C967 Trapped Underground



C967 Trapped Underground

Fann Binn nodded in understanding. The Five Dragons Clan, the Black Water race that the minorities in the mountains called. To them, sometimes it was better to live in other people's hearts. It would be more mysterious. However, it had to be said that the Five Dragons Clan was indeed very powerful. Every clansman seemed to have to undergo rigorous martial arts training. The man had a robust body, and his body was full of strength. Naturally, no one could defeat such a race with cold weapons.    

    

After handing the phoenix jade to the Great Elder, the Great Elder let out a soft sigh. With a solemn expression, he walked to the front of the stone door. First, he silently recited a part of the native language that he did not understand, and then triggered a mechanism on the stone wall. Soon, everyone saw that on the stone wall next to the Great Elder, there was a groove that matched the Phoenix Jade.    

    

Fann Binn couldn't help frowning. It seemed that there must be a very complicated mechanical structure hidden inside the stone wall. Talent! He had to do all of this. How did the Five Dragons Clan do all of this? Could it be that this was a tribe that was familiar with machine-operated techniques?    

    

At this moment, the phoenix jade in the Great Elder's hand was steadily stuffed into the groove. It was very consistent, as if it was tailor-made. With a slight sound of metal rubbing against each other, the entire area around the stone door... Suddenly, one could feel a clear tremble! To be more precise, the ground was trembling!    

    

It turned out that the huge machine that opened the heavy stone door was actually built underground! With the analysis of the golden needle at the back of his head, Fann Binn had already roughly grasped the principle of opening the stone door. The Phoenix Jade was the key, and its power was underground. Through a series of complex mechanical operations, talent This huge machine that opened the stone door was actually invented and built by the people of the Five Dragons Clan who entered this place hundreds of years ago? This was truly inconceivable.    

    

However, the truth was that the heavy stone door was slowly pulled up from the bottom by a huge force. That kind of dull sound was enough to make people feel how heavy the stone door was.    

    

After about three to four minutes, the entire stone door was completely pulled up. In front of everyone's eyes, there was a stone staircase leading to the top that extended into the darkness in the distance.    

    

"Alright, I'll send you here. Have a safe journey." Speaking up to this point, the Great Elder hugged Lee Shiqi with some emotion and sighed. " Shiqi, from now on, you will live alone in the outside world. Father can no longer take care of you. You have to be careful. I can tell that Mr. Fann is not an ordinary person. I can feel more at ease if you follow him."    

    

"Dad..." Lee Shiqi's beautiful eyes also had some tears flashing, but since she had chosen this path, she would have to part with him in the end. She did not say anything and turned her head to walk out of the stone door. She quietly tried to stop her body from trembling.    

    

Suddenly, Fann Binn seemed to be touched. He also felt Lee Shiqi's helplessness and pity. She did not want to be saintess, but she had to accept the miserable ending that had been arranged. So she did not want to, so she had to leave this place.    

    

But if she left this place, she would never have any family members. This couldn't be a kind of pain that couldn't be helped. It was only at this moment that Lee Shiqi's high and mighty attitude was finally destroyed. She returned to being a wanderer who was about to leave her hometown... It was more realistic and also more like a mortal with seven emotions and six desires.    

    

After bidding farewell to the Great Elder and his son, Fann Binn, Yang Li, and Lee Shiqi continued to walk up the stone steps one by one. After walking for about ten minutes, they passed through an arched door. In an instant, they arrived at a spacious and elegant platform hall. Under the illumination of the torch, Fann Binn quickly realized that this hall actually looked more like a square. Because this hall was really a little too big.    

    

The entire hall looked majestic, but it was also very simple and concise. There were not many items or decorations. Other than the human-shaped statue facing the hall... Two lifelike dragon heads were carved on both sides of the four dragon pillars supporting the main hall.    

    

The dragon head on the left was a stone dragon head, and in the dragon head's wide open mouth... It was a straight path to the darkness. And the dragon head on the right was shining gold under the refraction of the torch light. Obviously, it was gold-plated. It looked much better than the stone dragon on the left. However, it was completely different from the dragon head on the left. Although the dragon's mouth was wide open, however, there was a tightly shut golden door that looked very tight.    

    

"This is the hall I was talking about. According to the records in the ancestral books, the left side of the stone dragon's mouth is the passage to the mountain, while the right side of the golden dragon's mouth is the place to go to the Holy Land. However, even the records in the ancient books do not mention what kind of key is needed to open this golden gate. Until now, the main clan has never been able to open it. No one knows what is inside." Lee Shiqi said, "Let's go. We will walk along the stone dragon mouth's passageway and we will be able to walk out of this passageway.    

    

Yang Li lightly nodded her head. Of course, she wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. Back to the outside world. However, just as she was about to call Fann Binn, who was beside her, she found that Fann Binn was staring at the magnificent statue in the center, frowning as if he was thinking about something.    

    

"Fann Binn?" Yang Li asked carefully, "What happened to you?"    

    

Fann Binn woke up from his thoughts and smiled helplessly. "I don't know why, but I feel like I have seen this statue somewhere before, but I can't remember it."    

