The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

Chapter 127 Encountering Python Treasure

"click click"

The only sounds in the entire corridor were faint breathing and the sound of footsteps stepping on the passage.

Now, more than half an hour has passed since we came in, and we have encountered many traps along the way.

But most of them were common mechanisms such as crossbows and rolling stones. Since there were enough mechanism wizards, the journey was relatively smooth.

At this time, Yun Zhi was protected in the middle by others.

By the light of the torch, Yun Zhi looked down at the map in his hand. He had already walked two-thirds of the way. If all went well, he would arrive in about half an hour.

"Take the next fork to the left."

The artificer walking in front nodded, "Yes, my lord."

After turning into the next intersection, the road became wet, with occasional drops of water dripping from above.

The person walking in front touched the water dripping on his head and muttered quietly, "This section of road is not waterproofed well. It's leaking."

"I don't know how many hundreds of years it has been. It's already good enough to be able to do this."

"Yeah, I just hope there's no water seepage into the treasure trove, otherwise a lot of things will be ruined."

After walking for a while, I looked at the stone gate standing in front of me and said, "Hey, there is no way out again."

By now they were quite skilled in dealing with this situation. The mechanical engineer looked for the mechanism to open the door, while the others watched the surroundings vigilantly with weapons in hand.

After all, occasionally a mechanism wizard would accidentally touch other mechanisms, causing a lot of feather arrows to be shot out instantly.

While the mechanism master is searching for the mechanism to open the door, danger is quietly approaching.

At this moment, Yun Zhi was looking at the water droplets seeping out of the stone wall with some boredom. It might have been seeping for a long time, and a layer of moss had grown on it.

"Tick-tick-tick"

Water dripped from it drop by drop, mixed with a few "hissing" sounds.

Hearing this somewhat unusual sound, Yun Zhi gripped his sword tightly and turned around.

This sight made her pupils dilate slightly.

I saw that a huge python came in from behind at some point, its waist was almost as thick as an adult's thigh.

I don’t know how many mice and small animals it must have eaten to grow so big.

At this moment, it was crawling on the uneven rocks, staring at them with its huge head and spitting out its cold tongue.

It seems that they are so hungry that they don’t choose to hibernate, but come out to look for food.

"Everyone, be careful."

Everyone who heard Yun Zhi's voice was still a little confused, but Zhou Yifeng noticed it when Yun Zhi turned her head.

Looking at the python above, ready to strike, Zhou Yifeng lowered his voice and said, "Watch your head."

On the head?

Hearing this, everyone looked up.

This sight made countless people gasp.

Most of the people brought by Yun Zhi were well-trained and quickly calmed down after the initial panic.

Apart from……

"what!"

A mechanical wizard who was groping for a mechanism heard Zhou Yifeng's voice, looked up and saw the snake there.

He was so frightened that he screamed and fell to the ground.

This shout instantly broke the tense yet calm atmosphere.

The python was also stimulated by the cry, and it suddenly opened its bloody mouth and pounced on the guard closest to it.

Looking at the rapidly approaching snake head and the stench coming towards him, the guard immediately took a step back.

The python missed its target and crashed hard into the stone wall, sending rocks flying everywhere.

The flying stones cut his face, but the guard ignored the wound on his face and took a few steps back to join the others.

"Protect the lord!"

The guards quickly formed a circle and protected Yun Zhi in the middle.

One or two mechanical wizards who saw this situation screamed again. They didn't even know who accidentally touched a mechanism in the panic, and a lot of feather arrows were shot out at once.

This sudden change made it impossible for some guards to dodge and they suffered many injuries.

The python on the other side was already a little impatient because it missed the first attack, and was injured by the sudden feather arrow, becoming even more angry.

It twisted its body and attacked again.

Seeing this, Zhou Yifeng flashed and rushed to the front of the python, swinging his sword to block it.

"Let's go together!"

"Yes."

Regardless of their injuries, the guards raised their weapons and slashed at the python.

Yun Zhi looked at the pale-faced artificers who had fallen in front of the stone door. "Now is not the time to panic. Get up, find the mechanism, and open this door."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Hearing Yun Zhi's voice becoming somewhat stern, several mechanical wizards forced themselves to be alert, tremblingly got up from the ground, and continued to look for the mechanism of the stone door.

After seeing them get up and look for the mechanism, Yun Zhi turned her head and looked forward. Because the python was huge and the space they were in was small, it was impossible for them to perform any operations.

There were several times when it almost found an opportunity to catch the lone guard.

If you are rolled up by it, its strength could easily strangle you to death.

Fortunately, they cooperated well, and Zhou Yifeng kept attracting its attention, so the snake did not succeed.

But now it seems that they are still evenly matched, but one of them will be exhausted in a while.

Just as Yun Zhi was about to go forward to help, another mechanism wizard accidentally touched the mechanism.

A piece of floor in front of Yun Zhi suddenly disappeared. Seeing a guard about to fall in, she quickly grabbed his clothes and lifted him up.

Before the guard could say thank you, Yun Zhi put him down and walked straight towards the stone gate.

If this continues, Yun Zhi feels that sooner or later someone will die here.

When I selected these people before, I only focused on the quality of their skills.

I didn't expect that some of them would have such poor mental quality.

Looking at Yun Zhi who was approaching with a cold look, the hands of the person who had accidentally pressed the wrong mechanism were shaking.

"Lord."

Yun Zhi ignored the man and joined the team looking for the mechanism.

The king of the Song Dynasty took great pains to prevent thieves and set up so many mechanisms.

The Song Dynasty also experienced a period of prosperity, but thieves were rampant at that time and were even arrogant enough to steal from the national treasury.

So, a king of the Song Dynasty took out half of the silver and money in the national treasury and buried it in several places.

These maps were also left behind.

In order to prevent thieves from stealing the map, they only marked the route, and did not indicate the mechanism.

In fact, in addition to preventing thieves, the reason for doing this is to deal with emergencies.

The king never thought much about whether his descendants could get it.

Although there are many agencies involved, with the ability of the royal family, we can still get it by sending more people.

Yun Zhi did have some knowledge about the mechanism, but it pales in comparison to that of professionals.

After groping for a while, she found that the pattern in a small area was slightly different from other places.

She took the torch from the person next to her, looked at it closely for a while, and after confirming that there was indeed something different, she looked at the person who was still looking for the mechanism.

"Come and see if this is the place."

Upon hearing this, the most skilled mechanical engineer came out and looked at the place Yun Zhi pointed.

After a moment, he nodded and said, "This is it."

Under his operation, the stone door finally opened slowly.

Looking at the open door, Yun Zhi turned to look at the people who were still fighting the python, "Let's retreat."

Hearing Yun Zhi's voice, the guards fought and retreated, with Zhou Yifeng covering their retreat.

After Zhou Yifeng came in, the stone door closed, blocking the python outside.

With the help of the torch light, Yun Zhi saw that the surroundings were safe and looked at the injured guards.

"Treat the injury first."

"Yes."

After that, I never encountered such an emergency again.

During this period, he also encountered poisonous gas, but it was resolved because he brought the antidote with him in advance.

Half an hour later, the last stone door opened.

The treasure of the Song Dynasty has been found.
