Chapter 375 grand underground palace

Zha Lin laughed coldly and said, "Director He will have a way, right?"

He Yi Ning looked at Zha Lin with disdain, but said to Shen Qi: "Don't worry, I'm here."

Shen Qi looked up at He Yi Ning, her eyes filled with trust.

He Yi Ning raised a hand to brush away the messy hair on Shen Qi's forehead, held Shen Qi's face with both hands and said softly: "I promised mother that I would protect you well.

Shen Qi immediately covered He Yi Ning's mouth, her eyes filled with anger. "You're not allowed to say something like that. "If you want to come together, then you need to walk together."

He Yi Ning took the opportunity to secretly kiss the center of Shen Qi's palm.

Shen Qi never thought that He Yi Ning would actually secretly kiss his palm in front of so many people. Shen Qi's ears instantly turned red.

When He Yi Ning saw that Shen Qi was shy again, the smile in her phoenix eyes wavered even further.

The two of them were just too small and sweet. In the eyes of others, they were simply full of resentment!

He Yi Ning did not dare be rash. After teasing Shen Qi for a bit, he immediately commanded: "Open the way."

He Yi Ning's bodyguards were all talented people. Many of them were personally trained by He Guo Xiang and passed to him by him alone.

The safety of his son was still very important in He Guo Xiang's eyes.

Therefore, He Yi Ning's bodyguards all had the ability to become mercenaries.

Shen Qi stood at the same place, watching as they took out countless parts and components from their backpacks while training, her fingers quickly assembled them.

In just a short while, they had managed to install two soft ladders and steadily lowered them.

He Yi Ning said to Shen Qi: "Walk behind me."

Shen Qi glanced at You Qin Yue, and He Yi Ning continued: "My mother is under my father's protection, so it's enough for me to protect you."

Shen Qi nodded and followed behind him.

Cui Yue Lan stood at her original position, staring at Shen Qi's back with sinister eyes, her killing intent instantly revealed.

He Yi Ning pulled Shen Qi and slowly walked down, and said: "Not too far away, will be the entrance to the underground palace. I don't know what will happen next, but you have to be careful. "

Shen Qi nodded.

Then she remembered that she was behind him, and she nodded and he couldn't see her, so she added, "Okay. "I understand."

He Yi Ning held Shen Qi tightly: "Don't be afraid."

Shen Qi carefully followed He Yi Ning down the stairs.

Because the soft ladder was very shaking, Shen Qi had no choice but to support herself as she pulled He Yi Ning along as she carefully walked down.

The further down they went, the weaker the light became.

Someone in front had already switched on a flashlight.

Shen Qi did not know how long she walked for, but as she turned her head, she saw that there was a long queue at the back.

It looks like there were quite a few people who came to the underground palace this time.

Compared to the last time, it was only slightly better.

Although he had come in a hurry and also to rescue his mother-in-law, he did not bring many tools or weapons with him.

However, it seemed that Charin was well-prepared.

After arriving at the bottom, if necessary, he could let Charing's men take the front line while his own men followed behind.

However, the outer perimeter is already so dangerous. I really don't know what will happen after we enter the underground palace!

Shen Qi sighed in the bottom of her heart.

Great Emperor, Seven Fairies! I'm sorry, we didn't mean to disturb your rest!

We were forced!

If you want to blame someone, blame Charing!

Yi Ning and I didn't do anything.

And in the past, we even fought with Tang Mu Si to protect your An Xi.

Therefore, for the sake of our past efforts, bless us to leave without a hitch!

Shen Qi muttered incessantly in her heart, and did not discover that she had already descended from the ground to a depth of several hundred meters underground.

Finally arriving underground, Shen Qi took the flashlight and looked around.

This was an exceptionally large pit.

Looking back, there were still people walking down. Just by looking, Shen Qi estimated that they were at least two to three hundred meters deep, almost as tall as a small hill.

After everyone came down, they put away the ladder and regrouped.

He Yi Ning said: "Zha Lin, it's not that I don't want to go to the front, but you saw it yourself. You have quite a few people with you, and all of your equipment. It's useless for you to waste my life like this. Why don't you go to the front. Since we are already here, it's impossible for us to return even if we want to. "

Of course Zha Lin knew that since He Yi Ning and the others had reached this step, they would not be able to go back.

Because the way back had already been destroyed by him.

"Of course." Zha Lin replied with a smile, "I'll have to trouble the two of you later."

Charin's men immediately took over He Yi Ning's bodyguards' tasks and were in charge of leading the way.

He Yi Ning's bodyguards numbered more than thirty, but Zha Lin's numbered more than a few hundred.

He Yi Ning's bodyguards were mostly elites in combat, while Charing Forest's majority were professional tomb robbers.

