Starting from iron smelting

Chapter 109 Lead the way

The man in green was moved by Lu Xiuyuan's proposal. He narrowed his eyes, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. He hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "How do I know you are not lying to me?" There was a hint of vigilance and suspicion in his voice.

Lu Xiuyuan smiled slightly, and seemed confident. He replied: "Master Qingyi, you are so smart that you should be able to see that I am not talking nonsense. Think about it, why are so many people chasing me? It's because they saw the secret I know. There are countless treasures hidden in this secret realm, and I am the one who can guide you to find them. If you kill me now, you will never be able to enter the secret realm in your life, let alone find the treasures."

Lu Xiuyuan's words not only showed his intelligence, but also cleverly took advantage of the green-clothed man's desire for treasure. He knew that the green-clothed man would not easily believe him, so he deliberately made his words half-true and half-false, leaving the green-clothed man to figure it out for himself.

The man in green heard Lu Xiuyuan's words, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He was indeed salivating over the treasures in the secret realm, but he didn't want to easily trust a stranger. His eyes rolled around, as if he was thinking of a countermeasure.

After a moment, the man in green said, "Okay, I'll believe you this time. But if you two dare to play tricks, I will never let you go." His voice revealed an unquestionable majesty that made people dare not disobey in the slightest.

Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue couldn't help but feel relieved after hearing what the man in green said. They knew that as long as the man in green was willing to follow them to the secret realm, they would have a chance to escape from this dangerous situation. So the three of them set out on the journey to the secret realm together.

The man in green escorted Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue and slowly headed towards the entrance of the secret realm. The three of them were silent along the way, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. The man in green's eyes were as cold as ice, and the long sword in his hand flashed with cold light, ready to attack Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue at any time. Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue looked solemn, secretly thinking about how to deal with the next situation.

As they gradually approached the entrance to the secret realm, the surrounding scenery began to become strange. A thick fog filled the air, as if it was about to swallow them up. The man in green was observing the surroundings vigilantly, fearing that something dangerous might happen. Lu Xiuyuan took a deep breath and silently prayed in his heart that he could enter the secret realm smoothly.

Finally, they arrived at the entrance to the secret realm. They saw a huge stone gate standing in front of them. The gate was carved with complex patterns, exuding a mysterious atmosphere. Lu Xiuyuan walked forward and gently touched the patterns on the stone gate, feeling the power in it.

"This is the entrance to the secret realm." Lu Xiuyuan turned around and said to the man in green, "I entered from here last time."

The man in green nodded, signaling Lu Xiuyuan to go first. Lu Xiuyuan did not dare to neglect it, and immediately found the mechanism to open the stone door according to his memory from last time. A roar sounded, and the stone door slowly opened, revealing a deep passage.

Lu Xiuyuan walked in first, followed by Wen Lingyue. The man in green followed closely behind, observing the surroundings vigilantly. The three of them walked forward, passing through a series of winding passages, and arrived at the main hall of the secret realm.

In the center of the hall stood a huge stone tablet, which was covered with ancient runes. Lu Xiuyuan walked to the stone tablet and carefully observed the runes on it, trying to find clues to the secret realm.

"I used these runes to find the passage through the secret realm last time." Lu Xiuyuan explained to the man in green, "As long as we follow the guidance of these runes, we can find the exit."

The man in green heard this and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He did not understand the meaning of these runes and could only rely on Lu Xiuyuan's guidance. However, he had no other choice but to trust Lu Xiuyuan.

So, Lu Xiuyuan began to follow the guidance of the runes, leading the man in green and Wen Lingyue through the hall. They passed through traps and avoided deadly dangers. Although the man in green was powerful, he had to be cautious in front of these traps.

Finally, they came to a passage. This passage was very similar to the one Lu Xiuyuan passed through last time, and it seemed to be the only way to the depths of the secret realm.

"This is it." Lu Xiuyuan pointed at the passage and said, "I got out from here last time."

The man in green nodded and signaled them to continue. The three of them walked into the passage carefully and moved forward. The passage was pitch black, with only the torches in their hands lighting the way ahead. It was quiet all around, as if some danger was secretly watching them.

Lu Xiuyuan led the man in green and Wen Lingyue into the secret realm. The three of them walked through the winding and deep passage. On the stone walls on both sides of the passage, there were some ancient runes carved, exuding a mysterious atmosphere. As Lu Xiuyuan walked, he carefully observed these runes, as if he was looking for something.

When they were halfway through the passage, Lu Xiuyuan suddenly stopped and stopped moving forward. Seeing this, the man in green frowned and urged, "Why don't you move on? Hurry up."

Lu Xiuyuan turned around and faced the man in green, with a bitter smile on his face. He said, "Master Green, it's not that I don't want to go, but there are many dangers ahead. I am incompetent and I am afraid I will die ahead."

Hearing this, the man in green sneered and said, "So you were trying to play some tricks. You want me to explore the way ahead? Humph, watch me." As he said that, he strode forward, as if he wanted to go straight through the dangerous area ahead.

However, just as he was about to step into the open space in front of him, he suddenly stepped on a mechanism. The ground shook violently, and then a dense rain of arrows came. These arrows came straight towards the man in green with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

Seeing this, the man in green was not panicked at all. He quickly circulated the spiritual power in his body to form a solid barrier to block the arrows one by one. The arrows hit the spiritual power barrier, making a crisp sound, and then fell to the ground one after another.

The man in green sneered and said, "You think you can hurt me with such a trivial trick?" As he said that, he continued to walk forward, as if he didn't take those traps seriously at all.

However, Lu Xiuyuan did not relax his vigilance because of the green-clothed man's easy response. He knew the danger of this secret place, and every trap could be fatal. He followed the green-clothed man closely, ready to deal with any possible danger.

Sure enough, not long after, they encountered another trap. This time it was a huge stone door that suddenly fell from the sky, trying to trap the three of them. The man in green reacted quickly and dodged the stone door, but Wen Lingyue failed to avoid it in time and was hit by the stone door on the shoulder. Although he was not injured, he was also scared and broke into a cold sweat.

The man in green looked at Wen Lingyue's frightened expression and couldn't help but feel a little scared. He realized that this secret realm was indeed full of dangers and it was not so easy to pass through. He turned around and looked at Lu Xiuyuan, with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes.

Seeing this, Lu Xiuyuan was secretly delighted. He knew that he had successfully made the man in green realize the danger of this secret realm. In this way, he could better utilize the power of the man in green to gain more chances of survival for himself and Wen Lingyue.
