Heroes of Troubled Times: Chronicles of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms

A few days later, spies came to report that the appearance of the monster was related to a group of tomb robbers.

Everyone sat in the conference room, facing neatly arranged tables, chairs and maps.

What we are facing now is the problem of rampant tomb robbers, who have been coveting the treasures of Taiping Village for a long time. Our mission is to protect these treasures and catch the tomb robbers. Zhu Wen said.

The tomb robbers' drawings are a big threat to us, and we must find out their identity and action plan as soon as possible. Zhang Taiyi said in a deep voice.

Huang Ying followed up: We can look for some clues, such as investigating recent abnormal actions and personnel activities, or closely monitoring those suspicious people.

Medical officer Bian Yong added: We need a detailed plan to protect Taiping Village while also catching the tomb robbers.

Everyone was thinking seriously, plans and clues gradually forming in their minds.

Zhu Wen put his hands on the table, stared at the map, and began to draw a plan of action.

We will work separately to find clues as quickly as possible and bring the tomb robbers to justice. Zhu Wen decided.

Everyone agrees with Zhu Wen's plan. They know that only unity and cooperation can solve the current crisis.

After the team sets off, everyone investigates according to the designated area.

Zhu Wen was immersed in reasoning about the tomb robbers, and he analyzed several potential identities from clues. He followed the first clue and entered an ancient tomb.

The tomb was eerie, and he was the only one exploring it in the dim light.

Bang! Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced the darkness, and Zhu Wen saw a blurry figure in front of him.

He immediately grasped the sword tightly and walked towards the figure vigilantly.

Who are you? Why enter here? Zhu Wen asked sharply.

The figure slowly turned around, and what appeared in Zhu Wen's eyes was an unrecognizable stranger.

You are a very stubborn guy. said the stranger indifferently.

Zhu Wen saw his face clearly, and he turned out to be a former member of Taiping Village.

Why did you betray Taiping Village? Zhu Wen asked.

Because I crave power at any cost. said the stranger, with a mad gleam in his eyes.

Zhu Wen immediately understood his intention. He was betraying Taiping Village for the tomb robber's treasure.

If you are not going to give up, then go for it! Zhu Wen said calmly.

The stranger suddenly rose into the air, turned into a black shadow, and attacked Zhu Wen.

The two of them started a fierce battle in the stone room, with swords and figures intertwining, making a dull collision sound.

Bang! Zhu Wen instantly approached the stranger and slashed his body with his sword.

The stranger waved the weapon in his hand to resist, and sparks flew everywhere.

Continuously retreating, attacking, and dodging, the two people's fight in the stone room was like rough waves, one after another.

You still can't defeat me! The stranger roared and struck Zhu Wen back with a powerful blow.

Zhu Wen rolled to avoid the attack, panting and analyzing the stranger's fighting style and weaknesses.

Suddenly, he saw a flaw, a tiny flaw, and he quickly seized the opportunity.

Click! Zhu Wen launched a fatal blow, accurately cutting off the stranger's weapon.

Finally, at this last moment, I can tell you that I am not a real tomb robber. The stranger whispered, showing a bitter smile.

What the hell is going on with you? Why did you betray Taiping Village? Zhu Wen asked doubtfully.

The stranger smiled bitterly and explained: I was coerced by tomb robbers. They threatened to kill my family. Only by betraying you can they be safe.

Zhu Wen's heart was filled with complicated emotions. He understood that this stranger was helpless.

He put the knife back, stretched out his hand and said to the stranger: In this case, I can forgive you. But you must help us find clues about the tomb robbers and protect the interests of Taiping Village.

The stranger took Zhu Wen's hand in surprise, with a trace of gratitude and determination on his face.

Zhu Wen and strangers moved forward side by side, continuing to search for the tomb robbers.

Their footsteps became more and more brisk, and their bodies moved through the dense forest as nimbly as eagles.

Taipingzhai's spy information showed that the tomb robbers were hiding in an ancient cave, and a trap was set at the entrance of the cave.

Be careful, there's a trap! Zhu Wen shouted loudly.

They carefully skirted the trap and approached the cave. The stranger suddenly stopped.

What's wrong? Zhu Wen asked.

The stranger pointed at the entrance of the cave and said softly: There is an invisible magic circle around the entrance of the cave. We must find the correct entrance to enter.

Everyone searched the surroundings, looking for the entrance.

Whoosh! Huang Biao suddenly saw a flash of light, pointed at a stone and said: I found it, this is it!

Everyone immediately gathered around and found that the stone was exactly the same as the surrounding environment, and seemed to be covered by a layer of psychedelic power.

Zhu Wen clenched the hilt of the sword and looked at the stone intently, trying to figure out the mystery within it.

Click! Suddenly, they heard a crisp sound and the stone cracked.

A passage appeared in front of everyone, evoking an aura of mystery and danger.

Get ready, let's go in! Zhang Taiyi decided resolutely.

Everyone gathered at the entrance of the passage, a chill filling their hearts.

Buzz buzz... As their footsteps entered, there was a faint buzz in the passage.

What kind of magic trap is this? Huang Ying asked doubtfully.

I feel like there is a force that prevents us from using martial arts. Zhu Dali said tentatively.

Everyone's thoughts were focused on dealing with this magical trap.

Let's stay together, stay alert, and don't be separated. the stranger reminded.

They looked at each other, and their tacit glances conveyed unity and strength.

Suddenly, a gorgeous door panel appeared at the end of the passage.

The door panel is engraved with patterns, giving it a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.

This is a test, we must solve the problem behind the door. Zhu Wen held the hilt of the sword tightly, preparing to deal with possible dangers.

They began to carefully observe the patterns on the door panel, trying to find any clues.

These patterns seem to be a kind of awakening secret, and maybe we need to touch them in a certain way. Zhang Taiyi speculated.

Everyone brainstormed and tried to analyze the possible meaning of each decoration.

Ah, I found it! These patterns represent different elements of the Five Elements, and we need to touch them in the order of the Five Elements. Medical officer Bian Yong said excitedly.

Everyone immediately followed the instructions of the medical officer Bian Yong and touched the ornaments in order.

Click! The door panel made a crisp sound and slowly opened.

As they walked through the door, their eyes suddenly opened up, and they entered the treasure trove of tomb robbers.

The treasure house is dimly lit and filled with jewelry, antiques and gold.

The wealth is really higher than the other. Zhu Wen sighed.

Suddenly, a voice echoed in the treasure house: Congratulations on finding the treasure, but this is not the end, but the beginning.
