Lin Yu admitted that his action of taking down Chen Yongde was a gamble.
But judging from the result, he gambled correctly.
At least, attacking this Chenjiabao village will not cause any chain reaction - these villagers are not important to the mastermind.
If they were important enough, the mastermind would not have let Chen Yongde face the high temperature at noon, almost dying of heatstroke, and still come to chat with them.
However...
Although knocking down Chen Yongde did not trigger any abnormalities, this does not mean that they can sit back and relax.
"Let's go, since this old man appeared here, it means that the mastermind has noticed our actions."
"And... he doesn't seem to want us to enter this room, which also reflects from the side that we may have come to the right place."
After speaking, Lin Yu left Chen Yongde where he was and walked to the door of the house.
The door of the house was bolted from the inside. Lin Yu pushed it from the outside, but it didn't open.
Lin Yu frowned slightly.
This is strange...
If no one has lived in this house for a long time, why is it bolted from the inside?
"It's a bolt, then heroine, use my saber to pick it open from the door seam."
Yue Zhenqiao seemed to have misunderstood the meaning of Lin Yu's frown, and said quickly, then handed over his saber.
Lin Yu shook his head.
"No need."
Then, he took a step back, and a spinning side kick slammed hard on the door.
"Bang!"
"Crack!"
The door bolt broke in response, and the door was kicked open directly by Lin Yu, revealing the scene inside the stone house.
Then, Lin Yu strode into it.
"Let's go."
He said calmly.
Yue Zhenqiao looked at this scene from behind, and smiled wryly as if he was used to it.
"That's right... this heroine can subdue the mountain demon leader with one move, just opening a door, why would she need my help."
Wu San and Liu Chengyang behind him were also shocked by Lin Yu's strength again, and hurried to catch up.
The four entered the house, and Lin Yu looked around at the furnishings in the house.
Stone bed, stone table, wooden vertical cabinet, the furnishings are simple and plain, it does look like no one has lived here for a long time.
But Lin Yu quickly found something wrong.
He walked to the bed and lifted the straw mat on the stone bed - although it was just a corner lifted casually, the straw mat began to bend along a certain fold line.
This is a trace left by being repeatedly folded many times from here.
And after Lin Yu lifted it, under the straw mat, the bed surface of the stone bed was revealed - this is not an integrated stone bed, but composed of several strip-shaped stones.
Lin Yu's fingers gently brushed over these strip-shaped stones, and quickly found several different pieces.
Fingers pressed on it, and a faint airflow came from the fine seams - this proved that there was a ventilated space below.
"You guys come over here."
Lin Yu greeted the three bodyguards, and the three came over without knowing why.
"Heroine, is there something strange about this bed?"
Wu San asked puzzledly.
"There should be a secret passage hidden under this stone strip, leading to a secret room," Lin Yu explained, "So, we have to get this thing open."
"Do you guys know anything about mechanisms and the like?"
Lin Yu asked.
Since it is a secret room, there may be some self-destruction and protection mechanisms, so naturally it cannot be as simple and rude as kicking the door before.
Therefore, Lin Yu naturally wanted to listen to the opinions of these natives.
After all, he doesn't know much about the mechanisms of the Prison Mountain Realm.
The three bodyguards all shook their heads.
But Yue Zhenqiao opened his mouth again after shaking his head: "Heroine, although I don't know about mechanisms, this kind of hidden mechanism secret room is after all for people to use, there will always be a hidden switch outside..."
Lin Yu heard Yue Zhenqiao and interrupted him: "Of course I know this... I asked you just because I don't know much about the mechanism schools here in Fire Prison, I still have some knowledge of these."
Lin Yu said, then shook Lao Zheng.
"Find me the switch."
Lao Zheng said helplessly: "Boss, finding dead objects is not my area of expertise..."
"It doesn't matter, find it as much as possible, I will let Hanna assist you."
Lin Yu said, and released Hanna, who had been away for a long time.
After conveying the instructions to Hanna, the little octopus disguised itself and drilled into the seams of the stone strips.
After Lao Zheng and Hanna started searching at the same time, Lin Yu also started searching around.
It's just that the skill has a specialty, Lin Yu's search is still a little less efficient than Lao Zheng and Hanna - not to mention that while searching, he has to show a look that he is very professional.
But fortunately, Hanna is reliable enough.
"Kua! I found it, Director!"
"Following the mechanical transmission structure in the seam, I found a lever in the interlayer behind the cabinet. As long as you pull the lever, the entrance to the secret room can be opened."
"Good job, Hanna, thank you for your hard work, you can rest now."
After Lin Yu praised Hanna, he took Hanna back again - after all, although the temperature in this stone house is not high compared to the outside, forty degrees Celsius can almost be called cool, but by Hanna's standards, it is still a bit hot and dry.
According to Hanna's report, Lin Yu walked to the cabinet without showing any signs.
Opening the cabinet door, taking down the partition and finding the interlayer, a lever appeared in front of Lin Yu.
"This is it."
Lin Yu said, and then pulled down the lever.
"Ka..."
A heavy sound came from the direction of the stone bed. Lin Yu turned his head and saw that the three stone blocks under the straw mat were retracted into the wall, revealing a downward passage.
"There really are mechanisms and passages!"
Liu Chengyang said in surprise.
"Of course there are, wouldn't the heroine be lying to us?"
Yue Zhenqiao said, walking forward: "Heroine, let Yue go down and explore the way first."
After speaking, Yue Zhenqiao rummaged through his luggage, found a hemp rope, a fire starter, a box of talismans, and then walked to Wu San and Liu Chengyang.
"Wu San, tie the rope tightly, we will follow the rules of cave exploration."
"Liu Chengyang, help me put a few talismans for avoiding obstacles and disasters on my body, and then give me your signal arrow."
Wu San and Liu Chengyang nodded, ready to fix the rope and put on the talismans.
But at this moment, Lin Yu had already stood by the bed.
"No need to be so troublesome, I am more skilled than all of you combined... the strongest should naturally go to explore the way."
"And... I don't need so much preparation."
Lin Yu said, took out the torch of fear, and suddenly lit it.
The pale flames illuminated every corner of the house.
"You don't even need to go down, just stand guard above, if you need you to come down... I will call you again!"
Lin Yu said, then holding the torch, he jumped straight down.
Yue Zhenqiao and the others couldn't stop him, and saw Lin Yu's figure disappear.
And after a moment, there was a "plop" sound from below.
"There is water, safe!"
Lin Yu's peaceful voice came from below.
But after a moment, his voice turned into a curse.
"No, it's not fucking safe at all - how is this fucking boiling water?!"
