"It's strange. All the traps along the way have been triggered, but not a single person died."
"Anyway, be careful..."
In the dark passage, several flashlight beams swayed back and forth, and a group of people followed behind and moved forward cautiously.
"There seems to be a light ahead!"
"It seems to be a hall, everyone, hurry up and follow us!"
As soon as a group of people rushed into the hall, they were pointed at more than a dozen assault guns.
"Stop, don't move!" "Hands up!"
Those who came in were all people who had been tricked into working as coolies by the Iron Fist mercenaries. The two sides quickly reached a consensus and joined Wu Erxiong and Zeng Daming's team.
On the other side of the hall, facing the five passages, Chen Xing sent out a team of twelve goblins every once in a while.
Unlike the mirror clone, Yuling has independent consciousness and can act independently of the host. There are also differences between different Yulings. Some cannot leave the host too far, while others can leave the host for a long distance, or even have no distance limit.
Among them, the "half-spirit" whose body is sleeping in the deep glacier is the farthest away. Their fire of life is still burning, but they are in a state of eternal slumber. Their powerful self-awareness forms spiritual bodies, which are very similar to the "spiritual projections" of false gods. After manifesting the body, as long as it continues to replenish energy, it can continue to move until the host cuts off the space channel.
Goblins are weak and don't carry much energy, but they also consume relatively little energy. They can be as far away as about ten kilometers from their host. Although the distance is not far, it is more than enough to explore the underground palace.
At the same time, above the underground palace, on the top of a half-collapsed temple, several well-dressed nobles were communicating.
The leader was a sturdy middle-aged man, and everyone was looking at him. He has a square face, wearing a top hat, a monocle hanging on his right eye, and holding a cane in his hand. The exposed hand exudes a black metallic luster and has strong lines. It can be seen that it is a mechanical arm.
He is the famous Iron Fist Earl Brook.
"I feel sorry that something like this happened." Count Iron Fist sighed, then his eyes narrowed, and he slammed his cane on the ground, "I will definitely make the murderer of the Viscount pay the price, please witness!"
The Count of Iron Fist is powerful and majestic.
"Viscount Laurent is also our friend, we will never let the murderer go!"
Count Iron Fist nodded, then glanced at the tall, thin middle-aged man next to him, and said, "Viscount Jesse and I have checked the scene, and there are signs that the golden gate has been opened."
"The murderer's target should be the treasure house in the fortress, and the contents inside may have been taken away."
"Earl Brooke, do you mean that the other party has the key to the treasure house?" one of them asked.
"Judging from the current situation, the possibility is very high." Count Iron Fist replied.
Everyone took a deep breath, a trace of greed flashing in their eyes. There are still three known treasure houses, but they are all unopened due to lack of keys. If you get the key, you can get a lot of money even if you split the money.
"The murderer is accustomed to fighting with firearms. The Yuling is a huge white wolf and some small green monsters. As long as he can get close quickly, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with." A man with a thin face, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and a cold expression in his gentle manner The middle-aged noble said.
"My Legamazo is not good at tracking. If the murderer is found, I will rely on a few friends to help intercept him."
"No problem!" "Leave it to us!"
At this moment, an officer of the Iron Fist mercenary came from below and saluted above.
"Sir, the rats exploring the path have been driven down in batches."
"In twenty-four hours, send our people down."
"yes!"
A few hours passed in the blink of an eye, and the goblins sent out by Chen Xing found a suspected treasure house.
During this period, the teams of Wu Erxiong and Zeng Daming expanded several times.
At this time many people begin to feel thirsty and hungry. The Iron Fist mercenaries did not give them water or food, and only treated them as disposable consumables.
Under the threat of death, riots soon began.
"These bunch of bitches want to starve us to death here." "Instead of starving to death here, it's better to go up and fight with them!" "Yes, fight with them!"
Upon seeing this, Chen Xing called Wu Erxiong and Zeng Daming over and took out some compressed biscuits and drinking water from the storage space like magic.
"Everyone has two glasses of water and half a biscuit." Chen Xing ordered, "Stabilize them first. When the time comes, people from above will definitely be sent down, and everything will be ready by then."
After settling everyone down, Chen Xing entered the inspected passage.
Two teams of goblins advanced with torches, Chen Xing walked in the middle of the queue, and several goblin wolf cavalry opened the way in front.
A few minutes later, a three-way intersection appeared ahead. I found the correct direction from the marks on the wall and walked in.
This underground palace was very huge and the passages were complicated. Chen Xing sent thousands of goblins back and forth to find the place.
After walking for more than forty minutes, I finally came to a huge wooden door. It is wrapped with iron sheets and embedded with large rivets, making it look extremely sturdy.
Just now, the goblin was blocked by this door. There was no lock on the door. Chen Xing tried to push it, but it didn't move. There must be a wooden bolt holding it up from behind. This is a common method used in tombs. After the door is closed, something falls down and it becomes stuck.
