"It seems that we have been tricked."
Looking up at the anxious Hu Kui, Xue Yun said in a deep voice: "Where is the body? Take me to see it."
Holding a cigarette in his mouth, he puffed away at the smoke.
Shrugging his shoulders, Hu Kui slowly stood up helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Come with me."
The two walked out of the office.
Outside the City Lord's Mansion, the "Violent Fortress" had already slowly landed on the spacious lawn.
A large number of staff were busy going back and forth. Under the instructions of Zhao Tianyi and Wang Defa, Sun Xiaolong and Mu Yumi, who were still unconscious, were transferred to the medical department directly under the Combat Readiness Department.
With Duan Muyan sitting there, I believe that a correct assessment of the physical and mental conditions of the two people will be made soon.
He stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Tianyi, who was in a daze.
With a smile on his lips, Xue Yun couldn't help but said: "You, come with me now."
He still had a standard paralyzed facial expression.
Even though Zhao Tianyi was a little reluctant, he couldn't resist Xue Yun's persistence and had to passively follow the two of them out of the scene.
"Don't bother me, Boss Xue~!"
The bald man not far away quickly raised his hands and shouted: "What about me, what should I do!?"
"Go home first..."
Pointing at Wang Defa from the air.
Xue Yun looked back and warned: "In addition, the safety issues of Sun Xiaolong and Mu Yumi have also been handed over to you. Cooperate with Duan Muyan to treat them well. If there is any situation, remember to inform me as soon as possible."
Say it.
The three people immediately disappeared at the end of the city lord's palace, leaving Wang Defa alone in front of the spaceship in a daze.
Under the leadership of Hu Kui.
Everyone passed through the various key passes in the city lord's palace unimpeded. Many guards along the way saw the three people coming towards them. They all saluted respectfully and chose to let them go immediately.
"Here we are, right here."
Traveling all the way to the depths of the City Lord's Mansion, the three of them stopped in front of a tall metal gate.
On the door leaf, which is more than five meters high, silver threads outline strange lines.
A huge dark stone statue crouched in front of the gate. It looked like an awakening lion with auspicious clouds at its feet, but unfortunately, something similar to antlers grew out on both sides of its head.
As soon as he got within a few feet of the gate, a majestic and heavy intimidating force suddenly rushed towards Xue Yun.
In an instant——
The motionless giant stone sculpture in front of you seemed to come to life at any time. The strong energy fluctuations were higher and higher. In a daze, people suddenly felt intimidating.
"It's incredible, Xue Da..."
in mind.
Xiaowanzi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly couldn't help but exclaimed: "This momentum is clearly the power of the Qilin clan's divine breath!" 』
He was suddenly startled.
Although Xue Yun appeared calm on the surface and chose silence, deep down he was extremely shocked.
Qilin auspicious beast - a monster that is one of the three major myths along with dragons and fire phoenixes. It is an extremely powerful existence in legend.
It is said that this guy's strength is enough to break mountains and rivers with just one breath, causing super destructive power like the sky is shattering and the earth is shattering.
And all of this is only roughly recorded in the documents in the early days of the Cataclysm.
In the past four hundred years, this kind of terrifying monster is exactly the same as the dragon clan, and has almost never appeared in public again.
Why is there a statue of this thing in the main palace of Longdu City, and why does it exude such pure divine power? !
Pushed up his glasses.
Zhao Tian also felt the strange pressure coming from the front. Zhao Tian on the side did not change his expression, but the inexplicable excitement that passed through his eyes could not be perfectly concealed.
He suddenly bowed and saluted the stone statue in front of him.
Hu Kui's face was solemn and he spoke respectfully: "Hu Kui, the unfilial descendant, respectfully asks for the protection of our ancestors and the city lords of the past generations, and opens the door of convenience, so as to protect the peace of our Dragon City from generation to generation, without disasters for eternity."
Buzz…
With a deafening buzzing sound.
The terrifying pressure in the void suddenly dissipated, and the huge stone sculpture slowly sank into the ground.
next moment--
The metal door suddenly rose, and a long and deep passage immediately appeared in front of the three people.
"What exactly is here..." Xue Yun pondered.
"There is such a legend that has been circulating in Longdu."
He took out a lollipop from his pocket.
Zhao Tian stuffed it into his mouth, and while sucking, he spoke first: "More than five hundred years ago, the first ancestors of the Hu family assisted the Xuanyuan family in defeating powerful enemies from all walks of life, and finally established the current Great Xia Empire. And the ancestors of the Hu family Because of his outstanding military exploits, he was canonized as a vassal, and that’s why the current Dragon City was established..."
Pushed up his glasses.
Zhao Tianyi looked as usual, looking at the mysterious passage in front of him, and continued in a cold tone.
"It is said that the ancestors of the Hu family once captured countless trophies, including various rare and exotic treasures, and even the bones and body tissues of many legendary powerful monsters..."
Sucking on a lollipop.
Zhao Tianyi said with great interest: "These precious treasures have been stored in a secret room in the City Lord's Mansion. For more than five hundred years, only people with the blood of the Hu family and the qualifications of the City Lord know their whereabouts." .”
He threw away the burned cigarette butt.
Hu Kui smiled bitterly, nodded and admitted, "Yes, this secret room was the place where the first ancestors of our Hu family used to store their personal trophies."
"Not only that, it seems to have become a tradition..."
He pondered for a moment.
Looking up at the huge door that had been retracted, Hu Kui said bluntly: "The lords of Longdu City in the past dynasties would store their rare objects in it. Over time, this place has also become the personal collection museum of dozens of Longdu City Lords. .”
The cunning rabbit also has three caves, let alone the powerful city lord and princes?
After hundreds of years of accumulation and dozens of generations of hard work, God knows how many jaw-dropping treasures there will be in this secret room...
"Good guy..."
I couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Xue Yun pointed to the depths of the secret passage, his tone full of ridicule: "So, you put all those corpses in this secret room?"
The secret treasure house of an ancient family was instantly transformed into a temporary morgue.
Even if it is to deceive others, it has to be said that this kind of coquettish operation really makes people feel a little off guard.
"Otherwise, this is related to the survival of Longdu, and it is not a child's play."
Shrugging his shoulders.
Hu Kui spread his hands and said with a helpless expression: "If the bodies of these imperial city envoys are discovered by spies from various major forces, once the news leaks out, Longdu will immediately become the target of public criticism throughout Great Xia. Only if they are stored here, Only as a city lord can I feel completely at ease."
The stakes are high and all possible risks must be avoided.
Almost immediately, Hu Kui ordered that all the sensitive corpses be moved into this secret room.
Just because no one else could open this closed metal door except him.
"All in all, this matter is far from as simple as you think."
He shook his head silently.
Hu Kui let out a long sigh and took the lead to step into the corridor of the secret room: "Go inside, and when you see the corpses later, you will understand why I am so hostile to rats."
