A glimmer of light appeared in his eyes. Without turning around, his voice was indifferent yet firm: "This might be a gateway to life."

Luo Qianmo wasn't particularly skilled in the art of divination and escape; his ability to find the mechanism of the stone door was purely due to his keen sense of danger.

After the sound subsided, Xuanzhu, Xuanlan, and the others fought against the Gu creatures while rushing towards the stone gate.

These Gu seemed to sense the group's intentions and became even more ferocious in blocking them. The number of Gu surging towards the stone gate also suddenly increased, surging in in large swathes.

This scene caused Yuefei's expression to change drastically: "Your Highness, be careful!"

She grabbed the sword beside her and, with its strength, stood up shakily.

In such a dangerous situation, she would risk her life to protect His Highness and the young lady.

Luo Qianmo turned slightly and saw the densely packed swarms of Gu creatures behind him, almost without a single gap. His long, sharp eyebrows suddenly twitched, and his dark, deep eyes revealed an extremely dangerous aura.

"Clang—" The long sword in his hand flew out again, and hundreds or thousands of sword lights carrying a chilling aura rushed towards the dark mass of Gu creatures.

"Aow! Aow! Hiss! Squeak—" In an instant, screams rose from all sides, and the densely packed area finally began to show gaps.

Seeing this, Xuanzhu, Xuanlan, and the others fought even more fiercely, getting closer and closer to the stone gate.

"Eighth Prince, you should put me down, so I won't be a burden to you." Fang Qingyou felt that their situation must be extremely dangerous at the moment.

But all she received in response was silence, or more accurately, the constant screams of the Gu creatures.

Fang Qingyou rolled her eyes. Her words really had no effect on Luo Qianmo.

Most of these Gu-type creatures are melee attackers, so as long as you prevent them from getting close, there won't be much danger.

However, what happened soon afterward startled everyone.

"Whoosh—" Just as everyone was fighting fiercely against the Gu, a blood-red snake Gu suddenly darted out from a corner. The snake Gu was smaller than the ordinary snake Gu, but it had golden patterns on its body, and its body was a blood-red color.

"Hiss—" As the snake gu darted out, a stream of crimson venom spewed from its gaping maw, aimed directly at Luo Qianmo's location.

When the venom was still two meters away from Luo Qianmo, he sensed the danger and turned his eyes to see the crimson venom and the gaping maw.

His expression changed slightly, and he immediately dodged to the side while holding Fang Qingyou.

"Be careful, Your Highness!"

"Be careful, Your Highness!"

Yuefei and Xuanlan screamed almost simultaneously.

Xuan Lan, who had just broken through the encirclement, saw this scene and his expression changed drastically. He almost leaped over and pounced on the scene.

Luo Qianmo held Fang Qingyou and stood almost touching the stone door. However, when he landed, he felt that his right foot seemed to have accidentally touched something.

Just then, Xuanlan arrived and was about to say something when the stone door in front of her suddenly opened: "Click—"

The sound of a massive stone gate rising suddenly rang out.

"Your Highness!" Before Xuan Lan could react to what had happened, she saw Luo Qianmo's figure fall into the stone door.

Or rather, Luo Qianmo fell into the stone gate while carrying Fang Qingyou.

Xuanlan was about to give chase when she saw the red venom already upon her. After dodging the venom, she caught a glimpse of Yuefei's swaying body beside her, seemingly unable to escape the venom. With a quick thought, she pulled Yuefei to the side and bent down to avoid the venom, rushing towards the stone gate together.

Sensing the sudden change in their surroundings and hearing Xuan Lan's anxious exclamation, Fang Qingyou realized that she and Luo Qianmo might have accidentally left the underground cave.

He mustered his strength, turned his head, and looked around. He realized that he had entered the stone door, but the others were nowhere to be seen.

Sensing the tension in the person in his arms, Luo Qianmo patted her back reassuringly: "Don't be afraid, we'll be fine."

Little did she know that such words of comfort were not enough to soothe Fang Qingyou, because she realized that they must have opened the stone door in the wrong way.

Is the correct way the "life gate" and the wrong way the "death gate"?

Fang Qingyou didn't have time to think about all that, because she saw that the stone door, which had been open, suddenly began to close again.

After her and Luo Qianmo, it seemed that only two figures entered.

What about the rest of the people?

In that instant, Fang Qingyou bit her tongue hard again. The intense pain restored some of her mobility, and with all her might, she threw the purple jade bottle in her hand out of the stone gate.

"Lord Zhu, the antidote for the Gu poison..."

"Bang—" Before he could finish speaking, the stone door slammed down heavily.

Luo Qianmo was simple, leaving everyone with only the word "alive".

Suddenly, everything went dark.

Fang Qingyou breathed a slight sigh of relief. The moment the stone door closed, she saw the purple jade bottle fly out.

Although it was only a few words, with Xuan Zhu's intelligence, she should be able to understand what she meant.

The darkness lasted only a moment before the light returned.

Luo Qianmo took out that fist-sized luminous pearl again.

Fang Qingyou had already gotten used to Luo Qianmo's extravagance.

"Yuefei..." Fang Qingyou was about to speak to Xuanlan and Yuefei, who were standing a few steps away, when she suddenly felt her body fall downwards.

With a lowered gaze, the flat stones beneath her feet suddenly shifted to the side, revealing a dark, deep hole beneath her feet, causing her and Luo Qianmo to plummet downwards together.

"Your Highness!"

"girl!"

Xuan Lan reacted and immediately rushed over to grab Luo Qianmo, but their figures had already fallen into the darkness. The stone that had been moved suddenly moved back, separating him from them.

It was just a step, just a moment!

What he saw was Luo Qianmo's unchanging indifferent expression.

"Ah!" What reached his ears was Fang Qingyou's startled exclamation.

Xuan Lan stomped her foot in anger, stomping hard on the stone beneath her feet, but the stone did not budge.

Yuefei's expression was equally grim: "Lord Lan, you said His Highness and the young lady..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yuefei's heart skipped a beat, because she saw that the stone, which had been motionless, suddenly moved, revealing a dark, deep hole once again, just like before!

"Lord Lan, this..."

"Yuefei, let's go!" Before Yuefei could finish speaking, she felt her body suddenly plummeting into the deep hole.

Or rather, he was pulled down by Xuanlan.
