Chapter 229: Taotie Gate
Chapter 229: Taotie Gate
There were delicious foods everywhere in the Gate of Taotie, but Chang Ningchen felt full after eating a little. To be honest, the cake was a bit too sweet and it was a bit greasy after eating too much. The chicken was too dry, and the other barbecued meats were not very tasty.
Chang Ningchen, who used to be a chef, criticized while eating. When he was full, he didn't want to eat anymore. But the orc Qia Qia was eating like crazy. He couldn't stop eating and showed off in various ways.
After Chang Ningchen had eaten, he found that Knight Michel and other soldiers had not come. The team that originally had thirty-three people suddenly had only three people.
Chang Ningchen asked curiously, "That's strange. Michelle doesn't seem like a procrastinator, does she?"
Dongfang He ate a piece of steak elegantly and said, "You can't take the treasure of the Serpent Gate. If you take it, you won't be able to pass through that corridor."
Chang Ningchen looked at Dongfang He in shock. He asked angrily, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Dongfang He replied guiltily, "I only discovered this after I came here. Looking back from the Taotie Gate, those treasures are all poisonous snakes, and that corridor is movable. I guess whoever took the treasure would fall down the corridor."
Chang Ningchen thought it made sense but was a bit of hindsight. After eating, Chang Ningchen began to look for the door to the next world. Seeing that the orc Qia Qia looked like he was full, he wanted to persuade him to eat less.
But the orc had completely lost control of himself at this moment, and his stomach had already been bloated from eating so much.
Chang Ningchen asked Dongfang He anxiously: "Is there any way to make him stop?!"
Dongfang He shook his head and said, "This Taotie Gate depends on one's own restraint. He is in such a state that he cannot be saved."
Anyone who can't control themselves will be stuffed to death here. It's their own fault. Fortunately, his wife is picky.
Dongfang He was actually quite worried that Chang Ningchen would not be able to pass this test. Fortunately, due to dietary differences, he was not used to Western food. If he switched to Chinese food, he would be doomed.
In fact, Dongfang He intended to lower the quality of the food. At the beginning, in order to protect Chang Ningchen, he planned to use the menu of the Ying country, but when he saw the pairs of eyes looking up at the stars, he felt that these dishes were really inedible, so he added some grade to them.
The two of them walked together to the last door, which had a pattern of a goat on it.
Dongfang He warned Chang Ningchen: "The people here are all fake, don't be fooled."
Chang Ningchen nodded, then asked just in case: "Will we meet in there?"
Dongfang He thought for a moment and said, "We won't meet. Just keep moving forward and don't look back."
Chang Ningchen looked at the open door and walked in with a determined look. A very dazzling light shone over him. Chang Ningchen closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he found himself standing in a large garden. He looked up and saw the Tower of Light.
The system reminded him, "As long as you put the holy artifact into the tower, the mission will be completed! But there is a time limit, so hurry up!"
Chang Ningchen hurried into the tower. After a few steps, he saw a figure appear in the garden. When the tall man turned around, he found that the man's sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes looked somewhat familiar.
"Zhao Ergou?!"
Zhao Ergou was the rebel leader in the world where Chang Ningchen and Dongfang He first met. At that time, Chang Ningchen was a tyrant and had lost his memory due to persecution by powerful officials in the court. The two of them joined forces to overthrow the dynasty of that world.
Chang Ningchen wanted to run over happily, but he remembered what Dongfang He had said to him, so he quickly ran over and pretended not to know him!
But Zhao Ergou was very curious when he heard Chang Ningchen calling his name, so he followed Chang Ningchen.
Chang Ningchen saw this guy chasing him and asked curiously, "Why are you following me?"
When Zhao Ergou heard Chang Ningchen's words, he replied in confusion: "I heard you call my name, do we know each other?"
Chang Ningchen immediately denied it and said, "We don't know each other."
Zhao Ergou thought Chang Ningchen was quite interesting and followed him, "Do you know where this place is? I seem to have appeared here suddenly. Do you know why? I want to go back..."
Chang Ningchen wanted to explain to Zhao Ergou, but he still had a mission to do. He remembered Zhao Ergou's enthusiastic and patient character. It would not be good if this person kept following him and asking him questions, right?
So Chang Ningchen said to him, "Look! There are birdmen flying!"
Zhao Ergou immediately looked up at the sky curiously, then he felt a headache and knew nothing.
Chang Ningchen put away the brick in his hand and quickly ran towards the Tower of Light. Before he had run far, a tall and handsome man appeared.
He recognized this man as Alpha Zhan Mo Yuan! The other party was also an S-level combat power, so he had no way to deal with it. Chang Ningchen took advantage of the other party's inattention and knocked him down with a brick!
Today is a good opportunity for revenge! Let’s settle the past grudges with today’s bricks! Chang Ningchen held up the glowing brick in his hand with anger in his eyes!
This regent who dragged me to the backyard to fight must eat a brick! Let you cricket me!
That high-tech master, the system said you drugged me! Now that we know about this, we can't let it go!
Even if I get angry pretending to be my apprentice, I'll give him a brick! I've been enduring that evil inspector for a long time! Yan Chenghe also tricked me!
When they arrived at the Tower of Light, Chang Ningchen's snow-white robe was stained with blood, and his hands were sore from clapping all the way.
Chang Ningchen suddenly realized that he had been cheated by Dongfang He more than once or twice. Thinking about it, Dongfang He in this world didn't look like a good person at first glance. He would hit him with a brick when he got out!
There was only one hour left, but Chang Ningchen couldn't find the stairs to go up. Just as Chang Ningchen was turning around anxiously, he saw Jiang Chen. The man's originally handsome eyes were gray.
The other party was blind, and it would be too cruel to hit him. Thinking that Dongfang He had not done anything excessive in that world, Chang Ningchen decided not to hit him.
Jiang Chen couldn't see anyone but he could feel someone beside him. He looked at Chang Ningchen and said, "You give me a familiar feeling."
Chang Ningchen was a little anxious, but looking at the gentle Jiang Chen, he calmed down a little. He said, "I'm sorry, I have something urgent to do and can't stay with you."
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Are you having any trouble? Maybe I can help you."
Chang Ningchen said a little embarrassedly: "I want to find the stairs to the upper floor, but I can't find them now."
Jiang Chen turned his head slightly, then pulled Chang Ningchen forward.
Chang Ningchen quickly took over the task of leading the way and asked Jiang Chen to hold his hand. The man pointed in the direction and led him.
Jiang Chen and Chang Ningchen walked to a wall and knocked on it. The sound of a hollow wall was completely different from that of a solid wall. He said, "I heard the sound of wind passing through behind this wall. If we open it, there should be stairs leading to the upper floor."
After Chang Ningchen opened the wall, he found that it was indeed a staircase. He happily thanked Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen smiled and disappeared in front of Chang Ningchen. He said with his final mouth shape: Go quickly!
