Chapter 1805


    However, if one paid close attention, one would discover that the rooms were actually connected.


    All the stone walls in between the rooms were mobile, controlled by mechanisms in antique vases of different designs ced outside the walls.


    As long as the vases were moved slightly, countless arrows would be fired from all directions.


    X frowned in deep concentration while she continued to use her prating vision to observe those hidden mechanisms.


    She discovered that they had a w... the arrows were all positioned higher up, meaning that nothing would go wrong as long as people were on the ground when the arrows were fired.


    After solving the puzzle, X let out a long sigh of relief. She then continued to scan the area, finding nothing else apart from those she had discovered.


    After letting out another long sigh, X turned to address Darren. "It''s fine, I''ll go down and have a look. You can all stay up here and wait for me." She needed to go down and deactivate those booby traps before getting the others to go down.


    If too many people went down at the same time, injuries and fatalities could easily ur if they didn''t cooperate well.


    Among them, X was the only one with the special prating vision to see through everything. Therefore, she needed to go down first.


    Darren and the others were all stunned when they heard what she said unexpectedly.


    Before Darren could speak, her bodyguards surrounded her and began to object.


    "Ms. Quest, you can''t do this! What will we tell Mr. Batton if anything happens to you?"


    "There''s nothing we can tell him. Mr. Batton will surely kill us then. In fact, our families might get into trouble, too."


    "Ms. Quest, you know you are Mr. Batton''s beloved. We really would be in serious trouble if we didn''t protect you properly." They all sounded really nervous. Everyone did, except for Mary Sullivan.


    Mary no longer felt like leaving upon hearing X''s words.


    She wanted to stay and personally witness X being in danger or killed by hidden mechanisms in the underground pce. X would not survive if there were all sorts of hidden arrows and poison down there, as depicted in television shows.


    She might get poisoned and die from internal bleeding or by an arrow through her guts.


    It would be as terrible as Mary imagined.


    As such images shed in her mind, her mood instantly improved drastically.


    She didn''t believe X could always be so lucky.


    This time, X was doomed.


    X nced at her bodyguards. "Don''t worry, I know what I''m doing. I have studied underground pces like this, and I am certainly not an amateur."


    Frederick Shaw hurriedly walked over to X and grabbed her by the arm. "My young friend, this is not a joke Underground tombs are not ces one should enter alone.


    "You must know that there are all sorts of booby traps in ancient tombs. If you go down on your own, you might not be able toe back up if anything happens," Frederick warned. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Nevertheless, X merely shook her head. "Don''t worry. Nothing will happen, I promise," she said softly.
