Chapter 343 An unexpected incident, Momo's hand was entangled in the black mist
The two men cautiously came to the door of the reception room of Yunmengju. After looking at each other, one of them squatted down and used tools to pry open the door lock, while the other stood by and kept watch.
With a slight "click" sound, the door lock was successfully opened. The two smiled at each other, then gently pushed the door open and tiptoed in.
After the two entered the house, they were about to breathe a sigh of relief when they suddenly heard a crisp "click" sound, and then they felt something empty under their feet.
Oh no! Someone stepped on the mechanism! Before they could react, countless arrows shot down from above their heads...
"Be careful!" Feng Wuhen's heart tightened, and without even thinking, he held Jiang Yimo tightly in his arms, then flashed and quickly hid in the corner of the room.
After the two were finally safe, Jiang Yimo breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression was still very solemn.
She hurriedly and carefully examined Feng Wuhen's body. After confirming that he had no injuries, she was relieved and said softly, "There is a trap here, and Cui Wanwan didn't tell us a word about it."
Feng Wuhen didn't find it strange, "I guess even she doesn't know!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yimo frowned slightly, her expression became serious, and she said seriously: "Then we have to be extra careful next time!"
"Yeah!" Feng Wuhen responded softly.
Next, before taking each small step, they would carefully use the objects at hand to test the floor under their feet to make sure there was no potential danger before they dared to move slowly.
This short distance of one or two meters seemed like a long journey to them, and every step was full of tension and caution.
Time seemed to freeze, and every second was infinitely extended.
However, despite such difficulties, the two finally successfully arrived at the place where Cui Wanwan mentioned the mechanism was.
What is surprising is that the mechanism of this secret room is so obviously set on the main beam pillar in the center of the house, and it is deliberately disguised as an ordinary lampstand.
Perhaps King You was too confident in his own design, thinking that with his intelligence and talent, no one would be able to detect the huge secret hidden in it.
However, what he never expected was that when he personally opened this mysterious mechanism, the whole process was accidentally seen by a person named Cui Wanwan.
Not only that, Cui Wanwan also told this secret to two other people - Feng Wuhen and Jiang Yimo.
Thus, the two of them also learned this important information about the agency.
Then, Feng Wuhen and Jiang Yimo came to the mysterious mechanism together...
Jiang Yimo stretched out her hand, grasped the lampstand and turned it hard. With a creaking sound, the floor beside their feet slowly opened up, revealing a ladder leading to a secret room. It was pitch black inside, like the bloody mouth of a giant beast waiting to devour its prey.
Jiang Yimo took out a flashlight from the space, and the two of them slowly climbed down the ladder with the flashlights.
Below the stairs is a long passage, winding and twisting, with no end in sight.
The walls on both sides of the passage were very rough, obviously not carefully polished. There were gravel roads underfoot, and it was a bit bumpy to walk on.
The two walked along the passage for more than ten minutes and finally saw a very spacious underground palace. At the innermost part of the underground palace was a small pool. Before they walked in, they heard the sound of rushing water.
The sound echoed in the silent underground palace, making people feel timid.
As they walked carefully into the pool with flashlights in hand, a biting chill hit them in the face.
With the help of the flashlight, you can see that there seems to be something flashing a faint light in the middle of the black pool.
After looking at each other, the two men moved forward cautiously, wanting to get closer to see what was going on.
As they got closer, they finally saw the scene in the center of the pool clearly - a lotus flower that was as black as ink and shining with mysterious light was floating on the water.
The petals of this lotus are extremely black, as if they can absorb all the light, which is amazing.
What’s even more peculiar is that the inside of the lotus pistil is actually as white as snow, forming a sharp contrast with the black petals.
In the darkness, this lotus with white pistil and black petals emits a faint and charming white light, like the brightest star in the night sky.
However, surrounding this mysterious black lotus is a thick black fog.
The black mist seemed to have life, constantly swirling around the black lotus, as if protecting it. Witnessing this wonder, the two were filled with thoughts.
"Your Highness, this is probably the black lotus that Cui Wanwan mentioned." Jiang Yimo asked.
Feng Wuhen nodded and answered firmly: "It should be correct!"
Then, Jiang Yimo began to think about whether she could put this mysterious black lotus into the space like she did with the other black lotuses.
However, this black lotus was too strange and was surrounded by a black mist, so they did not dare to act rashly for fear of causing unpredictable consequences.
"Your Highness, I want to try to store this black lotus into the space, but I'm not sure if it is feasible?" Jiang Yimo asked softly.
Hearing this, Feng Wuhen didn't know if it would work, so he simply replied, "Just give it a try."
Jiang Yimo nodded in agreement.
Fortunately, the pool was not big, and Jiang Yimo could touch the black lotus with just her hand.
However, just as she was about to touch the black lotus, the black mist quickly wrapped around her hand and a burning sensation came over her.
"Hiss..." Jiang Yimo gasped. She felt as if her hand was pierced by millions of steel needles at the same time. The pain was unbearable.
However, she didn't dare make too much noise for fear of attracting other people's attention. She could only endure the pain silently, tears rolling down her face uncontrollably.
"Momo, what happened to your hand? How did the black mist get around your hand?" Feng Wuhen asked anxiously.
Jiang Yimo bit her lip tightly and shook her head, "I don't know either. My hand hasn't even touched the black lotus yet, but the black mist has already wrapped around my hand, and it's getting tighter and tighter. It hurts so much..."
Feng Wuhen looked at Jiang Yimo's pale face and the beads of sweat oozing from her forehead, and felt a panic in his heart.
He had never encountered such a situation before, and for a moment he was at a loss what to do.
"How could this happen? What should I do?" Feng Wuhen murmured to himself.
At this time, Jiang Yimo endured the severe pain and said, "Prince, let's go out first and think of a solution when we return to the Evil Prince's Mansion."
