Princess Lily Arrives

Chapter 170 The Lost Palace Treasure

Lily and her team returned to the palace, feeling a sense of accomplishment. However, as soon as they arrived at the palace gate, a palace guard ran over in a hurry, looking anxious.

"Your Highness, something big has happened in the palace!" the guard said, panting.

Lily's heart tightened, "What happened?"

The guard said hurriedly: "The palace's treasury has been robbed! The thieves are very skilled and it is hard to guard against them."

Lily and her friends looked at each other. This was obviously a new challenge. Mo Li frowned and said, "It seems our adventure is not over yet."

The emperor also rushed over after hearing the news, his face gloomy. He looked at Lily, his eyes full of hope, "Lily, we need your help this time. The treasury is not only a symbol of wealth, it also contains some important time and space treasures. Once it falls into the hands of the wrong people, the consequences will be disastrous."

Lily nodded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will definitely find the treasure back."

At this time, a man in strange clothes came over. He was tall and had a mysterious look in his eyes. The emperor introduced him, "This is our newly hired court detective, Sherlock Holmes."

"Holmes?" Lily was a little confused. "Why does this name sound familiar?"

Holmes smiled and said, "The name is just a code name. The important thing is that I am good at solving various mysteries."

The team decided to go to the treasure house to check the scene first. The door of the treasure house was opened and it was in a mess. The gold, silver and jewelry were looted, but most importantly, a mysterious time and space treasure box was also missing.

"The thieves' methods this time were very sophisticated. They left no traces." Holmes said after careful observation, "But they obviously came prepared and had a clear goal."

Lily squatted down and found a strange piece of metal on the ground with complicated patterns engraved on it. "What is this?" she asked.

Holmes took the metal piece and after studying it carefully said, "This is a clue left by the thieves. It looks like some kind of ancient code."

Xiao Ai took out her high-tech equipment and scanned the metal piece. "This is an ancient language code. I can try to decipher it."

After some effort, Xiao Ai deciphered the code. "This is a set of coordinates pointing to a remote valley."

The team immediately set out for the valley. After a long trek, they came to an ancient ruin. The ruins looked abandoned for a long time, but some fresh footprints could be vaguely seen.

"It looks like we've found the right place," said Rhett.

After entering the ruins, they found that it was full of traps. Xiao Ai once again demonstrated her skills and cracked these traps one by one. As they went deeper into the ruins, a mysterious underground passage appeared in front of them.

"This underground passage must lead to the thieves' hiding-place," said Holmes.

The team entered the underground passage cautiously. The walls on both sides of the passage were engraved with strange symbols, which seemed to be telling some ancient legend. Suddenly, a low laugh came from the front, and a figure appeared in front of them.

"Welcome, brave adventurers." said the mysterious man, his figure hidden in the darkness, only a pair of cold eyes could be seen.

Lily responded fearlessly: "We are here to take back the treasure that belongs to the palace."

The mysterious man sneered: "Do you think it's so easy to get the treasure back? This is just the beginning."

Before he finished speaking, the underground passage began to shake violently, and countless black shadows appeared on the wall and attacked them. Mo Li drew his sword to meet the enemy, Lei Te used a magic shield to protect his teammates, and Xiao Ai continued to crack the mechanical device.

Lily raised the Time and Space Scepter, and a strong light dispersed the shadow. The battle was fierce and tense, but the team's seamless cooperation gradually gave them the upper hand. In the end, Lily hit the mysterious man with the Time and Space Scepter, and he let out a painful howl, and his figure gradually dissipated into the air.

"We did it!" Rhett shouted excitedly.

But at this moment, the underground passage began to collapse, and the surrounding walls quickly disintegrated. Lily hurriedly raised the Space-Time Scepter, trying to stabilize the vibration of the space, but it was not very effective.

Xiao Ai quickly manipulated her mechanical device to create a temporary shield to protect everyone from the falling debris, while Xiao Lin looked for the only exit.

"Hurry, there's a passage this way!" Xiao Lin shouted.

The team quickly followed Xiaolin to find a hidden underground passage and finally escaped safely from the collapsed ruins. When they stood in the sun again, although exhausted, everyone's face was filled with the joy of victory.

"It seems that we have saved the palace again." Lily said with a smile.

"Yeah, this adventure is really exciting!" Rhett responded with a smile.

"But we can't let our guard down yet," Mo Li reminded, "Who knows what challenges are waiting for us in the future."

Lily nodded, she knew that this was just a stage in their adventure. The road ahead was still full of unknowns and challenges, but she believed that as long as they were with their partners, they would be able to overcome all difficulties and protect the peace of time and space.
