End of the World Crisis, My Husband is from Ancient Times

Chapter 95 Re-exploring the Treasure House

Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze stood in front of the gate of the royal treasury again, holding the pendant tightly in their hands.

The heavy warehouse door slowly opened, and an ancient breath blew in, carrying a hint of unsettling chill.

The two looked at each other, their eyes showing both uneasiness about the unknown and determination to fight to the death.

"Mengmeng, follow me closely." Teng Junze held Fan Mengmeng's hand tightly and spoke in a firm tone.

Fan Mengmeng nodded, and the two of them stepped into the treasure house cautiously.

The treasury is filled with a dazzling array of treasures, including mountains of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, which are too numerous to take in.

However, the two of them did not come here for these material things. They had only one goal - to find the source of energy.

The clue Xiaoyu gave was "Purple Air Coming from the East". These four words were like looking for a needle in a haystack in such a huge treasure house, making it impossible to find the answer.

Following Xiaoyu's instructions, the two first came to the east side of the treasure house, hoping to find some clues.

"Purple Air Coming from the East... Could it be referring to something purple?" Fan Mengmeng muttered to herself, looking around.

Suddenly, Teng Junze's expression changed, and he pulled Fan Mengmeng behind him. "Be careful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a "whoosh" sound was heard, and countless sharp arrows shot from all directions, and the two were immediately in danger.

Teng Junze waved the sword in his hand to deflect the arrows one by one, while Fan Mengmeng stuck closely behind him, still in shock.

"Oh my god! This is too exciting!" Fan Mengmeng couldn't help but complain, "The designer of this treasure house must be Lao Liu, there are traps everywhere!"

Teng Junze was blocking the sharp arrows while looking for the trigger point of the mechanism.

"Mengmeng, don't panic, let's find the control switch of the mechanism first."

The two stood back to back, observing their surroundings vigilantly.

The attack of sharp arrows became more and more fierce, and Teng Junze gradually felt that he was unable to cope.

"This won't work. We have to think of a way..."

At this moment, Fan Mengmeng's eyes fell on a protruding gem on the wall.

"Wait, look at that gem!"

"Gem?" Teng Junze followed Fan Mengmeng's gaze. The gem emitted a faint purple light...

"Purple Air Coming from the East... Could this be it?" Fan Mengmeng tentatively reached out to touch the gem.

"Don't move!" Teng Junze hurriedly stopped him, "Be careful, it's a trap!"

However, it was too late.

As soon as Fan Mengmeng's fingers touched the gem, the entire treasure house suddenly shook violently...

"Meng Meng!" Teng Junze exclaimed...

The treasure house shook violently, dust fell, and Teng Junze's heart was in his throat.

The expected danger did not appear. The vibration stopped quickly, and the surrounding sharp arrows also disappeared.

"Oh my god, luckily I reacted quickly!" Fan Mengmeng patted his chest, looking relieved that he had survived a disaster.

It turned out that at the critical moment, she remembered that Xiaoyu had mentioned that the mechanism of the treasure house was related to the ancient Bagua directions.

In a flash, she observed the surrounding environment and quickly found an inconspicuous groove in the corresponding direction. She pressed it hard, and the mechanism stopped working.

Teng Junze looked at Fan Mengmeng with admiration in his eyes. "Mengmeng, you are so smart!"

"Hey, it's no big deal!" Fan Mengmeng playfully stuck out her tongue. "This is a skill I developed playing escape rooms!"

The two continued to go deeper into the treasure house, and suddenly their eyes opened up. Instead of seeing a dazzling array of treasures, they saw a deep passage.

At the end of the passage, there are two forks in the road, one leading to light and the other leading to darkness.

"This...which road should I choose?" Fan Mengmeng looked at the two forks in the road and felt overwhelmed.

Teng Junze pondered for a moment and said, "The road on the left doesn't feel right. Let's go to the right."

Just as they were about to step into the right passage, a sinister laugh rang out from the darkness... "Hehehe... Want to find the energy source? That's not that easy!"

Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze exchanged glances, a sense of foreboding rising in their hearts... Teng Junze held Fan Mengmeng's hand...

Teng Junze held Fan Mengmeng's hand, his palm was warm and dry, conveying a reassuring power.

"Don't be afraid, Mengmeng. No matter what monsters are ahead, we will carry them together!" Fan Mengmeng held his hand in return, feeling the warmth of his palm, and her originally panicked heart gradually calmed down.

"Well! When the enemy comes, we will fight back with the army; when the water comes, we will block it with the earth. Who is afraid of who?" She raised her chin pretending to be relaxed, but she couldn't help complaining in her heart: Why does this ancient treasure hunting feel more exciting than the modern escape room?

