that this isn't the entrance to hell?"
Lin Qiye didn't say anything, but his eyes scanned the surroundings like a radar.
The inside of this huge pit is not completely dark. There are some glowing minerals embedded in the pit wall.
It emits a faint light, and you can barely see the surrounding environment.
"Be careful, there's something weird about this place." Lin Qiye warned in a deep voice.
Yuhuiqing Palace was also on high alert, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.
"Ding Dong! Host, please pay attention, high energy warning ahead!" Wu Hen's system suddenly sounded an alarm.
"A large number of unidentified creatures have been detected approaching. Host, please prepare for battle!"
"What? Unidentified creatures?"
Wu Hen's scalp exploded when he heard this, "System, quick! Give me a powerful weapon!"
"Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a 'Sky Monkey'! Instructions: Ignite it and throw it to cause a devastating blow to the target!"
"Sky-high Monkey?!"
Wu Hen almost fainted. "System, are you sure this is a powerful weapon and not a firecracker for the New Year?"
"Host, please rest assured. The products of this system must be of the highest quality!" the system promised solemnly.
"Okay, I'll believe you this time!"
Wu Hen gritted his teeth and took out a "Sky Monkey" that was thicker than his arm from the system space.
At this moment, a rustling sound came from all directions, getting closer and louder.
"Here it comes!" Lin Qiye shouted in a low voice.
With the help of the faint light, Wu Hen saw that the pit wall was densely covered with countless black shadows.
Those black shadows, like snakes and insects, with sharp claws and fangs, were rushing towards them at an extremely fast speed!
"Oh my god! So many!" Wu Hen was so scared that his hands trembled and he almost dropped the "Sky Monkey".
"Don't just stand there! Light the fire quickly!" Lin Qiye urged.
Wu Hen hurriedly took out his lighter and lit the fuse of the "Skyrocket Monkey".
"Zi-"
Sparks flew from the fuse, and Wu Hen quickly threw the "Sky Monkey" towards the black shadows.
"Whoosh-bang!"
The "Sky Monkey" drew an arc in the air and landed accurately among the group of black shadows, and then made a deafening explosion!
A huge ball of fire shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire giant pit like daylight!
Those dark shadows turned into ashes in the flames, leaving no trace!
"Wow! This 'Sky Monkey' is too powerful!" Wu Hen was stunned.
"Don't be complacent, it's not over yet!" Lin Qiye said, pointing to the front.
Wu Hen looked in the direction of Lin Qiye's finger, and saw a strange scene at the bottom of the huge pit.
It was a huge underground space, in the center of which stood a magnificent palace.
All around the palace, there grow various exotic flowers and plants, emitting colorful light.
"This... what is this place?" Wu Hen was completely dumbfounded.
Lin Qiye's eyes flashed with excitement: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the core area of the ruins!"
"Core area? Then won't we get rich?" Wu Hen's eyes lit up.
"Don't be happy too soon. The more central a place is, the more dangerous it is." Lin Qiye poured a basin of cold water on him.
"What are you afraid of? With you here and my 'Sky Monkey', I will kill any god that stands in my way!" Wu Hen said, patting his chest.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go down and take a look!" Lin Qiye said, and took the lead to walk towards the underground space.
Wu Hen and Yu Huiqinggong followed closely behind, and the three of them stepped into this mysterious area cautiously.
"Ding Dong! Host, please pay attention. A large number of treasures have been found ahead. Please collect them as soon as possible!" The system's prompt sounded again.
"Treasure? Where is it? Where is it?" Wu Hen rubbed his hands excitedly and looked around.
"Don't worry, the treasure is right in front of you."
Lin Qiye pointed at the magnificent palace and said, "However, it may not be that easy to obtain the treasure."
"What do you mean?" Wu Hen asked.
"Look at the palace entrance." Lin Qiye gestured to Wu Hen to look over there.
Wu Hen looked closely and saw two huge stone statues standing at the entrance of the palace.
The stone statues hold spears and look majestic, like two door gods.
"These two stone statues are probably the mechanism that protects the treasure."
Lin Qiye analyzed, "If you want to enter the palace, you must get rid of them first."
"give it to me!"
Wu Hen volunteered, "Watch me blow them to pieces with the Sky Monkey!"
"Do not impulse!"
Lin Qiye stopped Wu Hen and said, "These two stone statues are not simple. We won't be able to defeat them head-on. We need to outsmart them."
"Outsmart? How do you outsmart them?" Wu Hen scratched his head.
Lin Qiye did not answer, but walked around the stone statue several times and observed it carefully.
"System, is there any way to deal with these two stone statues?" Wu Hen asked in his heart.
"Ding Dong! Host, please wait a moment. The system is analyzing..."
