"Oh my god, is this door welded shut?" Fan Mengmeng couldn't help but complain as she looked at the motionless door.

Was the ancient technology tree clicked wrong? This thing looks stronger than a bank vault!

Teng Junze frowned slightly, and his slender fingers stroked the cold metal door, feeling the strange patterns on it.

"The mechanism on this door seems to have been tampered with." He turned to look at General Sun, "General, do you know if there are other entrances to this treasure house?"

General Sun looked embarrassed, "This... I don't know. Since the construction of this treasure house, there has only been this main entrance, and the rest are dead ends. In order to prevent thieves, there are many traps inside. If you take a wrong step..." He didn't finish, but the meaning was very clear, that is, death is certain.

"It's really incredible!" Fan Mengmeng felt a headache. The way things were done in ancient times was too unreliable.

The end of the world is coming, and yet they still set up such a complicated mechanism, as if they are afraid that others can get in.

She circled the treasury door twice, trying to find some clues, but there was nothing except towering walls and strict guards.

The guards all had expressionless faces, holding long spears, like statues. No matter how Teng Junze tried to reason with them or appeal to their emotions, they remained indifferent.

Fan Mengmeng even suspected that these people were programmed to only repeat the phrase "No outsiders allowed to approach."

Fan Mengmeng sighed and was about to use her ultimate weapon - the art of acting like a spoiled child, when suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a figure passing by out of the corner of her eye.

"Wait!" She grabbed Teng Junze, "I think I saw something..."

Fan Mengmeng darted out like a nimble cat, leaving Teng Junze and General Sun looking at each other in bewilderment.

She followed the figure and came to a hidden corner on the side of the treasure house.

There were some miscellaneous items piled there, and a thin figure was hiding behind them, shivering like a frightened little rabbit.

"Hey, little sister, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person." Fan Mengmeng tried to soften her voice and showed a smile that she thought was amiable.

The figure trembled even more violently, wishing he could squeeze himself into the crack of the wall.

Only then did Fan Mengmeng see clearly that this was a little girl wearing coarse linen clothes. She was not very old, only about twelve or thirteen years old, and her big eyes were full of fear.

"I... I'm not a bad person..." the little girl said timidly, her voice as thin as a mosquito.

"I know, I know. You are a...um...staff member here, right?" Fan Mengmeng couldn't think of the right words for a moment and could only speak vaguely.

The little girl nodded, then shook her head, "I...I'm Xiaoyu, the treasure house's...maid."

"Hello, Xiaoyu. My name is Fan Mengmeng." Fan Mengmeng squatted down and looked at Xiaoyu at eye level. "I have something I want to ask you. Is that okay?"

Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, looked at the strict guards not far away, then looked at Fan Mengmeng's sincere eyes, and finally nodded.

"Do you know if there are other entrances to this treasure house?" Fan Mengmeng went straight to the point.

Xiaoyu became nervous again, biting her lip and not saying anything.

Fan Mengmeng knew that the little girl must know something, but she was afraid of being punished if she said it out loud.

So, she changed her approach.

"Xiaoyu, look, the situation is very urgent. We need to go in and find something very important. It concerns the lives of many people. If you know anything, please tell us and we will protect you."

Fan Mengmeng's words were half true and half false. They did not reveal too much information, but successfully aroused Xiaoyu's sympathy.

The little girl hesitated for a long time, and finally whispered: "I... I know a secret passage, but..."

"But what?" Fan Mengmeng asked.

"But I can't tell you. If I tell you, I'll be beheaded..." Xiaoyu's tears suddenly flowed down.

Fan Mengmeng hated to see girls cry, so she quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. "Don't cry, don't cry. You don't have to tell me. Just tell me where the secret passage is, and I'll go see it myself. Is that okay?"

Xiaoyu sobbed, looked at Fan Mengmeng, then looked in the direction of the treasure house gate. Finally, she stretched out her trembling little finger and pointed at an inconspicuous stone wall on the left side of the treasure house... "There... is a... loose brick..." Xiaoyu's voice was as thin as a thread, and she covered her mouth tightly after she finished speaking.

Fan Mengmeng looked in the direction Xiaoyu's trembling finger was pointing, and sure enough, on the left side of the treasure house, a seemingly ordinary stone brick was slightly protruding, which was out of tune with the surrounding bricks that fit together perfectly.

Wow, this is hidden so well!

