CHAPTER 1239: CHAPTER 1239, 1240: ENTERING THE MAIN TOMB (1)

With a shock in their hearts, Da Huzi and the others wanted to struggle to get up, but found that they couldn’t muster any strength at all.

Recalling when Gu Yelin had caught them earlier, he had casually tapped them twice. Da Huzi and the others harbored a grudge in their hearts, Gu Yelin must have done something to their acupoints!

At this time, Gu Yelin, having completed his actions, swiftly darted and leaped back to the third stone chamber.

A sound of stone grinding began to ring out as the stone door slowly closed. An Yiqing and the others stood inside the third stone chamber, watching through the closing door crack the sight of Da Huzi and the others in the second chamber, pierced like sieves by needle boards, and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Bang—!

The stone door shut completely, blocking out all external sounds.

An Yiqing and Gu Yelin stood in front of the stone door, cautiously observing the empty stone chamber.

The third stone chamber was much larger than the first and second, with an area far exceeding that of a soccer field. It was very quiet inside, with no fixtures or any sound.

Suddenly, as everyone was holding their breath and waiting, the clinking of metal chains suddenly sounded.

An Yiqing’s ears twitched, her face instantly turning serious. She grabbed Yin Xilin and Ah Mi beside her and swiftly retreated to the left side.

"Get away from there! There’s a trap!"

Upon An Yiqing’s shout, An Zhifeng and the others didn’t stop to think and quickly moved from their spots. Just as the last person, Dashan, lifted his foot, the solid concrete ground suddenly cracked into pieces. Then, from a central point, it quickly spider-webbed outward!

The sounds of metal chains crashing came one after another, and the cracks gradually spread under An Zhifeng and the others’ feet. Everyone hurriedly avoided the assault of the cracks, while also being alert to the sudden danger.

At this moment, the entire floor of the stone chamber resembled a set of dominoes, expanding outward from a single point. As the clinking sound grew louder, the many cracked gaps on the floor abruptly disappeared. Subsequently, an endless abyss suddenly appeared before everyone!

An Yiqing led everyone to retreat to a small corner at the edge of the stone chamber. Watching the scene in the endless abyss, they couldn’t help but gasp!

This endless abyss was actually a knife mountain and a sea of fire!

The endless abyss resembled a sea of fire, filled with boiling flames. Countless steel blades rose abruptly from the sea of fire, with the sharp, terrifying glint of the tips making one’s scalp tingle.

A knife mountain, a sea of fire, without any point of support. An Yiqing and the others had to cross a stone chamber larger than a soccer field to reach the stone door on the other side. Even the slightest carelessness could lead to plunging into the abyss, leaving nothing behind!

"Boss, why not let me try first?!" proposed the swift Tan Yulin.

"No, it’s too dangerous. Until a foolproof plan is put in place, no one is allowed to try."

An Yiqing decisively rejected Tan Yulin’s request. Though she couldn’t see, Ah Mi and Yin Xilin had just thoroughly described the stone chamber’s situation. Even using her imagination, she knew how terrifying a knife mountain and sea of fire below must be. Without any support, no matter how fast one was, falling into the abyss was a possibility. Should that happen, not even the Heavenly King could save them!

"Miss, how about this, can we try stepping on the blade tips to pass?" suggested An Zhifeng.

An Yiqing shook her head, "No! We cannot currently determine the temperature of the fire sea below. What if those aren’t steel blades but blades made of some special high-melting-point materials? Our human bodies can’t withstand such high temperatures; one mistake, and we might be burned to ashes. This method won’t work, no."
