"Sister Wu, you found the solution so quickly?" Shangguan Wan'er said in surprise.

"Yes." Wu Zetian walked to the opposite mural, and with her long pointed fingertips, she cut out the jade crown of the god on the painting, and a shiny pearl appeared in her palm.

Only then did they realize that the pearls on the mural were not outlined with lines and colors, but were actually embedded in it, and they were real beads!

"This can be completely mistaken for reality. Your Majesty has a good eye." Shangguan Wan'er subconsciously used the honorific title, forgetting that today is no longer the same as before, but your Majesty is still as smart and careful as in memory.

"It's amazing, how did sister see it?" Ji Ranyue took the pearl from Wu Zetian's palm, placed it in the arc of blue light, and observed it carefully, and found that it was just an ordinary pearl, and it could be hidden.

What's the mystery?

"This bead is too new."

Unlike the murals in this cave, which have gone through hundreds of years and are full of traces engraved by time, this pearl seems to have been deliberately placed there not long ago.

"Moreover, there is exactly such a groove in the center of the bottom of the eaves of the stone box cover, which is consistent with the size of this bead."

Is this too much of a coincidence?

Could this bead be placed here deliberately by Ji Ciyue's crazy guy to plot against her?

That's not right. If Ji Ciyue could enter this secret room on her own, there would be no need to turn into a cross-dressing boss and go to all the trouble to kidnap her.

This is unreasonable.

"My Lord seems to have concerns." Wu Zetian saw that she was just rubbing the beads and did not put them into the groove immediately, so he could see that she still had concerns.

"I just think it's too smooth, which makes people uneasy." Ji Ranyue didn't want to hide anything from them, but with just a few words, she couldn't fully describe Ji Ciyue's crazy criticizing attributes.

"It is a good thing to be vigilant, but you have to try it before you know whether it will succeed or not." Wu Zetian thought that if she wanted to break the situation and hunt for treasure, it was better to be decisive.

Indecisiveness leads to disaster.

"What Sister Wu said is absolutely true."

Ji Ranyue pressed the pearl into the groove, and the four of them looked at the stone box, observing its changes.

But after they waited for a long time, there was no response from the stone box. Ji Ranyue pushed the stone cover again, but it still didn't move at all.

It's like a silent mockery of them.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

"Is it possible that something is missing?" Cai Yan turned around and observed the mural from beginning to end again.

God, sacrifice, girl...

"Wait, I get it! It's a blood matchmaker. Ancient tribes often use blood as sacrifices, alliances, and covenants. The pearl placed in the groove of this stone box should—"

"Soaked in blood!" the four of them said in unison.

And this blood, without a doubt, is needed from Ji Ranyue's.

There was nothing wrong with this speculation. She thought that she had just picked a "Mrs. Xu's dagger" at the beginning, which was sharp enough to cut iron like clay. She could use it to cut her hand, which might relieve some of the pain.

She is just a delicate person, afraid of pain and tiredness. Her biggest ambition in this life is to be a salted fish, eating and waiting to die.

However, God did not grant what people wished for.

The bright red blood droplets soaked into the whole pearl little by little. I don't know if it was their imagination, but the pearl seemed to be able to suck blood, and it was a bit brighter than before.

"My God, isn't this a world of ancient martial arts? But I feel more and more like I've mistakenly entered some fairy tale set. The plot is becoming more and more magical." Ji Ranyue felt that the scene in front of her was really real.

It was so weird that I couldn’t help but complain.

"Haha, it's not all thanks to your host."

The previous world line has been destroyed by the host to the point where he no longer recognizes his own mother. If he wants to prevent the world from completely collapsing, the way of heaven can only sew the world together on its own.

Moreover, the halo of the original heroine's protagonist has been scattered to pieces. Heaven has repaired it on its own, and has transferred most of the luck to the host.

But because the identity occupied by the host is just a white moonlight background, the character design, plot, and hidden lines are all too thin. Tiandao wants to try his best to perfect the fate of this subjugated princess, so he can only piece it together here and there.

It borrows a bit from the plot settings of the worlds next door.

"In other words, the person I am going to face in this world may not even be a human being?"

All kinds of monsters and ghosts may appear!

"That's not the case. Even the settings of some characters in the original world will also change accordingly. Haven't we already met the host? Ji Ciyue is one of them."

According to the setting of the original novel, Ji Ciyue is only one of the harems of the heroine Mo Ran, but due to the intervention of the host and various stimulations to him for three years, he has officially become one of the villain bosses in the current world setting.

Now, abilities, destiny, personality... are all completely irrelevant to the original ones.

"Stop it, don't mention that person again!" She calmed down, pushed open the stone cover, and leaned forward to look into the box.

There was no gold, no jewelry, no martial arts secrets, no strategic diagrams... None of the secret treasures she speculated matched up. Lying quietly in the stone box, there was only a piece of broken stone that was covered in black ink and about the size of a woman's fist.

What? That’s it!

Just to find such a broken stone, she fought to the death with Ji Ciyue, and because of this, she asked Ye Xiuyu... No, the system is definitely not playing tricks on her in this secret treasure mission?!

Ji Ranyue thought of Ye Xiuyu's look at her while soaked in blood, and a burst of angry flames burned from the bottom of her heart, burning so hard that her blood seemed to explode inch by inch.

Behind the huge disappointment and anger was the guilt and guilt that she had suppressed for a long time.

"Hahaha, what Ji Ciyue and I have worked so hard to pursue is such a broken rock..."

So what does his death count for?

So what is the chance of rebirth that she gained through a hundred years of free trade?

Is it a joke?

She picked up the broken stone in the box and was about to throw it against the stone wall.

"Host, don't-" The system sound stopped suddenly, as if it was forcibly cut off by something.

Ji Ranyue's throwing motion froze in mid-air for a moment. She did not see the blood stains in her hands that had not stopped, and seeped into the seemingly irregular texture on the surface of the stone bit by bit, as if it had been swallowed up.

Immediately, there was a stabbing pain in her brain, and her whole body felt as if her soul had been drained out. Her eyes were blurred, she stumbled, and fell to the mud, unconscious.

"Lord!" Bai Qi, who had finished explaining the follow-up finishing work, walked along the corridor and was about to take Ji Ranyue back to the village when he saw this unexpected incident without any recruitment.

He dodged and came to Ji Ranyue's side, picked her up from the soil, and checked her breathing and pulse. Her breathing was steady and her pulse was smooth, which was very normal.

"My lord, my lord..." Bai Qi muttered in secret, feeling offended, and raised his palms to pat her cheeks. A few red marks instantly appeared on her delicate and fair face, but she didn't wake up.

"There's something wrong with that stone."

When something unexpected happened, Wu Zetian saw a man breaking in and couldn't see his face clearly, so he quickly protected Shangguan Wan'er and Cai Yan behind him. After confirming that the man was a card character like them, he gave a reminder

road.