If Xiaoyu hadn't pointed it out, she would never have discovered it even if you killed her!

Fan Mengmeng silently gave Xiaoyu a thumbs up in her heart. This little girl is really a treasure girl!

Teng Junze looked at Fan Mengmeng talking to Xiaoyu, his eyes full of love.

He felt that Fan Mengmeng's kindness was like a ray of warm sunshine in winter, which could melt all the ice.

This made him even more determined to protect her.

He walked over to Fan Mengmeng, gently held her hand, and gave her an encouraging look.

Fan Mengmeng shook Teng Junze's hand back, feeling the warmth of his palm, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She remembered that in modern times, she also relied on sincerity and kindness to gain a group of close friends.

"Sincerity is always the ultimate weapon!" She silently encouraged herself in her heart.

"Xiaoyu, thank you." Fan Mengmeng thanked Xiaoyu again, then pulled Teng Junze towards the loose stone brick.

She took a deep breath, held her breath, and carefully pressed the brick.

With a light "click" sound, the stone bricks sank inward, followed by a rumbling sound. The stone walls slowly moved to both sides, revealing a pitch-black passage.

Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes.

What secrets are hidden behind this secret passage?

Xiaoyu looked at the slowly opening secret passage and her face turned pale instantly.

She subconsciously wanted to stop them, but she didn't dare to make a sound.

She bit her lips tightly, her heart was in turmoil, and she was struggling.

"Am I...am I doing this...right?" she murmured to herself in a voice that only she could hear.

"Mengmeng, let's go!" Teng Junze took Fan Mengmeng's hand and stepped into the secret passage first.

Fan Mengmeng looked back at Xiaoyu and gave her a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, we will be fine." After that, she followed Teng Junze and disappeared into the darkness.

Xiaoyu looked at the empty corner, her heart hanging in the air, unable to calm down for a long time.

She knew that there was no turning back... "Princess... I..." Xiaoyu covered her mouth, tears silently sliding down her face.

It was pitch dark in the secret passage. Teng Junze took out a night pearl from his arms, and the faint light illuminated the road ahead.

"High technology didn't work well in ancient times. Fortunately, I was prepared!" Fan Mengmeng joked with a smile and took out a flashlight from her backpack. The strong light instantly dispelled the darkness, making the night pearl pale in comparison.

“This is the eternal God!”

The two walked forward along the narrow passage. There were strange patterns carved on the walls on both sides of the passage, which looked like some ancient characters or some mysterious symbols.

Fan Mengmeng took out her cell phone, took a few photos, and prepared to go back and study them carefully.

"Maybe it's some lost civilization. Wouldn't I be all over the internet by then? I'm kind of excited just thinking about it!"

Teng Junze looked at Fan Mengmeng's excitement and smiled indulgently.

"You are always so full of energy."

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the front. Fan Mengmeng immediately turned off the flashlight, held her breath, and hid behind the wall with Teng Junze.

"What's going on? Could it be a mouse? I'm most afraid of that thing!" Fan Mengmeng muttered softly.

Teng Junze gripped the sword tightly in his hand and looked ahead vigilantly.

The sound was getting closer and closer, as if something was crawling towards them.

"Get ready for battle!" Teng Junze whispered.

Fan Mengmeng also clenched her fists nervously, ready to use her "Eighteen Anti-Wolf Techniques" at any time.

However, when the thing appeared in front of them, both of them were stunned.

That wasn't some scary monster, but a... snow-white kitten?

The kitten tilted its head and looked at them curiously, then meowed, walked over with graceful steps, and rubbed against Fan Mengmeng's feet.

"Ah, this..." Fan Mengmeng was completely speechless, and the tense atmosphere just now disappeared in an instant.

"This is such a reversal! It scared the hell out of me!"

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard from deep in the secret passage. "Oh no! Someone is coming!" The kitten suddenly stood up and let out a low growl in the direction of the footsteps.

"Mengmeng, be careful!" Teng Junze pulled Fan Mengmeng behind him and stared at the depths of the secret passage with sharp eyes.

"Who?!" A sharp voice echoed in the secret passage.

"Oh no! It's the treasure house guard!" Xiaoyu's voice came from behind, "Run!"

Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.

run?

How can it be!

It took so much effort to find this place, how can I give up so easily!

"It seems that there will be a fierce battle today!" Teng Junze drew out his sword, pointing the tip straight forward, and a fierce murderous aura instantly spread out.