Therefore, at this point, He Yi Ning's group really could not go any further.

It was unknown where Zha Lin had snuck in so many tombs with all kinds of tools. Shen Qi was dazzled by what she saw.

There were probably some who were truly talented, and there were also others who took advantage of the situation.

Shen Qi did not know what was going on, but He Yi Ning did.

It was probably due to the high price that Charing had offered, which was why he had recruited so many people.

It didn't matter. It didn't matter if he had more people. It was more convenient to fish in troubled waters!

After Charing's men determined the direction, everyone continued forward.

Not long after, several forks appeared.

Shen Qi tugged on He Yi Ning's arm, and said softly: "Yi Ning, look at that stone tablet, does it look similar to the broken stone tablet outside?"

He Yi Ning looked in the direction where Shen Qi's finger pointed, and indeed, he saw a broken tablet.

This broken monolith was also inscribed with words that no one recognized. It was clearly written in the same font as the broken monolith outside.

Just what was this broken monolith talking about?

Shen Qi walked to the front of the broken monolith and looked at it carefully.

It was a pity that he wasn't a graduate of an ancient language major. He really didn't know much about these words.

Just then, a bearded tomb robber came over and looked at the broken tablet with Shen Qi. He said, "This is the ancient characters."

"Huh?" Shen Qi was dumbstruck: "What do you mean?"

"These words are all bone inscriptions in the form of elephants. Right now, our understanding of Oracle is only a few hundred simple characters. And this broken monolith had more than a few hundred types of languages. It was probably even an archaeologist who came here and found it difficult to completely decipher it, right? However, how strange, why is it that this broken monolith was not destroyed by someone from the later stages, but instead existed here as a broken monolith from the very beginning? " The bearded tomb robber said.

Shen Qi caressed it and said: "It really seems to be true. It was really strange. Other people's broken monoliths had all been set up, and a portion of it had been destroyed by others. But the words on this broken monolith do not have the slightest hint of it being destroyed. "

Zha Lin seemed to be dissatisfied with Shen Qi dawdling here, and said sinisterly: "Second Young Madam He, are you trying to stall for time?"

Shen Qi hurriedly left the broken monument, and followed the large group to continue walking forward.

The group of Cha Lin quickly chose a path and they majestically walked forward.

While walking, Shen Qi heard a burst of abnormal rate sounds from all around him.

He Yi Ning immediately grabbed Shen Qi's arm and said softly: "Follow me closely."

"What's wrong?" Shen Qi also became nervous.

"Do you remember the last time we came in?" He Yi Ning said softly: "I'm afraid we will meet again!"

Once He Yi Ning said this, Shen Qi immediately became nervous.

Last time, he had forcefully barged into the underground palace from the outside, so he was delayed for a long time outside.

If he went directly through the entrance this time, would he also encounter those strange creatures?

Oh my god!

What had changed in these thousands of years?

The moment He Yi Ning finished speaking, someone in front of him indeed let out a sharp scream.

Everyone immediately stopped and brandished their flashlights, constantly observing their surroundings.

Shen Qi swept the flashlight in her hand around, this sweep was alright, but when Shen Qi saw those things, her scalp went numb.

It was hard to tell if they were humans or apes, but they had red eyes and their fur was dark red. They were all densely packed on the walls.

Only now did Shen Qi realise that everyone seemed to have entered into a cave that was shaped like a gourd.

They were all at the bottom of the gourd, and the apes were all at the middle platform of the gourd.

It was not that Shen Qi had never seen monkeys or baboons.

However, Shen Qi dared to pat her chest and guarantee that these creatures in front of him were really completely different from the apes at the zoo.

These apes were really human beings.

Basically, they were able to walk in a semi-upright manner and knew how to use the tools in their hands.

Well, didn't you learn that in school, one of the necessary processes for humans to evolve from apes is to use tools?

Shen Qi was unable to control the flashlight in her hand, and it struck one of the ape's body.

The ape was suddenly struck by the light of the flashlight and exploded into a rage. The dark red hair on its body turned blood-red in a flash. It grabbed the closest ape and bit into its neck artery before gulping it down.

In just a few moments, the little ape had turned into a dried up corpse.

As for the ape, after drinking its companion's blood, it seemed to have evolved in an instant. Its body suddenly expanded in size and the red fur on its body became even more vivid.

Many of those who had witnessed the entire scene could not help but retch on the spot.

This was because the little ape that was sucked dry had died a miserable death!

What should he do?

The path ahead was blocked by a group of apes.

If they were to move forward, there shouldn't be enough people to feed them, right?

However, he had to retreat. Where was the retreat path? They had lost their direction long ago!

Since then, the compass watch, mobile phone and other electronic devices had all lost their effectiveness.

There was a vicious ape in front, and there was no retreat.

What should he do?
