C1413 First trap
Zhou Hao's God Power shocked everyone. Even Wang Xijun didn't expect Zhou Hao to be so capable, that such a thick stone door was shattered by him just like that, as if it had been blown apart by a missile. This was something that no one could imagine.
Thomas was also shocked. After being stunned for a while, he said in admiration, "I heard all this while that the Supreme Expert had surpassed the limits of human body, and I had never believed it. But now, it seems that he has truly become like a superhuman.
Previously, he had already sensed Xiao Yifeng's strength. However, in his opinion, aside from being quick and skilled, Xiao Yifeng might not be that powerful as well. In the eyes of the Americans, only strong and robust men were the hardest to deal with.
At that time, he didn't understand how Xiao Yifeng could defeat those non-human beings. Now, he finally understood that Xiao Yifeng's speed was good, his moves were fast and his strength was incredibly strong. Even an artificial being wasn't that strong.
Zhou Hao did not take Thomas's words seriously, he had already laid eyes on the scenery behind the stone door, the palace's entrance, the underground tomb's palace was not much different from the old palace, and it was also a place where the various palaces cooperated with each other. The main city of the palace they saw from the outside, was merely a palace relying on the rear mountains.
It was almost the same size as the outer palace walls. The inner palace was divided into several main halls and side halls, and behind this stone door was a marble floor. As for whether or not there were any traps, no one could guess.
No matter what, it was no wonder the Qing Dynasty was so corrupt at the end of the Qing Dynasty. It was already considered one of the oldest dynasties in ancient China, probably related to this dragon cave.
Zhou Hao was not a superstitious person, but he was able to reincarnate. He kept a more or less calm view of things that happened in the underground palace, he did not believe that he had a problem with the underground palace, maybe it was just like the buildings that blocked the signal, which blocked his premonition.
"Mr Zhou, there's no need to hesitate anymore. The door has already been opened, you can enter, we are all waiting for you to break the mechanism!" After Thomas finished praising Zhou Hao, he saw that he had not made a move and urged him on.
Zhou Hao nodded his head, and said solemnly: "I still have to say, I will take care of the mechanism for you, and I hope that you do not hurt Wang Xijun either." He had never had any experience exploring, but with his strength, it was unlikely that he would be so easily killed by the mechanisms.
After he walked in, Thomas and the others were waiting outside. They knew that there was a mechanism inside, if Zhou Hao was unable to break through the mechanism, they would naturally not casually go in, if not they would not even know how they died. They were all cunning people, Wang Xijun would not take the initiative to hurt them, she was the only one who could make Zhou Hao listen to them.
When he was outside, he could have been like this too, but that would have been because he did not know what Thomas and the others were planning. At the same time, he would have to be on guard against any sneak attacks, and he would not be able to use all of his strength in his Qing Gong. Now that he knew their goal, he could finally relax a little.
Logically speaking, the palace should be filled with traps, but when Zhou Hao went a hundred meters deeper, reaching the entrance of a main hall, there was still no movement, so the situation became extremely strange. Whether it was Zhou Hao or the others, they did not believe that there was no mechanism, it was completely illogical.
"Mr. Thomas, if you guys want the treasures, then come in. I have already walked over and there are no problems. Zhou Hao probed a bit and after discovering that there was no danger in his surroundings, he turned to Thomas and asked.
Wang Xijun was already in the other party's hands, so Zhou Hao couldn't be at ease to leave him outside, she was too far away from him. If Wang Xijun was near him, if the other party wanted to hurt him, she could at most save Wang Xijun with her injuries.
Thomas had already seen Xiao Yi Feng safely walk past the main hall's plaza, so he naturally discovered that there was no danger. Hearing his words, he didn't hesitate to converse with the few people beside him, and followed along the path that Zhou Hao had just walked in, quickly rushing towards Zhou Hao step by step. He really did not trust Zhou Hao to take the initiative by himself, as treasures could not be taken by him.
Zhou Hao had many women, and this was a well-known fact. If he neglected Wang Xijun's life for the sake of a treasure, no one could say for sure, because after all, everyone was a man. They thought that there was a possibility of something happening to Zhou Hao based on their own attitudes, and the safest way was to monitor him closely.
