Chloe and Tesla held torches and walked slowly toward the depths of the cave. "Look at the reliefs on the cave walls here. They are all made of pure silver, haha."
Her eyes were completely attracted by these.
Tesla shook his head, "Chloe, no one has ever said that you are too persistent?"
Chloe disagreed, "Aren't you the same?"
Compared to her obsession with treasure, Tesla's obsession with science was even more fanatical.
Tesla looked at Chloe seriously, "Chloe, you know, I don't know you at all."
Chloe smiled calmly, "Are you referring to my identity?"
She quickened her pace, "The explorer, the globally wanted jewel thief, the mysterious rich woman, poor woman, do you want to know these?"
Tesla followed up, "No, I mean, where does your enthusiasm for learning come from."
Chloe stopped and looked at Tesla steadily.
Tesla waved to Chloe to continue walking, "You have amazing talents in geography, archeology, and language."
Chloe was all smiles as she walked along.
Tesla continued, "Obviously, these are not just for gemological skills."
Chloe burst into laughter, "Haha, Tesla, I feel honored to hear you say that. Few people think that besides my sense of self-protection, I have other merits worthy of praise."
Unfortunately, Tesla's attention at this time has shifted from Chloe to a certain cave wall.
But Chloe continued unconsciously, "I don't mean that I really have it, but..."
"Ah..." However, she had just walked not far ahead when she suddenly screamed, stepped on a pit, and fell instantly.
Tesla was shocked and rushed over in a hurry, "Chloe!"
He saw that what Chloe stepped on was a hollow trap that was very large and deep inside, but the one that sank into the top was very small. It was camouflaged and appeared to be very hidden.
What made him horrified was that there were a lot of stump-like knives underneath the trap, with the tips of the knives pointing upwards. At this time, Chloe fell on the knives, and several sharp knives pierced Chloe's body.
.
Although the tip of the knife did not penetrate Chloe's vitals, it was enough to cause Chloe to be seriously injured and bleed profusely.
"Uh..." Chloe twitched.
Tesla was horrified on the roof of the cave, "Chloe, Chloe...Chloe, up there!"
Chloe's eyes focused, "What, what's going on?"
Tesla stretched the torch as far inside as possible, "You have fallen into a trap, can you move? Be careful!"
Chloe moved, "Oh, damn, no!"
Tesla quickly stopped him, "Forget it, don't move for now. Do you feel your toes again?"
Chloe still wanted to struggle to get up, but found that it was in vain, "Huhu, I'm conscious again, but I can't move."
Tesla looked around the trap space, "I can't save you by myself."
Chloe was in disbelief, "What?"
Tesla was helpless, "Okay, just wait, I'll go back and find other people to help, and I'll come back as soon as possible."
Chloe was desperate, "Don't worry about me, I can't go anywhere."
Tesla got up, turned around and ran outside.
He didn't know the extent of Chloe's injuries, and was afraid that if the delay lasted for a long time, Chloe might bleed to death.
But he didn't know that when he rushed out of the cave, the statues he thought were carved on the cave wall suddenly came to life and walked off the wall.
And when these statues' eyes turned red and they walked off the wall, the statues on the cave wall were still there.
At this time, Chloe in the trap still did not give up on saving herself.
She held the sharp knife that pierced her body with her backhand, gathered enough strength, and pulled it out suddenly, "Ahem..."
This time, it seemed that she had exhausted all her strength.
She gasped for breath for a long time, then gathered strength again, raised her arm suddenly, and pulled out the other one from the tip of the knife, "Ouch..."
After her body finally escaped from the forest of knives, she didn't take any breath, but dragged herself to the cave wall on the side of the trap with all her strength.
At this time, she had a chance to breathe heavily.
Leaning against the cave wall, Chloe suddenly discovered that there was a human-shaped void just below the position where she fell into the trap;
And next to her feet, there was a human head and bones, "I think I would like to thank you instead for blocking a few nails for me."
The withered bones of this head are covered with spider webs, showing that it is very old.
Obviously, there was someone who fell into the trap before her. He blocked the first wave for her and used his body to smash holes in the forest of knives, allowing Chloe to survive.
Chloe dealt with the wound on her arm, "Oh, I'm really unlucky today."
Then, she threw the dirty blood on her hands to the ground.
But what she didn't see was that when her blood seeped into the soil below and the metal of the sword forest, there were strange ripples there.
At the same time, in a passage under the trap, a dark figure was slowly walking out...
Inside the tower.
Mai Ziwen took the simple wooden ladder he had made and handed it to Tesla, "Who knows how to build roads in the jungle?"
Tesla returned to the tower as quickly as possible to report the news.
He took the wooden ladder, carried it up and left, "You asked well, the ancient temple built from the river to the cave must be an important place."
Hannah carried the cable and followed closely, "It's hard to believe that this trap was left for us a thousand years ago."
Fan Li followed with weapons and equipment, "The sooner we rescue Chloe, the better."
Mai Ziwen also took a lot of equipment, "You mean, with her here, those poor beasts will definitely die."
They raced against time and rushed towards the mysterious cave...
At this time, Chloe was still leaning on the wall of the trap, but she was not idle.
She wants to save herself.
She first found the torch she had lost in the trap, lit it, and then looked for some flammable materials nearby. "Is there any more unlucky day than this?"
The bonfire is lit.
However, at this moment, a woman's voice suddenly came from the passage inside the trap: "Indeed, Keyin, you are already bad enough."
"Hiss..." Chloe was frightened and hurriedly pulled out her pistol, "Who is there? Come out right away!"
When the black figure walked out of the dark passage, Chloe was shocked, "Aduo?"
It was a woman about the same age as Chloe, and Chloe knew her.
Chloe couldn't help lowering the muzzle of the gun.
The woman walked up to Chloe and looked down at her, "Ke Yin, it's been a long time, hasn't it?"
The name she called Chloe was actually another completely unfamiliar name.
Chloe actually acquiesced, "I thought... you died ten years ago."
The woman A'duo wondered, "If that were true, would you be afraid?"
Chloe laughed, "Afraid of my best friend?"
Immediately, her expression changed, "Oh no, it's easy to explain. I'm hallucinating. Maybe I'm going to die!"
