Chapter 53 Magic
"…After I discovered this underground palace, I was careless for a moment and was poisoned by that woman."
"This poison is called 'Ten Fragrance Softening Powder'. Although it does not hinder movement, it makes one unable to exert strength and call upon true energy. That is why I have not been able to escape from here until now."
After listening to Lu Xiaofeng's story, Lu Ping felt it made sense, but still felt a little strange: "A person as smart, vigilant, and experienced as you actually fell into the hands of a woman... How did she get poisoned?"
"Ahem...don't worry about these details."
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Lu Ping always felt that Lu Xiaofeng looked a little embarrassed: "Anyway, after this incident, I have learned a lesson. The 'Ten Evil Men' are indeed worthy of their reputation!"
"Okay... you've been here for so long, have you found the secret passage?"
Lu Xiaofeng nodded: "There is a secret passage, but the mechanism of the door is quite special. I am not an expert in this area and I have not been able to unlock it in so many days. Otherwise, I would have gotten out long ago."
"Oh, I'm not talking about the secret passage out, but the secret passage leading to the palace on the lower level!"
Lu Xiaofeng was shocked. He jumped up and shouted, "There is a lower level in this palace? How did you know?!"
"Well...don't worry about such details!"
Lu Ping waved his hand and asked, "Have you asked those 'concubines' where the morgue is?"
I remember that in the original book, whenever a dead person appeared in the underground palace, the body would be thrown by Xiao Mimi into a room in the lower palace. Because she saw that the room was full of dead bodies, she didn't have the courage to go down and find out what was going on, so she didn't find the treasure in the lower level for so many years.
Who is Lu Xiaofeng?
In Gu Long's martial arts world, he is also considered one of the representatives of "wise heroes".
Although he could not use his true energy over the past few days, he had already searched every room on the upper level of the underground palace in order to find a way to escape.
However, the place where the bodies were dumped was indeed too secretive. Not to mention Lu Xiaofeng, even the veteran players who had lived here for several years knew very little about it.
Fortunately, after some questioning, they finally caught someone who knew where the body was dumped.
Following each other's guidance, the group arrived at their destination.
It was more like a mass grave than a morgue, as it was filled with men who were tortured to death by Xiao Mimi. She threw the bodies of these men away and closed the entrance, completely isolating the two worlds.
"What a rotten corpse smell!"
As the entrance to the passage was opened, a disgusting smell wafted into Lu Ping's nose. His face immediately turned pale and he pinched his nose reflexively while his legs subconsciously took a few steps back.
"Although it's disrespectful to the deceased, the smell is worse than pig food that has been fermenting for three days and three nights. I don't even want to go down."
"But didn't you say the treasure was down here?"
"Yes, this is also what I am most entangled with now."
Lu Ping sighed, "I've gone through so much hardship, climbing mountains and digging tunnels, and now I have to risk being infected by germs while walking past a pile of dead bodies. If I don't find the treasure soon, I really don't know what I will do with this place..."
Everyone felt ashamed after hearing this.
"Then let me go ahead. I can't wait to see the treasure you mentioned!" Lu Xiaofeng patted Lu Ping's shoulder and walked ahead with a heroic look.
"You are so proactive?"
Lu Ping was somewhat surprised at Lu Xiaofeng's behavior.
"There may be other exits here. As your senior, I must go ahead!"
“Hiss——” Lu Ping’s eyes widened, his face full of shock.
He was clearly poisoned and unable to use his internal energy, and he knew nothing about the situation below, but he still cared about the younger generation in the martial arts world whom he had never met before...
He really did. I cried my eyes out. "Mr. Lu, you are so righteous! Just because of what you said, if there is treasure down there later, I will let you pick the three biggest ones first!"
"Hahaha...thank you very much then."
After some discussion, Lu Xiaofeng took the lead, Lu Ping was second, and the rest followed closely behind. The seven of them went down the passage one by one and came to a room with dim light and full of corpses.
"It's too dark. You guys should have some fire starters on you, right?" Lu Xiaofeng's voice came.
The air was silent for a while.
"Yes, there is, but are you sure you want to light the fire here?"
"Of course we have to light a fire here, otherwise we won't be able to see the road clearly!"
"All right……"
After they took out their fire sticks and saw the scene in the room clearly, they were amazed again and again. Even though he was mentally prepared, Lu Ping was still shocked by the scene before him.
Everywhere I looked, there were corpses.
There are mainly two types of corpses. One is a skeleton wearing clothes and has been dead for who knows how long. The other is a naked man with a hideous face. His expression seems to be silently accusing him of the unfair fate that befell him during his lifetime.
After just one look, Lu Ping rushed out through the door at the side as if escaping.
This scene is so terrifying that even looking at it for one more second is a torture to myself.
Outside the door is an octagonal hall with eight walls and eight capstans. The walls correspond to the capstans one by one, and the materials include gold, iron, wood and stone.
Lu Ping had just looked around for a while when several people behind him followed him out.
"Boss, Boss, you are always calm and confident in everything you do. I never thought you could be so flustered and embarrassed..."
Xiao Yu'er's voice was full of joking, "After knowing each other for so few days, I didn't know your mental quality was so poor!"
Lu Ping's eyes twitched when he heard this, and he said with a stiff face, "Taiping Town is not the Valley of Evil. I have never worked in a coffin shop. I have never seen many dead people since I was a child. Is it strange to have such a reaction?"
"Not surprising, not surprising at all."
Xiao Yuer smiled and shook his head, "It's just that now I finally see that I have a skill that is better than you."
"That's nothing to be proud of."
Lu Ping said this casually, but Xiao Yuer was stunned when he heard it. His smile suddenly faded. He didn't know what he had figured out. He sighed and said, "You're right. There's really nothing to be proud of."
After finding the underground palace, the system went online and issued a notice as expected -
【system hint! 】
[The main task 'Searching for the Underground Palace Treasure' has been completed. Please choose one of the following three rewards]:
1. Encompassing the Small Universe
2. Condensation of the Body and Mind
3. Five-Shape Life-Borrowing Technique
"It's not a weapon?!"
Lu Ping was a little surprised when he saw the content of this reward.
"The reward this time is magic? Magic... is really rare!"
