Acai's Sky

Chapter 291 The second floor of the underground palace is opened...

When Ah Cai followed closely behind him and returned to the main hall, after some busy and intense statistical work, the general situation of the entire underground floor had gradually become clear.

At this moment, Lord Lin was keenly aware of his daughter tiptoeing in silently.

His heart tightened, and he quickly and cautiously moved to her side.

"You and Ah Cai should just stay back there! Don't try to rush forward and join in the fun. The Emperor's presence is not a place you can just stay. If you're not careful, you'll be forced to kneel down and kowtow to apologize..."

Lord Lin lowered his voice, leaned close to his precious daughter's ear, and chattered incessantly.

Ah Cai blinked her big watery eyes and nodded frequently like a cute chick pecking at rice, indicating that she would definitely follow her father's teachings.

After Lord Lin finished giving numerous instructions, he hurried back to the emperor's side and bowed respectfully. His fearful look really made people feel a little pitiful!

At the same time, the Tong family members who were watching coldly from the side began to whisper to each other:

"Tong Jiawu: What's going on with them? Could it be that they still haven't found the mechanism leading to the second floor?"

"Tong Ada: According to common sense, the mechanism should be hidden in this hall! With their abilities, how could they have been clueless for so long?"

"Tong Acai: From what I can see, within this vast palace, apart from the lofty dragon throne, it seems that only this seemingly ordinary ground beneath our feet might hold a hidden secret..."

"Tong Asan: Could it be that the real mechanism is that majestic dragon throne?"

"Tong Shishan: Are you kidding me?! This passage is clearly extending downwards. Its direction is completely opposite to the Dragon Throne!"

Acai is very bored.

Looking at the entrance of the magnificent hall, there are several pieces of ground that look like blue bricks, shining brightly under the bright light, and clearly reflecting mysterious and rare dark patterns.

I saw her taking her small and delicate feet, carefully stepping onto one of the blue bricks, and rubbing the dark patterns on the tile with her feet.

Then, she gently placed her other foot on another blue brick next to it, and continued in this way, step by step, slowly stepping from the left side of the hall entrance to the right side, and then turning back and stepping from the right side to the left side again.

Acai repeats this action tirelessly, as if immersed in a unique game.

Every time she stepped on those dark patterns, it was like she would occasionally jump excitedly between the squares in her childhood...

However, at this moment, without any warning, the entire hall began to shake violently!

Accompanied by a dull roar, the solid ground suddenly cracked, and a deep and dark passage leading to the second underground floor suddenly appeared before everyone!

The people who were originally standing in the center of the hall suddenly panicked and hurriedly moved away!

Lord Lin was even more anxious. He quickly reached out and grabbed Emperor Ning and Wang Dapang tightly, and rushed to the left side of the palace in two steps. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

"Tong Jiawu: How on earth did they find this mechanism? There was no prior notice at all. The ground cracked and I almost fell through..."

"Tong Er: How did you open it? Who opened it?"

『Tong Ada: I don’t know! 』

"00541: What did the host just do? Did you open the mechanism?!"

"Tong Acai: How could it be me? I was just walking back and forth at the door and didn't notice the trap..."

……

Emperor Ning didn't care who triggered the mysterious mechanism. He just raised his hand slightly and signaled to the commander of the imperial guards beside him, asking him to immediately arrange people to go down and find out what was going on.

At this time, the respected elder of the Zhai family led a young man and followed the crowd closely, as if trying to find out whether there were other hidden mechanisms.

The elder of the Zhai family was also confused and had no idea what to do with this mechanism that was suddenly opened.

However, when everyone was still puzzled, the eldest elder of the Zhai family accidentally discovered the key mechanism leading to the depths of the passage, and successfully closed it with the experience and wisdom he had accumulated over the years.

At this moment, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought: "Why is the mechanism on the second underground floor so similar to the ancient secret map of the mechanism that our family has preserved? Could it be that this precious secret map only records information about the structure of the second underground floor?"

Thinking of this, the eldest elder of the Zhai family frowned even more tightly, and a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.

Everyone walked into the second underground floor.

The walls of the entire first floor are inlaid with luminous fluorite, also known as night pearls, at regular intervals.

"Tong Jiawu: Wow, what a hand! Where did you get so many night-shining pearls? There are so many in the passages! I thought the night-shining pearls were only in the treasure area!"

"Tong Er: We haven't been here since we came in. We just went straight to the treasure area to look for treasures!"

"Tong Acai: This is really not man-made?"

"Tong Ada: It seems that this plane has a lot of good things!"

"00541: Host, your [Cornucopia] has already produced a thousand gift boxes. Aren't you going to open them?"

"Tong Acai: I'm still waiting to go to the immortal realm! What good things can this ordinary world bring?"

"00541: I thought the host forgot to open it! I haven't heard that opening a gift box has anything to do with the plane?"

『Tong Acai: ……』

"Tong Acai: If I put a ghost ball into that cornucopia, will it produce more ghost balls?"

"00541: Yes! Anything can be copied endlessly. The length of time it takes to copy is determined by the value of the item..."

"Tong Shiqi: Can banknote duplication be used?"

"00541: What are you thinking? The numbers on the copied banknotes are all the same. Do you dare to use them?"

"Tong Acai: Put this exquisite ball of mine into the cornucopia to replicate it! And put all the elixirs I've refined into it..."

"00541: You must have forgotten you have a treasure bowl, otherwise this medicine would have been copied long ago..."

Ah Cai rolled her eyes secretly. Could she say that she didn't remember it at all?

"Tong Er: Tsk, now you know our master's character! We need to find someone to organize all these props, otherwise we won't even remember what they are!"

『00541: This is the result of having a large fortune...』

"00541: No, it's just that the host is too damn lazy! Others spend all day counting their props, but you just throw them aside and let them gather dust..."
