Chapter 121: Exploring the Dangerous Land

Dai Shiya stood up suddenly, and the air in the room seemed to freeze, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Wei Qing looked at her, "I'm going there." Dai Shiya's voice was low and firm, with a subtle tremor.

"There?" Wei Qing's heart sank suddenly, she knew where Dai Shiya was referring to - the secret base of the ancient family, a place hidden in the shadow of the city, full of unknown dangers.

"Shiya, it's too dangerous!" Wei Qing tried to dissuade her, "Let's think of other ways, okay?"

Dai Shiya shook her head, her eyes revealing determination.

"I don't have time anymore, I have to figure it all out as soon as possible." She walked to the window and looked at the brightly lit city in the distance, "If my guess is true, then..." She didn't continue, but Wei Qing understood what she meant.

The night enveloped everything, and the car Dai Shiya was riding in drove slowly along the winding mountain road, approaching the mysterious base.

Outside the car window, the shadows of the trees were dancing, like ghosts, and the occasional cry of a few night owls added a bit of gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.

Dai Shiya's heart was beating fast, but she tried to stay calm.

She knew that this trip was extremely dangerous, and if she was not careful, she would be doomed.

The car finally stopped in front of a hidden valley. Dai Shiya took a deep breath, opened the door and walked out.

The valley was dark, with only a few dim lights flickering in the distance, as if it was the entrance to hell.

Dai Shiya walked forward carefully, walking on the rugged mountain road, and every step was extremely difficult.

Suddenly, she felt something under her feet, and then there was a violent vibration, and the ground began to collapse...

"Damn it!" Dai Shiya cursed inwardly, and her body quickly jumped back, barely avoiding the trap.

She stood there in shock, looking at the bottomless cave under her feet, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

The air around her became more solemn, and Dai Shiya felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

She knew that this was just the beginning, and greater dangers were waiting for her later...

"It seems that they already know I'm coming." Dai Shiya whispered, with a sneer on her lips, "Then let me see how capable you are!" She clenched the self-defense weapon in her hand, looked forward with a firm gaze, and walked towards the unknown darkness step by step...

"Maybe," Dai Shiya paused, "I should first..."

Dai Shiya looked at the dark trap under her feet, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She did not retreat at all, but deliberately walked towards the seemingly harmless bushes next to her. With a light toe, a thin plate disguised as fallen leaves shattered with a sound. There was

a light "click" sound, and then several black shadows rushed out from the surrounding woods and surrounded Dai Shiya.

They were wearing camouflage uniforms, their faces were painted with oil paint, and they held various weapons in their hands. They didn't understand why Dai Shiya, who had obviously avoided the previous trap, fell into the trap again?

Dai Shiya scanned these people. She pretended to be panic-stricken and said in a trembling voice: "Who... who are you? Why are you attacking me?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" A tall man in black shouted, his voice as rough as sandpaper, "Who sent you?!"

Dai Shiya sneered in her heart, but her face was even more terrified, "I... I was just passing by, I don't know anything..." As she spoke, she quietly moved her feet, seemingly panicking, but in fact she had locked onto a small minion standing in the corner.

At the moment when the man in black relaxed his vigilance, Dai Shiya suddenly jumped up, her figure moved in front of the small minion like a ghost, grabbed his arm, and controlled him with her backhand. Before

the small minion could react to what happened, Dai Shiya pressed him to the ground and shouted in fear.

"Ah! Let me go!" The small minion struggled, crying in his voice, and the oil paint on his face was washed away by sweat.

Dai Shiya looked at his embarrassed appearance, and a sense of relief rose in her heart.

She ignored the minion's plea for mercy, but looked at the black-clad men around her with cold eyes, and said coldly: "Now, can you tell me where this place is?"

The black-clad men looked at the minion who was subdued by Dai Shiya, their faces full of shock. They didn't expect that this seemingly weak woman was so cunning and turned the tables in an instant.

The air seemed to solidify, and there was a tense atmosphere.

Wei Qing, did you see it?

Dai Shiya thought silently in her heart, with a slight smile on her lips, "Next, the good show is about to begin."

"It seems that this deep into the tiger's den is more interesting than I thought." She said softly in a voice that only she could hear, and then pulled up the trembling minion and walked towards the depths of darkness, "Lead the way."

