Entertainment Secrets: Playing the role of Qilin, Mimi loves it so much

Chapter 214: Mortise and tenon, you even know this!

There were many boxes piled up in the corner of the warehouse, each box was filled with food, daily necessities and clothes.

Zhang Dada asked, "Can we say we've made a fortune?" Meng Ziyi smiled and said, "Of course we've made a lot of money!"

Ye Bai walked over and checked the sealing structure of these boxes.

At this time, Yang Mi walked to a box and said in surprise: "There is a safe here!" Meng Ziyi rushed over excitedly after hearing it and opened the safe. There was a stack of banknotes inside, estimated to be at least five thousand yuan.

Everyone cheered, while Ye Bai frowned.

"Ye Bai, what's wrong?" Zhang Dada couldn't help but ask when he saw his serious expression. Ye Bai said, "The key to the box isn't an ordinary iron chain, but made of some kind of metal. I just tried to chop it with a knife, but it had no effect."

"Then how do we leave here? Do we have to wait for rescue?" Meng Ziyi asked doubtfully. Ye Bai sighed and said, "I'm afraid we can't wait any longer."

As soon as the words fell, a ticking sound was heard. Everyone immediately became alert. Soon, the ticking sound became closer and closer. They could feel that the thing was slowly approaching.

Suddenly, a huge snake head emerged from the corner, its long tongue sticking out in the air. It stared at everyone, its scarlet eyes emitting a dangerous aura.

Zhang Dada was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. Ye Bai immediately protected him behind him and raised his pistol, aiming at the snake's head. The snake's head suddenly retreated as if frightened.

Yang Mi patted her chest and said, "How scary!"

Zhang Dada complained, "If I had known I'd encounter such a ferocious monster, I wouldn't have come to this damn place." Ye Bai said calmly, "Everyone, pay attention to your surroundings. I suspect these snakes are just illusions."

"Ah!" A girl screamed in fear. Two blue-gray centipedes as thick as thumbs crawled on her legs. They gnawed at her legs, and blood was dripping.

Yang Mi quickly helped the girl up, and Ye Bai thrust the pistol into her hand. "Hold it," he said. He then pulled a bottle of gasoline from his backpack and doused the two centipedes with it. Instantly, flames erupted, and the centipedes fled, screaming miserably.

Everyone looked at the burnt centipede corpse in surprise, and were glad that they did not step on the poisonous insect.

"We must find another key immediately, otherwise none of us can get out." Ye Bai said.

Everyone searched and finally found a small black box in the corner. Yang Mi opened the box and took out a pair of silver bracelets. "This... this is my mother's legacy," Yang Mi said.

Ye Bai took the silver bracelet and examined it carefully. It was very simple, with cracks all over its surface, and it looked like it had been worn through the years. "Is there anything special about this bracelet?" Zhang Dada asked as he came over.

Ye Bai shook his head: "I'm not sure at the moment. But if we can really travel through the world, wearing the bracelet may allow us to return to the past."

"It's amazing!" Yang Mi said excitedly, holding the bracelet and kissing it again and again. "Then why is this the only bracelet left here?" Ye Bai asked, looking at the boxes.

Meng Ziyi explained: "Because the bracelet is the only key, the other keys have been destroyed."

Ye Bai handed the bracelet to Yang Mi and said seriously: "Since the bracelet is the key, please leave it to you for safekeeping. If anyone disobeys orders, they will be killed without mercy!" Everyone nodded solemnly.

Ye Bai took the lead and walked forward. Zhang Dada nervously held Ye Bai's arm and said, "Ye Bai, that box will spray poison needles."

"It's okay." Ye Bai said, "I can dodge it." Zhang Dada finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, Ye Bai, what exactly are you capable of?" Zhang Dada asked curiously, "Why do you always manage to escape danger?"

Ye Bai smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, I just hope you don't forget our agreement."

"Don't worry! I, Zhang, always keep my word!"

After walking a few steps, a door suddenly appeared in front of them. Yang Mi pushed it open and found another passage inside.

Everyone followed Ye Bai into the passage. After walking for a while, the view suddenly opened up. They stood at the edge of a cliff, a thousand-foot abyss before them, and a steep slope that sloped straight down. At the base of the cliff, a massive palace stood. Above it, dense dark clouds drifted.

"What a magnificent sight!" Meng Ziyi exclaimed. "I guarantee it's the only one of its kind in the world."

Yang Mi said, "Is this the legendary paradise?"

Everyone looked toward the towering palace. It was vast and majestic, like a fairyland. A light blue mist enveloped the palace. Ye Bai watched all this and wondered: What should I do this time?

Suddenly, a sharp and piercing chirping sound came to their ears. Looking in the direction of the sound, they were shocked to find a group of bats, numbering a hundred, circling below the cliff.

Yang Mi tugged at Ye Bai's sleeve fearfully. "Ye Bai, what should we do?"

Ye Bai comforted them, "Don't panic, let's retreat first." They returned along the same path, only to find that the exit that should have been behind them had become distant and blurry. Ye Bai frowned and continued walking forward. Soon, they found a second exit, a cave far away from the first.

Ye Bai turned around and found that the cave had disappeared. They had no choice but to continue forward. Then, at the cave's entrance, they discovered a third exit. This time, they were finally certain that this was a massive maze. Aside from where they stood and the cave walls, the entire forest was a circular maze. Without the key, no one could escape.

Ye Bai said, "Don't panic, let's sit down and rest for a while." Everyone sat down one by one, drank water and ate dry food. Zhang Dada asked Ye Bai, "What do you think?"

Ye Bai pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that we can only start from that palace."

Meng Ziyi suggested, "Why don't we try to destroy the statue first?"

"That won't do!" Zhang Dada immediately retorted, "This is the most precious treasure of the ancient Egyptian royal family. It must not be touched!"

"How do you know?" Yang Mi asked.

"Uh, my grandfather told me." A hint of embarrassment flashed across Zhang Dada's face. "He also said that the statue was once the tombstone of my ancestors. If we touch it, we won't be able to reincarnate after we die."

Yang Mi curled her lips and said, "Then you dare to move that thing away?"

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it." Zhang Dada scratched his head.

Yang Mi ignored him and said to Ye Bai, "I think we should just follow what Ye Bai says. He knows more than us."

Zhang Dada was anxious: "Hey hey hey...what's wrong with you, girl? Why do you always stick your elbows outward?"

Ye Bai smiled: "It's okay. You'll be right if you listen to me." They rested for a while, then stood up and walked towards the magnificent castle. The closer they got to the castle, the colder and more humid the air became.
