On the command platform of the Yuwenhua and Zhuoli battleships, you can see both sides of the canal.
At this time, it was still dark, and under the light of the five giant ships, the stars and moon in the sky were eclipsed, which seemed to indicate the rise of the Yuwen Clan, which caused the southern nobles to lose their former glory.
Yu Wenhua is about thirty years old. He is tall and thin, with slender hands and feet, an ancient face, and a cold expression. His eyes are deep and unpredictable, giving people a cold and ruthless impression, but he also has a shocking domineering air.
.
These five warships were built under the personal supervision of Yang Su, the founding minister of the Sui Dynasty. They were named the Five-Toothed Ships. Their decks had five floors and were twelve feet high. Each ship could accommodate 800 warriors.
The five-masted canvas sails were fully unfurled, and the fleet headed towards Jiangdu downstream of the canal at a speed as fast as a galloping horse.
Yu Wenhua's eyes fell on the roof of the palace rising from the trees on the bank. It was one of the more than 40 palaces built along the river by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty just a few years ago.
After Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty came to the throne, he unified the north with the south and ordered people to dig canals to connect the north and south. There were practical needs both in military and economic terms. However, large-scale construction projects were carried out, palaces were built, and willows were planted along the river.
It's a waste of money and people.
Zhang Shihe, his confidant standing behind him, said respectfully: "We can reach Jiangdu before dawn. If the manager can obtain the "Secret of Immortality" and present it to the emperor during this trip, it will be a great achievement."
An unfathomable smile escaped from the corner of Yu Wenhuaji's mouth, and he said lightly: "The Holy One is obsessed with the immortality technique of Taoist alchemy. It is really amazing. If there is such a magic technique, there should be immortal people long ago, but even if
Looking at the Taoist sages, no one can escape death. If this book is not woven with black gold thread and is invulnerable to water and fire, we can just find someone to make a fake copy and hide it."
Zhang Shihe said with a smile: "The Holy One has been conducting secret investigations for more than ten years, and only then did he find out that this book was in the hands of Shi Long, the "mountain pusher" who is known as the best master in Yangzhou. It's ridiculous that Shi Long hoped to get the book and not die, but he was killed because of it.
It is extremely ironic to die."
Yu Wenhuaji snorted coldly and read Shilong's name in a low voice.
The blood in his body immediately boiled.
Over the years, due to his high position and authority, he has rarely interacted with others.
Now the opportunity finally comes -
Jiao Xie, the general under King Mantian Wangxubamo, led more than a dozen of his highly skilled men to gallop along the Yangtze River, shattering the tranquility along the river bank.
Wang Xuba was the leader of a rebellious militia that wanted to challenge the Sui Emperor, and he was quite powerful.
Since Yang Guang ascended the throne, he has made many expeditions to foreign lands because of his great achievements. He has also been extravagant and extravagant. He has built palaces and villas, patrolled the country, and levied exorbitant taxes, which has made the people miserable. There have been many thieves and heroes from all over the country.
He rose up and proclaimed himself king. The Sui Dynasty no longer had the grandeur of the founding of the country.
In the darkness before dawn, Yangzhou City, which was designated as Jiangdu County by the Sui Dynasty, stood on the upper reaches of the river. The riverside pier outside the city was filled with ships of all sizes and lit with lights. There was an indescribable desolation in the prosperity.
smell!
But Jiao Xie's mind was tightly tied to the ancient jade engraved with the word "Long Live" in his arms.
It was the famous portable jade belonging to Shi Wansui, the founding general of the Sui Dynasty. In the past, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian believed in slander and deposed the crown prince Yang Yong in favor of Yang Guang. Shi Wansui died unjustly because of the implication, and it was the minister Yang Su who raided his house.
Yang Su was the most influential official at that time. He was invincible with his campaigns in the south and north, and his achievements were so great that he was deeply suspicious of Emperor Wen.
Yang Su himself was not easy to deal with. He conspired to rebel and hoarded weapons, food and wealth. However, Yang Su soon died of illness and Emperor Wen killed all his followers overnight, but Yang Su's treasure trove was never found.
Since then, there have been rumors that whoever can find Yang Gong's treasure can rule the world.
Now that Baoyu was born, it became an important clue to trace the treasure house.