    

"You have seen it before? Don't joke with me. This is the ancestor of Five Dragons Clan, the most respected leader of Five Dragons Clan. He is a figure from hundreds of years ago. How could you have seen him?" Lee Shiqi quickly denied Fann Binn's guess with a smile. He was a figure from hundreds of years ago. How could a modern person like Fann Binn have met him? This was simply impossible.    

    

"Is that so? That might be my misconception." Fann Binn shrugged with a smile and said to the two girls, "Let's go. We should go out earlier and be safe."    

    

After this short pause, the three of them once again entered the mouth of the stone dragon. They entered the narrow passage that had started to become narrow. The passageway had already become somewhat difficult to walk through since the beginning, even though it kept going up. There were no stone steps left. The only thing that they could do was to dig a few spots to support the three of them. This way, they could climb up along the passage.    

    

Among the three of them, Fann Binn and Lee Shiqi had both practiced martial arts. Naturally, their hands and feet were neat and nimble. Only Yang Li dragged her back and her movements were slow. The three of them climbed and stopped for an unknown period of time. Just when Yang Li was panting and could not take it anymore, they finally climbed to the flat area of the passageway.    

    

However, when Fann Binn climbed to the only flat area in the tunnel, but he was stunned by the scene in front of him. The entire tunnel in front of him was filled with broken rocks. It was completely blocked from advancing! Not only Fann Binn, even Lee Shiqi, who had climbed up after him, was completely dumbfounded. Her widened eyes revealed a look of disbelief!    

    

"Impossible... How could this be!!" Lee Shiqi could not help but let out a cry of despair as she cried out in pain. " The passageway collapsed and we were blocked. It's over... It's completely over!"    

    

Fann Binn knew what Lee Shiqi meant. It was exactly as she said, although he was very unwilling. But I have to admit that this passage that no one has walked in for more than a decade has collapsed... As for the reason, who could know? Who would want to know! The truth was right in front of them. The passageway had been completely blocked. The three of them had no way of returning to the mountain from here! What was even more painful was that the path back had been sealed by the stone door. The Great Elder had clearly said that they could not open the tightly shut stone door from the outside!    

    

There was no path in front of them, and the stone door was blocking their way from behind. It was impossible for them to return to the Five Dragons Clan. The three of them were truly trapped inside the mountain, and there was no exit. For a moment, the three of them were stunned speechless. They were all struck by an inexplicable fear, not knowing what to do...    

    

No one had expected that the only passageway leading to the outside world would actually collapse. Could it be that Fann Binn and the others were really going to starve to death in this passageway? Fann Binn's expression was somewhat dispirited. This time, even if he was a Divine Immortal, he wouldn't know what to do.    

    

Lee Shiqi quietly looked at the passageway that was filled with rocks. No one could see the expression on her face, which was covered by a veil. However, from her helpless and despairing eyes, one could see that she was in a very bad mood.    

    

No one wanted to die in vain. Yang Li covered her mouth and her helpless and shocked eyes became a little lost. She could not believe that everything in front of her was real.    

    

Just like that, the road was blocked. Was everything over for them? This death sentence, wasn't it a little too fast? Fann Binn sat on the ground and stared blankly at the blocked passageway in front of him. He suddenly said, "Now, we have to think of a way. Otherwise, we will really be trapped here. In less than three to five days, when the water and food on our bodies are used up... We're almost finished. Shiqi, Yang Li, let's dig these stones together and see. Maybe the blockage is not too long, let's open up some stones to see if we can pass."    

    

After hearing Fann Binn's words, Lee Shiqi and Yang Li naturally nodded their heads in agreement. This was their only chance and also their only chance to seize it! The three of them walked to the collapsed tunnel and used their hands to dig out the rocks and throw them to the side.    

    

The three of them dug with their hands alone. Naturally, their speed would not be very fast. But even so, two hours later, they still dug out a large area. However, as they dug deeper, Fann Binn's heart gradually sank. Because all kinds of signs indicated that the distance of the collapsed tunnel was not short. On the contrary, it was still very long. Basically, the three of them were the only ones who dug like this. It was probably already meaningless...    

    

It was unknown who stopped first, but the atmosphere of the three of them fell into a very strange silence. Fann Binn raised his head and sighed softly. He smiled bitterly and helplessly. " It seems like... we are really stuck in this mountain. I didn't expect that we would be able to leave the mountain smoothly. But in the end..."    

    

" How could this be... We survived a great disaster, but in the end, we still encountered this kind of thing. Fann Binn, does the heavens want us to die?" Yang Li really felt like she was about to collapse. After experiencing life and death, life became even more precious, but who would have thought that... Not long after the joy of being reborn, they once again fell into the shadow of death.    

    

Lee Shiqi did not speak and could only quietly lean against the mountain wall. She lowered her head without making a sound and no one knew what she was thinking about. The three of them were in an extremely bad mood at this moment. No one had the interest to speak. It was equivalent to them being sentenced to death. It was obvious that there was no turning back...
