The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

In the cave with a gloomy atmosphere, Ye Xiaohan stood in the middle of the team and also at the front of the team.

They entered a dark cave. There were no candles or torches as people who stayed in the cave usually prepared. It was just pitch black.

Not all of them chose to use flashlights for lighting, but some of them lit torches.

Because the prince said that torches can not only be used for lighting, but also have other uses, such as launching fire attacks on enemies, which is also a good trick...

In this way, with flashlights and torches, the dark cave becomes brighter, making it easier for people to observe their surroundings.

After entering the cave, Ye Xiaohan took out an object from his arms and put it on his face.

The sound of him breaking open the stone door was very loud. Logically, someone should have rushed out to check the situation, but they walked in the cave for a long time and no unidentified person appeared.

There must be something strange about this?

When I looked at it from the outside, I thought the stone gate was not very tall. But when I passed through the stone gate and entered the cave, I looked up and found the cave was different. The further I went in, the higher the cave became. Now it is about 40 feet high, much higher than the three-story Herb Hall.

"Crack!" A sudden sound was heard, which was particularly terrifying in the silent cave.

Everyone's nerves suddenly tensed up, and Ye Xiaohan, who was in the lead, glanced around calmly.

The next moment, his ears moved and he seemed to hear some subtle sounds.

"There's a hidden arrow!"

As his voice fell, everyone heard a subtle sound.

When the flashlights and torches were illuminated, several secret compartments on the wall opened, and then some hidden crossbows appeared. In the blink of an eye, countless arrows with red light shot towards them.

Everyone had already made preparations after Ye Xiaohan's reminder.

When the red arrows shot towards him, Ye Xiaohan did not retreat at all. He drew out the soft sword from his waist. The long soft sword was like a swimming dragon, gracefully moving in the rain of arrows that was coming towards him.

While using the soft sword to cut off the flying arrows, Ye Xiaohan also moved his palm with one hand, and a dark red light emerged from his palm. He swung his palm, and then a circle of light like a fireball expanded forward, and all the red arrows that were coming towards them were bounced back.

Ye Xiaohan's wave of internal force halo not only repelled the first batch of fierce hidden arrows, but also gave Wei Song and other guards some breathing space.

As the wave of red arrows was bounced back, everyone heard another "crackling" sound as they dealt with the arrows coming from the other sides. That was the sound of the rebounded arrows destroying their corresponding hidden crossbows.

Once the hidden crossbow was broken, the arrows hidden in its mechanism could no longer be fired. The number of hidden arrows shot from the front was greatly reduced.

Everyone followed suit, cutting off the arrows flying around them and repelling them like the Night King. But even if their skills were among the best among the powerful warriors, how could they compare with the Night King, the god of war who dominated the four countries?

Therefore, they could not use all the arrows they chopped back to destroy the hidden crossbows, they could only destroy a few of them. What they could do more was to use sharp swords to chop down the hidden arrows flying towards them.

Ye Xiaohan and his group maneuvered among the swords flying from all directions, constantly changing their formation.

Wei Song and several guards wanted to surround Ye Xiaohan, but unexpectedly Ye Xiaohan protected them in the middle, blocking the arrows with a soft sword and rebounding some of the arrows back with his internal force.

The friction sound of arrows cutting through the air and the clash of swords and arrows mixed together, gently pulling at people's heartstrings.

Ye Xiaohan said in a deep voice: "The arrow is poisonous, be careful."

"Yes!" everyone responded.

Ye Xiaohan said coldly: "Hold on, the arrows will soon be exhausted."

Everyone felt warm in their hearts. They were not afraid of death when following the prince, and now they were even more motivated when they heard the prince's concern for them in his words.

After a while, most of the hidden crossbows on the wall were destroyed by Ye Xiaohan, and the others were damaged by Wei Song and several Hanying guards.

The number of arrows decreased and soon stopped.

Several guards used flashlights to shine around, and some guards lit a few more torches. Ye Xiaohan held the soft sword and looked around.

Then, he said calmly: "When we entered the door just now, those poisons were a barrier to prevent others from entering. The second barrier was the stone door. The third barrier was the hidden arrows in the secret compartment."

"All three barriers have been broken. Follow me and continue forward."

Ye Xiaohan turned around and glanced at the team. No one was injured, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Everyone readjusted their formation and set off again.

The further you go into the cave, the more depressing the atmosphere becomes, but the space also becomes larger.

After walking for a while, Ye Xiaohan noticed some light ahead.

“There may be someone ahead.”

Because there is natural light, it means that there may be gaps on the top or sides of the cave. Those gaps act like skylights, providing people inside the cave with breathing and light.

After walking about ten steps more, everyone saw a gap above their heads, and there were also several gaps the size of normal windows on the side of the mountain wall in front.

On both sides of the mountain wall, there were two rows of candlesticks, but the candles were not lit.

On the huge ground, there are some square stones on both sides, covered with some soft straw, which looks like a lobby place for people to rest.

This cave must have been inhabited by someone for a long time.

Wei Song frowned and said softly, "Master, there is no one here. Did they escape? Or, they just happened to not be in the cave today."

Ye Xiao said coldly: "They will be there. No matter how many people go out, there will be people left to guard."

Then, he glanced around again, and finally his eyes fell on a stone on the right side.

A small stone the size of an egg is placed on a large square stone.

Ye Xiaohan raised his eyebrows slightly and strode over.

Just like last time he opened the door, he simply covered his hand with a handkerchief and twisted the small stone.

At this time, everyone realized that the small stone could not be pulled out, but was tightly attached to the big stone like a mechanism. The prince was well versed in mechanisms and always found the key to the mechanism so quickly.

Ye Xiaohan turned the stone to the left, but there was no response.

Then he twisted it to the right with great force, and a "boom" sound was heard.

On the right hand side of the crowd, the wall that the small stone was leaning against shook, and a small square wall retreated to its sides.

Looking closely, I saw that there was a passage behind the small wall, and torches on both sides of the passage were still burning.

Ye Xiaohan walked in quickly, and after taking two steps he saw a huge stone door in front of him.

This time there were no small stones nearby. Wei Song and his two bodyguards took the initiative to search the wall, but they did not find any secret compartments.

Ye Xiaohan waved his hand: "This is where they live. They should have locked themselves in."

Ye Xiaohan simply raised his hands and gently pushed forward, and a dark red light expanded forward.

The huge stone door began to tremble, "BOOM!"

The stone door turned to slag, and everyone inside was shocked. They were resting in the cave, how could there be such a big noise all of a sudden!

Who is coming!