Seven days ago, someone pawned this jade at a pawnshop in Danyang. When Wang Xuba heard the news, he immediately sent out his manpower to trace the jade for hundreds of miles and finally identified the target person.
The only puzzling thing is that if the pawner gets the treasure house, he can pawn other items. Why is it this famous jade that can easily reveal the secret of the treasure house?
At this moment, Jiao Xie became alert and looked toward the canal connected to the river. He happened to see the dark shadows and lights of the five five-toothed ships that seemed to be rowing on land.
Jiao Xie was stunned and quickly raised his hand to issue an order, leading his men away from the river bank and into the dense forest beside the bank.
In an abandoned manor overgrown with weeds in the east of Yangzhou City, most of the buildings have long since collapsed due to disrepair, wind erosion, and ants and insects. There is only a small stone house huddled in a corner, with holes in the tiles.
The roof is boarded up and can barely be used as a shelter.
In the darkness of the room, there was a groan, followed by the sound of rubbing bodies turning.
A voice with a childlike voice sounded, calling out in a low voice: "Xiao Ling! Xiao Ling! Does it still hurt?"
After another groan, another young man's voice responded: "Damn Boss Yan, every punch can kill you, ugh!
If you find genuine goods next time, don't change money at that shop. They are mean and underpriced, and you have to tell Boss Yan that the thief will be beaten and kicked even if he even tries to hide half of it."
The speakers were two young gangsters who stayed in this shabby house. Their parents and family were killed by thieves while fleeing the war, and they became orphans without fathers and mothers.
The two boys met by chance, had the same spirit, and became dependent on each other, becoming more in love than brothers.
The older one, Kou Zhong, is seventeen years old this year, and the younger one, Xu Ziling, has just turned sixteen.
In the darkness, Kou Zhong got up on the mat and went to the side of Xu Ziling. He said comfortingly: "As long as I don't beat him until his limbs are disabled, let him say that the boss is a treacherous ghost and he wants to drink us. Hey! Drink us."
Yangzhou Shuanglong is a sucker, as long as we grab two more handfuls of silver, Panchuan will be able to abandon the dark side and join the rebel army."
Xu Ziling lay slumped on the ground, stroking his jaw that was still burning with pain, and asked: "How much is the difference? I really don't want to see Yan Laoyan's treacherous look again."
Kou Zhong was a little embarrassed and said: "Hey! We still need two and a half, a total of twenty-five baht."
Xu Ziling sat up in astonishment and lost his voice: "Didn't you say it was still two and a half? Why did it suddenly become two and a half?"
Kou Zhong sighed and said, "Actually, it's not important how much money we owe. The most terrible thing is that Peng Xiao failed to live up to his expectations and was taken care of by the officers and soldiers in just two or three strikes."
Then he became excited again, hugged Xu Ziling's shoulders tightly and said: "Don't worry, when I went to Chunfeng Tower to steal something to eat last night, I heard people say that the most powerful person now is Li Zitong, and he has many powerful generals, among them Bai Xin and Qin Chaowen
They are all top martial arts masters, and recently they conquered another rebel army led by Zuo Xiaoyou, making them more powerful."
Xu Ziling said suspiciously: "Didn't you say before that the most powerful one was Peng Xiaocai, and then it was Yang Gongqing's turn who had raided Yang Guang's army? Why did Li Zitong suddenly come out? What else did you say about Li Hongzhi?
Hu Liumiao, Wang Deren, etc., what roles do they play?"
Kou Zhong obviously couldn't answer his question. After hesitating for a while, he apologized and said with a smile: "We are two brothers in the same generation. If you don't believe me, who do you believe? How could I point you to a dark road? From my perspective, you can definitely choose it."
The most promising rebel army will conquer the world in the future. With the virtue and talent of my two brothers, I, Kou Zhong, the youngest can be a prime minister, and you will definitely be a general."
Xu Ziling laughed miserably and said, "He's just a boss, but he beats us until we can't get up. How can he be a general with virtue and talent?"
Kou Zhong Fenran said: "That's why I force you to eavesdrop on Old Master Bai's lectures and teachings every day, and go to the big tree next to Shilong's martial arts training ground to peek and secretly learn kung fu. Virtue, honor, and talent are all cultivated, we will definitely
If you want to get ahead, at least go back to Yangzhou and become a state official, then Boss Yan will be in trouble."
