Chapter 1023
As night fell, everyone held torches and continued to save people.

Cheng Shuyuan had returned to the Sea of ​​Fog earlier when no one was paying attention.

Around the cemetery, everyone was racing against time to dig holes to rescue Gu Mohan and Nan Wanyan. Among them, Ye Qianfeng worked the hardest.

Not only did he have to command the overall situation, but he also had to personally find a way to crack the mechanism. His crow-green robes were wet and dry, and his pale handsome face showed a look of weakness.

He walked up to Yun Heng and Feng Yang, his steps seemed a little heavy and his voice was hoarse, "How is the situation?"

The two of them were not much better now. They supported each other and shook their heads. Their bodies were covered with dirt and stains, and they were out of breath from exhaustion.

Yun Heng pushed the shovel in his hand to the side and wiped the sweat from his face casually, with a solemn and worried look on his face, "We are already close to those agencies."

After saying that, he took the shovel from Feng Yang's hand and motioned for her to rest against him for a while.

Feng Yang shook his head and refused, staring at the coffin for a moment, "Princess and the others have not been heard from, and they can't rest."

Ye Qianfeng pursed his thin lips tighter and took a look at what they were digging, then turned back and said, "You continue, be sure to remember the locations of all the mechanisms and don't touch them randomly."

Ye Qianfeng turned around and left, leaving behind a cold and tired figure. Yun Heng and Feng Yang both looked at him deeply, and then looked at each other.

Frankly speaking, Ye Qianfeng was quite capable, and Yun Heng was confused. After all, the people who were in trouble were the emperor and empress of a country, but Ye Qianfeng was not afraid of danger and could arrange what they would do in such a short period of time.

He is the only one who understands the art of mechanism, and he alone took on the task of deciphering the entire art of mechanism without any trouble.

His heart for the Queen was indeed Chicheng.

"Don't be stunned, continue quickly!" Feng Yang scolded Yun Heng back from his thoughts. Yun Heng didn't think about it anymore and hurriedly lowered his head to dig a hole to save people.

It has been so long. I wonder what the current situation is like for the Emperor and the Empress?
Ye Qianfeng looked at the incomprehensible formation and did not alert others. Instead, he placed the buckle he had made in advance on the side of the disassembled coffin, which was the mechanism that Nan Wanyan had accidentally touched before.

After groping around, he discovered that the original double-layered coffin had been tampered with for a long time, and now it was completely three-layered. Between the inner and outer layers, there were countless densely packed wooden and iron gears.

The mechanism that Nan Wanyan accidentally triggered before is hidden in the mezzanine on the left side. After the first touch, these gears will be used to open the mechanism and finally reset it.

He also asked someone to pry open the bottom panel of the coffin, but found that the things hidden inside were even more weird and complicated. If he wanted to start directly from the bottom, it would be even more detrimental to Nan Wanyan and Gu Mohan.

Because of the mezzanine, Ye Qianfeng did not notice that at this moment, half of the spear was inserted into the bottom outer floor of the coffin...

With a solemn expression and white lips, he looked at the intricate mechanical parts in front of him, trying to twist the circular roulette buckle he had made.

He just went to see Yun Heng's excavation. It shouldn't be a problem. Maybe this mechanism could be broken.

At this moment, Cheng Shuyuan was walking towards him, sweating profusely, with anxiety and worry on his fair face.

Ye Qianfeng ignored him, aligned the gear on the buckle with the nearby parts, and tried to twist it, but found that it didn't twist much at all.

His long, cold white knuckles were numb and trembling slightly. He frowned and tried many times, but he still couldn't get the buckle to twist at all. His wrist was extremely painful and his face became paler.

Ye Qianfeng was obviously exhausted, so he gave up decisively and looked at Cheng Shuyuan, who was silent at the side, with a sharp look.

"Cheng Shuyuan, I know you are hiding your clumsiness, but at this point, if you continue to act like a pig and eat the tiger, the princess will only die from this."

"If you are really here for the princess, then now, I need you to twist this buckle. This should be the formation eye. As long as you can twist this buckle, maybe the switch can be restarted."

