Chapter 313 "The Search for the Secret Treasure Amidst the Tumultuous Journey of the Martial Wo
Song Qianyi realized that this was the final test, and only by breaking through the obstruction of these "guardians" could she truly obtain the secret treasure.
She quickly glanced around and whispered to her companions.
"Don't panic, everyone. This should be a high-tech mechanism. It looks like an ancient guard, but it must actually contain a modern control mechanism."
"Yu Zi, Di Di, Huan Yan, pay close attention to the changes in the light and shadow on the ground as the guards move, and see if there are any clues that trigger mechanisms."
"Qiqi and Xie Xiaoying, you two keep an eye on the ceiling and the walls around us, look for any hidden control devices or hacking clues."
After saying that, everyone quickly got to work.
Shi Yu, Gu Didi, and Li Huanyan crouched down, their eyes fixed on the ground as the guards moved around.
They discovered that whenever the guards took certain steps, the floor tiles would flash a faint blue light.
Shi Yu hurriedly called out.
"Qianyi, something's happening here! The blue light on the ground seems to be related to the guards' actions!"
Song Qianyi looked up, her eyes quickly searching the ceiling.
Sure enough, a hidden camera was spotted in the corner, flashing a barely perceptible red light.
She was secretly delighted. "The cameras on Qiqi and Xie Xiaoying's side must be the key. We need to find a way to interfere with them or find the control terminal they are connected to."
At this moment, the guards' attack formation became increasingly tight, their sharp blades flashing with cold light as they were wielded, forcing everyone to retreat step by step.
Gu Didi was a little anxious and accidentally bumped into a vintage bookshelf behind her.
The bookshelf wobbled, and a tattered notebook fell out from a hidden compartment.
Song Qianyi reacted quickly, grabbing the notebook and flipping through it rapidly. It was filled with dense formulas and strange symbols.
On the last page, a string of numbers was circled in red.
A sudden thought flashed through Song Qianyi's mind. Combining what she had seen earlier about the camera and the light and shadow on the ground, she guessed that this might be a password.
She shouted loudly to her companions.
"Hold on, everyone! I'll go try to crack it!"
As she spoke, she ran toward the control panel with an electronic lock in the corner of the secret room and entered the string of numbers.
For a split second, the guards paused in their movements.
Song Qianyi was secretly delighted. It seemed that she was on the right track. She continued to follow the instructions in her notes and quickly operated the buttons on the control panel to adjust the frequency of light and shadow.
With a slight mechanical whirring, the guards slowly lowered their weapons and retreated into their respective hidden compartments.
The previously tightly closed treasure chest clicked open automatically.
The crowd cheered excitedly, rushed forward, and gently opened the treasure chest, from which a dazzling light emanated.
This is the secret treasure of the day—the Seven Star Gem.
Beneath the gemstone were six specially made secret chamber badges. These badges were also a reward for Song Qianyi and his companions for clearing the level.
The group carefully put away the seven-star gems and badges, and left the secret chamber satisfied.
As soon as they stepped outside, the bright light made everyone feel a little uncomfortable, and they all raised their hands to shield their eyes.
After calming down, Song Qianyi and the others did not rush to leave, but stood quietly by the exit of the secret room, waiting, since they still had a bet with Liu Tianliu to complete.
At this moment, Liu Tianliu and his companions, who had been chased by the red-haired man all the way, stopped panting heavily.
Liu Tianliu also knew that he had chosen the wrong path.
Thinking of his bet with Song Qianyi, Liu Tianliu's face instantly turned ugly, and he unconsciously paused for a moment.
The correct path lies between the remaining two, but it's uncertain whether Song Qianyi has chosen the right one.
Then he came up with the idea of "planting" someone.
Liu Tianliu secretly thought to himself that if they made the wrong choice, they would definitely slink away in disgrace.
If they were to be incredibly lucky and choose the right person, given Song Qianyi's temperament, she would definitely make him honor the bet immediately, which would be too embarrassing for him.
He glanced furtively at his equally disheveled companion beside him, then leaned closer and whispered something.
"Let's not go out yet, let's linger here for a while."
The two companions exchanged a glance and instantly understood Liu Tianliu.
That's why we say birds of a feather flock together.
So, in the stuffy, red-mist-filled passage, the group pretended to still be searching for a way out, occasionally making noises as if they were solving a puzzle.
They had circled back and forth in this high-temperature, red-fog-filled passage several times, with nowhere to go.
Each attempt to crack the mechanism ended in failure, and the intense heat emanating from the walls stung their skin.
The passage was completely blocked, leaving them with nowhere to go; they were merely stalling for time.
Time passed by, and the deadline for the escape room was fast approaching.