"Analysis results are out. Host is advised to use the 'honey trap'!"
"Honey trap?!"
Wu Hen almost burst out laughing. "System, are you sure you're not mistaken? Using a honey trap to deal with two stone statues?"
"Host, please rest assured, this system is absolutely reliable!"
The system said seriously,
"According to our system's analysis, these two stone statues are a special mechanism from ancient times called the 'Love Gate.' Only by passing the 'Love Gate' test can one enter the palace."
"Love barrier? What does this have to do with anything?" Wu Hen became more and more confused the more he listened.
"To put it simply, these two stone statues have human emotions. As long as you can impress them, they will let you in." The system explained.
"Impress them? How to impress them? Do you want me to fall in love with them?" Wu Hen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"The host can choose to go alone or summon helpers." The system gives two options.
"Nonsense! Of course I'm going to summon help!"
Wu Hen said without hesitation, "System, quick! Summon me a peerless beauty!"
"Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a 'Diao Chan' experience card! Instructions for use: Silently recite 'Diao Chan' in your heart to summon Diao Chan to descend!"
"Diao Chan?! Diao Chan, one of the Four Beauties?" Wu Hen almost jumped up in excitement. "System, you're so awesome!"
"Host, please note that the 'Diao Chan' experience card is only valid for ten minutes, please hurry up!" the system reminded.
"Ten minutes is enough!" Wu Hen said confidently.
"Diao Chan!" Wu Hen muttered in his heart.
There was a flash of white light, and a gorgeous woman in gorgeous clothes appeared in front of Wu Hen.
"I am Diao Chan, nice to meet you, sir." Diao Chan bowed gracefully, her voice so sweet and melodious that it moved people's hearts.
"Wow! It's really Diao Chan!" Wu Hen's eyes widened.
"Young Master, what should we do next?" Diao Chan asked.
"Ahem, um, Diao Chan, go talk to those two stone statues and find a way to get them to let us in."
Wu Hen pointed at the stone statue at the entrance of the palace and said.
"I understand." Diao Chan said, and walked towards the two stone statues with light lotus steps.
Wu Hen, Lin Qiye and Yu Huiqinggong hid aside and watched the situation.
Diao Chan walked up to the stone statue, bowed, and then
She said in a sweet voice, "Generals, I am honored to be here."
The two stone statues were originally motionless, but when they heard Diao Chan's voice, they actually turned their heads slightly and looked at Diao Chan.
"Generals, I am here to look for treasure. I hope you can do me a favor and let me in." Diao Chan continued.
One of the stone statues uttered a deep voice: "Treasure hunters? Humph! Anyone who trespasses into the forbidden area will die!"
Another stone statue also said: "That's right! This is a forbidden area, no one is allowed to enter!"
Seeing this, Diao Chan was not alarmed. Instead, she smiled and said, "Generals, I know the rules, but there is one thing I don't understand. I hope you can help me clear it up."
"What's the matter?" asked the statue.
"May I ask the two generals, how many years have you been guarding here?" Diao Chan asked.
"We have been guarding here for ten thousand years." The statue replied.
"After thousands of years, wouldn't those two generals be very lonely?" Diao Chan asked again.
"Lonely? Humph! We are stone statues, how can we be lonely?" said the stone statue.
"So what if it's a stone statue? Stone statues also have hearts and emotions." Diao Chan said quietly.
"The two generals have guarded this place for ten thousand years. Haven't you ever felt a hint of loneliness? Haven't you ever felt a hint of longing?"
Diao Chan's words seemed to touch the two stone statues. They were silent for a moment and did not speak.
"My two generals, I am not talented enough, but I am willing to perform a dance for you to relieve your loneliness."
Diao Chan said this and gently untied the ribbon around her waist.
"This..." The two stone statues hesitated.
"Two generals, please allow me to dance for you." Diao Chan said again, with a hint of pleading in her voice.
"Okay, in that case, then jump." One of the stone statues finally gave in.
"Thank you, General!" Diao Chan smiled sweetly, and then began to dance.
Diao Chan's dance is graceful and dreamy, as if a fairy has descended to earth.
The two stone statues were mesmerized and completely immersed in Diao Chan's dance.
"good chance!"
Seeing this, Wu Hen whispered to Lin Qiye, "Let's go!"
Lin Qiye nodded, and the three of them quietly walked around the stone statues while they were not paying attention, and headed towards the palace gate.
Just as they were about to enter the palace, a roar suddenly came: "Stop!"
"Oh no! We've been discovered!" Wu Hen was shocked.
One of the stone statues suddenly turned around and pointed the spear in its hand at Wu Hen and the other two.
"You bold thief! How dare you tease us! Die!" The stone statue roared and rushed towards Wu Hen and the other two.
