The Unique Queen - C231
Emperor Star, you are already very ugly
To reach Jiangzhu Cliff in the back mountain, one had to pass through a bamboo forest and then a suspension bridge that hung above the cliff.
After Hua Yurong stayed in the bamboo forest for a while, just as she was about to turn around and leave, she discovered something abnormal in the bamboo forest.
Her beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed. Those two figures looked a little familiar!
At that moment, when Feng Wuyou and Xiao Lie touched onto the bamboo forest, they noticed something amiss. This situation was similar to when she had just entered the city lord’s mansion and was passing by the bamboo forest. However, it was daytime then, so she could still search for a mechanism.
It was night, how could he find it?
As he walked, he paid careful attention to his surroundings. Suddenly, a cracking sound could be heard from the stone path beneath his feet. It sounded like he had stepped on some sort of mechanism!
This unusual movement caused Feng Wuyou’s body to stiffen. Based on her intuition, she definitely could not give up at this point of time. Otherwise, the consequences would be severe!
Xiao Lie also noticed Feng Wuyou’s abnormality, he tilted his head and looked at him, and asked softly, “Master, what’s wrong?” As she spoke, she prepared to walk over.
“Xiao Lie, don’t move first. I’ll take a look first.” Feng Wuyou anxiously allowed Xiao Lie to stand steadily, then she slowly squatted down. Using the hazy night sky, she observed the mechanism beneath her feet, and discovered that it was an exquisite design for the launch device.
Feng Wuyou did not understand much about mechanisms, so she looked at Xiao Lie: “Do you know anything about mechanisms?”
Xiao Lie’s master was the God Thieves the Thousand Hand Guan Yin, and he specialized in theft. He naturally had a set of knowledge on traps.
Xiao Lie followed the mechanism that was connected to the box and found the hidden mechanism box underneath the bamboo leaves. The moment he opened it, he discovered that there were hundreds of arrows shining with cold light connected to it.
The trap in front of him was constructed according to the legendary Peacock Plume in the martial world. However, this trap was quite large. The hundreds of poisonous arrows one could see were only the first of its kind.
Man-made people could be removed, but the most powerful part of it was the first mechanism, which was connected to the second mechanism. After the first mechanism was shot, the second mechanism would be launched immediately, giving people no chance to dodge at all.
Putting aside Xiao Lie’s capabilities, it was originally not enough for him to destroy such a complicated trap. Even if he had the ability, he could only destroy the first trap, and the second trap that was connected to it from the inside. If the first trap was not set off, he would not be able to see it.
Therefore, he couldn’t tear it apart!
Looking at Xiao Lie’s serious expression, Feng Wuyou knew that this thing beneath her feet was very hard to deal with.
If they were to let go now, those arrows would shoot out, turning Feng Wuyou and Xiao Lie into an artificial hedgehog.
It was at this moment that another round of hissing sounds rang beside Feng Wuyou’s ears.
This voice was too familiar!
Under the moonlight, many small snakes were slithering out from the bamboo forest. Their colors were all different, and their numbers were numerous. It was a shocking sight to behold.
Seeing that, Feng Wuyou was actually a little panicky in her heart. She did not want to become an artificial hedgehog, nor did she want to become food for the little snakes!
Thinking about it, she was also sad. Back then, she recalled that Mo Lingfeng had said that his tolerance would only last two hours when the Herba Brassicae blossomed.
She was worried that the robbery would fail tomorrow, so she decided to take the risk. However, she had just reached the first test. Was it really impossible for her to pass?
The snakes were getting closer. In Feng Wuyou’s heart, she was starting to panic a little.
Just then, Hua Yurong regained her senses and realised that the person who was surrounded by the snake swarm was Feng Wuyou. As she was thinking, the jade flute in her hand flapped gently and was placed between her lips. Then, a clear flute melody came out.
Hua Yurong was startled by the sound of the flute. After the snakes heard the flute sound, they all retreated. Clearly, they had been specially fed and trained!
Feng Wuyou and Xiao Lie looked at each other, they knew that there was someone secretly helping them, and the crisis of the poisonous snakes had been solved, but the mechanism at their feet that could pierce the heart with ten thousand arrows, what should they do?
