I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

Chapter 57 Fortunately I'm Here

After learning about the abnormal situation outside Xia Pi, Wei Lang immediately sent people to the outside of Xia Pi for observation.

The people sent out carefully explored the surrounding area, not missing any suspicious place.

A few days later, the people who were sent out hurried back and reported to Wei Lang, Chen Jue and Chen Jia nervously: "Master, Master Chen, Miss Chen, I found that there are many lightning-attracting iron wires on the ground recently. The scene looks like some kind of sacrificial ceremony, which is very strange."

Wei Lang frowned, staring at the painting drawn by his confidant, "This is a sacrifice in the Bashu area."

Chen Jia's expression also became solemn as she pondered the connection between them.

"This must be their plan to wipe out Yang Xiu's entire army. Using the method of attracting lightning from the sky is really insidious."

Chen Jia nodded slightly: "This sacrificial scene is very strange, I have never seen such an arrangement. Wei Lang, you said this is a sacrifice in the Bashu area, do you have any basis for it?"

Wei Lang pondered for a moment and said, "I have heard that there are some mysterious sacrificial activities in Bashu, and the methods are strange. From the current situation, this method of attracting thunder is similar to some legendary sacrifices in Bashu. And I suspect that the sacrifice is likely to be a woman, and the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth are required."

After hearing this, Chen Jia quickly recalled the unofficial history and strange articles that he had read before.

Wei Lang said solemnly, "In some ancient legends, people who are used as sacrifices are often considered gifts to the gods. They will be subjected to extremely cruel rituals, and it is said that the sacrifices will not be reincarnated after death. Their souls will be trapped in the place of sacrifice forever and suffer torture."

"It seems that we need to find the sacrificial site as soon as possible and dismantle it as soon as possible."

When they arrived near the sacrificial site, they indeed discovered the enemy patrol.

Wei Lang immediately ordered the soldiers to hide and wait for the opportunity.

Chen Jia nervously observed the enemy's movements, silently praying for a smooth operation.

Finally, while the enemy patrol was away, they quickly approached the sacrificial site.

However, as soon as they entered the sacrificial site, they felt a strong sense of oppression.

Countless lightning-attracting wires are intertwined together, like a huge spider web, which makes people shudder.

Chen Jia, Chen Jue, Wei Lang and their confidants carefully explored the sacrificial site.

This mysterious place is filled with a weird atmosphere that makes people shudder.

They walked very lightly, fearing that they might trigger some unknown mechanism.

Chen Jia's eyes were full of vigilance, and she was observing everything around her carefully.

Suddenly, her eyes stopped on a seemingly ordinary stone slab.

"Be careful, there may be a trap here." Chen Jia reminded softly.

Everyone stopped immediately and stared at the stone slab nervously.

Wei Lang signaled his confidants to remain vigilant and be ready to respond to emergencies at any time.

Chen Jue squatted down and carefully observed the pattern of the stone slab. "The pattern of this stone slab is very strange, and it seems to hide some kind of pattern."

Just as they were thinking about the pattern on the stone slab, the stone slab suddenly moved slightly.

Everyone was startled and quickly stepped back. Then, the stone slab slowly sank, revealing a dark hole.

A cold breath surged out from the cave entrance, making people feel creepy.

Wei Lang frowned and said, "It seems we have triggered a trap."

Chen Jia took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

"We must be careful in dealing with this situation. This mechanism may bring unexpected dangers."

They approached the cave entrance cautiously, trying to see what was inside.

However, the cave entrance was completely dark and nothing could be seen. Wei Lang took out a torch and lit up the cave entrance.

In the light of the fire, they saw that the entrance of the cave was full of sharp spikes and complex mechanical devices.

Chen Jue took a deep breath and said, "This mechanism is so cleverly designed. If you fall into it, the consequences will be disastrous."

Wei Lang thought for a moment and said, "We must find a way to shut down the mechanism, otherwise we won't be able to move forward."

Chen Jia carefully observed the surrounding walls and ground, hoping to find clues.

Suddenly, she found a stone with strange symbols engraved on it. "This stone may be related to the mechanism."

They gathered around and carefully studied the symbols on the stone.

After some discussion, they finally understood the meaning of the symbol and found a way to shut down the mechanism.

In the process of closing the mechanism, they operated very carefully for fear of making mistakes.

Every action is fraught with danger, and the slightest carelessness may lead to more serious consequences.

Finally, the mechanism was successfully closed and the entrance to the cave slowly closed.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew that the danger was not over.

They continued to advance through the sacrificial site, remaining vigilant at all times.

However, just when they thought everything was under control, they were suddenly ambushed again.

A group of men in black emerged from all directions and surrounded them.

Wei Lang immediately drew his sword and prepared to fight. "Everyone be careful, these people are not friendly."

Chen Jia and Chen Jue also nervously prepared for battle.

Their trusted followers surrounded them closely to protect their safety.

The men in black launched an attack and the battle was about to break out.

Wei Lang and his cronies fought bravely and engaged in a fierce battle with the men in black.

Chen Jia and Chen Jue were looking for opportunities on the side, trying to find the enemy's weaknesses.

During the battle, they were constantly injured, but they did not retreat.

They know that only by persevering can they defeat the enemy and protect the safety of themselves and others.

Chen Jia observed the enemy's attack pattern and found a flaw. "Attack their left side, that's their weak spot."

When Wei Lang heard Chen Jia's reminder, he immediately led his confidants to change tactics and concentrate on attacking the enemy's left side.

The men in black were caught off guard by their sudden counterattack and their formation was thrown into chaos.

With their joint efforts, they finally succeeded in repelling the men in black.

Wei Lang, Chen Jue, Chen Jia and their cronies had just repelled the men in black. Everyone was panting, but they dared not slack off at all.

They knew that time was running out and they had to quickly dismantle the mechanism, find the sacrifice and stop this terrible conspiracy.

Wei Lang stood closely beside Chen Jia, his eyes full of vigilance and protection.

He said softly to Chen Jia: "Chen Jia, you must be careful and follow me closely."

Chen Jia nodded slightly, feeling a warm feeling in her heart.

They began to carefully study the surrounding environment, looking for clues to the mechanism.

Chen Jue found some strange symbols and patterns on a wall. Everyone gathered around and discussed how to deal with it.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Jia said, "We can first observe the patterns of these symbols and patterns to see if we can find the key to cracking it."

So they began to carefully analyze the patterns on the wall, trying to find the logic behind them.

Chen Jue boldly guessed: "Perhaps we need to trigger these symbols in a specific order to unlock the mechanism."

They decided to start with some symbols that looked safer.

Wei Lang carefully reached out his hand and gently touched a symbol.

Instantly, there was a slight vibration around, but no other danger occurred.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and continued to touch the symbols one by one in the order they had guessed.

As the symbols were triggered one by one, the mechanism began to respond.

Some mechanical devices hidden in the walls and the ground gradually appeared, making creaking sounds.
