Chapter 188 Pei Ziye is trapped

Song Qingwan carefully observed the terrain near the low house, and then slowly waited for the arrival of Yan Yu and the Pei brothers.

Although she had the space, she did not dare to act rashly. After all, Lan Cheng'en and Concubine Rou were both cunning old foxes.

If she were discovered, she, a pregnant woman, would be weak and alone and might not be able to escape.

Although it seems that there are no threats on the island anymore, there is no guarantee that Lan Chengen does not have a backup plan.

This ghost island has existed for many years, and Song Qingwan doesn't believe that it doesn't have any secret weapons.

After waiting for about two hours, when it was almost dawn, Yan Yu, Pei Zijun and Pei Ziye brothers finally arrived.

Yan Yu hurried forward to check on Song Qingwan's condition and found that she was not injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"What should we do next?"

"I wonder if there is any mechanism in this low house. I need to go in and investigate first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Ziye stood up first.

"I'll go."

Pei Zijun quickly pulled his brother and walked forward to speak.

"Ye'er, wait here, let me go."

"Second brother, your martial arts skills are better than mine. If there is really a trap inside, you can save me."

Before Pei Zijun nodded in agreement, Pei Ziye rushed out.

Pei Zijun could only stand there anxiously, hiding in the dark with Song Qingwan and Yan Yu, quietly observing the situation inside the house.

Lan Cheng'en and Leng Qingrou in the room both fell asleep with their eyes closed. Suddenly, Leng Qingrou seemed to smell a strange smell, and she had a vague bad premonition in her heart.

When Song Qingwan destroyed the snake pit again just now, no one noticed it for the time being because the stench from the destruction of the previous snake pit covered it up.

But this snake was raised by Leng Xinrou, so it can be said that it has a certain telepathy.

Normally, the snakes shouldn't be so quiet all night after they go back. How come there is no sound at all?

Could it be that…

Suddenly Leng Xinrou stood up abruptly.

"broken!"

Then she slapped and kicked Lan Chengen who was lying on the side.

"Let's go! Go out and take a look."

"what happened?"

"I suspect something is wrong with the other two snake pits as well."

"How is that possible? With so many assassins guarding the place, how could no one report it if something happened?"

"It's better to go and have a look."

"Alright."

So the two of them got up and walked out. Pei Ziye saw that the room was empty, so he walked into the low house with confidence and began to search everywhere.

On the other side, Leng Xinrou and Lan Chengen came to the other two snakes and found that all the snakes were dead, and their deaths were even more miserable than those of the snakes in the first snake pit.

The surrounding warriors were either dead or maimed, some had half of their bodies eaten by poisonous snakes, and even the children were missing.

"How could this be?"

Leng Xinrou's body softened and she collapsed to the ground.

Lan Chengen also opened his eyes wide in shock, unable to accept this reality for a while.

The snake pit is gone, all the assassins are dead, what should they do?

Lan Chengen is now at the end of his rope, and Ghost Island can be said to be his last retreat.

If everything on Ghost Island is destroyed, what will he rely on in the future?

At this time, Leng Xinrou, who was sitting on the ground, had anger in her eyes that almost burst out, and she spoke viciously with a look as if she was spitting poison.

"Song Qingwan, just wait and see. I will definitely find you!"

Lan Chengen calmed himself down and began to persuade him.

"Let's look for her now. Maybe Song Qingwan is still on the island."

"it is good."

So the two of them got up and took the remaining few surviving soldiers with them and began to move around the Ghost Island, searching everywhere.

Pei Ziye, who was searching in the low house here, actually got an unexpected gain. He found a hole in the wall behind a painting on the wall.

Pei Ziye carefully reached his hand in and actually touched a small box. Pei Ziye guessed that something hidden so secretly must be very important.

Pei Ziye quickly took out the box and opened it eagerly to see what was inside.

When he opened it, he saw a fat white worm lying inside. He remembered the mother-and-child Gu that Song Qingwan had mentioned, so this worm must be the mother worm.

This must be the most confidential thing on this ghost island. Pei Ziye once heard his father say that the insects of this mother-child Gu are extremely difficult to cultivate.