Just as he was thinking, two ribbons flew out from the darkness, one wrapped around Feng Wuyou’s waist while the other wrapped around Xiao Lie.
Then, Feng Wuyou felt like she was being carried by herself in the deep bamboo forest. After a few leaps, not long after, she left the bamboo forest and arrived at the edge of the bamboo forest.
The moment Feng Wuyou left, the hundreds of poison arrows shot out from the mechanism mechanism. After shooting the first wave of arrows, another wave of thousands of arrow feather shot out.
If Hua Yurong was not fast, Feng Wuyou and Xiao Lie would definitely have been beaten into two man-made hedgehogs!
Hua Yurong put Feng Wuyou and Xiao Lie down, her beautiful eyes quietly sweeping over Feng Wuyou, and with a hint of displeasure she said: “I say, Xiao Zhonger is so late, why aren’t you two sleeping, and why did you come out to wander around?”
When Feng Wuyou heard Hua Yurong’s somewhat captivating voice, she was immediately stirred up. The reason why she brought Xiao Lie in before was because if Mo Lingfeng did not give it to her, then they would steal it. But now, a few people suddenly appeared and fought with her over it, breaking her original plan.
Feng Wuyou’s face was filled with joy as she looked at Hua Yurong: Xiao Hua, why are you here? It’s so good that you’re here, tonight we’re going to steal that Herba Brassicae. Feng Wuyou was actually a little regretful that she had brought Xiao Lie here, because Xiao Lie’s martial arts was indeed mediocre!
But it was different now, Hua Yurong was here.
Feng Wuyou knew about Hua Yurong’s martial arts. To be able to fight against Baili Mingyue, her martial arts were definitely not weak, and would still be able to help him!
After Hua Yurong heard this, she thought for a moment: “Xiao Zhonger, we won’t be able to get through this bamboo forest tonight.”
“Why?” Your martial arts are so high, yet you can’t pass?
“The Mo family has guarded the Zhonghe City for many years. What makes you think that the Mo family can guard the Herba Brassicae while the martial artists stare at them covetously?” Hua Yurong said, and sighed: “The Mo family, is famous for its traps and concealed weapons. Every floor tile in the Inner Academy can trigger a mechanism. Just tell me what happened to you guys just now.
“But… Aren’t you here? “If you know the Mo family so well, then you can also take care of the other traps, right?”
As Hua Yurong looked at the expectant Feng Wuyou, a trace of helplessness surfaced on her beautiful face, “Xiao Zhonger, although I know the Mo family, I only know a little more than you guys. There are a lot of traps that I don’t know about either.”
Although he was the Young City Lord of the Zhonghe City, he had left the Zhonghe City ten years ago. Because of his hostile relationship with the City Lord, the number of times he came back was extremely few.
Hearing this, Feng Wuyou’s heart sank.
Then what should he do?
The Herba Brassicae would only grow one every ten years, would they really have to watch as they snatched it away?!
Hua Yurong looked at Feng Wuyou, who was frowning with a worried expression under the moonlight, and couldn’t help but be shocked. She raised her hand and rubbed her face, and spoke with a slightly disdainful tone: “She was already ugly, why are you frowning? She’s ugly to death!”
Feng Wuyou pushed his hand away: “Little Flower, stop messing around, I was just thinking of a way!”
“What are you thinking about? Go back and sleep!” As Hua Yurong said that, she dragged Feng Wuyou along with him.
Although Feng Wuyou was dragging Feng Wuyou along, she was still a little flustered in her heart. “Little Flower, I won’t be able to sleep if I can’t think of a way!” Tomorrow was the day the Herba Brassicae would blossom. If she could not think of a way, then she would be letting uncle down!
“I’ll think of a way!” Hua Yurong finally opened his mouth helplessly, causing Feng Wuyou to be stunned for a moment. He looked at the doubt in her eyes: “This is my house after all, I understand this place better than you do, you should go back and sleep.”
Although his father had already told him not to meddle in the affairs of the Herba Brassicae, to make him see how upset and disappointed she was was was was, was something he couldn’t bear to do!
Forget it. Just break your leg!
… ….