Since there is no way to open the door normally, we have to use violence.
Chen Xing thought and the giant ax fell. He held his hands empty, and the giant ax stood up as he moved, and then slashed down.
Only a loud noise was heard, and the sharp ax blade struck into the wooden door. Smoke and dust erupted from the cracks everywhere, filling the entire passage.
Huge feedback came, and Chen Xing felt like his internal organs were churning. Although he did not touch the ax handle directly, the feedback force was truly transmitted to him. Both arms were numb, as if they were gone.
If you chop it like this, I'm afraid you'll be injured internally before the door can be opened. Chen Xing pulled out the ax and replaced it with the Goblin Fire Breather.
They danced and drank a big mouthful of wine, then picked up the torch and blew on it.
"tumultuous!"
Several pillars of fire sprayed on the door, the temperature rose rapidly, and a large amount of white smoke came out of the wood.
After burning for more than ten minutes, the surrounding air became thinner and thinner. Chen Xing felt that he was about to run out of oxygen, so he asked the fire-breathing goblin to go back.
The wooden door was scorched black, the willow nails were burned red, the iron sheets around the edges were melted, and a pool of red molten iron formed on the ground.
"It should be almost done."
Chen Xing summoned the giant ax again and chopped down the wooden door with great force.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
This time it was much easier. The wood burned by the high temperature became fragile, and Chen Xing cut a hole in it in just a few strokes.
The opening was only the size of a fist, and the body could not pass through it, but it was enough. Chen Xing looked inside through the gap, and a spatial crack opened inside the door.
As long as the eyes can see, the domain space can be opened. A group of goblins ran out and knocked down the wooden bolt behind the door.
The door creaked and opened inwards.
Goblins holding torches ran out. The fire suddenly illuminated the room. The walls are engraved with dense runes and patterns, like some kind of runic circuit.
In the middle of the room is a round high platform, which seems to be used to place things, but there is nothing on the platform.
Chen Xing couldn't help but frowned, but he stood at the door and did not dare to go in directly. In order to see the entire round platform clearly, Chen Xing summoned the White Wolf King, stood on the wolf's back and observed, and gradually discovered that there was a round bump on the platform.
You couldn't see what it was at first, it was covered with dust. Until a few goblins climbed up and wiped the raised parts with their hands.
A golden light appeared in his eyes. Under the firelight, the polished part was like a golden mirror, dazzling.
Driven by him, the goblin sped up and wiped all the dust-covered areas clean.
Finally seeing the whole thing clearly, it turned out to be a golden shield!
I don't know what kind of process it was made by. The shield surface is as smooth as a mirror without any flaws, but under the light of the fire, circles of beautiful patterns emerge.
The golden light flows on the shield like a liquid, indescribably dazzling and beautiful.
Chen Xing was not in a hurry to let the goblins take action, because the way the shield was placed was a bit strange. Maybe there was some mechanism underneath, and as long as the shield was taken away, some kind of trap would be triggered.
Chen Xing looked around for a few times. The walls and ceiling were empty, and he didn't find anything special.
With the character of Emperor Shalafe, there must be some kind of mechanism set up, but it's just hard to see. Even if you can't find the mechanism, you can't enter the room.
Chen Xing quickly thought of a countermeasure. Six strong Goblin warriors climbed onto the high platform and stood around the golden shield.
Following Chen Xing's mental command, the Goblin Warriors took action at the same time, suddenly raised their shields and threw them out the door.
As the shield left the ground, a rumble sounded from above. The moment Chen Xing received the shield, a huge stone pillar that could cover the entire room slammed down with a shocking force. The Goblin Warrior on the high platform was immediately smashed into meat patties.
In an instant, smoke and dust filled the air, the ground shook, and the entire passage was shaking. The masonry on the roof was loose, and fine sand flowed out from the gaps, forming curtains of sand.
Chen Xing didn't stop for a second. After catching the shield, he immediately drove the White Wolf King and rushed towards the way he came from.
The shaking became more and more severe, and bricks and stones fell down one by one, and then began to collapse in pieces.
Bricks and stones kept falling down, and the White Wolf King dodged left and right, as fast as an arrow leaving the string. The passage behind them kept collapsing, and if they slowed down even a little bit, they would be buried alive on the spot.
After running for several hundred meters, the shaking gradually slowed down and the landslide stopped.
The White Wolf King's pace slowed down, and Chen Xing finally had time to look at the shield he had just received.
The golden light flows on the beautiful patterns, which is extremely gorgeous.
The entire shield is round in shape, with a diameter of more than one meter, and is full of round and smooth beauty. The workmanship is almost perfect, not a single flaw can be found, and it doesn't look like a human creation at all.
For some reason, when Chen Xing saw the shield, the first thing he thought of was not himself, but Ye Yang Bailiu, who was holding a spear and protecting himself with a shield.
Women's things are indeed suitable for women.