Dai Shiya dragged the minion and walked through the winding underground passage.

The air was damp and dull, with a faint smell of mold, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

The rough rocks on both sides of the passage scratched her arms from time to time, causing a tingling pain.

The minion trembled in her hands, and the sound of his teeth chattering was particularly clear in the silent passage.

"How far is it?" Dai Shiya's voice was cold, piercing the minion's eardrum like an ice cone.

The minion replied tremblingly: "Almost...almost...just in front..."

Dai Shiya's footsteps did not pause at all. She stared at the front closely, not daring to relax at all.

Wei Qing's calm voice came from the communicator beside her ear: "Shiya, according to the information I intercepted, there is a large assembly hall 100 meters ahead, which may be their core area. You have to be careful."

"Got it." Dai Shiya responded in a low voice, and a trace of vigilance rose in her heart.

She felt that the air around her became more solemn, as if something was lurking in the darkness, waiting for an opportunity to move.

Suddenly, the minion stopped abruptly, pointed to the front and said: "It's...there..."

Dai Shiya looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a huge metal door at the end of the passage. The door was engraved with complex patterns, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

"Open it." Dai Shiya ordered.

With trembling hands, the minion took out a key from his pocket and inserted it into the lock on the door.

With a light "click", the metal door slowly opened, revealing a brightly lit hall.

The hall was brightly lit and luxuriously decorated, forming a sharp contrast with the dark and damp passage.

Dozens of men in black gathered in the center of the hall, seemingly performing some kind of ceremony.

When they saw Dai Shiya and the minion appear, they stopped what they were doing and looked at them vigilantly.

Dai Shiya glanced at these people.

She pushed the minion in front of her, blocking her in front of her, and then said coldly: "If you don't want him to die, get out of my way!"

The air solidified instantly, and there was silence in the hall, with only the whimpering of the minion echoing.

Suddenly, a low voice came from the depths of the hall: "Dai Shiya, we have been waiting for you for a long time..." Dai Shiya blocked the trembling minion in front of her like a shield.

The minion's breath sprayed on the back of her neck, warm and rapid, mixed with the smell of sweat and fear.

In the hall, the light reflected by the crystal chandelier was dazzling and cold, illuminating the shining weapons in the hands of the men in black.

The cold light of the metal reflected in Dai Shiya's eyes, but she was not afraid at all, instead she showed a sneer.

"It seems that your hospitality is not very friendly." Dai Shiya's voice was crisp and powerful, echoing in the hall.

She could feel the minions trembling more violently behind her, but she did not waver at all.

The leader of the men in black walked out of the crowd. He was burly, with a stern face, and a pair of hawk-like eyes stared at Dai Shiya.

"Dai Shiya, you are very brave. You dare to break in here." His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of threat.

"Same here." Dai Shiya replied without showing any weakness, "I want to see what you can do to me." She could feel the eyes of the onlookers around her, with curiosity, surprise, and fear. These eyes pierced her like needles, but she didn't care.

The leader of the men in black waved his hand, and the men in black around him immediately stepped forward and surrounded Dai Shiya and the little minions.

Dai Shiya felt the little minions' body stiffen and his breathing become more rapid.

She gently patted his shoulder and signaled him to calm down.

"Let him go, and we can consider giving you a quick death." The leader of the men in black said.

Dai Shiya sneered, "Do you think I will believe your nonsense?" She glanced at the men in black around her and quickly thought of a countermeasure in her mind.

There were some strange symbols carved on the walls of the hall, and these symbols seemed to have been seen somewhere...

At this moment, Dai Shiya's eyes were attracted by an inconspicuous symbol in the corner.

This symbol is different from other symbols. It is more complex and more mysterious.

Dai Shiya's heart moved. This symbol may be the key to unlocking everything!

However, before she had time to take a closer look, more men in black poured out from both sides of the hall and surrounded her, making it impossible to get out.

The air was filled with tension, as if a taut string could break at any time.

Dai Shiya clenched her fists, her knuckles turned white, and beads of sweat oozed from her palms.

"It seems that the fun has just begun." She whispered, looking firmly at the leader of the men in black, "I want to see how capable you are!"