Xu Ziling frowned and said, "I'm so injured right now. Can Old Master Bai do that boring morning class tomorrow?"
After Kou Zhong was silent for two times, he gave way and said, "I'll let you go tomorrow, but you have to prepare the morning meal. I want to eat the vegetable buns made by Sister Zhen's good hands."
Xu Ziling groaned and lay back on the mat.
Due to the unrest in the world, thieves and robbers are everywhere, and everyone is in danger. The first place to prosper is the more than ten martial arts schools and dojos in the city.
In terms of scale and prestige, the Shilong Martial Arts Center was founded by the top master in Yangzhou - Tui Shanshou - Shi Long.
In the past ten years, Shi Long has rarely gone to the gym to manage affairs, and all business has been handled by his disciples. However, because his name is on the martial arts field, people from far and near still come here in droves.
Shilong's internal and external skills have reached the level of a first-class master, otherwise how could he have maintained his reputation for decades.
This person is good at Taoism by nature. He is single and does not marry. He lives alone in a small farmyard on the outskirts of the city without leaving home. His disciples regularly send people to bring him the necessary daily necessities. He spends his whole day studying the Taoist secrets.
"Secret of Longevity".
According to oral traditions passed down through the ages, this book came from Guangchengzi, the teacher of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times. It was written in oracle bone inscriptions. It is profound and difficult to decipher. Although there are many wise people who have read this book among the sages, no one has ever been able to understand it and decipher the whole book. The whole book.
There are a total of 7,400 glyphs, but only more than 3,000 glyphs have been deciphered.
The book is also densely packed with annotations from people who have read the book, but they are often more confusing than the original text.
Fortunately, there are seven figures of human figures in the book, none of which are facing each other, and are guided by various symbols such as red dots, arrows, etc. It seems to be describing some kind of cultivation method, but those who are not familiar with its meaning may not practice it.
, if you forcefully activate your inner Qi according to one of these symbols, your Qi and blood will immediately boil, and you will become obsessed with it, which is extremely dangerous.
Shi Long had been reading this book day and night for three years, but still got nothing. It was like a treasure in front of him, but no key to the door.
When I started meditating that day, I suddenly felt a warning sign in my heart. I couldn't concentrate on the book. While I was meditating, I heard a dry cough coming from outside the court gate.
Shi Long hurriedly put the book into his arms, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and he sighed and said: "We are a distinguished guest. Please come in and have a cup of hot tea!"
Only when the other party comes to the door, you can feel it, and you will know that the person coming has reached the level of a first-level master.
At this time, Jiao Xie came to a dense forest in the northern suburbs of the city. He and his attendants jumped off their horses, spread out their movements, walked through the woods, and climbed to a small hill, where they could overlook a dilapidated temple below.
Two subordinates appeared, and one of them whispered in Jiao Xie's ear: "Dianzi stayed in the temple all night and didn't leave the temple in the middle of the night. He seems to be waiting for someone."
Jiao Xie groaned for a moment and issued an order.
All the men dispersed and sneaked into all directions of the ruined temple, forming a siege.
Jiao Xie then flew down, arrived in front of the door, and said loudly: "-The Mantian King - under the banner of - the deadly knife - Jiao Xie, by the order of the King of Heaven, I want to ask the girl something."
"boom!"
The already broken temple door turned into pieces and exploded. At the same time, a woman appeared at the door.
Jiao Xie was stunned when he thought that the other party's reaction was both fast and fierce. He pressed his hand on the hilt of the deadly knife that had helped him kill enemies many times.
The woman was dressed in a snow-white warrior uniform, and she stood with her sword in hand.
A bamboo hat was placed on her head to protect her from the sun, and a heavy gauze hung down to cover her pretty face above her lips. However, only the chin was exposed, which made people conclude that she was a rare beauty.
This woman is quite tall, with a proud attitude that stands out from the crowd. She is slim and slim, and her figure is indescribably beautiful.
What is particularly impressive is a small mole like a dot of paint at the corner of her mouth, which adds to her mysterious beauty.
Jiao Xie was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. Just as he was about to speak, a voice that sounded better than the sound of an immortal came out from the woman's lips and said, "You are finally here."
Jiao Xie was startled, and temporarily forgot about Yang Gong's treasure, and asked in surprise: "Is the girl waiting for us?"