"But this buckle is not that easy to get. You need to go all out."

He also wanted to rescue Wan Yan by himself, but he really couldn't do it. No one could stand it even if he kept spinning. He hadn't eaten anything for a day, and he was so focused on the research that he really didn't have the strength to twist the buckle anymore.

However, the design of this buckle means that even if he is full of energy, he may not be able to twist it.

Cheng Shuyuan had just seen how Ye Qianfeng fiddled with the buckles, and was still thinking about how to help, when Ye Qianfeng poked him in the back.He glanced at Ye Qianfeng meaningfully. Nan Wanyan was in trouble. He was in no mood to pretend anymore, "Okay."

Moreover, he can no longer hide.

Because Xin You had just come to report that Qian Yuan had been found, but he had been dead for several days and his body was rotting and smelly at home.

Qian Yuan is dead, and no one can solve this mechanism. Now, he can only trust Ye Qianfeng, who is quite accomplished in this area.

"Is that how you do it?" Cheng Shuyuan placed his hands on the buckle, his sharp eyes gradually filled with ferocious color, and his whole body seemed to be enveloped in an unusual aura.

Ye Qianfeng nodded, "Yes, you need to use your internal force to twist to the left. The buckle is very strong and requires force."

The buckle is so narrow that it can only be twisted by one person, not two people. However, the buckle should be locking a huge mechanism, so it requires a lot of strength to twist it.

Cheng Shuyuan stopped talking, frowned, and suddenly shouted loudly, shaking the air within ten steps.

He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to activate his internal energy, but found that this mechanism was really difficult and required a huge loss of internal energy.

He took a half-step backwards and stood on his heels in a lunge. However, due to the exertion of force, both feet did not even penetrate the soil for five minutes.

"Give me - move!" Cheng Shuyuan finally gathered his strength. His robes were blown by the strong wind, and the black hair on the back of his head spread out. His scarlet eyes were full of cruelty.

As soon as he finished speaking, the buckle actually began to twist, but his arm was broken directly due to the twisting of the buckle, and a crisp dislocation sound was heard.

But Cheng Shuyuan, who had always been afraid of pain and death, seemed to be unaware at this moment. Even though one of his arms was broken, he still twisted the buckle without changing his expression, determined to rescue Nan Wanyan and others.

Ye Qianfeng was horrified. His eyes looked at Cheng Shuyuan with a deep look, and his face became more solemn than before.

He knew that Cheng Shuyuan was hiding his clumsiness, but he didn't expect that Cheng Shuyuan could actually twist the buckle!

This skill...

Finally, after the buckle rotated a full circle, Cheng Shuyuan collapsed on the ground as if he had lost all strength. His arms were limp and unable to move, and bright red blood flowed from his lips, which made his fair and delicate face look extremely crazy.

Still 20 meters away, the people who were digging deeper suddenly heard a rumbling sound around the coffin. They looked around and saw that the coffin and the surrounding grooves began to sink and shift again.

"Eh?! The trap is open! The trap is actually open!"

I don't know who was the first to exclaim. Everyone was ecstatic and ran towards the coffin.

Feng Yang and Yun Heng immediately put down the shovels in their hands, only to find that the large hole they had dug after a hard day's work was rapidly sliding and collapsing due to the changes in the mechanism.

"Everyone, please disperse first!" Yun Heng said secretly, fearing that the others would be injured, so he shouted loudly.

He subconsciously hugged Feng Yang's waist tightly and used Qinggong to lead her to avoid it first.

Everyone who heard the call also reacted one after another, looked at the collapsed ground under their feet, and quickly dispersed.

Ye Qianfeng and Cheng Shuyuan were severely injured. They were right in the middle. The ground under their feet did not loosen. Instead, they watched the surrounding soil burst instantly, revealing a large dark and moist space.

Dust filled the wind and sand, making everyone unable to open their eyes.

After a while, the gust of wind finally calmed down. They looked forward in shock and worry, only to hear someone shouting with joy.

"Look, it's the princess! And Emperor Nishino-"
