Peng Ke's face was indifferent: "Whatever the king wants is what will happen... What can we, his subjects, say about it?"

  Li Dang heard this and became somewhat agitated: "What are you trying to deceive us with? What lavish burial..."

  "Hey!" Peng Ke immediately interrupted Li Dang, not letting him continue: "It's going to rain today, the mother is getting married, and you and I are worried, but it's just unnecessary anxiety!"

  Peng Ke finished speaking and walked out of the hall. Li Dang turned his head to look at Yao Yanzhang: "Is he giving up on Qi Wang?"

  "It's been a long time since he went missing, and it's unknown whether he has given up or not." As soon as Yao Yanzhang finished speaking, Xu Dexun's voice floated over: "It's good that you've given up, recognizing the situation is what makes one outstanding!"

  Xu De Xun finished speaking and left. Li Dang furrowed his brow, looking at Yao Yan Zhang with unease: "Left Prime Minister..."

  Yao Yanzhang worriedly said: "This is a big net, it's not just catching Qi Wang alone!"

  ……

  Tang Xiao led everyone through a winding mountain path before arriving at the first checkpoint.

  This is a not-too-large secret room hidden in a mountain cave.

  In the center of this chamber is a platform, on which are ten stone discs, and about one zhang away from the discs is a wall with many square pillars protruding out of it in varying lengths.

  Everyone was curious and walked in, but Tang Xiao reached out to stop them: "I've been through this pass before, I know how to get through."

  "Is it? Tell me quickly!" Tan Liu's excitement remained high and showed no signs of abating.

  "The wall has ten pillars, we can choose one of them to press down, and then the names of the ten required materials will appear on the side wall. At the same time, the water clock next to it will start dripping."

  Tang Xiao pointed with one finger, and only then did Hua Rou and others discover that in the corner there was also an inconspicuous small water scoop.

  "Before the water scoop sinks, as long as we find ten kinds of materials to place on these stone plates, this level can be passed and the token can be obtained. Otherwise, if you pick incorrectly or the water scoop sinks, it will be considered a failure."

  "Can failure come again?"

  "After failure, the pillar will change again, and the required materials will also change." Tang Ji answered Tang Liu's question on behalf of Tang Xiao.

  "This pass requires not only luck, but also close cooperation among everyone to find one or two necessary items." Tang Xiao said: "Don't delay, let's start!"

  Tang Xiao said to Rong Hua Rou: "You go choose one."

  Tang Liu excitedly rushed towards the standing pillar wall: "I'm coming! I'm coming! Hmm... you, you're the shortest!"

  Tang Liu pressed down the shortest stone pillar, and immediately the mechanical sound rang out. The smooth mountain rocks in front of the stone plate began to rotate, and then blocks of mountain rocks with material names appeared one after another.

  "Dark Fish Grass, Ink Whisker Root?"

  "Saltpeter, tree silk?"

  "What I want is a cow hair needle and a willow leaf dart." Yuer shouted loudly.

  "Amethyst, cinnabar, saltpeter, and black gunpowder." Mu Junwu had just finished reading out the remaining material names when the water clock beside him began to drip water into an empty small porcelain ladle.

  "I have a cow hair needle." Yuer hurriedly shouted while going to rummage through her bundle.

  Tang Xiao immediately took out a willow-leaf dart from his waist: "I have this."

  "I'm going to find Tree Silk and Saltpeter." Tang Ji said as he turned around and walked out.

  "Gunpowder is in the crackers I brought, can be taken out." Tang Liu immediately put down his bundle and started rummaging: "I also know how to make a gun barrel, I have all the materials!"

  "Then you stay here and work, the rest of us will go find." Tang Xiao said as he looked at Hua Rou, who immediately responded: "I'll go with Yu'er to find the herbal medicine!"

  "I'll take care of Zi Jin Shi." Mu Junwu said as he walked out. Tang Xiao nodded and said, "Then I'll go find Hong Nao."

  After everyone finished their division of labor, they immediately went out to search, while Tang Liu sat down on the ground and began to dismantle the materials.

  At this time, a drop of water was dripping into that bucket with a pattering sound.

  In the forest, finding materials is easy and also difficult.

  Everyone looked around and went their separate ways to search for materials they liked. They soon dispersed in all directions.

  Mo Jun took charge of finding the zi jin shi, which was only found near cliffs, so he rushed to the nearest exposed rock face and searched through a pile of rocks.

  After searching for a moment, he had just picked up a suspected mountain stone to confirm, and there was a faint humming sound in his ear.

  He immediately dodged and threw a stone in the direction of the sound.

  Wherever the stone hits, it is empty.

  Longing for you, I turned back once more and saw three silver needles stuck in a piece of wood by your side.

  I immediately chased in the direction of the needle's trajectory with lightness skill, but I didn't catch up to the person who launched the sneak attack, and I couldn't even see a shadow.

  No wonder it's been quiet lately, looks like you're planning to make a move here!

  Admiring you, I put on a gloomy face, and had no choice but to give up the pursuit, after all, there are still levels waiting to be broken.

  In the locked room, Tang Liu poured two packets of black gunpowder into a paper bag, tucked it into his body after packing it up, and just took out the materials to make a shooting tube. Tang Feiyan walked in with her teammates.

  "Tang Liu Liang?" Tang Fei Yan was somewhat surprised, seemingly hadn't expected there would be someone here.

  "Hey, you guys are here! Too late, we've already opened the gate and everyone's gone to find materials. You should go to a different gate instead!"

  Tang Feiyan glanced at the name exposed on the wall and sneered: "Too late? I don't think so."

  As her voice fell, her teammates came forward one after another to check what materials were needed.

  "Don't look anymore! You can't help even if you see it. I'll tell you, but it's too late..."

  But before he could finish speaking, something strange happened!

  Tang Feiyan's teammates surprisingly took out things from their own burdens and put them into the stone plate one after another.

  Amethyst, Tree of Life, Willow Leaf Dart...

  Tang Liu's eyes widened in shock: "You, you have materials in your bags? And how do you have everything?! Ha! You're cheating!"

  Tang Liu'er rushed forward excitedly to stop them, but he was alone, while the other side had six people. He was immediately pulled away.

  At this time, Tang Zifeng put the gunpowder into the stone plate.

  "This is outrageous! We're the ones who opened this mechanism!" Tang Liu shouted in anger, while Tang Zifeng sneered at him and said, "But it was us who put the thing inside!"

  He said, and put the shooter into the last stone plate, ten stone plates sank instantly, a token rose from a recess on one side.

  Tang Liu immediately rushed forward to grab it, but Tang Zi Feng and Tang Yun joined forces to hold him down.

  Tang Feiyan took the token and looked at Tang Liu'er with a triumphant smile: "Tell Tang Xiao, he can't get all ten tokens! Let's go!"

  Tang Feiyan took her people and left. Tang Liu stood on the spot, panting, like a child who had been robbed of his treasure.

  At this moment, a column of wolf smoke rose from above the checkpoint.

  Before long, everyone rushed back with their own materials...