The woman in white had an extremely charming smile on her lips, and said softly: "I'm waiting for someone to come and test the sword for me!"
"Qiang!"
The woman drew her blade out of its sheath, and the cold sword energy swept over Jiao Xie.
Jiao Xie has spent most of his life wandering around in the rivers and lakes, and has become extremely experienced. Just from the way the opponent draws his sword, he knows that he is encountering the most terrifying swordsman he has ever encountered in his life. The one who dared to raise his voice gave a wild shout, stepped back and drew his sword, and at the same time issued an order.
The subordinates of the church showed up and besieged him.
This was the first time he had encountered a ruthless character who had no grudges against each other, but who was ready to kill at the first sight.
The woman's clothes were flying all over her body, and her sword's light was rising sharply.
A fierce murderous aura immediately filled the entire place.
Jiao Xie knew that he must not let the opponent get the upper hand, so he shouted loudly, and the person followed the knife and turned into the shadow of a rolling hob, rushing towards the opponent.
At this time, all the subordinates came to help.
The woman in white made a charming sound, rose up diagonally, flew over Jiao Xie's head, and slashed with lightning from her long sword.
"when!"
Swords clash.
An irresistible force penetrated the knife, and Jiao Xie's chest felt like it was struck by lightning. Unable to bear the momentum, Jiao Xie staggered back.
Such a face-to-face encounter was a big loss. This was the first time Jiao Xie had tasted it, so he knew how domineering the sword power of the woman in white was.
The woman in white tumbled through the air and landed between the two big men who had just arrived on the battlefield. She whirled her sword and flew away. The two men spun and fell away, unable to get up again.
All the big men were licking the blood with their swords and eager to fight bravely. However, they aroused their ferocity and pounced on them regardless of their own safety.
The woman in white snorted coldly, and transformed into hundreds of sword shadows. She advanced and retreated calmly amidst the fierce attacks of the men like a ghost. Everywhere the blade was, someone always fell down and died.
No matter where the wound is, the person who is hit by the sword will be killed by the sword, and his internal organs will be shattered by the sword energy and he will die.
When Jiao Xie regained his breath, only four of his men were still struggling to support him, and they couldn't help but rush to him with their blood boiling.
The last of his men fell to the ground.
The sword glowed again, entangled with Jiao Xie's deadly knife.
Jiao Xie tried his best to block the sixth sword, but the deadly sword made of fine steel was cut in half by the opponent's sword.
Jiao Xie was so horrified that he threw the broken hilt of the knife at the opponent as a hidden weapon, and at the same time raised his breath and retreated hastily.
Amidst the sweet laughter, the woman spun around, not only dodging the broken hilt of the knife that was shot towards her, but she also threw the long sword away.
Jiao Xie clearly watched the sword flying towards him, and thought of various ways to dodge, but when the sword penetrated his body, he was still unable to make any life-saving reaction.
After the woman in white withdrew the sword blade from Jiao Xie's body, she drifted away as if she had done something insignificant.
"If you are successful, you can help the world, and if you are poor, you can stand on your own. Brother Shi really has a wishful thinking. He can advance and attack, retreat and defend. He can explain his actions with peace of mind no matter what. I admire him deeply.
"
Shi Long knew that the other party was mocking himself by reading out the inscription he had hung in the hall. He was very well-educated and was not angry. He still sat in his chair and said calmly: "It turns out that he is an outstanding master of the Yuwen clan, one of the four surnames today.
, Brother Yuwen, isn't he busy serving His Majesty? Why do you have such a leisurely mood to visit us and other foreigners?
Yu Wenhuaji clasped his hands behind his back and walked into the hall as if walking. He glanced around first, and finally landed on the face of Shi Long, who was sitting firmly like a mountain. He sighed: "Brother Shi, it's not that tiring, you have gained the opportunity to practice Taoism."
This is a treasure book of longevity that is envied by all scholars, but it is not presented to the Holy One, causing him to feel displeased. As a person with a salary, I can only do a small errand to see if Brother Shi is a knowledgeable person."
Shilong's heart screamed fiercely.
He was also the first person to come into contact with Yuwen Clan.