Back then, I was a leader in the escape room industry!

Thinking of escaping the secret room, Fan Mengmeng had an idea.

and many more!

This scene, this atmosphere, why does it feel so familiar?

Isn’t this a classic maze routine?

There are two roads, one bright and one dark, which are obviously misleading!

According to the logic of the game, in this situation, the only way to find the real way is to play against the routine.

"Junze," Fan Mengmeng's eyes rolled as she came up with a plan. "I think... should we go left?"

Teng Junze was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting her to suddenly change her mind.

"Left? But..."

"Believe me!" Fan Mengmeng smiled mysteriously and pulled Teng Junze towards the passage on the left, leaving behind that cold laughter echoing in the darkness, "Hehehe... Stupid human..."

As soon as the two stepped into the passage on the left, the entrance to the passage suddenly closed, completely isolating them from the outside world.

At the same time, a sound of mechanical rotation came from the depths of the passage, accompanied by slight vibrations, as if some huge mechanism was being activated... Fan Mengmeng suddenly had a bad premonition, swallowed, and said weakly: "Uh... Junze, I suddenly feel that the road on the right seems not bad..." Teng Junze raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Fan Mengmeng with a guilty look, and his thin lips curled up in a playful arc.

"Mengmeng, aren't you an expert at escaping a secret room? Why are you scared now?"

Fan Mengmeng puffed out her cheeks and snorted in dissatisfaction.

"Who's scared? I'm just... making a strategic retreat! I'm just reassessing the situation!" She pointed to the right passage. "Look, didn't Xiaoyu say there's a 'strange glow' where the energy source is? The left side is pitch black, so it looks like a trap! The right side may look ordinary, but there might be something hidden!"

Teng Junze pretended to be in deep thought and touched his chin.

"What you said seems to make sense..." He paused, a cunning look flashing in his eyes, "But I still think the left side is more exciting!" As he said that, he pretended to walk to the left.

"Hey, hey, hey! Stop it!" Fan Mengmeng grabbed him and said, "A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall! Can't we just take it slow and steady?"

Teng Junze staggered when she pulled him, and smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, let's go to the right." Inner monologue: The little girl is quite opinionated.

The two walked carefully along the right passage. The walls on both sides of the passage were inlaid with luminous pearls, emitting a soft light, illuminating the road ahead.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the view suddenly opened up and a huge underground space appeared in front of them.

This space was much larger than any of the previous rooms. In the center stood a stone platform that reached into the clouds. Above the platform floated a huge crystal ball, emitting a dazzling light. It was exactly the "strange glow" that Xiaoyu had mentioned!

"Oh my god! This is so cool!" Fan Mengmeng couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. This scene is even more shocking than a Hollywood blockbuster!

Teng Junze was also shocked by the scene before him, but he quickly calmed down and looked around vigilantly.

"Mengmeng, be careful, this place might not be that simple."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground suddenly began to shake violently, and countless sharp blades suddenly extended from the walls around the stone platform, spinning rapidly towards the two of them!

"Oh my god! What the hell is this trap!" Fan Mengmeng exclaimed, pulling Teng Junze to roll on the ground, barely avoiding the attack of the blade.

"It seems that we guessed right. The real treasure is indeed here!" A hint of excitement flashed in Teng Junze's eyes. He drew the long sword at his waist and prepared to fight.

At this moment, the crystal ball suddenly shone brightly, and a powerful energy wave swept across the entire space. Fan Mengmeng felt a whiteout before her eyes, and she lost consciousness...

"Mengmeng! Mengmeng! Wake up!"

Fan Mengmeng opened her eyes drowsily and saw Teng Junze's anxious face.

"Jun Ze...what's wrong with me?"

Teng Junze helped her sit up and looked at her with complicated eyes.

"Just now... it seems that the crystal ball has sucked away some of your energy..."

"Energy?" Fan Mengmeng looked confused and looked down at her hands, but didn't find anything unusual.

Suddenly, she felt the jade bracelet on her wrist getting slightly hot. When she looked down, she found that the jade bracelet was emitting a faint fluorescence!

"This..." Fan Mengmeng widened her eyes in surprise, "This jade bracelet..."

Teng Junze also noticed the change in the jade bracelet, and a flash of shock flashed in his eyes. "Could it be..."

At this moment, a voice sounded in the empty space: "It seems that you have finally awakened..."

They both turned around at the same time, only to see a mysterious man in black clothes and a mask appear above the stone platform...
