Chapter 1191 - 1237: Entering a Perilous Place
The ancient architecture actually had mechanisms in it, and whoever crafted these mechanisms was definitely a master hand. Even without knowing how many years had passed, the mechanisms inside were still effective. As soon as Xu Shanshan and her group entered, they were met with a barrage of dense crossbow bolts.
If it weren’t for Xu Shanshan’s quick reaction, I’m afraid all ten people would have been wiped out on the spot. Even so, two people were still injured.
Continuing further inside only led to dangers lurking at every turn, overwhelming any defense. At this time, any electronic device was useless; only the powerful Innate Vital Energy like Xu Shanshan’s was able to respond.
Although it was so dangerous, no one backed down. The more dangerous it was, the more it proved the immense value of the treasures here. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many formidable traps.
Finally, they reached the deepest part where there was a vast hall. Under the flashlight’s illumination, everyone’s eyes dazzled at once because the hall was filled with a massive cache of jewels; it was a huge treasure trove.
No one here had ever seen so many treasures; it seemed that just taking a single piece at random could be worth over a hundred thousand. With so much at stake, they might be worth billions.
Working as mercenaries was for the money, and seeing so many valuables, which heart wouldn’t be swayed? The two employers were ecstatic, dancing with joy. Everyone got so excited they forgot about the danger and rushed over.
Xu Shanshan was stunned by these jewels too. What girl wouldn’t like them? Xu Shanshan was no exception, so her brain temporarily froze. By the time she came around, the others had already dashed over.
Xu Shanshan was alarmed and urgently called for them to come back, but it was already too late. The entire ground suddenly collapsed, plunging everyone and the jewels downward.
Xu Shanshan rotated her True Qi, ferociously stomped on the falling ground beneath her, and desperately lunged towards the entrance.