Anyone who is infected with this poison will have a drastic change in temperament, and over time will obey the owner of the queen insect.

Pei Ziye quickly put the box into his arms. He wanted to take it back and give it to Qing Wan.

Pei Ziye was about to rush out when he was suddenly tripped by something and almost fell.

Just as Pei Ziye lowered his head to check, suddenly an arrow shot towards his head.

Pei Ziye quickly dodged, but the cold sword still cut off a piece of his hair. Pei Ziye immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

It seems that there is indeed a trap in this house. It is not advisable to stay here for long. We must get out quickly! So Pei Ziye used his Qinggong skills and rushed out quickly.

But it was too late. The door of the low house closed automatically, and then a large iron cage fell from the roof and covered Pei Ziye inside.

Pei Ziye had never encountered such a situation before, but he knew that he couldn't panic. The more panicked he was, the easier it would be to make mistakes.

He immediately drew out his sword and tried to chop the iron cage. "Dangdangdangdang" Pei Ziye used all his strength, but the iron cage didn't move at all.

Song Qingwan and the other two standing outside the door were also extremely anxious. Pei Zijun even wanted to rush in to save people, but was pulled back by Yan Yu.

"You'll just die if you go in. That iron cage must be made of black iron. Even swords and knives can't cut it. How can you save it?"

"What should we do? We can't just watch our fourth brother die here!"

"Don't worry, let's find a solution together."

Song Qingwan remained silent, her brain racing as she thought about the principle of how the iron cage could be raised and lowered.

If this iron cage was hung directly on the roof, with such a big target, Pei Ziye would definitely not be able to miss it.

There is no skylight on the roof, and it is even more impossible for someone to fall into the house from outside. So there is only one possibility.

This iron cage has a telescopic function.

Thinking of this, Song Qingwan said to the two of them: "I guess there is a mechanism on the iron cage. Let's find a way to get in and find the mechanism, and then Pei Ziye can be rescued."

"But where is this mechanism? We don't know."

"If I saw it right, Pei Ziye tripped over a string and the cage fell down. I guess this string is related to the cage."

"Then you wait, I'll go in and save Ye'er!"

"No, I'll go find it."

"But what if there is another mechanism inside?"

"Don't be afraid. With such a big commotion and no other abnormalities in the house, there must not be any more powerful traps."

Yan Yu was still worried. Song Qingwan was already so pregnant and had already been busy with them all night. How could she take such a risk again?

Song Qingwan naturally understood that Yan Yu was thinking about his safety, but now was not the time to be considerate of each other.

"If we delay any longer like this, not only will Pei Ziye die, but none of us will survive either!"

"But you don't know martial arts..."

"It's OK if you two can do it. Don't worry, I won't rush in blindly without any confidence."

"Then the two of us will wait for you outside. If anyone comes, we will go in and rescue you."

"it is good!"

Song Qingwan flashed into the house. When Pei Zifeng saw Song Qingwan coming in, he yelled at her anxiously.

"Get out! There's danger!"

"I'm here to save you. Please be patient and let me check the mechanism."

"What do you, a weak woman, know about mechanisms? Hurry up! I'm here to attract the attention of those people so that you and your brother can retreat!"

"Don't talk yet, there's no time!"

Song Qingwan really admired this young man. He didn't even think about how the three of them could possibly abandon him here and run away?

Pei Ziye finally calmed down after hearing this. He knew that he couldn't persuade her, so he could only observe the situation around Song Qingwan in case someone suddenly came in and took her away.

After studying for half an hour, it was already dawn and Song Qingwan still had no results.

At this time, footsteps were heard not far away, and Pei Ziye was startled.

"It's bad, they are back, leave quickly!"

Song Qingwan nodded calmly and walked to the hidden place in Li's room and slipped into the space. It was a piece of cake to hide from people.

At this time Leng Xinrou and Lan Chengen opened the door and entered the house, and were somewhat surprised to find Pei Ziye in the iron cage.

Leng Xinrou took a step forward and walked in front of Pei Ziye.

"I never thought that all this was done by the Pei family. I really underestimated you. The Pei family is so capable!"
