"Here." Cousin Ming opened up the area covered by grass on the mountain wall, revealing a raised stone with a similar color to the mountain wall.
The turning stone secret door opened with a bang.
The secret passage inside the stone gate was narrow, allowing only three people to pass through it side by side. Nangong Jin ordered his 5,000 imperial guards to wait outside, and upon hearing his signal, they would all attack the stone gate together.
He, Tuo Li, Mo Zihan, Yi Wuchen, Leng Feng and more than a hundred killers from the Ming Hall entered the stone gate.
Five thousand Nanyang Imperial Guards surrounded this small cave, and there were fifteen thousand Imperial Guards waiting below. It was expected that the people inside would be unable to fly even with wings.
The soldiers waited outside responsibly. Everyone's attention was focused on the figure that had long since disappeared inside the stone gate. No one spoke, and everyone was almost holding their breath to make sure that the emperor did not send a signal to attack them.
But they didn't notice that just when they focused all their attention on the cave, the scenery around them had changed a lot.
In the place where trees were already densely shaded and blocking out the sun, the number of trees suddenly doubled. In a short period of time, they had already doubled in size, forming an airtight wall surrounding the place guarded by five thousand imperial guards.
powerful.
A soldier suddenly felt his hands itching. He lowered his head and saw that the grass that had only reached his ankles had grown to his waist without knowing it, and was still growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"There's something wrong with this grass!" the soldier shouted.
When other soldiers heard this soldier calling, they immediately discovered the grass that had grown up to their waists.
"It's not just the grass that has a problem, the trees also have a problem."
"No, we are surrounded and can't get out!"
The soldiers discovered strange things here one after another.
They were all elite soldiers who went into battle to kill the enemy. Because of their significant meritorious service, they were assigned to the imperial city and became the Imperial Guards that everyone respected.
The Imperial Guards, who were fearless about life and death, all changed their expressions when they saw such a strange situation.
"Your Majesty, come out quickly, there is an ambush inside!"
"Emperor, princess, come out quickly, there are monsters here!"
The soldiers shouted and tried to break through the gaps between the trees.
The trees here were originally dense, but they could be passed through at will. But at some point, there were almost no gaps between the trees.
The soldiers came to a place where the gap was relatively large, and a dozen soldiers tried to climb over the gap here.
Since the gap was too high, it was difficult to climb out, so everyone decided to work together.
The people below set up a ladder and let the brothers with good martial arts climb up first.
An agile soldier quickly came to the gap. There was enough space for one person to squeeze through sideways.
The soldier squeezed towards the gap almost without thinking.
But the gap that was originally large enough for a person to pass by suddenly became smaller when the soldier squeezed his body in.
"No, the trees are getting thicker!"
The soldiers who were about to squeeze outside were suddenly stuck by a tree. In shock, they pulled back and yelled in fear.
"ah--"
Before the brothers below had time to think about what was going on, there was another scream.
I saw that the trees were still growing thicker, and the comrades who had just squeezed themselves among the trees were completely stuck in the middle of the trees.
