Chapter 1468: Sense of Crisis

Chapter 1468: Chapter 1468: Sense of Crisis

Xv Jiazhi is considered relatively senior in the circles of ancient martial families, being in his thirties. Except for the elders, who wouldn’t call him Mr. Xv or Mr. Xv?

Old Xv?

It seems not many people dare to call him that. Chen Moxiang in front of him is not even as old as him. Even so, Xv Jiazhi showed no anger, instead raising his eyebrow at Lin Tian with a mischievous smile and said, "Master, you’ve sure got the ladies."

"Nothing good ever comes out of a dog’s mouth," Chen Moxiang retorted angrily.

Lin Tian also rolled his eyes. This kid was trying to matchmake randomly, and he said gruffly, "Stop teasing me. Hurry up and bandage her. If we delay further, she’ll die."

"Alright." Xv Jiazhi agreed and put away his playful attitude.

Chen Moxiang had Lin Tian sit on the ground and opened the backpack on her shoulder, taking out a small white medical kit. The contents of the kit were quite complete; not only was it sufficient for emergency wounds, but it could probably handle a minor surgery.

Taking out disinfectant from the small medical kit, Chen Moxiang was just about to apply medicine to Lin Tian when she saw his bald appearance and burst into laughter.

Lin Tian gritted his teeth viciously and rolled his eyes angrily, "What’s so funny?"

Seeing his proud and annoyed look, Chen Moxiang laughed even harder, clutching her belly and laughing uproariously. Then she rummaged through her bag for a while and found a small mirror, handed it to Lin Tian saying, "See for yourself."

Lin Tian was quite concerned about his appearance. Just now, seeing Chen Moxiang laughing so hard, his old face even blushed a bit with embarrassment. Now that he had a mirror, he naturally didn’t hold back.

In the mirror, Lin Tian’s facial features were still as exquisite, his eyes and brows full of heroic spirit. But on his head, there was a bald patch, making him look like a middle-aged man who suddenly aged twenty years, looking very peculiar.

At this moment, Chen Moxiang took out her phone and snapped a few pictures, the flash almost blinding Lin Tian. Chen Moxiang, however, was quite pleased with herself, her rosy lips slightly curved in a smile, her face full of pride.

"It’s a pity not to capture such a historical moment. So I couldn’t help but take a few shots. I must say, my photography skills aren’t bad. Do you want to see them?"

As she spoke, Chen Moxiang waved her phone in front of Lin Tian, a smug look still plastered on her young face.

Such a playful and cute moment was rare for Chen Moxiang. To not let her be too triumphant, Lin Tian kept a stern face and reached out saying, "Let me see."

Chen Moxiang snorted lightly, putting the phone away again. Gleefully saying, "You’ll delete them if I give them to you. Wishful thinking."

Aside from rolling his eyes, Lin Tian didn’t know how to respond to her.

After some playful banter, Chen Moxiang also put away her joking mood and carefully bandaged the wound on Lin Tian’s head. Lin Tian even saw the hemostatic ointment from Qiansimei, a product he traded with the military, appearing in Chen Moxiang’s hands wasn’t unexpected at all.

A while later, Lin Tian’s head was wrapped in thick bandages, covering all his hair. Though it looked a bit unsightly, compared to his image in Waihai City, it was much better! Lin Tian secretly vowed in his heart that once he left the underground palace, his first task would be to shave his head!

On the other side, Wang Sijing’s arm wound was also treated. Due to excessive blood loss, her body looked soft and limp, like a sickly person. Yet she still tightly held onto that stone statue’s eye as if afraid Lin Tian might snatch it away.

"Take us to find the entrance," Lin Tian said.

Actually, Lin Tian had asked Xv Jiazhi about the entrance to the fourth floor before, but the guy only shook his head helplessly saying, "This array has affected the structure of this level of the underground palace, the entrance must have changed positions. To find the entrance, we have to rely on Wang Sijing."

It was because of his words that there was previously that episode of coercion and enticement.

Wang Sijing was indifferent to Lin Tian’s words, she didn’t even want to pay attention to the person, feeling that the air he breathed was polluted.

Seeing Wang Sijing walk forward alone, Lin Tian and the group followed closely behind.

They kept walking until they reached a corner of the array, where there was a different stone door than before. There were no patterns on the door, just a row of elegant small characters, which upon closer inspection turned out to be characters in a very old seal script, anyway, Lin Tian didn’t recognize any of the words on it.

On the stone door, there were also two beast head door rings, with their whiskers spread apart, sharp fangs and fierce eyes, the design was quite imposing. It’s worth mentioning that from the color, it could be seen that this beast head door ring was made of bronze.

"Is this the entrance?"

"Yes. However, this door is secured by eight pure steel door bolts, so even if we found it, it’s very hard to enter," Wang Sijing said.

At this point, Xv Jiazhi smiled and said, "Haha, I know, the trick to this door is in the beast head door ring. Rotate it counter-clockwise one circle and then click three times, the door will naturally open."

Upon hearing this, Wang Sijing’s expression turned peculiar. She widened her eyes, looking at Xv Jiazhi incredulously and asked, "How do you know that?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

Xv Jiazhi laughed, "If we didn’t have some understanding of the Wang Family’s underground palace, how could we have come this far?"

Wang Sijing’s gaze towards Xv Jiazhi became sharper, like two knives.

"Since you all know, why did you need me to open it?" Wang Sijing asked.

"When the array just activated, this door also changed positions, originally it was directly opposite the passage, but now it’s in this gloomy corner. If not for you, who else could we rely on? Plus, I don’t know if that trick still works now."

"Let’s try it," Lin Tian said.

Wang Sijing snorted coldly, very reluctantly holding the beast head’s door ring, and rotating it counter-clockwise. Meanwhile, the mechanism inside the ring made a ’clack-clack-clack’ sound as components collided, it sounded crisp, but made Lin Tian break out in a cold sweat. The sense of crisis surged again!

"Stop turning!" Lin Tian shouted loudly, while also pushing Wang Sijing aside.

As the result of Lin Tian’s powerful push, Wang Sijing almost stumbled and fell. This instantly made her very unhappy, she glared angrily and cursed, "What are you doing?! Have you gone mad?"

Wang Sijing felt extremely wronged, she had clearly been coerced to help these people, who knew Lin Tian, this lunatic, suddenly acted so crazy. Her pent-up resentment exploded instantly.

Lin Tian didn’t bother with Wang Sijing. He stood right in front of the beast head door ring, using his perspective vision to meet eyes with the beast head.
