Chapter 380: Outside the Underground Palace is a Beautiful Lake
"What's going on?" someone asked in a low voice.
"Did we step into a trap?" another person said nervously.
At this moment, the entire hall began to shake violently, and the ground began to rise slowly, as if a powerful force was holding it up.
Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen immediately checked the map to find an exit, but they found that no matter which direction they went, they would encounter hard stone walls.
"Who stepped on the mechanism just now?" Jiang Yimo asked with a frown.
After that, a young guard lowered his head and answered truthfully: "I stepped on it accidentally."
Jiang Yimo glanced at him and did not blame him. Instead, she said calmly: "Next, everyone be careful and follow the footsteps of me and your prince. Otherwise, if you accidentally step on the mechanism, we will be in trouble together."
After hearing this, the young guard nodded repeatedly.
Next, as the hall rises, the stone carvings and murals on the walls become gradually clear, and they seem to be telling a mysterious and ancient history.
However, at this moment no one can calm down and appreciate these exquisite works of art because they are facing the test of life and death.
"Everyone, don't panic!" At this time, Feng Wuhen's voice reached everyone's ears again, "This may be a protection mechanism. Everyone, look nearby for a mechanism to stop the underground palace from rising!"
So, everyone began to observe the surrounding environment carefully, looking for the mechanism.
Just then, someone noticed the oil lampstands on the stone pillars, which seemed to have some connection with the surrounding environment.
"Your Highness, Princess, there seems to be something wrong with the oil lamps on these stone pillars. The oil lamps on both sides of the middle of the stone pillars are slightly lower."
As soon as the young guard finished speaking, everyone immediately turned around and looked at the stone pillars in the hall. Sure enough, they found that two of the oil lamps in the middle of the stone pillars were slightly lower.
Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen walked over immediately, and after some attempts, they finally found that by turning the two slightly lower oil lamp stands in the middle of the stone pillars, they could control the rise and fall of the hall.
Everyone was ecstatic. Jiang Yimo immediately followed the instructions and finally successfully restored the hall to its original state.
When the hall stopped shaking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that although this experience was thrilling, it also gave them a deeper understanding of this mysterious building.
Next, Jiang Yimo continued walking into the underground palace according to the instructions on the map.
It was just a short walk, but both she and Feng Wuhen were very cautious and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
However, despite this, they almost triggered the mechanism many times.
On one occasion, they were nearly shot by a poisonous arrow hidden in the dark; on another occasion, they were nearly trapped by a sudden collapse of the ground.
Every time they encounter a crisis, they successfully overcome it with their extraordinary reaction ability and wit.
After these thrilling experiences, Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen finally understood that in the underground palace, every step they took must strictly follow the instructions on the map.
Even if you take a wrong step or accidentally touch something you shouldn't touch, you may trigger a mechanism or fall into a trap, putting your life in danger.
What made it even more difficult for them was that these mechanisms and traps were not clearly marked on the map in their hands.
Therefore, they can only rely on their own vigilance to avoid accidents.
At the same time, they also need to keep an eye out for any abnormal signs in their surroundings so they can respond in a timely manner.
With the repeated dangers, Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen gradually adapted to this tense and exciting atmosphere. They began to observe their surroundings more keenly, not missing any details that might be dangerous.
At the same time, they also learned how to cleverly avoid places that seem harmless but actually hide huge risks.
A group of people walked in the underground palace for half an hour and finally walked out of it.
The sunlight shines on them, warm and bright, making people feel extremely comfortable.
Outside the underground palace is a crystal clear lake with a wide surface. From a distance, it looks like a blue gem, emitting charming light.
The breeze blew by, and the waves sparkled, as if a layer of silver gauze was covered on the entire lake.
On the lake, there is a suspended wooden bridge, which is like a winding dragon, leading directly to the small island in the middle of the lake.
The wooden bridge forms a sharp contrast with the lake, giving people a mysterious and dreamy feeling.
Everyone was shocked by the beauty before them, and a stunned expression appeared on their faces.
"Wow! I didn't expect there would be such a beautiful scenery outside the underground palace." someone exclaimed.
Everyone echoed: "Yeah, I didn't expect it to be such a view."
"This is simply a paradise on earth!"
Everyone was immersed in the beautiful scenery, in a good mood and full of expectations for the future.
However, although everyone was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery, they did not forget to look for the treasures in the forbidden area.
After all, the purpose of their coming here is not only to enjoy the scenery, but more importantly to find the precious treasure.
Jiang Yimo secretly speculated that the treasure in this forbidden area was most likely a thousand-year-old lotus.
Because she had already sensed that the three lotus flowers in the space were moving unusually, as if they were also attracted by the beautiful scenery and wanted to find out what was going on.
So Jiang Yimo quickened her pace and walked towards the island in the lake.
The others followed her and stepped onto the suspended wooden bridge.
While admiring the beautiful scenery around them, they walked carefully, fearing that they would accidentally fall into the lake.
Walking on the wooden bridge, you feel like you are in the clouds, and the lake water under your feet ripples gently, bringing a cool breath.
This unique experience makes people feel relaxed and happy, forgetting all worries and fatigue.
However, when they arrived here, the map in Jiang Yimo's hand became useless - there were no more road signs on it.
This forced Jiang Yimo, Feng Wuhen and others to move forward cautiously and tentatively.
They crossed the suspended wooden bridge and did not encounter any obstacles along the way, as if everything seemed exceptionally calm.
Finally, they successfully reached the small island in the center of the lake.
Around this small island grow many upright, barrel-like Metasequoia trees, which guard this peaceful place like loyal guards.
After several people stepped onto the island, they couldn't wait to look up, and as far as their eyes could see, an antique pavilion came into view.
Located at the top of the island, this pavilion exudes an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
What is even more eye-catching is that wisps of white smoke emerge from the pavilion, like fairy air, adding a touch of otherworldly atmosphere to the whole scene.
Feng Wuhen and Jiang Yimo walked in front, their steps brisk and eager, as if they were attracted by the pavilion.