The Yuwen family is most famous for its leader Yuwen Shang, followed by the four masters. Among them, Yu Wenhuaji, who became the chief guard of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, is the most well-known among people in the world. It is said that he is the third master after Yuwen Shang.
A person who has mastered the secret skill passed down from his family - Bing Xuan Jin - can't believe that he looks so young and looks like he is no more than thirty years old.
Since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, one of the characteristics has been the powerful clans developed from generations of noble families, sometimes called high families or clans, which are clearly distinguished from the common people's common clans.
As the saying goes - there is no poor family in the upper class, and there is no powerful family in the lower class.
No matter economically or politically, the gentry enjoyed great privileges. It was not until the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, who unified the world and appointed officials through the imperial examination, that the monopoly of all clans was slightly broken.
However, the power of the clan still remains. The famous four clan clans refer to the four major clans with the surnames Yuwen, Li, Dugu and Song. They have huge influence in politics, economy and even martial arts.
Among the four surnames, only the Song surname belongs to a prominent southern family and adheres to the authentic Han descent. The other three surnames, because they are located in the north, are deeply Hu-Chinese. The Yuwen surname itself is even more Hu-born, but it has been integrated into the culture of China and is not
Treated as an outsider.
Although Shi Long's thoughts were racing, he was calm on the surface and said calmly: "Shi is used to being wild and has never understood the way of flattery. He is also a soft-spoken person who doesn't take hard advice.
If we burn everything together and destroy the book, wouldn't Brother Yuwen be able to deliver a message to his master at that time?"
The two started to argue with each other and refused to be nice, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
After Yu Wenhuaji looked at Shi Long for a while, he said in surprise: "If Brother Shi can destroy the treasure book, then this book must not be Guangchengzi's "Secret of Immortality". It would not be a big deal if it was destroyed, but Brother Shi is the
This attitude is harmful to the students of your Taoist temple. It may also harm their parents and children. Aren't both Taoist and Buddhist families focused on accumulating virtue and doing good deeds? Brother Shi seems to be going against this purpose!"
Listening to his threatening tone, Shi Long knew that what he said was true. Finally, his face changed slightly. At this moment when his mind was slightly distracted, Yu Wenhuaji immediately took action and punched him from the air.
The heat had just passed the day before yesterday, and the weather was hot, but Yu Wenhua just took action, and the air in the hall immediately became extremely cold. If Shilong hadn't been a master of internal energy, his teeth would be shaking.
But he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
Ordinary masters would clearly create a fist wind when they punch, attacking the enemy. But the cold force from Yu Wenhuaji's punch seemed to be non-existent, as if the air around him was all gone. He moved forward, squeezing Shilong from all directions. The helpless feeling of not knowing which target to counterattack was the most terrible.
Shi Long was still sitting on the chair, his clothes all bulging.
"Peng!"
The pneumatic collision formed a vortex, with Shi Long as the center, surging in all directions. The nearby furniture, tables and chairs were tossed and broken like fallen leaves swept by the wind, and rolled to all directions. In the end, only Shi Long was left, sitting alone in the center of the hall.
Yu Wenhuaji's face looked surprised and he put away his fists.
Shi Long's old face was brushed with a trace of red clouds, and then faded away.
Yu Wenhuaji laughed and said: "As expected of the number one person in Yangzhou, he blocked my punch purely by relying on his body-protecting Qi. Just because of this, let me, Yu Wenji, persuade me more nicely. After publishing the treasure book and hiding my name from now on, I can think of it as a comrade in the world and give Brother Shi a break. This is a good intention rather than a malicious one. Life, honor, death and disgrace can be decided by Brother Shi with just one word."
Shi Long felt an extremely ridiculous feeling in his heart.
After getting this Taoist treasure "Secret of Immortality", I thought about it all over my head, but still got nothing. My mood was not as free and peaceful as before the book. Now I have offended the current emperor for this book, and even made the emperor Taking the opportunity to kill his disciples and even disbanding all the local martial arts schools to eliminate the armed forces in the area, is this the "evil of cherishing treasures"?
Of course, he would not be stupid enough to believe that Yu Wenhuaji would let him go because he was willing to hand over the "Secret of Immortality". With Yang Guang's violence, he would let him go.
Just now he had a move with Yu Wenhua, and he had figured out that the opponent's "Bing Xuan Jin" was actually a strange and incomparable whirling force. Compared with the ordinary straight force, it was much harder to predict and prevent, but he knew it. , he still has no way to crack it.