They had seen Zhou Hao's abilities before, but in the end, they still felt that they were not weak. With so many people working together, it wouldn't be hard for them to sneak attack Zhou Hao and make him steal away his soul.
Thomas and the others were all trained agents or powerful Martial Arts Master. Since Zhou Hao had to scout ahead, he naturally remembered the route he took very clearly, almost as if he was stepping on the footprints Zhou Hao had just passed, rushing straight towards the main hall. Even if he was not able to completely step on the area Zhou Hao had previously stepped on, he was still stepping on the same piece of marble.
According to their thoughts, this way of ending would definitely be safe. Thomas would be at the front of the Main Hall, with no problems, and the Indian yoga master suppressing Wang Xijun would be in the second place, with no problems either. The other yoga master would not be able to get even half a step ahead of his comrades, so there would naturally be no problems.
However, when the last American followed, his footsteps did not go wrong. It was only because he was stronger and heavier than the people in front of him, and because the marble already had five people walking through it, he was a little overwhelmed, but when he was about halfway, it suddenly collapsed.
When the Americans cried out in alarm, not only did Thomas and the other two not think of turning back to rescue, they ran even faster. No matter how big of a collapse there was, at least they could see that Zhou Hao's position did not affect him in the slightest.
Zhou Hao was also shocked when he was walking over from the distance. When he walked over, it was a clear path, and fortunately the one who fell into the trap was not Wang Xijun, instead, he was facing the direction of Thomas and the others, so he could clearly see that the area of collapse was only at least 30 metres away. As long as Wang Xijun was safe, he did not care about Thomas's people!
All the traps here, none of them were there to trap the newcomer, their entire goal was to kill him, so it couldn't be blamed on the people who constructed the underground cave in the Great Qing Dynasty, it was extremely hateful for the grave robbers, if he didn't come here accidentally, Zhou Hao would definitely not have participated in this grave robbery.
Just as Zhou Hao expected, Thomas and the others ran to Zhou Hao's side. When they turned around to look at the trap, they heard the miserable screams of the Americans, but they did not know what kind of trap he had ran into, and it actually did not end with a single scream. Instead, they cried out in pain for a few times before they gradually stopped.
Other than Zhou Hao and Wang Xijun, the other three were all sweating profusely. They suddenly felt that even with Zhou Hao there, they might not have been able to escape, if not for the attraction of the enormous treasure trove, they would have definitely gone back the way they came from.
Wang Xijun was not that afraid. She believed that if she was in danger, Zhou Hao would definitely come forward and save her. Just like this time, she had already been brought to Shen Yang by them and had followed Zhou Hao all the way here. Zhou Hao was not afraid of danger and had always been thinking of saving her.
"Mr Zhou, you saw our comrade fall into a trap, why didn't you lend a hand and let him die?" Calming his mind, Thomas glared at Zhou Hao and asked.
"Mr. Thomas, are you kidding me? You asked me to help you remove the trap, and now you ask me why I didn't save your people, is that funny? Furthermore, we can't really be considered to be in a cooperative relationship, you kidnapped my friends and threatened me, even if I can't kill all of you, at least I won't go and save your people." Zhou Hao shrugged and said.
With Zhou Hao's words, Thomas did not know what to say. His goal was for Zhou Hao to help him with breaking the mechanism for the palace tomb, so it could be considered cooperation with him, but since he had caught Zhou Hao and forced him to make a move, they could not really form a cooperative relationship, so his questioning was very unreasonable.
"Alright, let's just consider it as asking for too much, but you clearly came over and my people fell into a trap, how can you explain that? If you keep talking like this, we won't be able to leave the underground palace, similarly, if we can't leave, your friends can't hope for a better life." Thomas became angry from embarrassment and said fiercely.2
After hearing Thomas say this, the hand that was holding onto Wang Xijun's neck started to move slightly. Wang Xijun felt that her breathing became heavier, and her face started to redden, it was obvious that she was in pain, but she did not want Zhou Hao to worry. Ninja did not say anything.
This was also the first time Zhou Hao had seen Wang Xijun be this strong, causing her heart to ache. She hurriedly said: "Stop, I will break the trap as per our agreement, and not hurt my friend." Zhou Hao finally felt that there were a lot of things that weren't so easy to resolve today.
