Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 36 The cave under the cliff
After a small harvest, the few of them returned to the secret passage and retraced their original path, intending to go to the end of another fork in the road. Unexpectedly, halfway through the journey, another fork in the road appeared ahead.

This time there are no left or right forks, but three roads: left, middle and right.

“How many forks are there here?”

"It's hard to say what the structure of this secret passage is. We can only figure it out slowly."

In order to find out more information and to get out of here, the few of them chose to take the left path as they did before, and then found the switch at the end of the road.

This time when it was opened, the scene that came into view was even bloodier and more cruel than what he saw in the previous stone chamber.

In the stone chamber before my eyes, there were more than forty martial arts masters lying covered in blood!

The faces and bodies of these forty-plus corpses were covered with hidden weapons of various shapes, including silver needles, poisonous stingers, thorns, short blades, and arrows, making them look like hedgehogs.

With the three treasure chests in the stone chamber as the core, they transformed into three groups of people, scattered on the ground or on the corpses of others, causing pools of smelly blood to form on the floor of the entire stone chamber.

The three treasure chests in the stone chamber have been opened, and you can see the mechanisms made of steel inside.

From the scene in front of us, we can roughly infer that the situation at that time was like this -

These people came to the stone chamber and found three treasure chests inside. So they rushed to the treasure chests, wanting to snatch the treasures inside as soon as possible.

However, they didn't expect that the treasure chest was actually a trap. Not only were there no treasures or martial arts secrets inside, but there were also hidden weapons that could take people's lives.

So when they opened the treasure chest, they were immediately injured by the hidden weapons that shot out and died on the spot.

It can also be seen that this hidden weapon has a wide coverage area and a very fast firing speed, otherwise more than 40 people would never have died at the same time without even having time to react.

The scene before him was too bloody, and even more terrifying than the scene in the previous stone chamber.

The fishy stench was so strong that several people couldn't help but feel nauseous.

If it weren't for the fact that more than two hours had passed since they went up the mountain and their dinner had long been digested, they would have vomited it out on the spot.

"What a terrible trap, what a vicious heart... I wonder who designed this treasure map? Who is the conspirator behind this?"

"No matter who it is, we can be sure that person is not a good person."

"Boss, this scene...should we still go up and search?"

Lin Pingzhi asked in a low voice, and it could be heard that he was very resistant in his heart.

The reason for resistance was not only that the scene was too bloody, but also because they were afraid that there were untriggered mechanisms in the stone chamber. If they took a wrong step, they would be shot into a sieve and die with their eyes open like those people.

Murong Jiu at the side couldn't help but speak first: "If you want to search, you can search by yourselves. I won't bother! We have already gained something just now, so this little bit is not a big deal."

Xiao Yuer laughed when he heard that: "If you are scared, just say it directly. Now everyone present here can be considered as our family. We will not laugh at you."

Murong Jiu snorted coldly and did not respond.

"Hey, don't say that."

Lu Ping shook his hand and said with a smile: "How can we be afraid of the affairs of the Jianghu people? This is called cherishing life, quitting when you are ahead, knowing when to advance and retreat, and those who want to achieve great things should not stand under a dangerous wall..."

This speech, which seemed to be speaking for someone else but was also sarcastic, made Murong Jiu so angry that her face turned even paler. She glared at Lu Ping fiercely, then turned her head away angrily and stopped talking.

After looking around, Lu Ping didn't see any traps, so he bravely stepped forward and began to search the corpse. Of course, just in case, he didn't get close to the treasure chests.

Seeing that Lu Ping valued money over his life, the other people all admired his boldness.

After a brief inspection and search, Lu Ping withdrew: "Judging from the marks on the bodies, these people died earlier than the people in the previous stone chamber, probably about half a month ago."

"There's nothing good on them, let's go."

The few of them turned back again and this time took the middle road. There had been a similar mechanism at the end of the road for a long time, but this time it was right above their heads.

Fortunately, they all had pretty good martial arts skills, and with the help of the protrusion on the wall next to them, they were able to climb up with a slight jump.

This time, there was no stone chamber above my head, but a stone cave.

Inside the cave, there was a short, withered skeleton. He was lying next to several boxes full of gold, silver and jewelry, and his body was covered with all kinds of priceless treasures.

It’s a pity that the corpses, treasure chests and treasures were all covered with a lot of dust.

Having learned from the previous two lessons, Xiao Yuer and the others did not dare to approach the dry bones and the treasure chest easily. Instead, they looked up and down and left and right at the stone cave in front of them while starting to discuss.

"It seems that this place has not been discovered yet?"

"Who do you think this person on the ground is? Could he be a disciple of the Mohist School?"

"It looks like he has been dead for at least ten years, just like that Mo family disciple."

Lu Ping walked to the entrance of the cave and looked up and down. He found that he was located under a high mountain cliff. There was a steep cliff dozens of feet above, and a bottomless abyss hundreds of feet below.

After realizing the location of the cave, everyone became curious about the situation there.

"It's really strange, how could someone die here with so much treasure?"

"If this person didn't come up from the secret passage, but came down from the cliff, and then his way back was cut off, then this way of death makes sense."

The voice of Xiao Yuer coming from behind reminded Lu Ping of something.

In the original novel, there was a bodyguard named Shen Qinghong. Once, he had to escort several boxes of priceless silver, enough to shake up several escort agencies, but he was targeted by the twelve constellations.

Shen Qinghong originally asked Yan Nantian for help, but Yan Nantian declined because of Jiang Feng's matter. When he arrived, Shen Qinghong was already injured.

Yan Nantian helped him defeat the people of the Twelve Constellations, but after Yan Nantian left, the other party made a surprise attack and forced Shen Qinghong to hand over the dart silver.

It turned out that in order to prevent the loss of the dart silver, Shen Qinghong came up with a plan to make the fake one look real, so that others would get away with the dart without any loss, while he hid the real dart silver in the cave, preparing to sneak into Chencang.

Later, Shen Qinghong designed a plan to trap herself and the God of Offering Fruit chosen by the Twelve Constellations here. The two stayed here for fourteen years, and only figured out a way to escape until Xiao Yuer arrived. However, in the end they were still killed by Xiao Mimi's plan.

“Is this the cave?”

Thinking of this, Lu Ping walked to the treasure chests and kicked them over with force.

Boom boom... crash...

In an instant, all kinds of gems, pearls, necklaces, bracelets, and agates poured all over the ground.