Shi Long is a well-known figure in the world. At this moment, he became cruel and decided not to let the treasure book fall into Yang Guang's hands even if he risked his life.
Otherwise, with the talented people under Yang Guang, they might be able to decipher all the oracle bone inscriptions in the book, master the key to immortality, and become an immortal tyrant. Then Shi Long would not be able to escape the blame for his death.
Shi Long looked up to the sky and laughed. After saying hello twice, he shook his head and sighed: "This book is not for those who are destined to get it, and it will be useless and harmful to get it. If Brother Yuwen has the ability, he can take this book back and give it to the faint king to read. However, If he is killed by reading, don't blame me, Shilong, for not warning me first."
While talking, he used all his strength.
His ears immediately picked up all the subtle noises within a ten-foot radius, including the sound of insects and ants scurrying around. Immediately he heard the soft and slender breathing of more than a dozen people, indicating that the people surrounding him were all masters of both internal and external skills. .
Yu Wenhuaji looked up at the large beam in the middle of the hall, and said with a sigh, "Brother Shi is not only ignorant, but he is also stubborn and incompetent. However, since it is not easy for Brother Shi to become famous, I, Yu Wenji, will let you gather your skills so that you can make great achievements." With a full blow, Brother Shi was blinded to death."
Shilong suddenly flew up from the seat, flew across the space of ten feet without moving, and arrived in front of Yu Wenhuaji in the blink of an eye. He pushed forward with both palms, and with crazy energy, he immediately rushed towards the opponent like a violent tide.
At the same time, the chair he was sitting on was torn apart and scattered on the ground, indicating that when the two of them fought just now, Shi Long had already suffered a big loss and could not stop Yu Wenhuaji's Bing Xuanjin, which affected the chair.
Yu Wenhua and his eyes flashed with lightning, and he was greatly surprised. Shi Long knew that his pushing Qigong was no match for his Bing Xuan Jin, so why did he leave no room for maneuver when he launched his attack, and resorted to a head-on confrontation?
But at this time, he had no time to think too much. In the battle between masters, victory or defeat was only decided by a thin line. Although he was confident that he could defeat Shi Long, if he lost the opportunity, it would still be very difficult to come back, and he would be defeated at every turn.
Risk of death. Those who dare to hesitate will take three steps back, and then when they rush forward, they hit Shi Long's palms with two fists.
"boom!"
The energy collided and vented upwards, causing the tiles on the roof to fly off and create a big hole.
With the power of Yu Wenhua, Shilongzhan was still forced to move back with his mountain-pushing palm across the rivers and lakes, so as to relieve the astonishing pressure.
Shilong was even worse, staggering back.
Yu Wenhua made a small circle without touching the ground with his feet, and then accelerated again. Lightning caught up with Shilong before he hit the wall behind him, and shot him in the air.
A swirling force bypassed Shi Long's body and hit his vest. The angle was so wonderful that it was astonishing.
Shilong opened his mouth and spat out, and a blood arrow shot out quickly, stabbing Yu Wenhua and his chest.
At the same time, he arched his back and withstood Yu Wenhua and his Ice Xuan Jin.
Yu Wenhua didn't expect Shi Long to have such a self-destructive trick, so he hurriedly stopped his body, hung his waist and leaned back, narrowly avoiding the bloody arrow with just a hair's breadth.
When Shi Long secretly cried out for pity, his whole body was shaken violently, and his protective energy was shattered. Dozens of extremely cold ice energy invaded his body through his vest.
Shi Long knew whether he could keep the "Secret of Immortality", so he decided at this moment to use the miraculous ability to activate his potential. He shouted wildly, resisted the force pulling him forward, and accelerated towards the back wall.
What kind of person is Yu Wenhuaji? Seeing this situation, he immediately knew something was wrong. When he straightened his body again, he gathered ten of his power and punched him in the air.
But it was already a step too late.
Shilong's back hit the back wall, and a trap door immediately flipped him inside.
"broken!"
The trap door fell apart, revealing another small room, but the stone dragon was nowhere to be seen.
Yu Wenhuaji calmly threw himself on the ground and put his ear to the ground. The sound of the stone dragon rushing wildly in the tunnel immediately reached his ears.