When the light of dawn broke through the horizon, Huyan Ruijin, Leng Qianqiu, Murong Rui and the rest had already woken up. They gathered in the main hall of the courtyard to prepare for breakfast, and then prepared to go to the back mountain together to fight for the Herba Brassicae s.
When the six of them arrived at the hall, they naturally saw Feng Wuyou with two dark circles under her eyes. Everyone was brimming with energy, but she was just listless and dispirited. Alright, in truth, she had been worried for an entire night, but she still had not thought of a way to snatch it from the six people in front of her!
Although Hua Yurong had said that he would help her think of a way, at the moment, she could only take things one step at a time!
After having breakfast with the others, they headed towards the Scarlet Pearl Cliff mentioned by Mo Lingfeng. Following the path they walked on last night, they passed through the bamboo forest. A wide open space and a mountain peak not far away appeared in front of them.
On one side of the clearing was a bamboo forest, and on the other side was a bottomless cliff. On the cliff, there was a suspension bridge that connected the two sides of the mountain.
Mo Lingfeng was already waiting on the empty ground. Seeing that all eight of them had arrived, he nodded to everyone and said, “Everyone is here, the Herba Brassicae still has an hour before it blooms, so it’s in the cave on the other side of Jiang Zhuzhe Cliff. All of you can go get it yourselves, but please remember that within four hours, you must all leave this place, otherwise all the mechanisms in the bamboo forest will be activated. Whether or not you guys can get out of here will depend on your luck. ”
As he spoke, he nodded to the crowd and left without looking back. It was as he had promised yesterday, he would not interfere at all.
Out of the eight people present, you look at me, I look at you.
Feng Wuyou, at this moment, felt extremely uncertain in her heart.
To be honest, the martial arts of Huyan Ruijin and the few people in front of him, needless to say, were definitely higher than his. As for Dong Heng’s Murong Shaoxuan, even though he did not do well, she believed that he did not lack any abilities!
Last night, Hua Yurong said that he would help her think of a way, but even now, he still could not find any trace of him. It seems that he could not depend on her, and could only rely on her!
Huyan Ruijin looked at Feng Wuyou, a smile appearing on her handsome face, as though she was determined to win, and took the lead to walk towards the suspension bridge.
In truth, she had already noticed Huyan Ruijin’s abnormality yesterday. As long as it was something related to the Herba Brassicae, he was especially impulsive, it seemed that she really cared about the battle that was going to happen today, as though she was determined to win!
Leng Qianqiu also looked at Feng Wuyou with a smile that was not a smile, and followed along with it with a sinister smile.
Seeing that Huyan Ruijin was about to take the lead and step onto the suspension bridge, Leng Qianqiu suddenly took action. A wave of inner force transformed into a ray of light and flew towards his direction, causing him to have no choice but to stop in his tracks.
The two of them stood still, and their eyes were full of fierceness, unwilling to give in to each other.
At the moment, in their hearts, they were treating as their biggest competitor, after all, Dong Heng was not a good opponent, just with his follower Mu Qi, it was impossible for him to have the power to compete with one of them.
Feng Wuyou, although her martial arts were not considered weak, but in front of and Leng Qianqiu, these two experts, were not worth mentioning.
After a while, Huyan Ruijin and Leng Qianqiu who were the first to take action, started fighting with each other in front of the suspension bridge.
Waves of translucent light waves formed from inner force continuously burst out from the two of them. Feng Wuyou was stunned when she saw it, the two of them could be considered to be tangled together, and could not care less about the two of them.
Feng Wuyou carefully glanced at Murong Shaoxuan who was seated on her wheelchair, only to see that he still had that gentle jade-like appearance of his, and was currently looking at Feng Wuyou with her shining eyes, obviously waiting for her answer.
Feng Wuyou swallowed her saliva, agreeing to him was impossible, she could only rely on her own ability, and then looked at Xiao Lie with the eyes, the two of them smiled at Murong Shaoxuan and Mu Qi, and then quickly flew towards the suspension bridge.
This Murong Shaoxuan was in a wheelchair, she couldn’t possibly outrun him.
Thus, while Leng Duanshu and Huyan Ruijin were fighting, she could still seize the initiative!
