I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

The thick darkness in the valley seemed to swallow everything, and the cold air was like a slippery snake, wrapping around everyone's neck.

Zhaoyang Ruyue's heart was filled with alarm, and a strong sense of unease made her stop.

"and many more!"

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of burly men holding spears suddenly jumped out of the woods on both sides of the valley and surrounded them.

The leader was the Qin envoy whom they had met in Chief Han’s tent before. He had a sinister smile on his face, like a weasel that had stolen a chicken.

"Hey, aren't these the 'distinguished guests'? What, are you trying to sneak away?"

The Qin envoy's sarcastic words made Bao Na and others instantly understand their current situation.

"We are just heading to our destination according to the instructions of fortune teller Tang. What do you mean?" Bao Na suppressed her anger and tried to reason.

"What do you mean? You outsiders are sneaking around and you look like you are not good people! I suspect you are spies with bad intentions!" The Qin envoy waved his hand, and the strong men behind him immediately stepped forward and surrounded them more tightly.

"If you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext!" Wumeng Tianlong shouted angrily, drew out the dagger he carried with him, and took a defensive posture.

Zhaoyang Ruyue also drew her dagger and calmly observed the situation around her. She whispered to Baona and Wumeng Tianlong, "It looks like a fierce battle is inevitable today. I'll cover you while you find a chance to break out."

"Want to run? Not so easy!" The Qin envoy seemed to see through their thoughts and ordered with a sly smile, "Catch him!"

A melee broke out instantly.

Wumeng Tianlong was agile and moved among the crowd like a cheetah. The dagger in his hand flashed with cold light, and every swing brought about a bloody storm.

Zhaoyang Ruyue is like a poisonous snake, with every move deadly, specifically attacking the enemy's vital points.

Although they fought bravely, the enemy outnumbered them, and gradually they began to lose strength and suffered many wounds.

At this moment, the Qin envoy gave an order: "Capture them alive! I will bring them back and treat them well!"

Zhaoyang Ruyue staggered and was nearly stabbed by a strong man's spear.

The situation was critical, and he was about to be captured... Suddenly, a voice came from a distance: "Stop!"

In the distance, dust was flying, and a figure riding a strong wild horse was galloping towards them.

The man on horseback shouted loudly, and the sound became closer and clearer.

When everyone looked closely, they found that it was Amu, a member of the small tribe who had been rescued by Zhaoyang Ruyue when he was lost in the forest before!

Amu rushed over on horseback, dismounted, and spoke a lot to the Qin envoy, his words full of excitement and anger.

The Qin envoy's face gradually turned from smug to ashen, and he felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.

It turned out that Amu told the leader of the tribe to which the Qin envoy belonged about how Zhaoyang Ruyue and others had saved him, as well as the prediction of the Tang fortune teller.

The leader knew that Tang the fortune teller's predictions were never wrong. If he offended Zhaoyang Ruyue and others, he would undoubtedly ruin his future. So he immediately sent Amu to stop the conflict.

After listening to Amu's explanation, the Qin envoy knew that he had fallen into the "trap" of the Tang fortune teller. He cursed "old fox" in his heart, but pretended to be calm on his face: "It turned out to be a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! Since the Tang fortune teller has spoken, we naturally dare not stop him." After that, he glared at Baona and others fiercely, waved his hand, and left with his men in disgrace, like a wild dog running away with its tail between its legs.

"What a plastic villain!" Wumeng Tianlong curled his lips in disdain as he looked at the Qin envoy's receding back.

Amu excitedly held Zhaoyang Ruyue's hand and thanked her repeatedly.

Zhaoyang Ruyue smiled slightly: "It's just a small favor, you're welcome." Everyone came forward and hugged Amu, and their friendship became even deeper.

Amu told them that he had arranged everything and could take them safely across the tribal territory.

Everyone said goodbye to Amu and continued to move towards the ruins of the ancient Queen of Dian.

Just as they were about to enter a new territory, Historian Kong suddenly stopped and pointed to a towering mountain in front of them. His voice trembled, "Look... there..."

In the direction that Historian Kong pointed, a towering mountain reached into the sky, its peak hidden in the clouds, like a giant shrouded in a mysterious veil.

The surface of the mountain is covered with strange patterns, which look very much like ancient Dian characters, and sparkle with strange light in the sun.

"Wow! Could this be the legendary... bedroom of the ancient Queen of Dian?!" Wumeng Tianlong widened his eyes, his tone full of disbelief.

"Correct!" Diviner Tang stroked his nonexistent beard, looking calm and composed. "According to my calculations, the ruins of the Ancient Dian Queen are at the top of this mountain."

Everyone immediately became excited. After climbing over mountains and crossing rivers and overcoming many obstacles, they were finally going to see the light!

This feeling is even better than having ten consecutive draws from a European emperor!

Amu excitedly pointed to a winding path on the mountain peak. "This path leads to the top of the mountain, but..." He paused, his expression becoming serious. "This path is very dangerous. It's said to have many ancient mechanisms and traps."

"A mechanism? A trap? No big deal!" Wu Meng Tianlong patted his chest confidently. "Back in the day, I was a king in escape rooms!"

"Don't talk nonsense..." Baona held her forehead helplessly. She had seen the power of a crow's mouth many times.

Everyone climbed up along the winding path, being very careful all the way, for fear of triggering any mechanism.

There was a tense atmosphere in the air, as if a pair of invisible eyes were watching their every move in secret.

After walking for a long time, they came to the entrance of a cave.

The entrance to the cave was blocked by a huge stone with some strange symbols carved on it.

"Is this... a seal?" Zhaoyang Ruyue carefully observed the symbols on the stone, frowning.

Diviner Tang stepped forward, touched the symbols on the stone with his hand, and muttered something.

Suddenly, the stone emitted a dazzling light and slowly moved to both sides, revealing a pitch-black hole.

A cold breath surged out of the cave entrance, making people shiver.

"High-energy warning ahead!" Wumeng Tianlong swallowed and felt like he was playing a horror survival game.

Baona took a deep breath, raised the torch, and stepped into the cave first.

Zhaoyang Ruyue followed closely behind, and the others followed in one after another.

The cave was pitch black, with only the faint light from the torches illuminating a small area around it.

Suddenly, Diviner Tang stopped and pointed to an open space in front of him. His voice trembled, "Look... there..."
