Chapter 164 Trapped in a Trap
After Mu San left, Dark Moon Fairy's eyes became extremely cold, as if the whole world was frozen. Her beautiful face revealed a hint of determination and firmness. She gritted her teeth gently, and then flew towards the east of the city without hesitation.
Soon, she arrived at Huang Zhirui's residence. This residence looked nothing special, and was no different from other ordinary officials' residences. However, Dark Moon Fairy knew that there must be some unknown secrets hidden in it.
She carefully flew into the Huang Mansion, flitting between corners like a light butterfly. She cleverly avoided the guards' sight and quietly searched around the mansion. She carefully observed every room and every corner, not missing any clues.
Time passed by, but Dark Moon Fairy did not find anything unusual. This made her begin to doubt whether her judgment was wrong. However, she did not give up easily and continued to explore this seemingly ordinary mansion.
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Huang Zhirui had returned to the mansion without her noticing. He hurriedly walked towards a rockery in the yard without stopping. He stretched out his right hand and gently turned a moss-covered stone on the rockery a few times.
Something surprising happened - the seemingly ordinary stone seemed to be cast with magic. As it turned, a hidden entrance to a secret passage suddenly appeared in the rockery.
Huang Zhirui stepped into the secret passage without hesitation, and his figure instantly disappeared into the darkness. A moment later, there was only a slight sound, and the secret passage door slowly closed. The entire rockery looked as if nothing had ever happened before, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.
Time passed by, and finally, Huang Zhirui appeared next to the rockery again. This time, he had a thick stack of account books in his arms, which he held tightly to his chest as if they were the most precious treasures in the world. His expression was serious and focused, as if he was full of awe for these account books.
After Huang Zhirui walked away, Dark Moon Fairy walked to the rockery carefully. She moved lightly, as if she was afraid of waking something up. She carefully observed the environment around the rockery, and then skillfully opened the entrance to the secret passage in the rockery according to the method she remembered.
Dark Moon Fairy dodged into the dark passage, which was pitch black, and she could not see her hand in front of her face. She groped forward cautiously, and was full of vigilance with every step.
Suddenly, she felt like she was stepping on empty air and her body instantly lost balance. Before she could react, she fell directly into a deep trap.
Dark Moon Fairy was startled, and she took a deep breath and tried to jump out of the trap. However, at this moment, a thick poisonous smoke came out from above her head. This poisonous smoke was so fierce that it was impossible to avoid it.
Dark Moon Fairy didn't dare to delay for even a second and immediately held her breath. She knew that if she inhaled the poisonous smoke, the consequences would be disastrous. She tried to stay calm and think about how to deal with it.
When she fell to the bottom, she found herself in a closed space. The walls were as smooth as mirrors, and there was no place to climb. The poisonous smoke continued to emerge from above her head, filling the entire space. In a closed space surrounded by stone walls...
In the dark, Dark Moon Fairy gently tapped the surrounding walls with her red umbrella, trying to find a way out.
She carefully tested each stone wall, but found that the stone walls here were unusually thick and seemed to have no flaws.
Time passed by, and the poisonous smoke that kept coming out from above her head made Dark Moon Fairy feel difficult to breathe. She knew very well that if she didn't block the source of the poison as soon as possible, she would probably have a hard time escaping.
Dark Moon Enchantress tightly grasped the red umbrella in her hand, took a deep breath, mobilized all her energy, and slammed down towards the stone wall with all her strength.
There was a loud bang, and she knocked off a small piece of the stone wall. However, this was far from enough, and she had to use these broken stones to completely block the leakage of the poisonous smoke.
Without hesitation, Dark Moon Enchantress used her inner strength to roll up the rubble into the air one by one, and accurately hit the smoking area above.
Once, twice, three times... After several efforts, Dark Moon Enchantress finally succeeded in sealing the poisonous smoke mechanism above her head.
She was exhausted at this time, and the poisonous smoke she had inhaled began to take effect in her body. But she did not stop, but endured the discomfort and continued to look for a way to leave this place.
She searched around the stone wall for a long time but couldn't find any flaws. She thought the purpose of this trap was to trap people to death!
Dark Moon Fairy sighed helplessly, her body leaning against the stone wall due to exhaustion. She reached into her arms, took out a detoxification pill and swallowed it. Although this detoxification pill could not completely remove the poison in her body, it could at least slow down the onset of the poison.
She closed her eyes tightly, trying her best to preserve the remaining strength in her body. In her current condition, it was simply a pipe dream to want to break the stone wall! She had no other choice but to wait, hoping that Huang Zhirui's men would be able to detect her intrusion in time. As long as they came in, she could kill them. Maybe there was still a glimmer of hope for her...
After Xueying heard what Shang Lu said, his expression instantly became extremely cold, and he asked in a chilling tone: "Have you actually found the location of the secret passage set up by Huang Zhirui?"
Shang Lu nodded without hesitation and said, "I have some concerns about this matter. I think this secret passage may be the key clue for us to track down the prince and hide his troops privately!"
After a brief thought and consideration, Xueying turned to look at Shang Lu and solemnly instructed: "I will go there in person tonight to investigate, and you need to stay outside to take charge of the arrangements! Remember, do not act rashly to avoid alerting the enemy and ruining the matter!"
Shang Lu said anxiously, "Master! In my opinion, why don't you let me go and find out the situation first? After all, no one knows what kind of danger is hidden here. If something happens to you, how can I explain it to my brothers in the sect..."
Xueying personally reached out and patted Shang Lu on the shoulder, comforting him: "Don't worry! My skills have now fully recovered to their peak state. A mere dangerous place won't be a problem for me. But you must make sure that your people can successfully hold back Huang Zhirui!"
Shang Lu lowered his head and said, "Master, don't worry! I have arranged everything. Shang Zhi is watching the dancers! Huang Zhirui will definitely stay with the dancers tonight and will definitely not come back!"
Blood Shadow nodded, stood up and walked out. He rode his horse and disappeared into the darkness...
